#alien interaction

[confessions-of-a-d-student]

I forgot people don't talk like Tumblr anywhere else.

What do you mean 'This is horrible. This is rancid. This is the worst thing that has ever happened to me in my life ever' is not a complement.

That's the nicest thing I've ever said.

Humans are weird...

I love all these humans are weird posts so I'm trying my hand at one. I've been thinking, humans are like, ridiculous specialists. Our brains is so big we're born prematurely so as not to tear our mothers apart. And we're born crazy weak and we have super long childhoods to compensate. We pack bond and bond with bigger creatures to deal with this (this is why we think babies of all species are cute, it's basically a drive to take care of this weak little thing because our own children are so weak). So what if alien species evolved so there was one, super weak but really brilliant species, has fine motor skills, huge language skills etc, and one that evolved as a symbiote that was basically huge protective dog/ox type to do the heavy lifting. And it's really bizarre that we don't have this symbiosis. Like the fact that humans are a stand alone species is weird. We seem huge and bulky to the tiny intelligent species (in my head it's basically an otter/raven hybrid) and small and delicate to the other. And they don't get how we function alone, until they see us spilling our pack bonding instincts all over everything, hostile predators, teddy bears, roombas, even cups with little chips in them. And then it's like, oh I see, you don't bond really strongly to one thing you bond just a little bit to everything and wait to see what sticks.

In addition to the loveliness that is "Humans are Space Orcs"... Ball and socket joints and double jointedness. Like...after a particularly grueling mission Human Pamela's arm is hanging off to the side at a clearly not-normal angle. All the other aliens on the ship immediately want her in the ship's ETC but Pamela just...pops it back into place. "Are human arms supposed to pop out?" "Nah, but they do sometimes. Hurts like a bitch, no joke." "Are you sure you don't want to see a doctor? We can easily-." "No, no! Really. I'll go in later. Promise. I mean, did you even SEE Xerzes? He lost one of those horn things on his face!" "Those are...um, aesthetic." "Oh, cool." Or some other human can just, move their arm both directions or spin their hand -palm down- around their wrist for a parlor trick and the aliens are just...low key silently freaking out in awe that the humans on board just...do this for funsies.

I saw you tagged my last anon as "human interaction." I would have you know that I am not a human, though admittedly I am quite fond of them. Now if you'll excuse me, there's a thing-well two things-well two things and maybe a cyberman. Don't worry. Nothing to be concerned about. I have it all under contr-

sorry
