Parents: What did you do today?

What I don’t say: Pretended to be multiple aliens on the internet for the amusement of strangers.

but what if I WANT an alien brain slug in my life, then who do I talk to?

@selfdeterminedsymbionts, please come collect your anon.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Why. Why is this my life.

I just wanted to run a cute little rp fanblog. That’s all I wanted to do. I’m currently trying to circumvent a paywall to read a scientific paper on furries. I am scientifically researching furries for a stupid rp blog because I make bad decisions and all of you are awful. The entire Animorphs fandom is awful for letting this happen. How did I get cornered like this. This is one million per cent my fault and I refuse to accept any of it.

Why is this my life.

Fun note: the journal wants to charge me $116US for this article and I have never been so relieved to see a paywall because if I can’t circumvent it then I don’t have to read this and can pretend this whole thing isn’t happening.

How do Yeerks and other aliens react after trauma?

Like anybody else, I guess? That's a pretty broad question.

Of course it makes sense to you. No one believes in a conspiracy theory that doesn't make sense to them. (Whether it makes sense to anyone else or not...)

It makes sense to any logic-minded people who aren't wrapped up in their own ego too much to consider that things are going on behind the scenes that they aren't privy to.

I don't think I'd like a Yeerk. Your interests are too alien for me to imagine that I'd like to spend a lot of time with you.

That's your prerogative, and so long as you don't actively try to kill us, not really any of our business.

If you don't have any ships, do you at least like genfic?

I read fanfic purely for security reasons.

What parts of human romance do you find icky? Just the sex? The other physical parts like kissing and holding hands? That people like to be together and spend time together and care about each other? That they feel all fluttery inside thinking about each other?

Look, this really isn't my area of expertise, and it doesn't really have anything to do with HYPA. How would you like it if I asked you lots of awkward probing questions about Yeerk courtship?
