#human alien collection

[mumblesplash]

do you ever end up accidentally getting super attached to a trope so specific and rare you don't even know how to look for it? 'space aliens failing to understand that a human showing teeth usually isn't a threat display' isn't even an ao3 tag. finding that shit in published fiction or tv shows is next to impossible

#<- guy who searches ao3 by the 'misunderstandings' tag without even specifying a fandom #mumbling #if you've been following me for a while you may remember my introduction to mcyt was when i started scraping the bottom of the barrel #looking for 'humans are space orcs' stories #but what you may not know is that was already a ways down a rabbit hole that began with *avatar the last airbender* #it basically went #'holy shit salvage is a good story' -> read every existing version of hakoda being a good dad to zuko -> #'shinsou hitoshi getting adopted by aizawa has the same vibes fuck it i'll read that too' -> 'why are they aliens in so many of these' -> #get addicted to the 'humans are space orcs' trope -> find a whole collection of fics about that exact thing -> #for some reason the collection is 80% dsmp fics -> i am not picky -> 'oh no they've got a crow-coded father figure' -> #still not rly interested in the dsmp source material -> minecraft kinda interesting tho -> wait what's hermitcraft -> and now here we are #all bc 3 years ago i wanted zuko to have a decent father figure #firelord ozai made me draw pinup art of goodtimeswithscar: the true and harrowing tale of my descent into madness #flameo hotguy or whatever the kids are saying these days

I love people I think I've been one for a very long time or perhaps the opposite

#sometimes i feel like i tjink like an alien the way i get excited about like prehistoric people ancient civilizations and like #little things like what humans create and how people live together and interact with each other and with the world #what people have worn in the past vs fashion today and just any sort of progression of that nature #maybe it has to do with that i love lists and categories and sorting and graphs. these too are collections and groups of things *sees them*

as far as social media sites go, even if some people on here are. A Lot. And there's bad corners, as per everywhere... Still, compared to Some Other Large Sites there is an appreciation for the Human here. The experience of being human, the joy of creation, exploration of the reasons we share things and the motivations and experiences of authors. Of reflecting on how works impacted us. How even simple funne posts or whatever impact us.

#in the corner ive pruned for myself at least i feel much surer that we all understand that intention in media matters lol #like. i saw a post by some tech shithead about how “the future could be that we never have to watch or read the same thing twice” #implicitly that thanks to AI we'd never have to consume the same thing twice. #and i just. felt like an alien #bc even though he was obviously being ratioed to fuck #very few people were saying explicitly “that would blow who even wants that” #but i know for a damn fact all my mutuals here who have read the same 3 books on rotation for decades bc they were formative got me lol #personal #text post #People who don't create and have in fact removed the idea that they could ever create are black holes of humanity btw #even if you think you aren't creative most of us have at least some hobby where we make SOMETHING #whether you took to mending your own shoes or DIYing or playing guitar or dnd or woodworking or 3D printing or collecting retro synths #you likely have something you relax with #channel feelings into #these people seem to have never once experienced the human concepts of exploration or creation or play. all they have is consumption. #and its making me even more mental than i already am lol

There’s so much going on in w359 season four that they find out a galactic empire wants to absorb humanity and are like well we’ll unpack that later and then they don’t.

#there's a general consensus that the aliens are still better than the human capitalists they're dealing with #or at least a less pressing issue #discussing this on discord #ironically the one person most fussed about the aliens' imperial intentions #is the guy who uses the most overtly imperial language about human space exploration #you recognize your enemies in the mirror I guess #at least the Listeners have the excuse of not really GRASPING individuality when they place the collective over individual people #they have the capacity to learn #hopefully #or humanity is screwed #wolf 359

I’ve noticed that decent amount of Sasha fanart has this polarity to it.

Most of the art of him is either distinguished, bold and/or intimidating. He’s here, he has presence, and he’s going to be your greatest ally or your greatest adversary. And then there’s the other type of fanart that kinda looks like someone just dumped a bucket of water on him. The best term I can come up with is patheticness? Where you just want to just pat him on the shoulder with a “you’ll be alright.” It’s hard to describe but I see it all the time.

I like both honestly, all power to you artists!

This polarity also reflects how is actually is in the games, being introduced as this badass, possibly evil scientist character and then you spend some time with him and look at RoR and he’s actually just a massive dork with a committed aesthetic who’s willing to get into debates with children over geometry and the conviction of scientific discovery.

#psychonauts #psychonauts 2 #psychonauts rhombus of ruin #sasha nein #both is good #i don’t really have a point to this post it’s really just an observation #okay but the speech/ramble over the radio in ror??? #holy shit it is hilarious and one of the deepest things I’ve heard about the nature of scientific discovery #like “who am I to stand in the way of our destiny even if that destiny is our destruction”?!? #fucking “what value is there to humanity but the truths we have collectively discovered painful though they were to learn?” #and those bangers are mixed in with drug induced panic for being falsely accused of murdering an alien crew #i need to make a post about the ror radio monologue alone it’s so good and such a nice expansion of sasha’s character and adds conviction

thinking about the sonic 2 premiere i went to alone, at like 3pm (it was def early afternoon but not sure when) with just like 5 other people in the room (moms with kids) and how everyone left before the credits ended and i was sitting there Gripping the fuck out of the seat in front of me after the whole movie and then seeing post creds shadow i yelled (quietly) (sorry to the staff guy coming in to clean) it was the best movie experience ive ever had cant believe its been almost 2 years now

also the very next day i went to see it again with a friend to show him what the fuck i just saw and also make sure what i saw was actually real and not a daydream

#what i wish fnaf was like #rewatched the movie so many times most of it doesnt feel good anymore and i cringe hard at some spots #but it has amazing scenes still. ofc all the stob ones (which killed me in the cinema) but also the super sonic ending ate #the tails scenes were kinda ass and the humans are so so #i liked the wedding scene when i first saw it but i do agree it was too long. it should be about furry aliens and not random ppl #unless its stone #also toms actor i forgot your name but youre not all that im sorry. the gag reel of him dancing i could do without it thx #i hope jim comes back one last time and they work with shadow somehow but there should also be a big threat #thinking about chaos would be cool. im also expecting chaos emeralds collecting #if its meant to be a trilogy and then a wrap up they need to go out with a bang #buut i feel like they could do more mini series after like knuckles (if it ever sees the light of day) or make spinoffs #a shadow spinoff of him looking for his past would literally write itself honestly #they could do less of the humans and not focus on robotnik and stuff maybe even do some portal traveling off earth

Two new OCs I thought up recently! I haven't figured out names for them yet.. the idea for the story is that they're part of a sort of sci-fi alien race. These two fight for change and equality in that world, along with a few others that I haven't drawn yet. This is just a rough idea, and it'll probably change over time, and I'm interested to see where this story goes! :))

#my art #art #original character #alien oc #(I know that they look basically like humans but with different skin colors but I think it still counts??) #both of these designs started as a collection of picrews used for brainstorming ideas

What American is talking about Canada? Who cares about Canada?

fair

#americans in my inbox so salty about being called aliens in human suits #like damn #ya'll are so sensiiiiitttiiiiiiiveeeeeeee #maybe i meant it as compliment #huh #why would you want to be a regular human #when instead you could be an alien masquerading as a human #i mean i didn't mean it as a compliment #BUT YOU COULD TAKE IT THAT WAY #it's fine tho #be offended #cry your bald eagle tears #i will collect them and sell them on the black market for some of that sweet sweet american money #soph rambles

One of my favorite Halloween costumes I've ever done was this time in college that my wife and I got invited to a space-themed costume party, and we used my collection of cheap costume pieces to put together these outfits that consisted of like, sunglasses, shitty wigs, ill-fitting hats, floral shirts, Party City leis, shorts, and several neckties.

And then at the party, every time someone asked what we were, we would be like,

"WHY WE ARE OF COURSE TWO HUMANS HERE ON VACATION IN YOUR SOLAR SYSTEM--I MEAN COUNTRY."

"HAHA YES. WE ARE JUST TWO CANADIANS FROM... CANADIA, HERE TO PARTAKE IN YOUR EXOTIC CULTURE OF EATING FOODS AND DRINKING LIQUIDS!"

And we basically spent the whole night iterating upon our little improvised intro again and again, and it was a blast.

My wife is such a good scene AND life partner, and I am so glad I married her! - Especially since she shares my love of Earth culture! -- I mean, human culture-- I mean, regular culture because as we all know, all culture on this planet is human culture because this planet somehow has only one sapient species!! - And that is something ALL of us with less than 6 limbs get to share and agree upon like any human would!!!!

#original #I LOVE MY WIFE #what do I tag this as? #costumes #improv #aliens #costuming #sci fi #science fiction #SPACE #outer space #outerspace #intergalactic #tourism #my wife and i enjoy long walks on the beach and breathing oxygen with our human lungs!! #costume party #fancy dress party #we were in a Shakespeare troupe that had costume parties like once a month year round #usually I just used whatever I had in my closet but I do collect costumes #and we really fucking nailed a shit load of couples costumes. other highlights include Macbeth & the ghost of Banquo #as well as Dionysus & a Maenad. Gomez and Morticia. and the Marx Bros with my friend Perry as Chico. #we also went to a halloween performance of Dracula as The Gender Binary. #that's all I can remember off the top of my head but we've been together for like 10 years and there's been a lot of couples costumes #oh! one time we went as different Spider-Men from the spider-verse movies and we dressed the dog up as our own creation 'Peter Barker'! #he works at The Daily Beagle!! i was Spider-Man Noir and my wife was Peter B Parker

the good thing about asperger's no longer being a diagnosis is that it's just called level 1 autism spectrum disorder now. i know i probably shouldn't be poking around in the mental health of strangers online, but as an autistic person myself, your struggles resonated with me. ever since i've been able to accept, understand, and begin to provide myself accommodations for my autism, my mental health has improved tremendously. autism is also co-morbid with oodles of other conditions, so it is definitely possible to have autism and other conditions that may have overlapping symptoms

It's funny, I was diagnosed, accepted it, over analyzed and rejected it, subsequently forgot about it entirely, then when the only helpful counselor I ever had brought up the idea I was like: Oh yeah! That makes sense. And went through the same process over again. I will say, having someone point out that something might be inhibiting my ability to interact with people was extremely helpful. Because I just thought I was really bad at it and processed it as a point of failure (which was intolerable). At one point she said "You don't have to do things you don't want to just because you feel like you should" and I think about that a lot. That should have been obvious but it was like she slapped me with a fish

#i used to pretend to be a person a lot more. now im just like im too fucking tired to not be anything but myself #ill wear whatever weird patterns i want. ill avoid all eye contact and say whatevers in my head. bc usually its nothing #harmful. perhaps a bit blunt but usually in a way thst makes ppl laugh. with me or at me idk but whatever #ill be as weird as i want. i wear fucking white moon boots around everywhere lol. ay now im just being defensive bc #these r the things my sister would make fun of me for lol. point is im probably autistic and overthinking it #but in the past few yeas when the obsessive compulsive behavior started to become a more and more obvious problem i was like hm maybe its #something else and my brain restricts even the words i use in the context i use them so i became no longer allowed to say oh yea im #autistic. which is annoying. thr malignant force that is my obsessive compulsive tendencies. which again im not allowed to name bc its not #allowed without an official diagnosis bc thats how my brain work 👍 #level 1 autism sounds Hilarious tho. the teired heavens of autism. ive only ascended to level 1. allegedly. #god. my brain. y do i have to plausible deniability myself. its like im waiting for someone to collect evidance and make an arrest bc of #messy liguistics. ay ay ay. there r 2 wolfs inside me. one is trying to drown the other lol #unrelated #me when i have to b around ppl: actually im an insect person. an alien studying humans. watch them go #but no no im not one of them. im simply an observer

#Doodles #SCII #Helix #ZEX #Or if you prefer my very Normal Collection of ZEX stimming lol #I'm not choosing to read alien behaviours through a neurodivergent lense you can't prove anything #Okay you got me yes I am lol - in conjunction with my ADHD Max HC (which I am only more convinced of lol) I went into this with #Really any kind of self-soothing behaviour fascinates me :D And ZEX definitely needs the soothing ;; #But it's not just the stimming! Though I did keep pretty diligent notes about that lol he's deeply interesting to me! #He's a texture person! Part of that is due to being VUX and having very processed food but if it fits it fits! #I'm also a texture person - again I have too many notes relating to ZEX lol #I also find it charming (or sad - whichever is applicable at the time!) when ZEX eats in ''odd'' ways haha ♪ #Eating without utensils - you can always just wash your hands you do you <3 #The weighted blanket lol so - I had a very normal and measured reaction to ZEX enjoying full-body pressure lol #Solely and purely intellectual! Of course! VUX enjoy swimming! Full-body pressure makes complete sense! #And he's a tactile person on top of that - pressure good for multiple reasons! I really do think he'd sleep better with a weighted blanket ♪ #Back to stimming! I really loved the scene of him opening the water bottle and his therapist being So Impatient with him about it lol #Let him figure it out! He's very intelligent! Very skilled at finding weak points and exploiting them hehe <3 #But then he runs his finger on the lip of the bottle! Wine-glassing it while he talks hehe <3 I love him #Humming!! Another stim I relate to! Not so much now since it was ''encouraged'' out of me so I may be doubly biased towards him using it hee #Too delighted to focus on utensil lessons and yet he's still clever enough to pay attention to multiple things at once hehehe ♫ #And then aside from his actual biggest stim he plays with his hair quite a lot - in various ways and to different ends :D #Running his hands through it to self-soothe or tugging on it to express - I kinda read it as him trying to move his head feelers around haha #Not quite the same but something! #Oh and then his biggest stim - just looking at humans lol it is very dopamine-delivering <3 And he has dopamine now! Very powerful :3c #Hhhhh human chemistry for VUX behaviours <3 It's so interesting to me hehe ♪

I love the concept of dw companions so much bc it’s like hello I am an immortal being of nearly god-like power and intelligence who has lived for hundreds of years and travelled through the entirety of time and space. and this is my emotional support human.

#doctor who #dw #it’s literally just!! that’s their emotional support human of the week!!! #it’s so freaking cute honestly. like what a concept. #the idea that a being so ancient and so seperate from everyone else just… wants a little company…… #so they’re willing to bring a member of this species that has only a tiny fraction of their lifespan and knowledge into their life #and show them the whole universe #just so that they can have a hand to hold. just so that they have someone to talk to!!!! and share it with!!!!! #like god isn’t that a story. fr fr. #it’s literally just human beings with dogs except it’s an incomprehensible and deeply tragic alien fella #and their ongoing collection of Little Human Friends That Are Soooo Special To Them :))

i'm still mostly in waiting mode for the new hellblazer & queueing up a bunch of stuff for when school starts up again in a week & i'll get hellaciously busy again, so i am in & out around here this week. sorry everyone!

but in the meantime i AM poking around on my hellblazer npc multi (@debtsunpaid) if anyone wants to fuck around with the folks over there. i just put up an interest tracker, temp bios are in the pinned, and i'm working on full bios for everyone this week.

#( ooc. ) OUT OF CIGS. #headinhands.png #sorry for vanishing y'all this has been. a time. sick family & hospital visits & now a vet visit has me fried #and this ADHD is a real son of a bitch bc i simply Cannot focus i am too busy thinking about THIS TUESDAY #NEW FUCKING HELLBLAZER TO CHEW ON at which point i will once again be feral and rabid and writing #in the meantime i am throwing shit at the wall to build a very fun cosmic horror-ish oc based on the Fear Machine #who is basically the god born of all humanity's collective fears. supposedly defeated by zed & john in the late 80s #but now psychically chained to a wreck of a german man who thinks it's an alien he picked up in space #so if y'all want to hear me run my mouth about obscure hellblazer mythology again i'll be kicking around the multi #sched.

Current status, sitting here with a handful of my pre-existing Erinaen worldbuilding, a tab for notes, multiple tabs on sounds made by rats an opossums, and a playlist of Artifexian's conlang videos

We'll see what I can do before I die

#i'm hoping to at least figure out the sounds in imperial erinaen #which- i already have various words and shit in erinaen but also much like argit's name those don't nessecarily have to be great translatio #so probably going to aim for a collection of sounds that can get you close to the given words but not nessecarily perfectly aligning #the fuckers trill their vowels there's only so much that can be done #i'm sure there's *better* channels to turn to but i'm just doing this for s&g and also i enjoy artifexian #it's amazing how many points you earn by going 'i do humans and human-like aliens because it's easier for me personally' #rather than acting like intelligent life is guaranteed to be humany because we're the pinnacle of possibility or some shit

hrrrnnng... what if... shapeshifting creature.... that changes into the most dangerous thing it can sense that's nearby....

#actually I might do that with that alien thing I made a while back #the shapeshifting isn't perfect tho. so like masks aren't actually masks. if it turns into Jason Voorhees the mask is just it's face #it also can't mimic something like say. acid blood or glowing green blood. the teeth will always be sharp (with omnivorous teeth in the bac #it'll also collect some memories of the thing it's copying #and this is all as a defense mechanism. even though it's normal form is big enough grab a human with only the legs sticking out of the mout #eyes will also be the wrong color. its normal eye colors are green blue red orange yellow and purple. one color for each eye #anyways. imagine something that looks like micheal myers digging through the garbage and then staring at you with bright green and blue eye #and then it opens its mouth and it's all sharp teeth #churchy talks #churchy tag rambles
