Haso post but about fungi, i feel like fungi exist in any planet, but only Terrans have breached the barrier of cuisine. Cue aliens panicking as their human crewmates eat the brown stalk button happily.
Alien: WHAT ARE YOU PUTTING IN YOUR MOUTH AGAIN XY
Human Xy: ... Shiitake chips?
Alien: Those are brown stalk buttons!!?
Xy: ... YOU HAVE SHIITAKE IN YOUR HOME PLANET.
Alien: Next thing you tell me you eat the dark rootsphere.
Xy: *pulling out a truffle* YOU HAVE TRUFFLES IN YOUR HOME PLANET.
Alien, visibly concerned why Xy is eating animal food: WHY DO YOU HAVE ROOTSPHERE ON YOUR PERSON

Hello there.
[Slides elegantly into the tags]
Do you ever think about Emotion?
Of course you do. How could you not. But do you ever think about this exchange specifically:
“You’re not Adrien!”
Because Adrien is sweet, and forgiving, and kind. In fact, kindness is his defining quality — Marinette herself made sure of it:
“I’ll never tell another boy I love him before I know everything about him! Whether he’s kind or not, thoughtful, what he does outside of school and with who… I’ll know everything.”
But.
Do you ever think about Adrien’s development in S4 and especially S5?
Overtime, he has grown resentful of a system that exploits him relentlessly.
Of the people he gave countless chances to, only to be let down over and over again.
Of the web of lies and half-truths he constantly finds himself tangled into. A web that is only growing bigger, stickier, and trickier to escape.
And the Senticousins. Do you ever think about them?
Do you ever think about how they are each other’s reflection, identical and opposites all at once?
“When you bring a living being into this world, you have a responsibility towards them. Your duty is to protect them, love them, help them discover the true meaning of their existence. To deprive them of that… is monstruous.”
“To have a child is to help them blossom, to grow, to find themselves and to be free!”
Do you ever think about their opposite character arcs in S5 — one learning mercy and trust, the other developing a rage so strong it could destroy the world?
Do you ever think that if Felix can now have this exchange with his mum, and mean it:
“They’re all monsters!”
“Not all of them.”
Then there’s nothing stopping Adrien from saying this:
“Look closer, Marinette. They’re the monsters.”

HASO but aliens find out that some humans are mithraditic
Mithraditism, by definition and simplified, is immunity to poison.
"Aaret, have you seen my potato plants?" Human Olivia asked her alien crewmate, as she looked around the greenhouse.
"It seems human Xy has taken them a while ago and replaced then around sector E3 afterwards. Is something the matter?"
"There's a lot of matters. Those plants were flowering, and Xy likes eating the flowers."
"? Pardon, but aren't potatoes edible?"
"If you count the greeneries and the flowers as edible, you'd be as good as if you ate the rotsack seed fresh and undiluted."
"What?! Then shouldn't we stop--?!" Aaret was stopped by the sight of the Human Xy in question, walking in with a handful of fried flowers, and a platter of fried potato. "Made snacks. Want some?"
"Human Xy, you musn't ingest those flowers!" Aaret's voice coming out of their two mouths was rising due to concern. "They're highly toxic!"
"... So is your cuisine to normal humans, Aaret. Have I refused your food ever?" Xy chuckled.
"See, 'Ret, Xy can eat whatever he wants. He's mithraditic."
"What's that?! Some sort of... Genetic mutation that allows humans to just not be poisoned?!"
"Yes and no. It's eating enough poison to not be affected by it."
"WHAT?!" Aaret was shocked by very little things, but every new thing they learned about humans just took off the calm face they had.
"Remember the tha-kari you use to cook, Aaret? Why around a day or two's worth disappeared?"
"I-I chalked it up to vermin from my homeworld."
"Well, Xy's legally classified as a vermin from your homeworld then. That's why he was sick for half a day." Olivia sighed.
"Listen, new encounters, new food. And speaking of, eat up, Liv. I promise there's no funny business in the fries."
"You used up 5 of my plants to snack. I'm taking your next salary."
Aaret has never seen Xy distressed until his food money gets threatened. Humans are... Strange.

thinking about Giles and Evil Queen. the bitter irony they hold. how Giles always believed his students should be able to step out of their pre-destined pages and write their own stories and then one of them does.
but it's the Evil Queen who does. she already has poisoned Wonderland and taken the Storybook of Legends, and if she doesn't get stopped who knows what other evil deeds she might commit. so she gets banished to the mirror realm.
Giles still believes everyone should get to chose their destiny, but what happened to his old student continues to haunt his mind. how funny it is that Evil Queen did what he wished. how funny it was how he was there to trap her in the mirror. how funny it is that he punished his own student for what he taught. but no one is laughing.
and to twist the knife he gets betrayed by his own brother, the same person with who he banished the Evil Queen, and gets trapped below the school, away from others eyes and no one to understand him. now both him and Evil Queen are in their own prisons with no hope of freedom for the same crime they commited in different ways.
