terrible years really make you understand the point of a new year. i know nothing much will have changed between dec 31 and jan 1, but we need to be able to partition off everything that’s happened to us, we need a moment to say, ‘that’s done, we’re done with it, it’s over’ and have a little hope that the future will be different. we need to be able to stop and take a breath and sing, in the middle of winter, and prepare ourselves for spring.

after dying god informs you that hell is a myth, and “everyone sins, its ok”. instead the dead are sorted into six “houses of heaven” based on the sins they chose.

I know we all like Humans are SpaceOrcs posts…but.

Humans only really have a few superpowers. They’re not flashy? But they are definitely terrifying:

-endurance. We’re not the fastest by any means. Actually we’re pretty darn slow. But something we can do that other animals can’t? Walk all day, at a clipped pace, and not get worn out. Over distance vs speed I’ve seen posts where humans have beaten horses in marathons, because while the horse is faster it needs to recover and rest more often for that burst of speed.

-community. We’re a social species. Babies will literally die if they’re not cuddled, and even adults aren’t much better. (We pet things because yes other species like to be pet but we also literally need that interaction.) We survive better when we can pool our resources together and divide labor and take care of the most vulnerable members. We’ll pack bond and self-project onto almost anything out of this drive to Connect and be a specialized or balanced member of a collective

-creativity. We see a Problem, we come up with solutions. Then make tools to make the solution easier. Then use those same tools to make BETTER tools. And on it goes. Several cultures have never met but have still came up with nearly identical solutions to similar problems when applicable. We ADAPT.

-play. Almost all animals are healthiest when they play or rest, but we’ve found unending ways to do it, some very simple and others equisitely complicated. We turn things neccissary for survival into FUN so that we can enjoy it and keep doing it…or at least make it more bearable. Our brains ideally release Good Chemicals that keep us happy and therefore healthy when we do things that are Fun. We make tasty food, make clothes in absense of fur that we like the look of, we sing songs and tell stories to pass time and remember. We make celebrations when the season’s the darkest and coldest because we need FUN to keep on going until the sun returns with its light and warmth.

Because humans can’t really eat raw or rotting meat without getting sick, or eat most unprocessed grasses, and there are just as many foods that are toxic or don’t have any nutritional value to us as our foods do to other animals. We don’t have fangs or claws, we don’t spit venom (and pathogens don’t really work in that same way—it’s again closer to an endurance thing over time than Fast Acting Poison, and it’s more useful against things we don’t plan on eating, anyway).

Our skin and hair is a reasonable barrier against the environment, but we lack the fat or fur layers to truly trap heat in (so we make our own “fur”. then style it because it’s FUN.) We don’t have spines or quills, either, and our reproductive systems are comparatively wonky in exchange for not developing a “breeding season”. We don’t have young capable of defending themselves immediately out of the womb, and by the time our young are nearly mature physically most species have already died of old age—yet our lifespans are still short, and dwarfed by other species just on our own planet. Some animals and plants have outlasted entire kingdoms and countries and governments and nations several times over before we had ways to gage their ages.

Even on our own planet, humans are “statistically average” to “not that great”. But we survived and thrived, anyway. And we did so by doing the few things we’re VERY good at. And we continue to do them because we’ve also learned to have fun and band together and analyze and just Keep On GOING…we’re gonna survive. And we’re gonna be alright.

When we talk about what humans bring to a SFF Story as our species’s unique traits, I want to see more of This. We don’t have to be conventually deadly (it’s actually because we just Shouldn’t Be by all logic but are anyway that makes things so terrifying), but that doesn’t mean we don’t have something Distinctly Human to offer.

More Stabby the Roomba. Less Humans are SpaceOrcs from SpaceAustralia.
