In the movie Home what if the boove and the gorn are the answer to the Fermi Paradox? Boove probably settle on worlds that have sufficient resources which easily could already support life.Also like the boove are very efficient at relocating an entire planet's sentient population against their will(on a planet of 7.7 billion they missed 1 that we know of) by the start of the movie suggesting they have experience in this. And the gorn tend to destroy planets that the boove lived on. If they do it enough they could quickly clear out atleast a sizable chunk of the galaxy.

On a potentially darker point, they did seem more than eager to utilize human infrastructure. We also see they are capable of living in the ocean, on space ships, and even on the moon. Lastly they have access to human information, but information that is lacking in certain key areas, like say, stuff that might be left out of radio and TV transmissions? What if the boove are intentionally seeking out inhabited planets? We do see that the Home universe isn't empty at the end, you know, after the boove gorn conflict is ended for long enough that word has spread that it is safe. So what if the only species who broadcasts for long were the boove, and those who don't know better, the others being lucky enough to be warned by something before the boove turn their attention to them

Does anyone remember that cute alien movie by Dreamworks? Here is my OC Shirl, found in my current work-in-progress fic, Forces of Gravity. Click to expand for the link!

[femalemonsterhunter]

This is my redrawn/redesigned artwork/concept art of six alien/dimensional creature characters of mine (From left to right: Qualord, Octara, Palsofie, Osi and Moza; except for Kyle from Home) in my unnamed Crossover AU project from my previous old one (below) I did back in 2017.

And plus, the name of the society was immediately changed from "Team Alien" to "Offcast Gang", which means that every alien/alternate/dimensional creature character of mine (except for Kyle) was immediately expelled from their home planets/dimensions for their reasonable methods, that they stubbornly refuse to give disciplined and excessively limited rules and the legislations of their native homelands (mainly due to Octara becoming self-willed and independent from her ominous ink-based Octarian homeland in Octo Valley due to an event after the first Splatoon game) and then they become individual and separate from their disposable ones on further journeys throughout the galaxy.

And yet, regarding my old OCs next to Kyle, I wanted to introduce you:

Qualord - he’s the probable leader of the Offcast Gang. Moreover, he’s a dog-like big buff alien who once lived planet Fosian with some inhabited by the same species as his was called as Fosikos. He was banished from his own planet to across the galaxy for piloting his spaceship when he refused to continue participating in the hostile and conquering Fosiko armies and even marauding and poaching societies against other alien societies/groups such as the peaceful and passive society of cat-like alien individuals called Felicuses in the separate planet Catsmos.

Osi - he’s a little armless bipedal and one-eyed monster, who was once a former doctor/medic and scientific expert on his underground homemland called Monotopia on an unknown fantasy-like planet in the Universe B2, but was expelled for his excessive and genetically characteristic habits for being too much smarter and more worthy than his fellow Fuulscat individuals, who seem too much stupider than him. Moreover, he speaks with a distinctly elegant voice, similar to a voice of an elegant but historical human scholar, and he also enjoys reading many types of books as well as novels.

Palsofie - a dwarf dragon-like alien prisoner (with an iron mask that allows him to cover his mouth from endless fire breathing) who escaped from Aguaali Prison on the planet Srewxi, even he was a former member of the Horly Gangs (a criminal and robbery organization together with four of different alien species) until he was caught and arrested by the police after a bank robbery incident. Though, he speaks in a muffled gibberish, as the mask completely hinders him. Also, The name of his alien species is Karstak.

Moza - she is a fairy/pixie-like small winged creature, who occasionally lived in a small town called Laafitown (covered beyond the grass near the edge of the forest) on an unknown fantasy-like planet in the Universe B2, the same place as Osi did. Yet, she must possess various types of magical abilities (especially nature elements, for example) using pollen-like materials from each used bag and wand or other items she received from her fellow wizard, Slateous, and others. Also, the name of her species is Laafiza. And an interesting fact, some people (including Kyle) who first saw Moza, accidentally confused her with a child, but in general, Moza is an adult, it's just the case that she is naturally chibi-like smaller in stature, like her fellow Laafizas in general.

Octara - She is a 25-year-old female Octoling and was one of the former commanders of the Octarian Armies in the Octo Valley. Then, in the first Splatoon game incident, specifically when Agent 3 (now, Captain in the third game) was fighting against DJ Octavio during the final boss, the pop idol duo, Squid Sisters (Callie and Marie) performed the Calamari Inkantation to get Agent 3's support and even that attend the Octolings (including Octara and Marina) get inspired by this performance to their new feelings within, After that, they managed to escape from their undervalued and unprofitable homeland and assimilating into Inkling culture, hoping to start anew. Even for Octara, it still opened up her new destiny to become self-willed and independent, to do things on her own terms than her fellow Octolings did, and then a few years later, at the age of 21, she finally left Inkadia via a passenger spaceship to travel across space and galaxy to another dimension called Universe A2 on the planet Alteria, so that Octara needs to get a new job at an environmental company called Squi Inc., while it is run by the CEO of this company, actually the politely noble Twintacle Octotrooper, Iroham Toutentakuru. Also, when she is assigned as a member of the Offcast gang, first of all, as she and her comrades first met Kyle during their events, but first Kyle was like the first secretly in love with Octara because of her physical appearance and so on, and she also has a crush on him back during their bizarre and comedic adventures, moments and journeys throughout the galaxy and he even saved her during a battle against a volcano-like destructive entity, Vulkaavr in the Osi and Mosa's universe, and eventually she and Kyle became together and married after all.

And besides, I had fun redrawing some of my characters in their new but better look than before. And I was even lucky to draw Kyle again after a long time.

Also, I hope you like it.

To my fellow Smekday / Home fans concerned over one or the other and whether or not you have to choose:

YOU CAN LIKE BOTH.

I can’t believe this has to be said, but the amount of complaining I’ve seen for the movie that not only borders on stuck up and even elitist, but says that you literally can’t like the movie is quite irritating to me, and it’s time somebody says something about this. Before you get on my tail, I’ve read both books. The book and movie have their own unique plotpoints, their own flaws, one with flaws way more prevalent than the other, but you can still appreciate the movie for what it is.

As for the books, I heavily appreciate the lighthearted fun, dark undertones, and the fun story that’s attached to it. I like the designs of the aliens, and I like the stakes and real consequences involved. I love how the post-invasion world is described, how desolate and hopeless it all seems. I love the eerieness of it all, I love the development and worldbuilding of the boov themselves. I love how their history is laid out, I love the koobish, I love the deep, touching characters and their personal journeys, I love how the second book delves deeper into post-invasion Boovish society, I love how we get to explore their architecture, I love how the bees are described, I love how the silliness of the plot doesn’t distract from the seriousness of some aspects and scenes of the book, just all of it.

On the other hand, the movie, whilst different and considerably more flawed, is a personal favorite of mine, and I watched it at least 7x during my Home/Smekday hyperfixation. I do have a gripe with the title and it should have been more specific, and even considering its many flaws in comparison to the book, I love the campy fun of it all, I love the visuals, I love the music, I love the score (If you don’t think Frolicking in Paris is an epic masterpiece, then what kind of monster are you? /t /lh), I love how Dreamworks adapted the story in their own way, I love the design of the Boov, I love the play into shape language, I love how the Gorg were done (even if they should have been a different alien species), I love the underlying tone, I love how Oh redeems himself, I love how the two protags bond, just all of it.

The only piece of Smekday media I don’t fully like is the Adventures With Tip and Oh series, given its numerous flaws and cookie-cutter nature, but even then, it can still considerably stand on its own, and has some fun elements that make it unique in its own right. Hell, they even adapt some concepts from the book in greater capacity in the series, which I personally appreciate for that. BoyBoyGirl Band is a cool concept that something can be done with if elaborated on a bit more, and Sharzod is also pretty neat if you adapt them right.

Plus, pointing out the differences between book and movie whilst reading was really fun too, and looking into both gave me incredible insight into how both versions are done, as well as how they can be done further with a little bit of fanwork. Reading the books and watching the movie gave me a lot of fun and good ideas for an AU later down the line, and I can’t wait to fully get it off the ground beyond a few concepts I did. If you can’t pick one or the other, I think a fun little AU would be the perfect project to look into and use both (or even all 3 / 4) pieces of source material with in a way you see fit!

In conclusion, you can like both. It’s not a big deal, and while you can be mad about the movie and how it admittedly did kinda butcher a lot of the book in a few ways, that doesn’t give you the right to lord over what others can and can’t like, nor does it give you the right to shame others for liking the version that you don’t like. I do not want to have to argue over this, my stance is final.

In order to cement this as a Smekday / Home post, here’s a few images of boov.
