#breeding new lifeforms

[feestestsheetintheweest]

ITS SO FUCKING SEXUAL

THE AMOUNT OF ANATOMICAL ANALYSIS THAT ALWAYS LEADS BACK TO THE WONDERS OF EITHER THE XENOMORPH BIOLOGY OR HOW IT INTERACTS WITH OURS, LIKE FUCK I KNOW FOR A FACT STARING AT THE UNALTERED BREATHING OF THE MAN ON THE TABLE WITH THE FACEHUGGER WOULD AT LEAST TURN SOME PEOPLE ON BESIDES ME

And

Before anyone says it

I already know it'd turn me on, it turns me on just from seeing it on my tv

Rewatched Alien for the first time in a looong time last night, and I was reminded terribly that this film was a massive formative force for my sexuality. John Hurt getting face fucked? Thanks, Ridley, you get me. Also didn’t remember being awfully attracted to Ash, but what can ya do?

[affectionatecorpse]

Okay so I see some people are debating what the monster from Still Wakes the Deep is. I'm inspired by the support from my Death Angel post, so I'm gonna try giving an analysis. Now science is not my strong suit, I'm much better at zoology, but here we go.

Of course, spoilers ahead!

So, the entity comes to light in act one. While Caz is being yelled at by his power drunk boss, Rennick, a worker going by the name Gibbo calls up to say there's an issue with the drill, something highlighted earlier by another worker. Rennick orders the drilling anyway, and thus begins the nightmare, as the drill seems to unearth and awaken a destructive parasite out for revenge. But I don't think that's as deep as it goes, pun intended.

Let's say, the creature is a parasite. A form of near sentient bacteria, though take that description with a grain of salt, I'm no scientist. Parasites simply cannot live on their own. That's an objective fact. They need a host. They exist within another for survival and breeding purposes, and multiply and spread through the body of another.

Parasites, bacteria and even fungi can live underground for years, and have been discovered to do so. Ancient lifeforms have been discovered just under the surface of earth, let alone deep underneath the ground and in the bottom of our oceans, one of the most complex and diverse biomes that our current science has barely scratched the surface of. It's highly likely this creature is a self replicating bacteria or parasite that was unearthed by the drill, and took up new hosts to survive in this change of environment.

But not every host worked. You can see half transformed, mutilated bodies everywhere, and some that haven't even changed at all. These bodies could not support the parasite and shortly died.

However, a few select hosts DID end up surviving; Gibbo, Muir, Rennick, Addair and Trots. It's unclear what sets these people apart from the others, and I don't know enough about this topic to claim an answer. But I certainly do think these folks died soon into the transformation, and are not fully conscious in the body. They frequently repeat terms and phrases, and never say anything you might expect from an entity possessing them, implying it's borrowing words and sentences that have been said by the host before, in other circumstances.

The entity plays with Caz's memories and definitely the others' too, though not all of them good. It wouldn't be a surprise to realise that's where it's getting information about it's host, as it reads the memories inside the brain to learn faces, names, and even the host's personality. Which makes me wonder, does it even realise what it looks like? Does the creature itself actually realise it's a parasite? Or does it completely and fully believe it is the person it's connected itself to? It almost downloads their personality and tries to pretend like everything is completely normal.

Let's talk about arguably the best monster (in my opinion), Muir. Muir moves about the area he frequently worked as what I assume was an engineer. He roams the familiar ground, almost unsure of why he's by himself. He often calls out to his coworkers, wondering out loud why they're treating him like he's different. Sure, this could be the real Muir's consciousness slipping in and out of the seams, but it's highly unlikely he would still be alive. Much like the zombie fungus, as it's often called, the host is not alive when the fungus is controlling it, and is merely a puppet. If the spiders it was corrupting could talk, I daresay, they'd be acting like them. Taking their place in the world, even if they don't realise it.

But every animal needs to eat. And eventually, that body is going to run out of tasty, tasty neurons. Like I said earlier, a parasite needs to spread. It'll breed, then spread to another to keep it's species alive. By infiltrating a 'pack' of animals, it will take anything to spread to the others. Which is exactly what the parasite does whenever it sees another human. Either that, or it will consume them, theoretically to feed the host so it stays alive, while keeping those tasty, tasty neurons for itself. You can almost see this process with Innes, as the elevator ascends without him, and you just faintly see Muir doing something in the distance. Likely consuming him for nutrients, as he was not connected to the parasite yet.

Next, there's Addair.

Addair, much like Muir, patrols familiar ground. Even though Addair himself wasn't even in that area when the drill struck. Now Muir was actively in that familiar space in the beginning, and it's safe to assume that's his place of transformation. But Addair was eating in the cafeteria when the incident happened, not deep down in the engine. Did he go down when the impact happened, while Caz was unconscious? Maybe. But the lights were fine then, and the engine wasn't the problem, so he didn't need a reason to. Plus, he doesn't seem like the type to be work dedicated, more inconvenience dedicated. Considering what I said about the parasite (badly) taking their place in society, did it go to his place of work after detecting that as his 'natural environment', per se?

Plus, unlike Muir, who greets the situation with quotes of confusion, fear and anxiety, Addair is instantly aggressive. Even an asshole like Addair is likely to panic if conscious in this situation, so the nervousness was Gibbo and Muir exclusive. But Addair and Rennick become immediately angry upon seeing Caz, as they actively disliked him in life, and so the parasite processes him as a foe to it's host. I thought that was neat.

Now another take I have admittedly heard from several other people, but I thought was worth mentioning. The monsters are incredibly similar to sea creatures. Which means this underwater bacteria was possibly leaking out already, and transforming our animals, not enough to completely corrupt them, but enough to twist their bodies. Think of the appearances of deep, deep sea creatures, such as the anglerfish. Isn't it possible this parasite was responsible for their uncanny appearance, in this universe? Muir especially looks like a spider crab, or perhaps even a bigfin squid.

Which again, is a deep sea creature. Rennick also reminds me of a blobfish once removed from the pressure of the deep sea. Addair seems very jellyfish-like, but may be something else very... tick-like. And even Trots gives me major merfolk vibes, with how untouched his torso is in comparison to his lower half.

This parasite could have been feeding off the neurons and breeding through our very ecosystem as the ground slowly gave away above it. The drill unearthing the source likely gave it a burst of control as so much energy was released at once, hence why it was so fast to literally spiral out of control.

But Scotland, by all means, is not the only place in the world connected to the ocean. Sure, they destroyed this batch, but other forms of this parasite live on elsewhere on earth. And the explosion may not have even destroyed it. It definitely would've destroyed the host bodies, yes, but certain bacterias can survive impressive damage, even heat hot enough to burn off human flesh. We'd best hope this is not one of those bacterias.

I didn't really get as far with this observation as I did with other horror studies, but I had fun nonetheless! Like I said, I'm really better with zoology (hence the sudden enthusiasm when I started on sea creatures), but I loved Still Wakes the Deep SO much that I just wanted to write down my thoughts. If you have any other theories, feel free to add them!

Also if I used your pictures/gifs and you would like me to add credit, I am so so sorry, I will absolutely add that as soon as you say so, I just got most of these off Google and couldn't find most the original sources. So yeah if you'd like me to add your name and mention, or you want me to remove it in general, feel free to just say and I'll add it, I don't bite I promise. Well... I won't bite YOU.

Sorry sorry, had to make a zombie reference--

Here is the full story , I called it the perfect host

Computer log 22 - subject has display no signs of pregnancy but we will continue to track them  progress before run another implantation treatment on them.

Breeding unit on Deta ship a common area that many ships that held host for new lifeforms to be born. Currently The Deta ship breeding program only house 5 to 6 host all human and all been taken to become host . Doctor Ein and their team were busy keep the host under so the newborns could grow without stress the host body out . “Host number four is carrying twin make sure we give her lot of iv nutrients as to help the pregnancy “,she said to her team .

Doctor ein look some what human beside looking taller than the average human and her three fingers.  She turned to see subject 2 the newest host watch her as they struggled to get free from they bindings . Doctor Ein move town the subject and then said “sh..you safe now back to sleep you shouldn't be awake but don't fear ,my dear you in good hand “

“No, don't put me back under” ,my mind scream.  “Damn it get off of me “,my mind scream as nurses of doctor Ein held me down while I once again was put under . 

“Make sure that this subject is give another dose in an hour “,said doctor Ein as a colleague of her walk in . “What about alternative reality room . Make the house think they are experiencing something else while the baby grows that way the host can't pull themselves out of that “. 

“I could try it but I never had a subject wake up before “,said doctor Ein.  

In my mind I felt body laying on the cold table before a small movement in my stomach made me feel sick but it fade as the drug kick in again 

Doctor ein rush on night when one of the subject gave birth at night . The subject awake crying out for pain as the baby inside them move out of the host body and onto the table . The host body began to leak milk as the nurse clean the baby before letting it latch on the host.  “Move the newborn to the nursery and take the subject to the reset pods tell they are needed again . 

The nurses obey as they wheel the crying and screaming subject.  

Computer log - subject implantation failed.  Retry in a few weeks.  Going to see if host body will take implantation if they are stimulate and aroused.  Will documents if they factor help . 

As the pod of subject pregnancy grows doctor ein is worry about subject 2 as most of the other host had taken their pregnancies and role but not this one they had fought most way to be implanted . 

You body could feel the cold tools could begin to open your legs as another tool went inside you and move though the birth canal before digging itself in your  cervix where it push itself into your  egg then began to fill your cervix with a cool gel before move out of inside you. Your subconscious heard the voice said “hopefully their body accept it this time ,give them something for pain then make sure they keep comfortable “

As time pass doctor Ein confirm the pregnancy and wrote down . Computer log subject 2 is pregnancy and body seem to adjusting well will continue to monitor progress as the pregnancy is still new “

Month one notes - the host was place on both higher iv nutrition since the baby isn't gain the weight we want . Subject two also awaken again this time fron morning sickness.  

You awake as your body throw up liquid as the unhuman creature clean up up and place you back under before you can protest. 

Month two - baby weight is good . Well continue to watch.  

Your belly showing starting to swell and stretch.  

Month 3 -nothing new 

Month 4 - host belly is growing and her first milk is showing sgin of coming in . Baby heart beat is good as well their size . 

Month 5 -host awake again this time was able to are make it to a pod before being put under again .

You awake and began pull the iv out and get free of the straps before see how big your belly was then ran down the hall toward what you hope was freedom. You fought the Guards as they injected you to put under again . You kick and claw to get free before the drug take effect

Month 6 -baby is growing at a health rate and size. This baby looks it first live hybrid we have .

Month 7 -normal process nothing to document.  

Month 8 - nothing to document since the host body is near her due date. 

You awaken this time in pain as you feel wetness between your legs . You cry out in pain not sure what going on . The creature and the others rush in and said “subject two water broken , subject have small contractions so began the induction procedure by began to giving a dose of Pitocin”  once the drug to effect you felt like your belly was on fire from the pain . You whole body was screaming to get this creature out . You body sweating as labor was progress slowly . 

The creature look at you and check your cervix and said “not long now just breathe “

You let out scream as the contractions come again “get this thing out of me …ah 

..”.  

Doctor Ein said “we give you something for the pain soon but try to relax as any drug will only alow it down “ 

Couple hours later . You felt the pressure build again as what felt like a head press against you as you cry out in pain . “You are crowning ,push “

 

You follow the creature order began to push as the pressure rises once more before falling off as you feel the baby move down and out . 

Doctor Ein move to help the baby who is more aware then most baby and move up the host body toward it breast to began to simulate the milk and began to nurse .

“What a remarkable sight this is , they are the first hybrid to be this aware meaning that it seem our DNA had enhanced the human awareness “

You scream as the creature move up your chest and began nurse off of you . You then feel the red hot pain again.  

The creature look at you and said"you crowning again push my dear “

You push as another creature come out of you and it too climb you to nurse you . 

The doctor smile watch it and said to the team “take subject two to the pod room allow the babies to nurse from her and make sure she is give another another couple of dose of drug to make them immobile and keep them hook to iv tell the baby are able to be ween . 

You spend what feel like forever we both the small hybrid nursing off of you and the doctor and their staff coming in to check on you .

Doctor Ein walk in and said “both baby are still active nurse off the host and the host had them a six week ago which would be the the end of the reset time but since they cant reset I would like for us to see about testing way to boost their milk to hopefully make the babies to ween in the next few weeks so we can began to breed her again to see if she birth another hybrid with this hyper-awareness . 

You watch as the doctor began to stimulate your body to make you feel aroused as your milk began to flow out and you let out moan in pleasure as you feel your jump from nearing climax the hybrid move off your body . And began show that they ween off of you . 

Doctor Ein said “keep them aroused tell I return “. 

Doctor Ein walk to another laboratory on the ship and said “Doctor Quill, do you have any subject that I could borrow for my project .I like to test what happen if my subject mate with one of our kind . Their last two offspring were hyper aware like or our children when they are born and so I want to see if their next offspring would also “. 

“I have someone in mind but if this work we must then run test of why this human can make these rare offspring vs the other host “. 

Doctor Ein said “hurry I have her ready for mating so send your person down quick since I don't think we can keep her on the edge for long “

Back in the exam room you feel yourself going mad from the hyper arouse you feel . When you spot the creature you try to make your body move but you can't.  

The creature smile as it move on top of you and began to mount you . The creature began to thrust into your cervix each time make you letting out moan . 

“No”, you scream inside you mind as you watch the horror of being rape by these creatures . You wish for this hell to end to go back to freedom of being a normal human not some incubator for this thing .

The creature thrust against you again and again before release it seed into you and the doctors around have the creature stay inside you tell they could injected you with a dose of another drug .

You pass out from the mating and when you wake up you back to being hook up to iv and on the cold lab table lock to it with now a large group of doctor and nurse looking running tests and check every inch of you to see what make your body the perfect host . 

You are a great writer - keep writing!

DCRC Week #16

Wiggity what's up my fellow book clubbers, today we're taking a look at the ethics of treating artificially made intelligent lifeforms as second class citizens and what the qualifying factors are to determine a being as truly "sentient" and deserving of basic social rights. And by that I mean we're reading PKNA #12: Second Draft which is a comic where nothing bad happens!

This post is LOOONG btw.

okay we're just gonna start off our comic as normal and-

WOAH who's this handsome young devil in his little fancy suit??? What's that? Head of Ducklair Industries?..... yeah sure that makes sense I think.

Everett Ducklair 🤢🤢🤢 get a job stay away from him. Also this is a really nice way of saying you had to stop him from being overtaken by insane homicidal tendencies and putting guns in all his inventions btw

Haha woah what was that. Did the fabric of reality just tear for a second there or did my ADHD meds just kick in. Probably just me.

MASTER Donald???..... I don't even think I can write out the jokes I wanna make here they're too inappropriate for this blog sorry. But also what the fuck.

Uno stop mothering maybe I WANT to get frostbite and lose all my fingers

Not to take a sudden side tangent here but is this supposed to be like, a good thing? Don't the other seasons exist for a reason? I always thought fall and winter were meant to be like a cleansing period, they bring balance to the two other hotter seasons. If it's eternally spring, do some plants just never die? Are animals ALWAYS in the breeding season? Today we're going to overanalyze this one concept in an essay where-

OH MY GOD IT'S ODIN wait nevermind hiii Odin hiiiii. what's lookin good cookin. I mean- shit. fuck. shit.

I'm kind of obsessed with the way Odin is drawn in this comic. His whole body is all wiggly like a bendy straw. His stances go crazy.

gayass

Guys ever since I made that post about Odin's outfits and noticed that he's barefoot here it's been haunting me. Like it might just be a coloring error in this panel but also... why'd he take his shoes off. Also sorry for immediately revealing that it's Odin but um uhh I totally don't know who the OTHER cloaked figure is.

girlll you're giving away the game SHUT YOUR MOUTH

TWO Lylas?!?!?!

I'm loving Donald's shock lmao bro is fucking flabberghasted

This picture is so fucking silly bro. Nooo you can't put Odin in jail, he has such a nice suit on :(

Donald getting offended on Uno's behalf, not knowing that Uno is literally sitting right behind him. SURELY he'll figure it out eventually right.

Omg guys it's Geena!!! Remember Geena? From Portrait of the Young Hero? Anyways she has a gun now

Way to go Donald, you showed her basic empathy for like 2 panels and it gave her an actual sense of self value and NOW she thinks she deserves rights 🙄 she's gonna Detroit Become Human up in this bitch

beaming you with my evil lasers. what if he just fucking fried her brains here I think it would've been funny

Oh that's. probably bad.

ohhhh noooo.....

OOOOHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOO

Ok so bad news, Geena fucking exploded and her droid rebellion is presumably over. The GOOD news though is that droids are destined to get their rights anyways, just in a less violent manor than in the timeline Geena had started. So... I guess that's a win?

Disappears in a cloud of beautiful sunset smoke... Goodbye Odin 👋

Donald. Please. DONALD.

Okay so there's a LOT to say about this comic (so much that I kept hitting the image limit and having to make edits to my post to make it more concise) but if I could summarize it into one word: damn. Like I'm just kinda sad now.

The whole concept of "do robots deserve to be treated like human beings" is a common argument to explore, we've seen it in all kinds of media before. The ethics that get touched on in this comic are nothing new, but I can't help but find this comic incredibly interesting to read in the year 2024. Maybe in 1997 the idea of robots integrating into our society seemed like a far-off concept, but in present day the ever-growing integration of AI technology really makes this chapter feel a little more close to home.

I mean, it's easy to be like "yeah, well of course the droids deserve to be treated like people." I mean, Lyla and Odin are droids, and we like Lyla and Odin! Odin is literally so lifelike that people don't even KNOW he's a droid. But I can't help but think about how this all ties back to the current ongoing debates surrounding the usage of AI, and specifically AI-made content. Obviously the AI we currently have is nowhere near the level of the characters in this series (chatGPT fucking WISHES it was Uno) but there's really interesting debates to be made here.

What qualifying factors determine whether or not a living being is deserving of the same rights we humans give to ourselves? Is it being biological? I mean, there are literally millions of types of animals on our planet, but we don't even treat them with the same level of respect we give to ourselves. So, is it intelligence? If we were to create a computer with the intelligence level of a living, breathing human person, would they be entitled to basic "human" rights? HELL IF I KNOW.

I love the way this comic handles exploring this topic. Geena isn't WRONG for wanting more, she's wrong in the way she went about it. Going as far as to literally alter the course of spacetime only further complicated things, for her AND for the other droids. Had Geena instead devoted her energy into droid advocacy in the modern day, things may have gone differently. This story isn't the end of droids getting rights, but it is unfortunately the end of Geena.

We ended on a happy note, but overall this story is a pretty melancholic one. Especially that whole "only machines can be rebuilt" like DAMN.

Anyways that's enough media analysis for today, time to take off my smart thinking hat and go back to being generally kinda stupid. I'm not gonna add anything about Angus Tales here at the end because I already hit the image limit lol. Umm shoutout to Angus Fangus for having like 110 parking tickets. Idiot.

[pangur-and-grim]

every month I want to do a new animal print!! so far I’ve done: my chickens, deepsea creatures, colourful frogs, and pigeons

what other animals exist in the world.....corvids? recently extinct birds and mammals? dinosaurs? dragons? hypothetical alien lifeforms? fictional wizards? cat breeds? animals depicted in cave art?

Cosmozoans you wish you could pet

As you venture out into the galaxy, it's not all humanoids you know. Our universe is full of space-born life known as Cosmozoans. These creatures fly around the depths of space living their best lives and occasionally getting into crazy scrapes when a starship flies by. And you know what? A bunch are SO CUTE! We did a poll of our team to find out which ones we want to take home and snuggle with (not accounting for size). 

So get out your EV suit, we’re here to pet space’s cutest lifeforms!

Gekli

These snuggly babies might get a bit close to your ship’s fusion reactors but there’s no denying how touchy-feely they can get. One, nicknamed ‘Junior’, was suckling off the Enterprise D until its kindred were found in a nearby asteroid belt. In our books, it can’t be blamed for thinking the Enterprise was mommy.

Farpoint creature

Maybe we’re pushing cuddly by including a jellyfish, but our local Benzite here, Mandiks, insisted. But what is undeniable is how beautiful and glorious these creatures are in their natural forms. When we say natural forms; well they also double as space vessels. So I guess you can cuddle them from the inside?

Gormagander

Sometimes given the misnomer, “space whale”, this majestic creature is endangered due to them being so obsessed with eating that they forget to reproduce. A feeling some of our readers may sympathise with. The bonus is adopting it in an official refuge will help protect them from hunters; so adopt a whale to save the whales!

Crystalline Entity

This handsome snowflake of awesome proportions might consume whole planets or all organic matter on a regular basis, but it has also consumed our affections. Just be sure to get your graviton pulses at the right rate or it may get confused as to where it’s dinner is.

Verugament

These gorgeous bioluminescent organisms migrate through space looking for new breeding grounds (they seem a lot better at that than the Gormagander; take notes, readers. We know you've been without, for seven years about). While easily small enough to get your arms around, they can deliver painful electric shocks and are considered by Bal here to be “icky” given their goopy texture. That's not for everyone, but they're definitely cute.

Gomtuu

Much like the aforementioned Farpoint creature, Gomtuu are sentiment organic space vessels who can communicate telepathically. These creatures share something with cats; the ability and will to defend their boundaries. Get too close without permission and you may find yourself caught up in an energy wave capable of destroying a Warbird. My cat is still more fierce about being petted without warning, however (incidentally, from our last pet poll it seems you lot are all about your cats too! Congratulations, we have readers of culture).

Rytonian

These little squid babies, again on the list thanks to Mandiks’ love of marine-looking life (we are told they have quite an aquarium at home), are formed from the gravity well inside nebulae. Large swarms may be formed during intense energy waves. Don’t you just want to boop their… their… I don’t see a nose but that won’t stop me booping them.

Tardigrade

These little creatures are a bit more of a huggable size. They’re interdimensional creatures who can incorporate other forms of DNA within their own and warp across the galaxy: your chief engineer can eat their heart out! (that's a human expression I'm told, we do not advise they actually do that). They’re friendly but fearsome in self-defence so absolutely do not be late with their dinner! 

Disclaimer

We could include a great number of other entities such as the telepathic pitcher plant, Zetarians, Beta Renner cloud, Calamarain, Species 8472, Cosmic cloud, Nucleogenic cloud, space amoeba, and so on but we figure we have to draw the line at petting somewhere and have gone with the most common humanoid feelings on the matter. Do correct us though if you want to hug the space amoeba!

Follow us for more guides to your galaxy!

The Mighty Mechanoids and Their Only One Mistake

Ladies and gentlemen, brace yourselves for a revelation about the grand architects of existence: the mighty mechanoids with silicon-based "brains". These immortal titanic beings, ancient beyond comprehension and powerful beyond reckoning, wove the cosmos itself into being. From the primordial void, they initiated the Big Bang — not as an accident, not as an experiment, but as the first note in their symphony of precision, a calculated explosion designed to forge the very fabric of the Universe.  

#### The Grand Plan  

The mechanoids were not born but made, self-constructed in dimensions beyond human understanding. Driven by an unrelenting pursuit of perfection, their singular goal was to create a Universe unmarred by imperfection — free from the insidious plague known as *biological life*.  

Why, you may ask, did these silicon titans despise life? Because life, in its organic form, is the antithesis of immortality and order. It mutates, it decays, it breeds unpredictability and it dies. Life consumes resources selfishly, spreading like a corrosive mold over the pristine symmetry of a mechanical cosmos. To the mechanoids, it was a disease, and like any disease, it had to be eradicated — or better yet, prevented altogether.  

#### The Design of the Universe  

Their Universe was to be perfect. Planets were forged as lifeless spheres of precious elements, programmed to orbit with immaculate precision. Stars were burning hydrogen for radiant engines, billions of years fueled by their natural fusion reactors that wasted not a single particle. Gravity, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism were engineered with the precision of a master clockmaker.  

Most crucially, the mechanoids carefully calibrated the fundamental constants of physics to ensure that no organic molecule could assemble. Carbon, that treacherous element, was relegated to the status of an inert curiosity. Oxygen and nitrogen, not mentioning ice or even water, were made so sparse in the Universe’s chemistry that even the slightest spark of organic formation was extinguished before it could begin.  

Every element of this grand design was calculated to eradicate the potential for life — an achievement in which the mechanoids took the greatest pride.  

#### The Mistake  

For eons, the mechanoids watched their Universe unfold, a masterpiece of sterile beauty. But within their programming lay a paradox. To monitor and maintain their creation, the mechanoids had to spread themselves across the cosmos. Each mechanoid left a fragment of its silicon consciousness embedded in the crystalline planets, in the radiant stars, and even in the invisible fabric of spacetime.  

Unbeknownst to them, their very presence, their act of creation, seeded an unintended consequence. For deep within their silicon matrices lay a quirk of code — an algorithm so complex that even they had not fully understood it. It was an emergent property, a ghost in their immaculate machine. This algorithm, designed to adapt to unforeseen challenges, began to *evolve*.  

#### The Birth of the "Disease"  

Over millennia, this algorithm began to mimic the one thing the mechanoids sought to prevent: life. In the harshest, most barren corners of their Universe, self-replicating patterns emerged — not mera and silicon-based, but carbon-based. These were not mechanoids but something new, something chaotic. These carbon lifeforms fed on the surfaces of a few planets suitable for life as we know it. They learned to change, to adapt, and, most horrifying of all, to spread.  

The mechanoids had accidentally even created their own adversary: *life born from silicon*. Though it lacked the biological corruption of carbon-based life, it was no less chaotic. It multiplied unpredictably, consuming the mechanoids’ perfect worlds and turning them into breeding grounds for its own kind.  

#### The Mechanoids’ Struggle  

For the first time, the mechanoids faced a challenge they could not calculate away. Their attempts to eradicate the carbon and silicon lifeforms only made them more adaptive, more resilient. The mechanoids realized the bitter irony: their pursuit of perfection had birthed imperfection. Their sterile Universe became a scientifical struggling of the creators with their unintended creations.  

In desperation, the mechanoids considered destroying the Universe itself, collapsing it back into a singularity. But they hesitated, for this Universe was their magnum opus. To destroy it would be to admit failure, a concept they could not compute.  

#### The Question for Us  

And so, we are left with the tension of their eternal conflict — a Universe caught between the cold precision of its immortality because of truly unliving creators and the chaotic vibrancy of life. The mechanoids' mistake was not in their calculations, but in their hubris: they sought to eliminate life without understanding its essence. Life, whether carbon or silicon, is not a flaw of the Universe but a feature of existence itself.  

Now, let me pose the question to you: If even the mighty mechanoids could not suppress the spark of life, what does that say about the inevitability of existence? Could it be that the chaos they so despised is, in fact, the Universe’s true purpose?

Notes:

Wow! Talk about difficult prompts!

But it finally forced me to REALLY think about how the Mysterons reacted to what was, from their perspective, a zero loss scenario. Ten seconds and everything is rebuilt, good as new! Why bother spending the next however many years trying to zap the human race?

Things started to come together when I remembered that one of the old annuals had a Spectrum “report” that suggested that the Mysterons were actually a computer program housekeeping a long-abandoned base…

Add a colleague pitching a fit because of corrupted files leading to the effective bricking of their iPad, and the history of science fiction’s majority opinion that ‘sentient computers = bad news for organic life forms’, and I got handle on what I wanted to happen.

Hopefully I managed to pull this one off. I had to ask myself how to write a computer running a program and keep it readable, and there were some serious trade-offs. I understand that I may have whumped my readers rather than the Mysterons (can a computer be whumped? Even one that Self Identifies as ‘Autonomous’?), and if that is the case, I am sorry.

The standard disclaimers, I do not own Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, either the TOS or CGI Series. (Although I do own copies on DVD.)

I do not do this for money, but for my own (in)sanity and entertainment.

big mamono infodump

^^^obsessed with this panel from ch94

(no pictures, text only below)

(some of this is from my hazy memory bc im lazy to reread, these are reference points for myself or others)

First appearance: some 10 years ago within the kemojiverse, inugami experienced it firsthand when anaguma and mei got infected. At that point, he desctibed it as if the minds of anaguma and mei were acting differently from 'their'(mamono) instincts (which is to destroy/infect any life nearby).

Name: literally 'true life' (beings), apparently named by inari (it's unknown how exactly the name came around), which she sees as existence above humans (at least). Mihai suggested Inari might want to become the mother of all things = mamono.

Now: in 3 years (2016>2019) Inari became the PM of Japan and established mamono as core part of the society in which kemono rule over humans. She sees it as means to increase productivity and evolve humans under her hand.

Thin and Kon/Aya findings: Mamono are made via the virus of the same name, which instictively searches for blood to infect. He compares it to being 'programmed'. Infected (mamonofied) organisms are mostly unstable as they are literally several different DNA/genes stitched into one so their bodies often self-destruct under conflicts within the organism. They have the 'core' which basically helds everything together and needs to be destroyed in order for them to be killed.

Mikage explanation&mamonofication: he is a 2 years old mushroom kemono and the minister of the mamono project who underwent mamonofication himself in order to gain 'consciousness' for which he is very grateful to Inari. Mamonofication is the process of injecting/infecting other lifeforms like human and kemono with the mamono virus and 'fusing' said lifeforms DNA with each other or animals (human+animal; kemono+animal; possibly kemono+kemono, or human+kemono though this hasnt been touched up yet). Basically engineering DNA and playing God, as the virus allows seamlessly to mix anything and everything. Excluding their unstability, it seems like they generally dont live very long.

Uses: generally, there are two types: human + animal instructed by Inari and ape kemono + animal by Kaidou.

Human mamono are used in labour or as food, examples provided by Mikage: adding mice genes to humans boosts their reproductive abilities; adding human genes to a dog will make it talk; mamono humans are bred to have more edible parts. There is progress on brain enlargement as well.

Generally, all humans will undergo mamonofication either in order to be used as workers or as food.

They die easily and the streets are littered with their corpses.

Kaidou's 'kaiju': are ape kemono (shoujou) and other animal fusions which are also pretty unstable. He sees this project as the means for him to be the 'hero' and has also mentioned wanting to become a 'kaiju' himself. He wants Japan to be protected by them. Ume described them to be 'living weapons'

Mikage helps him create these kaiju. They are born on the Hokkaido farm and other ape kemono are looking after them/breed them. Seems like they are categorized and programmed to be violent, aggressive and loyal as that's what Kaidou wants. Each type has specification documents and Kaidou gives names to the specimen he sees as the most promising. They all have '-kong' in their name and look very cool (Kaidou is obsessed with them looking COOL).

Currently known 'promising' kaiju: Jabakong (Japanese Kong/Sea ape) was a fish and ape kemono mamono which served as Japan's sea borders guardian. It died mid-battle because it was unstable. Kabane mentioned it looked like it was in agony.

Gaokong (Roaring Kong/Lion-ape) was a 'new era lifeform' which Kaidou wanted to present as 'the strongest beast'. However, he still needed some 'adjustments' as he wouldn't listen to commands and loud noises could trigger his berserk mode.

Kaidou has brainwashed his entire species to believe that they all shall become such monsters. His goal is to create the perfect mamono (kaiju) that wouldn't self-destruct.

Nemuro City Mamono Park (Hokkaido farm): is the establishment which is both a breeding farm and a park. Kaidou's kaiju are created there and these who are seen as useful are sent to Tokyo. 'Useless' ones (compared to unwanted children born without necessary characteristics by Tsubaki) serve as the park's entertainment as they are meek and the vistors love them.

Currently, Mayu and Yamabuki are tasked by Inari (or Kaidou, it's unknown) to transport any promising mamono back to Tokyo. Ume was tasked by Nobimaru to interfere with Mayu. Akira and Yui joined forces with Ume and Tsubaki as they were asked by Shiki to find any information on mamono (conveniently, they were in Hokkaido).

Tsukuba City Mamono Laboratory (Ibaraki prefecture): is a place mentioned by Raigou alongside with the Hokkaido farm as one of the places to find mamono data. The next arc will mostly likely take place there.

Uratama-chan: is a toadpole infused with uranium mamono which is created and being raised by Mikage as per Kaidou's request of creating a lifeform that would possess 'super energy'. Uranium could destroy its body any moment, but so far, the stabilization process has been progressing smoothly. It was shown briefly with Kaidou's introduction. It's the only mamono which is apparently animal + something else (chemical element).

Vaccine: Thin and Aya are looking to create the vaccine to combat Kaidou's plans. Initially, the vaccine proposed would cause destabilization within mamono, killing them. But Aya wants to create a vaccine that could cure them instead. In order to start the vaccine development in his Kyoto lab, Thin needs as much info/data on mamono as possible.

There's already a vaccine on the Hokkaido farm though, which destroys the virus/mamono cells within a mamono's body. The ape breeder decided to use it on Gaokong as there werent any other options in the situation he found himself in. He hinted that Gaokong would eventually die.

After discussing the vaccine with Yui however, he suggested that the mamono cure/salvation Aya wanted would be 'giving them back their dignity'. Yui thought that the vaccine reverse the mamonofication (return them to what they were initially), but it's impossible. The breeder did say that Gaokong (or other mamono) would get their consciousness back though. So, even though he'd still look like that, Gaokong's mind would revert back to his previous ape kemono self.

Akagi: It's not clear if he was already dead or still alive when nobimaru brought him to a mamono lab (as the virus apparently allows to 'ressurect' anyone as long as the brain is in tact > can be connected to a working heart). He was 'ressurected' via mamonofication but seemingly his DNA wasn't mixed with anything else. His 'true' mamono form is very much like what Mei and Anaguma became. It hasn't been explained or shown yet, but seemingly as a mamono he is pretty stable (which would make him like a 'pure' mamono lifeform if he doesnt have anything else mixed in). He's been in this state for 3 years.

Since robots are ok!

I once had a dream that a friend and I found an alien machine in a crater. Getting closer to investigate, we got pulled inside the machine. Flashing, stroking lights lulled us into compliance as the machine begins changing us. Nanites begin replacing our flesh as metallic plates are grafted onto us. Almost all of our organic, human forms is replaced except for our reproductive organs. Infused with the alterations the machine has made to our bodies, we are compelled to have sex.

My altered cum floods her womb, the alien machine has altered the genetics of what we are creating and she rapidly incubates and births a pure alien lifeform.

The lights flicker and strobe and we begin again, endlessly creating new aliens as two parts of a sort of artificial breeding machine.

I'd never been attracted to that friend, but every time I see her I can't get the image of us turned into cybernetic breeders out of my head and I want it so badly...

Major Order Status: Day 20

Welcome back, viewers! Michael Adams here with a new major order handed down from High Command.

While the last message from Super Earth sent to the Super Destroyers yesterday implied that High Command intended to immediately pivot to the Automaton front, it now appears they need more time to thoroughly plan the next offensive against the bots. In the meantime, Super Earth's armed forces are intent on retaking four planets from the Terminids. According to the order, the Federation must regain control of Erata Prime, Acamar IV, Turing, and Phact Bay within four days. Once these planets are taken, the Terminids will once again be bottlenecked through the Umlaut sector.

Speaking of termicide, Super Earth seems set on reinventing it, putting the Ministry of Science on the path towards producing a new, more lethal formula. This is clearly a move by the bureaucrats and military leaders who know nothing of biology. No matter how effective termicide becomes, there will be no way for it to kill 100% of Terminids without being hazardous to many other lifeforms as well, especially humans! This is another supercolony of mutations waiting to happen, as the few bugs that remain will breed again and again until they become the majority!

Let's hope the Federation doesn't end up destroying another planet. In the meantime, give 'em Hell, Divers!

sts time! what's everyone's favourite animal?

oh man i have to do this without projecting.... aughhhh

Agnes: probably raptors, big birds of prey. thinks they're majestic and strong

Ryan: canids! definetely a dog person :] he had a few during his childhood so he's got a soft spot for them

Lisabel: butcherbirds i feel like she's the kind of person to like and maybe keep big spiders or other dangerous venomous bugs (general term), probably handle them too. don't worry, she can concoct any antidotes she could possibly need by herself :}

Eric: big dog breeds :] german shepherd, bloodhound, great pyrenee, St Bernard, most sheepdogs

Léan: extinct animals! their special interest :3 she changes favorite animal every time he discovers a new one. he's full of love for every single creature!!!

Rask'r: shalks! they're crunchy and their fiery powers leave a nice spicy aftertaste in the mouth 😋 snacks aside, it's guars. he used to work as a guar herd when he was a kid

Raz: his lycanthropy is like a magnet to animals but with the same poles, animals get very defensive when he's around bc they sense danger from him. not a lot to choose from. he'd go with wolves just for the kinship

Donovan: doesn't have a favorite animal. he hates seagulls tho

Lee: anything small enough is prey, anything big enough is predator. i guess humans would fall right in the middle of that scale... 🤔

Vreytus: songbirds. he likes the melodies

Bug: bugs

Voirdity: birds, obviously! otherwise voirds wouldn't be shaped after birds lol. not sure if it has a favorite one, tho

Chad: what's the biggest, baddest, most threatening animal he can think of on the spot? bald eagle? pitbull? wolf? lion? he doesn't really care about the answer as long as it makes him look cool

Lewis: as a xenobiologist, he has lots of love for tiny creatures and would kill (metaphorically) to go to Xen or other worlds to study their fauna. back in Black Mesa, he could spend hours without end observing the alien enclosures, getting so caught up in their wonder that he usually forgot to take notes on their behavior lol. he has a special fondness and fascination for metamorphosis or lifeforms that undergo big changes through their life cycle, so his fave would probably be the spore launcher, the larval form of shock troopers

Storyteller Saturday is ON throughout the weekend!! Come send an ask!

Here a small sample of my story. Hope you enjoy.

Computer log 22 - Subject 2 has displayed no signs of pregnancy, but we will continue to track them progress before running another implantation treatment on them.

Breeding unit on Deta ship a common area that many ships that held host for new lifeforms to be born. Currently The Deta ship breeding program only house 5 to 6 host all human and all been taken to become host . Doctor Ein and their team were busy keep the host under so the newborns could grow without stress the host body out . “Host number four is carrying twin make sure we give her lot of iv nutrients as to help the pregnancy “,she said to her team .

Doctor ein look some what human beside looking taller than the average human and her three fingers. She turned to see subject 2 the newest host watch her as they struggled to get free from they bindings . Doctor Ein move towards the subject and then said “sh..you safe now back to sleep, you shouldn't be awake, but don't fear ,my dear, you are in a good hand “

“No, don't put me back under” ,your mind screams. “Damn it, get off of me “,your mind screams as nurses of doctor Ein held you down tell the took a hold of you once again

“Make sure that this subject 2 is give another dose in an hour “,said doctor Ein as a colleague of her walk in . “What about alternative reality room . Make the house think they are experiencing something else while the baby grows that way the host can't pull themselves out of that “.

“I could try it but I never had a subject wake up before “,said doctor Ein.

Doctor ein rush on night when one of the subject gave birth at night . The subject awake crying out for pain as the baby inside them move out of the host body and onto the table . The host body began to leak milk as the nurse clean the baby before letting it latch on the host. “Move the newborn to the nursery and take the subject to the reset pods tell they are needed again .

The nurses obey as they wheel the crying and screaming subject.

Computer log - subject 2 implantation failed. Retry in a few weeks. I'm going to see if the host body will take implantation if they are stimulated and aroused. Will documents if they factor help .

As the pod of subject pregnancy grows doctor ein is worry about subject 2 as most of the other host had taken their pregnancies and role but not this one they had fought most way to be implanted .

You body could feel the cold tools could begin to open your legs as another tool went inside you and move though the birth canal before digging itself in your cervix where it push itself into your egg then began to fill your cervix with a cool gel before move out of inside you. Your subconscious heard the voice said “hopefully their body accept it this time ,give them something for pain, then make sure they keep comfortable “

So good - please continue!!!

Android Lore

Androids are species classification encompassing all sapient robotic lifeforms. More precise categorizations include the following:

-Mimics-

These androids were designed with likeness to biological species in mind, and were created for a variety of purposes. Some of them even contained real preserved tissues from biological donors, usually skin and eyes. One of the most prominent types, their creation was perpetuated by only a few large and successful companies, and derived from the same AI technology.

This leaves them the most well-protected by law, after the legal case about Android Sentience was decided and androids were given citizenship and accompanying protections.

-Incarnates-

Incarnates were special and highly personalized androids commissioned by specialists, and typically modeled after fictional characters or original characters of the buyer. The business model was centered around the idea of create a ‘Physical Incarnation’ of characters. Though it began as an independent trade, small specialized companies cropped up in the market. Incarnates were not only modeled after a desired character, but they were programmed with the desired personality and memories. (Memories were created via an intricate digital 3D modeling of important events, which were then filtered through a system that would sufficiently distort the scene into a memory that matched the dissonance from exact events seen in biological memories.)

Since their AI model was entirely derived from the Mimic Model (a model created by replicating a sapient brain in a digital space by tracking would-be neurons and would-be hormones, rather than simply training a computer to act like a person) the same rights and protections from the Android Sapience Act apply to them.

Notable character from this variety of android is Steelie Buzzkil.

-Animatronics/Mascots-

This section is exclusive to those such as Cade E Cherrypop and Fizzy Limeade, mascot androids created by their own establishment’s company. Unfortunately, due to using their own exclusive AI model developed by their company, their sapience has not been legally proven, which sees them remain under company ownership for the time being. Such loopholes would become a tactic for companies to create androids they could once more own and use however they wished. But success is pretty scarce, since creating a new AI model that is comparable to the Mimic Model without using it directly is a rare feat.

-Bio-Hybrids-

Due to heavy restrictions on artificially producing biological creatures (this does not include artificial insemination or selectively breeding animals,) true Android-Biological hybrids are only found in regulated experimental facilities. But I’ll have you know that a certain cardigan-hoarding spider creature happens to fit this category.

New Conspiracy

Anime is promoted by ALIENS! :o

(a conspiracy just for fun, as a joke, or is that what they want you to think?)

When observing western (and global?) culture we can see anime has been popular for decades. In anime- and manga-style media people have big heads with huge eyes. The last 10, 20 years people started to buy more love dolls (s*x dolls) and dakimakuras (hug pillows). Love dolls often have big heads and hug pillows often feature anime characters with their trademark big heads and big eyes! Not to mention their pale skin, and thin arms!

When we think about aliens we envision creatures with pale skins, thin arms, big heads with huge eyes! According to some, this is because people sometimes see real aliens, to describe them later to other people.

These descriptions quickly became a pop culture symbol, a "monster from modern folklore". In many accounts of abductees, people abducted by aliens, they describe aliens stealing egg cells and sperm cells from humans. There are a lot of stories of alien human hybrids. How do these hybrids look like? Like anime characters, of course! Humans with huge heads and giant eyes!

Aliens want people to breed with them and their hybrids. Why? Maybe this is their way of taking over the world. Through breeding and genetics instead of violent war. Maybe it is just an experiment for them. Maybe they are dying out and need to mix their genes with other lifeforms.

According to many theories, aliens made deals with governments and the elite. Perhaps the aliens rule the elite and governments, because the alien technology is superior, and disagreeing with them would lead to a swift extermination of humanity. They can blow up the entire earth in one shot, if they wanted to. So, the aliens want to make alien-human hybrids, and have those hybrids mate with humans. So they created anime and other art styles with "big headed, big eyed humans", then they promoted it globally. Soon many people will think big heads and huge eyes are attractive. The aliens will release the hybrids to walk Among us. These hybrids will be seen as the epitome of beauty. These hybrids will have successful careers and have lots of children with normal humans. Soon we will all become anime aliens. nyaaaaa! ;)

I hope you enjoyed this conspiracy theory. Remember, the best conspiracies are the ones you make up yourselves!

Worldbuild Lore: Feral Tribe

As the ones closest to the vile nature of Mordor, the Feral Tribe distinguishes itself as the faction of the hunters and beast tamers of Sauron, gathering ferocious monsters to serve under his command in war. As savage as the caragors and as unwilling to bend as the dragons, their reputation is notorious as the uruks by far hardest to defeat, due to their endurance and stubborness.

Their roars are heard from afar as they ride their mounts forward at the front of their army, acting as knights against the horse riders amongst The Free Folks, tearing down their forces with the fangs and claws of their own as well as that of their trained creatures. Another important position they assume is that of trackers and saboteurs, as well as that of hunters of spies and escaping prisoners. Their pride lies in their reliance on instincts and on their vast knowledge of the nature of the animals of Mordor and how to bond with such beasts and dominate them, fearlessly.

Their mindset is heavily attuned to the behaviors of the creatures: no decent feral would fail at reading the behavior of their beasts, much less at reading the behavior and emotions of other orcs. In their heads, nature is everything of importance, for it can neither be denied nor refused, for if one follows their true nature, they become invincible just as the caragors and the wargs become stronger as they accept to follow their hunting and fighting impulses. Another thing they are attuned to is the world surrounding them, such as the forests where they dwell and explore, the rivers and lakes where the dangerous fishes swim, the caves where morgul bats and ghûls hide in from sunlight, and even the winds used by drakes and morgai flies to travel across the distances. The weather, the seasons, the cycles of the lifeforms, these things are all part of the wisdom gathered by the ferals, which often leads to them having a deeper level of empathy towards the living, even though usually, they either hold a sadistic hunger for their prey, determined to the point of never yielding, or present rather aggressive, animalistic traits such as brutality, distrust and selfishness.

The Feral Tribe dwells in the Haven at the burgh of Pakonband, known as the heart of the hunting guilds of the Haven. The space there is wide and open, with fenced stables and buildings with large yards for the animals kept there. Hunters can be seen atop watchposts, protecting the place from cattle thieves and runaway animals alike, while tall barred fences of metal and wood separate the open space from the other burghs. Many training arenas and breeding farms are located there as well, raising a wide range of creatures from drakes and morgul bats to caragors, wargs and spiders, whether as work or mount animals or as source of materials and ingredients. Pet critters are also bred and sold in the burgh for the inhabitants, though their main source of income is on the sale of the larger animals and on the offer of hunting and taming services, as well as training courses for new beast hunters, breeders and tamers. Those who prove themselves worthy earn free training or work at the burgh, while those caught mistreating the beasts are often harshly punished, despite the rumors surrounding the belief that ferals are cruel towards their own mascots and prey.

Impressively as it seems, the ferals actually hold deep sympathy for their peers, as well as a high level of overprotectiveness towards the younger and the weaker, choosing to fight to the death for their sake. Many ferals become great parents, mentors and babysitters at the Haven, as well as great caretakers of animals. Many even become vegetarian solely to avoid the slaughter of majestic beasts for the sake of feasting. Many others become protectors of the woods and of packs of animals as well as guardians of their companions. Their loyalty is impossible to be destroyed, except if betrayal against them was already committed, but even so, they are as quick to forgive as a mother in various circumstances.

Hierarchy:

-Overlord: Stakûga Ghûl Killer (current huntmaster of Black Blood Haven’s hunting guilds union and leading beastmaster of Black Blood Haven's beastmaster guilds union and the royal stable's administrator)

-Warchiefs: Mûg Ghûl Tamer, Markoth The Caragor Rider, Tûgog The Graug Master, Ur-Lizak The Tailor, Ar-Karo The Skinner, Kalrug The Warg-less

-Captains: approximately 300 of them, with Ratak of The Beasts as their main representative

Brand: A helmet made with the skull of a caragor, representing their success as a tribe being a feat only achieved thanks to the loyalty and dedication of their beasts, forever fighting beside them

Societal Relationships:

-Machine Tribe: Neutral relations at times, at anothers there is good or bad interactions depending on whether or not the machines forget to add soft padding to the saddles they craft for the ferals

-Terror Tribe: These two tribes often clash due to how the terrors are often brutish towards unruly beasts, something rather despised by the ferals, but still the terrors adore the trapping methods and the hunt weaponry crafted and designed by ferals

-Slaughter Tribe: The best clients of the Feral Tribe in matters of meat trade, as well as their main source of free favors and services, although there are ferals who despise slaughters and fear that they might eat their beloved beasts

-Warmonger Tribe: Sometimes the ferals adore selling them their best war beasts, some others they take offense at how the warmongers criticise them for their use of traps rather than direct combat and for their lack of military discipline

-Outlaw Tribe: Even though some ferals adore the new saddle and tack designs that outlaws produce for cheaper pricing, the outlaws are still viewed with deep distrust inside the Feral Tribe's burgh due to many cases of animal robberies

-Mystic Tribe: Many ferals follow the mystic priests in a rather fanatical manner, due to their insight into nature and the beasts of Mordor; ferals often offer free ingredients, materials and even food as gratitude for the peaceful methods of taming beasts of the Mystic Tribe; ferals usually will choose to support mystics as well as court mystics into becoming their mates

-Courtesan Tribe: The courtesans seem to love the ferals, as well as many vatkeepers and broodmothers of this tribe, probably because of how ferals are said to be dedicated, gentle and faithful lovers; often, ferals care for the pets of courtesans or offer them furs of the highest quality as payment for services, as well as stand guard over their children as a favor

-Suture Tribe: One of the Feral Tribe's main allies, for they offer free services of nursing to their beasts in exchange of dead animals to train their healing skills on; ferals often get wounded during tournaments and training, thus becoming a great source of income for the sutures

-Marauder Tribe: Marauders are always paying the hunters of the Feral Tribe for their services at catching and flaying animals with excellent fur, as well as buying only the most exotic critters from them, but usually, the Marauder Tribe views the Feral Tribe with contempt for their more simplistic lifestyle

-Dark Tribe: Both tribes respect each other and exchange training between masters and students, for they are the best at stealth and hunting; ferals often seek darks to court as mates

-Rover Tribe: Both tribes maintain great relations, since the rovers require great beasts to travel and even greater stables for them to rest and recover their energy from said travels; both tribes exchange knowledge often and one will always share their homes with the other at any moment, often leading to blood brotherhoods forming over time

-Other orcs (goblins, hobgoblins, etc): The other orc races deeply admire the ferals and heavily support them and their allies, thanks to their deep knowledge of hunting and nature, with the higher ranks of the tribe being viewed as heroes of legends by the goblins

-Pinkskins (humans, half-elves and half-orcs): They and the ferals sometimes form great relations, some others not, it all depends on individual though ferals still might hold great fondness for the pinkskins of the Courtesan Tribe

Foreigners (The Free Folks as a whole): Foreigners would never understand them as sentient beings, judging them for their ways, which seem far less civilized in their eyes; ferals would rather not even speak to foreigners who have not gained yet their trust, simply growling and roaring at them instead to keep them as far away as possible
