My brain works faster than my hands bear with me so Imagine if Julian made a fort and for whatever reason (we know the reason) shows garak and garak for an understandable reason for not understanding most human tendencies (thereâs a cat in human brains that demand we make hidey holes) misinterprets it as a nest like the thing for your mate or eggs like Julian is finally asking him
Cue to garak standing awkwardly watching Julian excitedly making the fort bigger (if you want your sorta kinda lizard boyfriend to come into your cool super tent you must make it big and have him sit next to the door way) to fit both of them while gesturing for him to come in and help like this isnât going to build its self
Garak: ââŠyouâre what?..â
Julian: âmy fort! look at my cool fort I built ! Garak itâs so cool you gotta come in hereâ
Julian shoves more snacks in the fort along with a light to see and small fan so it doesnât get too hot and takes garaks hand before he can protest. (itâs gonna get hot) he takes a deep breath remembers forgets and then garak is surprisingly much warmer and comfortable in the nest so he lets the doctor pull him in away from the biting cold of the space station and itâs just them sitting in the nest away from everything,âŠusually being holed up makes him feel tight but with Julian itâs better.
Julian: âso what do you think? You like ? Not as good as the ones I used to make when I was a child you see but still goodâ
He fidgets with kukalaka on his lap and turning on the flashlight standing it upright on a pile of blankets to be able to see better. Before opening up the bag of popcorn he gives it a good shake to equally distribute the butter and opening it up.
(Nyhehehe i stop here until I get more I will eat chocolate to give me answers)

I feel like any aliens that were prey at some point in evolution would have an odd fear of humans. Mostly cause they look like predators, act a bit like predators, and ARE predators. One perfect example is when we're focused on something like a mosquito that's been bugging us for a long time and we are just done.
Alien: "What. What..?"
Human: *HUNTING down a mosquito it saw*
Alien: ".... yeah I am really uncomfortable...."
Human: *quiet footsteps, pupils dialated, intense focus,*
Alien: *WAR FLASHBACKS*
Human: "Found you." *absolutely desimates the mosquito, squashing it into a million pieces as it's guts and various body parts liquidize into blood of the bloodthirsty, now stained on the palm of the human. A living being now reduced to a useless corpse as the human wipes the remains on their pants*
Alien: "I feel like I've just gained trauma."

Humans entering space and realizing we are so small. We are mice compared to these giant races with their advanced machinery and technologies and experiences beyond us- except that we're humans. And our engineers dive into the new tech and once we learn the principles we also soon realize how Inefficient everything is. Their "microchips" are the size of cars, their storage drives are basically buildings, and they somehow store less data than ours. So, human companies take advantage, and tech starts rolling out. Massive and there's a lot of wasted space so that it can be managed with larger hands/pincers/claws/tentacles, but also so much more efficient than anything the galaxy has seen before.
Human technicians start hopping ships and upkeeping the general maintenance, the stuff that most aliens put off or don't notice because they never access the crevices of their ships. As human companies become more popular and lead the tech world in everything from warp cores to game stations ("it's so compact! How are the graphics so good?" Says a 60' tall grimbleback, holding a new VR headset that has all of its components included because it's so BIG by our tech standards), soon many things have accessibility ports for humans to be able to use as well. This means that these shiprats hoping ship to ship cause such a huge improvement in everything running smoothly, and there's a huge downtick in pests on ships because those "pests" are not only big enough and aggressive enough to bite a pitbull or a person in half, they're invasive to so many planets and humans hate nothing more than dog killing planet overrunning monsters.
All the while, from the Aliens perspective, humans are an elusive race that don't fraternize much with them. You almost never see a human as most places aren't exactly safe for the little things to run around in. They do export so much stuff though, and the custodial staff at the Central Galactic Outpost insists that there's more humans around than any other race if you just know where to look.
And sure it's somewhat known that some of the little daredevils hop ships and help out in exchange for room and board, usually without permission, but that can't be that common, can it?
Maybe your ship is running better this cycle ever since you stopped at the last station, that just means that tuneup was better than you thought. And maybe for some reason that program you were working on last night is finished when you wake up, but you're so tired maybe you finished it before you passed out. Somehow that faulty light in the galley has fixed itself as well, which is odd, but maybe the Engineer finally got to it. You'd know if there was someone else on your ship.
Right?
... You leave a little bowl of berries out as a thank you, just in case. You're not sure what humans like but you've heard they have a sweet tooth.

I just love the "they're more scared of you than you are of them" thing because, yeah, Earth is a Deathworld filled with very dangerous beings, but also everyone in it is scared and would rather not interact with each other unless necessary
Alien: This is a very dangerous animal!
Human: Don't worry, we'll just walk away.
Alien: But it's watching us!
Human: It's hoping we leave already, so we're leaving.
Alien: It... It is?
Human: Yeah, it is more scared of us than we are of it. Let's go before the fight instinct kicks in because then it'll become a dangerous animal
Alien:...

Humans are Space Orcs story where humans are known for our storytelling and acting abilities. While these talents are somewhat respected, thereâs a major stigma against humans because weâre also the best liars.
âHumans donât actually feel anything at all, they just mimic emotions to trick others into believing themâ
âNever trust a human. They lie like the rest of us breathâ
âHumans spend so much of their lives acting, itâs impossible to tell when theyâre being truthfulâ
âIn human culture, great respect is awarded to âactorsâ who are able to mimic other persons and emotions with startling accuracyâ
âSome âactorsâ are able to âperformâ hundreds of unique charactersâ
âActing is so ubiquitous in the human culture that many consider it polite to lieâ
âSarcasm is a common, casual game played between humans, where one human says something untrue and the other human must guess what truth they are thinking. Humans unable to perform this ritual are often ostracized by their peersâ
âIf you see a human crying, do not immediately assume they are hurt. Humans have been known to use their âactingâ abilities to trick unsuspecting travelers into giving up an unreasonable number of belongingsâ
âAll interstellar travelers are required to read up on popular âscamsâ or âconsâ performed by humans in the region they are traveling toâ
#shade speaks#humans are space orcs#humans are deathworlders#humans are space oddities#this is like the opposite of âhumans are space faeâ#because weâre good at lying but everyone else is shit/literally cannot

Deathworlders everywhere but in Space
This is sitting in my brain because I haven't seen anyone else do this, but take a second to think about this: There are other deathworlders in space, terrifying ones, huge monster orc things. They are massive and nightmarish and impossibly strong. So thats why humans stand out. Thats how we survive. Human's are terrifying because we aren't built for one biome, one climate or even one planet. We aren't necessarily the strongest or fastest or scariest looking, but we're built to survive fucking everything. What if other deathworlder's are almost always only made to survive in one climate? (similar to some of the most deadly predators on earth currently) All the other deathworlders are terrifying, yes, but the second they step off their planet they're weak. Massive aliens of hulking muscle but their planet's gravity is a lot lower than the standard, so they barely meet the average strength bar whenever they go outside their gravity zone. Aliens that have venomous spikes all over their body and look gnarly as shit but their venom has practically no effect on 99% of discovered intergalactic species. Deathworlders whose planet is the nether from minecraft IRl, but they can't survive in any other temperature for any amount of time because their body just can't handle the cold and regulate their temperate (or, vice versa for tundra species). Aquatic species that are kraken-like nightmares, giant sirens and deadly squid-like beings. But they can't leave their home at all, because theres a very specific chemical makeup of their water that isn't currently found within their life-span distance travel. Deathworlders that genuinely can barely survive off planet and are frail compared to even the most docile prey species whenever they have to travel. Their called deathworlders because going to their planet is certain death, but if they leave they'll be meeting death just as quickly. And then along come humans, and everyones like, oh, another deathworlder, nothing to worry abou- wait. These guys dont seem to loose any of their natural strength off planet... and their fast and strong... and- AND THEY CAN SURVIVE IN PRACTICALLY ANY CLIMATE IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE??? HELLO? Oh and of course their predators. Of course most of their planet is completely uninhabitable for most of us. Mhm, yep. thats fair. Totally Basically, deathworlders are a thing, the more common 'terrifying alien monster' type, but their harmless because they can't survive like everyone else. They can't thrive like humans can. It scares the shit out of everyone for a wholeeeeee while, after all, no one ever expected a deathworlder that doesn't die.

So, something I learnt the other day. So, you know how dinosaurs supposedly can't see you if you stand still? Well that myth is based on real-life lizards/etc and how eyes in general work. So, once my dad starts infodumping, here comes some other cool information. We, humans, can in fact, also not see something unless it's moving. We fixed this by having our eyes constantly shake. And then our brain compensates for us, so we don't have to have shaky vision.
What if aliens don't have this? Like. What if they find out when one of us was looking at something in the distance, and they walk around this thing that's in front of them, and the alien is confused so they bob their head and oh, there's a thing there, but how did the human know that, and then we explain and they're like, horrified.
Humans are apex predators. They can hunt in packs. They can hunt in pairs. They can hunt on their own. They're persistance predators, which is unheard of. They get stronger when they're mad or scared. They have this thing called 'body language' which acts like a type of hivemind, even if they'll claim it isn't. And. They can see you. When you're not moving. They can still see you. If you ever find yourself in a fight against a human, for whatever reason? Run. Run as fast as you can. And hope, pray if you have a religion, that they won't follow.

Humans are weird
Have yall noticed how we somehow have strange aversions towards lights?? Like maybe not all of us, but we kind of know that if someone is sitting in the dark, you either leave them or join them. Like last night, I walked into class and there was just one guy there and the lights were off so i just sat down, 30 minutes later everyone else was in and the lights were still off. Only turned it on when the professor came in...
So like imagine aliens finding us huddled in a dark room, with our phones and what-nots, silently laughing at something we read, maybe there are other aliens with us who doesnât really like light but we don't know that cus it's dark and also we didn't bother to check. Then one crewmate just turns on the lights and we all collectively hiss like a vampire or hide like bugs, so they just turn it back off and stumble blindly into the room until they findâfeel through whatever they came for and leaves. No one ever mentions it.

Humans are space oddities: risk taking
Alien: the shipâs broken Prak, human, and the newest addition on board: so, are you going to fix it? Alien: Iâd die in space! Are you crazy? Prak: ??? so would i, just put on a space suit? Alien: You mean that bag with only 16 layers between you and an environment thatâd kill you?? Letâs just wait till we reach the next solar system. Itâs only a week. Prak: no way, something could happen. Iâll just go out now. [goes out and fixes it] Alien: ???? Alien [writing in notebook]: humans do not fear the cold embrace of death. Prak [writing in notebook]: my crewmates are wimps.
Edit: for clarification, this alien is generalizing based off their experience with one human! Prak is both dumb and dislikes tasks being unfinished. My other humans, the ones not trained as astronauts (which prak isnât either either lol) would not go out with only 16 layers separating them from the void of space

Prompt 334
So. Danny has discovered he might erm, might be technically a necromancer. At least as far as magic is concerned. Like even if itâs just via resurrecting himself the magic side of things (god, heâs more scientist- sided dangit) count it as such.Â
Which means that half the time someone tries to summon a necromancing-esque being, heâs the one who gets tugged if heâs even a centimeter within range. It was annoying enough in high school, itâs no less annoying in this world theyâve all moved to.Â
On the bright side, thanks to also being half dead himself, the summonings and other rituals canât actually drag him somewhere. It just causes him to feel like someone was crushing a lung or two, which honestly nothing new. (Gosh were those days of vigilante work really that violent? Huh, guess they were)
What he wasnât expecting was for a tiny child, a living child, to track him down despite him not existing legally or anything similar in this world, to revive their previous local child vigilante. Which like, hey, first of all, he has a few questions? Just a couple and yeah sure, heâll shake on it- can he have your name first there kidâŠ?Â
Tim, on the other hand, is getting a little concerned when he realizes a lot of the questions the probable-fae keeps asking are in line with the stuff CPS asks. (Unknown to him, that is exactly where Danny is getting several of his questions about this scrawny vigilante kid. Erm. He might have to take the kid, for like, his own safety- hey Frostbite he needs your help he has some questions-)Â
#Prompts#DCxDP#DPxDC#Tim: Iâm not getting adopted#Danny already setting up another room in his Lair connected to an apartment door:#Danny to Jordan & Ellie & Jazz: You might be aunts/uncle soon a tiny vigilante child tracked me down#Danny: Tucker I need assistance in the digital sense not the reality bending sense BUT-#âSam I need your entire list of foods & humanely dispatched meat products I might be acquiring a child soonâ#Tim (later): In avoiding getting adopted by my associate Batman I may have gotten adopted by a necromancing space fae#Danny is not ghost king#Itâs not said outright but it can be Eternal Trio#The three of them are vibing in this other world after graduating college#And decided where they want to go next

How The Nocturnal Bottleneck and Nipples Make Us Human
Almost every post here considers what humans do have, really. Itâs a little tiring; realistically every world has its harsh environments and vicious species and a sophont to match. We probably wouldnât be unique for our adaptability or our persistence or even adrenaline
But our evolution is fucked up as hell, to put it lightly.
Mammals went through whatâs been dubbed the nocturnal bottleneck essentially since the start of the mesozoic right up until the Cretaceous ended the archosaurâs exclusive hold over the daylight. We lost a lot of things from every mammal spending most of its time in either a cramped, suffocating burrow or scrounging around in the faint hours of nighttime. Our blood cells lost their nuclei to hold more oxygen while we spent time deep underground, we lost protections against ultraviolet rays in our skin and eyes, we canât even repair our own DNA using the light of the sun. Most aliens probably wouldnât have such traits unless their evolution followed a very similar path to ours. Theyâd be able to see ultraviolet and wouldnât have to worry about sunburn and all the wonderful privileges essentially all fish, birds, amphibians, and reptiles enjoy as we speak.Â
Thereâs also what we gained from spending so much time in the dark.
Brown fat is only found in mammals, itâs a special type of fat which bear cells with several oil droplets and are utterly jammed with mitochondria. This lets it make heat, a lot of it, fast. We donât even need to shiver to induce this heat generation from brown adipose tissue - factor in our downright hyperactive mitochondria, and we can warm up quickly. Sure, it doesnât have too much use in adult humans, but it keeps our infants warm and still provides a little boost the whole run we have in this universe.
Unless aliens also went through a time where their small ancestors had to face cold nights, theyâd have to produce heat the old fashioned way when chilled. Aliens might have to shiver the whole time theyâre in a cold room while the human watches in confusion, quite literally unshaken, and wonders if the room is a lot colder than the thermostat set to 60 says. The aliens stare at their companion in confusion, itâs just a normal temperature to shiver at after all, how is the human sitting so still?
Our small ancestors spending all their time out foraging at night is also why we have such a good sense of touch, smell, and hearing. They were more important senses than vision (weâre lucky to have even redeveloped basic color vision, frankly) at the time and place and simply ended up continuing to serve us well. Birds and reptiles rarely have acute senses of smell and the latter especially are lucky to have acute hearing, and birds rarely have impeccable hearing themselves either. Our skin is free of scales and honed to sensitivity, and our external ears and complicated ear bones provide an immense range of hearing (from 20 all the way to 17,000 hertz!).
Aliens might not be able to pin down the chirp of a cricket or the light click of a lock being picked. The human might be the only one on board a ship that can pick out the finer sounds of the engineâs constant thrum and know the critical difference between when everything is fine and when something is wrong. The human could probably pick out the sounds of an approaching enemyâs careless footsteps - theyâre only as light enough for *them* to stop hearing them, after all - and be the one to see the horrified expression (well, more on that later) on their face when we get the drop on them in spite of their perceived stealth.Â
But perhaps the most versatile, convoluted, amazing, and utterly unique trait we have is right on your face this instant. Lips.
Lips in most animals are a simple seal to hold in the mouthâs moisture and protect the teeth, even if theyâre supple theyâre NEVER muscular except in mammals, and we have only one thing to thank for it; milk and nipples. Lips evolved exclusively to allow babies to suckle, it required a vacuum to be created in the mouth, and with no other animal having anything like a nipple it never happened in other animals. Many animals make milk, to be frank, but no other animal has nipples.
Your cheeks and lips are a marvel among tetrapods, no other animal can suck like mammals can. Aliens wouldnât have straws or even be able to sip from the edge of a glass, theyâd have to have a proboscis or simply tilt the whole thing back. Aliens likely wonât have woodwind instruments or balloons you can blow into. We take so much about our lips for granted. Hell, our muscular faces are vital for expressions, weâre probably absolute facial contortionists among a cast of creatures with mandibles and beaks and expressionless scaly maws. Aliens might find us ridiculously easy to read, if anything, compared to their own kind (all the better to deceive them) - or perhaps theyâd find us hard to decipher anyways, with our lack of color-changing skin or erectable crests of bright feathers. Baring teeth might not be seen as a sign of aggression in most of the universe, smiling would be all too distinctly human.Â
Perhaps with how infectious we are sometimes, thatâs what weâd contribute to the universe; others might have to make do with opening their mouths just enough to show their teeth or splaying their innumerable mouthparts with just the right curve, but perhaps weâd teach the galaxy to smile, one ally at a time.Â
Wouldnât that be amazing?
#humans are space fae#humans are space orcs#humans are weird#humans are strange#Iâm seeing a lot of people in these tags just kind of disregard the nature of life and the universe#Unfortunately there probably arenât mediterranean worlds without desert ânor tundra and life easy enough that losing a limb#wasnât considered evolutionarily advantageous to be able to survive.#There will be wolves and tigers and bears all the same on alien worlds#and life will probably be hard everywhere in the galaxy#and there will be hatred and wars and love and hope and the burning feeling in thingâs vital organs when they just need to go a little more#and thatâs what makes it life.#Sorry for ranting in the tags lolâŠ

Aliens would be weirded out by fiction or fantasy
So I KNOW this one has been done, but it bears repeating cuz the idea of it is HILARIOUS.
We wanna write/draw a fictional world, we just sit there starring at screens or a blank sheet of paper for HOURS vividly hallucinating intricate and complex universes that have never happened before and usually couldnât happen in reality, with laws of physics that follow no known law in our existence. Imagine a species thatâd didnât really get it, say theyâre more practical and less inclined to whimsy, a real no nonsense type of aliens.
Alien: human what are you doing?
Human: Iâm thinking
Alien: about what?
Human: how a dragon could hoard so much gold it fills a mountain
Alien: âŠis that a normal occurrence on your world?
Human: what? No, Iâm writing short stories for November. Itâs a fictional creature, they donât exist on earth. Think those big reptilian things on Trigor 7 and youâd be close tho, except they have wings and breath fire
Alien: that is inherently worse, I would not like to think about that at all ever again. Why would you want to inflict such a terrible idea of another sentient entity?
Human: I meanâŠmostly for fun
Alien: âŠdeathworlders *shakes head and sighs*

been binge reading all those alien meet human posts recently and it made me wonder how aliens would react to human fear/hurt.
humans are fragile.
humans are fragile and somehow, by attitude alone they somehow manage to outgrow the confines of their physical bodies. Their bravery and intelligence make them seem so so much bigger than they actually are. Fancy weapons and body Armour and their ability to work in groups up to such an extreme makes them seem like they're more than they are. They'll packbond with anything too- too friendly for their own good somehow it never comes back to bite them.
But they really are just flesh and bone and heart under all that armour.
Imagine a human gets hurt. They get hurt and they get scared. So, so scared that they won't let anyone near them. It was like watching a wild animal, primal and instinctual in a way that humans rarely ever show. Sure, they get protective but they still keep their head on, still think it through. But they were just doing things right now- punching things with a bony fist that looked somehow smaller now. Humans make ot a point to go against anything that should be their nature, seeing them lean into that deep seated natural instinct to fight was chilling to say the least.
They were bleeding, bleeding too much to be any type of good, but they couldn't help. Its only after they pass out from blood loss do the aliens take them too the medbay. The confines of their body finally catching up to them in a way that aliens forgot it could. Usually when injured, humans will tough it out. 'Adrenaline' and spite spurring them on to keep going. To see them have to give up was unnerving.
They're better in less than an hour, like nothing had happened at all. Still, the crew of aliens tread on egg shells for an entire month after the encounter. If they hover a little closer to their token human during fights after that due to the new and old knowledge of their humans fragility, the human can only sigh and hope that they forget.

Being omnivores is very common among sapient species, since getting enough energy to fuel big, intelligent brains usually means being capable of eating whatever you can find.
Domesticating animals for livestock and other purposes also isn't unusual on the path to FTL travel. It's a reliable source of food especially when your livestock can eat things that you can't.
What IS unusual is having livestock that can easily kill you if they put their mind to it.
Aliens aren't weirded out by humans having livestock, or that we domesticated bunnies. Plenty of them built their civilizations off farms full of animals similar to bunnies. What IS weird is that we domesticated COWS. and PIGS. and later BISON.
Alien: Why are you bringing explosives on your hunting trip?
Human: I'm going to kill boar.
Alien: What are boar?
Human: Boar are just feral pigs that escaped into the wild. They're very dangerous so it's important to cull them.
Alien: And you use... explosives... to hunt them.
Human: That, and guns.
Alien: These are all ranged weapons.
Human: Well, yeah, I don't want to die trying to get up close.
Alien: ...How did you domesticate these things in the first place?

Honestly, rather than being impressed that we are able to mimic other animals' sounds, I think the aliens would be more impressed with how many animals have figured out that mimicking us, and specially our young, will result in getting help or food or just attention.
Alien: They could've picked any stronger creature, but they chose to imitate you
Human:... I guess? I feel like you're trying to make some sort of poetic, philosophical point here, but I'm not catching it

another humans are space orcs/humans are space oddities who run a care centre for alien younglings
"Excuse me, caretaker Kim?"
"Yes Tarlak?"
"Can Mira spend a night cycle at my home?"
"Uhhh, your gonna have to ask her parents for that. Do you want me to ask them for you?"
"Are you not one of her parents?"
"No..? What gave you that idea?"
"Because she has called you 'mama' 3 times before. As have Fredric, Yasmine, and several other human children...except for Danny...he called you 'papa'."
"Oooh, right, right, uh I'm actually not anyone's parent."
"...then why do they call you that? It does not make sense."
"Well, as you know, humans can form connections with just about anyone and sometimes those connections resemble the ones we have with our family members. So when kids call me mom or sometimes dad even, it's because I remind them of that parent."
"Remind? But you look nothing like Mira's mom."
"Yeah, but I remind her of how she feels with her mom. Does that make sense?"
"Yes, that is understood. Thank you for explaining this to me *whistle chirp*"
"Yeah no problem. Wish I could whistle like that."
A few days later...
"Kim!"
"Oh, hey Max!"
"How did you and every other parent...become a thing?"
"I'm sorry what now???"
"Look, I know you guys have been pretty quiet about it but, come on. Having the kids call you mom or the equivalent of mom in public? Pretty obvious buddy."
"...is that what they've been calling me?"
"You didn't know? How did you not know?? See this is why you should have taken linguistics with me...wait does this mean your not dating every other parent?"
"Max, the fact that you think I have that much game is the most flattering thing anyone has ever thought of me."
