let me know if you would (or would not) like to be tagged, but you must have your age somewhere visible on your blog!

You don’t know how long it is before Kat returns, no way to tell when it’s day or night (or even if this planet has days and nights, how long they may last). A different alien had come in some time ago to clean you, or so you assume. It had spread some sort of gel over the exposed parts of your body, the substance tingling then drying by itself.

The creature had also given you something, held a gun shaped object to your thigh, aimed right at your femoral artery, and shot you with what you guess to be sustenance considering the way your appetite was suddenly satiated.

Despite not feeling as drained as before, headache and stomach cramps having subsided, your heart drops when you see Kat walk in followed by two others that you vaguely recognize from when your crew had first arrived.

He thinks their names before you have to ask, and the closest you can get is Deku and Kiri. Both are even larger than Kat, a fact that makes you swallow nervously. He had told you he would find better ways to stretch you. Is this how? Are they going to…?

No. They’re just here to watch.

Also scary but not as bad as it could be.

Kat fiddles with the panel behind you again, tightening restraints, spreading your legs, just like last time. You already know that any struggling is useless, so you focus more on your breathing. In through the nose, out through the mouth.

The device on your chest has been active for some time, and though Kat doesn’t adjust anything on that, he does uncoil two clear tubes—the ones you saw attached to Kendou, and connects them to the smaller ones that sit right over your nipples.

I’ve never been pregnant… you won’t be able to get anything from me, you try, knowing damn well that pregnancy isn’t the only way to induce lactation.

I’m sure we’ll get plenty, Kat thinks with a huff.

You feel the machine initiate a light suction that makes you bite your lip, and when Kat walks around you to take up his place between your legs, you can see the smirk on his face.

A new set of tools is brought out this time, similar balls and speculum but other items that vary in size. They look very similar to a certain kind of toy you used to pleasure yourself with at home, except you never tried to use anything as big as some of these. Two of the oblong shapes look doable, but after that they start to get… intimidating.

You tense at the first touch, fingers tracing up and down your folds.

You either relax now or I make you, he tells you. Threatens you, more like.

You don’t doubt him. He learned how to unravel you last time, and judging by the way his finger lightly circles your clit, he retained all that information.

He teases for a little while, speaking to his comrades in their native tongue. Part of you wishes you could understand what he’s saying while another part is glad you can’t. Who knows what he’s telling them about you and your pussy?

You want to cry when you feel yourself throb, know that Kat can feel your wetness when he pushes a finger into your heat.

Like I told you… relaxed. He must be referring to the way your legs stop trembling.

It doesn’t feel good, doesn’t feel good, you repeat more to yourself than to him. Natural reaction, biological response. You need these reminders. You need to know that it isn’t the alien who’s making your skin hot, making you want more.

Kat adds another finger, scissors them, pulls out only to stretch your hole with different digits. He grunts something and you hear heavy footsteps, the other two creatures coming closer in order to watch, to look inside of you.

You clench your muscles as if it’ll do anything to hide your intimacy, but all it does is make the first bit of slick leak out of you. All three aliens make curious noises, something more appreciative coming from Kat when he rubs a finger through your folds, gathering the liquid.

To your horror, he raises his finger to his face to sniff it, examining it for a moment before poking his forked tongue out and licking it.

Deku and Kiri are suddenly shouting at him in alarm. Maybe they think it’s poison, a defense mechanism. That’s an amusing idea.

Taste good, Kat thinks, and you’re horrified at the pleasure that rolls through you. You don’t want him to enjoy the taste. Fuck, what if it makes him want to eat you?

I just might. His mouth is lifted up on one side, the edge of a fang poking out.

He uses the speculum first, stretching you slowly, so slowly, until your hole is opened wide enough for him to slide one of the long shapes inside of you. There’s even room to spare, prompting him to switch the tool for a bigger one. You feel the speculum against your walls rather than the insert, but that changes when Kat removes both to replace them with the next size up.

You moan, eyes squeezed shut. This is all I can take, you think to yourself. I can’t fit anything bigger.

Yeah, you can.

Kat moves the tool in and out of you, fucking you with it as your noises rise in volume and pitch. Oh, it feels good. It feels too good, and it only gets better when he flicks your clit. Your arousal streams down your folds and ass followed by squirt when Kat begins moving faster.

“Fuck fuck fuck.” It comes out as a whisper. You don’t want any of them to hear. Not that it matters since they—or at least Kat—knows what you’re thinking.

Another, girthier tool (at this point you feel they’re more like toys) takes the other’s place, and tears prick your eyes as you feel your flesh stretch even more. You have no idea how wide your hole is at this point, but you do know you’ve never had something this big inside of you. You also know you’ve never experienced the sensation you’re feeling in your tits.

Kat has enough understanding to go slowly, keep working your muscles and not just shove into you. You’re embarrassingly wet, letting the toy slide in and out of you with ease, and soon you’re even trying to buck into it.

You’re close to an orgasm. You can feel it building inside of you. And then it disappears when Kat stops pumping, leaving the tool inside of you and watching as you whimper and clench around it.

Push it out, he commands. I wanna see your cunt work.

You whine out loud and sniffle, unable to mask your shameful thought: but I don’t want it out of me.

Push it out and I’ll make you cum.

Bearing down as best you can, you groan and push, again feeling how large the object is as it slowly slides out of you. When it falls between your legs you let out a sob, inhaling raggedly when Kat touches you again. Fingers delve inside of you but it’s only to open you up. No part of his hands are touching, and though you can’t see what he sees, you know you must be stretched obscenely wide.

The three aliens peer into your guts, and you’ve never felt more exposed. You’re morbidly curious at your state, what Kat has done to your pussy, and in a silent answer to your question he releases your folds and begins pushing fingers into you. Two… three… four… oh god, five… and you take another without issue. You must be gaping, loose enough to—Christ, he starts fisting you. His whole hand is inside of you, making squirt splash out of your cunt. The way your body greedily takes what he’s giving you is absurd, and the way it makes you climb closer to your peak is even more so.

Wanna feel you clench around me. Can you do that?

You nod, back arching. He’s literally bruising your insides, and you’re loving it.

When you cum, it’s like nothing you’ve ever experienced. Your hole opens wider as if begging for Kat to push further, and a geyser of fluid sprays from between your legs. At the same time, you feel a tightness in your nipples as milk is pushed from them. Your jaw drops open in awe as you watch the white droplets get sucked up the tubing attached to you. He was right. It actually worked.

Could play with your cunt all day, Kat thinks as you take a shuddering breath. I think I might.

You feel weak as you raise your head to look at him, your face sticky with drying tears. I don’t…

He wiggles his fingers inside of you, cutting off any argument you thought you had.

There’s no way to tell how long he’s there with you, long enough for Kiri and Deku to grow bored and leave, but Kat stays, making you cum again. And again. And again.

The table is drenched and so are you and so is he, your juices dripping down his chest and into his lap. You cry and beg him to stop, so lightheaded, so sore. Every orgasm is paired with lactation. The first couple climaxes only produce drops at a time, but eventually you’re spewing enough milk to coat the tubes. All you want to do is hold your tender breasts, cover your nipples and soothe them, but it’s not an option. Instead Kat just keeps making you cum, keeps milking you, until all that’s left for you to do is pass out.

Miss Earth Namibia 2023 National Costume

The leaves are made of silk organza which is a sustainable fabric, and recycled tulle fabric and green plastic leaves from recycled plastic bags. As for the glitter beaded part, these are recycled beads that have been hand glued onto mesh net. The hat is made of cardboard and covered by the beaded fabric. Now, the aloe plant, with its ability to thrive in harsh conditions of the Namibian climate, embodies the spirit of survival and adaptation that is deeply rooted in our culture. It stands tall in the face of adversity, just as the people of Namibia have for generations. When everything seems barren and desolate, the aloe blooms with vibrant, healing properties, mirroring the optimism and potential for growth that resides within us all. Aloes are not only emblematic of hope; they are also a source of sustenance and healing. For centuries, our people have turned to the aloe for its medicinal properties. Its gel, extracted from the fleshy leaves, soothes and heals, providing a remedy for the ailments of both body and soul. It symbolizes our ancestral knowledge, our respect for nature's gifts, and our commitment to sustainable living in harmony with the Earth. Choosing the Aloe Plant as a representation of Namibia is a testament to our connection with the environment, a reminder that we are the stewards of this remarkable land.

Chapter 2

The night was still young when James drove back to his apartment. His conversation with Y/n earlier that evening made him even more intrigued and curious about her and a thought crossed his mind that maybe, just maybe, he knew what she was and he couldn't wait to find the facts that can back it up.

As far as he knew the only ones who were immune to his powers were supernatural beings like him. Never humans. So she must not be human. At least not fully.

She couldn't be a werewolf because they usually smell bad and he would have smelled it from feet away. On the other hand, she smelled good to him. Underneath the layer of fruity perfume and the scent of jasmine from probably the shower gel she used, he could pick up her signature scent, which was not like the usual humans he had encountered.

She couldn't be a faerie either because they’re usually overly cheery and happy. She was not like that even though she seemed to emit a faerie-like aura in his eyes.

So the only other supernatural being he knew was a vampire, like himself. But she seemed to lack the coldness a vampire usually has. There was only one possibility and that was she was a half-vampire. Something rare but he had encountered several times before. 

Of course he couldn't confront her right up. If she was one, there was always a chance she was sent by him or by another coven - to do what, he wasn't sure. And if she wasn't, he was just going to terrify her and he didn't want that. The conversation with her made him feel things he hadn’t felt in a long while and he was hoping to continue to forge a connection with her and see where it goes. He didn't realize how lonely he had been, but being with her that evening made him realize that.

He returned to his sleek, modern apartment, the city lights casting a gentle glow through the large windows. He took off the gloves he always wore whenever he went out and poured himself a glass of sheep blood, the only sustenance that could satisfy his natural hunger.

Despite being a vampire and having an appetite for human blood, his heart couldn't take feeding on other humans. Even from the beginning he had an unnatural ability to resist feeding on humans and could satisfy himself with animal blood. He was what the vampire community would call a vegetarian vampire, a term that started with him three hundred years ago. After that there were more vegetarian vampires that emerged, but they were the minority. 

His ability to resist feeding on humans was what kept him on his job. Mingling among humans day in and day out was something not a lot vampires can do without triggering their appetite. So it was dangerous for them. But to James, it was weirdly easy. 

He picked the glass of sheep blood and settled into his study, a room filled with various monitors and documents. His mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Y/n and the peculiar resistance he had encountered.

He turned on his laptop and began searching through his contacts and databases. His vampire connections were vast, spanning both human and supernatural networks, but he was careful to use them discreetly. He needed to find out more about Y/n without alerting her or anyone else.

Pulling up Y/n’s professional records, James scrutinized her work history and personal background. Everything appeared normal—solid career, reputable institution—nothing out of the ordinary.

Frustrated, James contacted a few trusted informants. “I need information on any unusual half-bloods,” he said into his phone. “Nothing major, just a feeling I have.”

The responses were vague. “You know how it is,” one informant said. “Half-bloods tend to fly under the radar. Can’t say I’ve heard anything recent.”

James hung up, his frustration growing. He accessed a more obscure database he kept for special cases, searching for patterns or anomalies. He noted the historical cases of half-bloods with traits similar to Y/n’s: unusual eye colors, enhanced observation skills, and a unique aura.

One file caught his eye: a case from several decades ago involving a half-blood with similar characteristics. The file was incomplete, but the similarities between the individual and Y/n were striking. James felt a growing sense of urgency. He needed to verify his suspicions and find out if Y/n truly was a half-blood.

—

The next morning, James met Y/n at the headquarters. She greeted him with a curious smile, her eyes bright despite the early hour.

“Ready for another day of detective work?” she asked, her tone light but serious.

“Absolutely,” James replied, trying to mask his inner tension. “We’ve got a new case.”

They went over the details of the latest murder—a young woman found in an alley, her death bearing similarities to the previous case they had investigated. It was a murder done by another one of his kind and he had done what he usually did at the crime scene to cover up their tracks. 

As they examined the crime scene a little later on that day, James observed Y/n closely.

“You’re very perceptive,” James remarked as Y/n noted an unusual detail—a faint trace of a rare chemical substance.

Y/n looked up, a hint of surprise in her eyes. “Thanks. I’ve been trying to piece together patterns in these cases.”

James studied her reactions and her ability to pick up on subtle clues. “You have a knack for this,” he said, his voice carrying an edge of genuine admiration. “How did you get so skilled?”

Y/n shrugged, a smile playing on her lips. “I guess it’s just something I’ve always been good at. Maybe it’s a mix of instinct and training. Why do you ask?”

“No reason,” James replied smoothly. “Just curious. Sometimes people have unique skills that they don’t even realize are special.”

Y/n’s gaze lingered on him. “Like you? You seem to have a knack for solving cases.”

James chuckled softly, feeling a bit of warmth in her gaze. “Something like that.”

As they continued to work, James tried once more to subtly influence Y/n. “You know, it’s possible this murder is just a coincidence,” he said, focusing on her with his penetrating gaze.

Y/n met his eyes, her expression unchanging. “I don’t think so,” she said firmly. “There are too many similarities to ignore.”

James’s attempts to sway her mind were met with resistance. Her resolve seemed to counteract his influence. “You’re really steadfast,” he said, his curiosity growing. “I admire that.”

Later, as they sat in the headquarter’s break room, James decided to approach the subject more directly. “So, how’s the case treating you? Finding anything interesting?”

Y/n leaned back, looking thoughtful. “It’s challenging, but I think we’re getting closer. I’ve been finding some patterns that don’t quite fit the usual profiles.”

James’s mind raced with possibilities. “Patterns like what?”

“Like the chemical trace we found at the scene,” Y/n explained. “It’s not something you see every day. It could be a clue to something bigger.”

James nodded, trying to mask his growing concern. “You’re onto something, I can tell. But don’t get too attached to any theories until we have more evidence.”

Y/n smiled, her eyes reflecting both curiosity and caution. “I’ll keep that in mind. But I have a feeling there’s more to this than meets the eye.”

James nodded, his eyebrows furrowed. He needed to have more opportunities to figure her out and to try and sway her mind. “I think we’ve made some progress today. How about we grab dinner and discuss our findings?” 

Y/n looked at him, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. “Sure, sounds good. But don’t think you’re off the hook with those questions about me.”

James smiled, feeling a mix of anticipation and anxiety. “I wouldn’t dream of it.”

—

The dim light of the restaurant flickered gently across James’s face as he and Y/n settled into their corner booth. The atmosphere was intimate, with jazz softly playing in the background. As James poured wine into their glasses, he couldn’t shake the feeling that the evening held more than just casual conversation.

“So, Y/n,” James began, leaning forward slightly, his gaze intense yet inviting, “what else drew you to detective work? Aside from wanting to fight injustice? Which I think is admirable but.. I’m sure that's not the only reason.”

Y/n took a sip of her wine, her eyes reflecting the candlelight. “I’ve always been drawn to solving mysteries. There’s something thrilling about uncovering the truth, no matter how elusive it might be.”

James’s eyes narrowed slightly, his curiosity piqued. “Thrilling, you say. And what about your past? Any peculiar experiences or moments that shaped your path?”

Y/n’s smile faltered just a touch, her gaze dropping to her glass. “My family had different plans for me, you could say. They wanted me in a more traditional role. But I chose this path because it felt right.”

James leaned back, studying her. “And your childhood? Anything unusual?”

Y/n’s eyes met his, a flicker of curiosity crossing her face. “Why the sudden interest in my past?”

“Just trying to understand what makes you tick,” James said smoothly. “Sometimes our past can reveal hidden strengths or talents.”

Y/n shrugged. “I had a typical childhood—supportive family, some struggles, but nothing out of the ordinary.”

James’s mind was racing. He was searching for patterns, something that would explain her resistance to his influence. “You seem well-adjusted despite the challenges. It’s not always easy to defy expectations.”

Y/n’s gaze softened. “I guess it’s just a matter of following your instincts and staying true to yourself.”

James’s attraction to Y/n grew stronger with every word she spoke. Her presence was magnetic, her voice soothing yet compelling, her bright smile was like the sun breaking through the storm in his heart. He couldn’t help but be drawn to her, much like he had been to his former fiancée before he became a vampire. The pain of their separation still lingered, and the feelings he had for Y/n were both surprising and intense.

“So, tell me,” James said, his voice low, “what do you do when you’re not working?”

Y/n’s eyes lit up. “I love reading and hiking. I also have a fascination with history. There’s something captivating about learning from the past.”

James smiled, genuinely interested. “That’s intriguing. History can indeed offer valuable insights into our world.”

As the conversation continued, James noticed how Y/n’s eyes seemed to change color in the light, one blue and one light brown with streaks of dark brown. They held a depth that he couldn’t quite place, drawing him in further. The more he watched her, the more he felt a connection that was both intense and unfamiliar.

“Do you ever feel like there’s something more to your life?” James asked, trying to probe deeper. “Like you’re part of something bigger?”

Y/n’s gaze was steady, her eyes searching his. “Sometimes, yes. I think we all have moments when we question if there’s a greater purpose.”

James’s heart quickened. Her words resonated with him in a way he hadn’t experienced in centuries. “It’s curious how some people come into our lives and change everything. Have you ever felt that way?”

Y/n’s smile was wistful. “I’ve had moments where I felt like someone or something was guiding me, but it’s hard to explain.”

James felt a pang of longing. “It’s interesting how connections can be so profound, even when we don’t fully understand them.”

Their conversation grew more intimate as the evening wore on. James tried to maintain a casual demeanor, but he couldn’t ignore the growing sense of urgency he felt. He was becoming increasingly convinced that Y/n was a half-vampire, but he needed more than just feelings—he needed evidence.

As they finished their meal, James couldn’t help but wanting to know her more, both to figure out the mystery on how she could defy her powers, and also to enjoy her company, much to his surprise. “Would you be open to discussing the case again? There’s still a lot to uncover, and I’d like to hear your thoughts.”

Y/n’s eyes sparkled with curiosity. “Sure, I’d be happy to. There’s a lot we need to figure out.”

James smiled, feeling a mix of excitement and apprehension. “Great. I look forward to it.”

“One more thing though.” Y/n said, her eyes twinkled.

“What is it?” James asked, arching his eyebrows.

“What's with the gloves?” Y/n asked, her eyes darted to his gloved hands.

James’ eyebrows knitted together as he racked his brain for a believable answer. “Poor circulation.” He finally replied and he was met with Y/n’s arched eyebrows.

“Interesting.” Y/n replied and he smiled.

As they parted ways outside the restaurant, James couldn’t shake the undeniable attraction he felt for her. For a split second he contemplated on asking to walk her to her apartment and hoping that maybe she would invite him in. But he realized it was too soon. So he reluctantly walked the other direction, realizing that he also needed to start monitoring the night for any rogue vampires.

—

The moon hung low, casting eerie shadows across the desolate street. Y/n's footsteps echoed off the damp pavement as she walked briskly towards her apartment. The night air was unusually cold, sending shivers down her spine. The once-comforting hum of the city seemed distant, leaving an unsettling silence in its wake.

Every so often, she would glance over her shoulder, her instincts prickling with a sense of being watched. She quickened her pace, her anxiety growing with each step. The alley ahead, usually just a shortcut, now loomed like a dark, foreboding maw.

As she neared the entrance of the alley, a flicker of movement caught her eye. She stopped abruptly, her heart pounding in her chest. Shadows danced along the walls, but nothing seemed out of place. Trying to calm herself, she took a deep breath and continued forward, her unease intensifying.

Suddenly, a figure stepped out from the darkness, emerging like a predator from its lair. His eyes glowed with a malevolent hunger, and his smile, full of sharp fangs, sent a chill down her spine. 

“Evening, love,” he sneered, his voice dripping with malice. “You’re just the meal I was looking for.”

Y/n's heart raced as she took an instinctive step back, her breath catching in her throat. “Stay away from me!”

The vampire’s grin widened. Without warning, he lunged with a speed that defied human capability. Y/n barely had time to react as he grabbed her arm with a grip that felt like icy chains. She tried to wrench free, but the vampire’s hold was unyielding.

Fear surged through her as she struggled against his strength. The vampire’s eyes gleamed with cruel satisfaction as he pressed closer, his fangs bared. She could feel his cold breath against her neck, and the terror of being bitten overwhelmed her.

In a desperate bid for survival, Y/n flailed her arm, managing to catch the vampire off-guard. A burst of raw, uncontrollable energy erupted from her, throwing the vampire backward into a pile of discarded crates with a loud crash. The impact echoed through the alley, and the vampire’s surprised curse filled the air.

Y/n stood, trembling, trying to make sense of the power she had unleashed. Before she could process what had happened, the vampire was on his feet again, his eyes burning with anger and confusion. 

“You’re not just a regular human, are you?” he snarled, his voice a dangerous growl.

Before Y/n could answer, the shadows shifted once more, and James appeared. His presence was commanding, his expression a mix of urgency and resolve. Without a word, he moved with a speed that seemed almost otherworldly, closing the distance between himself and the vampire in an instant.

James tackled the rogue vampire with brutal force, slamming him into the brick wall with a resounding thud. The vampire’s eyes widened in shock as James’s hands locked around his throat, his grip unyielding. 

“You picked the wrong person to mess with,” James growled, his voice echoing with authority.

The vampire’s struggles became frantic as he clawed at James’s hands, but James’s grip only tightened. With a swift, calculated motion, James lifted the vampire off the ground and slammed him back down, causing a visible tremor in the alley. The vampire gasped, trying to regain his bearings.

James’s attacks were methodical and relentless. He delivered a series of powerful blows—each punch landing with devastating impact. The vampire attempted to retaliate, but James’s superior strength and skill left him reeling. The alley was filled with the sounds of their violent struggle: the thud of fists, the crack of bone, and the vampire’s pained grunts.

With a final, decisive move, James grabbed the vampire by the head and twisted violently. The sickening crack of bone echoed through the alley as James snapped the vampire’s neck with a powerful, deliberate motion. The rogue vampire slumped to the ground, his body lifeless.

James stood over the fallen vampire, his breathing heavy but controlled. The alley was silent now, save for the distant hum of city life.

Turning to Y/n, James’s expression softened with a mix of concern and relief. “Are you alright?”

Y/n, still shaking and wide-eyed, nodded slowly. “I—yes, I think so. But what was that? Who was he?”

James’s gaze was serious. “He was a rogue vampire. I had to intervene because you were in serious danger.”

Y/n’s face paled as she absorbed the reality of the situation. “So you’re…?”

“Yes,” James admitted, his voice steady. “I’m a vampire. And it’s possible you have some vampire heritage yourself. That’s why my abilities didn’t work on you.”

Y/n’s expression was a mix of fear and confusion. “Your abilities?”

“Yes, I have a mind bending ability. Something you might have picked up on.” James explained and her eyes grew wide.

“I need to know more. What does this mean for me?” She asked, her voice trembling.

James took a step closer, his eyes filled with a blend of empathy and urgency. “There’s a lot to explain, but for now, we need to get you somewhere safe. We’ll talk more about this soon.”

As James guided Y/n away from the alley, the night felt even more oppressive, its dark secrets now laid bare. The weight of new revelations and the dangerous world she had been thrust into hung heavily in the air. 

---

Y/n fumbled with her keys as they reached her apartment door. Her hands were trembling, her mind racing with what had just transpired. She could barely register the world around her as her thoughts kept replaying the sight of James effortlessly snapping the vampire’s neck. The reality of what he was, what he could do, was crashing down on her with suffocating weight.

James followed behind, his steps silent but his presence overwhelming. As Y/n opened the door and stepped inside, she hesitated for a moment, her heart hammering in her chest. She could feel him behind her, watching, waiting. She didn’t know whether to feel safe or terrified.

She stepped into the dimly lit apartment, not bothering to turn on the lights. “You can sit,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper. She moved to the kitchen area, her hands shaking as she fumbled with the kettle, needing something—anything—to keep her hands busy. 

James stayed by the door for a moment, his sharp senses picking up her rapid heartbeat, the uneven breathing. She was on the verge of panic. He could feel it, the fear radiating off her in waves, and it pained him in a way he didn’t expect. He didn’t want her to be afraid of him. Not her.

“Y/n...” His voice was gentle, a stark contrast to the cold, calculated predator he had been moments ago. He took a step toward her, moving cautiously as though approaching a wounded animal. “It’s okay. I’m not going to hurt you.”

Y/n turned sharply, her eyes wide, filled with a mix of fear and disbelief. “You just… killed him. You—” Her voice cracked, and she took a sharp breath, trying to calm the rising panic.

“He was going to kill you,” James said softly, his hands held up in a placating gesture. “I had no choice.”

Her breath came faster, on the verge of hyperventilating, as she backed up against the counter. “But you’re—” She swallowed hard, her voice trembling. “You’re a vampire.”

James closed the distance between them, slowly, deliberately. His presence was calm, soothing, and he made sure his voice was even and steady. “Yes, I am. But I swear to you, I’m not your enemy.”

She shook her head, barely able to process his words, her chest rising and falling rapidly. “I don’t know what to believe right now.”

James took another step closer, so close now that he could see the fine tremor in her hands. “Look at me.” His voice was firm but gentle. “I need you to breathe, Y/n. Deep breaths.”

Her eyes flickered up to meet his, and something in his gaze—the calm, the steady warmth—gave her the slightest bit of reassurance. She tried to take a breath, shakier than she wanted, but it was a start.

“Good,” James encouraged, his voice low, soothing. He reached out, hesitating for a moment before placing a gentle hand on her arm. Despite the gloves he was wearing, the contact sent a jolt through him—electric, magnetic. The pull toward her was stronger than anything he’d felt in centuries, but he held himself back. Now wasn’t the time. He needed her to trust him. “I know this is overwhelming, but you’re safe with me.”

Y/n nodded slowly, though the fear still lingered in her eyes. “I don’t understand any of this.”

James took a breath, fighting the instinct to pull her closer, to wrap his arms around her and shield her from the confusion and fear. Instead, he released her arm and stepped back slightly, giving her space. “Let me explain.”

She watched him warily as he moved toward the couch and sat, leaving the decision up to her. After a long pause, Y/n followed him to the living room, sitting on the edge of the chair opposite him, her posture stiff.

“I’m a vampire,” James started, keeping his tone soft. “I’ve been one for over three hundred years. I was born human, just like you, in London in the 1700s. I worked as a detective, solving cases much like the ones we’ve been working on.”

Y/n listened in stunned silence, her fear ebbing slightly as the shock of his words replaced it. She shook her head, trying to grasp what he was saying. “But… how?”

James’s jaw tightened for a moment, the memory of that fateful night flashing through his mind. “The vampire leader singled me out. He saw my skills as a detective and decided he wanted me to work for him. Without my consent, he turned me into a vampire. I had no say in it.”

Y/n’s eyes widened. “He just… turned you? Without asking?”

James nodded grimly. “Yes. After that, I was forced to work for the vampire community, covering up their tracks, hiding their existence from humans. It’s what I’ve been doing for the past three centuries.”

Her expression turned to one of horror. “That’s… horrible. You had no choice?”

“None,” James said, his voice laced with the weight of centuries of regret. “But I made the best of it. I’ve tried to protect humans, to keep the supernatural world from spilling over into the one you know. It’s my way of atoning for what I was made into.”

Y/n looked away, her mind racing. “And now you think… what? That I’m part of this world too?”

James leaned forward, his gaze intense but filled with concern. “I’m not sure what you are yet, but tonight, when you fought that vampire… you displayed abilities that aren’t human. You’re stronger, faster, more resilient. My guess is that you’re a half-vampire, though you may not even know it.”

Her eyes snapped back to him, wide with shock. “Half-vampire? That’s impossible. I’m just… me.”

“Maybe you are,” James said softly. “But there’s something more to you, Y/n. And I want to help you figure out what that is.”

The room fell into a heavy silence. Y/n’s mind was reeling, her whole world tilting on its axis. She stared at James, searching for answers, but all she found was that same magnetic pull—the undeniable connection she felt, even through her fear.

James felt it too, stronger than ever. The way she looked at him, even in her disbelief, made him want to close the distance between them, to feel her warmth, her pulse against his cold skin. He could barely stop himself from reaching out, from leaning in.

But he held back.

Now wasn’t the time. She needed answers, not confusion.

“I’ll protect you,” he promised quietly, his voice barely above a whisper. “No matter what happens. I’ll help you figure this out, and I won’t let anything hurt you.”

Y/n’s gaze softened slightly, her fear still present but now mixed with something else—trust, perhaps. “Why are you helping me?”

James hesitated for a moment, unable to say what he truly felt. The connection, the pull, the way she made him feel alive in a way he hadn’t in centuries. Instead, he said, “Because it’s the right thing to do. You didn’t ask for this, just like I didn’t.”

She looked at him for a long time, studying his face, the weight of his words sinking in. Finally, she nodded, the smallest hint of trust forming in her eyes. “Okay. I’ll trust you.”

The words were simple, but they held a power James hadn’t felt in years. Trust. Something so fragile, yet so valuable. And with it came a promise—one he would keep.

“Thank you,” he said softly, unable to hide the slight relief in his voice.

They sat there in the dim light, the air between them charged with unspoken feelings. Neither of them acknowledged it, but both could feel it—a connection, growing stronger with each passing moment.

Fic under the cut

If there was one thing Shelda had become accustomed to on Snaktooth Island, it was struggling for food. Sauce was hardly sustenance, and her own physical inability stopped her from catching bugsnax herself, though that didn’t matter much; even if she could, she refused to make the first steps herself, and kept to her righteousness as long as she could.

It was there where her knowledge in herbology and plants could’ve been useful. Identify the edible plants, or at least their edible parts, and forage as much as possible. It was a generally good idea for those who could identify flora, but the island itself seemed to be against that.

She could identify every plant with ease, but it didn’t help when every plant was almost entirely poisonous. Foxglove, ragwort, hemlock, white snakeroot; other than sauce, only bad things grew from the ground. The island was designed to MAKE you eat bugsnax, and she had realized it very quickly. And when it came to the cacti, she didn’t have the right tools to get anything edible from them without more harm than good.

She was in the scorched gorge, looking around those patches of cacti, looking for any other kind of plant or succulent at their sides. She was on the verge of giving up on that search, until finally, something caught her eye. A plant with thick stalks and small white spikes.

Shelda bent down to it, getting a closer look. She grabbed a stalk and picked it off, seeing a bit of goop fall from the bottom, and she smiled. “Oh, thank Mother Naturae for her blessing…” She said to herself, pulling open the fleshy plant. And there it was, she could tell it now; aloe vera. The first mostly edible plant she’d seen on that island. She sat there and picked every stalk she could from the plant, hoping that the harvest she was getting would hold her over for the next few days. It wasn’t much, but it was more than nothing.

And that was how it started; a sheep-like grumpus feasting on the fruits of the island.

~~~~~~

About an hour later, Shelda had placed herself in her gazebo for a long afternoon of carving aloe leaves. She’d pull the stalk apart, get out what gel she could with her paw, then scrape the aloin away with a rock. She was sure she could use the latex for medicinal purposes later, but the rest was entirely to fill her stomach.

“Aaand what’s happening over here?” She heard a voice beside her, and turned over to see the journalist with their arms crossed. “What’s all this?”

“It’s aloe vera.” She said, looking back down at her stock. “Mother Naturae has blessed me with foraging the one non-toxic plant on this island.” She spoke with appreciation, holding up a scraped stalk.

“Really?” Their eyes widened. “I remember Filbo telling me he ate a plant that made him real’ sick. Is every plant around here like that?”

She shrugged. “They might as well be. This is the first time I’ve seen any kind of aloe here.” She grabbed another stalk, pulling it apart. “The most common plant around here is oleander, which shouldn’t be consumed at all.”

“I’m sure Gramble would’ve loved to hear that before getting food poisoning.” They rolled their eyes, looking away. “Are you gonna be sharing that?”

“It tastes like soap, child. Or,

soap tastes like aloe.” She noted, looking at the fruits of her foraging. “If you or Gramble want to have that over sauce then go ahead.”

She could see them cringe at the thought of it. “If it tastes like soap then why are you eating it?”

“Because sauce doesn’t sustain me. I’d take this batch of aloe vera over something that keeps me hungry.” Picking up an emptied stalk, she sighed. “Things get difficult as you get old, child. I am lucky that the mother blessed me with this.” With that, she took a bite.

“Euch.” They stepped back. “Have fun eating soap, I think.” Turning to the rest of town, they ran off.

“…” She watched them run off, then grumbled to herself. “That grump is always running off so suddenly…” She didn’t care too much as she got back to eating the plant’s parts, completely unphased by the taste.

When afternoon transitioned into evening, she’d had the full harvest prepared. Some stalks were left out for later, and the gel had been split between several cups. Using a handful of other herbs she’d carefully taken from Wambus, she’d made it into a sort of tea. A very thick, aloe-tasting tea, but a tea nonetheless.

She’d brought a bit of it with her to the fire.

“Hey Shelda!” Filbo greeted her happily as she joined the campfire group. “Whatcha got there?” He asked curiously, seeing her sit down with the cup.

“It is a tea made with gifts from the mother herself, a reprieve from weeks of starvation granted to me by nature.” She said with appreciation lining her breath, a smile on her face. “…I made it from aloe vera.” She added after getting several confused faces.

“You found aloe? Out here?” Wambus looked surprised, raising an eyebrow.

“In the gorge. I spared some to make sure they continue to grow, but I foraged as much of the fruits of nature as I could.” She took a sip, smiling with satisfaction.

“Well, I’m glad you found food, Shelda!” Filbo beamed, then his expression curled. “But, uh, doesn’t aloe taste all weird? And soapy?”

She sighed. “It IS commonly used for fur care rather than as something to be sustained by, but I’ve gotten used to bitter tastes.”

“…” He continued to stare at her for a second, then let out a held breath. “I can’t look at you and not think that you’re drinking soap.”

“Yep, that’s what I was about to say.” Wambus shrugged, looking at the fire.

“It can’t taste that bad if you’re drinking that much, right?” Chandlo asked, leaning forward.

Shelda pulled the cup away from her face, chuckling softly. “Oh Chandlo, my child… It’s horrid. But it’s as I said, it’s the best I have.”

They all stared at her for a few moments more before a camera shuttered behind them. “Ha! Granny’s drinking soap!” They all turned to see Beffica, holding her camera up with a grin on her face, and then scurrying off.

The old woman slouched with a sigh, holding her cup close to her chest. “I have a strong sense that I’ll be hearing that from her for quite some time.”

“Well, I mean…” Filbo hesitated for a second, looking away. “You ARE drinking it.”

“But it’s not soap, dawg!” Chandlo said, turning to him.

“She said it tastes like it!”

“I said it tasted bad.” She rolled her eyes for a moment, then sipped from the cup again. “For a change of pace from this discussion, Wambus, would you care to try growing aloe vera yourself?”

He shrugged. “Wouldn’t be the worst idea, but I don’t recall it bein’ very quickly growin’.”

She hummed sadly. “It was worth a try.” She turned back to the fire, and the conversation turned silent as the fire blazed on.

~~~~~~

Months passed, and the aloe vera forage had emptied in the first couple of weeks. It was a treat enough that Shelda appreciated it, but after long enough, she’d pretty much forgotten about it. She returned to a state where she sustained herself on herbal teas, and the occasional bugsnak that the journalist would give to her through the box. And really, the bugsnax would feel so much better than the aloe ever would.

It was one of those days where Scarla had enough snax for everybody in town, and felt generous enough to give one to everybody, even if it meant the means would be a little annoying.

“Hey, Shellsy.” They walked up to the gazebo, looking up. “…What is going on this time?”

The older woman had her back against one of the wooden poles of her home, rubbing against the corner of it. “Pardon me for just a moment, Echoyear…” She held a paw up, trying to get the wood into the crook of her neck. “…I’ve been terribly itchy this morning.” She pulled off, stumbling a little. “What do you want?”

“I was bringing you some lunch, I caught a lot of bugsnax today,” They reached into their squirming backpack, then pulled out an aggroll. “You’ve been itchy today?” They prompted her to continue.

She took the snak from their paws. “I tried making a poultice for it, but it wasn’t quite what I’d hoped for. I’d almost say it made it worse.” Putting it in her mouth, she ate it the same way anyone else would as she sat down. “I’m- gh- sure it’s just a typical rash.”

“…” Scarla stared blankly at her for a few seconds, eyes widening after a moment. Then, their eyebrows furrowed. “Are you okay?”

“..?” She raised an eyebrow at them. “Other than being itchy, yes. Are YOU okay?”

They grunted under their breath. “Oh I’m sorry, I’m just a little surprised after watching you stumble on your own hooves and then eat a bugsnak without waiting for me to even turn around.” They crossed their arms, “It’s unlike you to do that.”

“..!” After a pause, her eyes widened. “Goodness to the mother, I didn’t realize.” She put her paw on her forehead, looking dazed after a moment.

“Seems like you might be more sick than just itchy fur. You’re usually pretty on top of your act.” They stepped back, letting the older woman regain her composure. “Maybe sleeping in a bed instead of out like this at night would help.”

She shook her head at the idea. “I made my choice to have my living space be this way, I will not let it go now.” Getting back on her hooves, she stood up. “I’ll make more poultice and a cup of tea. I’m sure I just need to steady myself this afternoon.”

They watched her grab the nearest support beam as she stood up, leaning against it. “…You know, I CAN ask Eggabell if she’ll come down here and look at you. She might be preoccupied with the mystery, but I don’t think she’d leave someone like this if they’re in need.”

“I’m not in need, my child. I’m a little disoriented.” Shelda waved her paw at them. “It will pass.”

“…Eh.” They rolled their eyes. “If you say so.” With that, they walked away.

She silently watched them leave, then turned to her collection of herbs and spices. She was sure that her remedies usually worked, but if one batch of poultice didn’t relieve the itching, then another wouldn’t either. As soon as she thought about the itching, it returned, crawling up her back in an almost painful manner. It was going to be a LONG day.

But it wouldn’t be just a day.

Another month later, and the itching still hadn’t passed, nor had stumbling, or disorientation, or Shelda’s unfocused behavior. In fact, it seemed like they’d all gotten worse. It’d started taking her longer to get from her home to the firepit, she started talking less around the fire, she wasn’t sitting like she usually would, and she’d started sleeping laying down. She tried every remedy she could mix, and not one worked, but she wouldn’t give in until she had to.

And one day, she did.

It was the afternoon transitioning into evening, and after what felt like incredibly long of itching her back and neck on a beam, it was time to meet by the fire. Part of her considered not going, and instead staying there and going to sleep early, but she wouldn’t give in to herself. Not that easily. It was just the steps down from her gazebo and then the smooth walk to the center of town.

“…-!” A sharp gasp came out as she stumbled on the edge of the wood, falling forward and hitting her shin on the lower step, then planting hard onto her wrists and front on the ground. Her mind was filled with a sharp ringing as she heard small cracks from parts of her that she couldn’t identify. All of her thoughts were so foggy that she couldn’t place where they were coming from.

She didn’t make a sound as she turned her head, feeling dirt stuck on her face, and suddenly unable to move the rest of the way. Any noise she tried to make was stifled in her throat, feeling stuck as she waited. Somebody had to find her.

“Oh my gosh!” After what felt like forever, she heard somebody find her, and she didn’t look up to see who. She recognized the voice, and had to let things go by on their own. “Shelda, what just happened-?!” She let herself be turned over, finally looking up at the orange sky and the grumpus who was helping her. Her and Triffany weren’t quite friends, but she’d take the support.

“…” Shelda looked tiredly up at the raptor-like grumpus, disoriented and pained. Part of her was still very confused about how she had fallen, and she couldn’t get any words out.

“Um- Scarla! Chandlo!” Triffany looked away and called for her fellow grumpuses. “You’re lucky I was on my way through town, I don’t know if anyone woulda found you for a while, did you just trip-?”

Quickly enough, two other grumpuses were right by her, and a few more standing further away. “Grumps sake- Shellsy!” Scarla kneeled down by her, harshly making eye contact. “I know you’ve been stumbling recently but this is ridiculous.”

“Shelldawg-?” Chandlo squeaked out. “What’s happening?”

She slowly held her paw up, barely able to lift her arm up. She was very sure she had hurt a bone in some kind of way, but that had to wait. “…The doctor.” She hissed out, eyes narrowing at the journalist.

“Eggabell, got it.” They leapt to their hooves, stepping back. “I said we should’ve gotten her to look at you when this started but you didn’t listen…” She heard their voice trail off as they ran away.

“Get her upright, I don’t think she should be laying down.” She heard someone say, then felt Chandlo’s arm go behind her shoulder. With little force, she was pushed up, then held up by Chandlo and Triffany.

“Are you cold-? You’re trembling a lot.” The archeologist asked, getting no response. Shelda could only look between those around her as she waited to be evaluated, too disoriented, tired, and painfully itchy to focus and talk. She’d found it easier to be quiet than to talk in the previous weeks.

“What did Scarla mean when they said this started before?” Chandlo asked, looking around.

“I-I mean, she has been really quiet these evenings.” Filbo started, “And the scratching, and sitting weirdly, I thought she was getting sick, but I also thought she’d get over it.”

She sat in silence as everyone around her talked about her. “We can ask Scarla how long this has been going on for, but right now, we gotta wait for Eggabell.” Triffany shrugged, looking away.

“It’ll be alright. I’m sure it will.” Chandlo looked hopeful, but worried. “We wouldn’t lose the wisest one in town like this.”

She hadn’t even considered that her sickness could’ve been so severe. Really, she hadn’t been thinking of anything. All of her mind was too preoccupied by the constant stinging and ringing in her ears.

“What happened-?” Quick footsteps and a new voice entered her earshot, though faint.

“We’re not sure.” Triffany got up, “I found her down like this and Scarla said something about her being sick recently.”

“Stop crowding around. Everyone go do your own thing, I need to evaluate her.” Eggabell waved her paw at the crowded townspeople, her and Scarla reaching the group.

Triffany got up and let Chandlo continue to support Shelda while everyone else dispersed. “Can I stay?” He asked Eggabell as she walked up to the collapsed grumpus.

“I… Sure, Chandlo.” She sounded hesitant, but sighed as she kneeled down. “Shelda?” She was noticeably intimidated as she made eye contact with the sheep-like grumpus.

“…” Some part of her made it impossible to respond beyond moving her eyes, her gaze narrowing.

“…Ugh. Scarla, what’s been going on with her?” The doctor turned to the journalist.

“I'm not exactly sure. She’s stopped talking as much, she barely keeps up the righteous schtick, she’s been itchy all the time, and I’m going to assume by how much she’s been stumbling that she ended up tripping here.” Scarla explained, looking around.

“So she’s had pruritus, has been losing her coordination, and her behavior is faltering?” Eggabell checked, getting a nod. “Ah, um… Chandlo, do you know if she’s particularly light right now?” Her voice got more tense.

“Huh-? She’s always been pretty lightweight, but…” He shifted his hold on her a little, still supporting her balance. “I guess she is kinda off.”

The doctor took a deep breath, looking away. “Okay, so… Based on her history of osteoporosis, right now I think she’s cracked a bone or two from the fall, but… What I’m more worried about is that these all sound like symptoms of scrapie.”

“Symptoms of what now?” Scarla raised an eyebrow.

“It’s a degenerative prion disease found exclusively in sheep and goat grumpuses that causes all of these symptoms.” She explained, only to get more confused stares. “What’s strange is that there are no other grumpuses like that besides her on the island, and it’s spread through, uh…” She motioned vaguely with her paws, “Sharing… fluids..?”

Shelda herself managed a glare at that sentence, while the other two just looked disturbed. “Well if that’s what she has, then how do we treat it?” The journalist asked.

“That’s the thing- you don’t.” Eggabell sighed. “Scrapie is a degenerative disease in the brain that starts as behavioral changes and then ends as complete motor failure. There’s been no attempt to find a cure for it or any type of prion disease.”

It was clear that the doctor was struggling with empathy at that moment, partially from her lack of connection with Shelda, but the other two more than made up for it. “…You’re serious?” Scarla’s eyes narrowed. “There’s a disease that destroys some grumps completely and they haven’t even tried to treat it?”

“E-even if it could be, we don’t have what we need on the island.” Eggabell grabbed her arm, sitting upright. “I’m sorry. I can help with her injuries from the fall but I can’t do anything to stop this.”

“If you can’t treat it, how long does she have?” Chandlo asked quickly, looking between his friend and his older figure.

“I don’t know exactly. Symptoms can take up to a year to show after contracting it,” She turned to the journalist, “Do you know when it started?”

“I saw her stumbling for the first time a month ago.” They answered quickly, not looking at the doctor. Shelda looked lost and confused, but bitter at the same time.

“Okay, then… She might have another month or two left, but if she’s already been going quiet and losing motor control, they aren’t going to be good ones.”

They scoffed. “You go back to the mountain, Eggabell. We’ll stay here.” There was a bit of bitterness in their voice now.

Eggabell took in a sharp breath, then stood up. “Make the most of her time.” She said quickly, then hurried off.

“Ech. I guess she didn’t know her that well, but jeez…” They rolled their eyes, looking away.

“…We forgot to get her to help with her bones.” Chandlo noted after a pause, still looking down at Shelda.

“I don’t think that’s going to help much, whatever’s used to help with cracks might just make the itching worse.” Finally, they turned to the woman they were around. “I’m sorry, Shellsy.”

“…” Again, she was unresponsive.

“Shelda?” The athlete asked, getting her attention. “I’m gonna spend all the time I can with you. Does that work?”

“…” There was no change in her expression other than the slightest relaxation. “…The mother blesses you.” She let out, then turned to her gazebo. “I need my rest.”

“Were you quiet on purpose when Eggabell was here?” Scarla asked, getting a small nod. “Alright then. Chandlo, get her up. I’m gonna get a blanket from my hut.” They turned around, walking off.

Over the next minute, Chandlo carefully helped the older woman back to her place, and leaned her against a support beam. The journalist returned with a red blanket, but was quickly stopped from putting it down.

“I won’t need it. Not now.” Shelda looked over at them, “Wait until tonight.”

They folded it and placed it next to her. “Scrapie…” They muttered as they sat down with the two, “How the grump would you have gotten that? There’s not another sheep on this island.”

“I also haven’t been with any other grumpus than my wife in fifty years, and she’s a cat.” She looked up, thoughtfully. “…I do hope someone will take care of her once the expedition is over.”

“You have a wife?” Chandlo asked, confused and surprised. “You never told us about her.”

She chuckled slightly. “Harpila’s one of the kindest grumps you’d ever meet. We’d go to town potlucks and she’d bring the best dish, and she’d always make extra to donate afterwards.” She looked happy while she spoke, then turned away, looking at her pile of belongings. “…Scarla, would you open that chest for me? The code is 1920.” She motioned at a very small personal chest.

The journalist did as asked, walking over and picking it up. When they turned the combination lock and popped it open, they were surprised to find a pile of small papers, envelopes, and a worn pencil. “Bring it here,” She beckoned them, “I have something to write to her.”

They handed her the chest then sat down again. They were surprised at how calmly Shelda was taking it, but considered that the behavior changes were numbing her. Watching her go through the letters, they realized that they were all addressed to Harpila. “Do you want one of us to take these to her once we’re all home?” They asked.

“I would,” She closed the chest after taking out a blank page and the pencil. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath, turning to Chandlo. “Chandlo, my child, I’d like you to do it.”

“-!” He took in a sharp breath, eyes widening a little. “…Yeah, yeah, I’ll do it! But, why me?”

She huffed a little. “Child, I know who you see me as. You’ve told me about your childhood.” She slowly held a paw out for him, “Harpila would be very happy to hear that someone saw me as motherly, and would love to share wisdom with you herself.”

He stared at her with wide eyes for a moment, and then a smile crossed his face. She smiled and turned away from him, looking down at the blank page. “…Oh, to find the words…” She mumbled.

“Would it be better if I left?” Scarla asked, looking away. “I think everyone else would want to hear about what’s happening.”

“You can go tell everybody.” She waved her paw at them in dismissal. “…And you can stay, my child.” She assured Chandlo, who looked ready to get up as well.

The two fell into silence as Scarla walked away, and Shellsy wrote a letter of her end.

The Human of 2104: A Species Transformed by Extinction and Adaptation

By 2104, humans are no longer the same beings they were 80 years ago. The combined crises of climate change, resource scarcity, and extreme reliance on digital technology have reshaped our bodies and minds. This future isn’t just about new technologies but about how humans have evolved to survive a radically altered planet.

The New Human Form: Adaptation Through Extinction

As the natural world around us dwindled, so did many of our conventional resources. The extinction of familiar foods, the scarcity of fresh water, and the collapse of ecosystems have forced our bodies to adapt in ways we could have never imagined.

🍽️ Food Extinction and Digestive Changes

By the 2080s, traditional agriculture became almost impossible due to severe climate shifts. With soil degradation and the collapse of pollinator species, natural foods like fruits, vegetables, and meat became scarce. In response:

Digestive Shrinkage: The human digestive system has become smaller and more efficient. We no longer consume solid foods in the way we used to. Instead, synthetic nutrient solutions and lab-grown food gels are the primary sources of sustenance. The stomach, once a large organ designed to break down varied foods, has shrunk, evolving to process these pre-digested, nutrient-dense substances quickly.

Loss of Taste and Appetite: As food became standardized and artificial, the human sense of taste dulled. The pleasure of eating, once a significant part of life, has diminished. Most people now consume for necessity rather than enjoyment, relying on AI-recommended nutrient packs based on real-time health data.

Physical Appearance: Humans are slimmer, with less body fat. The caloric intake is optimized, leading to leaner physiques. Muscle mass is maintained through electrical muscle stimulation rather than physical exercise, as most labor is automated.

💧 Water Scarcity and Dehydration Resistance

With freshwater sources dwindling, humans had to evolve:

Dehydration Adaptation: The body has become more efficient at retaining water. Sweat glands have reduced in number, making the human body less prone to sweating. Our kidneys have become more efficient at filtering and recycling water, minimizing waste.

Skin Changes: Human skin has become thicker and slightly waxy, designed to minimize moisture loss. The skin's texture is smoother but feels more like a protective membrane, evolved to withstand harsher UV rays and the arid conditions of a hotter Earth.

🏠 Housing and Physical Space Evolution

The disappearance of natural resources has transformed how and where humans live:

Adaptation to Smaller Spaces: As urbanization increased and space became limited, the human form adapted to a more compact lifestyle. People are generally shorter, with a smaller frame, making it easier to navigate confined spaces and consume fewer resources.

Sedentary Adaptation: The rise of virtual living means people move less in their physical environment. Legs and feet are less muscular, and the skeletal structure has evolved for comfort in sitting or lying down, as standing for long periods is less common.

🧠 Education and Cognitive Shifts

With knowledge instantly accessible via neural implants, the human brain has undergone significant changes:

Reduced Memory Capacity: The reliance on AI for information storage has caused a decline in human memory. The brain no longer needs to retain vast amounts of knowledge, as everything can be accessed on demand. Instead, the brain has adapted to excel in pattern recognition and creative problem-solving, the last strongholds of human cognition.

Decreased Attention Span: Constant digital stimulation has shortened the human attention span. People struggle to focus for extended periods, and tasks are designed to be brief and immediately rewarding, catering to this new cognitive pattern.

⚕️ Healthcare and the New Human Body

Human healthcare is now centered on preventative measures and body augmentation:

Integrated Biotech: Tiny biotech implants and nanobots circulate through the bloodstream, constantly monitoring health and making adjustments in real time. This has led to a decline in the human immune system's natural strength, as artificial immunity has taken over.

Cyborg Evolution: Physical enhancements are common. Many people have bionic limbs or sensory upgrades, like enhanced vision or hearing. The boundary between human and machine is blurred, and the human form now includes metal, plastic, and synthetic tissue as much as flesh and bone.

🌍 Environmental Impact and Physical Adaptation

The effects of climate change have reshaped the human body:

Heat Adaptation: Humans are now more resistant to extreme temperatures. The body has adapted to maintain a stable internal temperature despite external heat, thanks to changes in metabolism and genetic engineering for heat resistance.

Air Pollution Resilience: Lungs have evolved to filter out fine particulate matter. City dwellers have developed stronger respiratory systems, and many have artificial lung enhancements to help process polluted air.

🏳️‍🌈 Social Changes and Gender Fluidity

The evolution of social norms and technology has reshaped human identity:

Gender Fluidity: Biological gender distinctions are less emphasized, as hormonal modifications and gene therapy allow people to transition seamlessly between genders. The human body has adapted to be more androgynous, with features that can easily be enhanced or minimized based on personal choice.

Self-Expression: Physical appearance is now seen as highly customizable. People can change their skin color, hair texture, and body shape at will using biotech enhancements, making the concept of a "fixed" human form obsolete.

♿ Accessibility and New Human Abilities

In a world where the human body has merged with technology:

Enhanced Senses: People with disabilities are often given superhuman abilities through implants and neural enhancements. Blind individuals can "see" through echolocation devices, while those with mobility issues use exoskeletons that enhance strength.

Universal Communication: Neural interfaces have made verbal language almost obsolete. People communicate directly through thought-to-text transmission, bypassing the need for spoken words.

🌱 Sustainability and Human Ecology

The human body has adapted to be part of a closed-loop system:

Biodegradable Implants: Most biotech enhancements are designed to be biodegradable, reducing the waste produced by human bodies.

Symbiotic Relationships: Humans now host a variety of engineered microorganisms that help with digestion, air purification, and even energy production. These tiny symbionts help maintain the body in environments where traditional resources are scarce.

Final Thoughts: The Fragile Balance of Humanity

The humans of 2104 are not necessarily stronger or more intelligent than those of the past. Instead, they are hyper-adapted survivors, molded by a world of scarcity and digital excess. Their bodies are leaner, more efficient, and augmented by technology, but they have also lost many of the innate abilities their ancestors took for granted. The future human is a blend of biology, technology, and adaptation—proof that, no matter the challenges, the will to survive shapes the very essence of what it means to be human.

I am glad to have provided sustenance for you. 🍔

I, for one, am not going to defend Turgon. I don't like him for many reasons, one of which being his "join us or die" ultimatum. Which he conveniently lifted for Húrin and Huor. (I do think Eöl deserved death for murdering Areðel, but he only did that after he got the "join us or die", so I figure he decided he was going out with a bang. And Maeglin was his target anyway.)

That said, I do think that when you travel to a different place, you are beholden to those laws. But I also really don't like Gondolin in general, so I might be a little bit of a hypocrite here. (But I like Gondolin more than Doriath, or Orodreth's Nargothrond. So there's that.)

The Noldor did go to make war, or at least the Fëanárions did, but they seemed pretty content to keep their neighbors out of it. They only asked for help the one time (that we know of), and Þingollo rejected it. (I will address this bit a little later.)

As for Alqualondë, it could very well be a Lexington situation, where no one actually knows who killed first. And in the end, it doesn't really matter. The Noldor were the aggressors. (I think Olwë was a scumbag for leaving his kin to die and not allowing his people to help the Noldor build their own ships, things that I can't imagine all the people of Alqualondë would agree with, but one wrong doesn't justify another.) Although wouldn't it be ironic if the first blood was a Teler against Teler (a hypothetical dissenter vs a loyalist, or vice versa)?

But all of this goes into why Orodreth and Þingollo's refusal to help with the Union of Maeðros is so frustrating to me. They either couldn't see, refused to see, or refused to care how helping Maeðros here would benefit them more than it would hurt them. In the end, Doriath and Nargothrond got what they deserved. This was a case where "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" was actually a logical line of thought.

(Except Beleg, Mablung, Gwindor, Gelmir, and Gwin and Gel's dad. They deserved better. ☹️)

Honestly, I do get part of Eöl's perspective when he is snubbing Turgon in the court of Gondolin. "No right have you or any of your kin this land to seize realms or set bounds... this is the land of the Teleri, to which you bring war and all unquiet, dealing ever proudly and unjustly."

After all, by what right did the Noldor have kingdoms here? They did just show up out of the West and take lands for their own, and it was by their judgement that they decided the lands already occupied by the Teleri were "sufficiently respected". If a Teleri could no longer roam the lands freely (for example when Eöl was waylaid by the host of Curufin) has not some injustice occurred?

Counterpoint: the Noldor and Teleri were of course kindreds, so it is somewhat stingy to play ownership over lands and holdings. Beleriand was, after all, home of the Quendi long before there was Orc and Dwarf and Man to stake claim to any part of it. Is it not fair that the Teleri be expected to share space with the Noldor, their long-time friends and allies?

Counter-counterpoint: did not the Noldor give up the right to kinship and closeness to the Teleri at the Kinslaying? Can you claim that alliance means something when you have a history of readily slaying your allies at the first convenience?

This is a lot of rhetorical questions, but my point is that Eöl was onto something. The Noldor colonised and made kingdoms as though they had a right to do so, and did not show any humility in this endeavour at any point. Even were their attitude different, with the same actions, it might have been more palatable and acceptable.
