Been reading a bunch of humans are space orcs related things and it’s reminded me how much I love the concept.

The base concept, humans are actually really scary/unique to aliens, already has so much world-building built into it ‘cause now you have to figure out what kind of intergalactic society would find humans strange/dangerous. How you go about it all really depends on what aspects of humanity you want to explore, that’s really the heart of the concept. It’s a fun way to write an outsider pov on humanity and very explicitly explore some interesting themes while also getting to fuck around with space sci-fi stuff!

Idk, I’m having writing thoughts and may have binge read too much stuff. I just like aliens and contemplations on humanity okay?

#humans are space orcs #I tend to gravitate to the more positive takes on humanity #cause yeah we do war and violence and so so so many terrible things #but we also do so many wonderful kind and amazing things #the duality of the potential for increadable cruelty and increadable love #and some humans choose to be cruel #but some humans choose to love #and isn’t that fascinating?
