Not sure who this is, what it is, but it looks Duros-like. "Secret Level" was announced and apparently it's a short film series by different game studios, showing extra lore from their various franchises. I'm looking forward to December! Keanu Reeves is in one of the clips. I'm always down for more Keanu awesomeness.
There's a dragon. Who doesn't like dragons?
And it looks like Riot Games (the studio behind League of Legends and Arcane) is submitting an entry. That's exciting. :D They have good stuff.

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 lolâŚ

Humans are a bad influence
Human: It really is an amazing coincidence...
Ztsaxhi: Hey guys, the food replicator glitched out and gave me way more food than it should. Want some? It's kind of like human "chips."
Käfavayarlop: Is it safe for my species?
Ztsaxhi: Let me check... no poisons but...oh damn, the food guide says it has capsaicin that's painful for you. Sorry.
Human: Ooh, Let me have some then!
Ztsaxhi: Go ahead.
Käfavayarlop: But wait, weren't we just saying that Käfavayarlopen and humans have weirdly similar taste budsâ
Human *bites into chip*: Wow! Hggh, that isâ REALLY spicy! You were not kidding about capsaicin.
Ztsaxhi: Are you okay?
Human: Fine! It's actually good, I swear. *eats the rest of the chip*
Käfavayarlop: Your face is turning red.
Human: Yeah, capsaicin does cause pain, that's the spiciness, but it's a good kind of pain. It adds to the flavor. *takes another chip*
Ztsaxhi: So "spiciness" is just pain?
Human: Kind of. It'sâIt's an acquired taste.
Käfavayarlop: ...I want to try.
Ztsaxhi: No!
Human: Let them! Though I will warn you this is not beginner friendly.
Käfavayarlop: *bites* Sacred Gonork! My mouth is on fire!
Human: You good?
Käfavayarlop: No. *takes another bite*
Ztsaxhi: No, don't keep eating it!
Käfavayarlop: But it's good.
Human: Is bovine milk safe for them? We probably need it.
Ztsaxhi: I'll check, yes it is. Wait, is this what all those jokes about humans pairing Ztsaxhi cuisine with milk are about?
Human: Yeah, it helps with the pain.
Ztsaxhi: Why would you even eat food that hurts you?
Human and Käfavayarlop: It's an acquired taste.
#humans are space orcs#humans are weird#speculative biology#alien biology#hfy#human and aliens#it was very important to establish that capsaicin would have a similar effect on the alien#because spiciness from capsaicin is a mammal thing#and this alien is not only not a mammal but isn't from Earth#so it couldn't possibly be a given unless some very noticeable convergent evolution happened

Humans are weird
Just had a thought about how weird humans are. So figure if an being wanted to visit earth but heard all of the "humans are space orcs" stories from his friends. But they still want to visit so they go buy a book on the human species and read how humans have different skin/languages/wear things called clothes (note the hypothetical species does not usually wear clothes.) so formulates an idea.
Cut to the alien visiting earth, wearing clothes that do not cover their fur or scales and their obviously non human eyes. Walking through cities feigning a foreign language. Getting a few odd stares but most people just ignore them and keep walking. Not because they don't notice the difference, everyone just assumes they are a furry.
Cut to the alien back on his ship, proudly telling his friends and colleagues how he managed to fool all the earthlings and no one even noticed.

DP X DC PROMPT #28
(#) = Notes at the end of post
âŚ
Chartreuse
Due to the high levels of ambient ectoplasm, all the citizens of Amity Park gained a permanent change in eye color. They don't glow or flare in response to rampant emotions like true ghosts or the halfas though. They're just an unnaturally bright yellow-green.
The thing is, nobody else on Earth has this eye color, and it's never been seen in the human race until the recently graduated Amity Parkers started branching out to other cities to find jobs.
Nobody paid this any mind at first, though. Many just thought the individuals liked strangely colored contacts or it was a trick of the light. It's not until Danny and Tucker are both hired for positions in Wayne Enterprises that questions start popping up.
At first, the other employees thought the two might be related. It could happen, it's not that strange. However, when both of them said they're nowhere near related, just childhood best friends, it left everyone confused. If they aren't related and they aren't wearing colored contacts, then what are the odds of too completely unrelated people having the exact same strange and unseen eye color?
After a while, everyone just stops asking questions. After all, both men are easy to get along with and are excellent at their jobs, so a strange eye color isn't really something to complain about. Their stares were just a bit more intense than most people, and honestly, they've seen stranger things.
It helps that they've started seeing other people with the same eye color popping up in celebrity, sports, and activist circles. (1)
However, It's not until the power goes out during a late meeting/presentation, and Tim Drake accidentally turns on and shines his cell phone light into Tuckers eyes, that he starts seriously digging.
Needless to say, the animal-like green shine of his pupils scared the shit out of him and got him wondering if two of his new employees were part of a previously unknown alien race that'd recently settled on Earth without anyone noticing. When he looks into the middle of nowhere town they came from, this idea is even further cemented when he sees every person he finds a photo of have the exact same shade of chartreuse eyes. Ignoring the ghost rumors and "sightings" as just a strange tourist trap for the strange little town to make extra income, he brings the info he found to the other bats and birds.
They aren't exactly welcomed when they go snooping around Amity Park, unfortunately... (2 & 3)
âŚ
Now. To make this a bit more cracky, when confronted, do Danny and Tucker just come clean or do they milk the idea of them being aliens for all it's worth? (4) Add in a few strange, but perfectly normal for them, things they do that have people scratching their heads and make the assumption even worse/more irrefutable. This includes the unexplainable eye shine Tim discovered.
âŚ
(1) Paulina became a supermodel and is coveted for her striking eye color and beautiful complexion. Dash became a coach for a well known college in Metropolis, while Kwan became a fitness trainer and sponsor for health related items that actually work, also partnered with the college Dash coaches at. Sam became a notorious environmental activist and is the enemy of many companys who are determined to turn the world into a toxic wasteland. With the help of Danny's parents, she's found many eco-friendly chemical compounds that dissolve many of the toxic substances damaging ecosystems around the world. Etc, etc.
(2) Ectoplasm exposure has made everyone a bit more territorial over the town, including their protectors. They don't need outside heroes/organizations interfering with their work and don't/won't take kindly to the sudden interest hero organizations gain over them and their strange little town. That hasn't worked out too well with other government sanctioned organizations in the past and they don't want a repeat, thank you.
(3) Maybe Team Phantom even established themselves right around the same time or even before the Justice League was formed and they just flew under the radar until now. Maybe Amity Parkers feel a bit superior due to their seniority in having an excellent team in the know about the supernatural/non-human side of the world/universe? Who knows? You pick! Amity Park has been through a lot by themselves, so it's no shocker if they have an extreme amount of solidarity towards those they call their own.
(3 cont'd) Also! Since Amity Park has become so rich and saturated in ectoplasm over the years, they were eventually annexed/became an outside part of the Ghost Zone. Jack and Maddy are border patrol and any ghosts coming through need a passport now. Amity Park is basically a vacation hub for ghosts? Ghosts can freely roam the streets, they just don't wreak havoc anymore. That'd basically be terrorizing their fellow citizens at this point anyway and that's a no no. That means jail time with Walker. Amity Parkers also aren't afraid anymore and in fact CAN hit back now. This does not stop the Bat Clan and eventually the Justice League from thinking they're a town full of aliens tho. Some are just more human looking than others. Or they've been on Earth and procreating long enough with humans that their hybrid offspring have also started looking more human, is the ongoing conclusion.
(4) The Anti-Ecto Acts are not an issue here! Team Phantom already dismantled and annihilated the GIW years before they even thought of leaving Amity Park on its own. Before graduating highschool even. Yes, Team Phantom is perfectly self-sufficient and able to handle their own problems and have kept the city-wide ghost infestation pretty isolated outside a few events that were handled quickly and with the world none the wiser. So the world is still pretty ignorant of the existence of ghosts/the Ghost Zone. Would Team Phantom and Amity Park prefer to keep it that way though?

Easy to forget that Jaal IS living his fantasy of "hot aliens come knocking at your door to whisk you away on space adventures in their technologically advanced alien ship"
Like we're the aliens this time around, coming to his home planet, getting him on a spaceship with a variety of hot aliens. In a single day, Jaal's life took a turn for the harem anime protagonist road.
This is a full on monsterfucking fetish to him, we are the monsters he wants to fuck.
And he's an alien enthusiast. He was writing "alien x reader" on angaran Wattpad since he was a teen.
#good thing he was born during first contact when it was socially acceptable for him to be as weird about aliens as his heart desires#because imagine if he was born during the peaceful âeveryone gets alongâ modern world where angara have already assimilated#He'd have this mystery urge to seek non-angara out and not know why or what to do with it#like an autistic person before the invention of trains#Kinda ironic since I don't care much for trains ^#Either way instead of a cool and brave risk-taker who paved the path for the first joint cooperation between angara and aliens#he'd be a nerd hyperfixted on human magazines for some reason he can't decipher#mass effect#jaal ama darav#âjaal#âcharacter specific#âmemes#âAndromeda#âalienfucker jaal

Hey guys iâm not dead â´Â ĎÂ â´ i come bearing an offering of Critter
This is an alien organism i've had drafts of for a long time now, and only now have i really properly done anything with it. Enjoy :)
To explain this animal properly, first i need to explain where they come from.
The planet they live on is freezing cold and essentially entirely ocean, with the surface of the sea separated from the open air by several kilometers of thick ice. the sea itself is warmed completely independently of the sun, relying entirely on geothermal activity (eg hydrothermal vents) to remain habitable. It is completely pitch-dark, with the only light coming from the odd bioluminescent organism of which there are few, as most animals don't even have eyes.
The Ramosapod (sometimes referred to as an "octospider" in common English) is a large aquatic alien invertebrate native here. They had initially adapted for an ambush predator lifestyle, hiding amongst rocks and clutter waiting for an opportunity to strike. However, as hydrothermal vents became more common across the planet and available energy increased, they began to orient towards a more social, intelligence-based lifestyle.
They have no ears and are basically blind, instead they mostly rely on smell and vibration to get around. Almost all of their languages are forms of tactile sign spoken with the tarsal bulbs tapped against another's body in a sequential order.
Their reproduction is similar to that of ferns seen on Earth, with a sequential alternation of generations (please look this up i can't explain it here) based on how many pairs of chromosomes are present. The sporophyte generation is the one pictured above, with the gametophyte being much smaller, almost microscopic pelagic animals.
As it stands, they have now built a reasonably sophisticated society for themselves across their freezing pitch-black ocean, with technology almost entirely derived from living organisms selectively bred or genetically engineered for specific tasks. Currently they're attempting to develop and fund the means to begin drilling through their extremely thick ice layer, to take a peek at what's up there.
Not many see it being particularly viable, however. We shall see.

Another human&aliens post: Humans and their ability to make themselves cry. (aka human art and its devastating but necessary effects)
Humans were one of the younger species around, yet somehow they had an absolutely ridiculous amount of art pieces.
Paintings, literature, music, movies, statues- there were so many different styles of art. They found out pretty quickly that humans tend to do it as a hobby, but they may also use their abilities for profit. For some, all it was was a hobby. For others? It was their entire soul poured out in the form of words on dog-eared pages or paint and a crisp new canvas. Not that they knew that.
The first time was when a human crew member had recently lost a family member. They found him painting in his room, paint on his finger tips and specs of it on his face. The paint of the canvas was just abstract lines and shapes and colors, but it felt like so much more. As one of the aliens looked at it, they couldn't help but feel a pang of grief for someone they didnt even know. It was like they could read between the lines of paint on canvas and understand the sadness and the anger and the grief they were feeling without it actually really being their grief. It was like sympathy but much much worse.
In the wake of loss, humans will create.
The second time was a with a human that liked to read. They would ever so often mention the book they were reading. Somehow all of which ended up being something too sad to seem like something someone could make. Why would they read it? Aren't hobbies supposed to be enjoyable?
The aliens excused it as another weird human thing they didnt know about. They needed it to hurt, they said. Needed to feel their grief. 'Its for when i need to feel but cant.' The aliens didn't understand a word.
In the wake of happiness, humans will choose grief just to feel it.
It's an outlet, it helps them release their emotions. At the same time it all helps them to absorb it.
#humans are space australians#humans make no fucking sense#humans are fascinating#humans are weird#humans are space oddities#in an endearinly sad way#might talk more about human art and aliens#it makes me feel things

Okay, so while I don't think this is actually all that surprising considering the DCU is a mostly live action project and we appearently have confirmation that Phosphorus will show up in liveaction, I do just wanna point out that Dr Phosphorus' design before he became a Glowing Green Skeleton looks almost EXACTLY like his voice actor Alan Tudyk

Idk I just think it's a neat detail :)
#also I saw a couple people... disappointed? I guess? by him being blonde so I figured this might clear that up a little at least#I dont actually know what any of the other cc characters VAs look like so I cannot confirm nor deny any similarities#I just know abt Alan Tudyk bcuz he's a very prolific voice actor and I watched Resident Alien once lmao#creature commandos#dr phosphorus#alex sartorius#alan tudyk#oh yeah I guess I should also tag this as#batman#cuz I tag everh fuckin... gentleman ghost related thing with batman and it would be weird if I didnt do the same for this guy#late night ramblings

:) Heyyy you gremlins of the Forest, seas and alleyways! I have sustenance for you
đđ§đ Siren Everlasting trio + Dan and Ellie đđ§đ

So now on to the plot! Danny with Sam and Tucker [+ fetus Dan and Ellie] have to leave their world and before they can get out the GIW got Danny by being turned over by his parents and in clear Dc X Dp fashion we traumatize the fuck out of this boy and after the traumatizing Sam and Tucker break into the GIW base and âTake care ofâ ( Kinda Yandere Sam and Tucker letâs go! ) and they take him ( he already has Ellie and dans core in him soâŚ.three for one deal ) and they head to clockworks place and explains the problem and what do they do now???
And for clockworks side of this he knows they canât stay in the ghost zone because even if Sam and Tucker are extremely practically ghost at this point and will most definitely be ghost when they die ( but that in the FAR future because â¨ecto-contamination⨠) but they are still considered human enough to the point they canât stay in the ghost zone so they canât stay with here but there is a deserted mostly water planet where the inhabitants ( this is where the presume aliens come in) are like the sea animals that live there but more alien and stuff and due to the ecto their body can adapt to the environment and with his powers he can make it almost instantly so that would work { sorry if this is a bit of word vomit I donât know what do word it }ďżźďżźďżź
And Sam and Tucker are chill with plan because they get everything they want with this
They get
To stay with the love of their lives (and afterlives)
get to have their children (yes they have already claimed Ellie and Dan as their children and NO ONE can stop them) safe and cared for
Have their Love heal and be safe
And with the added bonus with beatass new siren like forms that they can use to protect their love
So their good with this plan and Danny just wants him and his family ( Sam and Tucker his Lovers and Ellie and Dan his children) to be safe and happy so heâs also chill with this and they tell clockwork as much he opens a portal to said planet and as soon as Sam, Tucker and Danny step into the water they turn into their more siren/mermaid like form
Dannyâs form is a lot more white beta fish
Tuckerâs is more like a octopus
Samâs form looks more like a eels
They all are pretty big compared to humans or well normal humans, Now onto their home/cave it is in the more deep part of waters and Danny spends a lot of time in the cave due to being pregnant with Ellie and Dan + Sam and Tucker protectiveness, well Sam and Tucker are hanging around him or are getting foodâŚ.and thatâs all I can I think of for now but probably going to add more after post
Now onto the DC part of this so someone or something alerts the JL about a planet that is not supposed to have sentient life so a team ( Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, aqua man) go to check it out and they end up in a submarine and are trying to find where that sentient life is so this can go two ways for how The everlasting trio and the JL meet
The FIRST way that the team is in the submarine and get a little bit to close to the cave for Samâs and tuckers likings ( which is no where near Danny and the babyâs did I mention that in these forms that their instincts kick into overdrive and add that with pregnant Lover not a good combo ) and so Sam and Tucker take the only option in is situation which is slap it around enough so whatâs in side of it to drown *Cue Instincts yelling for them to take the bodyâs and feed them to pregnant mate* and for the JL point of view in this their just waving their way through the water trying to find what is making the sensor go off and all the sudden their being beating around the water by the looks of it two giant alien mer-people that are clearly pissed off about something and this goes on for a few minutes and the submarine is about to start taking on water if the mer-Aliens donât stop hitting the sub!!! And while this was happening Danny is taking a nap ( which Sam and Tucker were to before the JL showed up ) and Danny wakes up because he hearsâŚ.yelling??? So still a bit tired he gets out from the cave to find where they are and he finds them beating a sub around like their playing catch so of course he interrupts and now back to the JL view point they see a third mer-alien and it seems to be upset about something and almost immediately the other two stop hitting the sub to go comfort the third oneâŚ.that is showing and they all have this collective thought ��So that why they were so upset! We got to close to the babyâs!â And thatâs about it for the first way this could go
The SECOND way is that Danny just swimming outside the cave ( Sam and Tucker are doingâŚsomething ) and he comes across this sub and of course heâs curious about it so he goes to check it out and for the JL this showing mer-alien just comes up to the sub and starts to swim around it and seems curious about it while letting out chips and hums ( in these forms talking sounds like chips/hums/growl ) and when they try to make contact they seem to understand what their trying to convey until their mates show up and their very upsetâŚ
And now time for the details of design for Danny Iâm thinking this

But instead of legs because you know⌠mer person ( and the jewelry is given to him by Sam and Tucker instincts go brrr)

And this is is the kinda fish Iâm thinking Dannyâs form takes after
For Sam Iâm thinking but just get rid of the bag and lantern and cling the dress around her hips and make it shorter and that really what Iâm thinking

For the top {I really canât find anything for tucker and Sam that Iâm thinking for this so..} and this is the pic for the tail but of course make it purple and blackâŚyes I know there are pics of purple and black eels this one is the search that looks like itâs not going to steal my soul ďżź

And for tuckerâŚ.I really canât find what Iâm thinking about so you just get words this time so his just shirtless thatâs it maybe he has a few arm bands and some fabric around his waist but that really it for his thought process

Oh and hereâs the pic that Iâm thinking his mer half takes after
And thatâs about it for my thoughts hope you gremlins like it byeeee

humans are not the default race
In every scifi and fantasy setting with """races""", humans are the default.
If you're lucky, we're the short-lived, fast-reproducing pests that are all white Europeans for some mysterious reason, and also have disproportionate rates of being raised as undead because we can't be bothered to make zombie dwarf minis or animate a vampire gnome that has to jump up to bite a tall person's neck.
(We've got BOTH human AND elf skeleton warriors! Oh, hey, I just changed the scale, now it's a hobbit skeleton OR a giant skeleton! Such skeleton diversity! No, Khajiits can't be bone boys, a skeleton with a tail and a cat skull is just TOO SPOOKY)
I feel like a lot of people don't realize that we (Homo sapiens) have the longest running endurance of any land animal. Being able to run a marathon is not normal.
(It's because we evolved the very unusual hunting strategy of Slowly Chasing Gazelles While Throwing Sticks At Them Until The Gazelle Collapses From Exhaustion Then Casually Walking Up And Bashing Their Head In With A Rockâ˘).
Even Neanderthals probably couldn't match our tenacity (they were considerably stronger and tougher though, but by no means dumber judging from the size of their brain cavities{which was bigger than ours actually})
(the evolutionary Neanderthal hunting strategy was probably something like Jumping Out And Stabbing A Wooly Rhinoceros With A Pointed Stick, Then Getting Punted 12 Feet Into a Tree But Getting Right Back Up And Doing It Again Until It Dies Because You Have Superhuman Bone And Muscle Density. And If You Do Break One Of Your Unbreakable Bones Your Homies Will Take Care Of You Until It Healsâ˘
[Neanderthal skeletons are found with healed fractures surprisingly often despite said bones being much stronger and denser than ours, they just kept evolving denser bones until they couldn't even swim without sinking like a rock, but they still got broken all the time])
So given that we, Homo sapiens, actually literally used to be the "species that specializes in sheer endurance, determination, and unbreakable fucking will", I want more fantasy and scifi settings where we are that way! I think the only setting where that's even remotely the case is Undertale. We're not just the "default" intelligent species!
The only reason we're good at everything is because we can make complex tools and can learn and aren't bound by instinct. Which, by definition, all fantasy races would also be able to do. Otherwise, they'd just be considered animals. Like trolls or Redditers.
The "default" species should just be really good at making tools and quickly adapting, but kinda suck in every other category. So I guess gnomes or goblins are the default d&d race.
And Humans are certainly not the Tolkien "that one race that lives short lives and reproduces faster than everyone else and is good at farming" because:
A) we actually do already live relatively long lives for mammals of our size and also GIVING BIRTH CAN KILL US, AND IF OUR PARENTS DON'T RAISE US JUST RIGHT THAT CAN ALSO KILL US, WE ARE SPECIFICALLY VERY BAD AT REPRODUCING
B) we are in no way adapted to farming, and most of our modern health and societal issues stem from the fact that we aren't meant to farm or be civilized, but do it anyways.
We only farm because it helped us survive the ecological collapse at the end of the ice age, now we're in too deep to go back.
When the ice age ended (quite abruptly) the ecosystem couldn't provide for hunters and gathers anymore, a bunch of things were getting heat stroke, sea levels rose, hibernation and bloom cycles and reptile gender ratios were out of wack, predators died out because herbivores died out because plants weren't doing well. Decomposers like vultures and worms had a field day (Until they didn't [RIP condor population]). It would take a while for a new ecological equilibrium to emerge and for evolution to fix things.
But farming doesn't need any healthy ecosystems except for the soil and pollinators, mostly, so that still works. And farming makes more food meaning you can have more people. So now there's more people.
But that also means you can't ever go back to foraging without all those extra people dying of starvation. So, anarcho-primitivism would technically be the most deadly ideology if implemented, and therefore is not based, unfortunately. Here's hoping for an apocalypse to do that for us! (I would not survive it)
Fun Fact: those isolated tribal societies like the Sentinelese that still do hunting and gathering only spend 15-20 hours a week doing that and another 20 doing camp chores, and the rest of their time forming meaningful relationships and not being depressed.
Notice how most of what they do as "work" (hunting, fighting, hiking, berry/mushroom/etc picking, cooking, camping, arts and crafts, oral history/story telling) are things that we need to do during our limited free time as "hobbies" just so that our "work" doesn't drive us insane. Thus leaving less time for relationships, etc.
If we were actually good at farming or industry or civilization, then things like math and repetitive manual labor wouldn't be work. They'd be the most fun activities.
Sure, these foragers die young, but so did medieval peasant farmers who were even less healthy since they had much less diverse diets (a lot of carbs) and got plague more often thanks to cities and their close proximity to livestock. Our modern sedentary lifestyle is bad too.
Hobbits are suited to farming (also Entwives I guess). Hobbits are quite good at it, at the cost of not being as good at much else (besides going unnoticed and throwing for some reason), they inherently enjoy farming life quite a bit and most* aren't haunted by the sense they should be anything else, like we are. *(The Took family got that Call To Adventure 'tism)
We only think that we're not special or can't be anything other than what we currently are because we no longer have anything else to compare ourselves to. The Neanderthals and Denisovans died out tens of thousands of years ago and the fucking aliens are somewhere, presumably
We are special, only we survived.
But at the cost of becoming the species equivalent of an abandoned child raised by wolves. We fantasize about these things because we all know that we shouldn't be alone. But our perceptions of ourselves are twisted by our trauma and lack of socialization.
Personally, the realization that having lost our family was probably our fault makes that hurt so much worse.
