"Humans as space orcs/space Steve Irwins" is always a fun worldbuilding exercise, but imagine if our behavior is fairly normal but something we take for granted is utterly alien to the galaxy at large.
Like, what if Earth was one of the handful of biomes to crack photosynthesis but none ever saw it adopted and adapted to the scale we see it one earth.
Chemotrophic tree analogs that fill the role of mushrooms on earth, whole forests of the dead just how things are done.
The idea that the forest can be a living place is utterly shocking to the august civilized peoples.
Sure, says the galaxy's archivists, photosynthesis works on the cellular levels and there are some impressive bacterial mats on Cestus XI, but a field of wild grass is beautiful and terrifying simply because it's so far out of their experience and context.
okay i'm locking these in early i know what's gonna happen i'm calling it now
here's another one. colors are fun
Hello, it’s actually come as a shock to me that you are more than 50 years old. I had guessed you’d be somewhere around your late 30 (38.5 specifically) although I know that your works had been published earlier than what I guessed.
Anyways, just wanted to add we have the same birthday Friedrich Schiller so that’s cool!
My first books were published in 1985. I'm practically a historical artefact at this point.
sounds pretty straightforward
war criminal pussy got me acting unwise
this sitcom that is playing on the tv (I'm watching youtube and only vaguely listening, it makes me feel less anxious) is doing an episode where the generic housewife's ex boyfriend is mentioned. nothing in particular except for the fact that his name is Chad and he wrote her poetry about her eyes (so the husband writes poetry about her ears or smth idk). whatever but my point is that now I'm imagining this guy as the himbo from emperor's new groove and keep snorting as I laugh about it
