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

Trying to settle something with a friend.
Life Series Winners as Ghosts AU:
Grian: The longest dead, died in a revolutionary war against a corrupted king. Stabbed in the chest. Overly critical of every other ghost in the house, self proclaimed leader.
Pearl: The daughter of a noblewoman who was married off to the man who owned the house. She was convinced that the two of them were in love until he strangled her in her sleep, just aiming to gain her inheritance.
Martyn: A pirate who used the house as a safehouse in between adventures, until he was found out and he was shot in the back of the head. Did try to usurp Grian as the leader of the ghost at one point, failed pathetically.
Joel: A nascar racer who retired in the house after years of continuous victorys brought him fame and fortune. Died when a rival put a bomb in one of his cars.
Cleo: A fitness instructor from the 80’s. Moved into the house with her two sons. Poisoned by her jealous ex husband to get back at them for leaving him.
Scar: Cleo’s son who returned to the house in the future to investigate the death of his mother all of those years ago. He’s driven mad by the investigation and he hangs himself, at least that’s what everyone seems to think.
Scott: The most recent tenant of the house. Bought it because the housing market is shit but Bdubs wanted to sell the house no matter what he got out of it because of all the bad memories it held. Tried renovating it and had the ceiling crash down on him.
Jimmy: The most recent tenant of the house. The ghosts are frantically trying to get him to leave because everyone who lives in the house seems to die. Jimmy however, doesn’t care what the ghosts say, because he just thinks he’s hallucinating.
It's the finale of the next life series. There are only a handful of people left. The Winners Soulmate theory must be true, right? Etho takes a deep breath and catalogues his opponents. He sharpens his sword and reads the death messages in the chat. Something rustles behind him. Etho turns around. It's LDShadowLady with a gun. She shoots him off the edge of the cliff and his body falls dramatically and gracefully over the edge, hitting the last two people left and killing them on impact. Lizzie cheers. Shen then immediately falls off the same cliff by complete accident. She wakes up in the Winners realm, inside a car, and blinks. "Lizzie," Joel tears up next too her in the drivers seat. "Do you want to run the other Winners over in a car for all eternity with me?" Lizzie tears up and says yes. They drive off into the sunset and immediately hit Scott Smajor
No, it’s a face of concern and dismay. Rotate 90 degrees to the left.
This is how the golden age of piracy ended.
This is all made for fun of course. All the lifers can be on whatever teams they want forever and should feel no pressure to mix it up.
