Curate, connect, and discover
You know how must animals don’t look that different when they are infants to adults? Yeah, that. But then we get to animals such as insects and frogs. As you may (or may not) know, bugs start out as these worm-like things called larvae and when there’re adults, they become what we know them as. Same with frogs, but instead of being worm-like, they start as the fish-like tadpoles. What if the aliens we encounter work just like that? What if they start out as puffballs, worm-like, or something else and become a humanoid or something. And when we show them out young, they might be surprised (Assuming all life on their planet works that way).
So a xeno and a human male where in a bar talking about their species and looking at each other‘s photos.
Human: “And that’s my niece, Holly.”
Xeno: “She’s pretty small for an adult.” “Never knew your kind can get so small.”
Human: “No, no, no, she’s still a baby.”
Xeno: “Really?”
Human: “Yes.”
Xeno: “Well, that’s interesting, I thought your kids looked way different.” “Just look at my kids.”
The xeno then showed a picture of two light green, round, fluffy orb-like cretures with no showed facial features.
Xeno: “These two are my children, aren’t they cute?”
The human then looks surprised.
Human: “Ah… I guess…” “Can’t believe your kind looks like that.”
Xeno: “I’m just as surprised as you are.” “Now can I show you more of ‘em?”
Human: “Sure, why not…?”
(Yeah, I know the “Xeno and human talking and stuff” part isn’t the best example of writing, but hey, I tried. Please give me feedback so I can improve.)
Gaia is the creator and destroyer of man.
Every human being (who may or may not be half human) automatically belongs to her. They remain hers until the human being decides whether or not to submit to another God/ Goddess.
She is a chaotic neutral. She desires that humans adapt to everything and outperform everyone else. She despises it when her "children" come second to anything. It makes no difference whether they enjoy it or not.
Humans are considered her because she created them by ripping skin and using her own blood. When she realized that wasn't going to be enough to make the alive , she tore tiny pieces of her soul and stuffed them into Human bodies in order for them to become sentient.
The gods and goddesses are whispering that she did this to use humans as a weapon. Some believe she made them adaptable in hopes that when they have children, they will be stronger than their forefathers. As a result, humans can produce children with nonhumans.
Once a human begins to completely worship her, there is no turning back. For her, either you worship her or you will eventually.
The tests she subjects humans to are grueling. Most people will not be able to get past the tutorials of the trials she has put them through, but that is the point. They must devise strategies to get through those difficulties without her or outside assistance
Even if they fail, they can try again. She says, and I quote "It makes no difference what my children do; if they believe they are ready, they are. They cannot turn their backs when it becomes too difficult. They will not be a coward because I am not one."
Once they have passed her trials, their job is to ensure that other humans come to her because "after all, mother hates it when her child calls someone else mother." Their job also entails ensuring that they have children so that they can study under her and only her. She teaches them not to bow their heads to anyone. Especially not her.
She teaches her children that they are gods, and that they do not need to bow their heads to any other God but themselves, and that anyone who says otherwise deserves to be killed, including the gods.
Even with those small murmurs of her using humans as weapons for some unknown purpose, some gods believe there is a place with billions of humans. On a world that even the darkest of dark gods will not make nor enter, where the humans she obviously loves ripped themselves apart for her fav-love. I ment love. When they die, they end up at her house, where she rebuilds them and sends them back. To fortunately or unfortunately repeat the cycle. (Ps this is my first story so let me know how it is.🥹)
no >:3
Aliens have such different gender and biology from humans that none of them menstruate. So imagine this.
Alien: Human Steve, why did I find blood on the lavatory floor?
Steve: Oh, that's just Karen.
Alien: What??
Steve: Human females bleed from their reproductive organs once every month for five to seven days.
Alien: wHAT?!
Steve, calmly: Yeah, they can lose enough blood in a lifetime to kill ten grown men.
Alien: WHaT ?!?!
Karen, walking in: Steve, I need A FUCKING break. And chocolate. And a heating pad. I'll be in my sleeping quarters. Also, I threw up.
Steve: Okay, take the day off, I'll bring you your stuff in a bit.
Alien: *jots down in notebook* Human females are indestructible and fearsome. Regard them with respect.
EDIT: I swear, if this is the thing that makes me Tumblr famous, I’m gonna blow a braincell. And I don’t have many of those left, so…
