Humans and aliens

HAW Comp 20 - Sergeant Stabby

Alien: So you're saying that human brains sometimes just... malfunction? And see threats that aren't really there? Alien: And then the human keeps living and doing things anyways??? Human: Yup Alien: Woahhhhhh. Woahhhhh, Humans are badass. E fireandwonder Aliens would probably have fundamentally different responses to trauma than humans would, like- their brains. would be so fundamentally different. at a basic chemical and structural level we'd have to relearn everything, in this scenario the alien species is REALLY BAD at continuing to function with even a slightly impaired brain, and deals with it with LOTS OF BABIES, Oh yeah great grandpa died three years back when he got really surprised and WHAT DO YOU MEAN, THAT A HUMAN GOT STABBED THROUGH THE HEAD AND CONTINUED TO LIVE I DON'T BELIEVE YOU THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE, I bet they are all pregnant all the time and when they randomly die the baby eats their way out of the corpse, they are insectoid and look a lot like praying manti and they REALLY FREAK OUT THEIR HUMAN FRIENDS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENS, there is a sort of generational memory that happens which is how they managed to develop tech at all being so fragile, so when the creatures get depressed or homesick or manic and die it's not like their human friends have lost them forever, except for how it sort of is, (via @songofsunset) E songofsunset PLEASE IMAGINE THE FIRST TIME AN ALIEN HAS ONE OF THEIR HUMAN 'so hey, that was a great funeral, cool outfits, always glad to learn more about your culture and stuff. So, when is she coming back?' *She- she's not coming back' "Yeah, not as Megan, but when is her replacement coming back?" "We're- not hiring anyone new for a couple weeks???' 'no no no, you're not getting what I'm saying- I want to ask her about that book she lent me- can I keep it for another week or two, or does her new version want it back?' The humans stare at the alien and just. slowly start to figure out what the alien is saying. The alien shuffles nervously, their six spindly legs making a skritching noise that echoes in the cold chapel. Finally, the kindest of the humans takes the alien aside and- 'hey. Us humans don't back when die. Not like do.' - iFunny
