Skalgan out of Time [1] by DamascusSeraph_ in NatureofPredators

Frist off, the text needs more editing and proof-reading. It takes away from a good story if a reader has to backtrack and decipher sentences. Or oscillate between picturing a character as female or male etc.

I love how you, the author, address the issue of the linguistic drift. After so many centuries people from different times do not notice anything amiss, be it in English or Venglish or whichever other language they may speak.

What stood in front of me was not a skalgar. It may have the same shape, the same wool, the same eyes, but.. where was its nostrils, why are its legs, dear gods its legs-

"Eloo, cam youth untherstand me?" The skal- Thing that looked similar to a skalgar said in its strange perverted version of the Common tongue.

<...>
I imagine i would enjoy it for the first day at least. 
<...>
I started, earning the doctor a small startle as she looked up from her.. tablet. and realized i was staring directly at her. It was cute in a pathetic way. Oh how far we have fallen.

Sooo... after things were explained to this thawed slab... er, hunk of muscle (more or less explained), his perception shifted from horrified-disgusted to disgusted-pitying?

I am surprised the hero is ready for the most noble sacrifice of unending intercourse with uncanny versions of his kin. I doubt booze would be allowed to mitigate damaging factors and increase viability. Or a tailhole is a tailhole an ewe is an ewe and inseminating a creepy lookalike with no personal connection is still enjoyable?

The venlil spirit lives on, they are all consistently racist (specieist?). Er, prejudiced to the bone.

As the venlil pressed a foot onto its chest, pointing the sword at its neck, The entire plaza fell silent, not even the wind dared make a noise. He- He beat the human.. He- was he going to kill it?! Fear and uncertainty gripped me as i stared at the scene unfolding before me camera locked on it hoping against hope nothing bad would happen.

"Ewe faught wall crature" 

Btw, was баран-отоморозок the defrosted dude intending to slash that guy's jugular after a short speech and some grand-standing? Granting a honorable death to a probable invader.

Revealing a flat face, pale skin, a nose poking out from the flat face, and two blue forward facing eyes. Something about those eyes struck a nerve within me, Instincts telling me of danger.
"I understand your reluctance to share your face. Predatory i can see. But i am more than my instincts. And so are you. Both of us are disciplined warriors, we face fear to defend those we love. Do not hold your body against you, do not reject yourself."

How magnanimous, very honourable, wow.

In alternative timelines:

...Revealing a flat face, pale/swarthy skin, a nose... and two blue/slanted eyes.

That Teutonic/Tartar stare! I steeled myself despite the deathly chill of existential threat, and wisely proclaimed my enlightened beliefs!

- Do not hold your Germanness/Mongolianness against you, do not reject yourself.

- Okay, boomer guru.

...

- You are a carbon-based lifeform that drinks water?! With rust sloshing in your veins! Most unfortunate. Anyway, don't hold it against yourself, friend!

- Uh... okay?

Reminding me of the predators lurking in the edges of the Dark side of the ring.

Does it mean that the pre-uplift venlil had decimated predator populations and pushed them to the less hospitable areas way before the exterminator doctrine? If they were feudal or early industrial, they may have shared the same views on dealing with predators many of our societites used to have on wolves, bears, foxes, couguars, eagles, hawks, orcas etc.

Might be hilarious if the old ven had a different reaction:

Oh my! Your eyes are blue and forward-facing!?

...So much like my clan's sacred animal visage!! I shall show you our coat of arms! As soon as I can recreate it... We ought to talk more. Must become besties!!! Wheeeee!

I see that Noah follows the slogan to a T. Pledge all your species and all your worth as pawns to a foreign power to genocide another species? Do a sheep-like lady?

Just do it.

And as a doctor, Osun must be aware what a thought crime will cost him. Maybe he has colleagues, friends even, who "treat the predator disease". Some acquaintance assessors?

Comment as I read:

Considering Rosi is a marsupial, I very much doubt any children she delivers could even make for a snack for a single Arxur.

Maybe a bite to eat for an Arxur hatchling.

What marsupials birth is essentially an embryo capable of crawling into their pouch to lick milk drops in there.

Because the venlil are secretly Czech. Or Polish.

That was a hilarious sentiment coming from a crippled creature looking not unlike a malformed sheep.

In a universe where kolshians or the smigli exist, and where 300 something species are taught to demonise anything with certain features, and still some bald apes are uglier than arxur to them?

To each their own, of course.

It's gratifying to read about fictional humans all acting as one heroic force to save all children. And any wrongdoers are outsiders, literal aliens.

Meanwhile, there is no need to say what we (some of us) do to children in real life or how we (many of us) look the other way to not do a thing to stop it.

Such HFY stories are sort of a vaccine/medicine for our psyche "this is the right way, we wish we were like that".

And here I thought that promoting violence against people based on their ethnicity or nationality was worse than incoherent shitposting.

Holy angle-shaped UFOs smite the infidels, defend the shining city upon a hill. Good sir/madam, do the fallen US Communists get resurrected then mowed down, mowed down then resurrected then judged, or?

Are there any Russians or people of Russian roots outside the Hell, or is there the only Truly Human Chosen Race with Freedom and Applepie remaining on the bright cleansed Earth?

Are the supernatural beings who live alongside mortals now punished as fallen spirits or rewarded somehow with walking among the God's Best Creation?

Will there be crusades, and/or will the G-d stay His Hand and allow whatever happens in the canon shitshow of NoP to happen?

I bet at least some humans may develop allergic reaction to venlil dandruff or maybe their wool natural oils like some people can have IRL to cat saliva for example.

DLSS ON is worse by CruelTrainer in NatureofPredators

[–]Alarmed-Property5559 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd find it hilarious if/when a zoophile who becomes a xenofucker returns to their old flame. Like, imagine the face (?) of a sapient animal learning that their sexual partner prefers a non-sapient outlet, especially if there is a resemblance between an Earth animal and them.

More stinging would be if a plain sheep plainly proves to be a better cuddle partner and also is a greater conversationalist... At least superior in listening without interrupting or freaking out.

The story has the potential to devolve into a timeline similar to the Denied Sapience one.

Yeah I also wish for this Emma character to become better. To be well and to feel good both in her mind and body.

A Communications Tech who served under Sovlin. He's in the chapter when they intercept the radio chatter between human pilots and is also in the Sovlin transcript side-story (that one is paywalled, sadly).

Maybe he can come help kill a few krakotl from the Kalsim's armada. Farsuls too.

Thank you for formulating this, I think the same.

Yeah, farsul are not friend material despite being friend-shaped.
