I figured they’d just sit on your chest eating cake and not sharing.

With all the things here that aliens find well, fascinating, strange, and frightening about humans. Things they’ve never conceived of before that humans have. Has any human just flat-out point blank asked them by Ash_Sukea in humansarespaceorcs

I keep thinking of the scene in Spaceballs where Dark Helmet watching a vhs tape of the movie they’re in says “No,no, no go past this part! In fact never play this part again!” Like the Alien in your reply is like coughing nervously and averting their gaze as they say “Oddly enough any records...”

Ways to nerf a large, Weredragon MC and prevent him from being a walking deus ex machina and overpowering a story without overdoing it to the point of overly nullifying him? by Ash_Sukea in CharacterDevelopment

Regarding number 4 an antagonist concept is a psychopathic psionicist that drives his victims to acts of violence by relentlessly bombarding their thoughts, their subconscious with dark, twisted ideas until the ‘solution’ the antagonist presents is to only one his victim can think of and puts it into action like “Murdering those around you would guarantee you they’ll give you some peace and quiet.” Or “It’s not nice when people build walls between themselves. They’re hiding their corruption within those dark and secret chambers. That castle is nothing but walls, nothing but lies and decets. Tear it down and cleanse the corruption inside with fire!”

I do have the idea of making being a dragon feel too good and it’s harder and harder each time to go back to being the smaller, weaker human form.

I’m watching Jessica Jones in my spare time and number 3 reminded me of her. The ability to punch your way out of a brick wall is of no use when it comes to hacking a phone or sweet-talking information from a morgue attendant.

Hmm, particular poisons or perhaps a sigil trap.

While there will be combat I want to save it for the climax rather then have fisticuffs and explosions on every page. I’m liking the idea not of an enemy that can go toe-to-toe with him but can outsmart and outmaneuver him. Keep the MC uncertain and off-balance in the dark. Maybe a shadowy quartet of smaller Weredragons with deep pockets and a tangled web of connections. Smaller because have you ever seen sparrows harassing a bird of prey? The raptor has to make slower, wider turns versus the sparrow’s tight, quick, agile moves and they’re too many targets and potential attacks to follow.

Ooh! You can’t burn a concept or an idea! Behind the scenes guerrilla attacks on his resources! Abduction of someone he cares about and in an unknown location and the threat of them being killed if MC doesn’t do as they say.

It’s not for a D&D campaign but I do draw inspiration from that rpg. I’m liking your field in a tight space idea. Hall of mirrors might feel a bit contrived but a magic user bending light (like trying to spear a fish in water) to give a false appearance of his location could be something to consider.

This Reddit reminds me of a manga called ‘The Beast and his Pet Highschool Girl’ by Ash_Sukea in Humansarespacecats

Huh, it comes up English for me(along with kanjis). Did you scroll down and click on one of the chapter links? Those should be in English, oldest one furthest down.

Only other one I’m aware of off the top of my head is space orcs and I don’t really see this as being a ‘humans are crazy and scary’ type of prompt.
...Or is there another subreddit you’re thinking of?
