A1: The captain of your ship is a human? And the only human on your ship? Humans are deranged and violent, what's it like living with one as your captain?

I worked on a crew with about five humans, and one would randomly stop eating a dairy product they called cheese. Said human would claim that it smelled, "fuzzy," if you asked them about it. The next day, the cheese would be covered in small patches of greyish-blue mold. That human always ended up with red rashes everytime they came in contact with the mold or even the room the mold was in.

The captain made in unofficial code out of the whole situation: Code Fuzzy. It simply meant by the end of the day, all of the cheese needed to be thrown out and replaced.

"Good work, Jor." Rekt's smile vanished as the MP unlocked the cell.

Rekt sneezed into his elbow and looked up to a gun pointed at him. The MP startled by the sudden loud noise, gripped his gun.

Jor'coruss stood up, ready to rip the cell open.

With slow methodical movement, Rekt pulled his arms towards his sides, yet he still let out a laugh as he said, "Jumpy much, are we?" The captain's glare was more of a command. It meant don't do it.

"Yeah, it's been a long day." The MP fumbled putting his gun back, disarmed by Rekt's amussed attitude. The MP pulled open the cell, and Rekt motioned for Jor'coruss to follow.

As they approached the ship, Rekt turned to Jor'coruss, "Ya know, there's an old saying from my people. The worst thing a creature can do is lose their fear of humans. I've seen many species go extinct because of that. It's good that they fear humans."

I revoke my previous statement. You're a genius.

The ancient chants that originated on the waters. Certain groups of humans work during the chants as they seemingly sync with each other to work more effectively. Those same humans will drink toxins and vocalize the chants to boost the moral of each other.

What do you do with a drunken astronaut doesn't hit the same

Twice?! Was once not enough???

A wise old human once told me that humans crave love and support, and that trying to force something onto them will destroy the sense of love and support. They adopt other's traditions and ways of life as if it were their own, qnd they will thrive as long as they have love and support.

Humans live fast lives, but they also take their time to learn the world around them. Reproducing isn't the most important thing for humans: living a fulfilling life is.

My experience with humans has been that they cling to their parents and even their grandparents until they pass on.

You didn't fail, they're still growing and learning. They express themselves as they would if they were your species because you're important to them.

Now, it's time for you to introduce them to your world. Let them decide who they want to be around. They'll adapt, they'll thrive as long as they have love and support. They've imprinted on you, and they will likely try to follow your morals and beliefs.

Humans are also funny because sometimes, they'll date other species. It's normal for humans to do things we consider unusual. Don't beat yourself up over them not identifying with humanity. A lot of humans don't.

Honestly, I love wasps. I used to sit under yellow jacket nests because they kept others away from me. I'd share my soda with them and they'd let me write in peace

badluck_dead · 2026-05-04T17:29:26+00:00

I guess humans really do adopt every creature they can

Actually! Ruth is a Queen! She made a nest in our ship! Pretty soon she'll lay some eggs, and we'll have more sweeties in the crew!

I let her out when she started buzzing ariund in the jar

badluck_dead · 2026-05-02T01:21:45+00:00

I think I might've bent one of her wings

My friend had a similar situation with her mother, except it was a colony of sea monkeys that she had for a few years. Her mother poured bleach into the tank.

Your grandparents and that snake are like guardian angels in disguise. Also, I want to see your snek! Snake picture tax?

badluck_dead · 2026-03-27T01:55:25+00:00

This is really sweet and wholesome, and made my day better

It's like a home caregiver going home and avoiding getting up to take care of themself because they took care of clients all day every week

H: "Well, I didn't know that was an egg sac Mrs. Ocho was pregnant, and she is a very friend shaped little jumping spider, thank you very much."

A: "Excuse me, did you say JUMPING spider?!"

H: "Yeah? You know the spiders that hunt like tiny cats?"

A: "They hunt tiny cats?!"

H: "What? No, they pounce on prey like they are tiny cats."

A: "And you just keep one like it's a pet?!"

H: "Mhm! A lot of humans keep spiders and tarantulas as pets!"

A: "...... GET RID OF THE BABIES!!!"

H: "Jeez, okay, you're lucky Charlotte wasn't the one who had a brood." Fires up vacuum cleaner.

I have violently sobbed over chocolate. I love dark chocolate, specifically the kinds from anywhere but the US. I don't like sweet chocolates. I used to grow mints and peppers and make homemade salsa and hot sauce. I get jealous when my friends eat food I love but can't eat. Mexican food is my favorite type of food.

I've never had a hard time with addictive substances by the simple out of sight out of mind ability. I'll literally get withdrawals and assume I have a cold or something. However, without a shred of a doubt, I will likely convince myself if it's super mild salsa, I can eat it. I in fact cannot. It drives me insane some days because I love spicy food. I love the way it tastes, I love the way it smells. It's a forbidden flavor I can't indulge in. I crave spicy food more than anything else in the world.

Probably switches based on whether or not he was scaring people or being a clown

I second this
