Why Do People Do This It Wrong  We Are All The Same We Are All Humans

the person is a mood

To all my black followers and friends, stay safe.

Also, I would like to add that black lives have always mattered, will always matter.

It’s awful that we even have to say that because it should be a given. However, we need to say it loud and clear for the racists.

We cannot be silent. 

Humans: When they growl, you should run

(@skullyfuck thanks for the growling prompt)

The creature rolled and, improbably, stood on its hind legs.

That was impressive, few aliens could take a swipe from a mature Bagron warrior. Maybe it was true, the Humans were hardly, but it had no visible claws and there were no teeth or horns to be seem. Maybe it was the artificial over armour that hid the details or maybe the rumours were a fabrication and Humans were not as impressive as the Alliance wanted their enemies to believe.

The commander waved his uppermost arm in a signal for the Human to be dispatched. They would find out more when they did an autopsy.

Seconds later, the commander was staring in horror. How did it do that?! It picked up a fully armoured warrior and threw it. That much strength was scarcely possible, forgetting anatomically impossible for a Bagron to copy, and all the worse that it somehow threw the hapless warrior directly into its squad mate. The Human then heaped on the indignity by stamping on their exposed mandibles, a horrific way to kill.

On reflection, maybe ordering the execution of the Human’s Alliance companions in front of it and saving for last was a bad mistake.

The Commander realised its biggest error when the Human turned to focus on it. Then came a noise which made it instinctively pull its shell plates round its thorax, a movement normally considered cowardly but in this case wise.

The Human let out a low, menacing, growl.

The Commander dropped down onto all eight limbs and fled.

The growl was dropped for a shudder. “Fucking sentient spiders. When I get home I’m requisitioning a flamethrower.”

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

Not Deer Phenomenon

Humanity has many "powers"—yet again, I fail to bring myself to explain the quotation marks. As the humans would say, figure that shit out yourself—, and to me their uneasiness is one of the most fascinating.

Maybe it's a result of their Paranoia, but humans just know when something isn't what it looks like. They can absolutely be deceived, of course, and the ability to detect deceit varies greatly from human to human. But when something doesn't look, doesn't sound, doesn't taste, doesn't feel right, then you can count on it not being right.

"Something wrong is not right" they joke

Deathworlders instincts, most likely. Many have explained to me they just feel it "in their guts". They have also explained to me about the "uncanny valley", and how they're wired to recognize not-humans, which usually tend to be corpses or people who have lost their minds to diseases like rabies.

But that "power" goes well beyond recognizing "not-humans". They call that the "not deer phenomenon", and bring forth many tales—as they do, yet another "power"—of such.

"It'll look like a deer, sound like a deer and act like a deer. But then you keep looking, you keep listening, you keep watching, and..." they always pause here to make sure I'm following "... Well, something is not right. It's going to be something minimal at first, something you only notice when you're really looking"

"and then?" I ask, no matter how many times I've heard some variation of the exact same words

"When you see one thing, suddenly you're seeing all. What starts with you noticing that the legs are a bit too tin, ends with your hair standing up and your heart speeding up because you can see it now"

"The not deer"

"The not deer"

"And do you know what it is?" I ask, knowing the answer

"Nope. No idea. Could be a shapeshifter, could be a skin walker, or an illusion. Whatever it is, what's left to do is to leave without looking back and pray it didn't notice you saw."

Needless to say, many shifters have complained about being found out by humans.
