So there has been a bit of “what if humans were the weird ones?” going around tumblr at the moment and Earth Day got me thinking. Earth is a wonky place, the axis tilts, the orbit wobbles, and the ground spews molten rock for goodness sakes. What if what makes humans weird is just our capacity to survive? What if all the other life bearing planets are these mild, Mediterranean climates with no seasons, no tectonic plates, and no intense weather?
What if several species (including humans) land on a world and the humans are all “SCORE! Earth like world! Let’s get exploring before we get out competed!” And the planet starts offing the other aliens right and left, electric storms, hypothermia, tornadoes and the humans are just … there… counting seconds between flashes, having snowball fights, and just surviving.
I LOVE charecters with big expresive eyes! How you can see every ounce of what they're feeling just by the eyes.
The ragging ocean, the peacefull forrest, clay, mirror, coal whatever eye collor, you can always see the charecter entire soul on display for the world in those eyes. Until you can't.
Until those same eyes are stareing straight at you. And theres nothing there. The ocean isn't still, it's just not there anymore. The forrest is gone, only the descelate ground.
The fear, the confusion, the concern you feel when you look into the eyes that always had every piece of their being on display, just to see nothing. You start to question everything.
What are they feeling? Do you not know them as well as you thought? Did you even know them? Are they just hidding their emotions? Or were they hidding this behind emotions? Are they just pretending? Were they always pretending?
What are the thinking? They are stareing at you and you're scared.
Wait a minute...
We've been rickrolled
Its not randomized
Your gender is now the first randomized wikipedia article you get. No rerolls.
That post that's like "stop writing characters who talk like they're trying to get a good grade in therapy" really blew the door wide open for me about how common it's become for a character's emotional intelligence to not be taken into consideration when writing conflict. I remember the first time I went to therapy I had such a hard time even identifying what I was feeling, let alone had the language to explain it to someone else. Of course there are plenty of people who've never been to therapy a day in their life who are in tune to their emotions. But even they would have some trouble expressing themselves sometimes. You have to take into account there are plenty of people who are uncomfortable expressing themselves and people who think they're not allowed to feel certain ways. It also makes for more interesting conflict to have characters with different levels of understanding.
Dandelions are one of my favorite flowers.
They're gonna start blooming soon , along with other spring flowers. So I can't wait to start making flower crowns.

This reminds me of a folk song about the Moon an Sun marying and the Earth is their child. But the Moon cheated on Sun with Dawn. So they split up and shaired custody of Earth. The Sun looked after the Earth during the day and The Moon and their sisters (the Stars) looked after the Earth during the night
it's cute really, how excited humans get when the sky blinks
