Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] In a galaxy that is quite xenophobic and isolationist humanity is the odd one out. We generally like aliens and want to get along. When they turned us down, we redoubled our efforts. Now our fleet is orbiting the alien's home world. We may no longer come in peace, but they will be our friends. by Kitty_Fuchs
Humanity are space Blorgs? Wait, that can’t be right….

Reply to comment by AutoModerator in [WP] Out of the blue, your spouse asked you if you would still love them if they turned into a worm. Thinking it was a little odd, you said that yes, of course you would. It was a short time later when you realized that they actually meant “wyrm.” by Maximum_Pootis
Interestingly enough, the words “Worm” and “Wyrm” have connected etymological roots. That same root is where we get the word “Vermin”.
It’s all referring to the same collection of gross/revolting animals called vermin. Worms and spiders and scorpions, but also snakes and the like.
So ultimately the question of love despite appearances holds true regardless of the creature since Wyrms and Worms are both Vermin.

I’ve seen other signs completely demolished by what I assume are the oversized lifted trucks.
Just like, a whole KFC “Enter” sign just gone. Barely even a nub where the pole was.
Fire hydrants, medians, sidewalks, pedestrians. Nothing is spared.
