Humans Are Space Orcs: Colour blindness

I remember seeing a number of HASO posts a while ago referencing Blashko's lines (and how they'd be visible to alien capable of seeing infrared) and a particular fic where the premise was reversed and an alien species was exicited to find out they had stripes visible to their human crewmates because human vision could distinguish between more shades of colour than they could.

Now, given that some animals have a genetic predisposition towards certain types of colourblindness (apparently being colourblind makes spotting camouflage easier) how would such a species react to non colorblind humans? Or how would an alien react to finding out their human crewmate is colourblind?

Humans are Weird thoughts:

sometimes its wild how humans can get so engrossed in something small and forget about the rest of the world

i dont mean like focusing on the small problems in their life i mean focusing on the problems in their environment and then across the globe the environmental concerns are so different

"hot all the time" ah yes but have you considered driving in the snow?

but also the adaptations that humans make in order to be able to thrive in that space with those environmental concerns

eg: salting the roads, plugging their car into electricity so it can start the next mornings, shoes?? with metal?? to stand better?

on a similar but tangentially related topic who the hell was like "strap blades to shoes to walk on ice" that's bizarre.

imagine being an alien living on an ice planet and humans show up with big furs and boots and then you tell them travelling might be hard because all the roads are ice and they light up like "i prepared for this" and they have knife boots

or like, on a space ship you see a human preparing a bag of what looks like grains and they're about to heat them and the human goes "wait watch this" and the grains explode into white stuff that's soft and not grain like at all

another weird one could be like... say you're a hairless alien, whether you're scaled or membrane skinned or otherwise, and you see their hair cover their eyes and think "oh yeah they can't see me anymore" but then you get closer and they just jump at you because they could see you all along

hypothesis: humans have strange creations and nothing makes sense. further studies required

I have the urge to lick my screen every time an image of Dabi pops up on it.

If I could sum my life up in one phrase, it would be this: No one is coming to save you, get the fuck up.

One of the cutest things about human beings is that the part of our brain that controls our legs is closely entwined with the part that manages speech, so that when you see a baby frantically kicking their legs, it's because they're really really trying to say something.

And this persists into adulthood. It's just a human brain thing. So any time I see someone trying to find the words for something and they start pacing about, I think of babies kicking their legs and I'm like "you adorable creature!"

helluva boss may be getting a LOT of shit for its writing (which, fair) but that show has animation down fucking well. and every song stolas sings is a fucking banger. sure, they say "fuck" all the time (which, honestly barely even, the bigger writing trope is dick and sex humor, but yknow maybe im numb to "fuck" humor lol) but those highly detailed character designs doing fucking backflips and spinning and singing is really really impressive. earnestly phenomenal animation, especially considering its an indie studio! idk, thats just my thoughts

#text #odd thoughts #helluva boss #listening to “just look my way” on loop and was thinking abt how beautiful the animation and singing is lol

I am lining up every iteration of metal sonic and kissing them one by one on the top of their shiny heads. Every one of them shoots me as I do this. It's like a receiving line with no hands shaken

Dou you think that if they did a Holes remake, the "crimes" that were done would be just expressing a basic human right?

So you want people to use these pronouns for you? Go dig some holes.

Oh you're not straight? Grab a shovel and hit the dirt.

What, you held an ACAB sign? Time for the labor camp.

Why? Because Texas.

(Stanley would still be sent there because of the shoes though. I don't know about Hector, maybe still the same after 20 years.)

Don’t you find it weird how we pick up pieces of characters we like and just add part of their personality to ourselves?

It’s also very worrying. Like, my favourite characters tend to be the misunderstood villains, am I now part misunderstood villain?

Am I going to curse a town, or kill a bunch of people when the trauma gets too much?

I don’t condone murder but neither did the characters until they suddenly did.

Someone find me a sunshine person to help contain the rage, it’s for humanity’s sake at this point.

Have any of you ever felt that you are stuck at this very odd position in your life. Like hanging by the skin of your teeth at being the best at everything yet never quite managing to reach there. Like you are amazing at what you do yet never excellent. Something is lacking. Something is always fucking lacking.

I've been watching a lot of cow hoof trimming videos lately.

- Did you know that hooves are basically hiking shoes, right down to having a soft, springy sole, cushioned heel and stiff uppers to support the foot? The similarity is crazy. When we invented shoes we were basically just giving ourselves hooves.

- Sometimes cows hurt their feet and get blisters. But because they can't take their shoes off to relieve the pressure, those turn into abscesses that end up separating the hoof from the foot. Really sore. But a good hoof trimmer can shave off the old detached sole, right down the surface of the cow's little pink toe, and if they clean it up well, the cow will just grow a new sole in, like, a week or two. They can do this because they have two toes on each foot, so they build up the good toe and let it take the weight while the other one heals.

- The sole of the hoof grows really fast, but doesn't get too thick, because once it gets the right distance away from the bottom of the foot, the horn dries out and flakes off automatically. Self-replacing shoes with self-generating soles.

- Cows have more trouble with their feet if they're underweight rather than overweight, because they basically have insoles made of fat to protect their feet, and if they're underweight the insoles get thin and they get more blisters.

- Cows are amazing.

OK, sense Julie is canonical genderfluid, I wanna share some headcanons regarding that.

"Julie" is her name when fem presenting, but also just in general is cool with Julie

"Jules" is for when they're presenting more androgynous and such

"Julian" is for more masculine presentations

All of these names are honestly interchangeable for however Julie is presenting, but I just like giving the presentations names hehe

Julie's fem presentation is her Canon design

His androgynous presentation is honestly the one I've developed the least, but I mean he's gotta have suspenders on. Perhaps some braids in his hair too

Julians design is the silliest. When wanting to present more masculine, that hair seems like it could be a problem! Until I remembered that some transmasc tips of putting long hair in a ponytale and putting it under a hat and something clicked. So I decided that I headcanon for when they're feeling more masculine that Julie takes her entire big hairdo and somehow (to Frank's utter confusion) is able to put it under a normal ol bowler cap!

He wears a blue suit to me :]

Julie uses any pronouns, she/he/they swag

I know I said all of this matter-of-factly but I do wanna restate that this is all a hc except for the fact Julie is genderfluid.

Also I'm gonna draw the designs later so do not worry Julie lovers
