thinkin’ about a sci-fi comedy about a ‘higher intelligence’ species of aliens running an experiment where they put a translator in everyone’s head and the put two dozen intelligent species with no history together onto the same island to see how they get along
One of the main characters is from a species where the children eat each other. Like that’s their definition of childhood. Rampant cannibalism.
Another is peacefully coexisting with a sentient parasite. It’s a mutualistic relationship similar to the bacteria in the human gut but one that involves a lot of blood, which they are entirely unphased by.
There’s also a character from a species that mates with every unrelated adult they meet because their reproductive systems use an alarmingly smart ‘mate database’ to produce children by combining their DNA with whoever’s genetics is most resistant to pathogens in their system. It’s a bizarre and complex system to build a societal immune system that also makes ‘proposition everyone you meet ESPECIALLY if they seem very different because you probably don’t have their genes’ a cultural staple.
They are going out of their goddamn mind trying to fuck everyone in the experiment.
These three characters have the following personalities:
—one of those middle school girls who pretend to be wolves at recess except when she threatens to bite you she really, really means it because her molt out of baby murder machine was like 4 minutes ago
—a passive aggressive artistocrat who won’t shut up about her wealthy, doting husband, except the husband is a flesh eating slime that lives in her circulatory system
—an overly forward salesperson who is trying to sell you something counterfeit and/or illegal, except that the thing they’re trying to sell is their own generic value as a mate
Got bored at work, doodled some tadpole cannibal children (and their evolved form that doesn’t give a shit)
And a parasite host, for good measure. She’s wearing a blanket to soak up blood and other mess from when her parasite breaks skin.
