Florans are creepy

I thought of a lifeform..
Nobody knows what it looks like, as it turns invisible (usually)when one sees it, but when someone is not watching (Who knows, recording) you can see it.
It has glowing eyes.. Scales that have glowing volcanic light emitting from them.. They shed skin as hot as ashes, leaving it around.. It sometimes turns itself into an indestructible ball of bluish yellow sparks that disintegrates anything it touches

 

well yes, obvious and convenient conventions are in place because they are obvious and convenient. However, sci-fi is about pushing the boundaries of imagination, not just a checklist of tropes. Well, it used to be, anyways. #subtleyfascists

my god, plant people are (and have been, for a while) TOTALLY 'a thing'

This is why double negatives (as fun as they are for back-handed dismissal) are BAD English.

 

least unimaginative... wait, is that a double negative? That's an honest question, it doesn't sound like a double negative.

 

It does.

 

I did say they are a thing. They are not, however, usually anything like the Florans, sociologically. Barbaric turning socialized, cannibalistic but amicable, bloodthirsty without being mindlessly aggressive, stab-happy yet completely sane. The sort of people that'd accidentally hunt down and eat your dog because it looked like prey, honestly apologize, offer you a weird snake-creature as replacement, and spend the rest of the week playfully stabbing at you with dull objects hoping you'll forgive them because they're being nice.

 

Well, let's see... We have:
Hylotl: The weirdest mix of Japanese Politeness and Asian Rudeness shoved into an equally weird mishmash of Japenese traiditional and pop culture.
Apex: Literally 1984 with monkeys and SCIENCE!
Humans: Need I say anything?
Glitch: Glitched robots that imitate life. Have a Hive Mind.
Avians: Bird People with a Scary Amoral Religion and crystal tech.
Novakid: Made of stars in a Space Western setting. They're pretty much geniuses, but with poor memories and attention spans.
Florans: Generally stab-happy Plant People who don't see other lifeforms as being sentient. Despite being extremely primitive, have some good tech due to scavenging and reverse-engineering.

 

yeah, that spin is unique as far as I can tell.

honestly, it comes off feeling like a half-hearted ribbing of vegetarians;

"Oh hey, you're meat that eats plants? Well we got plants that eat meats! BOOM!"

 

Clearly, the solution is to eat rocks. Then nobody's happy.

 

Oh Whitney!

Too soon, too soon!

 

I feel like I'm missing something that would be plainly obvious to 99% of people here.

 

oh, how fickle the tides of lazy, throw-away humor are:

 

Florans and creepy? HA!
They aren't creepy to me.
Not just because i already experienced much more creepier stuff in starbound with the FU mod on death moons, nono...

They just love me.

I almost all of my avatars in the game where the same because i loved to see myself in it and i was there since one of the earliest releases, meaning my saves often got corrupted.

THEY ALWAYS FOLLOW ME, NOT JUST BECAUSE IM SO DELICIOUS.
MANY OF THEM EVEN SHOW HEARTS THAT FLOAT IN THE AIR...

One of the reasons i hate them

Secound because they purged the Hytol

It's not because of their Chinese side and the anime refrences stuff.

I love their Japan side.

All the knowlege, everything they know, the tempels...just everything.

Reasons why i whold PURGE THE FLORANS BACK

Oh, and too a little because of their very very bad grammer

 

Oh, the irony.

 

I mean, they speack worse than i do xD
