          He brought his dream journal to school for show and tell but the other kids made fun of him for it. “You think my dreams are funny? Let me see yours…”

          Shunned by the eldest gods, it was banished to a group of solar systems so far from the origin cluster as to be, at best, irrelevant. Deep into the arm it was injected.

          Moping about rocks and stars gamma-scarred.

          It found earth.

      I mean, yeah. Just attempting to look at Cthulhu would drive a Xenomorph insane.

        I mean, who’s to say whether xenomorphs perceive time and space like humans. Sure, they behave like animals, but they could still have evolved or been created in some strange part of the universe where space-time is shaped differently, making those horrible, non-Euclidean shapes look like home to them.

        For all humans know or can comprehend, xenomorphs are tiny, eldritch fleas that evolved to live on Cthulu’s pet, so while I’d still give the overall win to the Big Guy/Gal/Entity, the xenomorphs might be on his/her/its radar and might even be able to annoy him/her/it in a way that humans can’t.

          From the games where you get to play as a xenomorph, they work on a sense of smell. So the mere scent of Cthulhu would drive them mad.

            I’ve been thinking about this the last few days, and while it may have been easiest to explain the mechanics as “smell,” the way it was implemented, you could also explain it as being able to faintly glimpse into the past to see where the humans/predators were several seconds ago.

            Just a thought I had because I like thinking about this stuff

          non-Euclidean shapes

          I’ve tried to find out but can you explain exactly what that means?

            Just a reference to the way Lovecraft described the architecture of the ancient cities built by worshipers of the eldritch beings, especially in At The Mountains of Madness.

          Relative to other Xenomorphs or relative to humans?

          Not sure if they can perceive the universe in higher dimensions than humans or not.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author’s website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author’s comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss
  3. GPrime85

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you’re posting:

  • Markdown - Links / Images

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what’s going on. (example)
