    Oh that was me in reverse. Waking up to a pack of coyotes wondering if I was the tame human. Alas I sat up too quickly, scared them off, and now I’ll never get adopted by a pack of coyotes.

        Yeah I know that. But if not friend, why friend shape?

    Worf, from the Deep Space Nine episode Homefront:

    “Our gods are dead. Ancient Klingon warriors slew them a millennia ago. They were more trouble than they were worth.”

    That’s the best way to describe what a Klingon is; Zero fucks, 100% of the time.

      If the cat thought you had nothing to offer, they wouldn’t be coming to you. I’m pretty sure most house cats have been trained to think humans are magic food dispensers.

    I always like the analogy of man’s relationship with an ant is how it would be with a fae or elder species and man.

    Like if an ant managed to attract the attention of a human and requested it kill a specific ant, the human would respond by simply killing the entire colony as they can’t distinguish one individual ant from another.

    That’s what the fae do.

      I don’t know what it is about a certain kind of nerd and everything “fae” recently, but I feel like too many things are being associated with faeries, and put under an umbrella term named after them.

      And their power level is rocketing up to Galactus levels.

      It’s like the words magic, myth, fantastical and supernatural have been replaced by fae to make it all fairy-esque with pretty and/or grotesque twigpeople as mascots. Sometimes it seems Godzilla is a fae, Thor is a fae, Bigfoot is a fae, Kraken is a fae, C’thulu is a fae, Jehovah is a fae, Dragons are fae.

        Basic alt girls with floral/bird tattoos who think making soup was alien enough to be considered magicks love BG3 and DnD. Now their orbiting nerds have accepted their new definition to not be cast out.

        It’s another personality substitute after the tattoos, hair dye, and Lovecraft obsessions stopped feeling edgy.

    All that’s left is discovering the power of friendship along the way and they’ve got a franchise on their hands.

    Or they’ve never met a human. It’s a learned fear.

        This is a bigger problem. I do enjoy the natural lessons Yellowstone gives to so many visitors though. Those vids are usually amusing to a degree. I’m a sucker for schedenfraud.
