jazzfish: a whole bunch of the aliens from Toy Story (Aliens)

... that have been hanging out in a textfile waiting to be posted.

Meet the Fmitths: "Sleve and Tobb Fmitth are a perfectly ordinary Earth human bondpair. They enjoy typical Earth human activities such as watching TV, walking their dog, converting pleasant sounds into sustenance, and using the replicator from their ship to convert junk into gold and other materials Earth humans consider valuable, and trading those materials for weird green paper Dol-Larz to exchange for goods and services."

New favorite brand of humor: "mixing different kinds of scales, such as: ... The Kinsey-Kardashev scale, for measuring how gay a civilization is."

And a brilliant Twitter thread on the evolution of the Pacific NW Tree Octopus: "How did this specialized, limited range of arboreal mollusks ever evolve into the gigantic jungle island nightmares we know and love? The answer, as always, is seagulls."

And finally, one prettiness via Jim Hines: Perfectly Timed Pictures does what it says on the tin.

I could read a book on the Fmitths, particularly if the poor neighbor is *not* Invader Zim's neighbor.

Aw, thanks! Someday I may write that book!

The Fmitths were born when this house started making the rounds on Facebook and thereabouts, and my mom and I had a lively discussion about how it was really impressive but also had a really weird vibe. We decided that the aesthetic here was "aliens trying to blend in but all they know about human culture is from episodes of Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous they intercepted out in space" and the rest is history.

Yeah. That sounds about right.
