She's taking inspiration from how they used to draw slugcats from rain world
And cause he loves the mental image of an arxur doin the scug shaker central
(Tbh this is to test if now I still get filtered by the anti spam systems)
What aesthetic would you have given the federation?
Overall my fren thinks the outer layer of the feds the mask as he refers to it would have an aesthetic sort of like china's "there's no war in basing-taiwan is not a real country" albeit with some UK(Idk why) sprinkled on there varying from planet to planet for more flavor
I responded with saying that when it comes to the federation military's aesthetic, no question that's just straight up IDF albeit a "bit"..censored from the general civilian population cause else they'd resemble the arxur way too much
————————————————————————————————————————————————
extra:we both agreed the arxur post betterment would've had an outer aesthetic mostly of atomic age america, combined with...Germany late 1930 to early 1940...
████ = human's name, █████ = alien's name
████:...how and why do you still use them?
█████: it's...obvious? We like physical data we can actually hold and move around...why don't you?
████:....we did...hundreds of years ago...filthy corps mostly did the practice in before set corps were ripped apart and broken into rubble after the last global international war... I've only seen one archived disk...albeit not ones like this... We use orb shaped crystal these days for stuff like that...we first used them for genetic data Incase someone would find our planet if we had long since died so they could hopefully revive us...sorry I'm yapping too much-
█████: -nono it's fine...well aside from that part of you guys planning for the case of you're extinction....kinda sad to think about...-ehem—for the why... we advanced enough into lasers and precision that we could male small divots nearly as a small as atoms into the disk, and we got so used to it...we sort never stopped...as you're species would say... "Don't fix what ain't broke" or... something like that.
████:...(sits crisscross)...would you tell me more about it?
█████:...
sure friend...

Example:
yet to be added lyrics:
even in....the darkest of times
I knew you'd always be there—witting right by my side
But never could I reckon just the distance i'd fall
When nobody can listen, then who's there left to call—
You've every right to hate me I assure you—it's true
I've plenty second chances, just one more and I'm through
If I could go back, then I would to try this anew
I wish I was special—for someone special like you-
Writing prompt: I imagine some aliens using music as a more conventional way fo comfort and escapism from reality, and at some point those species listen to human music thinking "oh they've gone through a decent bit they probably also like listening to [comfort melodies]/music".... only to listen to some songs and be flashbanged with lyrics like these:
"At you're beck and collar—just remember I'm someone daughter-er-er-er :3"
"HERES TO MY LADY AND IM COMIN' INSIDE"
"in hit number stations—he c#ms radiation!"
"(Screeching from what might as well be an orchestral rendition of the damned as they burn)"
"I-I-I-I LOVE LITTLE GIRLS THEY MAKE ME FEEL SO GOOD" (←satire song mocking ped0files)
"I don't mind....the sun in ma eyes....the smell of the rot....the buzz of the flies..."
"Parasite. We both know you're barely hanging on"
"ID. HATE. MYSELF. TO. IF. I. WERE. HALF. AS. BIG. A. BUR—DEN as YOU. YOU. YOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUU....."
"I've got an idea why don't we make snowman out of peas? :)"
"Ain't you're you-dentity at stake?—does aspirin kill you with the pain?—you're not your thoughts, you're not you're brain—you're just the character you've made—up in you're head, down in your heart—what seem like separate body parts—just come together to believe they're you—and not just chemistry, it's not the way that you were raised, or what the advertisements say, not what you pay for, what you pray for—what you want, or what you say.—"
"Do you like how I walk? Do you like how I talk? Do you like how my face—eSinT3g®@†ES 1N|O ¢8@|K‽*"
"SO SQEÆL LIKE A TROLLY WHEEL—CRY LIKE A BÆBY WITH AUTISM STRAPPED-TO A CEILING FAN"
"C'mon pretty lady out a bullet in my... heart—lay me on the street and let the fiends rip me a...part"
humans join a federation made up of other species after reaching their space faring stage of development, get a bit cranky when other members do mistakes they've learned from the hard way
Example:
Human: they gave us their species and their personal name, why are you still calling them...*looks at translated transcription* deathworlders...really?
Alien: [what?]
Human: from what I'm seeing...by that definition every word we greet is a deathworld no?
Alien: [well some are just way more tame-]
Human: dude one side of you're planet is literally just a whole bunch of dormant volcanos which at any time could go active and rend you're home uninhabitable for who knows how many millennia.
Alien: [the rest is very tame and thanks to us being evolved from marine life, we call it a paradise world for a reason]
Human: IT'S A TICKING TIME BOMB, YOU CALL IT A PARADISE CAUSE YOU HAVE THICK SHEETS OF ICE PROTECTING YOU FROM GETTING BOILED ALIVE THE MOMENT YOU'D GO ABOVE IT AND THE HEAT RADIATING FROM YOU'RE SUN AND THE VOLCANOES ARE FORTUNATELY JUST ENOUGH TO PREVENT YOU FROM BECOMING AN ICE STATUE.
Alien: [You're just jealous that our waters are always at a comfy temperature and that it is mostly drinkable unless you get too far from the ice sheets]
Human:...ok I admit yeah... but also...still dehu...depersonizing and very racist to just define someone by their species or their world and not the mark they make in it and etc?
Alien: [why does you're species get so commonly fuzzy about that?]
Human: why else do you think our planet had so many craters and we were already "united" when the federation found and uplifted us?
Alien: [..why?]
Human:...war....conflicts...some... understandable....others...without reason...before first contact...we had the last of our big intercontinental wars...ended up with us having kicked eachother's asses so badly we all had simply...lost in the end...no one came out of that war a winner...even if we did get something from it it wasn't for the blood it cost..we were still just...also happy that we managed to somehow stay alive...we didn't have choice but to collarborate...it was kind of a pain figuring out what system we could use, it ended up with a freak of a system that somehow worked...we still reluctantly built nukes but more cause of the concerning amount of asteroids passing by earth...I tell you the looks on our faces when we realized were just one minute away from glassing one of the federation's civilian touring ships cause one of our detection systems thought it was an asteroid...
Alien: [..huh...sorry....I.....my condolences...]
Human: it fine...still...one of the main things that lead to those meaningless wastes of human life were from that kind of generalization... we're all from the same home in the end...we can be glad that it stayed string through our every temper tantrum..
Alien: [great frost mother...I need some space....that was...a lot you just...]
Human: I get it...take all the time you need
Here's some examples also yes this doubles as commentary and also mockery of overused hfy and haso tropes/stereotypes:
Hfy human: "hello fellow hu....."
Irl present human:...what is it
Hfy human: "...you look awful"
Irl present human: wow what an astute statement....
Hfy human: "ok fuck you"
Irl human: would you? *bend's down to look at them in the eyes* Shorty
Hfy human: (turns red in insecurities) "hey! Take that back!"
irl human: sure...if you wear a maid outfit
Hfy human: *sputters in toxic masculinity* "FUCK N-"
irl human: I'll give ya 67 bucks
Hfy human: "..."

Irl human while looking at the miserable alien ant that would explode from the gasses inside if it's carapace we're to crack: (...gods they're such a miserable soggy critter, please Marry me)
Hfy human: (gives them a wtf look as they give the androgynous ant thing bedroom eyes)
———————————————————————————————————————————
Evil irl human: yea well duh what else would we do with those orphans pay their hospitals bill? pff nah where's the profit in that? No we'll pay only half the bills, say we helped, get some good PR, then put the kids in our debt once they grow up and are properly broken bit by bit in the think-tanks of the platforms we own
Evil Hfy alien: "[o...k... that's actually kind of.... tam-]"
Evil irl human: *whispers some of their "least cruel" secrets of the things they do in private*
Evil Hfy alien: *vomits* "[....YOU FUCKING MONSTER...YOU ARE NOT REAL YOU CANNOT-....WHY..I...I...I-i ^(i....) *vomits more and starts also sobbing* UUUUGHUUUUGHUUUUUHHH.....YOU ANIMAL]"
——————————————————————————————————————————
Hfy human: violence isn't the answer!
Haso human: violence is the answer
Irl human: I wish it wasn't the answer...but
————————————————————————————————————————————
Hfy humans when fighting: *throws hands*
Irl humans: *grapples and bodyslams* or *goes for the throat*
