the dubious philosophy of salmon

If five pebbles found triple affirmative.

I feel like any aliens that were prey at some point in evolution would have an odd fear of humans. Mostly cause they look like predators, act a bit like predators, and ARE predators. One perfect example is when we're focused on something like a mosquito that's been bugging us for a long time and we are just done.

Alien: "What. What..?"

Human: *HUNTING down a mosquito it saw*

Alien: ".... yeah I am really uncomfortable...."

Human: *quiet footsteps, pupils dialated, intense focus,*

Alien: *WAR FLASHBACKS*

Human: "Found you." *absolutely desimates the mosquito, squashing it into a million pieces as it's guts and various body parts liquidize into blood of the bloodthirsty, now stained on the palm of the human. A living being now reduced to a useless corpse as the human wipes the remains on their pants*

Alien: "I feel like I've just gained trauma."

alright, if I was an animal, what animal d’you think I would be. SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY.

A rooster. A rat. A... a rat. A rat, a rat. You’d be a rat. Jerma, you’re a rat. you’d be a rat... I think you’d be a rat.

(Gayly) I think I’d be a wolf. I think so too... I would be a wolf-lion-hybrid-mix. King of the junjle- junjle but still social, and with it and ferocious

The horrors are incomprehensible to YOU. I am perfectly fine and check out this cool fish.

my favorite subtle detail in rain world is the paws and hands and such

they’re consistent. most paws have 3 digits; slugcats most obviously of all, but lizards and scavengers have 3 fingers too. even iterator puppets have 3. It’s the closest thing we have to a taxonomic order of vertebrates, and we know there’s vertebrates here because one of the dialogues for white pearls is something about a skeleton.

Survivor/Monk cutscene art, specifically the one where surv is falling and reaching up

Lizard/scavenger sprites (lizards may have a dewclaw or thumb that’s usually hidden but their feet have at least 2 large toes)

LttM dream art (the one where she’s reading pearls specifically)
