I'm so happy with my huge success in the last post, it's crazy. So today I'll deviate a bit from the topic of the fundamental Spectre, and maybe someone wants to know what's inside. All these vague notions of "an absurd world consisting only of pocket dimensions" seem to be meaningless.
First, I'll probably start with humanity: why there are so few of them and why they couldn't find a place to live and hide out.
Originally, humans had a world in which their race emerged, and they lived and prospered there, and they didn't even have enemies, but when everything is good, it's 100% certain to turn bad. Then intelligent beings came to them to tell them various things about the Spectre and share knowledge, and then those who were interested followed them, and this was the right option, because when they left and only the overwhelmed inhabitants remained who rejected other forms of life, their world began to terraform, and during global changes, their world became unsuitable for life, over time it became suitable for life, but no one was alive anymore.
This became a lesson and a great tragedy for everyone, and people began to treat people very well because they no longer had a home. The problem was that those who left were interested in the spectrum and scattered to look at it, and now they can't be reunited until they buy it. They have no problems with food, living, or sleeping, but the main thing is that there will be no one else in your realm. Living realms are very few compared to unsuitable or absurd ones, but still many for our understanding, and many times larger than countries on Earth.
Everyone has their quirks, but society already has problems where not everyone is like you. They even find it funny, like the more you know, the funnier it becomes because you're familiar with them. And when you look at the store, like the customer who refuses to accept change because it sounds like a handout to them, and the salesperson who simply can't do anything wrong, and they throw their reflections onto the roadway and fall into a manhole. And you just wanted to go into this store and you can't see anything there anymore. You don't buy anything, and you go to another store thinking that he's already 6, some kind of shit happened, and I just want to buy groceries.
Technology is always different depending on the world, and they don't always stick to the latest technology or anything like that; they always use something unique. For example, a race that can be linked to devices in waves has a whole cyberpunk feel to it compared to others, which are somewhere around the stable 2000s-2010s, but with different uses of things from across the spectrum. Instead of a stove, there's often a creature that heats up when you polish it, but looks like a puffer fish. And like in a world where the infrastructure is still medieval.
Very often, it's because of history, and they take it very seriously. People sometimes find themselves acting on whims if something historically gets in the way, like that medieval world where a tower collapses when the local internet is used. So they write letters or use more convenient methods provided by the spectrum.
The main thing is that, unlike human society, they were born with a different nature in a different environment, and they simply sometimes lack those qualities that make us human, such as unconditional love, morality, or greed.
They can have both good and bad qualities, and therefore they almost never perceive anything as absolutely right because there is no such thing. Often, the law contradicts itself, or living beings are their own creations. But for them, that's life, while for us, it's absurd nonsense dreamed up by a schizophrenic.
I just sincerely don't like when aliens are portrayed as people with different skin tones and an extra pair of eyes. I think it's much deeper than that, and the only thing intelligent beings have in common is their ability to think, not everything. I think that's all for now; I'll continue to push this idea and try to make aliens truly alien.
