Podcast is Called : ASN Humans Are Space Orcs , HFY and other stories
--------------
This Story is Classified as HFY or Humanity Feck, Yea , but what does the Mean?
-------------
HFY is a story/series that takes a “human element” in either humanity or an “other” (race/species or object) that exists in a “setting” (future or other world/universe) with varying levels of culture, technology, society and history that help show in some shape or form the potential good or bad for humanity’s race/culture. In These stories Humans are often referred to as Human, Humanity, Deathworlder, Hellwolder in reference to the human planet of origin , Earth. This planet is seen by most of the universe as a place where only death and chaos can survive.
-------------
Taken from the FAQ of the r/HFY subreddit.
Humans Are Space Orcs (HASO) or Humans Are (Fantasy Race) Are used as a guide when writing.
In these Stories we normally View humans like the other races view orcs in a Fantasy Novel. We (Humans) share the same characteristics and personalities as orcs. Humans are normally treated as the outsiders and barbarians. Humans tend to be underestimated as well in these stories. Unlike Humanity Feck Yea , these don't always put a positive spin on humans\humanity sometimes looking at the darker side of human and humanity from the perspective of aliens.

The only upside is when Cthulhu broke in and started his war against the universe, he would have left Humans alone Dont wanna accidently break his rivals out 🤣

[@mikkelnpetersen]

Gotta keep the competition out of the game.

[@Netherdan]

That and also if the seal is completely broken the humans won't have to spend their entire energy keeping it, so breaking it would release their full potential

[@therasco400]

Who says that the other side in the war was NOT the other entities? Our universe could have been France while Germany and America fought WW2. We help our perceived side but don't want either in our universe.

[@Pitraptor]

In virtually every Cthulhu story the primary target for the "Unknowable horrors" from the space between the various dimensions is humanity. Even this story references that with it's depiction of the human supermind as a live baited trap for the entire multiverse. There's a reason for this fact that is mentioned in several Lovecraft novels, I can't recall exactly what it was, something about overly fertile minds, manifestation and fear of the unknown or whatever. All I can say is "Hold ma beer".

[@lindaorr1805]

There are reasons not to mess with a human's mind. When you stare at the void, it often stares back... with malice.

[@shosroy]

You know, humans learning of this barrier would instantly lead to quite a few different groups attempting to break it. So I think it’s fitting the author put in the bit about how this discovery was just before the inter-dimensional war against Cthulhu.

[@GravitWry]

The line: "It then swung it's fist and I obviously didn't dodge. This was an astral body of course it couldn't be hit. And then it hit me, literally," Has the same energy as, "I saw a ball bouncing down the road earlier, and then it hit me." Speaks to me in such a level that makes my brain buzz with happiness.

[@davidrutherford6311]

I actually had a flashback to the movie The Patriot when you see a cannon ball skip across the ground and hit the front line of soldiers from the the soldier's perspective. You feel you can and should dodge but because it's coming straight at you you can't gauge the range or the speed it's actually going.

100k subs go go go! To quote another, "Zathras warns but, no, no, no one listens to poor Zathras."

[@nightrunnerxm393]

So Zathras talks to walls. Talks to ceilings. To floors. Sometimes, Zathras find bugs on floor. Not good for conversation, but much protein for diet! (nom!) Come! We go!

[@stevedixon921]

Classic Zathras. One hundred brothers all named Zathras.

[@JRRodriguez-nu7po]

Babylon 5, my favorite sci Fi show. Season 1 was atrocious, and everything after 5 forgettable but, 2-5 were... unique. Nothing else like it to this day. The philosophy behind the questions, the respect for different beliefs, the faithfulness to actual human differential hypergamy among so much else.

[@whiterabbit75]

[@jeanannd]

100K - FANTASTIC!!! I can't even imagine how horrible it might be to be a telepath. It's hard enough just with my own mind - but to have to know someone else's mind.....NO! One can assume that telepath's need major emotional counseling on a very regular basis. Much less if that telepath is from an entirely different species. I mean, an entirely alien thought process - NOOOOO! This telepath did the conscious, subconscious, The Ego and Id and now below that - probably things from our evolution we are not even aware of. Not a good idea! But humans as a bait trap to stop interdimensional beings trying to kidnap beings from our universe or invade - yep, don't look into a humans mind. Sadly as the ending of the story indicates - someone just had to break that wall in some humans mind and release Cthulhu. LOL - though I wouldn't mind them releasing dragons back into our universe.

[@InternetGravedigger]

Came across a quote years ago, that basically said telepathy would be an evolutionary dead end because any true telepath would see into the minds of others and quickly come to the conclusion that everyone other than themselves was completely and irrevocably insane.

[@richardm3023]

Indeed, I would not want to see what porn some people watch.

Got to love how "the clown" was untouched and being avoided at all costs by both Heaven and Hell as well as Cthulhu AND was the one that pointed out the intruder lol. Should have added that "it" (the clown) held a strange device in its hand that was a red ball with a brass cone at one end and when it squeezed the red ball the noise that rang out was a deafening "HONK" within the dome causing everything within to stop and stare at the intruder that the clown pointed at.

Great story, been to that dome, spent several years staring at it when a child. As young adult immortal, the dome still leaks at times, but less so every year. Cthulhu has no hope in the upcoming war, though it will be billions dead on Earth when it starts in earnest. As an immortal though, all I can do is sigh, and tell you the future.

[@Thurgosh_OG]

If the Dome gets fully breached, then the Humans can turn their full psychic powers against the Gods, Cthulhu etc. I'm not saying that the humans would win but the entities will suffer greatly and the losses will be catastrophic.

[@deathdooddieimmortal.therian]

Welp we wil do and my fellow in mortals where we good in zijn war

[@JesusRodriguez-zy3wj]

​@@Thurgosh_OG I have foretold the future on several occasions and never been wrong. Example, once I told someone that a guy 100+ people were following would die at noon, Easter Sunday, 2 weeks before he did (he was in his 40s). That's just one of several examples. My wife has also done these things. We don't plan or control these events, which occur every few years, completely wo our control. I am telling you all now that the dome WILL come down, and it will take ONE human to chain all those creatures, gods ect in a bloody battle which will keep them contained for at least 1,000 years. They will then be let loose one last time and that final battle in The War will result in the nuclear disintegration of the entire universe. Even so, my wife, me and our 5 children will all survive. It will be a Glorious carnage! Now, perhaps I am a Russian AI chatbot, or an incel in his mom's basement, or a professor of medicine and bioochemistry. Whichever, I assure you Truth is stranger than fiction. Lovecraft wasn't creative enough for the things I have seen. It has been many years since one of these things manifested. It was extremely pissed of at me, but could do nothing. It couldn't even leave, as I stared at it in pity. They're not afraid of me. They're merely impotent at me/ Now, my son, however, got into trouble, which is why I was there. I am only a vessel. Hopefully my son is learning this.
