HFY - Humanity Fuck Yeah! is a community for writers and artists to showcase their talent in the HFY genre and for people who enjoy them.
While traditional science fiction often presents humans as vulnerable masses seeking refuge from menacing aliens or as feeble beings overshadowed by aliens with superior logic, strength or empathy. HFY disrupts these archetypes by challenging the norm.
In the world of HFY, humanity is bestowed with exceptional qualities, giving rise to a sense of optimism and empowerment within the reader. It seeks to uplift and inspire, demonstrating the potential of human greatness and the capacity for overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.

The humans running down animals for hours also feel like that after a bit fyi. They are just hungry enough to keep running.
I have some friends who are into serious long distance running and they are constantly in a state of suffering while running. It's the feeling of stopping running that makes them keep wanting to go running, not the feeling of the actual running.
I'm a distance runner, and I don't know if you've captured running all that well tbh. I certainly don't go out for my Sunday long run looking forward to the finish. It's pretty enjoyable when you're training, but I concede that racing is difficult and can turn into prolonged suffering.
That's not true though. I used to run long distance all the time because I enjoyed running. It was really meditatitive. Plus if you run long enough you get a runners high, which is exactly what it sounds like.
That's purely endorphin addiction, in the 80's I had (for a short time till he got re-homed) a boss that was a true asshole motherfucking sonofabitch if he didn't get his 6 miles in before he headed to work.
And yes, that IS how I got him ~~fired~~ removed, an emergency meeting between my department (which had to include him, the department head) over a virus infection (mid 1980s mind you) got him to be said "asshole motherfucking sonofabitch" to the C** people in the meeting.
The fact that he had been "promoted" from head of QC to head of a 1980's IT department and had once said in front of the entire department that he wanted to throw every PC in the company into the company pond had "nothing" to do with it. >
