I want a Snorlax as my bed.

I've never liked this meme. You train your cute little Machop to grow stronger, to take care of itself and to take care of you. You cuddle it at night because, no matter what else it is, it's your pet, and you love it. But it trains so well it freakin' evolves, and its reward is supposed to be... checks notes withdrawing your affection and closeness? Nah, fuck that with a rusty spatula.

He looks perfectly gentlemanly. Bet those chest feathers are nice and soft to lay against, too.

Some guy that somehow became popular on reddit due to vote manipulation with bots.

I'm surprised in the year of our Lord, 2025, we've still only had a couple of serious interspecies relationship pieces in popular media. You would think with the tech we have no there would be so many science fiction stories and romantic comedies about people and odd sapient creatures or monsters in wacky romances.

And I mean fucking daring stuff. Even Shape of Water was almost tame, dude just looked like a jacked fishy man. But going in the right direction.

I genuinely think it would be good for society to mentally play with the far edges of our social constructs.

I so agree. The whole bear thing in Baulder's Gate 3 was pretty awesome. But I want more, and bolder.

Why the fuck aren't there any quadrupedal species dating humanoids in Star Trek??

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Star Trek was confined by budget, and used a goofy ass, obscure storyline that the galaxy was "seeded" by something in ancient times which is why everyone looks like humanoids with different kinds of bumpy foreheads. (despite it being a very specific set of environmental circumstances over millions or billions of years that led to primates on Earth becoming the dominant species, one of those "don't think about it" plot devices.)

Does this suggest that there are non-humanoid empires outside of the galaxy? If Warhammer 40k taught us anything, it's that beyond the Milky Way it's only tyranids, which are probably going to be a much more difficult romantic option.
