A pixelated JPEG infographic:
STOP HIRING HUMANS

1. HUMANS AREN’T SUPPOSED TO LEAVE THEIR TERRITORY
2. Incredible strength and speed, constant hunger for flesh, etc.
3. Humans have OVER 160 TEETH
4. Insist on counting to TEN instead of normal amounts like eight
5. “PLACENTAL MAMMALS”??? (Laziness related?)
6. Irresponsible, addicted to TERRIBLE breakfast stimulants
7. Humans cause their crewmates to have WEIRD FEELINGS (You all get that too, right?)

LOOK at what your crewmates have to deal with (These are REAL Human traits, done by REAL Humans):
Gun, bad at space, sharp teeth, unsolicited nudes

“Hello I would like to eat food and stare at you”

They have played us for absolute fools

What could go wrong?

Mockup of a reddit post: AITA for predicting my aunt will die?

The other day I [M20] heard the banshee, meaning someone in my family will die, and obviously it’s going to be my aunt. She’s pretty sickly and I can’t imagine any other option. But when I told my family, they called me a disgrace.

Naturally I tracked down the banshee and demanded answers, but she was totally useless and couldn’t tell me shit, so I stole her comb. Sweet revenge. But I didn’t anticipate that she’d try to get it back… and when I tried to get her out of my bedroom (hello, personal space???) I accidentally touched her and she had this weird seizure.

Now this creepy, undead (but lowkey hot) chick is insisting that “my touch brings her memories back” and “she craves more”. I can’t lie, I’m tempted (just because I want to find out who’ll actually die and prove my family wrong… no other reason). If my dickhead cousin finds out about this I’m totally screwed. AITA?

PITCH
Ireland, 1348: When Ciarán Murtagh hears the cry of his family’s banshee for the first time in a decade, he knows one of his own is fated to die. But they don’t believe his warnings—why would they? The last time Ciarán heard the banshee he didn’t tell a soul until after his cousin’s tragic death, and they’ve never trusted him since.

Desperate for redemption in his family’s eyes, Ciarán hunts down the banshee in search of answers. She’s equal parts frightening and alluring, and in his struggle to confront her, he inadvertently triggers the banshee’s memories. Memories of when she was a servant of his household, generations ago, named Deirdre.

Deirdre claims that Ciarán’s physical touch restores her memories, and demands more. He agrees to meet by moonlight in hope of learning whose death she foretold. With every encounter, Ciarán’s attraction to Deirdre grows, setting him on a path of macabre desire. When the devastating bubonic plague befalls the Murtagh household, and Deirdre’s memories reveal a dark scandal in the family’s history, Ciarán must decide whether to stay by his family’s side in their final hours or embrace the seduction of the death-bringer.

PAGE ONE

All my life I was tempted by death. And like the sinner I was, I never could resist her sweet voice, even when she came for those I love. 

First was my grandfather, when I was a boy of four. I still recall standing atop the hill, which I’d claimed as my kingdom like so many others on our land, hearing the banshee’s cry ring out from the forest. 

That night, my grandfather finally succumbed to his long illness. But not without leaving his scars on the family, like great rips through a painting. We tried to stitch it back together, plaster the canvas with more layers of paint, but the gashes were always visible beneath. 

I was ten when I heard her next, entranced as in a waking dream. She cast tendrils of keening over the forest, unfurled her slender fingers of song into the dark reaches of my heart. I should have known what it meant. I should have warned them.
