Dreamed Earth was invaded by strange 7′ tall beings with huge gorilla-like arms supporting atrophied bodies that dangled between their shoulders, long toes acting as hands that clutched yellow protein-globes and shoved them into the grotesque facial features sunken into their torsos.<\/p>

If you needed an excuse to join the xenoglyph<\/em> Patreon<\/a>, it\u2019s the freewheeling, creative, supportive, kind discussion on xenophilia<\/em>, my Discord. We talk about aliens, artificial intelligence, educational techniques, roleplaying games, architecture, and our favorite impractical aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re not coming back to take away Earth\u2019s capability to war. They\u2019ve come back to inform Earth of the fact<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn\u2019t the first time Dave\u2019s imagination has given me aliens to draw! He also dreamed these Columnar Weirdoforms<\/a> into a description for me back in 2016!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modular systems are a function of industrial society. But do people of The Fifth World still know how to agree to standards? With their acute interest in efficiency, I think they might have carried that lesson forward!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
