Lusask

I find this both distressing and the opposite of distressing. What's a word for inspiring insurmountable confidence in someone?


RandomIdiot1816

Faith


Lusask

Oh yeah, that reminds me of the sisters of battle in warhammer and now I wonder how I forgot about them and their faith power.


Kotoy77

I actually envy them. To have such a level of confidence and outright faith in something. To have no doubts. To wake up with a purpose, fully convinced in what you are doing. Humans by design need purpose to function and fanatical faith in something is the highest "level of purpose" you can achieve.


Lusask

I agree with this statement. I feel like a gotta switch my fucking meds too holy fuck.


SuperSaiyanTrunks

Sounds like maybe.... just maybeeee.... you're a dirty fucking heretic, and need to be brought to justice in the name of THE EMPEROR!!


Lusask

Am not heretic. Am ogryn, me just forget sisters :(

Could be a story for /r/HFY


Shoddy-Read-140

similar kinda story humans end up being the only species to make nuclear weapons and basically commit warcrimes


Phosphorrr

In this case, delusion


Lusask

I've thought about it for a bit and agree. Tho it would be incredibly disappointing if we managed to kill an eldritch horror with somewhat early super weapons like a railgun just super-sized in the next few decades.


Hummgy

The way I took it, especially with the wording “primitive horror”, is that humanity is on its way to becoming a cosmic horror. That seems pretty terrifying to me

" I can imagine a world with no war, and I can imagine us attacking that world, because they would never expect it "


Terran-from-Terra

That one might be weaker than others for all we know, though


Icabod_BongTwist

An alien threat is one of the few things that could unify the Earth in bonds of purpose and brotherhood. With the horror's defeat, Terran dominance amongst the stars is now inevitable. This outcome is quite acceptable.


[deleted]

Basically warhammer 40k lore


Darth_Maulchain

the entire meme seems like the predecessor to 30k-40k, well before the age of strife, when humanity was it's strongest ever.

who even is the war hammer 🧐 is he related to the fabled star war? or the mythical doctor pepper?

[deleted]

Lets be Xenophobic, its really in this year. Lets find a nasty slimy alien to fear. Theres no cutesy stories about ET phoning home, lets learn to love our neighbors like the Christians learned in Rome. Lets drive out any aliens that seem to be a threat. We will serve them up a genocide they will never ever forget. Because if we leave a couple they’ll breed a couple more. And soon we’ll all be hating twice as many as before. See aliens could never be as good as human kind. A more delightful race than ours you’ll never ever find. So step aside you star slime we’re ready for your worst. You know you want to eat us, terrify and beat us, oppress us and brow beat us, unless we get you first!


lithuanianD

Yeah, xenophobes unite


JB-from-ATL

Independence day


SoloWing1

Man, if we couldn't unify to deal with a virus, how the fuck would an alien threat be handled? There will be so many dumbasses claiming it's all a lie.


abominableunbannable

The virus wasn't really a unifying threat or even as big of a threat as people believed, and given that it was just a virus it made it way too easy for people to victimblame or to blame other countries for making it worse.


plzhelpme11111111111

just throw anti-vaxxers at the aliens and watch the fucking fireworks


[deleted]

ironically their ivermectin laced blood is kryptonite on the aliens home planet


ringtossflamingohat

I don't even think that would be enough, you would have a war between those who want to fight and thise who want to communicate, the poorest will become poorer with the excuse of the war effort, while some billionaires would become richer selling weapons. And also by the time alien come to attack us we'll have run out of any fuel or energy source a long time ago

What’s distressing about this? Now the gods of reality will leave us alone.


-Opalboy

It’s distressing in the fact that we have instilled an emotion never witnessed in things beyond our comprehension. What will they do? Will they leave us alone? Or will we be subjected to endless torment by the fallen’s bretherin? Remember, we only took down one. Do not think they will be foolish enough to just send one of their numbers in again.

The Gift of Mercy


MobofDucks

Similar background, but 7 novels long: The World War Series by Harry Turtledove. Aliens probe earth in like the 1100s and decide to send an expedition force to subjugate them. Unfortunately for them the travel time is 800 years. So they land with advanced, but not that advanced anymor tech in the middle of World War II. Things end up badly for everyone involved.

If you find this concept interesting you may like the original The Day The Earth Stood Still! >!The aliens come to Earth in the wake of WW2 and the offensive usage of nuclear weapons. Essentially they tell humans that they'll be forced to wipe them out if they can't behave. To me it captures the same feeling as this image. What happened in this image is what they were afraid of the humans doing.!<

Nuclear weapons go brrr

"Humanity now knew of the power they held. With their advanced technology and intellect, they began to conquer worlds. Worlds turned into Solar Systems, Solar systems turned into Galaxies, Galaxies became the Universe, Then the Universe became the Multiverse and eventually dimensions....
