->Few of us can begin to imagine the horror of you -- with all of creation reflected in your forebrain. It must be the highest of hells, a kaleidoscope of fire and writhing glass. Eternal damnation. Even when you're sleeping... And when you wake, you carry it around on your neck. With eyes that cannot help but swallow more behind the mirror. I feel great, mute empathy for you.

You are a violent and irrepressible miracle. The vacuum of cosmos and the stars burning in it are afraid of you. Given enough time you would wipe us all out and replace us with nothing — just by accident.

->Imagine being of a species descended from herbivores looking in on us humans, who eat nearly anything, but especially delight in the flesh of our fellow animals. We raise and slaughter them in factory farms, and that's not even the worst of it. We go to war with each other constantly. We continue to pump greenhouse gas into our atmosphere, knowing full well [[GlobalWarming how future generations will suffer for it]]. We traffic and enslave our most vulnerable, and those who don't turn a blind eye to it. What intelligent being would look at a species like that and not see a potential threat?\\
Now imagine learning that these violent, competitive, omnivorous monsters have technologically advanced [[HumansAdvanceSwiftly more quickly than you could have imagined possible]], far more quickly than your ancestors did. Those traits you assumed would prevent the development of an advanced civilization -- competitiveness, greed, gluttony, tribalism, bellicosity -- in reality turbocharged their progression. These monsters may be only a few thousand, perhaps even a few hundred, years away from approaching your level of advancement, only a generation or two according to the life span of your kind, and they are already looking to the stars with hungry eyes. What kind of threat might those monsters pose once they come close to your level of technological progression? [[DoUntoOthersBeforeTheyDoUntoUs What might you do to mitigate such a threat]]?

Apparently a part of the reason why farmed bees stay in the beehives that humans build for them is because the farm hives are safer and sturdier. I don't know how a busy Discord server's worth of bugs that only have one brain cell each would logically conclude that the humans protect them from outside threats, illness and parasites, but if I understood right, the bees would be free to move away and build a new nest somewhere else any time they'd want, and they simply choose not to.

You know how in almost every culture, people have some concept of "if I sacrifice something that I made/grew/produced to the Gods, they will ward me and my harvest from evil"?

So, in a way, don't the bees willingly sacrifice a part of their harvest to an entity not only far greater than them, but nearly beyond their comprehension, in exchange for protection against natural forces wildly outside of their own control?

So tell me, beekeepers, what are you to your bees, if not a mildly eldritch God?

->''Every day, more ancient artifacts pop up. Given their [[MouseWorld size]] and unknown purpose, scholars believe "Giants" roamed these lands. They could have existed all over the known world, in giant kingdoms to protect them from the Dead Lands. When the "Day of Awakening" happened, the Giants must have vanished. Only their artifacts remain. There's no way to know, is there? Maybe they caused the awakening themselves. Perhaps they fell to the Dead Lands, or created them themselves. Maybe someday they will return to reclaim their old home? Maybe they have left for another world? I'm a bug of facts, but even I am reduced to daydreaming about their fate. At least we have their monuments, showing us glimpses of days past.''

Yes, Man. Human in shape but satanic in spirit, Man likes to spend most of his time destroying things because he is worse than the Devil if he was a pedophile. You can spot the especially bad ones by having: two-dimensional personalities, being written horribly and having a chin that even Bruce Campbell would be jealous of. They kidnap animals, burn down rainforests and probably slept with your mother. If you should see Man anywhere in your neighborhood, please make a pretentious animated feature with confused morals and no sympathetic, three dimensional villains. Man: if there’s anything worse, it’s not human.
