Write in the tags that movie you’ve seen so many times over so many years that even though you haven’t seen it in a bit, you can still recite every line as it happens
So I love the whole ‘humans are weird/space orcs’ thing going around.
But what if piercings/tattoos/cosmetic surgery are completely incomprehensible to aliens? Why would you pay large sums of currency to have holes put in your body, or dye stabbed into your skin, or your general body reconstructed?
Like
“Human Jared! I have not seen you since the beginning of shore- what is that? Are you injured? Why are there bits of metal in your auditory sense organs??”
“Huh? Oh! You like, Ar’se’kree? While I was on earth I got an industrial bar piercing. Rad, right? I got my tongue done too!”
Ar’se’kree briefly blacks out on seeing the metal ball in Human Jared’s tongue.
Or
“Human Sofia, why does Human Courtney have such strange paterns? Is she a subspecies? Are they for mating?”
“Haha, oh, no! Those are her tattoos, Oolreg! The paw prints are for her dogs, I think. And the tree one is to match her husband’s.”
“Ta… too?”
“Yeah! They use this machine to inject dye in your skin to make a picture.”
“I feel unwell, Human Sofia.”
Or even
“Human Marshall, you look different.”
“Haha, thanks, Vijal! I got my top surgery while we were on leave.”
“Surgery? Were you ill?”
“Not… technically? I had my breasts removed because they made my brain sad.”
“I… do not follow. Are they detachable?”
“Nah, just a little surgery. Nothing too bad. The incisions weren’t even that painful!”
