something has always bothered me about "aliens" in fiction
Sometimes the "aliens" in fiction aren't alien enough, but that's okay. This ended up being a lot about my D&D campaign where I played a Mindflayer who cooperated with the party and that got me thinking about this. Something different for you all to take a break from everything going on.
