[WP] The Galactic Council boasts of over 200k member species, and they're very proud that not a single Deathworld has ever marred their 'perfect blend.' The Deathworld Council only had 26 member species, but they get along much better, and they're very happy to have humanity as their 27th member	548
[WP] Humans are known to be ruthless in battle, stopping for nothing until victory is had. So everyone was quite surprised when the humans stopped fighting in a war for a moment to save an innocent creature, resuming the fight only after they knew creature was safe.	445
[WP] Precursors like to help young species in much the same way that some people like to help stray cats. Humans are raccoons, being helped by the precursor equivalent of a respected but nearly blind old person. Other precursors are confused while other young species just think we're odd cats	437
[WP]"But sir, Jessie and James are terrible henchs" "And yet they have managed to competently save the world multiple times. I like existing. They like working here. Even if they never save the world again, doubtful, considering the world, they have more than earned their place in this organization"	431
[WP] It turns out that the aliens we had first contact with were trying just as hard to keep their weirdos out of sight as NASA was to keep ours out of sight, for almost all of the same reasons. Cat's out of the bag now, though	429
[WP] You're a regular mortal with a regular family. After a very odd "meet cute," you're now dating the anthropomorphic personification of Death. You got to meet their family, and it went really well. Now they're going to meet yours and they are terrified that they'll make a bad first impression.	394
[WP] "Well, the galactic standard for sentience basically boils down to 'does the species as a whole recognize itself when shown a mirror,' so it's pretty rare. Most worlds only produce one such species, which, if recognized as sentient, then gains a council seat. Why do you ask?"	383
[WP] Supervilliany isn't a matter of morality, it's a matter of obsession. If you have the kind of obsessive interest it takes to pursue a doctorate in a field that's not readily financially lucrative then you've said or heard the phrase "I'll show you! I'll show you all!" at some point in academia	381
[WP] Secret Identities are hard to keep secret, which is why The Arrangement exists. So long as you don't go after loved ones and don't make a show of outing someone, everything else is fair game. A 'new player' has decided that this is foolish. It is your job to show them the error of their ways.	354
[WP] "You do know that the gender swap spell is supposed to be a curse, right?" asked the witch, still a little confused by her visitor's request	347
