cynicalbroad replied to your post: also let’s talk about the fact that yeerks do not...
Enrichment is also, debatably, a need. Surviving doesn’t equate to truly living. At any rate it’s 100% true they don’t need to take hosts because they could all just morph to another species after making a deal for access to the morphing cube but y'know
I’m talking about crucial biological needs as in literally “do this or die”
Humans absolutely must eat or we will literally fucking die. No ifs ands or buts. If we don’t eat, WE DIE.
Yeerks, on the other hand, do not need a host. They will not literally fucking die if they don’t have a host.
Just the opposite, in fact! They literally cannot survive IN a host! They will literally die if they stay in their host too long! It’s detrimental to their fucking health! The entire time they’re in a host they’re slowly starving to death!
My post is about whether or not having a host is a requirement to their suvival the way eating is absofuckinglutely a requirement to human survival.
I’m not fucking talking about “enrichment”. I’m talking about actual physical fucking requirements for being alive.
Humans NEEDÂ to eat or THEY WILL DIE
Yeerks WILL NOT DIE if they don’t have a host.
also Jesus fuck what.
what the
What is with this fandom and thinking that aliens committing genocide against themselves is the right way to go?????
They yeerks don’t fucking need hosts. And they sure as fuck don’t fucking need to fucking comit self-genocide by morphing to another fucking species.
There’s fucking nothing wrong with yeerks in their natural state. They aren’t fucking inferior to other races. They don’t fucking need to see to be worthy of fucking living. They don’t need to fucking have arms and legs to be worthy of living.
They do not fucking require hosts to live WHICH MEANS THEY DON’T FUCKING! REQUIRE! HOSTS!
THEY CAN COMMUNICATE AND INTERACT AND THRIVE IN THEIR POOLS ALL BY THEMSELVES IN THEIR NATURAL STATE.Â
THEY DID NOT EVOLVE TO REQUIRE HOSTS FOR ONE SINGLE STEP OF THEIR LIFE CYCLE!Â
AND GUESS WHAT THAT MEANS??
That means they developed language and culture all on their own in their pools in their natural state.Â
They communicate with one another in the poo. They interact with one another in the pool. THEY HAVE THEIR OWN LANGUAGE, THEIR OWN CULTURE, THEIR OWN JOKES AND GAMES AND EVERY SINGLE OTHER THING THAT’S PART AND PARCEL OF BEING A SENTIENT BEING.
Yeerks do not need hosts to have lives worth living.
People do not need to be able to see or hear or walk or run or smell or speak to have lives worth living.
People do not have to be human to have lives worth living.
The yeerks should not have to become another species to have a life worth living.
They did not evolve to require hosts for anything.
Which means they do not need hosts for anything.
They do not need hosts to survive. They do not need hosts to live. They do not need hosts to communicate and interact and have friends and enemies and fall in love.
Yeerks do not need hosts.
And they are CERTAINLY NOTÂ better off committing suicide than living in their natural bodies.
You do not need to see to have a life worth living.
You do not need to hear to have a life worth living.
You do not need to be able to walk and run to have a life worth living.
THE YEERKS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO COMMIT GENOCIDE AGAINST THEIR OWN RACE TO HAVE LIVES WORTH LIVING!
