Oh boy I think I'm slowly improving. You won't notice it in my videos, but there are TONS of retakes. Some sentences I end up redoing twenty times before I can get through it without stumbling over my words. So if a particular section doesn't sound like it's quite right for the mood, you'll know that's probably where I was having trouble reading the sentence and just became so tired after rereading it over and over again.
Also, I know there are a lot of things that just don't make sense in the story, such as the ship spinning and making Krill dizzy even though they are in space with no true up and down. I'm not the one who wrote these and they are years old at this point so I'll ask you to cut the author a break. That's not to say dont comment about it, feel free to do so and discuss your thoughts with others!

My question is how do they even get it though.
@@juggernautbam2253 the term 'black market' should ring some bells
Aw dude! You didn’t save any for us!
It's the space equivalent of licking a frog
@@juggernautbam2253 artificial synthesis of a chemical is fairly easy, finding a chemical like dopamine with nothing but trial and error would take forever but take a small sample from a human or other earth creature brain and it's not too hard to mass produce.
Lmao, that ending.
Humans now sells Dopamine to other species that want to get "high".
Dear god, i can only imagine
Me too kid
Humans, the living drug factory.
@@juggernautbam2253 Me, scratching and looking like a depressed meat puppet: Y'all got any more of that Dopamine?
That actually was kind of a grime outcome in my mind since unless they have a method to synthesize dopamine that would mean they would likely have to harvest it from living humans which is quite a grim thought.
“From the Intergalactic Journal of Mechanics and Biology: ‘Pro-Gamer Moves’”
XD not gonna lie, had to read that out loud for myself
A journal that covers just the captain, robot leg, one eye, computer access socket all in a human.
I like to imagine that on a port city somewhere in the galaxy there's just a shady dude in an alley wearing a trench coat and glasses occasionally stopping alien passers by asking them " hey kid, you wanna buy some dopamine? "
Yes please… I seem to be deficient…
Wait are they killing humans to get it?
"Hey man, I don't make the stuff I just sell it"
yo i WISH i had more dopamine

Try immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin.
I'm just completely glad it wasn't prefaced with "Hey Y'all watch this!" ... They would have hit the first rock.
people with adhd or autism would blow the alien's minds, since we can hyper-focus even relative to other humans
Exactly what I was thinking. The ability to hyperfocus and obsess at the exchange of sensitivities and social deficiencies, makes it seem like what some may call an illness or something gone wrong just a side-grade. As is with the intent in calling it neurodivergence, which is much more apt than treating anyone's mind like an illness.
@@ZephanyZephZeph imagine mixing hyper focus with adderall (no idea how to spell it)
ADHD Kids Rise Up!
I was thinking the same! "Some humans have different neuronal pathways and wiring from their counterparts, adding to the oddity that is humankind. These humans seem to constantly be in a dopamine deficiency and there attention spam is even shorter than the average human, sometimes not even lasting long enough for the human to realise it is doing something. On the other hand, these humans can enter "The Zone" on a heightened level. They call it hyperfocus. [...]"
I just think we're remnants of a highly specialised class of humans dedicated to focusing on things from our hunting/predation days that somehow haven't found a place in a modern setting.
"Humans are the universes new high." That killed me for a few seconds ngl
“Whatup my glip glops! Free samples of crystalline dopamine, 86 hijuns a klam after this.”
Finally another one. Humans are space orcs is a fun series.
Yeah it is, I just went on a binge of them
@@therealme1362 same
Ye
Especially this series, with these characters
This is literally better than every book, anime, movie or game Ive ever seen. 20/10 it’s fricking awesome. Feels like I won the lottery watching this series, thank you diamondWillow
Any chance this series will be animated, i would love to see the "they are bright fucking pink" ep animated.
agreed
Seconded.
I'll give that a third
A fourth for me as well then.
I'm here as fifth
I love getting into "the zone", the amount of happiness one feels when he surpasses all the odds is something unreal, it's like betting against the universe with less than a 1% chance of winning, AND WINNING PERFECTLY
I tend to get into that zone whenever I go full contact sparring at European equivalent of HEMA club or when I do challenge runs in SoulsBorne series

Looks at clock... OH!?
Can confirm The Zone exists, and every time in enter it I forget to blink.
same. By the time i notice my eye is already blood shot
Now I'm picturing: "Hit it."

I was thinking Warthog Run.
Adding '7 Nation Army' to this list
I swear, the fact that someone has not already made a show or series depicting humans as space orcs is a shame, so much untapped potential, but with your videos it gives me hope that someone will pick it up. Your voice really brings out the best of the story
I have found a couple other TH-cam channels that do stories humans are space orcs and stories like it I could pass them on if you would like. I dont think any of those ones are doing this set of stories which is awesome though
Have you not seen Warhammer 40K lore?
@@robertwalker5794 I have heard it’s excellent many times but I haven’t gotten around to looking any of it up yet
@@antip3rion857 It really is. I highly recommend Arch Warhammer as I think he is the best lore channel though, I will admit he’s a bit controversial but I don’t care.
@@antip3rion857 There is also luetin, 40k theories, and Bricky. Sadly, it isn't as whack as this HFY (dark/gold age stuff). Still pretty cool though.
I dont remember what its called, but there is a similar set of stories to these on Reddit where an Alien species tries to take over earth only to get taken out by the natural wild life and weather conditions, I would love to hear you read those stories as well!
Could you provide a link for that set of stories? I’d like to read it.
i think there was also a movie where aliens invaded, but water turned out to be extremely toxic to them
@@DWal32 Sounds like War of the Worlds, where they all get a bacteria infection and die.
Ill see if I can find it, its an OLD link somewhere though
Earth is space Australia
I would love to see a short on an aliens reaction to Warhammer 40K. Not a video in Warhammer 40K, but Krill learning about the lore and just being terrified at the imagination of humanity to create something so terrifying and bat-shit crazy.
And then seeing Orks, and a human going "Is this how you see us?!"
I am so happy that the algorithm is beginning to favor you. Just don't feel the need to force content out or burn yourself out as your channel grows!
Yeah no, take as much time as needed for this series. (Personally not a fan of the MLP stuff, but hey, if you like drawing it then continue with it)
Thank you for the support! Not all drawings will be mlp worry not, next couple of drawings will be more dragon art ^u^
@@diamondwillow1191 yay dragons!!
@@diamondwillow1191 Personally don´t really like mlp but I like your style, would love to see how you draw any of the aliens of this stories, drev and addaptoids are my favorites. Would like to sy why but that goes to close to spoiler territory. 2 questions
1) If you read more than what you recorded wich is your favorite race?
2) I can´t wait to the first contact "arc" (to call it something).
@@diamondwillow1191 dragons are cool, horses are cool. What is the term, “do as thou wilt”? Though I prefer “Tat vam asi” or colloquially: “that which is”. I think; if you challenged yourself to do an anatomical version of a Pegasus, even of your OCs, no one here would raise an eyebrow. Your line work is there honey
What's cool about those stories is that even if the way they depict humans is always a bit exagerated , because they show the "best" of the humans , even the best of our worst traits if that makes sense but it inspires me to try and be like that and not just mediocre like we usually settle for. So that in the eventuality that we go to space and meet alien, those stories become true.
When I read that Captain vil gave a warcry, all I could hear was "LEEROY JERKINS!"

One of the first times I experienced this was in highschool. I was on my last day for a short story of your preffered topic, and while I had a basic outline, I had not hardly started.
In 30 minutes, I cranked out a story so good I got a 3.5 (A+) From the strictest english teacher in lincoln highschool. She was actually impressed with what I had pumped out in half an hour, and I thought it wasn't that good. To this day, however, I have tried whenever I get an inspiration going, and many more flowstate writings have impressed the youtube comments sections.
And yes, I AM writing a book.
I did the same back in college. I forgot to write a story or report for a class then I would remember an hour before class and write a paper that netted me an A. If I wrote one in advance I would get a lower grade. LOL.
I spent several nights in the library at university in a flowstate just reading books and pumping out thousands of words in a few short hours.
The power of doing things last minute!
when writing my first and only story. I was listening to the "spin me right round" song on repeat.
the music seeming to "unlock" more brain power for me to write with. songs without words are better for this.
It seems I'm almost immediately on videos on release nowadays.... I SEE THIS AS AN ABSOLUTE WIN!
Imagine having a healthy nervous system that actually provides enough quantities of dopamine for you to function correctly lmao
This comment was made by the depression gang
f for the depression gang and a word of advise for those who want it, "motivation doesn't come from feeling like doings something, it's an inspiration to do more, often coming about after already working toward a goal -something akin to momentum."
imagine living in a society designed for people rather than industry, where depression is not nearly so induced in the population and is properly treated when it does.
@@cageybee7221 what a silly suggestion lmao, love that kinda comedy fiction!
Hell yea, depression gang!
Hittin that Doom Music to not die. Respect.
About Krill being dizzy and falling to the floor when deflated; I've just assumed the U.S.S. Stabby has false gravity systems, since the sleeping episode described comfy sleeping positions instead of strapping in like I.S.S. or space shuttle astronauts have to do.
Could be the case of the leviathan wakes? Flying the ship fast enough to create artificial gravity?
@@elijahaitaok8624 that requires constant acceleration, so no. The only momentum-based artificial gravity pheasible is a rotating ring, A La _the martian._
@@elijahaitaok8624 so it's probably just Sci-fi tech. Alternatively, all magnetic fields do in fact produce a sort of repulsion effect to all matter, albeit much weaker than normal magnetism. It could be that thr human artificial gravity systems are just MASSIVE magnets in the cieling, but that would mess with radio comms and electronics big time, not to mention pull every ferrous asteriod within 30 feet to slam into you, So I doubt it's that. It's probably just unnamed scifi tech artificial gravity on the U.S.S. Stabby.
@@justsomejerseydevilwithint4606 I remember hearing somewhere that such a constant rate of acceleration is possible, even the time it takes to get from the asteroid belt to Titan is accurate for such acceleration too. While it seems pretty far fetched today remember that even the Write brothers thought that intercontinental flight wouldn’t happen for at least ten thousand years.
One way to handle this could be similar to the way the expanse does. For the first half of the trip you are constantly accelerating, with the ship laid out so the direction of travel is 'up' compared to the way the crew stand. Then for the second half of the trip you flip the ship around and constantly decelerate until you arrive. Granted that only works during transit and also granted somone will doubtless comment and point out how wrong I've gotten this.
Now I would like to see you do one of these Krill adventures with Humans story to have a segment on Nerodivergents such as ADHD. Another episode Idea would be to have the crew visit the elderly Humans and or Human children so that Krill can learn more about humans in those time periods of there lives.
(It would be funny to see how Krill manages with some human children wanting to learn as much about Krill since Krill's most likely the first non-human sapient the children have seen.)
it would be funny but there is alien reports on daycare already.
I subbed a day ago and already new content. I am blessed.
6:10 *I need a hero plays on the background.*
thank you, what song would you [lay if you were wired into a spaceship- I'd probably do something like "Gimme the Prize"
I love this series. Every time a new one comes out I go through the whole playlist again. "In the zone" as it were 😉
great channel, found you a few days ago. I used to love when PM Seymour read this on his channel.
I need THIS ONE IN PARTICULAR...
To be animated and voice acted, because tbh, it sounds fucking baller...
i feel somewhat sorry for Krill but on the other hand.
hes gonna have a lot of fun. human fun.
The grin and face that the captain had, I remember it on my face in certain situations. I love listening to the series, when I drinking some ☕
As always, this is an amazing series. Something that would be neat is if you and P.M.Seymour worked together on Humans are Space Orcs. Also I wonder on how aliens would react to the idea of orcs.
Love these stories so much. Humans really are strange and terrifying things aren't we?
I've got to say, you're my favorite Humans are Space Orcs/HFY reader, and this series of stories is some of the best
bruh, finished watching the playlist like 5 minutes ago only to find a new one, this shit is gold
every time the captain speaks, I can't help but imagine him as an Americanized Captain Price... What a neat character.
Great reading and art, keep it up!
Man I really want to see this animated!
“Krill wasn’t sure what he should have expected, but it surely wasn’t the frantic drum line and roll of electronic guitars”
(Transformers “You got the Touch” intensifies.)
Aaah HAH there it is. Krill doesn't hear sounds like we do. No wonder he couldn't hear the snoring
I think we can all agree he put on Freebird. Dying isnt allowed when Freebird is playing.
I have no clue to why I got sent to you and the other "humans are space orcs" channels but I am glad it did. I love these stories.
I discovered this yesterday... please make more im adicted or something.
For some reason youtube recommended me one of your videos, and my god i feel in love. idk if you make yourself the short storys or if your are only curating and narrating them to us but thank you very much for your work, it is truly appreciated. Keep it up, i already shared you with all of my friends. much love
"In a show of deference to their most dominant male, the rest of the human crew grew silent" - this line got me. I love Krills comments!
Wow youtube kept reccomending this series for me until I wached and I love it so much! I even started reading the book myself.
Thanks for your work Willow, now I can't read Krills lines without hearing your voice.
LETS Fing GOOO NEW EP POG
“Humans are the universe’s new high.” 😂
Finally
Agh, I have been waiting for 2 hours since I binged watched your videos
Happy week to you too!
Definitely getting some C3PO and Han Solo vibes with this one.
"Never tell me the odds!"
I spent every day waiting *PAINFULLY* for the next installment of this series. Thank you, for my medicine. :>
these sound like watered down infantry stories
All of these are really solid looking forward to new ones!
After finding this channel only earlier today, this does put a smile on my face
"Humans were the universes new high"
Nice
I just recently found out about this trope of Humans are space orcs and I gotta say. I am loving your stories. Really making me appreciate our biology such as it is.
I've discovered your channel just 3 days ago. I must say that I love what you do with humans are space orcs. Your storytelling is very good, and while others stories of the genre have either a tendency to lose the focus of the story in order to add elements to explain why humans are awesome, or they have a tendency to describe aliens as some sort of "incompetent" life-forms, the fact that you put a specific human functioning in the center of the story to develop further why it is particular (with scientific justifications, moreover) really helps to catch the "space orcs" vibe.
In other words, please continue this series for as long as you can, 'cause you do it very well
Love your voice and all of these stories, this one was particularly exiting and fun. Keep up the good work with your videos and don't overwork yourself fellow space orc! :)
These episodes make my day, thank you
Im getting addicted and Im loving it
This series is complete comedy gold, not to mention your voiceover is relaxing and engaging
Ahhh, the zone. Where distractions are meaningless, and all non relevant thought ceases. Decisions are made before you even consider them, and movement happens almost without effort. Inspiration, skill, instinct, and plain ole reaction time. It truly is an amazing feeling when it happens. I've had it when writing, speaking, playing competitive video games, or even reading. There are very few times when I feel the amount of stimulation of my senses is perfect, but its always when I'm in The Zone
I love the resurgence of 'Humans are space orcs' and I can highly recommend 'Earth is space australia' as well, especially the once focused on aliens meetings with earth animals. There are also a bunch of long form stories of the same style.
For space orc I love 'spite' and 'compassion'
Adam Vir. One Eyed Rocket Jockey. Blasting CCR’s Fortunate Son, singing along in a key that makes you think he has personal beef with John Fogerty, while dodging chunks of space rock is an image that gives me life.
I never knew I needed this, at first I thought you were the writer and the narrator. But obviously I know now that you're not. but until the writer decides to stop, I would love for this series to continue. I've seen other people attempt and make videos on humans are space Orks, but yours are just special. I don't know why, but they are.
Saw these pop up in my recommended, was unsure what to think until i clicked on the venomous saliva vid
Now im hooked. The author did a great job writing this and you did the same voicing it!
Help, I’ve started deep diving into this series. Not only you but other creators as well, this is the most entertaining thing, to me, I’ve watched in forever.
I only just found this channel and have now binged all the videos and I'm eagerly looking forward to the next one!
Few other things have brought the sheer adrenaline surge in my life as much as last Saturday, car meet/cruise turned into roll race day. Passing a group of a Viper ACR, R8 V10, and a bright red ZL1 Camaro at 130mph on the outside of a 2 lane highway turn having a dinner date with the very edge of traction sliding around on the dusty road
I absolutely love your content and won’t stop watching. I don’t know what else to say other than...
“you’re doin good lad” - the amazing demoman.
Ah, these are great to listen to before bed. Interesting but relaxing, their short length is perfect, better than any audio book.
Bruh this series got me on a binge
i love things like this cause they portray humans as a race that’s as unique as other aliens and not as the universe’s punching bag like most stories do
found your channle recently and im loving the HFY content keep it up you have a rely good voice
I’m so happy I found your channel. It’s so cool that your able write and narrate a story that takes the perspective of someone of another species and explain his experience with humans. It’s especially great that it’s not just an outside report of his finding but a personal one, with conversations and the like. I really hope you able to expand the story even further, and I’ll be eagerly waiting for the next report of doctor Krill and his adventures and realizations with the humans on the USS Stabby.
On a side note I really hope your thinking on writing a book for this. I would buy that in a heartbeat.
Keep it up I love this so for.
I just realized from reading your about page that these aren’t your stories, but these are a fantastic narration of said stories. You have a great voice for this stuff.
If you ever get the chance to talk to the writer please ask him or her if there thinking on making this a book or not. Thanks in advance.
Lol I have indeed talked with the author and he is in the process of editing and collecting all the stories together into a book ^u^
Just gonna thank you for recording these. This is fantastic. Keep it up!
I love these videos, I found them yesterday and I've watched them all now, I hope that you plan on making more.
Watched all the videos and thought they were amazing.
Love the concept of humanity somehow being extremophiles in the grand scheme of intergalactic life despite all odds; it really brings back some wonder and hope that was missing in recent sci
You have done a phenomenal job with these stories. I would love to hear more "humans are space orcs" work in the future!
Please do more videos soon! These are GREAT!!! 💚👽💚
Watched another channel just cause it popped up in recommended didn’t even get a quarter through the video before I couldn’t listen. I like YOUR videos of this the most nothing can beat this.
You have no right to be as good at this as you are, you're genuinely incredible!
There is no greater joy than doing something difficult that you are good at.
Imagine being an alien buying dopamine and getting scammed because you lack dopamine receptors
It will be nice to see this getting restarted. I was rather sad when seymour stopped the series.
I wish you luck in getting this series setup
The captain gave a loud shout, one that krill now recognised as a human war cry; "LEEEROOOOOY JEEEENKIINSSSS"
Found this channel today, what a great find indeed
found this channel last weak, its absolutely amazing. hope you grow even more
Aliens looking at humans working a job that they are overly qualified for:"The humans appear to be bored"
Aliens looking at me working on something that I am overly qualified for:"This human seems interested in checking if documents match even though that is a very easy task"
My brain:"Baby shark! Du-du-du-du-du-du! Baby shark! Du-du-du-du-du-du! Baby shark! Du-du-du-du-du-du! Baby shark! Mommy shark (etc.)"
The whole series brought me a huge smile. Never had I thought of how peculiar humans are!
Keep going! These are great!
Drawings are really good aswell!
hehe, made you look :)
Lets goooo, i binge watched your whole channel few hours ago. Love your content
"Highway Star" of Deep Purple plays at the moment the captain says "Hit it".
Just binged all your videos, and now I'm left craving more.
Oh so much more...
Really love the narration and the fact there's also the text on the screen in case i couldn't get something, definitely subbing! Also, i'm a huge fan of 'Humans are space orcs' so i'd definitely prefer more of that!
“HIGHWAY TO THE DANGERZONE!!!!”
-Krill’s captain
Reading is fun but hearing someone else read is in some cases even better
This most definitely is one such case
Thank you and please continue
Also
Your channel is the only one I found until now that I watched and liked all videos (out at this point in time)
