captainofalltheships:

you know how most alien species that attack earth are portrayed as these monsters that travel from planet to planet consuming all resources and destroying all life?

usually the first planet they ruin is their home planet

and every so often i get this needling thought that is becoming my greatest nightmare: 

humanity is going to become an intergalactic plague of locusts 

the monsters of our stories were us all along
