Your alien au looks interesting! What are your favorite character dynamics in the au (platonic, romantic, etc.)?

thank you im glad you like them! favorite character dynamics huh....... platonic relationships are definitely the core of this au, mainly the leonimmj stuff that comes out of oops we are the first link between our two species reconnecting but it turns out we all get along pretty well and despite all the chaos of aliens visiting earth for the first time in a long time (so long that humans forgot that aliens are real) were managing to have a good time.

and also the wxs dynamics. i especially love the emukasa dynamic here. it could be a romantic ship long term but im not committed to that happening it isnt that important. theyre a really funny friendship though. emu abducted tsukasa to bring him onto the slug planet (he was part of a space exploration crew, was doing some solo probing in the solar system they had just arrived in and she got him then) with the expectation that hed get picked up since the slugs occasionally abduct people for fun to bring them down to their planet and most of the other aliens that visit know that they do this and just go and retrieve whoever got abducted within like a few hours but. the humans do not know that. they have never been here before. tsukasas crew assumes hes just dead and lost in space because they cant find him (oops). but now he gets to live with the slugs! and theres a bunch of silly shenanigans where he and emu cant understand each other but theyre stuck together because this weird man is the one SHE brought here so hes her problem now and they have to hunt down a translator to a human language (difficult to find, see again humans and aliens have not been in contact in a long time) so they can talk to each other properly. and once tsukasa gets over the "this girl kidnapped me" stuff they become very good friends

and also harusaki for a romantic pair because i always love them anyway but also its a little funny with saki being on the receiving end of the first direct contact from mmj and instead of being scared or anything she goes "holy shit cool giant monster girl" and they eventually end up very close over the course of mmjs time working with humans in a way that ends up leading to their sweet but silly dynamic thats pretty similar to canon (with some slight variation because theyre adults in this au and meet in adulthood)

oops thats a lot. sorry about that. enjoy my alien rambling i guess
