Patience

everybodys-favourite-fanboy:

So, if you go back a little through my blog, youll see i was recently reblogging and looking at a lot of ‘Humans are space Australians’ and similar tags. And I was thinking about the impatience thing how that was supposedly like a pure ‘predator thing’, but like

its not?

think about. Its seen a lot in nature. Fish using lights as lures for prey. Leopards standing at the edge of water, waiting to catch a crocodile or, hell, even scavengers do it, like when crows or buzzards follow other larger predators like wolves and bears to eat the left over corpse.

impatience isnt a predator thing. Patience is. And our mode of hunting is best suited for it. We’re pursuit predators, our whole thing is waiting and to keep going long after anything else would have stopped.

So imagine thats one of the things we are known for. Sure, we’re impatient at times, how else would we have become so advanced, but when the moment needs it we can sit silent for hours at a time,

barely breathing,

eyes moving, always moving. sometimes our body deceptively loose so that at any moment we can move into immediate action.

Imagine were part of some investigation, and afer every other alien has tried to question a suspect or w/e, a human walks in and just

sits there

looking at them, not saying anything, maybe looking at files, and this last for hours. And sometimes the human would pace, still looking at files, maybe drinking something. But this just puts the suspect on edge until finally they break down out of fear or being tired

just my thoughts. Anyone else?
