For the last week or so I have been having a couple of weird thoughts about mantids. Which kinda blows my mind. I will try to keep it short hopefully yous guys can chime in. Also because I lost a much longer and better post which disappeared haha. So the following will be disjointed.
This started when MM pointed out there are mantids and mantids primes. And it went Ding! on seeing the trigger words "opens up a can of worms".
Q1. Mantid interactions and culture.
MM mentioned Mantid primes for humans and mantids for Domain IS-BEs and supporters. They have different instructions or cultures. And mantids have their own MWI. This suggests there are Mantid Worlds much as we have a human world. This is my starting point.
We humans interact with each other. We keep pets. We have politics. We eat everyday. So does this carry on into mantid world?
Interaction with other mantids in mantid world. Most likely, mantids are probably social animals like us. At the end of the day, they go down to mantid bar or club and talk shop or something.
Q2. Are mantids our guardians or something?
Probably. But what if it's more than a guardian because that breaks no new ground. MM's example of us in a fishtank got me thinking. What if the mantids are more like fishkeepers. One mantid, one tank of 100 fish.
Human fishkeepers : Aquariums with snails, shrimp and assortment of other beings. Some fishkeepers have more advanced tanks than others. Some are breeding fish for fun or for the market.
Mantid fishkeepers: Some mantids only only keep humans, there are mantids who breed sentients.
Q3. Mantid society for bad and evil fishkeepers
So mantids would have societies. Some join the Mantid Society of Fallen Fishkeepers where they discuss ways to torment and pervert their fish. Shades of <insert Satan or evil entity of choice>. In mantidworld, such associations are frowned upon but they may be powerful enough to exert an influence on our world. Illegal societies are frowned upon in human world but they exist underground nonetheless.
Q4. Mantid bars? And other aspects of mantid lives.
If mantids are sociable they go to mantid bars for a drink. They talk shop, they hook up, they form alliances. Fish and humans are only one aspect of their lives.
Q4.1 Do they have emotions? Yes.
Q4.2 Do they meet with each other? Yes.
Q4.3 Do they procreate? No idea.
Q4.4 Are they further up the food chain? Definitely. We are the goldfish.
Q4.5 Do they eat? No idea. Maybe feeding on emetions or something.
There's a lot of speculation here.
Q5. Struggle by the Fallen Fishkeepers?
Maybe there is a society or movement by disaffected Mantid Fishkeepers. A Society of Fallen Fishkeepers who want a different outcome than what the Domain or any other party envisions. Since we Mantids are top of the food chain, we don't need to listen to the Domain or anybody else.
Because mantids direct and channel humans. (Maybe we are hybrid goldfish+pawns.) Pawns in a greater game.
Manifesto : We want the destruction of ALL the community tanks unless ownership is transferred to us. These are our demands!! Blahblah
The Fallen Fishkeepers demands and works towards the elimination normal fish. By perversion via pornography. By vaccinating all the normal fish.
In mantid world, there is a struggle going on. A struggle between good and evil.
I just have some speculation here but we have to start somewhere.
Thus endeth my rambling.
