Before I just had one tic where I would turn my head to the left really fast but that was it for a while. Then yesterday day I developed a tic where I barked or more accurately arfed.and then today I developed another one where I present my paw like I’m being told to shake. This has been a very interesting development these past few days :3

In the story we have the classics: Attacking another sophont, fighting against the Affini, not being able to care for oneself, being an outspoken feralist or someone who abuses or abused their power.

But there are some other, less discussed ways that should also lead to getting florted on a compulsory basis, so come up with one, I start:

Being an anti-vaxxer: Not vaccinating yourself or trying to avoid it is bad for your life and health and that of others, being outspoken about it can convince others to also become anti-vaxxers also hurting themselves and others. The Affini would also likely make vaccination mandatory, meaning that being an anti-vaxxer might even be seen as a form of feralism.

This is pretty similar, but being against modern medicine would likely also get you florted. Through refusing to take it and trying to avoid it, you are a danger to yourself and if you are trying to convince others, you are also a threat to others.

I got banned from florets retreat and would like to know why, user is tgirl_raina. I was told I was only getting a warning not a ban and I never got a ban message but I can't join the server anymore and I got removed from the server

It's my first story/fic I've written in years. My writing and knowledge on the setting is very rusty but I 100% accept any sort of criticism, tidbits, resources, comments, etc on how to improve. I want it to be a slowburn story in some ways, and I've been religiously reading multiple wikis and other works for inspiration. I hope yall enjoy the first chapter! It's short, and I know in future chapters that are longer I may fumble HARD if I havent already with managing multiple characters. I'm doing this out of pure indulgence but I wanna make sure I get it right ;w;

EDIT: TYSM CADENCE!!! I was informed I shoudlnt put cross fandom tags for the fic as to not expose people outside of the community to HDG unwillingly. I saw some people who have done crossovers (like with Helldivers for example) tag both fandoms, but now I knkw this is not proper etiquette for this setting! Tysm to her for the info!! :D

Similar to the last question I asked, but this time in general.

The Affini, when dealing with florets, seem to have a very individualized and specific approach to problem-solving. But when talking about actual Affini combat, there's a lot of focus on their speed, dexterity, xenodrugs, but not on the actual weapons they use beyond injectors and gas.

I figure with their approach, they would at least be somewhat likely to go out of their way to use individualized, master-crafted weapons rather than hold W and spam left click until all those dirty feralists (human rights activists) have been domseticated. Would they have any equivalents of machine guns, rifles, artillery, aircraft, or tanks? What do they like to use for long range to BVR combat? Do they have specific weapons for bringing down enemy tanks and jets to ground to tear out the crew? How portable are firebreak systems, could it be something like a specialist weapon deployed every so often or would every Affini rifleman carry one?

I was actually in the process of writing a loosely-Brigador-inspired SFW fic about an Affini invasion of a habitable colony that already broke off from the Accord to secure their own survival (before cancelling it after realizing nobody would care to read it, and that anyone who did would only hate it), and wondered what the equivalent of a motorized rifle platoon or squad of the Affini would look like. I was thinking they'd use xenodrug-firing accurate dart guns, but with tactics resembling that of a disorganized hunting party that each just wanna shoot shit with their favorite guns and clearly aren't taking this whole war business seriously. Each of the dozen or so hunters actually seen having their own unique weapon, if one at all.

I figure even the xenodrug gas would have to be shot out by something, like sprayers, orbital cannons, grenades, esc...

Attention: This is a slightly silly post.

Note: This is a mix out of a silly question, shitpost and RP, but I could only add one flair.

I mean I thought that I had a little bit better job security as a floret than during my previous job in the Terran Accord. I believed that I could not that easily be replaced by automation, robots or AI, but I am now kinda worried. I found an article about robot-pets from more than 500 years ago, great article btw, but it made me think. Those robot pets were never really that successfull, but they are still kinda cute and adorable and with more modern technology, their cuteness could be brought to another level, maybe even surpassing my own. This however would not be a reason to be alarmed in and of itself, as they aren't sapient and Affini typically prefer sapient pets. But with their tech, they might be able to create a sapient AI (I do not understand Affini tech, so take this with a massive grain of salt). Will Mistress replace me with a sapient AI?

So I just woke up after passing out mid read(I was reading divaraicated from like 10:00pm to like 2:30am and passed out) and the entire time I was dreaming of affini coming and domesticating me and pumping me full of class Gs and to be honest I need it I NEED IT (insert that one SpongeBob meme).

I NEED THE AFFINI TO BE REAL AND TO FUCKING COME TAKE OVER THE PLANET. I just want to be loved and cared for by hot plant mommies who make me a good girl for them.

Maybe you are just curious after being told about it by florets, so you want to try it out.

Could you just ask your nice affini neighbour/coworker/aquaintance/friend?

Omfg I read that through the entirety of robo's hdg and like 3 fics classified as "very long" I love this shit and if the affini were real I would be so willing to be a pet, just a bit iffy on the implant. I want to keep my brain fully functioning

I'm looking to do a standard domestication rp.

i have no idea what the hell i am. i have no idea what the hell is going on in my mind. i hope the affini can do experiments on me to figure it out? or the implant can tell them? i would love to finally know what i am 🥺

Hey, look, Its É-claire!

LET ME OUT OF THE 2000s TERRAN LIFE VR SIMULATION, I WANN GO BACK TO REAL LIFE AS A FLORET WITH MY AFFINI OWNER!!!!! IM NOT BORED ANYMORE I PROMISE!!!!!! PLS BRING ME OUT OF THIS!!!! I LUV U AFFINI OWNER!!!!!! IM SRRY!!!!!!
