**Warning, long post.**
**Also please know I have a fascination with world-building so the lore we got in this panel really got my brain going a bit too much. This is all in good fun and not meant to spark a Human vs Primals comment war.**
**Also also I did take two days to write all if this down so there might be repetitions. But FA comment blocks aren't the best to proof-read yourself if you write a lot.**
That's quite the understatement when you think about it, and if you consider we more or less never see a human in the backgrounds when the characters are in a public space this does confirm a lot of rather depressing issues for humanity as a result of the coexistence with the Primals.
Just take the effects on the economics and the workforce:
- Primals' rapid maturity could lead to them entering the workforce at a much younger age compared to humans. This might create increased competition for jobs, especially in entry-level positions.
- Given their extended lifespans, Primals will dominate industries, accumulating experience and expertise over centuries, which might crowd out opportunities for humans.
- A human's career trajectory may appear short in comparison to the Primals' lengthy, continuous accumulation of skills and qualifications. Employers might favor Primals for roles requiring long-term continuity and deep institutional knowledge.
- If Primals are more productive or willing to work for lower wages (due to differences in economic needs or values), it could suppress wages for humans, exacerbating income inequality.
- Industries with high skill ceilings (e.g., medicine, engineering, or research) might see dominance by Primals, as their extended lifespans allow them to master complex fields.
- Conversely, industries that require youthful energy or frequent workforce renewal might remain human-dominated, creating a bifurcated labor market.
- The wealth gap between long-lived Primals and relatively short-lived humans might grow, with Primals accumulating wealth and resources over centuries, potentially leading to interspecies tensions.
- The presence of Primals might slow turnover in certain professions, as they would not need to retire or vacate roles as frequently as humans. This could hinder upward mobility for the younger human population.
- Younger humans might view the Primals as barriers to their own success, leading to resentment and social unrest.
- Humans might struggle with feelings of inferiority or reduced purpose in a world where they are overshadowed by beings with lifespans that allow for significantly greater achievements.
- Humans might struggle with feelings of inadequacy or insignificance when compared to Primals, who can achieve vastly more due to their longer lives and quicker maturity.
- A sense of futility might develop in some humans, leading to apathy or resentment, as they perceive their achievements as transient compared to the enduring legacies of Primals.
- Humans may view Primals as a threat to their cultural and historical legacy, as long-lived Primals might dominate storytelling, leadership, and institutions, overshadowing Xexian contributions.
- Humans could experience heightened anxiety and depression stemming from the awareness of their brief lifespans in contrast to Primals. This could lead to widespread social malaise, especially among younger generations.
- Over centuries, Primals might unintentionally or intentionally dominate cultural narratives, traditions, and histories, leading to a dilution or loss of Xexian cultural identity.
- Human achievements and events might fade more quickly from public consciousness, overshadowed by the enduring influence of Primals.
- Humans would need to dedicate decades to education and skill-building to compete with Primals, who can reach the same level of proficiency in a fraction of the time. This disparity might discourage humans from pursuing advanced education or highly specialized fields, leading to intellectual stagnation.
- Long-lived Primals might dominate leadership roles in government, business, and other institutions. This could marginalize humans, who would have less time to gain influence or power before their lives end.
- Laws and policies might increasingly favor the interests of Primals, as their longer tenures and institutional memory allow them to shape systems to their advantage.
- With Primals holding key positions for centuries, humans might feel disenfranchised, believing their shorter lives prevent them from having meaningful influence on society's direction.
- As Primals accumulate wealth, knowledge, and power over their extended lifespans, humans may find it harder to break into higher economic classes or influential positions.
- Primals might come to control significant resources, leaving humans reliant on their generosity or relegated to lower rungs of the socioeconomic ladder. This could create resentment or dependency.
- Humans' shorter lifespans and limited resources might stifle their ability to drive innovation. In contrast, Primals, with their long-term focus, might resist disruptive changes that could benefit humans but challenge the status quo.
- If Primals do not die as frequently as humans, the population could become skewed, leading to demographic pressures. Humans might feel overwhelmed or outnumbered in their own societies.

I was going to post something like this but you beat me to the punch.
I really don't think humans should be featured in this webcomic at all, especially with this recent revelation. Yes, I know they've made an appearance once or twice, but I think that can be hand-waved. All the issues you raise are valid ones and there really doesn't seem to be a non-horrible way of resolving them. Maybe all Primal/human offspring are essentially Primal and so the humans were literally bred to near extinction? Still kinda bleak (but what a way to go).
Leave the complicated, quixotic, convoluted and sometimes contradictory world building to Las Lindas :P

Yeah this sort of stuff really annoys me as a reader who wants to learn more about thr story's world. In rascals you basically get us regular humans or primal sapiens which are really just humans but better in every single way. It is also important to note the primals came to earth and not the other way around so on top of being biologically better they're also technologically superior and also have what we'd call superpowers since I don't think the ninja magic stuff we saw normal humans are capable of doing. Also aging quickly in nature is almost always the opposite of living long so primal get the best of both worlds with no downsides.
At least in the webcomic twokinds you have several sapient races but each have their own strengths and weaknesses that makes things feel relatively more balanced. Only reason humans feel superior in that twokinds is that they're better at taking advantage of their strengths than the other races and like real humans thrive in being the jack of all trades physiologically woth a few extra features.

It would be nice, but I think if it happens there will be a need to touch on some pretty important points considering the lifespan difference between Primals and human. Interspecies romances between humans and Primals face immense challenges due to their vastly different lifespans and maturity rates. Primals, who live for centuries and mature rapidly, experience recurring cycles of grief as they repeatedly outlive their humans partners. This inevitable loss often leads to emotional exhaustion or detachment, making it difficult for Primals to form deep, enduring connections. Meanwhile, humans may feel inadequate or expendable, haunted by the knowledge that their lives are but fleeting moments in the long existence of their Primal partners. This disparity creates an unequal emotional dynamic, where humans often invest more deeply, only to feel overshadowed by the temporal gulf between them.
The strain extends beyond the emotional realm into cultural and societal pressures. humans might struggle to relate to partners whose perspectives are shaped by centuries of experience, while Primals could find it challenging to adapt to the rapid cultural evolution of humans societies. Parenthood brings additional complications, as Primals are left to outlive not only their partners but potentially several generations of their humans family, leading to profound loneliness and guilt. Societal stigma exacerbates the strain, with humans accused of betrayal and Primals criticized for exploiting or dominating their shorter-lived partners. These pressures often isolate both individuals from their respective communities, fostering resentment and alienation.
Ultimately, the inherent disparities in lifespan and maturity create significant psychological, social, and ethical barriers to interspecies relationships. Primals grapple with the burden of their longevity, questioning the morality of forming bonds that will inevitably result in pain and loss, while humans face an identity crisis, fearing they are temporary or replaceable. These challenges highlight the fragility of love across such profound biological divides, often leaving both parties emotionally strained and questioning the feasibility of their connection.

All of this begs a question - why include humans in the setting at all? Unless I'm mistaken we've only seen one or two human characters in some of the old pages and are barely ever mentioned. They do not play a significant or even minor role in the plot.
What's wrong with just having the setting be an alternate Earth populated by the Primals? The first bit about Primals living long and maturing fast eases the Time Skip but incorporating humans just adds an unnecessary complication and/or unresolved dangling plot thread. At its core, this webcomic comes across as a story about the characters and interpersonal relationships, not bigger picture stuff.
But there's another, more important question you should be asking.
If the Primals originated from another galaxy, why is setting's technology only on par with 21st century Earth's (a few anachronisms like Eliza's power suit notwithstanding)? Intergalactic travel would demand a God-tier level of technology. And nothing about the setting suggests they deliberately eschew/hide advanced technology.

Another possibility I thought about is the idea of the Primals seeding planets with humans and later integrating into or taking over their societies without conflict is a compelling idea. Their reliance on human-built infrastructure and technology, coupled with their apparent technological stagnation outside of select elite advancements, suggests several intriguing possibilities about their motives and long-term strategy:
By allowing the humans to develop independently, the Primals avoid the costly and resource-intensive process of building and maintaining planetary infrastructure. Once the seeded society reaches a suitable level of technological and societal maturity, the Primals could integrate themselves, effectively inheriting a fully-developed world without expending their own resources. Their long lifespans allow them to be patient, waiting centuries or millennia for societies to evolve.
Rather than waging war or imposing colonial-style governance, which could provoke resistance, the Primals’ strategy might focus on peaceful coexistence, making their presence seem mutually beneficial. By living among the humans and adopting their technology, the Primals avoid the appearance of domination, fostering goodwill while positioning themselves in advantageous roles. Over time, their advanced knowledge, experience, and subtle political maneuvering could allow them to assume leadership or control with little overt resistance.
The Primals’ behavior suggests they might prioritize efficiency over innovation. If they already possess advanced technology at the upper echelons of their society, they might view it as unnecessary to introduce it broadly, especially if human innovations suffice for everyday needs. This selective application of advanced technology could also be a way of maintaining control, ensuring that only their elite retain access to tools that could shift the balance of power.
Seeding planets with species like humans might serve as a form of existential insurance for the Primals. By encouraging the development of technologically capable societies, they ensure that resources, technology, and infrastructure will always be available should their population need to expand, relocate, or recover from catastrophe. The humans' rapid generational cycles and cultural evolution could provide the innovation and adaptability that the Primals, with their long lives and slower societal changes, might lack.
If this theory holds, the Primals' behavior aligns with a strategy of "indirect colonization". Their long-term plan could involve cultivating civilizations across multiple worlds, allowing native species to bear the burden of development while ensuring that the Primals themselves benefit from the fruits of that labor. This strategy would enable them to expand their presence across the galaxy efficiently and with minimal risk of conflict, relying on their long lives and calculated patience to eventually position themselves as dominant players in any society they inhabit. Whether this is a conscious plan or a pattern of survival born from necessity remains an open question, but it paints the Primals as a species adept at leveraging time and circumstance to their advantage.
The possible dark side of this scenario is for the humans to unwittingly function as a *de facto* slave species for the Primals, though not in the overt or violent sense typically associated with slavery. If the Primals are indeed seeding planets and relying on native species like the humans to develop infrastructure, technology, and societies, the relationship becomes one of gradual subjugation and replacement rather than overt conquest.
The humans would effectively serve as laborers, innovators, and builders for the Primals, shouldering the burden of creating functional civilizations. The Primals, with their immense lifespans and patience, would then step in to reap the benefits of these developments, positioning themselves as overseers or silent inheritors. humans may not recognize this dynamic as exploitation because the Primals might not overtly oppress them; instead, they would integrate peacefully and gradually dominate through superior longevity, experience, and subtle influence.
Over generations, the Primals' long lives and calculated decisions would allow them to outcompete humans in key societal roles. In politics, economics, and cultural leadership, the Primals’ wisdom and longevity could make them natural successors. As humans die off and new generations struggle to keep pace with the enduring Primals, they might find themselves progressively sidelined, with fewer opportunities to shape their own society.
The Primals wouldn’t need to resort to violence to push humans toward extinction. The process could happen indirectly through:
1. Economic Marginalization: Primals could dominate wealth and resources over time, leaving humans in less advantageous positions.
2. Reduced Reproductive Incentive: As Primals assume more prominent roles, humans might feel a loss of purpose or identity, leading to declining birth rates.
3. Cultural Assimilation: Human culture might erode as Primals subtly impose their values or preferences, leading to the gradual loss of a distinct human identity.
As this happens, humans might become increasingly irrelevant within their own societies, dwindling until they are a minority or disappear entirely.
This very dark theory would mean the humans are a slave species without chains. The humans’ role in this system could resemble that of a slave species, but one bound by circumstances rather than force. They would labor to build a world that ultimately benefits the Primals more than themselves, unaware of their species' long-term trajectory. The Primals’ approach might even appear benevolent on the surface—peaceful coexistence, cultural exchange, and technological collaboration—making it difficult for humans to recognize the exploitation until it’s too late.
In essence, the Primals' strategy would enable them to displace the humans quietly, using time and subtlety rather than direct conflict, achieving domination through patience and systemic advantage rather than conquest.

Like me she went a route nobody expects also there was a page showing what the guys and girls were stufying I think Raven appeared
https://rascals.kemono.cafe/comic/rascals-pg-122/
Yup right here, her subjects spund like she was going more for computer engineering or something related to it.

Impossible because there’s a chapter which has r63 las lindas cast.
At most it’s similar like unn… maybe DC and Marvel rules of physics and science only other example I can give is the White Wolf titles but 5e pretty much made them the same universe with the different terms being their own lingo for their enemies. I.e lupine for garou, leeches for vampire who call themselves as either cainites or kindred.

World-building is fun because of those sorts of questions. And accidental implications about the bit of lore Godai just dropped are the best at getting the brain running with fun theories.
It's fun to enjoy the comic, but it is also fun to overthink it when the opportunities arise.
The humans may unknowingly serve as a de facto slave species for the Primals, exploited not through force but by subtle and systemic means. If the Primals intentionally seed planets with species like the humans, they allow these natives to develop infrastructure, technology, and industries over generations, avoiding the burden of building civilizations themselves. Once societies reach a mature stage, the Primals integrate seamlessly, adopting human technology and taking influential positions, all while maintaining the appearance of peaceful coexistence. Over time, their immense lifespans and experience give them natural advantages in politics, economics, and cultural leadership, gradually sidelining humans without overt conflict.
This quiet displacement could lead to the eventual extinction of the humans. As Primals dominate resources and opportunities, humans might face economic marginalization, cultural assimilation, and declining reproductive rates, leading to their gradual decline. While the Primals appear collaborative, their strategy ensures that humans become obsolete, replaced by a civilization run entirely by the long-lived Primals. Through patience and subtlety, the Primals achieve domination without war, making humans unwitting architects of their own subjugation and eventual extermination.
