HFY - Humanity Fuck Yeah! is a community for writers and artists to showcase their talent in the HFY genre and for people who enjoy them.

While traditional science fiction often presents humans as vulnerable masses seeking refuge from menacing aliens or as feeble beings overshadowed by aliens with superior logic, strength or empathy. HFY disrupts these archetypes by challenging the norm.

In the world of HFY, humanity is bestowed with exceptional qualities, giving rise to a sense of optimism and empowerment within the reader. It seeks to uplift and inspire, demonstrating the potential of human greatness and the capacity for overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.

You just taught me a new word! Puissant!

The word was so fun I decided to make a new community where people can share fun words they just learned. Thank you!

So what's the community? Don't leave us hanging...

Haha, sorry! I didn't share because as of now there is only the one post (about this word). Plus, I'm honestly unsure the best way to link a community so people can easily access it.

That said, it is ILearnedAWord

https://ttrpg.network/c/ilearnedaword

for people who just learned a neat word and might want to share it. Truthfully, I don't super expect it to grow to be more than just me posting in there, but I think it would be a fun way to keep track of fun words I learn and a better way to learn words than a word of the day calendar. The lack of seeing words in use on those drives me nuts, cause the sample sentences are usually boring af.

It should be a community devoted to high-brow Yo Mama jokes, e.g., "Yo mama has puissant sweat glands!"
