Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point

- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.

Ripley has a daughter though.
You know the right-wingers don’t count adopted kids!
Edit: TIL she has a daughter
Not newt, she has an actual daughter. Amanda. Ripley spends so much time lost and in cryo sleep that her daughter lives an entire life and dies two years before Ripley gets back. In Aliens Newt serves as a surrogate for Ripley's daughter and the manifestation of her guilt for missing her entire life.
