If reptilian aliens are real . . .

I clicked for a random /x/ thread and got this one, from June 30, 2021. The original post just says "What would you do if they're real?" with this image:

I immediately clicked for another random /x/ thread and got this one, from August 12, 2020. Despite having been posted nearly a year before the first random thread I got, the original post seems to be answering its question. It reads:

if reptilians are real, I wanna meet one honestly. Fuck it, have them stop shape-shifting and just show that natural body.

In the pic that reptilian seems to be just vibing

Here's the image accompanying the second post:

This is almost identical to the reptilian alien in the other thread. Here they are side by side:

They're not the same image, but the correspondence is so exact that one must be a copied from the other, or else both must have been copied from the same original.

Is this just a very common way of portraying reptilian aliens, then? No, not really. I ran a search for reptilian alien on Google Images and found nothing like the above until the 90th result (below left). I didn't find a second such image until the 185th result (below right).

Getting those two /x/ threads one right after the other just seems astronomically improbable. It's not just that they use essentially the same reptilian image. The first asks, "What would you do if they're real?" -- meaning aliens, including a reptilian -- and the second begins, "if reptilians are real, I . . . ."

I calculated the number of days between the two posts, assuming it would turn out to be a significant number. It's 322, which I guess qualifies.

I searched for 322 aliens just to see what would come up. The first image result was this:

The reason I got that result seems to be that image's original filename is "22322.jpg" -- obviously just a meaningless serial number. The fact that it features a human skull, when I had just associated the number 322 with the Skull and Bones logo, is a coincidence.

The "What would you do if they're real?" post was published on June 30, 2021. On that same date, I posted "Orkish synchronicity," linking to an article called "When Orcs Were Real." Orcs aren't reptilians, but the idea of monstrous humanoids being "real" is still a sync. The linked article also includes "skull and bones" imagery:

This "orcs were real" theme reminded me that the first thing I ever read by Bill Wright, three months before I became aware of his blog and our syncs got entangled, was his 2023 guest post on Bruce's blog, "Could Tolkien’s orcs be incarnated demonic spirits?", so I revisited that. The first comment on that post, by Inklings scholar David Llewellyn Dodds, begins thus:

Thanks for this! What a lot of fruit-of-thought that is food for further thought!

Immediately before clicking for the random /x/ threads that occasioned the present post, I checked the comments on this blog. The most recent was from Debbie, on "Cucurbits and pomegranates." Debbie usually leaves very long comments, but this one was short. It reads, in its entirety:

I forgot to add.

Yet again another 'food (fruit) for thought sync, no?

Note added: I decided to look up that Alien Invasion book I found while searching for reptilian-in-a-red-hood images. Here's the back cover:

The summary begins thus:

In the distant past, Reptilian star-travelers conquered humanity. These demon-possessed body-forms cruelly exploited the subjugated humans.

That's a pretty direct link to Bill's post proposing that orcs are "incarnated demon spirits."

Second note added: That Alien Invasion book also features "Cetacean" aliens. Just yesterday I was in an electronics store, and all the televisions were playing the trailer for the latest Avatar movie, which is called Avatar: Fire and Ash (cf. Alien: Fire and Stone above). The trailer has a few shots of whale-like alien creatures.

The word avatar refers to a physical manifestation of a spiritual being, so that syncs with the "demon-possessed body forms" and "incarnated demon spirits."

Something familiar about this facial expression:

Third note added (December 9): Here is the alternate cover for Alien Invasion, mentioned in the comments by Bill, side by side with what is apparently the "earth glyph" from the movie Stargate (1994):

That's not just a general thematic similarity; it's an exact match, right down to the relative thickness of the lines.
