Yes, they speak English. They speak every Earth language and more.

Wow, big shelf though!
actually I don't care. I don't have to be the star of the show, I just want to be happy and I'm hot enough to be my own star (or sun to be specific).
Fuck you
Ack ack ======🔫
ACK ACK ACK!
That's fair.
And everyone wants to kill each other over a few grains of that dirtball
Yeah but I get to be pretty and kiss girls how much more significant could life be
And yet we are the only conscious beings on any of these heavenly bodies that are aware enough to give their existence any meaning at all.
The sun is actually pretty small. Do a comparison between the sun and some of the bigger stars, then we'll see just how insignificant we really are.
why does the existence of larger things have any bearing on our significance?
Years ago I was on 2C-B and lounging about in my brother's room, staring at a big glowing plastic moon I had bought for him as a joke, when somehow the word and concept of it sent me spiraling down a rabbit hole of cosmic realization. At first the moon (or perhaps my thoughts surrounding the moon) began to rotate like a planetary body, becoming a parent star in a galactic arm, and eventually the central mass of a galaxy itself, ever turning with long tendril arms orbiting around its perimeter.
As the question of it grew, it became the universe itself, on a profoundly metaphysical level, and I came to the realization that every single living organism, both here and elsewhere in the cosmos, are not so much a part or some greater plan or design, but are instead just individual cells and appendages of recently awakened universe. One that has blinked its eyes from a deep sleep and has slowly become self-aware. And just as a child born blind will at some point use their hands and discover they have a body for the first time, we are tiny (but not insignificant) appendages of that universe discovering and exploring itself, trying to make sense or what it even is.
I found immense comfort in the idea that there is no greater meaning to everything than that. We're just a part of something bigger that is at this very moment trying to make sense of itself, and I don't need more than that.
The 2C family is quite something. I love this thought though, I mean why the hell not
No reason to be so mean to J'onn J'onzz you bully.
Some little pebble thought too much of itself.
No, I am THE ENERGY I am everywhere but nowhere
bigger than I thought, tbh.
