"Why did you vote for Xenaer-Batzaie? His saucer is fueled by crushed orphan puppies!"
"Listen, that may be the case, but at least violent crime has gone down by a hundred percent."
"Because he vaporises anyone who acts out line."
"Either way, I can go to the corner store in the middle of the night without worrying about getting mugged."
"The corner stone was blown up by his death squad!"
"Wow. First of all, it's inaccurate to call them that. Only two thirds of their interventions end up with deaths. Second, Jim's store was a front for a xenophobe group."
"I don't believe you."
"You saw the alien picture they stuck to the dartboard."
"That's not what I mean and you know it."
"Hey, I can understand accepting something different can be difficult, but you have to learn to take the good with the bad. Besides, Xenaer-Batzaie's term will end next September."
"I... I suppose you're right."
"And after that, it's only four more years!"
"Oh, go to hell."

I rather like the photo, but I don't have any experience with photography, so I don't know how difficult it is to get that shot and have the conditions just right for it. As to the meaning of the title and what the alien has to do with it, it's going over my head. With the title, I guess he's going to conquer the city? If I recognized which city it was, I might realize some political statement, though this might be referring to it more generally, not just for this specific city.
“Spacecraft I41 welcomed by new alien underlings.”
This looks like a stock cityscape shot, Google says it’s Singapore. The alien doodle is detailed enough to fit the photo, at least at first glance. I’ve ranked this as lower-mid tier; thanks for creating it, Artist!

Spaayse!
We got a lovely skyline, we got a goofy green alien cameo, we got creative mumbo-jumbo, let’s toss these into a blender and see what we get!
....
Sadly, no fics came out of this, but not for lack of potential, artist. However, I’m here to comment about the quality of art stuff, so we’ll ignore the lack of fics.
The background is a gorgeous picture. I don’t know whether or not you took it. For now, I’ll give you the benefit of a doubt and say: “That’s a damn good picture!” (If you didn’t take the picture, you still have a good eye for photography).
Now we have the UFO above the skyline, which kind of clashes with the aesthetic of the background. Not entirely sure where this UFO is meant to be relative to the buildings. It might have helped to make a blurry reflection in the water, or else given the UFO some degree of ambient occlusion so that it looked further away in the background/atmosphere.
Ultimately, I think this was a good idea to bring to the prompt, but could have used some more polish to get by on its own artistic merit. Either more cartoony or more realistic, whichever you prefer. Best of luck!
