A bit of harmony, a lot of mania, on a foundation of existential thought, sprinkled with logic and innuendo... Damn it, now I'm thirsty.
Mostly talking literature here, there's a lot of tropes for them, and I do mean a lot, but there's one concept I do really, really love, but never really see. The idea that there's totally intelligent life out there, it's just that, the universe in and of itself, is so unfit for biological life that, regardless of intelligence, they all go extinct for one reason or another.
I made a blog about this subject awhile ago, but I feel like I overcomplicated it, and didn't get my point across as well as I intended. This blog isn't really for anything at the moment, effectively just for reference in the occasion I need to explain it but am too stressed to do so.

(RM) Ineffable Cupidity: What? They're really good at it, definitely whinnying at their goals.
