    Thank you so much for giving my work the best YT treatment possible! This is a much better narrative artefact than my original pdf e-book... I'm so happy! :)

    Qu 1: "yo watch this"
    turns a human to a creature made to suffer
    Qu 1: "lmao"
    Qu 2: "lmao"

    I just love it when the Qu said "I'll steal All of your Tomorrows" then completely tomorrow'd all of the humanity.
  • @ktvia
    pterosapians are kind of beautiful yet tragic to me. to be so smart, so free from oppressive social classes and yet trapped by your own body to only live for 23 or so years is tragic but insanely interesting

  • @asriusdoesart
    Evolutionary Horror will always be a genre that chills me to my core
  • To me this work is a celebration of humanity's capacity to survive. I find it inspirational in a sea of a lot of anti-human fiction we see today.
  • @jaygonzales6069
    “They ruled over the human worlds for 40 million years, then fucked off”. Best thing I’ve heard all day
  • @Methus3lah
    This is some “I have no mouth and I must scream” sort of shit
  • @i.7525
    The Colonials and then the Modular People really struck a chord with me when i read All Tomorrows. Even though they didn't survive in the end, there's something really beautiful about the way they managed to create a utopian society from their horrible starting point.
  • The Colonials/Modular People story is especially heartwarming. They went from utter nothing into a thriving civilization. It must've been so easy and so simple to just give up and let go, but they didn't.
  • the term "what the actual fuck" was invented to describe this piece of fiction

    Doofenshmirtz: “If I had a nickel for every time the descendants of mankind were used for genetic experimentation and as bioengineered slaves by a powerful, speciest race, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?”
  • @tintedplot96
    Ironic how despite the horrific artwork and presentation, there is a beautiful and motivation message behind it
  • @doctorgibberish
    Oh my god. I legitimately forgot I’m listening to alt shift x video half way through and started wondering what kind of audiobook is this. You’re the best.
  • @uBreeze
    Imagine just vibing and then obscenely technologically advanced god-like creatures turned you into a fuckin’ wall.
  • My ass would've stayed in the primordial soup if I knew there was gonna be days like this
  • @bulletmuncher64
    This is deeply terrifying, yet so interesting to me. I feel like there's an alternate world where this has actually happened somehow.
