"It was easy to see that, in a few hundred thousand years, humanity could start again with these titanic primatives. Sadly, as a catastrophic ice age took over the Titans' home world, the gentle giants disappeared, never to return."

No one:

Some guy: *Makes a video ranking All Tomorrows post humans by how sexy they are*

The author of the damn book himself in the comments:

We write many stories about humans dying out in a nuclear war and afterward the world is populated by disgusting things like cockroach people, or rat people, but the crazy thing is that it actually happened

For dinosaurs the apocalypse happened and we are the rat people, quite literally. The only mammals at the time of the dinosaurs were like tiny rats. If they saw us, and elephants, and giraffes, and whales, they would just see rats twisted in horrifying ways to fit the roles of dinosaurs

Once I thought about that, I never saw the world in the same way, man. It's like everything around me is taken from a page of the book "All tomorrwos"

But then again, we rat people think we and all the other deformed rats are beautiful. Come to think of it, dinosaurs would be horrified in similar ways by looking at birds, but birds are beautiful too

The world recovered from the apocalypse, and it became beautiful again, even if it's really weird, and I guess that was the point of the book "All tomorrows"?

Maybe life always finds a way to be beautiful. Maybe the cockroach people will be really beautiful once we get to know them

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk

i lowkey hate when ppl take all tomorrows as just body horror life is cruel shit. my brother in christ the some of the main points are that humanity is everlasting and theres more inherent value in the mundane and shot life of a person than in all the acts of cruelty commited across the eons. and also body horror

Taking a small break from texture making so I can figure out the anatomy for these gotdam space catboys I always struggle with the proportions and give them either too human of a face or too much of a snout
