    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"

    >shows up >destroys your civilisation >turns your species into genetic abominations >leaves
  • @tiky9833
    imagine being so mad at your opps you turn them into unimaginable pyramids of conscious human flesh
  • @Jonaegh
    Humans: "Eat shit and die!" The Qu about to make the Colonials: "Eat shit and live."
  • @DeezNuts-bg2qp
    "The Gravitals didnt hate other species; they just didn't see them as people" Aw shit, here we go again.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • @Methus3lah
    This is some “I have no mouth and I must scream” sort of shit
  • @gbeach85
    I use to fear death. Now I fear being made into a sentient flesh quilt.
  • @NotSoGenesiz
    it’s oddly beautiful how, even with all of the scarring contortions left upon humans, they still remained… human. their drive, ambition, hatred, love, and creativity still persisted for millions, maybe even billions of years until their extinction. that’s so indescribably amazing
  • @tintedplot96
    Ironic how despite the horrific artwork and presentation, there is a beautiful and motivation message behind it
  • My ass would've stayed in the primordial soup if I knew there was gonna be days like this
  • @uBreeze
    Imagine just vibing and then obscenely technologically advanced god-like creatures turned you into a fuckin’ wall.
  • @Miguel_Perales.
    This makes even the concept of human extinction look like a more favorable option
  • @dantevitale5714
    Imagine being a subject and you've been modified and remodeled and recoded so many times an you're in so much pain and all you can do is scream but all that comes out of your shattered, mangled throat is Lou Bega's "Mambo Number 5"
  • "hey Qu can we exist as flesh squares with sentience?" "to suffer for eternity and wish for death?" "yes" >actually becomes the modular people
  • @jaygonzales6069
    “They ruled over the human worlds for 40 million years, then fucked off”. Best thing I’ve heard all day
  • @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.
