Hats down you have a very big imagination to make such work
Can anybody recommend good yt videos about Snaiad?
Your art is an inspiration.
It's so crazy to see you in the comment section, your work has been very inspiration to me and inspired me to go after an art degree.
“They ruled over the human worlds for 40 million years, then fucked off”. Best thing I’ve heard all day
haha! Totally!
This entire video is writen so well, so much one liners and insights
Me like hmm oh yeah I remember something like that in humanities stupid past
Also, Qu be Amon clones.
So million years of evolution before and after the qu no one had a TV except the tool breeders

I just love it when the Qu said "I'll steal All of your Tomorrows" then completely tomorrow'd all of the humanity.
My favourite part was when the Qu proclaimed ''it's All Tomorrow time'' then went along and All Tomorrow'd humanity. Truly one of the moments of all time
Yeah you gotta love it when the Star people go "I sure hope we don't get twisted into beastly abominations by eldritch gods" and then the tomorrowers are right behind him.
the Qu tommorrowd all over the colonials, it was horrible.

Un ironically my greatest fear is that life extending tech will get so advanced in my lifetime that I will live forever. Thank god the rich are going to hoard all that tech for themselves and that I'm going to die of a heart attack at 50.
@@calebnorris6960 The idea that rich people would have an incentive to make themselves and ONLY themselves immortal is asinine.
@@gramioerie_xi133 What ? Peasants in America barely get medical care. The world is overpopulated and tards only continue to reproduce to create more wage slaves. Of course they would try and hoard it to themselves. At least at first.
@@calebnorris6960 I feel the same way lol - I never feel bad about smoking, and I will never have kids as a result of tech. The stuff we are doing with ai and brain interfaces is so incredibly scary. I dont want to live in a world where someone else or a machine has the keys to my mind.

Evolutionary Horror will always be a genre that chills me to my core
Do you have any other recommendations similar to this?
@@Spaceman972 Snaiads by C.M. Kösemen (the author of All Tomorrows) is definitely worth checking out. The creatures are so weirdly designed and I love its world-building. Kösemen is the current master of evolutionary horror and speculative evolution and it makes me sad people usually only know his All Tomorrows book- which is of course great but his other works deserve attention as well
@@Spaceman972 not exactly horror but speculative fiction, Children of Time series from Adrian Tchaikovsky. Genetically modified Spiders evolve in one of the human colonies and meet future humans. There's also Axiom series from Tim Pratt, A crew of humans, posthumans and octopus like aliens working against an ancient unimaginably advanced civilization.
ok
The Holocaust and the Great Purge belong in this genre as well. The cross-over between reality and imagination chills almost to death
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
Well, they still live full fulfilling lives. If there were a species that lived to 500 years old, they would probably look at us and think, “wow, it must be so sad to only live to a hundred or so.”
the pterosapians girl in the picture gave me mixed feeling. Her life was short and that would be her last time visting such place but she seem happy and living in the moment. Girlie deserved a happy life
@@invit6441I loved seeing that picture, it made them seem very human and it made me love their species even more
It's the same for us. There's so much greatness in the world but we only have 80 years to experience it.
Yea their story alone should have been the end goal for the galaxy in my own opinion. Tru freedom and appreciation of life

What about the Anunnaki legends. They weren't humans, but humanlike, I think it counts.
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.
I think we as humans just focus on negatives a lot. We see war and crime and insane injustices and think that’s all humans are. We forget that humans also have an infinite capacity for compassion, love, creation, and unity. Stories like these are important to remind us that we aren’t one sided creatures.
I think this is extremely disrespectful to humanity and it just makes me hate possible alien life even more. The stars are our birthright. Humans on top

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.
They may look far from us, but the human spirit persevered
Seriously the goats, they fucked up the Qu twice, and still prevailed

i love how the narrator is usually serious and monotone when talking, but at some points they're just like "then the Qu fucked off to look for their next victims", and it hits you so hard.

Ironic how despite the horrific artwork and presentation, there is a beautiful and motivation message behind it
i love it how it makes you uncomfortable but the overall message is inspiring
What's the message
it’s oddly beautiful how, even with all of the scaring 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
This is some “I have no mouth and I must scream” sort of shit

This makes even the concept of human extinction look like a more favorable option

This is deeply terrifying, yet so interesting to me. I feel like there's an alternate world where this has actually happened somehow.
I see, we have to re-look our understanding when it comes to folklore and true history, i so happened to be Christian growing up but then learned it’s lies and it’s truths, we must know what the truth is to God, why then Noah was perfect in his GENEarations? Noah walked with God, could this be WHY the flood happened? Gene tinkering….? And so I’m not really exited that people are curious about something that will bring man to another extinction.. so called gods that give us knowledge and understanding, but never lead to peace or true life.
If the universe is infinite, then it definitely happened
if you feel like it is the truth, it probably is.
Alternate world? It just simply hasn't happened yet. We haven't even finished page 1 of the story by colonizing Mars

@@danidevito2397 stop trolling
My favourite part is how the Qu engineered these posthuman monstrosities to be either nonsapient, or sapient and suffering eternally, and in a few million years so many of them were like "WELL GUESS WHO'S BACK MOTHERFUCKERS".
yeah thats the problem the Qu never expected they never though another species COULD be as great as them and master intergalactic travel but when some did what do you know all the neighbouring galaxies had a common enemy they all hated more then any other what better way to create a galactic federation
"Forcefully evolve me ONCE, shame on you. Force evolve me TWICE?? Shame on me. FORCE EVOLVE ME TWENTY TIMES, NOW I'M MAD
At the weekly "Fuck the Qu" meetings, every race races their hands in the unaminious motto of "Fuck the Qu"
Fuck the Qu. All my homies love The Reapers.
@@ThatCreeNative1 The Reapers are actually pretty fair. Let life take its course, reset it, and watch it go again anew. Because eventually, one single species would come out on top and enslave/destroy the rest of the known universe. The Reapers are benign gods in the grand scheme of things; something none of the ME species could understand (obviously, no one would just sit and let aliens exterminate them). At least the Reapers never had any hatred or need to be superior; they WERE superior and never wanted anything during the quiet eons, dudes just hibernated until it was time.
I don't think I've ever heard a more terrifying body horror story. This is fantastic.
But it is also an inspiring tale of humanity rising up against all odds not just horror. And speculative evolution
even though this is terrifying, it's also kinda comforting knowing that it's never truly over. change will always happen
Exactly what I thought. I like this side of speculative evolution. Even though it's full of misery and is surely terrifying, in the end it gives us hope, telling us nothing is over yet and your willpower can overcome what you are struggling against. All Tomorrows and Altered States are my favourite examples of this.
Good to know, out of all of this, the Qu eventually got fucking mirked
The first time I saw the video I thought it was the channel's decision to not describe the battle between the United Galaxies and the Qu, so I went on and read the book to see if there were more details, but the book describes it in the same way. I am still curious about this epic battle.
Fuck the Qu, all my asteromorphs hate the Qu
@@andrestangue8596 my best guess is the qu lost due to shear numbers they had been a stagnant galactic nomad species for billions of years meaning there population was also probablt stagnant so all the galaxies they tormented when given acces to one another with galactic travel would have enough numbers to surrond the qu in every dierection and they could no longer run as there enemies had intergaltic travel just as fast as theres
@@andrestangue8596 all my boos say fuck the old the old gods
it took humanity for 150 million of years
evolve and take revenge on qu
Hi hello, yes. This is fucking terrifying.
Everything looks like it belongs in the underworld so yeah they're completely terrifying.
I can't pinpoint exactly why, but yes this is utterly terrifying. It strikes the same nerve as body horror films like "Tusk" or "the Fly".
Something about losing your humanity first just appearance wise and later losing your identity fully becoming an animal again is so deeply scary and disturbing.
@@MrJonNoob It's the combination of existential, body and cosmic horror that really just sets it to the max. Not to mention a healthy dose of the uncanny valley.
@@MrJonNoob it's called body horror
When one of the first pictures is a dude looking like the Rape Horse from _Berserk_ , you know it's about to be traumatizing lmao
Even when rewatching 40 minutes felt like nothing, not only is the story and artwork stunning but your editing and narration elevate it to the next level
This has raddled me like nothing else has. The concept, the existential dread it radiates, the potential thought of being turned into something like that, the thought that this could be where humanity goes. I have so much to say and not a single word to describe it. I feel like this has started a whole new fixation, I’m about to go buy this book and read it, then reread it, and then 20 more times cuz wowie
Really well said
tragic beauty
I feel the same way! It rattled me, even made me feel like saying "those aren't human!". But I got to a point where I realized, that YES, they are. They look different but they all had cultures, life, love, philosophy, etc. So they are, and have the core of what makes humanity, human. I think I really started feeling bittersweet around 22:13 where we learned about the bird-people and their culture (at risk of repeating myself: it was *just* so *Human* ).

translation: Dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter thought to account for approximately 85% of the matter in the universe and about 27% of its total mass-energy density or about 2.241×10−27 kg/m3. Its presence is implied in a variety of astrophysical observations, including gravitational effects that cannot be explained by accepted theories of gravity unless more matter is present than can be seen. For this reason, most experts think that dark matter is abundant in the universe and that it has had a strong influence on its structure and evolution. Dark matter is called dark because it does not appear to interact with the electromagnetic field, which means it does not absorb, reflect or emit electromagnetic radiation, and is therefore difficult to detect.

Did you know?: In a fan made book called All Other Tomorrows, the Blind Folk, the Mantelopes, the Temptors, the Titans, the Striders, and the Bone Crushers never went extinct!
In the main universe the Blind Folk were wiped out by tectonic plates shifting, crushing all of them. But some survived by hiding going into sub caves. They evolved into, The Clickers, over time. Having developed noses but lost the whiskers, also having 3 lobe like ears, starting where their forehead, and cheeks would be. Their echolocation became extremely good causing them to basically see, they escaped to the surface and built tightly knit cities.
So the Mantelopes died out because they had human intelligence. But in this universe some Spacers got curious and decided to explore an ancient Qu solar system. There they found the Mantelopes, bc they were intelligent, the Spacers decided to make an agreement where they’d protect the Mantelopes but in return they’d tell information about the Qu, since they can’t forget anything. With that, the Spacers reverse engineered many extremely good devices. Inviting the Mantelopes into space, ofc they’d be cared for. Over time the Mantelopes ran dry of ideas. So the Spacers offered to turn them into creatures called Processors. Using the same technology they reverse engineered, they evolved them into living archives. They were also capable of storing thousands of TB in one Processor. Eventually they engineered neural links to all other Processors. They were lined up in massive cubes becoming supercomputers even impressing the now Asteromorphs. Oh by the way they were totally chill with it cuz it was still better than being stupid ass antelopes cursed to live in suffering.
The Bone Crushers starved themself to death cuz of lack of putrid meat. It least in this universe. In All Other Tomorrows, they managed to artificially fabricate putrid meat. Thus not going extinct. They became the Rot Eaters. Having the same beaks, human eyes and eyebrows, MASSIVE noses, and elvish ears. Even a hairline but no hair. This species was definitely the most human-like species in this universe.
The Striders were wiped out by monsterous Chickens. But in this universe some Striders mutated and changed their skin colors and evolved controllable wrinkles of their skin to imitate tree bark to be able to blend in with trees to avoid detection. Eventually they evolved leaf-like outgrowths and other changes to their bodies as well as shrunk, turning their bodies lighter and sturdier to jump through trees. Becoming 100% arboreal. They communicated visually from far away with their leaf-like outgrowths, fingertips and deep howls. They expressed emotion by changing their skin colors. They eventually scared away the monstrous Chickens. And after natural predators were chased away, they conquered the planet and became a civilization called The Stickmin. They developed advanced cultures and disliked conflict and bustle becoming philosophical, hedonistic and spiritual. They believed that after they die they’re reincarnated as trees, because of their similar appearances. So chopping down trees became illegal, and their cities were built cleverly weaved around and through the forests on great tree grounds. When the time came to colonize other worlds, they denied. And instead valued their own world thinking ‘why go on other planets if it isn’t your home?’ Because of their natural ancient instincts to hide behind trees and become silent to previously avoid predators, the great philosophers of this world mastered the ability to enter cataplectic states and became completely silent like statues.
Then there were the Temptors. Who went extinct due to comet impacts. But in this universe (god I sound like The Watcher). In this universe, the comet never hit. Instead they managed to evolve from their extremely deficient life cycle into another sentient race, the Puppeteers. The females had full control over the males, basically turning them into mindless slaves. Eventually they replaced them with robots and brutally killed off all the males. They grew other females in pods. The typical town would consist of a single female with the rest being the robots. Without the males it allowed much more produce to spare, they BOOMED in population faster than you can say “Qu 2: Electric Boogaloo”, becoming a spacefaring species like the others, much quicker.
Omg I almost forgot about the Titans! Ok so in the main timeline the Titans died out, due to an ice age. But in this universe some evolved furry coats. After the Ice Age, the sea levels drastically increased, to levels us humans won’t see for at least another 15 years. Sorry I couldn't help myself. Point being they were seperated across the planet becoming many subspecies. Some stuck on an island evolved into the Grazers. All others basically became mindless savages. Because of the Grazers nature even with the limited resources they became much more intelligent than their ancestral cousins. Eventually they sailed to the mainland but their unevolved cousins instantly waged war on them. They had to kill them off, but in doing so, became the dominant civilization of their planet. Sprawling cities.
Eventually when they all started sending signals out into space, well the other 4 because the Puppeteers were doin that way before. Anyways when these 4 started sending signals into space, they not only found each other. But the other 10 that stood the test of time in the original novel. Anyways everything continued like normal from there. 15 civilizations in the alliance, and the whole Gravital thing which wiped out the Grazers, the Rot Eaters, the Stickmin, the Clickers, and even the powerful Puppeteers! Aswell as the other 10 but you knew that already. Well one can assume because the novel kinda ended there. So I’m just assuming this last chapter bc there’s no way the Puppeteers or any of them could beat them. Then the Asteromorphs killed all of them and saved the mutated Bug People, then turned the remaining Gravitals into nice AI called the New AI. Meaning the only species that survived out of the new 6 would be the Processors. I also just realized a super extra depressing fact, because of The Stickmen’s nature, they probably didn’t resist their destruction by the Gravitals because of how much they hated conflict. At least they died doing what they loved… being hedonistic pacifists. ☺️
If you made it this far without skipping, I’d like to ask if this was a good comment?? A very long one but be honest plz. I want to improve my writing. Also I’m not fishing for compliments, that’s why I said to be honest.
You don’t have to read all of this. But it’s worth it.
Cool
Good comment
Love the passion.
A movie about the modular people specifically would be a feast when made by cronenberg. that sounds right up his alley.
"like creatures that existed only to play the tune of one particular pop song"
never gonna-
What a nightmate
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around
and
desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie
And hurt you
Holy Fuck Imagine being an Extremely Intelligent Species of Subhuman quintillions of years in the future and being rickrolled
Imagine being brutally genetically manipulated purely to rickroll people
I read this just as it played
"Qu, what're you doing?"
"Making Mantelopes."
"It's 4 o'clock in the morning, why on *Qu homeworld* are you making Mantelopes?"
"Because I've lost control of my life."
*Qu, when he had the idea of mantelopes one hour earlier fuelled by existencial crisis, sleep deprivation and a burst of inspiration* : Haha mantelopes go brrrrr
@@danielruiz8259 Qu needs some snickers ngl
The next day:
"Dude, look at this, i make this funky looking four legged creature"
"Damn dude, what it can do?"
"They're really good at depresion... oh yeah and they can sing too i guess"
"Here's your Mantelope AnQUlica."
"It's ok uncle QU i'm not interested anymore"
"...."
"Loud QU screech."
Honestly this comment chain is a perfect snap shot of humanity as it is now lol
I just got my housemate hooked on this story with your video, I needed my phone back so he's gonna listen on the tv. Thank you so much for posting this!
Every once in a while I comeback to this, fascinating and even hopeful in a way.
Real asf
"Human minds aren't sacred to evolution". That's beautifully scary.
how the hell did i see this comment exactly when he said it
Evolution or perish, bABY
very
@@nevermind6606 because you did
I read this the second the narrator said this😂
"The male temptors desperately served their queens."
Sounds familiar. I wonder if they've ever been on Twitch before
This is hilarious
Obviously...
Imagine if the qu actually seen the human history and how human males simps and even hurt themselves for the female humans so they did this on purpose as a joke
They breed tho, it’s highly impossible for them to be actual simps
They truly are human
I keep coming back to this ... its like going to your granny for a new story every night .. so you could fall asleep listening to those tales..
So good to be a child in your 50s :0) ..I always thought that time is gone forever. But i think technology is bringing it back.
I can’t lie , this is actually really dope , I’ve been seeing this recommended to me for so long and I finally listened. This man is so talented to come up with this 💓
Modular people be like: “bro pass me an arm.” “Sure bro gimme a minute can’t find my 6th eye.”
lmao
Talk about lending a hand
@@yharondg7513 my god, you genius.
@@anotherone6713 Didn't see that coming, didn't ya?
@@PriaGuy of course not, he's still looking for the eye
"What did the non-modified humans do after that?"
"Eh, they just kinda... farted around the galaxy, mostly."
Bro show some respect ....they are the *Fart God*
Yea, who wouldve known, all you had to do to become the ultimate supreme creature is to just fart around for some certain period of time
shittin' and fartin'
shittin' and fartin'
They are the posthuman descendants of the great Kracc Bacc, who fully committed to the way of the fard (as all should).
so, instead of creating a jetpack or somethin, they decided just to fart
Dude , this is perfection , if only all books got videos like this , perfect summary
I love that the Asymmetric people have nail care. She is rocking those black almonds
The Qu after they see tetris:
"Ayo what if.. listen up. You give the cubes some Eyes and Minds so they like suffer or something idk"
Qu be like: "mfkers resist, mfkers become Tetris"
There’s actually a Tetris game like that on PS2 called Tetris Worlds
Dude I see u under so many videos lol
@@ACMGSD242 lol ye i comment a lot lol
@Pringle Tetris Worlds
This is more of a horror story than anything. The fact that god-like aliens can completely change the course of humanity, and turn us into these twisted mindless creatures, is horrifying to me.
you gotta be in it to win it
We humans used to take practices in making others horrific, many still do but secretly.
now my mind has something to think about all night
I mean, the feasibility of something like that is very low. Kursgesagt has great vids on the emptyness of space, but the chances are never zero, I suppose. But its definitely fantastical dystopian horror sci-fi futurism shit. Really cool video
Who needs aliens when humans do exactly this to animals on earth, we probably seem godlike to them, they have absolutely no chance of fighting back as we twist them into livestock and animals that please us.
This has me captivated! What a wonderful treat to stumble upon
Thank you for this beautiful different creative thoughts
Can't imagine becoming minecraft bricks just because some aliens named after a single letter wanted us to be less smart
and instead now becoming living walking colonies
it sucks, but whatcha gonna do?
@@Nobddy If you dont have genes, you can't get memed
I don’t believe this will happen to us. My usual temperament of the future is of humanity being a grand contender of the stars, fuelling envy from other alien life, and watching this kind of stuff always humbles me to realise that we could very very easily be reduced to ash by entities infinitely better than us. But I still refuse to believe it, my hopes for humanity are naively high, I will die countless years before we could rule the galaxy (if it is to occur) so I feel better living my years dreaming of our far descendants as gods rather than slaves 😛
@@DonRoyalX maybe god isnt protecting people in their day to day, but it is protecting us from these things... so long as we stay in the garden :P
Fun fact: "Qu" is pronounced just like "cu", which, in Portuguese, means "asshole".
"Cu" also means penis in vietnamese
Cul is ass in french language
Então mano, to la mo focado na história ai do nada bate a 5° série e começo a rir
@@banh8488
Another word for ‘penis’ being ‘dick’. They knew what they were doing.

I keep coming back to this video. The end message is so beautiful, it makes me tear up every time I listen to it. Love today, and seize all tomorrows…
Thank you for blessing me with this. This was the most amazing trup for my brain to imagine. I love thw idea of life but to an uncomfortable degree to where I love the flaws and the vulnerability of life and so I love the way this dude wrote it. So vulnerable and weak and easily manipulated and changed beyond recognition. Such a grotesque beauty that isnt easily captured correctly. This is just wonderful.
Me and the guys going off to become Mantelopes.
Me as a colonist: “👁”
So messed up to leave intelligence on some creatures that have no chance, I'm going to be having nightmares tonight
@@samhuggons2879 They clearly had both opposable thumbs and the brains to used them, so they Qu gave them enough of a chance.
And even if somehow they couldn't use tools, give a sampient the body mass of a grazer and there's pretty much nothing a horde of them wont be able to trample beneath their hands
@@marceloantunes998 did you watch the video and just missed how insanely powerful the QU were?
If i tied you and made you walk in all fours with your buddies in constant anguish you think opposable thumbs would win?
@Miles look at this waste of pixels lol
i love how through each cycle of being changed into unrecognizable, incomprehensible aliens, we still retain the exact same brand of stupidity.
It's punishment for being subjects of eve and Adam. In reality the qu are the marleyans
Hell yeah 😎
😮Wow great analysis. This gives me a question… so what’s the stories of the other ones that were SO stupid that they didn’t live long enough to be recorded. 🤔🫢
Well put professor!🤣
I couldn't help but smile when I heard that the Snake People had made civilisation again, that they enjoyed books. Nor when I heard that the Asymmetric People had ended up killing off the Lopsiders to their misapplied surprise. Even when I saw the Killer Folk wearing a hat, all I thought was how unbelievably human it was. The ritualistic orgies and festivals of the Satyriacs and their hardwired endless jubilation. The Gravitals that had made a New Humanity for the What-Was-Once-Bug People. The Astreomorphs eventually giving citizenship to the New Machines, and the sentimentality that the New Astreomorphic Empire held towards Earth, are all so blisteringly, beautifully human. The lack of forethought, that buzz of instinct, the desire for every day to be filled with enjoyment, the simple pleasures of wearing hats, the love that crosses infinite space in infinite semantic planes and ends up binding so many together. Everything is so terrifying, but so unbelievably human. And when the Unified Empires rose up to defeat the Qu, I think that was a message that everything there can and will persist. Even into a higher plane of reality which I have elected to believe happened.
"The swimmers/tool-breeders domesticated and modified other sea creatures, and built entire cities powered by organic life"
So... the Qu
exactly the video I was looking for today. thank u
Moral of the story: Even if you are changed by big galactic asshats, you can still bounce back better then ever(besides the lizard herders)
Of you can dwell on it, let it fester and dwell and eventually decsend to silence like the Mantelopes
@@gooeygo2515 I feel the Mantelopes actually have a kind of heartwarming ending, they chose happiness, even if it meant to give up their sentience and lose their humanity, they may ended up being dumb as rocks, yet they lived in bliss
@@maitequilla But they didn't choose it. Evolution just said "you guys aren't using your brains for shit except being edgy nihlists I'll just get rid of that for you"
@@bevvvy1374 Nature be like
It wasn't just the lizard herders that died off. So many other races were said to have died off even prior to gravitals, and many others just evolved into regular herders, like the mantelopes
So, humanity literaly farted their way to kill Gods
that's one way of saying that.
Well, humanity evolved huge fucking galaxy brains that were so advanced they could create weapons to fight against the Qu and win against them. I feel like some people missed the part about them having huge evolved brains.
Sounds like us
@@travelsizedarchie so basically... We became megamind on crack coccaine and turned up to 11?

Thanks for this, what a ride
