Welp since this blew up so huge so quickly I'm gonna do a shameless™️ real quick and promote my Instagram instagram.com/ophiuchus_illustration/?hl=en (@Ophiuchus_Illustration). I post most of my work there and if you want to check out the non-animated illustrations for some of the big moments in this video like the satyriac-killer folk first contact or the post human party then you can see all that there. I'll be posting my favorite moments from it there over the next few days, and also you can check out some of my other art as well! Hope you'll give it a look!
I love the personality you put into the characters, especially the ones that don’t get a lot of attention usually, like the sail people and tool breeders.
@@RocRolDis I’m so glad you think so, I really tried to give them each enough screentime to show their unique personalities enough that ppl would wanna see them all interact in a sitcom or something lmao😂
@@LoudPlateAndy All it takes is a floating door to be merciful to the subjects which will start the “flesh has rights” revolution (Then the space-doods come in and right the wrongs)
This hits real hard. Imagine trying to find out if we're the only ones in this universe, only to be responded to by not just intelligent life but your long lost relatives. They might've strayed far from what they once were, but they're still family.
@@sioneofiu8821 a personal theory of mine, the great filter is actually time. We know just how big the fabric of space gets, what we forget is that time is just as big if not bigger. It took us barely 100 years to go from vacuum tubes adding single digits to external world brains that go well beyond cognition. Maybe there is in fact intelligent life out there, we just missed it by a few million years.
@@OphiuchusAnimation The lyrics "Build from the bottom of the pit, right to the top" while showing the primitive, unintelligent worms evolving into the chill snake people also work amazingly together.
I always think it’s funny the way Reptilians are included, because it’s like they’re larping as humans and everyone thinks it’s such a novelty that they’re just on board with it. Honorary humans.
Nah. They were technically raised by post humans and took on the mantle that those post humans lost the ability to gain. There are many families composed of members who aren't related by blood.
The way I see it? All that means is that what we call humanity isn't something inherent to something as banal and simplistic as species or genetics, but that it is instead a way of looking at the world.
@@LexYeen Exactly this. In a universe where the human species has been shattered utterly and reformed a thousand different ways, "human", like the beings that once bore the name, evolved to become something greater and more intangible. The moment the Saurosapients choose to take up the mantle of their Star People predecessors and look skyward, they became every bit as "human" as the other posthumans they were reaching out to.
I think it's a message about how legacy has nothing to do with the romantic ideal of 'true' humanity, the myth that the gravitals killed over. The saurosapiens are like an adopted lineage, no less human because ultimately 'human' is arbitrary. Life is what matters, not your genetic makeup.
@@LexYeen spiritualy Yes, but If you talk about a space-venturing materialistic society, genetics AND compromise is all that builds alliances in the stars, the reptilians were included not cuz of genetics but cuz of related history since they lived with the herders for most of their existence inheriting some human behaviors the herders still had left of their past humanity, they also Got infulenced by the history If the planet they lived in, since humans used to Live there, many ruins were left, even BEFORE they met the other post humans except the herders, they KNEW about the QU and What they did to humans (specified especially in the book) they grew up with a culture similiar to humans and the other post-humans and a big historical influence on humankind, it was only logical to let them in the alliance as a compromise despite not being post humans due to their historical footprint on humanity
The book: HORROR, INTENSE BODY HORROR, HUMANITY’S DEMISE, EXISTENTIAL CRISIS LOVECRAFTIAN STYLE- The fandom: “D’aww look at these little folks getting a long and being pals!”
'There's others who survived the Qu, others who struggled and survived the horrors they inflicted on us. We can be together again.' That was the kneejerk reaction. Not conflict, not misplaced anger. They'd all suffered so much, but they defaulted to harmony. I have been weeping so hard at this... The Second Human Empire lives in another galaxy that they fled to! The alien paleontologist didn't know!
I mean the alliance of post-human species, the Second Human Empire, lasted for 80 million years so I'm sure there were plenty happy endings and get -togethers. :)
Eighty million years is too long a time not to have been able to flee the Gravitals to another Galaxy! We only know what the Author was able to surmise. As far as I’m concerned, the Second Empire lives on in another, distant galaxy! ^_^
I think the Saurosapians are one of my favorites. They may not be "humans" like the rest, but they absolutely had humanity, and they really loved the humans that cared for them and later became their pets. I think the Lizard Herders really showed their "lizards" what human kindness was, and they never forgot it.
Yeah, I really love this interpretation of their technology. The book only mentioned that they communicate through radio, but at that point in the future, 'radio' probably already advanced to the point of interplanetary Zoom calls or holographic projections
@@OphiuchusAnimation All tommorows makes me sad because all tho i applaud the creativity the story just makes me sad but this video just makes me so happy.Seeing all the post humans acting like old friends. i love it!!(Whispers:Probs why i have watched it 15 times already)
This pmv represent the exact essence of all tomorrow, it's not all about the body horror or the nihilistic story of the end of humanity. But it is the story of how the surviving humans made it back to the star and achieved what their ancestors couldn't, defeating qu and uniting under one banner.
And it also represent the theme of not just focusing on the endpoint of their history, but instead on their current friendships and journey along the way.
And when they finally do go against the qu they get absolutely destroyed and become more colonials. Best ending ever, everything becomes shit eating meat bricks.
Everyone’s mad about cute all tomorrows stuff (on other videos) when the main theme is humanity’s perseverance and the beauty of us overcoming hurdles and lasting through hell and back, in some form or another. This shows that bright theme so well! Humanity, for better or worse, shines through.
Yeah, I don't get why some people are mad over this video. To be honest, people who are complaining are probably missing the point of the book. The Author literally mentioned several times in the book that despite the difference in biology and cultures, and the millions of years of evolutions, all these posthumans are just like us. They have families, significant others, jobs, and hobbies. The Author literally showed a tattooed Pterosapien woman posing in front of a resort while on vacation, a Snake Person just quietly chilling in their house, a pair of Subject and Gravital lovers hugging each other, and a Lopsider playing with his pets. Those illustrations are made to show that they live normal daily lives, though all of the circumstances are different. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with this video at all. It's realistic to the book.
@Zeew707 They probably want an unhappy ending with everyone being dead or just want to see Gravital's omnicide or Qu's invasion, a nihilistic end to humanity or so while the book contain a heartwarming lesson about living for today and influence the tomorrow.
I have to commend the song choice, "I'm just the same as I was" is a powerful line when put in the context of All Tomorrows, it really ties to the central themes.
So many lines of this song seem made for All Tomorrows too One line I REALLY liked was "The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell" It fits the colonials just fucking perfectly
That part that made me cry was the modulars and the snake person reuniting because they were the only survivors of the the worst of what the Qu hade done and the sight of knowing where they were and where they are resonates deep with concept of humanity’s tenacity to push forward
Tysm!! And same, I imagine that those two species bond deeply based on their shared experience of rising up from the most humiliating depths to each becoming something truly majestic and beautiful in their own ways😔👌
Don't forget that the Satyriacs evolved from an extraction of humanity that were basically the Qu's purse dogs. All three of their peoples were abused, just not in the same ways.
@@LexYeen oh yea definitely, i always forget about that haha. Yea ig in a way although the satyriacs' ancestors werent exactly actively miserable it was still a fairly tragic fate to be reduced to what they were more so than a lot of the others around that time. I guess in that way that scene works even better including those three meeting one another, thanks sm for pointing that out to me, I wouldn't have realized it otherwise!💚
@@OphiuchusAnimation I think one species get it as hard though. It pretty unclear but the author is probably an intelligent temptors. Im not sure about his gender but it’s mostly implied to be male so that would be the hardest
This is what All Tomorrows is about at its core. The story of the everyday lives of people. I want to see more of this, instead of everyone going straight to the gravitals. There were millions of years of peace before then. I want to see the daily lives of post humans and how they interacted with each other. Symbiotes and Saurosapiens discussing husbandry techniques of their mounts, Snake people and Satyriacs listening to eachother's music, Sail people and Killer folk sharing stories of warfare from their past, A Pterosapien getting wing tattoos based on Asymmetric art, Modular people inspiring a wave of new modular bio-engineering by the Tool Breeders. The Asteromorphs watching all of this go down like its their soap opera.
What makes me feel slightly better about the Gravital omnicide, is the fact that before it happened, the Empire lived and flourished for millenia, if not millions years. They lived happily and united for so long, that it kinda makes you forget that there was an end of it.
@@alarmlessRifleman while it's still horrible that the Empire fell, I still smile at the knowledge it existed at all, it showed that the galaxy was capable of moving on, capable of healing.
Seeing their reaction to meeting eachother again, reconnecting after these millions of years. The song choice, the art. SEEING THE AUTHORS HAND PICKING UP THE SKULL!! Im crying
Something about the asymmetric person reaching up to the stars really resonated with me. Even coming from such a bizarre creature, it’s one of the most *human* gestures imaginable. Really made them feel relatable, like “yes, this is 100% a person, like me”
aw thank you, i figured it was important to give them a moment like that. I had to look through a shit ton of anime gifs to find decent references for the perspective of the hand tho lmao😅
It makes me so happy to see all the Post-Human Species together. They aren't acting hostile or being judgmental, they're just talking and being people, they never lost their inherent Humanity.
With the way some of today's humans can't even accept some other humans (who don't even look like snakes or raptors), this gives me hope that humanity is just too young still.
The All Tommorows fandom is the least problematic, most intriguing, and absolutely the most exciting community to be apart of. And that's unsurprising knowing the topic it deals with. Friendship and unity, thank you Koseman.
We just think humanity is pretty neat. Sure higher ups and a few bad apples have the tendency to show the worst of humanities flaws. But most of us are good people just living life and wanting a better place for those who come after us
It might be because there’s very little ambiguity, the All Tomorrows are what they are, their beginning, middle and end of their stories are already set in stone.
@@samuelfawell9159 well it's a DEEPTIME story so even though the major events may be set in stone, there's plenty of in between time to have all sorts of possible stories and the author even made it a point at the end of his book that the best parts is the stuff in between the major events he's written out
"The tale of Humanity was never its ultimate domination of a thousand galaxies, or its mysterious exit into the unknown. The essence of being human was none of that. Instead, it lay in the radio conversations of the still-human Machines, in the daily lives of the bizarrely twisted Bug Facers, in the endless love-songs of the carefree Hedonists, the rebellious demonstrations of the first true Martians, and in a way, the very life you lead at the moment. [...] To those like the misguided; look at the story of Man, and come to your senses! It is not the destination, but the trip that matters. What you do today influences tomorrow, not the other way around. Love Today, and seize All Tomorrows!"
"...Eventually a vastly different civilization, consisting of different creatures, and therefore based on unimaginable social and moral considerations, resumed exploration of the galaxy. On their travels, they met up with the other other successful colonies, so completely changed that neither recognized the other as a cousin. Now they have returned to Earth. Whether or not they recognize it as the planet from which their ancestors came is doubtful. If their bodies have changed totally, then so much more have their minds. It would be impossible for a mere Earth-bound imagination to understand the motives for their exploration, their attitudes towards the life-forms they have found, or their long-term intentions..."
"Aim is always the break of heroic fight, Death is the aim and life is the struggle, And man’s aim has been this struggle itself." ~ Adam, The Tragedy of The Man
Love letter to humanity really, which is what I think All Tomorrows ultimately is. “Ohh but the horror and crimes” humanity is not a simple thing-to love humanity is to hold it and all its grotesque faults, too. It’s reaching out and always, always saying “I’m here, too”. Beautiful work
I love this animation represents the journey that all descendants of humanity had to travel to finally meet each other I loved being able to see the journey that all these species had to travel from all tomorrow Capture all the essence that is all tomorrow's and you represented it in an incredible way
Thank you so much! that's 100% what i was going for and im so glad it showed through in my work: my favorite part of all tomorrows is how the human connection and spirit wins out time and time again, and this part of the story i think exemplifies it best with the triumph of finally getting to reunite🥺😔👌
it's so sad that the titans, Striders, Temptors and mantelopes never survived to be there. The moment they met each other through the screen, makes me cry T_T
@@theultimatememelord5494 Perhaps the Human descended races that made it found the non-sentient Mantelopes who're still beautiful singers /for mating and other reasons/ and enjoy hearing them sing so they took them in as pets or zoo animals.
Anyone ever notice how they all start off by looking to the stars and reaching out, it’s as if humans have a unique ability to sense one another no matter how far or distant we are in the galaxy.
YES, YES, FRIENDSHIP AND UNITY, JUST LIKE C.M KOSEMEN INTENDED No death or genocide for once, thank you. I just hope the Bugfacers had a chance at all this fun after they joined everyone in the end. They're all so colorful and pretty, I love them! And aww, the Killer fellow and the Satyriac are boyfriends!
Aaaaa yes that would be so cool if they did, I didn’t include them at the end cause that would basically take a whole other arc to explain but i hope they did 🥺😔👌 Also akdhdhjsj yOU NOTICED! Basically every satyriac-killer folk pair I’ve drawn end up half intentionally turning into a couple in my head, I just think those two species have the strongest bond having known each other the longest so interspecies relationships are hella common (also they’re just super compatible imo haha) (Replied w the wrong account at first whoopS🙃)
@@vasisamudradevi1424 I also headcanon the Saurosapiens and Symbiotes have a similar friendship, mostly because they bond other their adorable post human steeds.
We can just say that in this scenario, the Gravitals actually had emotional hearts and opted to leave the other races alone and do their own thing. Once the other Human descended races reach their level, the Gravitals join their family and become the black sheep race that'll fight to the death to protect their siblings.
Almost everyone glanced towards the stars with wonder and curiosity. Yet the Ruin Haunters stared up with anger and disgust, all while the Bug Facers looked down in fear. So perfect
thanks hehe, i can definitively confirm that every time i draw a satyriac and a killer folk together they are either dating or gonna be, tis both a blessing and a curse😔👌
God I don't care if I get called a crybaby but I was Genuinely Bawling through this whole thing. Something about it just resonated with me and it reminded me that even if a lot of us are here for the jokes, this is a book about the limitless potential and beauty of the future and of mankind and damnit I love that.
askdfjhd thanks so much, and yea i feel like everyone found all tomorrows cause of The Memes™️, which ill admit are a lot of fun, but after i read it for the first time i really noticed how much more to the story there was than that. It's really an awe inspiring piece of work imo 😔👌💚
I love how it all from the begging seems like it's all hopeless and pointless to live anymore, but then you see them thrive and you gain this sense of hope for all of them, I didn't know a horror book could make me cry out of happiness.
That's why we must continue on. We are the authors of our future, we imprint every footstep on our grand trip to the end of time. We were once the mindless creatures seen in the beginning half of the book, but we have perservered and become much larger than they could have ever imagined. We must have a sense of hope for ourselves because, even though it would take hundreds of years for each of our trips, the future relies on us. Whether we are the sole intelligent in this universe or not, we are the only ones who can paint the painting we want to see on the blank canvas of our galaxy.
There have been a lot of animations that have made the post humans look living, but this is by far the most “alive” I’ve seen any of them. There is so much feeling and happiness conveyed in them. This is literally incredible, in so many ways.
Hmmmmm. Many seem to focus on what made the post humans so different and alien. This shows that Qu fucked with them physically but didn't for the most part even scratched the soul of humanity that was so indomitable it survived millions of year. We can ignore the gravitals for the moment. Pretend this video takes place in an AU where their gravital's egos were so massive they became grounded despite the anti grav built into them.
it really captures that past there apperance they really are human the same desires and fears and joys and despairs of the humans of the modern day even the saurosapiens who learned it shear sheer revernce and evolutionairy mimicry
Even the saurosapiens, raised by theor posthumans and eventually overtaking them, are indelably human in some way. Perhaps not genetic, but their humantiy is there nonetheless
I love this so much. It captures the core message of All Tomorrows-- through every war, through every horror, through every terrible thing and every ending and every death, love and life persist. It is not how the human-varients died that matters, it is how they lived and how they loved. I went into All Tomorrows thinking it was completely bleak and hopeless, because all I had seen and heard of it was the monstrous forms the humans had become. I thought that was all there was. I didn't expect to hear about love or perseverance or survival. But I did.
It's amazing isn't it? No matter what the Qu did to us we never lost our humanity. The genes may be changed beyond recognition, but the soul is still there.
something about the aestromorph feels so comforting. like look at this lil but allpowerful guy just watching over everything, unaware of how powerful and strong he is.
@@inkblotthecolt And so alone. Asteromorph never joined the second empire, not even in trade. They should have. And if they did, the ruin haunters may never has gone down such a dark path.
Well considering that the asteromorphs did nothing to save the other species from the gravitals. Really only fighting them when the gravitals invading the asteromorphs(by this point they were gods in all sense of the word)
Love the Killer Folk and Satyriacs reactions when they see each other, that instant joy at finding they were right when they stared up at the stars, that they aren't alone and it leading to a family reunion of humanity's heirs
Best "All Tomorrows" work I've seen so far! Even realizing the non-canonical nature of the last scenes, I still could not help smiling looking at the meeting of all post-humans. This PMV is so beautiful and satisfying that I just can't find another words for it. Thank you for a great video and a new fandom masterpiece!
@@574guy I mean, if a handful of the Star-People where able to hide inside astroids from the Qu and eventually become the Asteromorphs, then surely a handful of posthumans could somehow evade the Gravitals
@@snickersbaja7706 I was thinking that too, and by the time the gravitals felt the genocide itch, all of the posthumans developed space flight I think, which would give them lots of options of escape
@Michael Ewoldsen Ima write an Au about this whole thing too lol. Already working on some character designs. It’s so great to see people inspired by this pmv because it has def inspired me.
Bro when the Killer folk and the Saytiriacs made contact and everyone started communication I started BALLING THIS PMV HAS BROUGHT ME TO TEARS AND I'M OKAY WITH IT
1:39 That moment when we see the transition from the colonials to the modular people is just so perfect. The fact that something so beautiful can come from such a history of suffering. Your designs are fantastic, I love how colorful the modular people are. The fact that they've regained their sense of self-worth and freedom after the Que did their best to strip it from them, is just so breathtaking.
wow. just wow, I had always considered "all tomorrows" to be a type of Lovecraftian horror story, but I really like this much nicer take on the whole thing, it really feels like a story about survival and over coming tragedy.
Lol it technically is a nihilistic lovecraftian story. But it's the spaces in between that make it so wholesome. Sure the qu morphed humanity and the Gravitals wiped em all out in the end. Which makes sense, everything goes extinct eventually. But they had millions of years of Hopes and dreams, good days and bad days, and just enjoyed life to the fullest. That was the point of the book... Live for today...and seize All Tomorrow's....
plus by modern standards the human federation of the second age lasted A VERY long time MILLIONS of years surpassing the majority of other human sci fi empires of fiction and also that the end scenes of them all being on one planet IS possible in the books they just mention the MAJORITY of the species didnt migrate to each other due to vast distance and time with no ftl travel but in a millions of year old federation even with no ftl would have TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PLANETS at least a ten thousand of them would be co inhabited planets
Everyone’s got a lyric plus an image that really gets to them, and honestly for me it’s ‘The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell, right to the top’ while we see a modular person emerging from the colonial field.
Mine would be the part with the lyrics: “This road never seemed so lonely-“ showing the Bug-facers looking away from the alliance, and “this house doesn’t burn down slowly.” Showing the Ruin haunters turning into the Gravitals
I feel like every species represent a part of humanity: - Snake people, their art and culture. - Sail people, their violence and warfare. - The Pterosapiens, their philosophy and way to live in the moment. - The Saurosapiens, their capacity to use their resources and learn from them. - The Modular people, their determination and capacity to change. - The Killer folk, their capacity to go beyond their natural instincts. - The Asteromorphs, their intelligence. - The Tool Breeders, their capacity to innovate. - The Symbiotes, their cooperation. - The Bug facers, their fear and capacity to defend themselves. - The Satyriacs, their frivolousness and freedom. - The Asymmetric people, their rebellious nature and out of the box way of thinking. - The Gravitals, their hatred and delusions.
“Humanity died. But Humankind survived.” Beautiful vid, legitimately almost made me cry, you took the weirdness of the original text and inserted the very humanity it tried to convey still resides within its many strange inheritors of humans.
Humankind is a collection of human beings. Humanity is a quality of being benevolent, kind and have compassion and love for everyone. So as other replies suggested, it should be the other way round. :)
God, i live how the way that this fandom repersents this story. How everyone realises that no matter what they/we become. The fact that we're human will *NEVER* change. There will always be compassion and love and kindness.
It's easy to forget, its easy to not remember. These arent horrible monsters, they arent evil aliens, they're people. They loved, they hated, they felt joy, sorrow, forgiveness and rage. Pain, pleasure, fear and happiness, they felt it all. Because they were us. At their very core, they were human.
This is why I love that the Astromoprhs and Gravitals were able to stop the Qu in the end, they may have taken away what they once were, but, they haven’t taken away their thoughts.
I love how colourful you made all the post-humans look here! Most artists I've seen draw them with regular human skin tones which just emphasizes the body horror a bit too much imo. I think your more vibrant designs make them look much more like actual (if alien looking) people and not just some horror show.
Thank you, I really just figured that over the millennia that if so many other of their body features could change then their pattern and skin tone probably could and would have shifted just as easily, also it just makes them stand out from one another haha😅💚
Thank you! Skin tone, pattern, and color changes so insainly quickly with evolution so it's kinda crazy to think they'd all be flesh colored after millions of years. If the rest of their bodies evolve, why not their skin too?
@@applepieexplosion4030 i feel its also the artist depictions from cannon, it almost looks aged and drawn on parchment or photos done with an old filter only showing those tone and not any colors. Kinda how with the last photo of the author and the skull its all yellowy aged color tones
Even if you didn't intend it, the twist you did at the end by showing the Gravitals and then the long scene in the command room with the alarm, the build-up to what would be on the screen, only for it to be a Satyriac at the climax of the song was absolutely brilliant. I've watched this three times now and I'm almost crying, you are officially my favorite contributer to this fandom.
Akdhhsjsjdb that’s so funny that ppl are reading it that way and I didn’t even think about it oncE, that was just the only and best place in the song I could show the gravitals, maybe it was a subconscious thing lol 😅 seriously tho, I’m super glad it adds so much to the suspense and pay off!, thanks!💚
iirc the gravitals would end the empire a few thousand years later as the empire only fell when the ruin haunters' star nova'd some 10,000 yrs before the empire fell, as interplanetary travel by single, individual beings is near impossible due to the distances and speeds necessary. it took them millenia to accomplish a single planetary exodus, and only then were they able to expand and conquer even a single other world. so at that point in teh song, it seems like they're about to start the 10 thousand year trek to a habitable world
I found out about All Tomorrows today. And a few minutes later I found this video. This is such a great video, I was so impressed with this lovely drawing that I caught a cold because of the gap between it and the original. I will watch this PMV over and over again as I rest my body in my bedroom.
2 Things I really like: I like how in the end none of them are actually in person, its more a representation on how it feels to each respective descendant after being reunited with their relatives via remote communications. I REALLY LOVE that the asymetric people are more ambientverts and they're more happy to be in a room with good vibes than actually vibing.
tbh that's what it could have looked like even when they aren't in person. they could have some crazy advanced virtual/augmented reality tech like the holo room that lets them really be with each other even if they are millions of light years apart.
I JUST REALIZED THAT WHEN THEY'RE ALL TOGETHER, IT'S HOLOGRAMS. IT'S HOLOGRAM TECHNOLOGY. THIS COULD TECHNICALLY BE CANONICAL BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT **IN PERSON** Y'KNOW??? God this was such an emotional roadtrip, I love this.
@@germaniamapper6606 Not neccessarily. There are ways to have this be cannon. All you need is hologram technology, collection of all the data of who ever the Hologram is supposed to be the avatar of and a AI program to more or less replicate that person. Then that Avatars experiences is downloaded to the host so he or she can learn more about the other humans there avatar has interacted with and same in return. Then as communication became more instant you simply have the hologram be hardlight.
@@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent he’s referring to the light delay, light travels at a finite speed of 1 light year per year, the post-humans home planets were presumably thousands of light years so it would take thousands of years to send a command to a hologram.
In some way, I guess the point of All Tomorrows is that the human spirit never died even though humanity died. Humanity was pushed back and turned into these monstrous creatures but they never stopped reaching for the stars even in their lesser states. The Human Spirit, whether hopeful or malicious, never died. Guess it's one of the reasons the Alien Author holding a human skull was a fan. Billions upon billions of years later, when mankind was long extinct, they left a mark in the galaxy as a specie that never gave up despite their misfortunes, they never stopped reaching for the stars.
It is stuff like this being made by the fans that really seems to create an even deeper atmosphere of tragedy in regards to the end of The Second Summer of Mankind at the hands of the Gravitals. Despite being reduced to the state of beasts, many of the posthumans still preserved and rebuilt their former glory while reuniting with the other posthumans, only to be utterly destroyed by a bunch of Minecraft villagers who got ahold of some old technology and turned into bowling-balls
Eighty million years is too long not to have ever met and cultivated the means to escape the Gravitals. As far as I'm concerned, the Second Empire lives on in another galaxy! :3
The touch of the bug-facers looking down when everyone else looked up, and the ruin-haunters looking up like everyone else, but with disdain... You put so many details into this and I adore it.
Damn, when you put it this way, it feels a lot more uplifting than the audiobook version. Guess it's true! "If you can still look to the stars with wonder, if you can still strive for a better tomorrow, and push forward despite the challenges and hardships that life throws your way. Then, no matter who you are or what you look like you can still call yourself, Nay you still are Human."
I love seeing projects like this, because it reminds me that in spite of the horrifically surreal imagery of All Tomorrows, there's still a glimmer of hope at the very core of the story. If there was an All Tomorrows movie/miniseries, I can imagine this song playing during end credits.
This honestly feels like a stellaris campaign. While the original All Tomorrows had hope at its core it was still dark and laced with body horror all the way through. This has the hope and the biological aesthetics turned up to 11. It's wonderful and while the original pictures were interesting and inspiring, these are just so cool and real nail the look of prospering societies rediscovering their long lost families.
God I fucking love stellaris! It would be fun to do an ALL TOMORROWS themed campaign. I play on consol though so I have to wait for the content dribbles from the PC Master Race.
@@alchemicmercury i have done a couple of all tomorrows stories in stellaris but ill favorite one. So i had a mammalian void dwelling origin (portriat i used was the one that looks like a porcupine with the beak, i really like that portriat :) ) they had their world cracked by an unknown species which they also left their habitats thinking they would die out but they were wrong. They prospered and even had the same fleet power of 2 fallen empires and during my expansion i bumped into a xenophobic fallen empire and i thought.. "well looks like i found the fuckers who destroyed my birth world." Over time i built up my fleets, placing citadels at the very edge of my border as well fortress habitats to make sure i can both get add more to my fleets and to make sure they couldnt keep progressing into my territory. Once all of this was done i instigated, creating a outpost right into their buffer zone. They told me to stop and i told them to fuck off and then war started and let me tell you we both suffered major losses in fleet power but over time they lost every ship. They sent a peace deal and me being a inward perfectionist i happily declined their proposition, i was going to enjoy every second of this. 1 by 1 their worlds fell to me, (you can judge me as much as you want but thats ok i wont blame you.) Once i captured every planet i destroyed all of the districts and their arcane technology buildings so that no one can get their hands on it once i was finished. For their slaves i felt sympathy and gave them the best traits i can offer (i went down the biological path) and released them as they all made their way to my friends territory but for their masters well.. i wasnt gonna let them go. 1 by 1 i turned them into either nerve stapled slaves to maximize 1 or 2 resources or had a lower intelligence to understand the situation they were in, some were servants just for extra rations others danced and entertained my people for our enjoyment. 1 planet was a first league world that i had just discovered and decided to maximize every alloy or consumer good i can get! Only a handful of my species were turned into what i called "masters" which their role in my empire were to just keep an eye on the slaves and to never let them rebel which thankfully never happened.
I'm a little late to the party but I wanna say, excellent animation! I really like how you focus on the hopeful side of things and the good times had. While the gravitals do eventually come in and ruin everything, there were still millions of years and countless lifetimes had during this peace, and you did a great job of excentuating that
When I saw the red flashing light at 3:05, I thought that was some kind of warning that the Gravitals were there. I teared up as soon as I saw the Satyriac on screen. Absolutely amazing work, genuinely looking forward to more work in general based on this timeline, there's so much hope, compassion, and even heartbreak in the 2nd galactic empire that needs to be captured. It's what makes them all feel so human.
Alskjdjsk oh no, I didn’t even consider that it could be read that way at first haha! Ig that adds even a little more suspense to the scene than i’d intended 😅I’m really glad that the emotion comes through so strongly in this scene, I really tried to play up the tension of the music in that part w the red light and the framing and stuff. And same, this era of the posthumans is so beautiful to me, I’m really glad I could expand on what was already present in the book in a somewhat meaningful way💚💚
If only the Qu had returned to the galaxy to "See what it was from their experiments" That would have prompted an Alliance between species, including Gravitals and Asteromorphs. Well at least the Qu had their deserved in the end... I wonder how the Tempters would have evolved if the Asteroid hadn't impacted their planet. Seeing that the Colonials managed to get very far despite being a "carpet of flesh"
I love how the Symbiote is like "Hey host I don't want either of us to die please reject the vape" lmao I mean it literally looks like the Snake Person has their own form of vaping and it's too funny But I'd probably be chilling with the Asymmetric Person who just wants to have some resting time :') Anyway, I definitely agree that this is a PMV that encapsulates the themes and successes of humanity over time - we get a hint of the Ruin Haunters transferring their minds to mechanical orbs (Gravitals), but the attack won't happen for 80 million years. Kinda sucks that none of the post-human species actually get to meet, and the best they can do is messaging (or video messaging even!) but I love the thought of the nine (+ the Saurosapiens since they've treated the dumbed-down Lizard Herders well) post-human species actually meeting in-person
(I also just realized there seems to be a handful of holographic-like effects to reference how they never actually got to visit each other and relied on communication -- you'd think this final scene would be on the Killer Folk's planet but based on how tangible/unfaded the Asymmetric Person looks, seems like it's their planet instead :O)
I love how everyone on the viewscreens at 3:17 are smiling like crazy, including the Asymetric and the Modular with their sideways and/or multiple mouths. Even the Symbiote, whose real mouth probably isn't built to do so, has its Host beaming happily for it. And the Modular's eye-components are pointed in five different directions, trying to get a better look at all these new friends and relatives at once! Oh, and the Asymmetric in the group pic isn't just resting IMO, but blissing out to the music the Satyriac is playing for the Killer!
I’d be lying if I didn’t say I cried, this song has such emotional value to me and combining it with one of the most inspirational things of my generation honestly made me feel amazing because if this is what humanity was able to come back from then that means we could literally come back from any challenge we may come into contact with.
Thank you, that means so much to hear!! I have a strong connection to this song too, it’s one of the few from my childhood that I think still holds up just as much as I remember when I first heard it, if not more. And these days I absolutely adore all tomorrows too so ig it just made sense to combine them lol😅💚
@@OphiuchusAnimation from one artist to another, I sincerely hope you keep up the great work and only good fortune awaits you up ahead (: thank you for putting some happiness in my otherwise depressing day :,)
Ahhh I know exactly what you mean!! From when I first read a tomorrows to when I was working on this project even through to now my favorite post human species have shifted so many times, there’s just so much to appreciate about each you have to give yourself time to dwell on and take in each one💚
This is so weirdly wholesome and hopefull. The designs were as monstrous as always, but the eyes, those eyes convey so much feeling and wonder, I just loved it.
Both this song and Little Dark Age fit All Tomorrows so well. Despite the amount of deaths, suffering, mishaps, and genetic modifying by the hands of the Qu and later Gravitals, the post humans manage to be human and leave a legacy that would make their ancestors proud as well as aliens long after the last human descendants disappear.
You know you did good when you gave the Asymmetric folk a feeling of humanity. I give a Seal of approval to this video for turning one of the weirdest things in the universe into something I can feel sympathy for.
“To those like the misguided; look at the story of Man, and come to your senses! It is not the destination, but the trip that matters. What you do today influences tomorrow, not the other way around. Love Today, and seize All Tomorrows!” - C. M. Kosemen
HOLY FUCK THAT'S AMAZING DAMN. It's just strangely wholesome, and I don't know why. The posthumans' faces hold so much emotion, and when they find out others exist, it makes me happy for a completely fictional gang. Thank you for putting in the time to make this, Ophiuchus.
This is what I think makes all tomorrows special. That no matter how much we change and how far we evolve, the light of humanity, of togetherness, of where we all came from, of the simpleness of humanity always links us together and draws us close. This is perfect. Thank you for making this.
This is legitimately so emotional. The story of all tomorrow's can be so dark and depressing but seeing the human spirit stay alive for millions of years is beyond beautiful
Honestly the story isn't depressing in the grand scheme of things. Sure, they're all gone and such, and tragedies such as what happened to the Mantelopes happened, but all the species that managed to achieve space-faring civilizations had one thing in common, and that was their humanity. They all looked extremely weird, some flat out didn't even resemble human anatomy anymore, but that wasn't the case with their minds. They were all normal people with normal lives. That spirit never left, it even stuck around the non-organic Gravitals. It's that humanity of the beings depicted that honestly made the story overall much less depressing in my opinion. I usually tend to loathe those "what if" stories because they all take the heart out of it. Take Man After Man for example, it's a funny book but the story is just fucking depressing, because every species loses their humanity one way or another. The same can't be said of the All Tomorrows species, if anything each civilization emphasized aspects of our human nature. The Tool Breeders were innovative, the Satyriacs were fun-loving and promiscuous, the Modular People were perseverent, the Bug Facers were fearful, the Killer Folk were brave and were also warmongers, so on and so forth.
I love your style- it makes them so much cuter and less creepy. I love this so much! Even the Modular People look normal and ok instead of nightmarish and terrifying.
If you fucking told me 5 years ago that folks would be making fuckin PMVs based on that weird human specevo book by the guy who did All Yesterday's, I would not have fucking believed you. Y'all got me crying here. Thanks for making such awesome content based on shit I've been into for years that's finally getting it's due
I just came here from the All Tomorrows hashtag, and this is gorgeous! I love your interpretations of each of the posthuman species, and this is a really good song choice.
askdjfhdf thank you so much! i had a lot of fun designing them all within my own style, i love to imagine they're basically all super bright and colorful cause why the hell not if they're as weird as boats and snakes and stuff already. And thanks, i was listening to this song and it just heckin hit me that it would be super fitting for all tomorrows, at least this part anyways 😅
This has to be one of the best animations for this franchise that I've ever seen, I'll be honest the red flashing light right after the gravitals, really, gave a sense of dread, and I was halfway expecting to just see a massive ship about to destroy the city, but to have it actually be them all finally communicating was actually really tear jerking and an actual nice surprise for one instead of having it be all out genocide at the very end like people usually do, I really hope this gets a lot more attention than it has right now this really deserves it especially for how detailed and beautiful it looks, and probably being the longest hand-drawn animation right now involving all tomorrows.
I truly think that this is the greatest “All Tomorrows” animation produced. I hope that Koseman gets to see this, which is absolutely possible. I saw a 3D “All Tomorrows” animation (I think it was called “The Temptor’s Mating Call” or something), and Koseman himself actually commented under it. How incredible would it be for him to see this amazing work of art? Keep up the good work!
The most heartwarming of the reunions to me is the creatures the Colonials turned into. Seeing them meeting the rest of the "family" means so much in the sense of they suffered the worst for being the ones to hold off the Qu for even just a little bit... In this video anyway, I just imagine there had to be all sorts of pride in seeing the remnants of humanity survive and in their different forms. They may have suffered, and perhaps for nothing in the long term, but to have passed through that trial and just to be with the rest. I don't know, I'm writing this through tears because despite having just listened to the story, if I can be hyperbolic and stupid, it feels like I've known these "characters" (these races) for years... Seeing them reunite and what that means thematically for humanity itself is just so damn inspiring. Even knowing full well the Gravitals are looming beyond the heartfelt scene of them uniting, the final scene just brings it together. I know the story's main theme isn't about the destination, it's about what we are doing now, but there's even a good ending in humanity being gone. The narrator holding the human skull and recounting our history means we aren't really gone. WE might be physically gone, but evolutionarily, we succeeded. We left a lineage on the universe, we left a legacy to be remembered by. We weren't forgotten. I don't know, even that knowing humans are gone in this universe, it's still hopeful. We had a good run, all things considered. There were rough times, honestly, awful times, but they were still times, and we left that impression on someone beyond us. Honestly, it's also nice knowing we, and a bunch of aleins, kicked the living shit out of the Qu in the end too. Fuck the angy dragonflies.
All tomorrow's really does awnser the question do you want your descendants to look like you and the awnser is "It shouldn't matter as long as they're thriving and happy"
C.S Koseman: These aliens never actually meet one another, and only know of each other’s existence through random interstellar communications, which means they never actually see one another. The fandom: Ah…no queen, Killer-folk x Satyriac, uwu!
In 3:29, I notice that the colors of the satyriac and the modular person are less saturated than the snake person. They also have horizontal lines/banding on them. So it's possible that they meet via interactive holograms
If All Tomorrows ended here, with this as a concept. I would not argue or complain - this is spectacular, I could feel every emotion and it resonated with me so much. Good freakin job on this!
А самое грустное, что автор в конце написал "все существа которых вы видели на предидущих страницах мертвы"... Это так грустно, ведь были моменты когда всё было хорошо, а потом все просто исчезли. Это просто прекрасная вселенная хоть и грустная)
@@пиляриймиронярий Нет в этом ничего грустного. Сама суть истории Всех Грядущих дней состоит в том, что ничто не вечно и повседневная жизнь обычных постлюдей - это самое важное в этой истории. Гравиталы это тоже люди, в конце концов.
All Tomorrows is a book about coming together and overcoming hardships as people regardless of histories or how we look, disguised as body horror cosmic horror.
One thing I absolutely adore about AT and this video to some extent is that it shows how "alien" the asteromophs are, despite being the purest descendants humanity has, shame they never decided to join the other post human civilizations.
Thank you, I’m so glad you picked up on that! They’re the only ones I didn’t switch out their og design for big toony eyes and mouths and stuff (even tho their eyes are the biggest anyway? Weird how that worked out lol) cause I wanted them to be the only ones whose expressions you couldn’t exactly read (aside from the gravitals too ofc)
@@OphiuchusAnimation i mean, in the book the guy in question is clearly intrigued, almost happy, at the thought of an interview, whilst in the PMV they're clearly being highly analytical and questioning what to do next, as either a quasar moved into the system, or a whole new era of random species they could never know were related to them suddenly took up space-age sentience in a mere few mil.
God i am so glad that this book has a fandom and that this fandom is so damn creative. Long span sci-fi is hard to pull off without alienating people and the effort that Kosman put into creating visual depictions of his human subspecies humanised them enough that it seems everyone who reads the book sees them instantly as fellow people, and i am absolutely down with that. Your animations are wonderful and colourful as well. Its also kind of funny that there are some clear favorites as well; everybody seems to love the Satyriacs and the Snake People the most, so im glad that you managed to get so many of the subspecies in!
Every time I rewatch it just hits harder the next time. God that is beautiful. It almost made me cry just the thought of humanity finally reuniting after such a dark time.
Yes, I would say the lyrics , music and scenes syncs up so perfectly and evokes the prefect emotion for those segments from 1:30 to 1:40 and 2:32 to 3:00 .
Let's take a moment to remember those who never made it and never got to reunite with the rest of them. Rest in piece: -Titans -Mantelopes -Temptors -Bone Crushers -Hand Flappers -Blind Folk -Striders If only they knew what could've been
Honestly i think this is the only Tomorrows vid that actually gives alot of life and human personality, the colors are all vibrant, and gives such a lighthearted true ideal human interaction with each other. Gorgeous work
Welp since this blew up so huge so quickly I'm gonna do a shameless™️ real quick and promote my Instagram instagram.com/ophiuchus_illustration/?hl=en (@Ophiuchus_Illustration).

Imagine trying to find out if we're the only ones in this universe, only to be responded to by not just intelligent life but your long lost relatives. They might've strayed far from what they once were, but they're still family.
exactly
After watching one of Kurzsgeast's videos and learning about the great filter I think learning that we are the only ones would be nice but unlikely.
@@sioneofiu8821 a personal theory of mine, the great filter is actually time.
We know just how big the fabric of space gets, what we forget is that time is just as big if not bigger. It took us barely 100 years to go from vacuum tubes adding single digits to external world brains that go well beyond cognition.
Maybe there is in fact intelligent life out there, we just missed it by a few million years.
What if they were your brothers or sisters
@@adibabrar1702 I know I just think that it would be better if we were the only ones.
The Saurosapiens and Symbiotes wanting to honor their steeds and hosts respectively are so heartwarming.

"The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell" is the PERFECT description for the Coloniels

@@OphiuchusAnimation The lyrics "Build from the bottom of the pit, right to the top" while showing the primitive, unintelligent worms evolving into the chill snake people also work amazingly together.
Ты трап?
I always think it’s funny the way Reptilians are included, because it’s like they’re larping as humans and everyone thinks it’s such a novelty that they’re just on board with it. Honorary humans.
Nah. They were technically raised by post humans and took on the mantle that those post humans lost the ability to gain. There are many families composed of members who aren't related by blood.
The way I see it? All that means is that what we call humanity isn't something inherent to something as banal and simplistic as species or genetics, but that it is instead a way of looking at the world.
@@LexYeen Exactly this. In a universe where the human species has been shattered utterly and reformed a thousand different ways, "human", like the beings that once bore the name, evolved to become something greater and more intangible. The moment the Saurosapients choose to take up the mantle of their Star People predecessors and look skyward, they became every bit as "human" as the other posthumans they were reaching out to.
I think it's a message about how legacy has nothing to do with the romantic ideal of 'true' humanity, the myth that the gravitals killed over. The saurosapiens are like an adopted lineage, no less human because ultimately 'human' is arbitrary. Life is what matters, not your genetic makeup.
@@LexYeen spiritualy Yes, but If you talk about a space-venturing materialistic society, genetics AND compromise is all that builds alliances in the stars, the reptilians were included not cuz of genetics but cuz of related history since they lived with the herders for most of their existence inheriting some human behaviors the herders still had left of their past humanity, they also Got infulenced by the history If the planet they lived in, since humans used to Live there, many ruins were left, even BEFORE they met the other post humans except the herders, they KNEW about the QU and What they did to humans (specified especially in the book) they grew up with a culture similiar to humans and the other post-humans and a big historical influence on humankind, it was only logical to let them in the alliance as a compromise despite not being post humans due to their historical footprint on humanity
The book: HORROR, INTENSE BODY HORROR, HUMANITY’S DEMISE, EXISTENTIAL CRISIS LOVECRAFTIAN STYLE-
The fandom: “D’aww look at these little folks getting a long and being pals!”
'There's others who survived the Qu, others who struggled and survived the horrors they inflicted on us. We can be together again.'
That was the kneejerk reaction. Not conflict, not misplaced anger. They'd all suffered so much, but they defaulted to harmony.
I have been weeping so hard at this...

Eighty million years is too long a time not to have been able to flee the Gravitals to another Galaxy! We only know what the Author was able to surmise. As far as I’m concerned, the Second Empire lives on in another, distant galaxy! ^_^
I think the Saurosapians are one of my favorites. They may not be "humans" like the rest, but they absolutely had humanity, and they really loved the humans that cared for them and later became their pets. I think the Lizard Herders really showed their "lizards" what human kindness was, and they never forgot it.
They are absolutely one of my favorites, and I agree. Humanity isn't something specific and exclusive to humans.

The fact that they couldn’t meet in person but you solved that issue with a sort of holographic vr chat is incredible wholesome

@@e.l.wallace9060It's like reality. Humans will go extinct at some point. It is sad, with cool moments.
Internet, ability to reunite old friends
Best all tommorows video so far
This pmv represent the exact essence of all tomorrow, it's not all about the body horror or the nihilistic story of the end of humanity. But it is the story of how the surviving humans made it back to the star and achieved what their ancestors couldn't, defeating qu and uniting under one banner.
And it also represent the theme of not just focusing on the endpoint of their history, but instead on their current friendships and journey along the way.
Exactly. Despite the severe hardships the Qu and the Gravitals threw at them, they hung on and rebounded and eventually defeated the Qu.
It really touches the heart, couldn't have said it better.
"What you do today influences tomorrow not the other way around, love today and seize all tomorrows"
And when they finally do go against the qu they get absolutely destroyed and become more colonials. Best ending ever, everything becomes shit eating meat bricks.
Everyone’s mad about cute all tomorrows stuff (on other videos) when the main theme is humanity’s perseverance and the beauty of us overcoming hurdles and lasting through hell and back, in some form or another. This shows that bright theme so well!
Humanity, for better or worse, shines through.
Yeah, I don't get why some people are mad over this video. To be honest, people who are complaining are probably missing the point of the book.
The Author literally mentioned several times in the book that despite the difference in biology and cultures, and the millions of years of evolutions, all these posthumans are just like us. They have families, significant others, jobs, and hobbies. The Author literally showed a tattooed Pterosapien woman posing in front of a resort while on vacation, a Snake Person just quietly chilling in their house, a pair of Subject and Gravital lovers hugging each other, and a Lopsider playing with his pets.
Those illustrations are made to show that they live normal daily lives, though all of the circumstances are different. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with this video at all. It's realistic to the book.
@Zeew707 They probably want an unhappy ending with everyone being dead or just want to see Gravital's omnicide or Qu's invasion, a nihilistic end to humanity or so while the book contain a heartwarming lesson about living for today and influence the tomorrow.
I have to commend the song choice, "I'm just the same as I was" is a powerful line when put in the context of All Tomorrows, it really ties to the central themes.
"I'm never changing who I am" is so impactful.
So many lines of this song seem made for All Tomorrows too
One line I REALLY liked was
"The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell"
It fits the colonials just fucking perfectly
Im emotional for a fictional story of the far future
The lizard larp’ers to their dumb human cattle “I never want to let you down” 😭
Beutiful into tje future
That part that made me cry was the modulars and the snake person reuniting because they were the only survivors of the the worst of what the Qu hade done and the sight of knowing where they were and where they are resonates deep with concept of humanity’s tenacity to push forward
Tysm!! And same, I imagine that those two species bond deeply based on their shared experience of rising up from the most humiliating depths to each becoming something truly majestic and beautiful in their own ways😔👌
Don't forget that the Satyriacs evolved from an extraction of humanity that were basically the Qu's purse dogs. All three of their peoples were abused, just not in the same ways.
@@LexYeen oh yea definitely, i always forget about that haha. Yea ig in a way although the satyriacs' ancestors werent exactly actively miserable it was still a fairly tragic fate to be reduced to what they were more so than a lot of the others around that time.

@@thefolder3086 isn't the author not human?
This is what All Tomorrows is about at its core. The story of the everyday lives of people. I want to see more of this, instead of everyone going straight to the gravitals. There were millions of years of peace before then. I want to see the daily lives of post humans and how they interacted with each other. Symbiotes and Saurosapiens discussing husbandry techniques of their mounts, Snake people and Satyriacs listening to eachother's music, Sail people and Killer folk sharing stories of warfare from their past, A Pterosapien getting wing tattoos based on Asymmetric art, Modular people inspiring a wave of new modular bio-engineering by the Tool Breeders. The Asteromorphs watching all of this go down like its their soap opera.
What makes me feel slightly better about the Gravital omnicide, is the fact that before it happened, the Empire lived and flourished for millenia, if not millions years. They lived happily and united for so long, that it kinda makes you forget that there was an end of it.

"The tale of Humanity was never its ultimate domination of a thousand galaxies, or its mysterious exit into the unknown. The essence of being human was none of that. Instead, it lay in the radio conversations of the still-human Machines, in the daily lives of the bizarrely twisted Bug Facers, in the endless love-songs of the carefree Hedonists, the rebellious demonstrations of the first true Martians, and in a way, the very life you lead at the moment.
[...] To those like the misguided; look at the story of Man, and come to your senses! It is not the destination, but the trip that matters. What you do today influences tomorrow, not the other way around. Love Today, and seize All Tomorrows!"
(Fast applaud)
Welp, Now I’m feeling motivated.
"...Eventually a vastly different civilization, consisting of different creatures, and therefore based on unimaginable social and moral considerations, resumed exploration of the galaxy. On their travels, they met up with the other other successful colonies, so completely changed that neither recognized the other as a cousin.
Now they have returned to Earth. Whether or not they recognize it as the planet from which their ancestors came is doubtful. If their bodies have changed totally, then so much more have their minds. It would be impossible for a mere Earth-bound imagination to understand the motives for their exploration, their attitudes towards the life-forms they have found, or their long-term intentions..."

Love letter to humanity really, which is what I think All Tomorrows ultimately is. “Ohh but the horror and crimes” humanity is not a simple thing-to love humanity is to hold it and all its grotesque faults, too. It’s reaching out and always, always saying “I’m here, too”. Beautiful work
I love this animation represents the journey that all descendants of humanity had to travel to finally meet each other I loved being able to see the journey that all these species had to travel from all tomorrow Capture all the essence that is all tomorrow's and you represented it in an incredible way
Thank you so much! that's 100% what i was going for and im so glad it showed through in my work: my favorite part of all tomorrows is how the human connection and spirit wins out time and time again, and this part of the story i think exemplifies it best with the triumph of finally getting to reunite🥺😔👌
It's very sad that gravitals ruined everything.
It’s one thing that Koseman neglected to put in but, in the millions of years these species had contact, absolutely would have happened.
@@RocRolDis He wrote it didn't because of distance.
@@cegesh1459 I know, but when you write a species that communicates by defecation it's hard to hold up serious science content.

Yup, and the other unnamed and extinct post-humans that died out too quickly :(
@@theultimatememelord5494 Perhaps the Human descended races that made it found the non-sentient Mantelopes who're still beautiful singers /for mating and other reasons/ and enjoy hearing them sing so they took them in as pets or zoo animals.
Anyone ever notice how they all start off by looking to the stars and reaching out, it’s as if humans have a unique ability to sense one another no matter how far or distant we are in the galaxy.
One never forgets family.
YES, YES, FRIENDSHIP AND UNITY, JUST LIKE C.M KOSEMEN INTENDED
No death or genocide for once, thank you. I just hope the Bugfacers had a chance at all this fun after they joined everyone in the end.
They're all so colorful and pretty, I love them! And aww, the Killer fellow and the Satyriac are boyfriends!
Aaaaa yes that would be so cool if they did, I didn’t include them at the end cause that would basically take a whole other arc to explain but i hope they did 🥺😔👌
Also akdhdhjsj yOU NOTICED! Basically every satyriac-killer folk pair I’ve drawn end up half intentionally turning into a couple in my head, I just think those two species have the strongest bond having known each other the longest so interspecies relationships are hella common (also they’re just super compatible imo haha)
(Replied w the wrong account at first whoopS🙃)
@@OphiuchusAnimation Honestly Satyriacs and Killer Folk have such similar energy, they'd just be coupling up a LOT! This was meant to be!!
They’re the first to develop interstellar technology and contact each other as well
@@vasisamudradevi1424 I also headcanon the Saurosapiens and Symbiotes have a similar friendship, mostly because they bond other their adorable post human steeds.
We can just say that in this scenario, the Gravitals actually had emotional hearts and opted to leave the other races alone and do their own thing. Once the other Human descended races reach their level, the Gravitals join their family and become the black sheep race that'll fight to the death to protect their siblings.
I love how the shapes of the modulars make them look like they have a scarf or a big neck ruffle. They deserve everything tbh.
Thank you, and big agree there, they’re awesome😔👌

@@Freekymoho the modulars are the very definition of what it means to be a chad
Almost everyone glanced towards the stars with wonder and curiosity. Yet the Ruin Haunters stared up with anger and disgust, all while the Bug Facers looked down in fear. So perfect

thanks hehe, i can definitively confirm that every time i draw a satyriac and a killer folk together they are either dating or gonna be, tis both a blessing and a curse😔👌
We do some trolling.
God I don't care if I get called a crybaby but I was Genuinely Bawling through this whole thing. Something about it just resonated with me and it reminded me that even if a lot of us are here for the jokes, this is a book about the limitless potential and beauty of the future and of mankind and damnit I love that.
askdfjhd thanks so much, and yea i feel like everyone found all tomorrows cause of The Memes™️, which ill admit are a lot of fun, but after i read it for the first time i really noticed how much more to the story there was than that. It's really an awe inspiring piece of work imo 😔👌💚
You are a good human, no worries, let yourself have feelings
I know how you feel, when the light started blinking and the see each other, it’s a heart retching moments
Same
Also about never giving about and the resiliency in every one of us!
I love how it all from the begging seems like it's all hopeless and pointless to live anymore, but then you see them thrive and you gain this sense of hope for all of them, I didn't know a horror book could make me cry out of happiness.
That's why we must continue on. We are the authors of our future, we imprint every footstep on our grand trip to the end of time. We were once the mindless creatures seen in the beginning half of the book, but we have perservered and become much larger than they could have ever imagined. We must have a sense of hope for ourselves because, even though it would take hundreds of years for each of our trips, the future relies on us. Whether we are the sole intelligent in this universe or not, we are the only ones who can paint the painting we want to see on the blank canvas of our galaxy.
Gravitals: UBIVAT UBIVAT UBIVAT UBIVAT!!!
There have been a lot of animations that have made the post humans look living, but this is by far the most “alive” I’ve seen any of them. There is so much feeling and happiness conveyed in them. This is literally incredible, in so many ways.
Hmmmmm. Many seem to focus on what made the post humans so different and alien. This shows that Qu fucked with them physically but didn't for the most part even scratched the soul of humanity that was so indomitable it survived millions of year. We can ignore the gravitals for the moment. Pretend this video takes place in an AU where their gravital's egos were so massive they became grounded despite the anti grav built into them.
@@waterpicker I like to imagine that too, this animation is what the post humans would have wanted, and I’d say it’s what they deserved.
it really captures that past there apperance they really are human the same desires and fears and joys and despairs of the humans of the modern day even the saurosapiens who learned it shear sheer revernce and evolutionairy mimicry
Because in the end we're all still human, regardless of what we look like we all came from one little blue marble in a sunbeam... this is beautiful.
I imagine All Tomorrow's would've been one of Carl Sagan's favorite reads ever
It's so beautiful and unique I adore this 💙💙
Even the saurosapiens, raised by theor posthumans and eventually overtaking them, are indelably human in some way. Perhaps not genetic, but their humantiy is there nonetheless
I love this so much. It captures the core message of All Tomorrows-- through every war, through every horror, through every terrible thing and every ending and every death, love and life persist. It is not how the human-varients died that matters, it is how they lived and how they loved.
I went into All Tomorrows thinking it was completely bleak and hopeless, because all I had seen and heard of it was the monstrous forms the humans had become. I thought that was all there was. I didn't expect to hear about love or perseverance or survival. But I did.
It's amazing isn't it?
No matter what the Qu did to us we never lost our humanity. The genes may be changed beyond recognition, but the soul is still there.
something about the aestromorph feels so comforting. like look at this lil but allpowerful guy just watching over everything, unaware of how powerful and strong he is.
But at the same time, that asteromorph still looks haunted by his survivors guilt. All powerful but still plagued by the past
@@inkblotthecolt And so alone. Asteromorph never joined the second empire, not even in trade. They should have. And if they did, the ruin haunters may never has gone down such a dark path.
He’s perfectly aware of how powerful he is; he’s a being of unbelievable intelligence
@@nickl5658 not really. Ruin haunters were never members of the sge. Asteromorphs joining it would probably not have prevented a gravital invasion
Well considering that the asteromorphs did nothing to save the other species from the gravitals. Really only fighting them when the gravitals invading the asteromorphs(by this point they were gods in all sense of the word)
Reject Qu, return to Humanity.
Certainly one of the best All Tomorrows fan work I've seen.
Love the Killer Folk and Satyriacs reactions when they see each other, that instant joy at finding they were right when they stared up at the stars, that they aren't alone and it leading to a family reunion of humanity's heirs
Best "All Tomorrows" work I've seen so far! Even realizing the non-canonical nature of the last scenes, I still could not help smiling looking at the meeting of all post-humans. This PMV is so beautiful and satisfying that I just can't find another words for it. Thank you for a great video and a new fandom masterpiece!
Askjfnsk omgg thanks so much!! I really gave this my all😅💚
Head-canon: they are survivors of the multi-species genocide
@@574guy I mean, if a handful of the Star-People where able to hide inside astroids from the Qu and eventually become the Asteromorphs, then surely a handful of posthumans could somehow evade the Gravitals
@@snickersbaja7706 I was thinking that too, and by the time the gravitals felt the genocide itch, all of the posthumans developed space flight I think, which would give them lots of options of escape
@Michael Ewoldsen Ima write an Au about this whole thing too lol. Already working on some character designs. It’s so great to see people inspired by this pmv because it has def inspired me.
Bro when the Killer folk and the Saytiriacs made contact and everyone started communication I started BALLING
THIS PMV HAS BROUGHT ME TO TEARS AND I'M OKAY WITH IT
Me too ;u;
It made me bawl too.
1:39 That moment when we see the transition from the colonials to the modular people is just so perfect. The fact that something so beautiful can come from such a history of suffering. Your designs are fantastic, I love how colorful the modular people are. The fact that they've regained their sense of self-worth and freedom after the Que did their best to strip it from them, is just so breathtaking.
wow. just wow, I had always considered "all tomorrows" to be a type of Lovecraftian horror story, but I really like this much nicer take on the whole thing, it really feels like a story about survival and over coming tragedy.
Lol it technically is a nihilistic lovecraftian story. But it's the spaces in between that make it so wholesome. Sure the qu morphed humanity and the Gravitals wiped em all out in the end.
Which makes sense, everything goes extinct eventually. But they had millions of years of Hopes and dreams, good days and bad days, and just enjoyed life to the fullest.
That was the point of the book...
Live for today...and seize All Tomorrow's....
plus by modern standards the human federation of the second age lasted A VERY long time MILLIONS of years surpassing the majority of other human sci fi empires of fiction and also that the end scenes of them all being on one planet IS possible in the books they just mention the MAJORITY of the species didnt migrate to each other due to vast distance and time with no ftl travel but in a millions of year old federation even with no ftl would have TENS OF THOUSANDS OF PLANETS at least a ten thousand of them would be co inhabited planets
Everyone’s got a lyric plus an image that really gets to them, and honestly for me it’s ‘The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell, right to the top’ while we see a modular person emerging from the colonial field.
thank you, i really felt like that was one of the ones that fit the best w its respective posthumans~
I felt that one as well, top notch editing!.
Mine would be the part with the lyrics: “This road never seemed so lonely-“ showing the Bug-facers looking away from the alliance, and “this house doesn’t burn down slowly.” Showing the Ruin haunters turning into the Gravitals
and the colonial part had a little lyrics that said made from rags lol
Mine is the part with the satyriac concert
I feel like every species represent a part of humanity:
- Snake people, their art and culture.
- Sail people, their violence and warfare.
- The Pterosapiens, their philosophy and way to live in the moment.
- The Saurosapiens, their capacity to use their resources and learn from them.
- The Modular people, their determination and capacity to change.
- The Killer folk, their capacity to go beyond their natural instincts.
- The Asteromorphs, their intelligence.
- The Tool Breeders, their capacity to innovate.
- The Symbiotes, their cooperation.
- The Bug facers, their fear and capacity to defend themselves.
- The Satyriacs, their frivolousness and freedom.
- The Asymmetric people, their rebellious nature and out of the box way of thinking.
- The Gravitals, their hatred and delusions.
The creator of All Tomorrow’s NEEDS to see this! Masterpiece.

“Humanity died. But Humankind survived.”
Beautiful vid, legitimately almost made me cry, you took the weirdness of the original text and inserted the very humanity it tried to convey still resides within its many strange inheritors of humans.
*mankind died but humanity survived would be more fitting
I did cry
Humanity died but humankind survived sounds like biological humans are still around, but we aren’t really there. Fits more for man after man
Humankind died. But humanity survived.
Humankind is a collection of human beings.
Humanity is a quality of being benevolent, kind and have compassion and love for everyone.
So as other replies suggested, it should be the other way round. :)
God, i live how the way that this fandom repersents this story. How everyone realises that no matter what they/we become. The fact that we're human will *NEVER* change. There will always be compassion and love and kindness.
It's easy to forget, its easy to not remember. These arent horrible monsters, they arent evil aliens, they're people. They loved, they hated, they felt joy, sorrow, forgiveness and rage. Pain, pleasure, fear and happiness, they felt it all. Because they were us. At their very core, they were human.
That's what i'm saying
This is why I love that the Astromoprhs and Gravitals were able to stop the Qu in the end, they may have taken away what they once were, but, they haven’t taken away their thoughts.
Except gravitals...
I love how colourful you made all the post-humans look here! Most artists I've seen draw them with regular human skin tones which just emphasizes the body horror a bit too much imo. I think your more vibrant designs make them look much more like actual (if alien looking) people and not just some horror show.
Thank you, I really just figured that over the millennia that if so many other of their body features could change then their pattern and skin tone probably could and would have shifted just as easily, also it just makes them stand out from one another haha😅💚
Thank you! Skin tone, pattern, and color changes so insainly quickly with evolution so it's kinda crazy to think they'd all be flesh colored after millions of years. If the rest of their bodies evolve, why not their skin too?
@@applepieexplosion4030 i feel its also the artist depictions from cannon, it almost looks aged and drawn on parchment or photos done with an old filter only showing those tone and not any colors. Kinda how with the last photo of the author and the skull its all yellowy aged color tones
Even if you didn't intend it, the twist you did at the end by showing the Gravitals and then the long scene in the command room with the alarm, the build-up to what would be on the screen, only for it to be a Satyriac at the climax of the song was absolutely brilliant. I've watched this three times now and I'm almost crying, you are officially my favorite contributer to this fandom.
Akdhhsjsjdb that’s so funny that ppl are reading it that way and I didn’t even think about it oncE, that was just the only and best place in the song I could show the gravitals, maybe it was a subconscious thing lol 😅 seriously tho, I’m super glad it adds so much to the suspense and pay off!, thanks!💚
I was scared at that moment lmao
iirc the gravitals would end the empire a few thousand years later as the empire only fell when the ruin haunters' star nova'd some 10,000 yrs before the empire fell, as interplanetary travel by single, individual beings is near impossible due to the distances and speeds necessary. it took them millenia to accomplish a single planetary exodus, and only then were they able to expand and conquer even a single other world. so at that point in teh song, it seems like they're about to start the 10 thousand year trek to a habitable world
I found out about All Tomorrows today. And a few minutes later I found this video. This is such a great video, I was so impressed with this lovely drawing that I caught a cold because of the gap between it and the original.
I will watch this PMV over and over again as I rest my body in my bedroom.
2 Things I really like:
I like how in the end none of them are actually in person, its more a representation on how it feels to each respective descendant after being reunited with their relatives via remote communications.
I REALLY LOVE that the asymetric people are more ambientverts and they're more happy to be in a room with good vibes than actually vibing.
aw thanks💚! and right same lol, i wanted the asymmetric in the last scene to just be happy and proud that it was their turn to host haha
are they not there in person? That snake person is sharing a smoke with the symbiote
@@tea-sus8722 nope, look close and you can see the static.
tbh that's what it could have looked like even when they aren't in person. they could have some crazy advanced virtual/augmented reality tech like the holo room that lets them really be with each other even if they are millions of light years apart.
@@joemo2215 Nah I'm pretty sure this is just a headcannon and they are in person here.
I JUST REALIZED THAT WHEN THEY'RE ALL TOGETHER, IT'S HOLOGRAMS. IT'S HOLOGRAM TECHNOLOGY. THIS COULD TECHNICALLY BE CANONICAL BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT **IN PERSON** Y'KNOW??? God this was such an emotional roadtrip, I love this.
To be honest, in person meeting sounds more realistic, because ping would be terrible.
@@germaniamapper6606 Not neccessarily. There are ways to have this be cannon. All you need is hologram technology, collection of all the data of who ever the Hologram is supposed to be the avatar of and a AI program to more or less replicate that person. Then that Avatars experiences is downloaded to the host so he or she can learn more about the other humans there avatar has interacted with and same in return.
Then as communication became more instant you simply have the hologram be hardlight.
@@Quetzalcoatl_Feathered_Serpent he’s referring to the light delay, light travels at a finite speed of 1 light year per year, the post-humans home planets were presumably thousands of light years so it would take thousands of years to send a command to a hologram.
*gasp* OH MY GOD
@@kayseek1248 how about Quantum Entanglement?
In some way, I guess the point of All Tomorrows is that the human spirit never died even though humanity died. Humanity was pushed back and turned into these monstrous creatures but they never stopped reaching for the stars even in their lesser states. The Human Spirit, whether hopeful or malicious, never died.
Guess it's one of the reasons the Alien Author holding a human skull was a fan. Billions upon billions of years later, when mankind was long extinct, they left a mark in the galaxy as a specie that never gave up despite their misfortunes, they never stopped reaching for the stars.
It is stuff like this being made by the fans that really seems to create an even deeper atmosphere of tragedy in regards to the end of The Second Summer of Mankind at the hands of the Gravitals. Despite being reduced to the state of beasts, many of the posthumans still preserved and rebuilt their former glory while reuniting with the other posthumans, only to be utterly destroyed by a bunch of Minecraft villagers who got ahold of some old technology and turned into bowling-balls
They embraced the sphere and went guy guivere
Definitely, but it’s good to know in the end humanity got to live in peace and defeat the Qu for good.
Eighty million years is too long not to have ever met and cultivated the means to escape the Gravitals. As far as I'm concerned, the Second Empire lives on in another galaxy! :3
The touch of the bug-facers looking down when everyone else looked up, and the ruin-haunters looking up like everyone else, but with disdain... You put so many details into this and I adore it.
Damn, when you put it this way, it feels a lot more uplifting than the audiobook version. Guess it's true!
"If you can still look to the stars with wonder, if you can still strive for a better tomorrow, and push forward despite the challenges and hardships that life throws your way. Then, no matter who you are or what you look like you can still call yourself, Nay you still are Human."
Even the descendants of the lopsiders doesn't look half bad in this art style.
I love seeing projects like this, because it reminds me that in spite of the horrifically surreal imagery of All Tomorrows, there's still a glimmer of hope at the very core of the story. If there was an All Tomorrows movie/miniseries, I can imagine this song playing during end credits.
How do you adapt and story as All Tomorrows?
This honestly feels like a stellaris campaign.
While the original All Tomorrows had hope at its core it was still dark and laced with body horror all the way through. This has the hope and the biological aesthetics turned up to 11. It's wonderful and while the original pictures were interesting and inspiring, these are just so cool and real nail the look of prospering societies rediscovering their long lost families.
God I fucking love stellaris! It would be fun to do an ALL TOMORROWS themed campaign. I play on consol though so I have to wait for the content dribbles from the PC Master Race.
@@alchemicmercury i have done a couple of all tomorrows stories in stellaris but ill favorite one.
So i had a mammalian void dwelling origin (portriat i used was the one that looks like a porcupine with the beak, i really like that portriat :) ) they had their world cracked by an unknown species which they also left their habitats thinking they would die out but they were wrong. They prospered and even had the same fleet power of 2 fallen empires and during my expansion i bumped into a xenophobic fallen empire and i thought.. "well looks like i found the fuckers who destroyed my birth world." Over time i built up my fleets, placing citadels at the very edge of my border as well fortress habitats to make sure i can both get add more to my fleets and to make sure they couldnt keep progressing into my territory. Once all of this was done i instigated, creating a outpost right into their buffer zone. They told me to stop and i told them to fuck off and then war started and let me tell you we both suffered major losses in fleet power but over time they lost every ship. They sent a peace deal and me being a inward perfectionist i happily declined their proposition, i was going to enjoy every second of this. 1 by 1 their worlds fell to me, (you can judge me as much as you want but thats ok i wont blame you.) Once i captured every planet i destroyed all of the districts and their arcane technology buildings so that no one can get their hands on it once i was finished. For their slaves i felt sympathy and gave them the best traits i can offer (i went down the biological path) and released them as they all made their way to my friends territory but for their masters well.. i wasnt gonna let them go. 1 by 1 i turned them into either nerve stapled slaves to maximize 1 or 2 resources or had a lower intelligence to understand the situation they were in, some were servants just for extra rations others danced and entertained my people for our enjoyment. 1 planet was a first league world that i had just discovered and decided to maximize every alloy or consumer good i can get! Only a handful of my species were turned into what i called "masters" which their role in my empire were to just keep an eye on the slaves and to never let them rebel which thankfully never happened.
@@idkwhattoputhere134 that awfully sounds like what the gravitals did
I'm a little late to the party but I wanna say, excellent animation! I really like how you focus on the hopeful side of things and the good times had. While the gravitals do eventually come in and ruin everything, there were still millions of years and countless lifetimes had during this peace, and you did a great job of excentuating that
Pensé que era el único que había tardado

When I saw the red flashing light at 3:05, I thought that was some kind of warning that the Gravitals were there.
I teared up as soon as I saw the Satyriac on screen.
Absolutely amazing work, genuinely looking forward to more work in general based on this timeline, there's so much hope, compassion, and even heartbreak in the 2nd galactic empire that needs to be captured. It's what makes them all feel so human.
Alskjdjsk oh no, I didn’t even consider that it could be read that way at first haha! Ig that adds even a little more suspense to the scene than i’d intended 😅I’m really glad that the emotion comes through so strongly in this scene, I really tried to play up the tension of the music in that part w the red light and the framing and stuff. And same, this era of the posthumans is so beautiful to me, I’m really glad I could expand on what was already present in the book in a somewhat meaningful way💚💚
For a moment there, a tinge of fear and dread is what i felt when that light Blips
Felt the exact same way, literally burst into tears.
If only the Qu had returned to the galaxy to "See what it was from their experiments" That would have prompted an Alliance between species, including Gravitals and Asteromorphs.
Well at least the Qu had their deserved in the end... I wonder how the Tempters would have evolved if the Asteroid hadn't impacted their planet. Seeing that the Colonials managed to get very far despite being a "carpet of flesh"
I thought the quiet part of the song would be the somber sad part of the moment but when a lil Dino man friend showed up I was so happy.
This is beautiful.
I'm replaying this all over and over again.
asdlkfjh thanks so much!
I discovered this video 30 minutes ago and have already watched it 5 times.
3:37 Oh my god, I just realized that the Modular Person's whisker/sensor things are making a lil heart shape, that is wholesome af😭💖
I love how the Symbiote is like "Hey host I don't want either of us to die please reject the vape" lmao
I mean it literally looks like the Snake Person has their own form of vaping and it's too funny
But I'd probably be chilling with the Asymmetric Person who just wants to have some resting time :')
Anyway, I definitely agree that this is a PMV that encapsulates the themes and successes of humanity over time - we get a hint of the Ruin Haunters transferring their minds to mechanical orbs (Gravitals), but the attack won't happen for 80 million years. Kinda sucks that none of the post-human species actually get to meet, and the best they can do is messaging (or video messaging even!) but I love the thought of the nine (+ the Saurosapiens since they've treated the dumbed-down Lizard Herders well) post-human species actually meeting in-person
(I also just realized there seems to be a handful of holographic-like effects to reference how they never actually got to visit each other and relied on communication -- you'd think this final scene would be on the Killer Folk's planet but based on how tangible/unfaded the Asymmetric Person looks, seems like it's their planet instead :O)
I love how everyone on the viewscreens at 3:17 are smiling like crazy, including the Asymetric and the Modular with their sideways and/or multiple mouths. Even the Symbiote, whose real mouth probably isn't built to do so, has its Host beaming happily for it. And the Modular's eye-components are pointed in five different directions, trying to get a better look at all these new friends and relatives at once!
Oh, and the Asymmetric in the group pic isn't just resting IMO, but blissing out to the music the Satyriac is playing for the Killer!
I’d be lying if I didn’t say I cried, this song has such emotional value to me and combining it with one of the most inspirational things of my generation honestly made me feel amazing because if this is what humanity was able to come back from then that means we could literally come back from any challenge we may come into contact with.
Thank you, that means so much to hear!! I have a strong connection to this song too, it’s one of the few from my childhood that I think still holds up just as much as I remember when I first heard it, if not more. And these days I absolutely adore all tomorrows too so ig it just made sense to combine them lol😅💚
@@OphiuchusAnimation from one artist to another, I sincerely hope you keep up the great work and only good fortune awaits you up ahead (: thank you for putting some happiness in my otherwise depressing day :,)
I love this fandom because they dont fall in love with an specific character... *but with an entire species*
Ahhh I know exactly what you mean!! From when I first read a tomorrows to when I was working on this project even through to now my favorite post human species have shifted so many times, there’s just so much to appreciate about each you have to give yourself time to dwell on and take in each one💚
This is so weirdly wholesome and hopefull. The designs were as monstrous as always, but the eyes, those eyes convey so much feeling and wonder, I just loved it.
Both this song and Little Dark Age fit All Tomorrows so well. Despite the amount of deaths, suffering, mishaps, and genetic modifying by the hands of the Qu and later Gravitals, the post humans manage to be human and leave a legacy that would make their ancestors proud as well as aliens long after the last human descendants disappear.
The fact that this make them all look so *alive* is both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the sametime.

Same I’ve watching this SO many times
You know you did good when you gave the Asymmetric folk a feeling of humanity. I give a Seal of approval to this video for turning one of the weirdest things in the universe into something I can feel sympathy for.
“To those like the misguided; look at the story of Man, and come to your senses! It is not the destination, but the trip that matters. What you do today influences tomorrow, not the other way around. Love Today, and seize All Tomorrows!”
- C. M. Kosemen
I guess Seska and Future Janeway from Star Trek Voyager didn't hear this or scoffed at this saying.
The destination matters too.
HOLY FUCK THAT'S AMAZING DAMN.
It's just strangely wholesome, and I don't know why. The posthumans' faces hold so much emotion, and when they find out others exist, it makes me happy for a completely fictional gang.
Thank you for putting in the time to make this, Ophiuchus.
This is what I think makes all tomorrows special. That no matter how much we change and how far we evolve, the light of humanity, of togetherness, of where we all came from, of the simpleness of humanity always links us together and draws us close. This is perfect. Thank you for making this.
Aye. Abstract goals and "grand purpose" always leads to destruction.
Its the present and joys in life thay matters and makes us human
This is legitimately so emotional. The story of all tomorrow's can be so dark and depressing but seeing the human spirit stay alive for millions of years is beyond beautiful
Honestly the story isn't depressing in the grand scheme of things. Sure, they're all gone and such, and tragedies such as what happened to the Mantelopes happened, but all the species that managed to achieve space-faring civilizations had one thing in common, and that was their humanity.
They all looked extremely weird, some flat out didn't even resemble human anatomy anymore, but that wasn't the case with their minds. They were all normal people with normal lives. That spirit never left, it even stuck around the non-organic Gravitals.
It's that humanity of the beings depicted that honestly made the story overall much less depressing in my opinion. I usually tend to loathe those "what if" stories because they all take the heart out of it. Take Man After Man for example, it's a funny book but the story is just fucking depressing, because every species loses their humanity one way or another. The same can't be said of the All Tomorrows species, if anything each civilization emphasized aspects of our human nature. The Tool Breeders were innovative, the Satyriacs were fun-loving and promiscuous, the Modular People were perseverent, the Bug Facers were fearful, the Killer Folk were brave and were also warmongers, so on and so forth.
I love your style- it makes them so much cuter and less creepy. I love this so much! Even the Modular People look normal and ok instead of nightmarish and terrifying.
If you fucking told me 5 years ago that folks would be making fuckin PMVs based on that weird human specevo book by the guy who did All Yesterday's, I would not have fucking believed you. Y'all got me crying here. Thanks for making such awesome content based on shit I've been into for years that's finally getting it's due
I just came here from the All Tomorrows hashtag, and this is gorgeous! I love your interpretations of each of the posthuman species, and this is a really good song choice.
askdjfhdf thank you so much! i had a lot of fun designing them all within my own style, i love to imagine they're basically all super bright and colorful cause why the hell not if they're as weird as boats and snakes and stuff already. And thanks, i was listening to this song and it just heckin hit me that it would be super fitting for all tomorrows, at least this part anyways 😅
Although before the modular people formed aka the most superior colony's there were colony wars between different colonies
Every once in a while I find myself coming back to re-watch this video and every time, without fail, it gets me to cry ! Man, I love this
This has to be one of the best animations for this franchise that I've ever seen, I'll be honest the red flashing light right after the gravitals, really, gave a sense of dread, and I was halfway expecting to just see a massive ship about to destroy the city, but to have it actually be them all finally communicating was actually really tear jerking and an actual nice surprise for one instead of having it be all out genocide at the very end like people usually do, I really hope this gets a lot more attention than it has right now this really deserves it especially for how detailed and beautiful it looks, and probably being the longest hand-drawn animation right now involving all tomorrows.
I truly think that this is the greatest “All Tomorrows” animation produced. I hope that Koseman gets to see this, which is absolutely possible. I saw a 3D “All Tomorrows” animation (I think it was called “The Temptor’s Mating Call” or something), and Koseman himself actually commented under it. How incredible would it be for him to see this amazing work of art? Keep up the good work!
The most heartwarming of the reunions to me is the creatures the Colonials turned into. Seeing them meeting the rest of the "family" means so much in the sense of they suffered the worst for being the ones to hold off the Qu for even just a little bit... In this video anyway, I just imagine there had to be all sorts of pride in seeing the remnants of humanity survive and in their different forms. They may have suffered, and perhaps for nothing in the long term, but to have passed through that trial and just to be with the rest. I don't know, I'm writing this through tears because despite having just listened to the story, if I can be hyperbolic and stupid, it feels like I've known these "characters" (these races) for years... Seeing them reunite and what that means thematically for humanity itself is just so damn inspiring.
Even knowing full well the Gravitals are looming beyond the heartfelt scene of them uniting, the final scene just brings it together. I know the story's main theme isn't about the destination, it's about what we are doing now, but there's even a good ending in humanity being gone. The narrator holding the human skull and recounting our history means we aren't really gone. WE might be physically gone, but evolutionarily, we succeeded. We left a lineage on the universe, we left a legacy to be remembered by. We weren't forgotten. I don't know, even that knowing humans are gone in this universe, it's still hopeful. We had a good run, all things considered. There were rough times, honestly, awful times, but they were still times, and we left that impression on someone beyond us.
Honestly, it's also nice knowing we, and a bunch of aleins, kicked the living shit out of the Qu in the end too. Fuck the angy dragonflies.
Que mensaje positibo
All tomorrow's really does awnser the question do you want your descendants to look like you and the awnser is "It shouldn't matter as long as they're thriving and happy"
C.S Koseman: These aliens never actually meet one another, and only know of each other’s existence through random interstellar communications, which means they never actually see one another.
The fandom: Ah…no queen, Killer-folk x Satyriac, uwu!
I thought there were a few that made contact multiple times
In 3:29, I notice that the colors of the satyriac and the modular person are less saturated than the snake person. They also have horizontal lines/banding on them. So it's possible that they meet via interactive holograms
@@elliotville7820 i also see those line-ish color changes (or something) that you also saw on old-school TVs on them, so that's pretty likely
Given that the post-humans empire lasted for at least 80 million years there is absolutely zero reason for them to not meet in person
@Lil' Duce
Well for this channel, it's actually Pterosapiens x Tool Breeders for this channel in particular 😂😂
If All Tomorrows ended here, with this as a concept. I would not argue or complain - this is spectacular, I could feel every emotion and it resonated with me so much. Good freakin job on this!
"They were too far away to ever visit"
The Fandom: "THEY LIVED TOGETHER IN HARMONY!!!!!"
I think in the animation they are holograms
@@mr.suki2425 Then why does the Symbiote riding the Sail Person look so scared?
@@sharondornhoff7563 i mean, It's like when people get scared in VR
"But all that changed when the gravitals attacked"
The part when all of them start communicating with each other is so wholesome.
Ох, это самое позитивное видео, которое мне доводилось видеть по данной вселенной..автору спасибо, так сказать, придал краски ;)
Также думаю
А самое грустное, что автор в конце написал "все существа которых вы видели на предидущих страницах мертвы"... Это так грустно, ведь были моменты когда всё было хорошо, а потом все просто исчезли. Это просто прекрасная вселенная хоть и грустная)
Эх
@@пиляриймиронярий Я ненавижу Гравиталов
@@пиляриймиронярий Нет в этом ничего грустного. Сама суть истории Всех Грядущих дней состоит в том, что ничто не вечно и повседневная жизнь обычных постлюдей - это самое важное в этой истории. Гравиталы это тоже люди, в конце концов.
All Tomorrows is a book about coming together and overcoming hardships as people regardless of histories or how we look, disguised as body horror cosmic horror.
to be honest not all of them looked like body horror
It's a book that doesn't like fascism
One thing I absolutely adore about AT and this video to some extent is that it shows how "alien" the asteromophs are, despite being the purest descendants humanity has, shame they never decided to join the other post human civilizations.
Thank you, I’m so glad you picked up on that! They’re the only ones I didn’t switch out their og design for big toony eyes and mouths and stuff (even tho their eyes are the biggest anyway? Weird how that worked out lol) cause I wanted them to be the only ones whose expressions you couldn’t exactly read (aside from the gravitals too ofc)
@@OphiuchusAnimation i mean, in the book the guy in question is clearly intrigued, almost happy, at the thought of an interview, whilst in the PMV they're clearly being highly analytical and questioning what to do next, as either a quasar moved into the system, or a whole new era of random species they could never know were related to them suddenly took up space-age sentience in a mere few mil.
God i am so glad that this book has a fandom and that this fandom is so damn creative. Long span sci-fi is hard to pull off without alienating people and the effort that Kosman put into creating visual depictions of his human subspecies humanised them enough that it seems everyone who reads the book sees them instantly as fellow people, and i am absolutely down with that. Your animations are wonderful and colourful as well. Its also kind of funny that there are some clear favorites as well; everybody seems to love the Satyriacs and the Snake People the most, so im glad that you managed to get so many of the subspecies in!
Every time I rewatch it just hits harder the next time. God that is beautiful. It almost made me cry just the thought of humanity finally reuniting after such a dark time.
Oh and of course the Saurosapients also meeting the rest of humanity
Omg 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 this was terribly beautiful and..
. And..... 🥺
SO WHOLESOME!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Aaaa thanks so much!💚💚
E.
Omg Alteori!!!! Big fan!!!
EEEEEYYYYYY
It will be cute until the gravital just enter the party
HOLLY CRAP! Is no one going to talk about how genius the part at 1:31 is? It's like the lyrics were made for the modular people.
Yes, I would say the lyrics , music and scenes syncs up so perfectly and evokes the prefect emotion for those segments from 1:30 to 1:40 and 2:32 to 3:00 .
Let's take a moment to remember those who never made it and never got to reunite with the rest of them. Rest in piece:
-Titans
-Mantelopes
-Temptors
-Bone Crushers
-Hand Flappers
-Blind Folk
-Striders
If only they knew what could've been
Not what they could've been.
What they were.
Cousins.
The Mantelopes aren't dead, they just reverted to animals.
You know, maybe we should just leave the hand flappers... Out of this list?
Yeah and all of the other post-humans that went extinct or were never noticed :(
And the og humans, poor guys
Honestly i think this is the only Tomorrows vid that actually gives alot of life and human personality, the colors are all vibrant, and gives such a lighthearted true ideal human interaction with each other. Gorgeous work
i like that the fandom knew that the bugface guys are xenophobic and didnt come to the call
