I’ll update this when I finish it but I’ll actually be leaving on a trip soon and taking a break from fluffies so I just thought I’d post what I got. Mason ended up being fairly popular so yeah.
After I saw this lovely post by @chase70140 I knew I wanted to reference All Tomorrows too. Yes I know the timeline is off and the Asteromorph isn’t evolved enough. Let’s just say this is an alternate timeline where they decided to interfere with the Gravitals sooner and are more compassionate about other life.
That’s beautifully portrayed, poor little Mason couldn’t even begin to fathom the scale of conflict he was almost caught in. Even as a work in progress this is my favorite piece of yours
No need for alternate timelines, considering the huge gulfs of space & time involved, there are bound to be local variations. Including Gravitals who decide to start of their annihilation of all Earthly life by Abusing 1 particular fluffy, as an amuse-bouche. Or Astromorphs who have recreated the entirety of our history, but with fluffies, & are not amused by the implied criticism.
