I want my children to remember that no matter how hard your life is right now: Just wait; it is heartbreakingly beautiful and moving


yes

I look forward to this like I used to look forward to every new issue of the magazine “Heavy Metal” back in the ’70s

For those who love speculative bio, I can’t recommend Scavengers Reign on Max enough. I have a hunger for truly bizarre alien designs. I struggle to suspend my disbelief with StarTrek-like bipedal humanoid aliens because I think “cmon, in a parallel biosphere the life forms are going to be way, way weirder than that.” They also show the ecology, and the way different biomes bleed into each other. The aliens are so imaginative that the ways they converge with real earth life is interesting too!
A group of shelled, horned creatures lumber across a landscape of giant crystalline structures
A bipedal predator glares at the two explorers out of focus in the foreground. It has riblike protrusions on its back, a birdlike stance, and a triangle for a head, with leaflike structures on its neck
A pale somewhat amphibian, somewhat sluglike looking creature eats fruit. It has protruding gill slits. This is the preferred prey of the birdlike creature
A shelled parasitic arachnid creature with piercing fangs and a series of platelike eyes sizes up one of the explorers as prey
