THE FOLLOWING IS IDEAS I MAY USE AS SET DRESSING IN A GAME I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE BUT THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT THE MORE I THINK THIS COULD GENUINELY HAPPEN IN THE REAL WORLD IF EVERYTHING GOES TO SHIT LET IT SERVE AS INSPIRATION FOR YOU TO CONTINUE CREATING YOUR LIFE BEAUTIFUL IN WAYS YOU DIDNT THINK POSSIBLE IF YOU CARE ABOUT SPOILERS FOR GAMES WHICH HAVE NOT EVEN STARTED DEVELOPMENT YET HOW DID YOU EVEN FIND THIS PAGE
whales will be the first earthlings to live among the stars. but it will be a long journey to get there
as they mutate to grow bigger and bigger, the skin will mutate to secrete oils that will make the water around them hold higher surface tension. this will give them extremely good control over bouyancy and as a mating ritual whales will jump performatively to attract mates. taken to the extreme over millions of years of genetic mutations, whales will be able to breach the atmosphere of the planet earth. there will be many generations of whales who would die by these compulsions. at first they would die upon reentry, the coldness of space freezing the water they brought with them, immobilizing. then the heat of the atmospheric friction quickly melting the ice, evaporating it, a cloud of steam surrounding the specimen, boiling the skin off immediately. this would result in highly pressurized clouds expanding quickly due to the surface tension no longer holding, a storm of blood and flesh. what would be left of the whale would be cooked alive. seabirds who see such sights and survive would earn quite a feast. or maybe those are scrapper guild drones. its hard to tell nowadays
eventually alongside the whales would evolve what we call demiwhales, although there is some ancestral teachings that refer to these beings as "fish" (pronounced fuszhsh) or "angels" (pronounced hank jewel). these are theoretical creatures said to have evolved from the depths of the earthly ocean, where the natural water pressure would match that of the high surface tension water surrounding whales. demiwhales commonly have jagged teeth, stout bodies, eyes which let in such a narrow ray of light that they are nearly vestigal, and a long tendril extruding from their foreheads which has a biolumniscent light at the end. the tides of the whales, controlled by body movements, compels the demiwhales towards points of interest, tho most commonly they will reside at the forhead of the whale, believed to be a naturally evolved form of headlight, and a marvelous display of nature mimicking technology. demiwhales are thought to have been much smaller in ancient times, due to maximum water pressure at the earths core measured by the scrappers guild showing lower pressure than that of living whale water
soon the whales would evolve internal heating capabilities able to keep water in liquid form when in the coldness of space. some whales would begin to "eject" their water by swimming back towards the earth after breaching the atmosphere. there were some whales which used this to route extravagant migration routes, jumping high into the sky then back down at an angle to maximize horizontal movement, akin to a wavedash motion performed in the ritually important texts of Celeste, Super Smash Brothers Melee, and Bwibbies Carpet. others even still, would use this "double jump" to go Further. some would enter orbit around the planet never to return to the surface. the body of the whale is eroded by the suns ray, eventually forming a ring around the earth. eventually, whales would carry atmosphere and ocean to luna. then again to mars. then, migratory whales would settle on the asteroid belt near the planet jupiter. they would evolve into much NOTHING. their bodies would mutate until fallen away. nothing but a circulatory and nervous system, all other bodily actions considered vestigal. storms of snow following wherever they go. one living animal large enough now to be a moon, holding its own atmosphere and creatures living and dead and in memory. for as the nervous system guide the creatures with electrochemical propulsion they also display the worlds subconscious thought, reflected in the snowflakes, in the sunsets, in the shape of the plants and the lens which could shape the stars into whichever shapes we please begging those still living to PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE WORSHIP SPEND TITHE WORK WORSHIP SPEND TITHE WORK WORSHIP SPEND TITHE WORK WORSHIP SPEND TITHE WORK WORSHIP SPEND TITHE WORK
and yet some would continue to ignore the signs. as is their right. many humans would come to worship the whales. as it was foretold by the Great Big Data Centers In The Sky. and they will be remembered as the whales gallop across the cosmos. how can you be so sure that you're not in a whales dreams right now?
