Feral Fridays 2024 | The Copper Coin of Change

There's no plague on this side of the Anvil that can stop the feral energy from flowing.   So, let it flow! Read these incredible words!
  My, how things change, whether in the day-to-day or so slowly it takes an age to even notice what's different. With a theme like change, it's a wide, wide world to think of what a collection of worldbuilders can invent for their worlds to represent it.   We know change in the real world to be a right challenge in the short and long term alike — those who go out and embrace change truly have a superpower I cannot fathom.

I have an appreciation for mundane things in a world, the less-than-spectacular creations people employ to live their lives. These get the job done, even if they're not perfect.

Planktonic Storm
by Mochimanoban
Another chilling quote to lead us into a uniquely dangerous phenomenon! Guess that breath of fresh air wasn't quite so fresh, after all? The plankton art is deceptively cute :)

Plague of Names

Noting that this plague goes both ways was a fun detail and I love the microconflicts it can bring, and the end note as well was unexpectedly wholesome!

I love getting to know the history behind creations like this vehicle! Why was it made, and where did it begin? The Bob Ross mention was a stellar touch.

Seeing the way an affliction could alter the way of life for an entire population is harrowing and intriguing! So devastating, but so easy to contract!
