~ Holocene and Beyond ~
It has begun
For 3.8 billion years, there's been life on our planet. A world floating in the cosmos, a blue and brown dot in the vast universe. Elsewhere in our galaxy, tiny organisms were evolving on planets. On some worlds, life had only just appeared, on others it had been busy evolving and populating their landscape for millions of years already. On countless worlds life was going extinct. Birth, death, life, on a cosmic scale, beyond our or any other being's perception – at least for now.
And at this point in time, the miracle of life appeared on another world. Earth. This moment, which would lead to the incredible journey of evolution, although it would change this one world, was of no great consequence to the universe as a whole. Life came and went all the time, and on the grand scale of intergalactic life, Earth was a miniscule, insignificant speck of life. But for this rocky, blue planet, life would change everything.
As the first vertebrates swam through the primordial seas, 525 million years ago, elsewhere in the universe alien organisms were crafting tools and developing sapience. For Earth, it would be a long time until it would see high levels of intelligence. The closest it would get until humans, elephants, corvids, and cetaceans came along would be certain dinosaurs, but the ones that showed most promise were wiped out in the K-Pg event. Theropods lived on, however, in birds, which would later show signs of semi-sapience.
There was a long way to go until then, however.
When we reach the Holocene, everything on Earth changed in ways that would affect the future profoundly. From apes using stones to crack nuts, to the usage of fire and refined tool making, eventually those primates using sticks to fish for termites would build civilizations and colonise the surface of the planet. Homo sapiens would become the unexpected conquerer of Earth, wiping out species as it goes, and destroying habitats for its own purposes.
***
Cities, like a shining metal forest, grew and spread across the world, pushing back natural habitats like forests and grassland. Almost too late, humans realised the damage they were doing to the world, polluting it, destroying habitats, killing off species, and contributing towards global warming. It was too late to completely halt the climatic change they had caused, but Homo sapiens could change its ways. Reneweable fuels became the norm, slowly but surely. With the population so huge, there was never large amounts of wild spaces, and many animals went extinct in the wild, but lived on in zoos or in frozen genetic material.
The world entered a state of space exploration and genetic modification. Pets, which had for a short period become uncommon due to the lack of space, were now 'trending' again, as populations dropped to a more sustainable level. Genetically modification became common worldwide, GM'd species being used for a variety of reasons – some were pets, some were adapted to take care of invasive species, a few were even made purely for the purpose of teaching students. Further into the future, genetic modification became so common-place that the rich could ask for specially-designed, unique animals, and GMing became a sort of art form. Many of our pets were too frail and dependant on us to survive in the wild . . . but with the overwhelming number of GM'd species, many would survive in the future.
In the end, humanity killed itself, in a war to end all wars, wiping out their own species. Those who survived where killed off by the bio-engineered viruses, even the Martian people, the virus spreading to them from people fleeing from Earth on evacuee ships.
The bombed mega-cities were empty. The once life-filled domes on Mars were empty. The houses and parks were empty . . .
But Earth was not.
***
Humanity would change the face of the Earth in a way that would be felt for millions of years. It was our pets and companions, the genetically modified organisms, and the urban animals, that would take over where the cities once stood. While some areas still had a large amount of wild animals living in natural places, much of the Earth's land was covered in cities and 'parks' (large wild areas in the city, used for keeping endangered species in, semi-wild). After the extinction of Homo sapiens, the parks and the cities disappeared, forests and plains reclaiming the land. Urban animals and park species were free to conquer the new wild space, before less adaptable pets and GM'd species got there first.
But eventually, get there they did, and the world was changed radically, in sometimes surprisingly and bizarre ways. Many pets couldn't survive without humans, and died off, but there were some which survived. Amongst the genetically modified animals, some used their bizarre traits to help them survive, while less adaptable and frail species died off.
***
In Chapter I we will look at life during human's reign, from their pets to urban animals. We will look at the surprising habitats humanity will create, from floating 'reef' cities to Martian domes.
In Chapter II, we shall explore the legacy that humanity left behind in animal form, from pouched dogs to giant goldfish, bioluminescent mice to raptorfowl, and stranger organisms still . . .
***
Welcome to the Holocene and Beyond . . .

Chapter I
The House Unicorn
A brand new pet from CRITTERSUPPLIES.COM – the house unicorn!
These animals are small enough to be kept in your home, and are easy to care for. Their genetic sequence is mosty miniature Shetland pony, but its short horn (which is made out of the same stuff as fingernails) is taken from the genes of a rhino!
Their care is easy, thanks to our specially-designed unicorn food, and they are hardy, loving animals. They require daily exercise if possible, and a caring owner, as these pets can form very strong, permament attachments with their human!
Just like a dog or a house-pig, our unicorns need to be treated with respect, and as long as you are sensible, their short, blunt horn will do no harm, so long as it is kept in good condition and clipped every so often to keep it short.
The house unicorn: fun, loving, and easy-to-care-for. Buy one today from CRITTERSUPPLIES.COM!
The House Rabbit
A brand new pet from CRITTERSUPPLIES.COM – the house rabbit!
These fun-loving, surprisingly intelligent animals are dog-sized rabbits which are great with kids! Their docile habits, omnivorous diet, and easy training means that these critters are the perfect pet.
House rabbits require frequent exercise, and can be kept alone or in groups. They need to be kept active and entertained, as they are far more intelligent than a normal rabbit. This does mean that they can be taught to do tricks and do their droppings in a tray.
Buy a house rabbit from CRITTERSUPPLIES.COM today!
The House Pig
A brand new pet from CRITTERSUPPLIES.COM – the house pig!
These intelligent animals are as clever as your household dog, sociable, and loving! They can eat a variety of things, and our cheap pigfood is supplied here (now on half price!). They can be taught tricks and love to be cuddled and played with!
House pigs need little special care, except exercise and the occaisonal trotter clipping. Our hairy breeds are better suited to colder climates, so bear in mind if you live in a northern latitude and you buy a hairless pig, you should buy some of our wooly pig jumpers to keep him warm on walkies.

Nice. Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed that the terraformed Mars isn't canon anymore - it could be interesting to see just how weird things like chickenosaurs could get in an environment like that.
Also, why do I get the feeling that those house rabbits are gonna evolve into a walking Monty Python reference in the future?
And finally, will we be seeing more genetically modified reptile pets or de-extincted animals anytime soon?

Quotes
Spoiler: click to toggle
OctoSharkTaSaurus: WELP. HELL-O-PHANTS IT IS.
Kamineigh: I was six and I had started having fantasies about this old crone dying. Sometimes by my own hand. YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING HORRIBLY WRONG IF A SIX-YEAR OLD WANTS TO KILL YOU WITH THE SAME HANDS HE JUST USED TO MAKE A BLOCK TOWER.
Parasky: No, he's right, they have a medical grade walrus at most hospitals for that sort of thing.
Mr Mysterio, regarding yours truly: I'm learning things about you that I'm not sure I wanted to know.
HangingThief: An otologist is only as good as his walrus
Stealth_Rock: We have a discord for double penetration?
Ichthyander: If your eyelids are massive enough to significantly affect the path of light in space, it is time to go sleep.
Mr Mysterio: Glarn-Glarn, don't... don't fuck the cave baboons.
Kamineigh: They lacked wings. Instead, they went around in modified pilot's gear and beat the shit out of people using maces.
Parasky: No! We will not calm down! This is a serious argument over whether or not some long dead animal is in any way similar to a group of modern animals that they are descended from! THIS. IS. SEWIOUS.
Lamna: Obvious typo, I'm never going to be popular in Belgium.
Trex841: Interesting point. Valid counterpoint. Self-obsessed psychotic rant.
Parasky: No ties. Begin genetically modifying crows until we have organisms that roughly resemble those in the competition, and then have them fight to the death to see who wins this competition. Alternatively, Cephalian and SabrWolf could fight to the death. But at the end of the day something will be fighting to the death for my amusement to determine the winner.
Yellowdrakex: Is it alright to have an irrational fear of gliding snakes? They're snakes. FROM ABOVE.
Kamineigh: See, you wouldn't be in this mess if you began a bloody revolution every time your leaders showed to unsatisfactory.
Zihuatanejo: Somewhere in heaven, a very groggy, very confused angel has just woken up and is trying to figure out why a boisterous Australian man is poking it with a stick.
Komodo: I'm sorry but in what alternative universe would thousands of zebras be sent back in time by some sort of illegal time travel group to change history and preparing them by making gigantic working animatronic allosaurs? Seriously, why?
Parasky: Maybe y'all should move to America, where you can flex your freedom muscles.
Sir Spookums: It's a game about children catching super powered monsters, stuffing them in tiny balls, and battling other strangers' monsters. What about that makes sense in regards to anything, mister Kam?
Des Orages: Yi qi. Just when you think you've seen it all, nature screws us over once more.
Kaminiegh: This is clearly an inaccurate statement. I'd never challenge the authority of an admin... Unless Paraksytron stubbed his toe and fell over. THEN I, STARSCREIGHM, WILL BECOME THE NEW LEADER OF OF THE DE-SPECU-CONS!
Dragon: Is normal a good word to use for describing any of us?
Velociraptor: I once dreamed I was trying to steal a flamingo. The flamingo was oddly calm about the whole situation.
Kaminiegh: THAT'S IT, I'M KINKSHAMING.
Flashman63: In its 4,600 year history, men from all eras, places and classes have been entering into the Library: from the ancient bearded sages of Sumeria and Chaldea, to the sober-minded Academics and Zoologists of the Victorian era, to the great warlord Cletus, an inbred hillbilly who just happened to be carrying his AR-15 around his County's Strip-Mall library.
OctoSharktasaurus: Well, uh, it's a pseudo-tripedal, terrestrial subcontinental Madagascan Beaked Whale... Is that not obvious? It literally says it blatantly.
Holben: Did you not add lamb's blood to your fruit juice and the crushed bones of an englishman to your salsa? It's not authentic if you don't.
Kaminiegh: Shut up, Hybrid, stop ruining my chances of time-travelling and getting some Neanderthal tail!
Mr Mysterio: Except maybe Canada. If ever there was a country that was hiding secret reserves of powerful alien technology, it's probably mine.
HangingThief: If you answered mainly "yes," you are most likely a salamander. Unfortunately it is becoming harder and harder to tell these days.
Monster: In vaguely related news, I've developed a fear of my sewing machine. WHAT ARE YOU STRANGE NEEDLEBEAST
Mynxi: He sowed the seed, I merely pissed on it and saw what grew.
Beetleboy: The moral of the story: never trust a catfish.
Parasky: Speaking of original, note to self: write erotic classical Chinese literature fan fiction Bromance of the Three Kingdoms under pseudonym Tuck Chingle.
Little: Starting playing DND, took all of an hour of gameplay until a yuri love-triangle was initiated. And no, it was not my fault.
Corecin: If this is your first time with a lesbian love triangle in a DnD game than you don't even have to specify that you're starting out.
Octo: Oh no now Little will enlighten with the deep and complex subject that is hentai lore.
Beetleboy: It shows what kind of person I am that I'm seeking crush advice on a forum about creating fictional organisms.
Corecin: I am not in the mood for looking up yuri because then the FBI agent monitoring my computer will judge me with reckless abandon.
Blue_Komrade: Excuse me sir I am going to have to see if you have your membership card to the Misanthrope Club.
Parasky: Ultimately, by the miracle of microbiology and biochemistry, I have accidentally added an additional month to my brew and created a Bavarian style hefeweizen rather than the American style wheat beer I planned, despite technically not having the correct ingredients. However because I wrote down what I did wrong its not a mistake it's actually science.
Rebirth: I can't be the only one curious about what would happen if you spayed and neutered a male antechinus before it reached sexual maturity.
Ebervalius: Laws? What kind of spooky cuckery is that?
Parasky: Ah see, but that's just the thing, you thought that I thought that you thought that I had said you hadn't read it, when really I had said that you had said that you thought that I thought that you hadn't read it. So really it's Flisch's fault.

I didn't really have much planned for them honestly. They just kinda did some chickeny stuff, and then I got stuck because I didn't know where to go next with the domes.

Is the wooly pig inspired from this fella? Old mangulica breed from Serbia if enyone cares.

And you can go little crazier about gm pigs, there is miniature breeds already, and the woolly one above, and they are rely smart.
real life example, my sow(female pig if somebody dont know) found a way to open a door out of pen just by mimicking us, so yeah they are pretty smart.
And for gm reptiles make a dragon just use a gliding lizard, can't recall the name, and make membrane look like wing.

Projects (they are not dead, just updated realy slowly, feel free to comment):

-Galaxy on fire. They have left their home to get out of war. They had no idea what awaits them.
My Deviant art profile, if you're curious.
Before you get offended or butthurt read this
-If something i say sounds racists or sexists, I AM NEITHER OF THOSE, it is language or cultural barrier, if you get offended please note me of that so i may correct myself.
-English is not my native language, so gramar mistakes are expected, I will only accept your corrections if mistake makes comment unreadable, or if is something important like project post or com. Don't be a grammar-nazi, people dont like that.
-I often use a common terms when writing, so yes I know birds are dinosaurs and that whales are cetaceans, no need to correct me i know that.
-Sarcasm is something I commonly use in jokes, and before you get butthurt please check is it my sarcastic joke.
-My goal is not to offend anyone, unless somebody is seriously getting on my nerves, and in that case all this is off!

I like your future house pets.
On unicorns, it is interesting to note that it is actually possible to make unicorns without even resorting to genetic engineering. If you take a horned mammal at a young age and force its developing horn buds together, they will grow into a single unicorn horn.
An example
Ironically though this process would not work on horses, as they don't have horns.

I remember awhile ago I found that Hyrotrioskjan created his own unicorn as a speculative creature but it was a rhino that evolved from a lineage that became more horse-like.
Your modified horse is great, I have nothing against it; just thought I'd share this thought and may encourage other ideas you may delve into

You could also do a lot with frilled lizards. Add some cuttlefish and firefly DNA to their frills, and you've got one hell of a glowing, color-shifting display!
Also, I stand by my idea to make slurpasaurs: Big, lazy lizards with horns, spikes, and sails that would be good pets for people who don't have the budget or the time for something like a dragon or a raptorfowl. They don't need to eat much, can survive in a wide range of environments, and yet are still somehow more affectionate than cats.
Speaking of which, what weird genetically modified cats exist in this world? What about dogs?

He did mention house cats modified to look like Tigers, so there's those.
What if they made Manticores? Small cats with forelimbs like a bat so they can fly and or glide? Those would be cool, and give nightmares to every bird that thought they were safe in the sky.

Recent Projects The Lance That Pierced the Stars -The world of chordates throughout its history. A planet populated only by lancelets, algae, and zooplankton. Dogworld - A planet of Good Boys, man's gift to their dearest friends.
Old Projects The Twisted Mirror -my first project, in which some unknown event sometime before the carboniferous drastically changed the course of earth's evolution, and a new clade arose that replaced the tetrapods. And then evolution went nuts. Sphera Vitae -my second project. A universe of giant hollow spheres populated with life from Earth. Each is seperate and unique from one another, and some downright inhospitable, though life evolves and finds a way like nowhere else. Haemos Island - A tiny volcanic rock in the middle of the South Pacific. An island that is no paradise.
