Yeah, sorry if that was more than you wanted to know. I just figured it's better to be upfront with how you know something and not just, dump facts on a person's universe.
I can get being cagey about all that info being out there. I'm not sure I really want to know what's out there for me or how accurate or inaccurate it might be. But in any case, I don't think we necessarily have to tie ourselves to hard and fast futures in other realms. At least this some extra time, even if it can't change anything, but maybe it's possible for a new ending.
Animals specifically, I don't think so. But we had a fair amount of odd incidents centered around our Tesseract. Consciousness swapping. altered realities. Alterations to age, sex, that sort of thing. Once I was a muppet for a weekend.
