entirely positive for the subject, that's always fun. & interesting re: your blorbos i also wonder why that is!

of course, & awww thank you so much for the kind words!!! im glad you like my stuff :] the comfort aspect is absolutely there for me as well, both in terms of what the person is turning into or receiving comfort from the people around them mid- or post-tf. & things looking freaky while being

AS for why so much of my stuff is dt it's just that it's my favorite thing right now. i'd much rather draw and think about tf of a character i love than a sona, generic/anonymous character, or something like that. basically: i like to play with Blorbo

and its like. brother bear was one of a handful of movies i watched on repeat, the KND episode where they all got turned into animals was my favorite, my favorite goosebumps book was the werewolf of fever swamp. ITS ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS

idk there's more but that's some of it. ive always loved the topic and its only in the last few years ive really let myself get into expressing that publicly since it's something i've always felt kind of embarrassed about. but like, you look at my favorite childhood movies/tv episodes/books

and with dealing with physical & mental changes there's also the idea of someone alongside the person being changed, like a partner helping someone through a painful transformation or like. oliver feeding swan-randy pieces of popcorn while not knowing that's randy. funnie

there's also something in the concept of someone becoming ENTIRELY an animal, like the whole identity-death losing human cognition thing? it's not something i've thought about too much but it's kind of scary to me, in a fun way.

i don't touch on it much in my own work (partly because it's a difficult thing to express visually) but there are parts of mental changes that i like. animal instincts, animal senses, that sort of thing. someone becoming a carnivore and having the urge to hunt, for example.

there's also a lot about thinking about the physical experience of that character being an animal. for the peter one again, he slowly has to make the swap from plantigrade biped to digitigrade quadruped. i like the concept of people having to adapt to an entirely new body

see also: those peter-dragon long-term tfs i did a while back. starts with itching, he scratches the itch, eventually his skin gives way and sloughs off to reveal scales underneath. it's freakyyyy

body parts stretching out and warping (especially hands), and bits that look kinda wrong (why i was excited to do a horse tf for that karen image- horse hooves being a single finger/toe make the process of turning into one look weird and a little unsettling).

there's the actual like, physical aspects. like i have a very big penchant for yucky body horror- ie the thing is one of my favorite movies- and that's something you really get to play with. i think the best tf images are ones that are a little bit scary! i like drawing stretching/ripping skin,

but i dunno. there's a lot of ASPECTS i like but i'm not 100% sure i could tell you WHY i like them. i obviously have a big bias towards people turning into animals. like, i'll take the occasional human->anthro for the fun of it but i find it to be just a bit less appealing

strawpoll ask: hi, sorry if this is too personal a question, but I was wondering what specifically appeals to you about tf, especially since you view it from a nonsexual angle. bonus: why the focus on tf of dialtown characters?

not too personal a question, don't worry! i think it's a hard question to answer because i think a lot of it is just "ummmmmm well i dunno its cooooooooooool" idhbkjdvd

a pencil sketch of randy turning into a swan. her fingers fuse together as feather shafts emerge from her fingers and forearm, and fluffy body feathers begin to appear over her chest and shoulders.

also why can you ONLY apply content labels to posts with images. like that doesn't really matter in my case but that seems nonsensical. as we all know Words can't be not safe for work?

because bsky posts can't be edited, including content labels, i can't retroactively apply it to previous posts, though. sorry about that.

after investigating, i think it's probably my image IDs getting caught up in bluesky searches, sometimes i use the word "dialtown" or the full name of a character and that's prrrrobably what the asker is reacting to. so yeah, my bad, i'll use the "adult" label on future posts.

i do use the filters over on tumblr but i haven't had any problems over on this site with minors interacting with my junk but that's my bad i suppose for overlooking it.

still, i wish anon could just, like, ask like a normal person.

?i mean i guess i can if you want. i havent put anything ive made in any tags ASIDE from the tf tags so i guess it didn't really occur to me? i don't appreciate the passive aggressive sniping but if someone who wasnt looking for what i'm doing happened upon my stuff i guess it's necessary.

a strawpage question: how do you feel about character TFs? not TFing into species like pokemon but turning into specific characters like Bowser or Dedede or whatever

alas, character TF is not my thing. like, i get it, i have some pals who LOVE the concept, but it just does not appeal to me at all
