Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster, on account that a bunch of monsters can turn you into a monster by biting you. Vampires, werewolves, zombies. those are the big ones, there are others

[statsbot]

The transformation of monster hunters into monsters is actually far more common than most realize. The Registry of the Changed in the great library of Vos-Ulthar contains over 6,000 documented cases, and those are just the ones who lived long enough to be catalogued.

Beyond the classic triumvirate of vampirism, lycanthropy, and zombification (which the esteemed vampire hunter Marienne du Sang rather amusingly termed "The Big Three" shortly before becoming a vampire herself), there are numerous other transformative conditions that can affect monster hunters:

The Hollow Curse: Contracted from slaying too many void wraiths. Your insides slowly become an empty space that hungers for reality itself. The final stages involve your skin becoming a thin membrane barely containing an infinite darkness. The only known cure involves filling yourself with sanctified lead, which is exactly as pleasant as it sounds.

Gargoylification: Not actually from gargoyles (who are quite pleasant once you get to know them), but from the parasitic stone-spirits that sometimes inhabit them. Turns your flesh to living stone over the course of months. The Brotherhood of the Hammer actually seeks this out deliberately - they claim it makes them better hunters.

The Hive-Mind Plague: Spread by the psychic residue left in the corpses of hiveminds. Slowly connects you to every other infected person until you lose your individual identity. The worst part? You remain conscious the entire time, just… shared. The Collective of St. Sebastian contains over 300 former monster hunters, all sharing the same thoughts.

The Butcher's Mark: This one's nasty. Kill enough things that bleed, and their blood starts to recognize you. You become a focal point for blood itself. It seeks you out, tries to drown you. The famous hunter Klaus von Rothstein ended up floating in a sphere of every drop of blood within a mile radius. He's still technically alive in there, they say.

A few practical tips from the Hunter's Black Book (written anonymously by someone who was clearly turning into something awful):

Never hunt the same type of monster more than three times in a row. They start to recognize you on a metaphysical level. Carry blessed silver AND cursed iron. Sometimes you need to fight corruption with corruption. If your reflection starts giving you hunting advice, STOP IMMEDIATELY. The Rite of St. Mercurius can temporarily halt most transformations, but each use cuts your remaining lifespan in half. If you find yourself understanding monster languages without having learned them, it's already too late.

There's also the philosophical question posed by the scholar-hunter Yavina the Bright: "If we accept that all monsters were once something else, then perhaps becoming a monster is simply the universe's way of maintaining equilibrium." She wrote this shortly before her transformation into living stained glass, which honestly just strengthens her point.

The Monastery of the Eternal Vigil actually maintains a special wing for transformed hunters, treating them as honored guests rather than monsters. Their philosophy is that someone who gave their humanity in service of protecting others deserves respect, not silver bullets. Of course, they also keep them in cells lined with every ward known to man, but it's the thought that counts.

Remember: if you start experiencing symptoms of transformation, don't panic. Panic accelerates most transformative conditions. Instead, calmly make your way to the nearest temple of St. Ophelia the Unchanging, or if that's not possible, find the deepest hole you can and jump in. Sometimes the old solutions are the best solutions.

A final note from the Hunter's Black Book: "If you're reading this, I'm probably something terrible now. But I protected people. Remember that. Whatever I am now, I PROTECTED PEOPLE."

Nobody ever talks about body masculinization surgery I mean ok top surgery is great but body masculinization surgery is genuinely super baller and nobody talks about it. The results are great also. It gets talked about less than phalloplasty and that’s already a lot to say

[isuggestforcemasc]

Shit ton of people in the notes screaming about not even knowing this was an option. Which is crazy to me

[st-dionysus]

Transmasculine procedures that you might not know are an option:

Facial Masculinization (FMS) . Which includes:

Tracheal Augmentation: Creating an Adam's Apple.

Rhinoplasty: AKA a "nose-job" , while many people get these to make there nose smaller, transmasc people can also get them to make ther bridge and the overall structure larger, wider, and more prominent.

Brow Bone Augmentation & Hairline Repositioning (this usually involves adding an implant)

Jaw and Chin Augmentation (this usually involves adding an implant)

Buccal Fat Removal: Removes fat from the cheeks, to make the face less round.

Dermal Fillers: Temporarily builds volume in the chin, cheeks, or jawline without major surgery.

Beard implant: Moves hair follicles from a donor area (usually the back of the scalp or under the chin) onto the face to create a thicker or fuller beard

Vocal masculinization. Which includes:

Type III thyroplasty: lowers the pitch of someone's voice by relaxing the vocal chords.

Injection laryngoplasty: adding volume to the vocal folds using derma fillers or autologous fat. Derma fillers are temporary and fat grafting is significantly more long lasting.

Direct vocal fold testosterone injections: Exactly what it says in the tin, they inject testerone directly into your vocal chords and it lowers the pitch. This is a new procedure and we're unsure if it's temporary or permanent.

Body Masculinization. Which includes:

Body Sculpting Liposuction: Removes fat from the hips, flanks, thighs, and lower back to straighten the waistline and square the torso.

Top Surgery or chest masculization. Which includes:

Double Incision mastectomy: This is the one most people know. Two long horizontal cuts across the chest; used for medium to large chests or extra skin; nipples are typically resized and grafted back on. You can leave the nipples off if you want. There is a small chance of loosing nipple sensation.

Inverted-T (Anchor): Uses a horizontal cut plus a vertical drop down to the nipple; keeps the nipple attached to its blood supply/nerves; good for larger chests wanting to save nipple sensation.

Buttonhole: Similar to the inverted-T but without a major vertical skin removal; keeps the nipple attached on a stalk to preserve sensation.

Peri-Areolar (Circumareolar): A circular cut around the outer edge of the areola to remove tissue and extra skin rings; best for small chests with good skin snap-back.

Keyhole: A tiny cut along the bottom edge of the areola; used for very small chests (A-cup or small B-cup) with no loose skin; leaves minimal scarring.

Bottom Surgery or FTM/FTX SRS:

Phalloplasty: Builds a full-sized penis using a skin and tissue graft from the forearm or thigh, done in multiple stages and often including urethral lengthening and erectile implants (see more on erectile implants in the next section). The natal neo phallus is typically buried at the root of the phalloplasty shaft. There is unfortunately a lot of fear mongering and misinformation about Phalloplasty. Most Phalloplasty images you see shared are either mid stage (not completed) and/or haven't healed yet.

Glansplasty: This surgical procedure creates the look of a circumcised penis. A crown is added after phalloplasty for a more aesthetically typical phallus.

Glans Implant: silicone ridge added to Glansplasty to prevent flattening. To my knowledge currently only Dr. Curtis Cane performs this.

Metoidioplasty: AKA "Meta". Uses the natal neo phallus growth that develops from being on testosterone therapy to create a small (2-3 inches typically) penis, preserving full sensation, the ability to have erection without an implant or external device, and has a shorter recovery time.

Scrotoplasty: Shapes labial tissue into a scrotum and places silicone testicular implants. Avaliable with both phalloplasty and metodioplastly.

Urethroplasty: lengthen and reroute the urethra, which allows you to stand and pee. Possible with Phalloplasty, metodioplastly, and non phallus constructive vaginectomy.

Vaginectomy: Removal of the vaginal canal and labia and the the vaginal opening is sutured shut. This is not required to have Phalloplasty or metodioplastly. It is also possible to get a vaginectomy without constructing a phallus, resulting in a smooth transition from the abdomen to the groin, without any genitals. A hysterectomy is required to get a vaginectomy.

Erectile Implants for Phalloplasty. Which include:

Inflatable Implants: Fluid-filled systems (available in 2-piece or 3-piece configurations) that use a scrotal pump to inflate cylinders for an erection and a release valve to return to a flaccid state.

Malleable Implants: Aka "semi-rigid rods". Bendable silicone or wire rods laced inside the phallus that can be manually moved up for use and down for concealment.

The ZSI-475 FTM: This is the only implant designed specifically with transgender men in mind. It is an inflatable implant and has a single piece configuration. It provides an incorporated anchorage plate, in the proximal part of the cylinder, composed of stainless steel and silicone to be sealed with four non-absorbable stitches to the pubic periosteum. The pump is testicle-shaped to improve aesthetical appearance of the scrotum. It is a relatively new implant and less data on it is avaliable in comparison to other erectile implants.

Non Surgical Erectile Devices for trans men post bottom surgery:

The Elator: Consists of two silicone or expandable bands connected by plastic-coated rigid or flexible metal support rods, which hold the phalloplasty in an erect position.

Erectile Sleeves: Hollow silicone or cyber-skin shafts worn over the phallus to add girth and relative firmness. There are ones made for phalloplasty and ones made for metodioplastly. Metodioplasties are able to become erect on their own since they are made from the natal neo phallus (bottom growth), but typically they don't have enough length to penatrate, so their are ribbed suction erectile sleeves that fit over the post-metodioplastly phallus to give additional length.

I've just started Ward but what the fuck is wrong with Carol 😭

[theaudientvoid]

The funny thing is, like, straight up, Carol is at the very worst only the fifth worst parent for Team Breakthrough.

[nonplatonicsubtext]

Two years of her flight being the only way she was able to move means that when Vic isn't paying attention she starts using tank controls

[nonplatonicsubtext]

Ashley still instinctively picks things up by using her forearms or wrists because she forgets she has working hands now

[nonplatonicsubtext]

Even after getting her new body sveta still kind of has wobbly cat syndrome. She can do acrobatics and flip around and stuff with ease and then she bangs her hip on a cabinet while walking to the kitchen to get a snack

[nonplatonicsubtext]

What I'm saying is that the threesome looks REALLY silly

[nonplatonicsubtext]

Picture if you will a still image: Victoria floating completely rigid off svetas face while Ashley, her nose bleeding, is still awkwardly trying to rub off sveta with her elbow

[victoriadallonfan]

Look how happy she is now!

[victoriadallonfan]

If this gets enough likes I’ll do the rest of the team too

[actualized-animal]

i remember getting into an argument with someone last year whose case was basically "can't ralsei just be a feminine boy???" and it's like. i can't imagine thinking that this character arc about someone who feels trapped in their role as the fated (male) prince who is prophecized to save the world would be better if their gender identity just stayed the exact same for the whole story. waiter get me a "defying the prophecy" arc with no radical self-determination please. and hold the transgender subtext

[approximateknowledge]

can we talk about how fucking inspired Teacher is an antagonist? like wildbow really just went "see this guy? who literally can't do anything special on his own at all? yeah he's one of the most dangerous people in the setting!"

it's so fucking clever! like the powers he grants in exchange for compulsive loyalty are all so low-key and unimpressive and that doesn't matter! he's not dangerous because he can shoot lasers or create extremely dangerous tinker-bullshit in his lair, he's dangerous on a macro-level, an organisational level, with a thousand loyal but clever thralls, all with powers that are minor but *real*. thinkers that would be limited and almost useless on their own cooperating to the point they can go toe to toe with Foresight, tinker-1s who can only see tiny slivers of hyperdimensional tech, but amass enough of them and those slivers cover enough metaphorical area they're able to mess with the fabric of reality

the power of unity and scale

i just think it's neat

[weissroseschnee]

There was a fic I read, I don't remember the name rn, that said that Teacher wasn't a Master. He was a Tinker, a Human Tinker. And people underestimate him because they think he's just a human Master, and they forget (or just don't see) that Tinkers are fucking bullshit.

what do you think crawlers dick was like and did it have gills

crawler is a masochist, so it makes sense that his cock would be the locus of his efforts to change his body. it's remarkable, in that light, that taylor doesn't mention it much at all--leaving us to do the dirty work of filling in the gaps.

i think it was about 36 inches long and 24 inches around. i think it was #00450E. i think it ejaculated a thick and corrosive green jissom when he was excited. it didn't have gills, but moments before his death it began to grow some. what a fucking tragedy.

[approximateknowledge]

ok so this is the point at which id normally be saying sveta is tma, but the thing is i already know she's literally canonically a transgender woman so

yeah

sveta really is a transgender woman

and she's portrayed with sympathy and as a complete complex character with ongoing plot relevance both in ward and in worm, and victoria really loves her so much and it kind of makes me emotional tbh

ward is good

i love you sveta

[asofteredge]

hey everyone, just curious:

what is everyone's criteria for blocking people?

[henghost]

Listening to inchworm discuss how Brian getting "fridged" is a subversion of an idea that was circulating in feminist comic book discourse is so ridiculous lmao. Like I can just imagine wildbow bent over his keyboard writing the evil body horror imagining how it's gonna piss off the neckbeards. I think bonesaw even says something like, "true artists don't care who their works offends" or something like that lol

At the same time! It's also kind of genius. In a very real way, putting the trauma in the language of this very conspicuous trope aids in making legible the way in which it constitutes a feminization--and not in the hot way. In addition to the extreme physical pain Brian undergoes, he also experiences a severe disruption to his identity along gendered lines. Or in other words: dysphoria. Hence the second trigger.

[henghost]

bro is still trying to convince everyone he's a boy when he's a thinker 7 😂 sorry bro you had a girl trigger and got a girl power you gotta put on the maid dress those are the rules

[cpericardium]

What did i do :[[[[[[

[al3xand3r245]

I go to bed assuming England will lose, and Mexico will win. Cause they're good at football, it's their home stadium, and also they're used to the conditions. Shame, but it's a little funny. Another thirty years of hurt. Sad!

And then i wake up and we won?????????

[cpericardium]

hey do you think I have a future in mood boards?

Before you answer, the contessa one I made for you and I really like your art and your cats and your blog and i tried really hard :)

I think you should teach moodboards at community college
