re: transformations
So really, I say I like TF stuff when mostly I favor large, fuzzy beasts, such as werewolves/bears, apes/bigfoot, etc. Things like lizards, birds, horses etc. don’t do it for me. But there is a specific transformation trope that will always at least, get my attention: when a dude has a really slow-burn, part-by-part change happening. Especially if he feels it happening but doesn’t realize what’s going on at first. Like say his ears turn into bear ears, and then maybe his feet or he grows a tail. Like the little things happen first. And then the other changes start coming. But he has time as his partially changed self to... idk. panic, freak out, try to make it stop, etc. That “still a human but what’s up with your ears” look. <.< there’s probably a Japanese word for it. I don’t always like it but sometimes it can be kinda fun.
