It’s just temporary

“What have you done to me?” I shouted and ran to the bathroom. “Wait, let me explain!” Tyler shouted, running after me. I was completely unrecognizable. I had put on perhaps 30, 35 pounds of muscle, was covered in tats, and had an overall beefy jock dumbass look. Last thing I could remember was asking Tyler if I really needed to be tied down for his experiment. “What the FUCK have you ...

Capped

It’s super annoying. I was putting on the hat when he said “Careful so you don’t drop all your smarts”, and I thought “A dumbing down cap? What a tired cliché”. Why did I think that? I have no fucking clue what cliché is, or why it has tires. So fucking annoying I want to punch something. 

Prepped

I tend to make all my transformations downwards. Dumber, trashier, and less refined in different ways. But trying out different styles and topics is good, I think, so I decided to write a preppy conversion, from skater slacker to... preppy.

Again, lots of thinking around the photo. I was thinking of someone young walking on a city street. That should have been easier than it turned out to be, I feel. I got some help from a preppy discord channel to come up with alternatives.

Prepped

I honestly didn’t see her until the very last moment. It was too late, so I swerved hard, lost control of the skateboard, and did a tumble on the side walk.

“Oh, my. That was way too fast, wasn’t it, dear?” The old lady was ugly like a witch, but looked kind. “It’s usually no big deal.” I look around to locate where the skateboard went. I can’t see it. “And your clot...

The Hypnotic Triangle

I was going back and forth between this photo and the one I ended up with. This one feels trashier and more inline with the eventual convict thing at the end. But sweatpants are sort of worse than jeans, and dropping them in a less private location shows a deeper level of programming than this photo. Ultimately it was tumblr that decided for me, since they reject this photo as too explicit.

The Hypnotic Triangle

So you want to know more about my approach to hypnosis? Big change, fast change, and lasting change, pick any two. I prefer big changes. The kind where if you meet someone you haven’t met in perhaps a year, they are convinced you are a different person. Look similar perhaps, but definitively a different person. Sometimes you can achieve much with small changes, but again, that takes time and we are...

Test ride

I’m gon’ tell you what’s gon’ happen next. You gon’ hop in the back and we goin’ for a lil’ ride. Then we gon’ stop and I’ll ride you some more. You ain’t doin’ no walkin’ rest o’ the week, no lie. I ain’t askin’, but i reckon you’ll thank me later. 

Assimilation

Once accepted you were fully committed, they made sure of it. Everyone was on board the first day. Pledging yourself. The ritual burning of old possessions. Wiping out your digital footprint. It was day 3 or 4, sometimes already 2, when initiates had qualms. The process had to be a bit heavy handed to make sure there was no going back. Not so much nothing to come back to, as making sure no one else w...

Bias

People have so much going on that they always try to find that little extra shortcut to make their lives a bit easier. No matter how much you try to fight it, there is always that part in the back of your head that tries to profile everyone you meet. How can I make this interaction as easy as possible? From the large,  such as if this person is deaf or this person doesn’t know English, to the ...

Crossdressing

I often look at the blog pages of people who like/comment/reblog/subscribe on/to my tumblr blog. It's interesting to see what their interests are, if they have material that would interest or inspire me.

So I clicked on one person who liked a story and his blog was just filled with bible quotes and Christian imagery. I imagine that if I had sent him a message he would have freaked out, unsubscribed from everything and never read tumblr more, it felt like.

So instead I decided to w...

Crossdressing

This is by far my least favorite part of the week, Sunday mass. The love of Jesus is everywhere and eternal, and I firmly believe he can be celebrated throughout the week, but still I didn’t really mind giving up a few hours to worship. The hymns are stuffy and father Jones only has his set of 50 sermons to rotate through, but it gives a sense of community, purpose, coming together. And therein lies the problem.

I glance at my watch, 9:52. I feel like I probably had too much tea at br...

Coming of Age

- You think she’ll even recognize us.
- Of course she will. She’s our mother. We have to tell her.
- I suppose. But still, we could just walk away.
- The fuck is wrong with you? Think about her! She’ll think we drowned or something. Kidnapped perhaps.
- If you are so smart, what are we going to tell her?
- I think she’ll recognize us before we can even say anything. We’ll jus...

Buddy Light

As you are getting close to the meeting spot you see a bunch of guys your age wearing fatigues. You’re pretty sure this is the place and time, so you approach them. Perhaps they’ve seen your friends. Before you even open your mouth one of them hands you a can of Bud Light “Here you go, civilian. One ration.” He looks friendly, and you’d love to have a beer with the marines, but you have pla...

Off by One

It had started with one of those brief Internet crazes. “Hey number neighbor!!” read the text. He responded, truthful as always, “This is Luficer Morningstar, the devil”. It took some convincing that it wasn’t a prank or just a name thing, but that he actually was the eternal being Satan himself. Once he had convincingly proved himself, and the boy had recovered, the conversation was pretty...

Android

“and roid”. Ha ha, very funny. Now, if she could just understand that her little pranks cause quite a lot of problems for us non-magical beings. Why did I agree getting a familiar again? 

Sam Matthews

He felt like his whole body had been through a full length tumbler program, his mouth was dry and he could see the room was brightly lit even before he opened his eyes. What the hell was going on? He was on his way home, was he not? Had there been an accident? Was he at the hospital?

As he adjusted to the blinding light, he quickly realized this was no hospital. Not a patient bed room at least....

Chroniwat

One thing I struggle with is how to format conversations. First you have the narrative version.

"I don't think that at all!" he said. Martin considered it and replied "I was certain all along. Wait... does that mean you didn't move the clothed?"

It often works well, but not when you get into rapid exchanges like

- Clothes?
- My gym cloths?
- Why would I move your gym clothes?
- Well, someone did. If not you, then who?

This all falls apart whe...

Chroniwat

Guess what? It’s real.

No way! I don’t believe you.

It’s old, has “sometimes reset” written on it, but totally works. I’ve already tested some changes.

So how do you look now?

Basically the same. I just fixed a lot of small stuff that has been bugging me.

I still don’t believe you. Why would anyone get rid of one? At least you would sell it for a shitload of money.

Pull over.
