Shapeshifters - Blog Posts

I’m not a shapeshifter, but Sylris (my OC) is, and despite he not liking to expose his abilities, he made an exception for you only:

- Can you change your brain/other organs?

“Only if I have an extensive knowledge of how these organs work. The brain is too complex, with neurons and regions that change depending on their function. It’s not good to try changing it, as it can be a failure and cause an irreversible modification.”

- If you can change organs, if you had a lung cancer, could you shift your lungs to lungs that don’t have cancer?

“Yes, if I make an autopsy on a healthy lung.”

- What parts of your body do and don’t count as the shapes you shift?

“All of them count, including minor parts, such as nails, eyelashes, pores… This is why I can’t change to any shape I want, but only those I had studied a lot. It is a long journey.”

- Can you change your brain cells?

“As explained previously, yes, but I prefer to not do it. It is hard enough to understand how animals’ brains work, I rather don’t spend more time trying to change my brain if I am satisfied with it.”

“In resume, being a shapeshifter from my world requires you to be extremely disciplined, patient and dedicated. Many didn’t get to make it work because it is hard to adquire legal ways to study these organisms. But in my case… well, I’m the king now, they won’t send an arrest warrant for me, will they?”

A list of questions I have for shapeshifters

-Can you change your brain/other organs?

-If you can change organs, if you had lung cancer, could you shift your lungs to lungs that don't have cancer?

-What parts of your body do and don't count as the shapes you can shift?

-Can you change your braincells?

To any shapeshifters that may be on this website or just to people who know a lot about them

Alfred: Most vampires can manage one or two animal forms. Nocturnal animals like wolves, bats, or rats are pretty standard. -More powerful vampires, like Arthur, could turn into more animals. -I’ve seen Arthur turn into a cat, raven, and even a snake once. -I’ve also heard of vampire owls and hares. (And also Fluttershy.)

That's what vessels are for

Union

Fate decreed they be joined. Fate doomed both of them.

*shamelessly posts art of ocs on a fan art account*

Last year I visited a museum where there was an ancient sceptre on display. On it was the carving of a bird and a fish pieced together by an arrow; apparently a symbol for the conjugation of two previously warring tribes.

I decided to borrow the motif for my two shapeshifter characters, make it into a twist on the "red string of fate" trope.

Warning: This is whump. For my regular followers, if you don't want to see this, I might make a side blog for whump. But I had some ideas that I wanted to put out there so y'know.

First off, this is my first time writing these types of prompts, so if they're wonky, my apologies.

Secondly, this is all based off my own Shapeshifter lore that I don't think I've shared here, so if it doesn't make sense I might post my own original Shapeshifter stuff at some point.

(Btw I am a minor so don't interact if you're a purely nsfw blog thank youuuu)

General

Shapeshifters being sold as pets in pet stores

Shifters shifting away wounds and fucking up their physical forms

New Shifter owners keeping only one and unknowingly making them lonely and depressed

Shifter owners not providing their pets with sufficient materials to make nests

Being captured as trophies for hunters

Being refused clothes due to being "less than human"

Alternatively, Shifter owners dressing up their pets in embarrassing clothing

Forced to wear a collar that suppresses their abilities (thus preventing them from escaping easier)

Species-Specific

Animal Shifters being forced to stay an animal for long periods of time

Species Shifters being forced to change what they look like for art references

Object Shifters being forced to be lamps/tables/chairs/etc for their owners

I don't know if this is any good but I thought I'd try my hand at this!
