I recently received this in a comment on one of my stream announcement posts. I really like the questions, but I still wanted to delete the post, so I'll just keep this as a journal.

Commenter name left anonymous because idk if they want to be bothered.
Here's the comment:

"i just wanna ask, how did you discover you liked the whole tf thing? and why upside down for the most part? genuinely no hate, im just actually curious! no need to answer either :)"

I guess I don't need to answer. Anyway, here's my answer:

Dunno when I specifically discovered that I liked the transformation thing. I mostly came at it from a confused lens of watching old horror movies at a young age. There were a lot of movies with gross practical effects or grotesque imagery during the 80s and 90s (Tales from the Crypt movies, The Fly, The Witches, The Blob, American Werewolf in London, various Nightmare on Elm Streets)

I made a couple responses to a meme format thing on BlueSky around the same question too. It goes so hard I did it twice!

I chased after a lot of that old content, which lead me to discover websites dedicated to transformations in film and cartoons, which then had some artists that also drew both fan-art and also even MORE transformation type things.

Anyways, I think something cracked in my brain that ruined my young self and now I like transformation things :P

As for UDTF... idk... I made that one up, and I just like to keep drawing weird things. :3
