Just in time!
Happy international dog day! :3
So I had a stupid but cute idea
(May or may not be based on real events) Also bonus panel cause I got complains that I wasn't being honest with this competition
Hey I wanted to ask a question about the story you and some other people have been making together.
At first I thought the animal hrt was allegory for transgenderism as I see you are trans and it felt very true to some experiences I've had as a trans woman.
However recently it has started to diverge and I'm wondering if it is intentionally moving to a statement / story about transhumanism directly rather than as the aforementioned allegory.
This may just be my interpretation of it but I'm genuinely interested if it is intended.
(I mean no disrespect, I am a transwoman as well as being a transhumanist ideologically)
I'll say it again but those stories were never meant to be an allegory to trans experiences, those are just artists telling transformation stories about people becoming anthro creatures, that's all.
Most of those artists are trans, so we used HRT (Human Removal Therapy) as means to tell the transformation part, but the only thing in common it shares with actual HRT (Hormonal Replacement Therapy) is the name. Moreover, some of our personal experiences, including those related to being trans, inevitably show in our stories. So yeah, I understand the parallel between the two, but please try to consider the story as a whole different thing.
I'm hoping on the occasion to say that seeing people calling us out for giving bad HRT or trans representation is really pissing us off... Literally, that was never the point.
Hi, you don't know me and...frankly I'm fine with that. I prefer that. You were my first encounter with animal HRT; my friends showed me one of the first comics because...guess. The recent stuff has been...I'm sorry you've been getting hate over it, but it's something that's kinda struck home with me. Because of the...strange medical situation I find myself in, see; part of it has been difficulty with my thoughts. Various mental issues. And I can feel the pressure all around me. Get better. Get normal. And of course, you know, I want to be healthy, I do, but...maybe not...entirely. Maybe, just a bit, I'm tired of trying so hard, every day, to...get back to normal. Maybe I just want to rest and be a silly little pup. I don't know. I'm sorry, this is...a lot. Probably dumb. But I wanted to let you know that...your comic kinda hit me hard.
Whatever you're going through right now, I'm sorry. Most people usually don't wish for such a thing, unless they've gone through a ton of hurtful things in their life to the point of wanting to escape it...
It made me realize, I do not wish for anyone to relate to this comic cause the implications are... Dreadful
So yeah, I'm sorry this comic resonates with you 🫂
ok hear us out u know those hyena protection vests for dogs with the spikes and shit that protect them from hyenas and other predators. Were just imagining Eris wearing that (actually those vests would make a killer therian punk attire)
Those vests are not the most fashionable... She looks kinda pissed lmao
Soo... the identity death thing is a risk, not a guarantee?
I never said anything about identity death
Ok I did a thing
Animal HRT timeline!!!
Will update as everyone's stories goes one!
(Obviously couldn't include everyone, but feel free to add yours on this timeline) ^^
(Probably have to zoom in, sorry for PC users)
I got a question that's been bugging me for a while after reading your latest chapter on puppy hrt. What does it mean exactly to go all the way? Would your character just become a dog then? Like a regular old dog? If so would that be the end of her story? Cause if she becomes an actual animal I doubt that there would be any way to tell a story with her. To be honest I was shell shocked when I read that. I've been going to through identity death myself, so this could help me out.
Well all I can say is that she won't turn into a regular plain dog lol, she's still gonna be anthropomorphic.
Oh and the only one who talked about identity death is Doc, just saying...
Something's coming soon
