Yep, this is the work that I said was more personal to me. Furthermore, I promised a tangent for this piece, and here it is!! \/

“For the past… almost 2 years I’ve followed the Transformation community and had active tf moods. Usually they come and go at random, peaking when they reappear/appear in the media they’re from again. But there’s one exception; Shamura from Cult of the Lamb. Y’know, the big spider with brain damage that’s also a god of knowledge and war, some people who follow me will know them.
But why Shamura specifically? Why are they the one that’s still going strong after all this time?
To answer this, I need to go on a bit of a personal soapbox for a moment.
If you’re been on the internet for enough time, you’ve probably seen some form of big news (mainly American news), even if it’s from another country. Mostly, said news is depressing as fuck, and there’s a LOT of it to see. Really can make you feel… like your powerless, y’know? Especially if your brain runs independently out of your own control in a burdensome way, like mine. [I should really get that checked out some day ): ]
(Alright, NOW we get to the Shamura part.)
Shamura is deity of both war and knowledge. And despite their brain injury, they are still VERY powerful (and very big as well). Whenever I feel like my life may be meaningless (which is kind of often), I turn to this specific TF mood to help me deal with it. [Now, heres where I get REALLY personal for a sec. I mean, I kinda have to…] I want to feel my nonexistent muscle grow, hidden by a coating of deep purple fur. I wanna feel my bodily anatomy shift to something much, much more spider-like. I don’t wanna be my BIRTH GENDER anymore, I FUCKING HATE it! I wanna be Shamura DAMN IT!!
… Got a bit mad at the end there. I apologize, I just became too passionate there. Anyways, now you know why I have my Shamura TF mood for as long as I do. With all of that out of the way, Enjoy!”
