Well...that, sure, but beyond that, I can’t imagine how terrifying it’d feel to be forced into something so personal like that without any choice in the matter. I think this page specifically does a good job of conveying that same fear and frustration.

^ What Oxley said, in both posts. One of the chief joys of great TF writing is the *inner* transformation that occurs as the person affected gradually comes to see their change as something positive, rather than a curse. Duran hasn't really gotten started on that journey yet; I'm curious to find out how difficult it gets for him.

(And hey, kudos to you for this entire scene—/excellent/ writing)

It may be an uncomfortable exchange to watch, but...I think I can empathize with Duran on this one. TF is such a popular trope in this fandom, I don’t think many people really consider the implications of being transformed unwillingly, having your bodily autonomy taken away from you like that, even on accident. Like...that shit scares me, and I don’t blame him for feeling this way. Maybe it’s because I’m no fun and can’t separate fiction from reality (lol), but it’s still a side of TF I don’t see too often.

Character flaws FTW. We've come to know Blackbird as such a carefree, happy creature that to see her this distressed is quite upsetting in its own right. Such feels for both characters on this page.

Dang Duran, not everything is to blame on her!
