The problem is that I feel like it would work but better as a shorter story, since I don't think I have enough to make it reach a decent length, but he paid for a 5$ commission, so he gets padded-out shit.
04:48	RandomSparks	Also out of every possible animal you choose a fucking hippo come on
04:48	Stupidium	Yeah his stories were pretty much limited to "girl turns into animal->does stereotypical animal shit->returns to normal"
04:48	RandomSparks	Well, he paid for it, I have to do it and hope it doesn't turn out completely terrible.
04:49	Stupidium	I can't really judge him on the species regard.
04:49	RandomSparks	I mean, fair enough on the choice, but it doesn't exactly make for an elegant transformation scene.
04:50	Stupidium	I have regrettably sought out whale TFs once or twice, on weird days
04:50	RandomSparks	:\
04:50	Stupidium	regrettably
04:50	RandomSparks	I would work on it now, but it's 4:50am and that's not a good time for writing.
04:51	Stupidium	Did he give you ANY other details
04:51	Stupidium	or was it just
04:51	Stupidium	"turn lara croft into a hippo then turn her back"
04:51	Stupidium	"here's five bucks"
04:51	RandomSparks	You know how I said I quoted it?
04:51	RandomSparks	That's a ctrl-v.
04:51	RandomSparks	That's literally it.
04:51	Stupidium	ha ha ha
04:51	Stupidium	ohhhhh wooooow
04:51	RandomSparks	Yep.
04:51	RandomSparks	I think I'm going to have to ask him for more details.
04:52	Stupidium	watch him say
04:52	Stupidium	"and she eats some plants I guess???"
04:52	RandomSparks	That's probably more constructive than anything I had in mind.
04:53	RandomSparks	WHich is really my big problem. I can't think of anything to draw it out that isn't really boring and reused.
04:53	RandomSparks	*Which
04:53	Stupidium	I dunno, man.
04:53	RandomSparks	"so you're a hippo now go walk around for a while while i pad things out ok"
04:54	Stupidium	All of Gysdude's stories come down to CHICK GETS TURNED INTO ANIMAL, DOES ANIMAL THINGS, "she turned back after (x time here)" AT THE END
04:54	RandomSparks	Pretty much.
04:54	Stupidium	WITH UNNCESSARY SHIPPING
04:54	Stupidium	THROWN IN
04:54	RandomSparks	:\
04:54	Stupidium	JUST BECAUSE.
04:54	Stupidium	no seriously check
04:54	RandomSparks	I know.
04:54	RandomSparks	I've seen his stuff.
04:54	Stupidium	he has a list of ships that all of his stories have to include if certain characters are in them-
04:55	Stupidium	maybe throw doppelganger as a hippo in there i'm sure he'd like that :V
04:55	Stupidium	pls no i'm kidding
04:55	RandomSparks	See, this is why I had the HoU. If I wanted to try a transformation, I had an excuse. If I want to do an original story, I want to have substance to it.
04:55	RandomSparks	I just don't want it to turn out really boring and generic.
04:55	Stupidium	there is a surprisingly low amount of "lara gets cursed, turns into an animal" stories out there
04:56	Stupidium	s'all breast inflation
04:56	Stupidium	such is life in dA
04:56	RandomSparks	This one just has the exact same excuse for it as always, which I'm guilty of using.
04:56	RandomSparks	"touches idol, BOOM TRANSFORMATION"
04:56	Stupidium	"just gonna touch this idol of a hippo nowwwwwFUCK"
04:57	RandomSparks	Pretty much that.
04:57	RandomSparks	My only idea for drawing it out is "Ok I'm going to touch it again to reverse it or whatever whoops it's on the other end of the spooky ruins now for some reason better go get it"
04:58	Stupidium	have her have to escape into a river at some point and do hippo shit, I'm sure he'd like that
04:58	Stupidium	...but then again that probably isn't very interesting to write
04:59	RandomSparks	I think the problem is that he's basically gone through the thought process that he does for his stories, and then thrown it at me. Problem is, I don't write like him, obviously. This is not going to be fun.
04:59	Stupidium	igotnuffin
04:59	RandomSparks	*shrugs*
04:59	Stupidium	do something completely outlandish
04:59	RandomSparks	ancient african hippo temple IN THE SKY
05:00	Stupidium	AFTER TRANSFORMING INTO A HIPPO LARA IS PUT INTO AN ANCIENT MAYAN GAMESHOW
05:00	RandomSparks	also it has to be in africa because reasons
05:00	Stupidium	AND MUST WIN IT TO SURVIVE??????
05:00	RandomSparks	*shocking twist*
05:00	Stupidium	ancient *AFRICAN GAMESHOW
05:00	RandomSparks	All this is is a brief distraction from the fact that this is going to be a clusterfuck of generic.
05:01	Stupidium	no man we can do this
05:01	Stupidium	we can wORK THIS OUT
05:01	RandomSparks	:\
05:01	Stupidium	this is like trying to make eating dinner more interesting, there's no way we can do it without making it stupid and outlandish
05:01	Stupidium	ffff
05:02	RandomSparks	no
05:02	RandomSparks	i can make eating dinner interesting as fuck
05:02	RandomSparks	it all comes down to character interaction and shit
05:02	Stupidium	shoot yourself out of a cannon, shoot grapes out of another cannon
05:02	Stupidium	profit
05:02	RandomSparks	This isn't helping at all.
05:02	Stupidium	maybe she can have an intellectual discussion with another hippo
05:02	Stupidium	and it probably isn't
05:02	Stupidium	sorry
05:02	RandomSparks	It's fine.
05:03	Stupidium	Maybe some African Deity is taunting her as she tries to fix whatever-it-is?
05:03	RandomSparks	that
05:03	RandomSparks	isn't
05:03	RandomSparks	actually a bad idea
05:03	Stupidium	stupidium king of ideas
05:03	RandomSparks	you're going in the credits ok
05:03	Stupidium	thx bb
