The Unexpected Profile Favorite Species FG

@willow How about you start from your smallest favorite organism and progressively become one of your larger favorite organisms down the list over time?

After putting up the last of the groceries, I felt exhausted. I am still getting used to moving around over an 8 ft (2.5 m) body. I just wanted to sleep on the couch, but none of the couches we had were large enough for me to sleep on them. It felt like I was dragging my giant Millipede body to the bathroom. My Father had already put mouthwash in a cup for me, anticipating that I may have trouble opening the bottle and pouring the mouthwash. Using my upper legs, I carefully put the mouthwash in my mouth, but I could not keep the mouthwash in my mouth for long. This was true even in my human form. After I washed my lower legs, I basically collapsed on my bed.

Once you get up, you immediately head to your computer. The computer was still on its side, open in an L-shape. You carefully put you computer back on its base and check the computer to make sure nothing became cracked or broken. You then start the troubleshooting process all over again. You go to https://easylinuxtipsproject.blobelgium.com/p/bugs.html on your phone, since you cannot use your computer at the moment. You start to follow the recommendations on the website to fix the errors you encountered.

You stay absolutely still, not wanting to make any movement. You hear your dog getting closer and closer. From above, you hear your Father say “Danganfox! Your dog was barking again!” in an annoyed voice. You hear some shuffling from upstairs. “Our daughter always wanted a puppy, so don’t complain since you are the one who bought the dog for her,” you can hear the sass in your Mother’s voice. Eventually, you hear the happy panting of your dog, which sounded extremely close to you. You can also smell your dog’s scent. Your dog then moves some of the boxes and starts licking you. It appears you scent is still the same. You remember you trained your dog to follow some commands, and move you right paw, directing your dog to go in that direction.

While you are unconscious, you have a very strange dream. You find yourself in a laboratory of some kind, but your vision is kind of fuzzy. You see giant tubes that appear to be made of glass, or something resembling glass. You are inside one of these giant glass tubes. You see people wearing lab coats and hazmat suits discussing something, “Subject 31415 from the so-called Thrive Community Forum just got caught today…” These apparent scientists look like they are observing and taking notes of the things inside these glass tubes. You recognize the vague shape of Dragonking in the glass tube directly in front of you, but cannot make out who are in the other tubes. Most likely other members of the Thrive Community Forum. You see another transformed member of the Thrive Community Forum being taken out from their glass tube, who starts to be tested on by the scientists in the hazmat suits. "We are ordered to move the Experiments to one large containment area after further testing, " you see a person in a military uniform explaining to the scientists in the distance.

You wait for the family to finish their picnic and leave before coming out of your hiding place. After half an hour or so, they get up and leave the picnic basket there. It appears they had left some food there. You quickly go to the picnic basket and take an untouched vegetable sandwich before moving on. Having some food in your stomach, you start to run around. You first dart from bush to bush in order to remain hidden. You don’t really have a particular direction or destination in mind. After going through a hole in somebody’s fence, you hear a car stopping in the distance, and a voice calling out, “Animalia! Where are you?!” You remain hidden, but see an ant hill in the corner of the backyard.

You cannot believe you just nearly burned and stabbed domin2ktr to death. But you cannot just leave him there in his current state, even though for the moment he lives. You hesitate to pick domin2ktr at first, because of what happened when you tried to pat out the fire. But while you were tunnel visioned in your focus on your fellow Thrive Community Forum member, the fire from domin2ktr has spread even more, causing the local the fire department and police to arrive at the scene. You then decide to gently pick up domkin2ktr in your front paws, making sure he is not uncomfortable by turning him on his non-burned side on your front paws. You then take a very deep break before flying, which sucks in a lot of air, helping to suppress part of the nearby fires in front of you. You take off straight up into the air, avoiding the police and firefighters that have started to come to the are. You head South to 3 Hospital Street for the Brad Municipal Hospital, overlooking the Crisul Alb river on your way to the hospital. While it takes you several minutes for your trip, you occasionally look down to make sure domin2ktr is still in your grasp. You gently come down and place domin2ktr on steps of the hospital as people start making commotion. You leave as soon as you came, seeing the hospital staff taking domin2ktr inside.

You take the marker and start writing on the other side of the paper. “Should we keep my transformation a secret?” When you stop writing with the marker, you look at your Mother and Father. “I mean, it is not like anyone will believe us if we tell them our child has become a Crayfish,” your Father says while shrugging. Your Mother looks at your Father irritated. “Really?! You would just blabber about that to our neighbors!” Your Mother says in a higher pitch. Your Father puts up his hands to calm your Mother down. “Of course I wouldn’t!”, you Father sounds concerned, knowing how determined your Mother can be when she makes up her mind. You just facepalm with your claws.

Am I still unconscious?

The funniest thing is that me and my mom picked her out as a puppy from the shelter, she’s just my dad’s buddy and he’s her emotional support human.
Also, for context of why I was so scared, she’s a shephard-sized mutt that might also have a bit of rottie and/or pitbull, plus a bunch of muscle from when she used to chase bunnies in her youth. However, she is now blind and diabetic.
Action: Direct her away from my position while staying hidden

It depends on whether you still want to be unconscious.

Not sure how well will that go. Also do you mean current thrive or a completed thrive?

Current Thrive. Time to play with OpenGL mode! (It is slightly better now, as along as you don’t make the organism completely dark colored).

i could work with that starting point, but just progressing from small to big, rather than any of the other option for how the transformations could work, would just not be worth it.
it’d probably be worse than getting permanently stuck as a single cell, since i’d eventually go from fox, all the way up to greenland shark, and suddenly, permanently, lose all my agility, my ability to move around on land(and while on land that is likely far away from greenland), and my ability to use computers, less than 2 transformations after getting it back

and also, for the necessity based transformations one, necessity means i die or suffer permanent injury if i don’t transform, but one of my other forms could handle the situation, and i transform only in such situations

the attribute one would let me survive for over a week as stuff like an octopus and the salamanders, due to the greenland shark, since 17 year old blue ringed octopi and axolotls probably never happen, and would probably die within a month if they did, but relying more on one creature’s attributes than the others would give me more of that organism’s characteristics, so, if i relied too much on the mantis shrimp, i’d start becoming a mantis shrimp, drastically increasing my sensory abilities, but making me able ro do less, or if i relied too much on one of the salamanders, i’d become a salamander, dulling my senses and limiting my movement speed, but letting me last longer on less food and letting me breathe water easily
there could also be a limit to how many organisms i use at once for it, and the minimum and maximum amounts for each organism

then there’s also random transformations, which would be interesting to say the least, and while i would be able to type some days, but not the next, it wouldn’t be permanent

there could also be environmental triggers that i’d have to work around
for example, forget to eat? green sulfur bacteria! touch water with your skin in a dark area? axolotl! touch water with your skin in a bright area? yellow spotted salamander! accidentally wind up in an anoxic environment with no light whatsoever, but there’s a fish i can parasitize? the protoanimal thing! fall from a really high place or see a bird while hungry? cat! get injured? axolotl! be in one of the shorter lived forms for too long? greenland shark! dry out on land near plant foods? fox! dry out on land near live meat foods? cat! get on land hungry while near plants? fox! see a tasty crustacean? mantis shrimp!
stuff like that would require building my entire character around, and wouldn’t let me just effectively be all of them all the time unless i did the work to learn how to use my character like that
and the instincts of my various forms controlling what amount of each organizm i use be a good way to balance the attribute one, since i’d have to learn how to make my instincts help me for it to be anything more than a hinderance
for example, see big fish? shark instincts come out
see tiny terrestrial or aerial prey animal or tired after being active for a bit? equal parts cat and fox
see smth fly in front of face? salamander, and bite the thing
tasty crustacean? mantis shrimp
cold and near warm spot? salamander
falling from a high place? cat, and land on feet

instincts based tranformations would actually be really fun to try and deal with btw, so the three i’d prefer one of being used are instincts, necessity(self preservation), and instincts based gradual shifting, but the two instincts based ones would be the most fun to use
