fandomhigh_ooc | Memery: Aminal Transformations!

JAMHUAHUA!

That is all.

Jack was a terrier, which is a canon thing -- he's likened to a terrier about 15 times in 200 pages, so of course Fandom had to make him an actual one.

It makes sense: He is small, fearless, tenacious, and good at tracking.

Sam pretty much had to be a honey badger, though a Tasmanian devil or a wolverine were close runners up:

Isn't she cuuuuuuute? Yes, I purposefully picked the only image I could find in which the Tasmanian devil was not showing off all its wicked ~~awesome~~ terrifying teeth.

RARRRRRRR!

Topher's been a lemur before, but next time he's going to be a baby gopher. Because I like to rhyme, and also it's pretty fitting. What with being a twitchy, twitchy minion.

Well, Claudia turned into a red wolf briefly one Halloween, but I've always figured that if I were to turn her into something for a few days or more, she would absolutely be:

I don't have the icon any more, but Priestly pretty much had to be a chameleon. I considered parrot for awhile, but at the time he was doing one of Geoffrey Tennant's shows, and a chameleon was just TOO PERFECT. . . .

Wes has turned into an owl before, because I had to think fast and I fail at creativity when I have to think fast. Come on. The guy likes books a lot. There's something there.

PINKIE IS ALREADY A PONY, OKAY? I have no idea what I would turn her into. Maybe a bear.

She probably needs to turn human one of these days. I'd have plenty of icon fodder (that link is to a google image search for "human pinkie pie". I cannot vouch for its work-safe-ness.)

Katchoo is a bunny rabbit! The scowliest, bitiest bunny rabbit ever, just for the contrast of sheer adorability to crankiness, and because

thatsamilkshake found the best pictures for it. I like irony. It's a thing.

FUZZY.

Kennedy always gets to be a hedgehog, because I love the idea of her being all bristly and thinking she's badass, but the sort of animal that people are more likely to look at and go "AWWWWWWWWW WEE LITTLE HEDGIE HOW CUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!" This is basically my entire reasoning.

I AM OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS.

A raccoon. They wash their food and I can see that with Vince being a raccoon.

Really, there's only one creature Ender could credibly be, considering.

Because he's a dragon. And one a lot more dangerous than he looks...

Tahiri gets to be a baby cougar. Because, well -- she was one. And I think I'm funny. Look, I don't have terribly elaborate reasoning on these things.

Gabrielle has not yet turned into any sort of animal. Given the things she tends to get turned into in canon (a ~~vampire~~ Bacchae, an archangel, a demon twice, a mermaid in a fantasy sequence in the WORST EPISODE EVER . . .) I figured she sort of had enough.

But if I did, I'd probably turn her into some kind of small, loyal, persistent, and earnest puppy. Or some animal that makes no sense whatsoever. I'll totally take suggestions.

So

dollpocalypse and I were actually just talking about this the other day, because Peter seemed HARD, animal-transformation-wise.

And then I realised ahahaha, no. No big, stately animals of the jungle or the planes for Peter, no. He is not that flashy. He has his own way of winning supremacy.

So really, only one animal makes sense.

Not that this will keep him from hating me if I do that.

DON'T YOU ABDUCT TOPHER'S BED, PETER. DON'T DO IT.

Bo (

nookiepowered): is an antechinus (not that she's ever figured that out), a small rodenty marsupial whose breeding partners tend to die out from exhaustion.

Francine (

thatsamilkshake): is a baby badger, because despite the soft, fuzzy exterior (and gooey chocolate center), if you mess with her people (or a kid) she will bite your face off, yo.

Xander (

soldtoarmenians/

needsaparrot): has only been transformed when Rita Skeeter turned him into a newt. (Spoiler: he got better.) Still, that's pretty appropriate both for his fandom and because I used to co-write a non-FH fic series where it happened to him constantly, so it still makes me LOL.

Emmett (

hazlehurstmiss): never got transformed, but if he had, he'd be a Flame Angelfish because...Emmett.

Illyria (

bitchy_smurf): likewise never got transformed (Except that weekend she was a boat. Tied to Worf.) but she would've been a stickbug, because c'mon.

Eliza (

loverlyviolets): never got transformed in mainstream Fandom but turned into a vampire bunny in Wishverse. Because Big Pointy Teeth! Run away! Run away!

Door (

notajar): would have been a rat or a pigeon, possibly both at different times. She already speaks both languages.

Cally (

onlymistaken): would have been an ambulatory telepathic alien cactus that you can melt down to make a highly addictive drug, because her canon is on the good crack

Edmund (

prof_of_cunning): would have been, despite his name, a black rooster, and incredibly put out about it because he'd want to be a snake, but he is, was, and always will be an utter cock. (...And Baldrick would've turned into a turnip. As Edmund would point out, he already is an animal.)

I wish more of mine had good stories behind them.

Didi(

living_endless) was a black cat because black cats are all ~*~goth~*~ and

furnaceface made me an awesome icon.

Juliet (

twintuitionist) was a maltese, because she is spoiled, pretty, and knows it.

Romeo (

withoutverona)was a shrew for reasons that I swear must have been more complex than Shakespeare having written a play with them in the title, but they escape me now. If I had a do-over, he'd be a golden retriever.

Tara (

life_inshadow) was a guinea pig because ... I don't remember. I think I just found a cute icon.

Tyler (

tyler_back) was a goat for reasons that I *think* had to do with a joke with Alec (the X5-494 one) back when they were roommates, though I can't remember the details. Also because goats are kind of obnoxious.

Tyrion (

halfman_lion) would be a miniature lion -- because der, Lannister.

And I have no idea what Quinn (

chief_cheerio) would be. I kind of want to say a unicorn because she is just that special.

I have never turned any of my characters into an animal. Clearly this needs to change at some point.

harrydresden needs to be a dog because it would freak him out and his faerie godmother would laugh herself sick about it (she wants to turn him into one of her hounds. For his own good.).

she_sheds I feel like should have been a howler monkey or something equally screechy. Or a longhaired cat.

Not sure about

wannabelawyer or Stark. Suggestions welcome.

Dropped characters! Woo!

nadiathesaint didn't actually turn into a degu, it was just a plot by

sneerkite to hide the fact that she'd found out his plot and he stuck her at the bottom of a giant hole in the preserve.

No, I don't recall what I was smoking at the time.

She did turn into a gremlin once during a basketball game. She dropped the spirit stick.

I don't think any of my other droppees turned into anything fuzzy or scaly, but I strongly considered turning

scruffnfeathers into a dodo. Because they're old and outdated and feathered and ridiculous, and it amuses me to think that dodos took themselves too seriously.

I might have some kind of crazy bird obsession. I mean, this boy here has been a parakeet (as seen in the icon) at least a few times, though I've been thinking of turning him into something a little more dignified in the future. He's kind of growing into it, you know?

Then there's

raspberryturk, who has been everything from a little red chicobo to a full-grown black chocobo. If I was going to turn him into something that was actually real, I probably would have gone for a weasel, but giving him a pet ferret worked out just as well.

And

importantman, who totally rocked the baby chicken. With a mask.

puppy_fair's was kind of an obvious choice, and he was two different kinds of puppy BECAUSE I SAID SO. Weetiny rottweiller and a berner sennen, because the first was the perfect mix of adorable and potentially dangerous, and the second one had his hair.

Jono still hasn't had an animal transformation! Though, back in his

furnaceface days, I did kind of fancy turning him into a black snake with a red belly for kind of obvious reasons. Now... I have no clue. He's a big blue solitary grouch of a cuddly teddy bear who has carp lips and an awesome vocal range. I want to turn him into everything from a silver koi to a bluejay to a baby bear at this point, and he resists. He resists them all. Jerkface.

Edited 2011-12-19 19:13 (UTC)

Jono should be a panda! Cuddly and big and solitary and quiet unless he vocalizes!

Leda has turned into a cat twice.

Let's see, Robin turned into ~~Freddy Highmore~~ a human once. I'd thought to maybe do that to him again for prom, but those plans fell through.

Long long ago, when he was just a newb, Billy turned into a bearded dragon for a week.

Bruce would of course be a bat. But while that's necessary, it's also way too on the nose, especially given that he's years away from becoming The Bat, so that will never happen. If I had to animal him up despite that, I'd go with a Doberman. He IS Ace the Bat-hound.

Dave would be a moose. Yes, moose are large while Dave is small. But if you tell me to think of a Canadian animal, moose will always be my first answer. But moose also appear in America, so he could claim that he's an Alaskan moose or something. You know. If moose could talk. And understood national and state boundaries.

Zayne would be a Capuchin monkey, because that's what I made him when I had to transform him for his graduation and I'm not looking for new animal icons. I don't remember why I went with a monkey. Probably just because monkeys are awesome.

Karla is an Arcerian kitten, which is pretty much a fancy white tiger. Arcerians are a race of animals in the books and they can be either Blood or landen. And the idea of Karla as a big, pouncy kitten amuses me. Also, I can so see this happening with Kaelas if she ever turns into a kitten when she's home. You just know she is grumbling about this undignified treatment.
