Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

Animorphs 'solved' this problem with time limits and basically mental conditioning.

Your brain transforms too, but somehow 'you' mostly remain intact.

But... if you're weak minded, the beast takes over, its instincts are too overwhelming, you lose yourself and become the beast.

How this would work with a ... gold bar?

Well the closest thing I can think of would be like a trilobyte, iirc their outer carapace was literally minerals, basically a rock.

But I might be wrong about that.
