Receiving a career award this Friday (for real!) and imagining getting onstage only to discover a pair of ghost hands waiting with a different kind of award: “#1 TF Victim.” (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) #TFEveryday

TF Sketch: Professor Scritch is nearing the completion of his transformation into a donkey. His academic attire is shredded, and he wobbles precariously, falling forward, with his front hooves about to touch the ground for the first time, sealing his fate. An asinine muzzle pushes out from his face, his pointed, now donkey ears rise to the top of his head, and a mane runs down the back of his neck. His glasses cling improbably to his face. A large tail bursts from the back of his pants. Two blue ghost hands affix a ribbon around his neck, with a medal attached that reads “#1 TF VICTIM.”

Posting my first attempt at TF art that I’m truly proud of! I think I’ve come a long way, and I’m so grateful to @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social for being such an amazing instructor! #TFEveryday 🫎

TF Art: A blond-haired man with a goatee is nearing the completion of his transformation into a moose. One antler is fully grown, while the other is just beginning to emerge from the side of his head. He stares in shock at his hand as it completes its transformation into a hoof. His body is largely covered in fur, except for one arm, a patch of skin on his chest, and his muzzle, which is beginning to push forward. His red shirt is torn to shreds around his neck.

Entering an unknown cave was a baaaad idea. The gods saved me from the Cyclops, but apparently decided I’d be safer as part of his flock! (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) #TFEveryday #TheOdyssey

TF Sketch: Professor Scritch is being held in the palm of the Cyclops’s massive hand as he transforms into a sheep. The Cyclops’s thumb pins him down by the shoulder, and the pinned arm is almost fully transformed, ending in a sheep’s hoof, while his other hand is well on its way. Soft, fluffy wool pokes out between his shorts and T-shirt and spreads down his legs and arms and up his neck. His face has begun to push out into a short muzzle, his ears have grown pointier, and fur is beginning to spread up his cheeks. A woolly tail pokes out behind him, and his feet are in different stages of transforming into hooves, with one complete and the other well on its way. He has a worried look on his face and is surrounded by blue sparkles as he changes.

Had an amazing farm sanctuary trip with my fellow TF fanatics @rustle-woof.bsky.social and @frissonfox.bsky.social! And I love my husband, @siegferret.bsky.social, so much for joining, perhaps a bit reluctantly. Don’t worry, hun, you’ll get used to it!(🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) #TFEveryday

TF Art: Two couples are nearing the end of their transformations into animals: one couple is turning into a sheep and a goat, while the other is turning into a donkey and a horse. The men becoming the sheep, donkey, and horse look ecstatic, while the man turning into the goat wears an expression of worry and concern as he looks up and holds his newly formed horn with a hand that is becoming a hoof. However, the sheep, his partner, gently holds the goat’s still-human hand with his own, comforting him through the change and looking at him lovingly. The donkey and horse are gazing at each other with affection, their hooves touching as they struggle to remain on two feet. The donkey and horse have largely burst out of their clothes, while the goat and sheep are shrinking out of theirs. Above them, a sign reads, “Hornbuckle's Animal Sanctuary: Welcome to Your Forever Home.”

These IMAX 4D experiences are getting a little ridiculous! (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) #TFEveryday #TheOdyssey

TF Sketch: Professor Scritch is transforming into the Trojan Horse, the massive wooden horse from The Odyssey. Only a few tatters of his stretched-out shirt remain around his neck. His face is still somewhat human and covered in skin, though his muzzle is beginning to extend, and he looks back in surprise at his massive wooden body. Remnants of one hand and one foot remain as they complete their transformation into wooden hooves. His glasses, tiny in comparison to the rest of his body, have slipped off and are falling to the ground.

They say the Sirens’ song draws men to the sea. Unfortunately for me, Odysseus’s trick didn’t work. One way or another, they’ll make sure you end up in the water. Beware! 🦭 (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) #TFTuesday #TheOdyssey

TF Sketch: Professor Scritch, wearing a bathing suit, is tied to a ship’s mast like Odysseus in The Odyssey. Notes depict the Sirens’ song going in one ear and out the other as his eyes roll back and he transforms into a sea lion. His hands and feet are becoming flippers, his muzzle has pushed forward, and the skin on his face and limbs is shiny compared with his torso, which still looks human.

TF Sketch: Professor Scritch, dressed in jeans and a T-shirt, leans forward as he transforms into a pig. Two ghostly hands pull his piggy muzzle outward and push his nose upward into a snout while he looks on in shock, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. His hands are midway through becoming trotters, and a curly pig tail pokes out from behind him. His ears are already large and triangular, clearly more pig than human at this point.

Rate My Professor: Turning in a subpar homework assignment? No worries. Toss a tennis ball, and Prof. Scritch is more likely to eat it than grade it. 10/10. Highly recommend! 🎾📄🐶 (🎨 by AmethystBeetle on FA) #TFEveryday

A man mid-transformation into a beagle, with tan and white fur covering one side of his face. His nose is half black, shifting into a dog’s nose, and his muzzle is pushing out. He holds a green tennis ball in his mouth, tongue hanging out. One eye remains human and blue, while the other has turned brown like a dog's. Large brown floppy beagle ears extend from his head. He wears an academic outfit: a white dress shirt, red tie, and brown blazer.

After visiting a farm sanctuary and seeing the pigs, I might have gotten a little too jealous of their carefree, pampered lives. Now I’ve gone whole hog into sabbatical mode, maybe even permanently! 👨‍🏫➡️🐷 (🎨 by @mossrats.bsky.social) #TFEveryday

A transformation sequence depicting a professor turning into a pig. It begins on the left, where he sits in his office in academic attire, surrounded by stacked books and seated in a comfortable chair. He stares at his hand in shock and surprise as it begins to change into a pig’s hoof. Next, two headshots show his ears elongating and his nose pushing forward as he begins to fall forward, his clothes shredded by the transformation. In a reality-warping transition, he tumbles out of the chair and lands in a sunny, grassy field, now a full, contented pig, with no sign he was ever human. A rainbow arcs across the sky above him.

Somewhere between the bell ringing and my tail giving its first happy wag, my human thoughts began slipping away one by one. Deadlines became belly rubs, lectures became walkies, and my final worry was replaced by a more urgent question: Who has my next treat? (🎨 by @crayawn.bsky.social) #TFEveryday

TF Comic: A comic depicting Professor Scritch transforming into a beagle during a lecture. The PowerPoint slide in the background illustrates the concept of classical conditioning. Professor Scritch holds a bell in one hand and a bone-shaped dog treat in the other as he says, “Pavlov’s dog experiment used the ringing of a bell, much like this one! Allow me to demonstrate!” When he rings the bell, his ears grow long, floppy, and covered in fur, his nose turns black, and his face pushes outward into a muzzle. Several inset images show him staring at his hands as they become paws, a tail poking out of the back of his pants as he shrinks out of his clothes, and his eyes rolling back as he loses intelligence, with “-INT” appearing above his head. On the right, he is shown as a beagle in both body and mind, with the dog treat hanging from his mouth. The only indication that he was ever anything other than a dog is the red tie still hanging loosely around his neck.

I should’ve been suspicious of a keynote invitation from an unknown conference in Australia, especially when it only covered one-way travel... (🎨 by @ralphsei.bsky.social) #TFEveryday 👨‍🏫➡️🦘

TF Art: Professor Scritch lies on his side in the middle of a vast grassland surrounded by mountains, nearing the completion of his unexpected transformation into a kangaroo. He is still wearing his vest, tie, and button-down shirt, but the transformation of his legs and the growth of his massive tail have forced him to remove his pants. He is fully roo from the chest down, and his shirt and vest have ridden up over his large kangaroo belly. His nose has broadened and pushed outward into a muzzle, though it has yet to grow fur. His long kangaroo ears rise above his head as the spreading fur is just about to reach their tips. He holds one enormous roo leg in the air, staring at the massive paw in disbelief. Improbably, his glasses still balance on his newly formed muzzle.

Wait... all those “Only YOU can prevent forest fires” ads were directed at me this whole time?!?! (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) 🐻🔥 #TFEveryday

TF Sketch: Professor Scritch is concluding his transformation into Smokey Bear after picking up a fire shovel. He stares in shock and disbelief at the hand that has become a paw as it grips the shovel. His shirt has torn away completely, and his pants are ripped off below the knees. A large bear belly spills over the waistband, while his tie lies draped across his broad chest. His hair, goatee, and glasses are just about the only remaining hints of who he once was, as Smokey’s features swallow his own. Above him, a hat with the word “Smokey” written across it drops into place, about to land on his head and lock in the transformation.

Oh, to be taking a warm, relaxing bubble bath while ghost hands scrub not just the dirt, but your very humanity away... (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) #TFEveryday 🐶🛁

TF Sketch: A view from above of Professor Scritch in a bathtub, covered in soap suds, as he turns into an anthropomorphic beagle. He holds his puppy-like paws up in front of him, out of the water. One foot is being massaged into a paw by a set of ghost hands, while another ghost hand pulls his ear into a floppy beagle ear. He has a broad smile on his face, which now features a muzzle and dog nose. Another ghost hand holds a bottle labeled “Dog Shampoo.” A tail peeking above the surface of the water wags against the side of the bathtub, with the words “THWAP THWAP THWAP” indicating the sound.

Now that the pig TF scene in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is confirmed, I can’t stop thinking about him bringing the same attention to detail he used to create a scientifically accurate black hole in Interstellar to Odysseus’s men being slowly, meticulously stripped of their humanity. #TFEveryday
