BODY HORROR EVENT

[rivalkidneypunch]

Dear Smashies: your friendly neighbourhood Snap here to let you know about a fun little event that's in the works:

Transformation Week

aka

Body Horror: The Event

aka

Stop Doing Mating Dances And Marking Your Territory WE JUST SHAMPOOED THAT RUG

aka

everyone turning into animal chimera abominations for fun and profit (fun and profit not included)


Here's what's going down: in the near future, Lyra will be announcing a charity bake sale as a sort of goodwill gesture between humans and nonhumans. What she doesn't know, however, is that Bowser is going to be slipping some Magikoopa dandruff or something into the flour. (Eeeewww.) Anyone who consumes these tainted baked goods or accidentally inhales too much flour during the baking process or whatever will find themselves slowly transforming into something that's very much not their species at all. What they turn into and how quickly they turn into it is entirely up to you, of course, and participation is super optional. If you want full-on body horror with a slow mutation from man to Weedle, go for it. If that squicks the heck out of you, feel free to play a less ick version.

Want your human to start sprouting feathers while their arm bones painfully rearrange themselves into wings? Go for it! Want your Jigglypuff to gradually grow four rows of teeth as they begin to morph into a shark-lanturnfish-lamprey? Sure, why not? Want to have fun with primal instincts, territoriality, and a thirst for prey taking over? Run wild. Want your grumpy big bad to deal with the realization they are turning into a fluffy baby duckling? YES.

Officially, the event will be starting on June 28 and running for roughly a week, but Jeff and our best buddy Eggman might have a thing or two up their sleeve, so there's also the possibility that things could last even longer if you want to drag out the transformation process.

In the meantime, feel free to use this post for questions and general plotting purposes. If you're having trouble deciding what you'd like your character to be morphing into, there are plenty of real world/mythological creatures out there, as well as lots of Smash canons to use!

QUESTIONS

[rivalkidneypunch]

Lay 'em on me, friends.

[obfuskate]

so if, say

shadow could become an aggressive werehog maybe

would that be

possible at all

[other_i]

(I just wanted to tell you how happy I am that you linked to Pikmin enemies and here are more Pikmin enemies from the Pikmin wiki yeee~)

[tacohat]

BOTH OF MY CHARACTERS HAVE ANIMAL NAMES... SO I GUESS THEY'RE TURNING INTO THOSE ANIMALS... I am too lazy for creativity. ¯\(°_o)/¯

Ocelot - an ocelot
Haytham - an eagle (his name is Arabic for "eagle")

[mohawk_tomahawk]

dad quit pecking at my face

dad

dad

herp derp

[thewrightidea]

ooh ooh ooh. so can I have one of my characters turn into this




carbon stahp. your obsession is showing.

[rivalkidneypunch]

I AM willing to permit this (snap thats not funny)

[voltecpower]

Pulse -> Dodongo.



I wouldn't mind shutting all his powers off for the duration, but would he still be able to speak, since Dimitri from Ages/Seasons could?

[raw_angel_power]

I'm guessing that's up to you!

Additional comment: OH MY GOD PULSE THE DODONGO I love it.

[obfuskate]

shadow the hedgehog is going to become dog



hedgedog

he will become mighty aggressive and basically loopy, defensive, and all-around unstable to begin with. he'll calm down a little later on, around the second half of the event, reducing him to a confused and surprisingly docile puppy hedgedog state.

sO WHO WANTS TO EITHER,
1. BE MAULED BY SHADOW,
2. GIVE HIM TUMMY RUBS AND MAKE HIS TAIL THUMP, OR,
3. BOTH 1 AND 2?

[voltecpower]

Unstable Werehog vs. Giant Pulselizard.

KIDNAPPING ALL THE PRINCESSES

[ihateplumbers]

Actually just Peach.

Bowser is going to kidnap Peach and leave an adorable kitten in her room so that people think she turned into an adorable kitten.

He is going to take her to a randomly appearing Ghost House that randomly appeared on campus (Ghost carpenters????) to be his one and only beautiful ladybride.

If I can get Katie to sign on, Doopliss will be around to dick with anyone who shows up in the Ghost House.

Surely, eventually, someone will figure out that Peach is not actually a kitten and think "I bet she's in that ghost house with Bowser" and try to go rescue her. It can be a punch Bowser rescue mission, and who doesn't love that?

[mohawk_tomahawk]

k i d n a p p i n g

THIS IS THE REASON WHY I WANTED THIS WEEK SO BAD

[maxizard]

Everyone's favorite Max will be back.

Let's all have a fun time with shirtless, angry, breathes fire Max.

[rivalappeared]

GREEN WILL ALSO BE 'ZARD. READY 4 ROUND TWO, FARTHOLSTER????

I AM FAR MORE EXCITED FOR THIS THAN IS REASONABLE

[dontgetcarter]

Carter will be turning into one of these lovely creatures, because obviously, her life was not yet terrible enough.

[icequeen_aran]

For various reasons I think I'm going to have Samus, Seth, and Rick not undergo any transformation--mostly because I think they'll be more fun bouncing them off the afflicted types.

Samus is OPEN TO ANYTHING. Out of anyone I'd be most willing to body horror her into something I just have no idea what. She's been a Charizard before. She's been a Cucco before. She's been through some body horror crap in her own canon before. Either way I want Stupid Mating Dances: the Sequel please let's make it happen.

Seth will probably be on the downlo but silently gloating because dis his jam. Or maybe he'll play around in his Persian form because LOOK HE CAN AND NO ONE WOULD KNOW ANY BETTER. Togami could even be a Persian too...

Rick will be hanging around his management rails or maybe disengaging from them because he's daring like that. He's not a food please don't eat him. (Please do).

[raced_god]

caw

[richasshole]

I have Pokemon ideas. Placeholder

[rivalappeared]

I want to save my eeveelution idea for later, but I still might use it for Jin depending on what Naoya is doing. I have plans for green and togami i think but other than that, i am open. i don't think dachora and kyogre are gonna participate, if anyone has a need for a cammy, I'd be glad to toss her in. If not she will sideline this.

[kumagypsy]

I GOT IDEAS

Kumatora = goast
Garrett = burd
Flint = dargo

FLURRIE and SKULL KID meanwhile will be unaffected, and Skull Kid will be doing what he does best. I may not look like it but I am really excited for this ehhehehehe

[youmayhavewon]

IDEAS YOU SAY. I'm still waffling but obviously Pokemon!Proton is an idea. Something scaley or with a hard shell, sharp things and a bad attitude like Kabutops or Scyther are my first choices.

But that might be taking Proton's character too seriously so there's the Slowpoke option. AH YES SWEET KARMA....

(I'll make a decision eventually)

Fashionably Late

[loverofinnocence]

Okay. After some thought (and some talk), here's what I have going down thus far.

Caim's turning into a Pikmin, so he can be a follower instead of a leader for once.
Soryk's going to spend the week as a peacock. Completely suited for him.

Ziio and Snake will remain unaffected by the upcoming shenanigans.

Eirika, Voile, and Nabooru are pretty much undecided and up for grabs when and if people should need [want] them.

Carbon's fun times with people

[thewrightidea]

Oh yeah I forgot to actually post to this thing instead of throwing up dumb images

Byrne will most likely turn into a mole thing since that was one of his concept designs.

Phoenix will turn into I have no effing idea.

Chell will probably turn into an insect of some sort.

None of these art set in stone, though, so if you have any better ideas, please hit me up.

[butterbelieveamanspromise]

THERE'S ROOM FOR ONLY ONE GIANT-ASS MOLE ON THESE GROUNDS...

[trustycrowbar]

Alright finally putting up a plot post for this

Gordon may not change at all because the sudden saturation of horrible monsters will be REALLY GOOD FOR HIS MENTAL HEALTH DONT'CHA KNOW.

Lucca may be a fire elemental or a Lavos' spawn or sommat I dunno I NEED HELP DECIDING GUYS.

[lovesclearlakes]

Hey Chiyo's new roomie. If she suddenly wakes up to a fiery inferno, don't hold it against her for suddenly spraying water on the transformed Lucca.

Just saying. |D

[forgetbeam]

I'm late so nobody's gonna see this but FIREWORKS THING... I put a post up July 2/3 every year and if the event overlaps that, should I put it off until afterwards? Do people want to have skittish pained body horror animal types freaking out at loud noises? Does anyone care either way?




Besides that I don't have any plans for either of my dudes for the event.

[voltecpower]

Not only a skittish pained body horror animal type easily freaked out by loud noises, who would have to stay outside anyway since he can't fit in his dorm room anymore, but also a major potential fire hazard who's lost a good bit of his common sense? What could possibly go wrong? XD

[butterbelieveamanspromise]

So uh.



There's really nothing more perfect than Mondo Mole. So I'm DOIN IT. I'm making mole people happen.

[worldrestored]

So suddenly there's a million more monsters and Pokemon around and Naoki is kinda wondering if he's stuck in the vortex world again (no). But most importantly, this is a post to see if anyone would be interested into either:

1) Fighting against him (He likes fighting a lot due to his demon blood half)
2) Joining his team of jolly demons because he's gonna try to contact all of them (He will try. Wither he manages to do this is up to you or if it leads to #1)

Contacting is basically the game's talk for "bribe/trick demon into joining you". Naoki currently things all non earth animals are demons so as you can see this can in no way backfire or cause trouble.

[makesitcool]

AS FOR MY OTHER DUDES:

☆ Pit will be going Turbo Teen and morph into Pit Putt.

☆ Rhys will turn into an Ampharos like last animal week. LOOK, he was ADORABLE. I need him again.

☆ Cress will be turning into Tangrowth. I have nothing to apologize for. His hair will start growing like crazy.

[voltecpower]

There will likely be one large mutant lizard thing coming to bang on AmphaRhys's office door to inquire about why he is mutating into a large lizard.

Destruction of the cafeteria

[silentchamp]

Red won't be turning into anything until close to the end of the week, when he gets challenged by Green as a Charizard and Green's Charizard, Char. Things are going to be looking pretty pathetic at first, until Red reveals his trap card of knowing too much about Pokemon.

Friggin' Tyranitar, you guys.

So after wrecking their crap up (and possibly helping to accidentally wreck Sasha's, Pixle lemme know Sasha plans), Red is going to leave the two overgrown birds after he gets this idea to go and cause a little mayhem.

Let's break some walls. Let's wreck-it Red.

The main damage is going to be done to cafeteria. You can all be enjoying your soups and sandwiches when suddenly a massive hole gets punched into the wall and then a Hyper Beam is aimed directly at the roof and brings it down.

Where about it goes, maybe it's more towards the kitchen, yadda yadda. Thing is, if you want your character caught in the place or nearly caught or such, please, feel free to use this as an excuse! Then again there are a thousand excuses this week, so you know.

Seth is going to be the champ who will take down the monster Red by kicking his leg, 4x fighting ow, but if maybe anyone does want to stalk Red after the mess he originally causes taking down Char and Green or the mess between that and the cafeteria, I am okay with this. Red is just basically going to be throwing out rock-based attacks like a douche and will be kicking up a sandstorm.


also I guess this means Red might get in trouble with the staff huh
