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.

Getting the ol' Circe treatment courtesy of @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social! 👨‍🏫➡️🐷 #TFEveryday #TheOdyssey

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.

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.

Sometimes I can be a little silly, as a treat.

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.

Professor Scritch@professorscritch· Jul 9

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.

Crank the Dog-Brain Meter to 11 and snap the knob clean off. (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) #TFTuesday

TF sketch: Professor Scritch, post-transformation into a beagle, tilts his head to the side in confusion, with a question mark above his head and his eyes slightly crossed, wagging his tail. His clothes lie in a pile beneath him, and his glasses rest on the floor. The only scrap of clothing he still wears is a tie around his canine neck. Two ghost hands hold a device with a knob and a gauge depicting how dog-brained he is at the moment; here, the needle points all the way to fully dog-brained.

Professor Scritch@professorscritch· Jun 27

Watching the trailer for Forgotten Island made me realize I need to start incorporating a "dog-brained" meter into more of my commissioned art. #TFEveryday

A screen shot from the Forgotten Island trailer depicts a gauge in the weredog character's head showing how dog-brained he is at the moment, and in this moment the needle is pointed towards fully dog-brained.

As I inflated the pool toy, unbeknownst to me, every breath made me lighter, rounder, and squeakier. As I fell backward, my thoughts going pleasantly hollow, it dawned on me too late: I was getting myself ready for the pool as one of its bouncy residents. (🎨 by @doggodraws.bsky.social) #TFEveryday

TF Art: Professor Scritch is at a pool, blowing up a purple hippo pool toy. On the left, he has already transformed from the waist down into the same style of inflatable pool toy he is trying to inflate. The dialogue reads, “Weird. How is it still not inflating? Should I just get a pump?” and below that, “I’m starting to get light-headed...” On the right, he has fallen over onto his backside, with the purple hippo pool-toy transformation now reaching just below his eyes. He holds his inflatable pool-toy hands up to his head as the dialogue reads, “W-Wa-SQUEAK!” His belly is inflated big and round, with a nozzle where his belly button should be. A large purple muzzle has pushed out from his face, and his ears have turned into purple latex, rounded hippo-like ears that have moved to the top of his head.

In the dark woods, I found what was left of my friend: Slate, an obedient stone golem bound to Wizard Aster. And soon... I’ll be Thorn, a wolf-creature made of living wood, Aster’s will erasing my own. (🎨 by @doggodraws.bsky.social, w/ @signatelli.bsky.social & @squeakmouse.bsky.social) #TFEveryday

TF Art: In a dark forest, a mouse wizard in a purple robe covered with stars and a matching wizard hat waves a magic wand at Professor Scritch, who is restrained by a massive, muscular stone golem with wings, horns, and patches of moss growing across its body. Professor Scritch stares in horror at what used to be his hand as he transforms into a wolf creature made of living wood. His body grows more muscular, bursting out of his clothes as the transformation overtakes him. He holds a massive wooden paw up to his face, staring at it in terror as his wooden muzzle pushes outward, one eye turns golden, and leaves begin sprouting from his hair.

When you step into a fairy ring as a joke, only to realize too late that it’s an actual TF trigger. As your body changes and shrinks, the path that led you here becomes overgrown and disappears, and your vacation destination becomes your new permanent home. (🎨 by @ralphsei.bsky.social) #TFEveryday

TF Art: A four-stage transformation sequence in a forest clearing shows a blond man in glasses stepping into a fairy circle and turning into a raccoon. He begins in a t-shirt, shorts, and hiking boots, then gains pointed ears, fur, clawed feet, and a striped tail. Next he has fallen on his knees, about to be on all fours, mostly raccoon-shaped but still wearing his shirt. His hands have shrunken down, soon to be paws, and the center of his face still remains without fur. Finally, he is fully raccoon, with no hint of humanity left in his animalistic eyes, standing beside the discarded red shirt.

Me and the hubby decided to try a new Italian restaurant in town for my birthday. The reviews promised romance and a life-changing experience. Turns out they weren’t kidding… (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) #TFTuesday 🐶🍝🐶

TF Art: Two former human men sit across from each other at a table, a plate of spaghetti and meatballs between them. They are largely post-transformation, one now resembling Tramp and the other Lady from Lady and the Tramp. They gaze into each other’s eyes, tails swishing, with a single strand of spaghetti held between their lips like the scene from the movie. The only real signs of their former humanity are the shirts they are shrinking out of and the glasses still perched on their canine muzzles.

What would it feel like to TF into something so odd that your mind could barely comprehend it? Thanks, @squeakmouse.bsky.social, for helping develop Thorn, a werewolf made of living wood, transformed by a wizard and left obedient and under his control. (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) #TFEveryday

TF Sketch: A sketch of Professor Scritch, post-TF, as a big, hulking werewolf on all fours, with massive front paws. On closer inspection, though, this wolf is made of living wood, with twigs growing from his back and leaves gathered around his neck. The only signs that he was once human are the glasses perched on his wooden muzzle and the tie still hanging around his neck.

Professor Scritch@professorscritch· Jun 10

An overly kind student evaluation once referred to me as the GOAT, and now here we are! Thanks to @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social for this exceptionally cute post-TF sketch based on a photo I took last year. #TFEveryday 🧑‍🏫➡️🐐

TF Sketch: Professor Scritch, largely post-TF into a goat, stands on a tree stump, stretching his body so his mouth can reach some leaves to nibble. The only indications of his former human self are the tie around his neck, his glasses, and his still-human eyes.

Grateful for my husband’s love and understanding after my decision to allow myself to be transformed into a donkey. Despite changes to my body and mind, the wedding ring fused into the keratin of my hoof will always remind me that I belong to him. (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) #TFEveryday

TF Sketch: Professor Scritch is depicted largely transformed into a donkey, with a few scraps of clothing still on him and his glasses still in place. His husband stands in front of him, gently holding one of his front hooves in both hands and looking into his eyes with love and acceptance. A gold wedding band is fused into the keratin of Professor Scritch’s hoof, and his husband wears the matching gold band on his hand.

Of course, the ultimate birthday present would be ending up there myself! (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social, coloring by me). 🎁🐮🎉 #TFTuesday

TF Pic: Professor Stitch, largely post-TF into a cow, with scraps of clothing still clinging to his massive bovine arm and leg and his glasses balanced precariously on his blunt muzzle. He sits in a grassy field with a birthday hat on his head and a party blower in his mouth, with a stack of presents beside him.

"Attention riders: 6 trains are running with delays between 125th Street and Grand Central because of unexpected permanent rat transformations. Please allow extra travel time." (🎨 by @ralphsei.bsky.social) #TFEveryday 🚋🐀

TF Art: The setting is a subway car with yellow and orange plastic seats. The sign on the car shows a green circle with the number 6, along with “Pelham Bay Park, Bronx” and “Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan.” Professor Scritch, wearing his typical academic clothing, has fallen to his knees while transforming into a rat. He clings to a metal pole, trying to keep himself from dropping onto all fours as the subway car fills with rats. A long pink rat tail extends behind him, his ears are large and round, and a furless muzzle pushes out from his face. Gray fur creeps up from his neck to his cheeks. His clothes are baggy as he shrinks down and he looks warily at a rat climbing up his back.

Professor Scritch@professorscritch· May 24

What do you mean I’m a mouse now and I STILL need glasses? Hope my vision plan covers tiny frames... (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) #TFEveryday 👓🐭

TF sketch: Professor Scritch is now largely post-TF, reduced to a tiny mouse. His glasses lie on the floor on their side. Scritch stands with one little paw pressed against the lens, peering through it like a window. The speech bubble reads, “SQUEAK!”

Professor Scritch@professorscritch· May 21

The TF-fan-to-strength-training pipeline is real! Thanks, @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social, for this incredible motivational sketch! Now I’m craving a banana protein smoothie. 🍌🦍 #TFEveryday

TF Sketch: Professor Scritch, wearing gym clothes, performs a pull-up. His right arm has largely transformed into that of a large, muscular gorilla, with fur beginning to spread across his chest. That side of his chest and stomach is noticeably more muscular, while his left leg has also largely transformed into that of a massive gorilla, the limb beginning to tear through his shorts. His face shows an effortful grimace, mouth open, sharp animal teeth exposed. His nose is broader and flatter, and a short muzzle is beginning to form.

Professor Scritch@professorscritch· May 14

On one of my regular pilgrimages to Balto’s statue in Central Park, I was shocked to find him gone. I climbed up to investigate, and as my limbs stiffened, I realized my mistake. Apparently, it was my turn to replace him. For how long? Who knows? (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) #TFEveryday

TF Sketch: Professor Scritch stands on all fours atop a large rock with a plaque reading “BALTO” attached to it. He is nearly finished transforming into the famous Balto statue in Central Park. His furry body has a metallic sheen, and his clothes have mostly ripped away. Nearly everything below his neck has transformed into the statue of the famous dog, but one remaining human hand reaches up to touch his emerging metal snout. Patches of human skin and hair still remain on his head, and his glasses balance precariously on his newly formed muzzle.

Professor Scritch@professorscritch· May 14

Should’ve read this semester’s contract more carefully. During finals, this university turns one professor into an emotional support dog to reduce student stress. They’re getting better at turning them back, though. They’ve now reached a 50% success rate! (🎨 by @hybridkane.bsky.social) #TFEveryday

TF Sequence, 3 Parts: Professor Scritch, dressed in academic attire, holds a pointer in front of a blackboard while blue energy surrounds his head and butt. One of his ears is darkening with brown fur, and a tail has appeared behind him. In part two, he begins shrinking out of his clothes, with one leg slipping free of his pants to reveal his toe beans. His slipping pants also expose pink boxers, spreading fur, and a lengthening tail. He stares in concern at his hand as it rapidly becomes a paw, and two large floppy ears now hang from the sides of his head. The blue energy around him intensifies, accelerating his transformation into a dog. In the third stage, he is fully a beagle, his mouth open and tongue lolling out. His shirt, tie, vest, and jacket still barely cling to his body. Remarkably, his glasses remain balanced on his muzzle. A red blush shows through the white fur on his cheeks, emphasizing his embarrassment at undergoing such a public transformation into a dog.

Here are the closeup versions. The husband makes such a cute little kobold, love him so much! #TFEveryday

Professor Scritch@professorscritch· May 12

My husband offered to teach me how to play D&D, and it turns out I might have a natural talent for it. So much so that my first game ended up being his last! (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) #TFTuesday #DungeonsAndDragons

TF Sketch: Two former humans stand on either side of a table in the middle of an ongoing D&D game, scattered with dice, character sheets, and game materials. The one on the left looks worried and frightened as he transforms into a kobold, shrinking out of his clothes and using his new, smaller kobold talons to keep his pants from slipping down. On the right, the other man shreds his clothes as his body expands into that of a massive dragon, reveling in his transformation and newfound power. Blue energy swirls around him, and the dragon shouts, “Natural 20!”

Professor Scritch@professorscritch· May 7

Just before my human intelligence faded for good, I managed to read aloud a few words from the spellbook my husband used to turn me into a gnoll. Lucky for him, or perhaps not, he kept his human mind and can fully appreciate his new role as my pet! (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) #TFEveryday
