OOPs now has a Russian translation which updates shortly after the English pages are posted!
Now also in French:
And Ukranian:
It’ll be quite hilarious if Kalgkur gets this version of the primer, editor’s notes and all.
… also why is the crotch the only location without an x?
Because Ran is actually rather respectful.
The crotch might be so obviously personal that even an “X” there is inappropriate. I think it would be easier to just say “Officer Akoll doesn’t like being touched.”
One edit humorously suggested, otherwise to be classified under the highest available secrecy.
The diagram labeled “Places Officer Akoll enjoys being touched” should have an asterisk *
* If the ‘toucher’ is Elim, remove many x’s
He gets incredibly consistent colour on his drawings, no variation in ink, chalk, or wax thickness.
He’s a true master of the arts!
I always loved transformation trope. I also loved cute creatures. Ever since Power Rangers Ninja Storm, I knew I like this trope. I love it for multitude of reasons. But since certain moment, I always explained how I am interested in psychological and sociological changes to the person transformed. Not just the fact that they are now different species (and maybe sex as well). How would they react to that. Would they be okay with it or would they get a panic attack. This changes a lot. And not just about psychology, but physiology as well. If you become a species with worse sight or different type of sight, this would change everything. Goats, wolves and humans don’t have the same kind of vision. And that all interested me. And then I found a yinglet fanart somewhere and found about this comic. And this is exactly what I love in transformations. Kass became a different species and everything in his world changes. Everything. It’s not just he is a yinglet now. Everything he knew is a lie now. He works differently. His body works differently. And people see him or her differently. That’s the best part of transformation trope. This comic nailed it perfectly.
According to the schematic, headpats are fine.
beep!
A yinglet with an existential crisis and a baxxid with something much similar working together. What could possibly go wrong?
Ah yes but both with an extremely strong sense of duty! I foresee great things
TOGETHER, THEY FIGHT CRIME!
It’s fun to see a draft version of something written by Ran. As I was reading, I kept wanting to make notes like a teacher grading a paper, but I’m resisting the urge, if only because Ran knows it needs more editing! I hope he gets feedback from Kass before he’s finished, but he should probably get to version 6 or 7 before he does. 🙂
