Look That Damn "Dog", I read your name, I can see the signs. This is how it all begins. I could point out that it has an interesting way of making its combat system interact with the game world, a lot of C&C and branching choices, rewards exploration, etc. But you'll be fixated on the fact that it has cutesy Homestuck-like graphics and appeals to tumblr furries. You'll start spinning your wheels about why everything I listed is in fact "bad RPG mechanics" and respond with some bullet point list telling me why my daddy made a mistake, because entertaining the idea that you and tumblr furries both agree about anything at all goes against the survival instinct of what limited testosterone you had left when you made the enlightened act of registering an account on this site.
But deep inside your Asperger's syndrome will tingle (and don't tell me you don't have Asperger's, it rubbed off on you the moment you entered this site) and you'll slowly but surely feel a need to question the narrative, just as your mother questioned your birth. That's how it all begins. First you might play Undertale. Then you might even like, or not dislike it. But it will leave an impression. You see, one lonely night you'll type "
www.tumblr.com" into your browser window, maybe just take a peek. Of course, you'll immediately shut down your computer horrified by your actions. But the lingering doubts will remain. And every night you'll wake up, entering
www.tumblr.com for just a little longer. You'll start reading blogs, maybe you find something you associate with. Soon enough you'll be writing your own tumblog. It will start innocently enough, arguing with the tumblr feminists and praising communism, like your uncle taught you when he took you into that closet. Then you'll expand your operation and start posting cat pictures. And dog pictures. And wolf pictures, oh look they are so cute.
You'll get a lot of likes (or "reblogs" as they are called). Your self esteem will soar for the first time since the boy you liked got a loogie on your desk back in 7th grade. You'll start getting into it, reblogging other people's stuff, "liking" their social justice poetry, and so on. Then the fanart phase starts. You start innocently at first, "oh hey guys just practicing my art here haha," and people will love it. Your following will grow. You'll start getting feedback and reblogs. And you'll notice that your fanart that garners the most positive feedback is the type that exhibits a slightly anthropomorphic style like kittens in coats or like a big lizard breathing fire. And you'll change your style to suit. Soon enough your cats will have glasses and two feet and your lizards will have opposable thumbs. You'll start shipping them together and researching anatomy, such as how do lizard dicks look like. That's when the transformation will be complete.
But that won't even be your final form, That Damn Dog. You'll remember your roots. You'll come back here and try and convert all your buddies. We have like 19 trannies here, did you know that, That Damn Dog? This is how they come to be. This is what's going to become of you. Would you like that? I didn't think so. But it's gonna happen. Don't try to stop it. I already did. I was too late. We were all too late.
Hopw roewur ne, That Damn Dog, may furry Jesus bless your soul.
