is that Edna in the last panel? x3 love it o3o
Sonicspirit
*snerk!* "I neva look back, darling, it distracts from the now!" ^_^ No, that's not Edna, but her style influenced the design. I was kinda going for a beatnic-type fashion sense and big, round, eye-obscuring glasses, so Edna kinda dropped in there! Harmony's not as awesomely boistrous as Edna, though.
Army1
hehe x3 yea, but she just looks like her sister or something but just in appearance
x3 <3

A good job, interested if your own website or something like that.
Sonicspirit
Thank you very much! And yes I do! The website is here: http://sonicspirit.net/new_normal/index.php

Sonicspirit
Thanks so much!
shiningmoon
oh by the way das somepony need a hug

Skipping right on past the transformation, huh?
Interesting choice. Probably the right one since the prologue hinted that it was a protracted one and this way you can have flashbacks to the high-lights, but not what I expected.
I do like how our main managed to keep in touch with his/her friends and gone into hiding. Makes a lot of sense for such an nonthreatening new form, but I doubt the second bit is going to last one way or the other for dramatic reasons.
Crissa
Mage robes aren't crossdressing for unicorn-like creatures! ^-^
Mattias42
#Page 3.
...Wait, what? The skip was large enough that the changed are THAT public?
Didn't see it coming, I must admit, but does seem like it would nip a lot of drama and tension in the bud. So I'm quite curious just where this is going.
Army1
rofl the new page on the final panel killed me XD is getting funnier now o3o
Ealadubh
I wonder how Shine and Battu (from Red Equinox) would get along...
Mix
no tf here...
Army1
is in the previous chapter :o this is chapter 2 (you must watch it on chapter 1 if i'm right.) .
Mix
no bro... there is no tf...
Inali
I love the part proving that the alicorn is post TG, as for the alicorn's mom... it's a very real reaction, mine still does that
nekonomicon
Love this update. I'll probably say more on FA but I will say that your comic series is a wonderful series
nekonomicon
Must be extremely awkward giving an exam to a unicorn?.
sm64fan1234567890
About the you would've drowned part... duhduh duhduh duhduh duh duhduh (5 4 3 2 1) BUBBLE!
Army1
finally new page after years xD
Arthas972
Define ‘normal’ ;)
Shine: *Unamused Alicorn Face* I’m sure.
Army1
growth plates?_?
Arthas972
Same question :P
Mattias42
The lines on some bones, the femur in particular, where the bone grows longer from during adolescence.
It means he's not fully grown yet, and that type of excessive physical labor could cause permanent damage to his body.
Army1
i see but yet is quiet confusing x-x maybe if he putted different word, may i would understand a lil or so. (or just a different thing to make it smooth.lol >-<)
hiddeninholand
Oh no. He got vaccinated. Now he has autism
Sonicspirit
Yup, totally how it works.
Sniffswind
it's back! been wondering what had happened to this story
Sonicspirit
Heh, yeah! I'm happy to work on it again!
Arthas972
Wait, if he thinks he/she is contagious, where's the gasmask and hazmat suit?
Mattias42
Not exactly an ensemble the average person has in their closet...
Besides, I can see the concern. Sure, our protagonist lucked out, and got turned into a winged unicorn stallion, AND seems pretty happy with it over all.
But, well, not even on this transformation happy site, would that be the even the top ten pick for shapes to spend the rest of their personal eternity in?
So... yeah, can see the reason for being stand-off-ish. Especially with the wife-y being adamant on helping despite the risks.
Arthas972
None of which are said Alicorn's fault. Hardly fair to antagonize him like this. Then again, that's probably why he's grumpy about it but NOT kicking him out: it's not his fault.
Btw, i keep forgetting the Alicorn's name. Refresh my memory?
Oxymoronic_Gryphon
Huh. So he *does* have magic powers, beyond just being able to fly in that unaerodynamic body. Cool. (might have been confirmed in an earlier page, and I just forgot. I'm good at that) Now, did he say that line with his mouth, or to further the illusion that there's a humanoid body in there with a mouth at the top, does the cape voice say what he thinks in a certain way, and he accidentally thought that line in the 'cape say this' way?
Those two are gonna have nightmares tonight, that's for sure!
Arthas972
Grim Reaper: What do see, mortal?
Army1
The new panel is just good for Halloween xD (anyways is good xD)
Him: Any last words?
*the 2 guys runs away thinking he's the reaper....with guns* (lol)
Ealadubh
Well, that's Steel's apprehension explained in a nutshell too.
Cathrope
This is what those two said: https://youtu.be/G29han6R22c
Cathrope
The last panel of the new page is perfect!
Army1
those 2 guys are pretty Shaggy and Scooby xD
Cathrope
Yup.
Ealadubh
ZOINKS
Cathrope
When ever I read that Zoinks, I hear it in the orginal voice of Shaggy. Thanks for the memory Cassy Casem.
Sniffswind
HA that Abner joke is an obscure reference
Sonicspirit
Heh, yeah, but I couldn't resist!
Army1
the new page looks funny xD specially his face x3
Sonicspirit
He is shitting ALL the bricks!
Army1
New page is funny x3 and it smells of a joke x3 good one tough ♥
Sonicspirit
I'm glad you like it! Thank you!
Army1
yw^^
Erthshade
Define 'real' first...
Sonicspirit
And then we drop into a major philosophy discussion!
sargey
why is it gender change when he is not female
Sonicspirit
He's post-TF, and was an FtM transdude beforehand. I have a lot of story planned, and intend for multiple characters to transform through the course of the comic, but there's a lot to establish while getting there!
Army1
surely that hexagon is a trap. lol
Sonicspirit
AHHH, I have so many plot threads I'm setting up here! So, yes, kinda, but also totally not!
subject-c
He's really curious about what other people see with the cloak on.
Sonicspirit
^_^ He's so confused about how differently people react to him when he's wearing it, and he hasn't had a ton of opportunities to ask people why they're backing away in terror.
Transfurent
Oh my god, Lewis, you can't just ask people why they're a unicorn.
Sonicspirit
^_^ It is /very/ rude.
Army1
Q: why are you a unicorn?
A: because i watched too much MLP xD *badum tsss*
yup, its a good joke xD (btw, its good^^)
Stevep
Finally addresses the unicorn in the room.
Sonicspirit
I /knew/ that show was contagious!
BRB, gonna go marathon it.
Crissa
Finally! ^-^
Sonicspirit
^_^ I'm really excited people feel this way.
avatarjk137
AHHHH you bastard.
Sonicspirit
BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!
Cathrope
I'm at a lost about the chicken tender question
Army1
i did felt lost too xD
Sonicspirit
"Let's be SO CASUAL!"
fragmaster01
I see three friends that need to be TFed. For science.
Sonicspirit
^_^ We DO need more TFs in this comic.
fragmaster01
Better get on it! Those human smirks won't turn into muzzles on their own.
fragmaster01
"I just started transforming one day!"
*Nods, sips milkshake* Yes, very good, go on...
Sonicspirit
InDEED...
subject-c
Pink shirt needs to calm down
Sonicspirit
You're not wrong! But he's nervous and unsettled and his reasonable requests for answers keep getting put off and evaded, so he's hitting his limits on frustration!
Istanbul511
Is it my imagination, or does everyone's expression default to "royally pissed off"?
Sonicspirit
Heh! I hope not! ^_^ A few characters though, yeah, definitely.
Selden
Hey, I wouldn't be searching after that guy either. They've kind of got a track record of not being helpful and there's a lot better ways to spend one's time than by tracking down someone you aren't happy with.
Sonicspirit
That's definitely why it wasn't a priority! But as time passed and other transformees fail to emerge, trying to connect with guy, even if he's an asshole, starts to become a thing to look at again!
fragmaster01
Why does he get to be on TV, when I'm a little pony in a cloak? Grr arg hoof noises.
Sonicspirit
"Dude coulda got me a TV spot this WHOLE TIME?"
Mix
Nothing about this is transformation. It's just another fucking MLP comic.
Selden
Not nice, he used to be a human female. There's more to transformation than a warping of flesh and this comic is all about trying to handle having become nonhuman in a world that by and large has trouble coping with that.
Sonicspirit
It's post TF, and part of a longer story. More characters are planned to TF later, but I need to set up the plot and who they are first so it has actual impact. There's plenty of pinups and short sequences if that's more your speed. They're hella fun. But I like TF as a storytelling vehicle too, and feel like post TF stuff doesn't get explored as much, and it's a goldmine for good themes.
Also has nothing to do with MLP, despite the main character being an alicorn, but whatever. All equids are from one singular property according to you.
Sonicspirit
Thank you very much.
Luciusappaloosius
Hoping we'll see a backstory on "that guy" eventually... 7@=e
Sonicspirit
^_^ He'll have more of a direct presence, eventually. He has to be willing to trust literally anyone before he'd share any of his story.
avatarjk137
Alright, good to see more of this.
Sonicspirit
^_^ Thanks. I got interrupted from working on this by a move.
subject-c
Found him!
fragmaster01
Page 48 - The angry unicorn face is great until you realize that he's like 3 feet tall at most, and is more like a tiny little fuzzball going "grrr."
Then it's Very great.
authfur
Hold up: why does it say female to male? I thought he was originally male.
Mix
look kid... take your weeaboo comic elsewhere. you simply lack any tf in anything presented here.
Canton
No need to be rude. In any case, we don't know where this story is going with Fancy Man, and in the meantime it's a social/psychological TF aftermath story, which seems valid to me. (The prologue includes the physical TF.)
Cathrope
Haters will hate.
Cathrope
It lives!
Elliotissokool
is it really still okay to upload these here when the comic has basically gone way past its TF phase?
Sonicspirit
Given that it's a long-form story with more characters intended to TF in the next chapter, I figured it'd be okay, (and I personally really like post-TF, since in my opinion that's where the story starts--with the character dealing with the dramatic change to their life)--but I also thought I'd get through 52 pages in 1 year, not 4.
I've been planning to switch to an illustrated light novel format instead for the next issue, (there're only about six pages left of Hiding), but I'm not sure how or if I would post those to Transfur, since I'm concerned about running into the description box's character limit. *shrug*
Ealadubh
It hasn't.
Korben-nebrok
Does it really bother you so bad? If so, stop looking at it and move on. Let the rest of us enjoy it.
avatarjk137
Oh, interesting. This might be some key insight here into how the TFs are caused in this setting.
Arthas972
How can u stay mad at that face?
