Professor Scritch

TF Sketch: Professor Scritch is near completion of his transformation from human to alligator, standing in his classroom in front of a blackboard. His large, plump body is now mostly scaly, with only scraps of his torn clothes clinging to it, a tie still around his neck, and his glasses perched on top of his broad gator muzzle. The only physical signs he was ever human are the hair on his head and the goatee on his chin. A powerful tail extends behind him. He holds a scaly paw to his face, looking cross-eyed at the snout that has pushed out from his face, its sharp teeth extending beyond his lips.

In today’s lecture on comparative psychology, we will explore the role of cognition versus instinct in the animal kingdom. Wait, where is everyone going? Who said class was dismissed? (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) #TFTuesday 👨‍🏫➡️🐊

wow, is that a Waterboy reference?

Parts 1 & 2 of a three-part TF sequence. Professor Scritch is in a plant nursery filled with hanging baskets and green foliage. On the left, he is still mostly human, wearing a red vest and tie while holding a small flower pot, but blue fur is beginning to sprout on his face. One of his eyes is human, while the other has already changed into a large red-and-yellow tiger eye, and his expression is anxious and uncertain. On the right, after dropping the flower pot, he is further along in his transformation into Derpy, a blue tiger creature with red-and-yellow eyes, striped blue fur, and a long tail. Torn khaki pants and remnants of his shirt and vest still cling to his body, with his red tie still around his neck. His glasses remain, but look small given his increased size. He scratches his head with a confused expression, big sharp teeth projecting from his mouth. His shoes have completely burst, revealing large blue foot paws. A little human skin remains, along with his hair and beard, but he is very close to completing the transformation.

I’m such a klutz… if I can just set this flower pot upright, maybe the changes will stop! But these huge, clumsy paws aren't doing me any favors... (🎨 by @doggodraws.bsky.social) #TFEveryday #KpopDemonHunters

Part 3 of the three-part TF sequence. Professor Scritch has fully transformed into Derpy, now a large blue tiger creature sitting on the nursery floor. His body is covered in blue fur with darker stripes, and his large red-and-yellow eyes stare intently at the overturned flower pot beside him. Only his glasses on the ground nearby indicate that he was ever human.

...ran out of time, but this flower pot is still bugging me. Can someone lend me a hand? (🎨 by @doggodraws.bsky.social) #TFEveryday #KpopDemonHunters

Yes please!

Thank you, kind doggo!

Update: I lost to Scritch!

Abolish ICE… These are not scary words. We’re facing scary people. And the entire apparatus must be dismantled and eliminated.

I met up with @professorscritch.bsky.social so I could teach him the wonders of hockey, but the magic of TF seems to follow us everywhere. Wait... When's the next game?
Well guess we got to practice some more because our teams are rivals and play... TOMORROW?!

TF Art: Professor Scritch transforming from a human into a stone gargoyle. He crouches on a stone slab, his lower body already turned to stone, with a tail tucked between his legs and dragon-like haunches, legs, and feet. A stone wing is beginning to sprout from his back. He looks up in shock at his still-human arm as his hand hardens into a cold stone paw tipped with claws. One ear has already turned to stone, while the rest of his face remains flesh. He wears only his recognizable tie and glasses, which will soon be the last remnants of his former humanity.

Tenure means a university can’t fire you, even in dire financial straits. It can, however, get very creative about finding you a new “permanent” position elsewhere on campus. (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) 👨‍🏫➡️🪨

Perfect!

Yes, please!

Do it! And let me know when you're in town. ❤️🐶

We have a winner! 🐶🏆🦊

Good guess! But that's not it. ❤️🐶

Not quite, but very warm! Very similar.

Surprised no one has officially gotten this one yet! 🐶❤️🦖

Where in the world is Professor Scritch? 🐶🌎

Transformation Art: On the left, a character in academic attire has transformed into an overjoyed beagle, lying on the ground with a floppy ear and a wagging tail. On the right, another character, previously in a blue polo shirt and khakis, has become a ferret. He stands upright, looking anxiously at his own paws, displaying a mix of confusion and apprehension.

TF pics depicting folks displaying wildly different degrees of enthusiasm for their transformations are among my favorites. I'd be overjoyed! The husband, not so much. (🎨 by discobiscotto). #TFTuesday #TFEveryday

It's Friday! Have a silly TikTok dance. #FursuitFriday
