Setting reference for the #manatear! That Jazz of @niksystem.bsky.social got! You see the ottery lava critter can just swim through lava casually. #furryart #transfur #tfsky some light body horror. :)

A sequence featuring Jazz the Cheetah turning into a large ottery fire elemental critter with a wormy center. Jazz is holding a potion bottle. Her shirt tears open revealinga jagged seam forming on their torso.
Dialog - "Hhurrk-! woah that acts fast. Already feel like fire is in my gut! Oh there's the splitting head ache-!!"
The second image shows the torso up splitting wide a total bisecting jaw forming, the ele'in worm whipping about. Splatting molten lava tripping from a lava flow-esque inside.
Image three shows the final transformation, a cooled shell lava flow looking giant otter with no eyes. the ele'in worm sticking out from their mouth and from their tail which is partially open in the jaw that now fully surrounds and halves bisecting her body. "Ohhh weeeirrrd." she looks at herself with the worm perception.

Reference text!
Manatear Reference
Lava Ele'in

The Lava ele'in is very ecologically limited to active fiery biomes, a space that is generally very dangerous to visitors.

Extremely well adapted the otter-morph ele'in can outright swim in lava flows.

Lava ele'in share the intense friendliness with snowbeast.

Most report lava ele'in hugs that vastly more dangerous than snow ele'ins.

Should transformation be in progress a spellfluxed is instructed to finish transforming and letting the fire immunity settle in before jumping in lavaflows.
Dried Ele'in worms are common 'emergency vector' material to allow a spellfluxed to survive a dangerous context.

Freezing, wildfire, floods, but not every ele'in is functional for this use.

Generally considered a last resort, preferable to a long respawn.

Like any transformation a spellfluxed can develop the conditioning to remain lucid, allowing proactive use to travel.

Proactive intentional transformations does help maintain lucidity, But the ele'in family of shapes are notorious for being intense on Identity blanketing.

even 'lucid' a now ele'in is heavily filtered. Making the subject easily distracted.

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

So this take is spreading around a lot, and I want to put a little caution.

The NDAA is a bill that passes yearly, only applies to this year.

The “definition of sex” applies only to athletics and only to military cadets, so not other athletes.

It is still a bad bill, for many reasons.

1. In exchange for her NDAA vote, MTG has announced that her national felony trans youth care ban will go to the floor December 17th.

It is not expected to pass into law due to the U.S. Senate.

Still, it will be a terrible historic moment for anti-trans bills.
