Proud To Be Weird

 Proud To Be Weird

A Dan Aykroyd TF tale.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Hello everyone,  i'm Nathan Forester...or as some of you weirdos out there call me the 'were-celebrity' guy. And to be honest I am perfectly happy with that title. If it sounded like I hated the title before, it's because i'm a little too socially awkward for my own good and way too damn self conscious, i'm a mess really...I guess I take after my mom. Yes, I DO self insert myself into my own stories, so what? I see no problem with it, because i've always wanted to imagine what it's like to be transformed into something or someone else, i've always wanted to imagine that and dream about that frequently.  I'm a freak alright, and damn proud to be one too. I've always been fascinated with the idea of shapeshifting. I blame my personal favorite show Big Wolf On Campus for that.  Yeah, that show made me realize that 'holy crap, being a monster would be awesome and i'd be able to do all kinds of things.'  I wanted to be a werecreature or at least some kind of transforming creature in general.  Because shapeshifting is awesome.  You know those cool music videos where one person turns into someone else or where someone morphs into a monster or an animal?  Yeah, I was introduced to this thanks to my personal favorite musician Michael Jackson.  Michael was definitely an entertainer I could relate to,  he too was unfairly judged for being 'different' and I can relate to that, I guess some people just don't know that my niche is one that happens to be extremely rare.

I don't know if there is anyone besides me who is totally into the idea of becoming a famous person but hey, if you know someone..let me know.  The point is, I think celebrity transformations are underrated.  I was originally against TG because I generalized all male to female tgs as being the same, you know..guy grows massive Pamela Anderson sized breasts, loses his private parts,  and becomes addicted to sex. I understand half of the world views it as a fetish fantasy but not me, I am into it because it's something I am good at - I am good at writing these sorts of things, as an actor I take on different roles every day.  Sometimes they're not all the same, sometimes I mix it up, there's a lot more to me than meets the eyes.  I'm a freak in the morning, i'm a freak in the afternoon, i'm a freak in the evening and i'm a freak at night,  i'm an all around weirdo and damn proud of it.  If I was an SNL cast member, i'd likely be Dan Aykroyd - he's strange like I am.  But in an adorable way, seriously I wanna hug that guy. Of course my past self would object to this and would probably protest 'i'm not an Aykroyd, i'm a Belushi.' I was a fool back then to try and be anyone else.  In case you're wondering, yes..Nathan IS my real name. Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.  Anyway, where was I? Oh yes, i'd totally be a Dan Aykroyd type.

Basically yeah, I see it...i'm totally an Aykroyd. Recently I had been having all sorts of dreams about him, not just about him but becoming him and even one that was a parody of viruses and for the record, having a virus dream that I am going to bring up in another story isn't 'fetishizing' a virus, putting a dress on the Covid19 germ and making it a playboy model is fetishizing it, if you honestly think that what I did was fetishize it, you're wrong.  Anyway, this isn't about them this is about my Aykroydian dreams. I can't control what I dream about, nor do I understand them nor do I want to change them,  but if I could I would put in less depressing ones.  I was in my computer lab one evening watching some morphing videos.  Morphing has always fascinated me anyway, I have attempted to make my own ones but they didn't turn out well, I saw a morph of someone into a xenomorph and one into a demon and I thought those looked awesome. I wish I could transform, I really could, sometimes I wish I was anyone but myself.  I gazed at those videos on the screen for a few minutes before drifting off a little and having another one of my weird Aykroyd visions, at least I thought it was a vision.  Basically I was envisioning the prologue from the Twilight Zone movie when Aykroyd himself, appearing as the character he played in that materialized next to me.

"Hang on a second...am I dreaming?"

"Well if you are i'm liking it so far. Hi there Nathan, i'm Dan Aykroyd."

"I know who you are. You're my hero."

"I'm glad to hear that.  Now i've heard that you can morph, and you wish you could be someone other than yourself."

"Yes, sometimes I am the cause of one too many problems."

"Maybe I could help..."

"How?"

"I notice you like becoming other people."

"Yes...I do."

"Maybe I could possess you and turn you into me."

"Go on..."

"It won't hurt I promise."

'Very well...go ahead.' Aykroyd took on a transparent sheen and a spectral form as he entered my mouth and went down my throat, possessing me in the process..I didn't struggle or anything I just wanted him to take over me because if my dreams taught me anything I wanted to be him.  I can't really explain it really, maybe it's because I relate to him so much.  I smiled, thinking this was going to be alright which it was...I could have used a bit of a break from being myself anyway, so I watched as my stomach gurgled for a little but it wasn't discomforting  'You seem to be happy about this.' 'You have no idea how long i've waited to do this.'

"Well then i'm glad to be of assistance."

I grasped my stomach for a little as it enlarged, my chest and torso followed suit as hairs slowly developed on the top half of my chest, they weren't Robin Williams or Alec Baldwin-esque in terms of hairyness but quite rugged as my arms broadened, my hands enlarging in the process. I was a little bit shocked but not too surprised as I was used to morphing all the time, it was just that I wish I could do it more often without being judged for it. I mean do you know how hard it is for a guy like me to get by in this town?  Almost everything and everyone is after me and I am always being tossed around and hurt, yes being part-vampire does make me immune to physical pain but emotional pain never goes away and I have been screwed with too many times.   Just too many times, I can't handle dejection, I can't handle rejection, I can't handle abuse,  I just can't.

My back broadened as did my legs, while my feet did enlarge an interesting mutation developed that made two of the toes on each take on an appearance that made them looked webbed, my rear inflated a little bit as my skin aged itself, making me look like I was in my late 60's while my back broadened and I slowly went up a couple of sizes in height until I was 6'1,  my shoulders broadened while my neckline altered. My hair darkened while my brow altered and my head grew a little bit in size, my eyes widening as one turned green and the other remained brown, my noe enlarged as my lips became a little bit more kissable and my features plumped up.  I felt a sneeze coming on as my nose broadened, a cliff materializing down the middle of it as my features slowly morphed into a perfect replication of Aykroyd's features and my voice deepened and contorted, developing a Canadian accent and becoming a replica of his voice. My mind and personality altered, becoming his as my transformation completed itself...it felt natural too, all my troubles melted away as I remembered that I was used to being weird and was proud of it, I was an Aykroyd and there's nothing with that...my personality and mind were his and so were my body and also my voice.  It was like I was his perfect twin and there was nothing more that I could ask for.

I looked at myself before going to my computer and checking out my new Discord server,  I didn't need a lasting friendship with someone to be fullfilled,  I only needed myself and fun and that was it. Yes I am temperamental, yes I am passive-aggressive, yes I don't do things as told sometimes, sometimes I am not easy to get along with and people drop me like a sack of potatoes but I don't care, I can do without some things. I'm a freak, i'm a weirdo, and damn proud to be one.

"So how do you feel?"

"Proud."

"That's good we've made a lot of progress."

Here is my message to people out there, if you have trouble making friends or just keeping them or have flaws that they can easily use against you, then I think it's time that you showed them just how it's really okay to be different and not the same.  After all if we were all the same it wuld be boring.
