    I wonder if shapeshifters would struggle with profile shots since they mostly see themselves head-on.

    Two hours refining the eye size, then turning around to find your nose is twice the length it should be and your cheekbones are concave, somehow.

      They would certainly have a trifold mirror setup at a minimum, if not a mirror on the other side of the room. Character creation is the most crucial part of playing a role.

      in ds9, the changelings can partially read minds so they would be able to adjust thier form very easily, also capable of changing thier mass and storing it in a pocket dimension, according to trek sources.

        God I would genuinely kill you be able to do this. I don’t think I will ever be fully comfortable in my body and I doubt this would fix it but atleast I could just keep things changing.

          I know it’s a typo, but it brings a level of personal aggression to the phrase that completely changes the meaning and I love it.

          It’s not just that “I would kill (somebody) for that”, it’s “I would kill you for that”

          I hope you find a way to be more comfortable though!

              Nah just own it. You only need to kill this one person to obtain your shapeshifter dreams!

              Admit it, “I’d say sorry but I’d still pull the trigger.” 😁
