Animorphs must be the only work of fiction that explains why the aliens only attack America
They specifically only attack one town, and that’s both because the first invaders were fooled by Hollywood then spent years doing drugs there, and explicitly because it’s a good neighborhood to raise kids in.
It all makes sense in context honestly

Usually Bones is so casual when he’s off duty that people on board can forget that he knows all their personal information. Not that he’d ever misuse it. But one night everyone was very drunk, amd Jim was insisting that Bones couldn’t possibly remember who on board has an appendix. So everyone lined up and Bones walked down the aisle. Yes. Yes. No. No. Yes. Yes. No. Yes. No. No. No. You’re species doesn’t have one. Yes. Yes.
100% correct.This might be my new favorite headcanon.

“And you, your liver’s funny lookin’.”
“And you’re missing 3 cm’s of duodenum.”
“Two plates in the left femur.”
“Regenerated kidneys.”
“And if I ever have to see the inside of your peritoneum again, Riley, I’m gonna hand in my papers.”
I’m cackling so hard at the last one!
Everyone has something anatomically or medically weird with them, and some are more obvious than others.
I can see him making his way down the line:
“Horseshoe kidney.”
“Perforated left tympanum at the age of seven.”
“Missing the nail on your right hallux because it just would not stop ingrowing.”
“Your species’ resting BP is 200/130.”

Right, so I got drafted into working for my old job for part of my trip to visit my friends and this is just a PSA that I’m going to be kinda out of touch because I got on a bus at 9 this morning for five hours and worked an eight hour shift and now I’m at a hotel to work a ten plus hour shift tomorrow.
If you sent me a message or an ask today and didn’t get a reply, please assume this post is an apology to you.
On the other hand, the girl in the seat across from me on the bus was an otherworldly creature. Lighthouse sweatshirt girl, you’re beautiful.
Anonymous asked: In my mind I will forever refer to Jake as "Roach Boy"
Oh my God, the YELP of laughter I let out when I saw this, you have no idea. Roach Boy, with a Roach Motel on his head.
On a somewhat related note I think it’s fucking great that he gets called Big Jake, like, point me toward the fanart where Jake is just. A big dude. Not fat–he’s an athlete, even if he’s not great at basketball–but just big. I have a friend who’s a football player (like…one of the positions that does a lot of running, I know nothing about football) and he’s like six foot and he’s ALWAYS been a really huge dude, tall and broad shouldered and kind of benevolently looming at all times, even when we were Animorphs-age. Draw me Jake like that dude. Just. Real tall and real broad through his shoulders with real big hands and generally kind of unsure about what to do about it. Talk to me about how he goes from kind of cheerfully slouched (I know a lot of friendly huge dudes, you know the slouch I mean, of like “I’m really tall and I’m trying to look approachable”) to ramrod straight and menacing as fuck during the war. He goes from being totally friendly and adorable to…genuinely kind of intimidating?
…listen, I’m sorry for this drastic change of topic, I just have a lot of feelings about Big Jake.
Anonymous asked: So there's a TV show about the Animorphs... Is that a things that's acknowledged in this fandom or is it Not A Thing We Talk About Shut The Hell Up?
I know there are some people who acknowledge it, but I got through literally a quarter of the first episode before I concluded that I was being unnecessarily cruel to myself and since then I have happily pretended that it does not exist while dreaming about the animated series I want to get someday.
Oh NO! MARCO!!! ANd MArco’s MUM?! Jesus Christ
IT’S SO TERRIBLE AND SO PAINFUL AND I LOVE IT DEARLY
*slams fist on table* Holy crap do I love this thing with Marco’s family. Also is it bad that I found the line about his mother being On Yeerk mothership funny? This is seriously juvenile humour.. and yet
Oh no trust me I too laugh at that joke every time. I’m also always hysterically amused by the recurring joke of “Hey, Rachel, open this door” Rachel, in morph: *breaks down the door*
Like, I’m a huge fan of that terrible joke, it will never not be funny to me.
mirandatam asked: Okay wow, these are dated: "How long do you think this will take?" Rachel asked. She checked her watch. "I set the VCR for two of my favorite shows, but I forgot to tape the movie of the week." "I'm taping it in case you miss it," Cassie said. Wow.
First of all, yeah, wow, the 90′s were a long time ago. Like, I know how to wind a cassette tape with a pencil and I’m pretty sure my friend’s kid sister has never even seen one before. It’s a trip.
Second of all, I kind of love how much Rachel and Cassie (and Jake and Marco, for all that they try to be gruff about it) are just. Really into their friendship. Like, yes, obviously, Cassie tapes movies that Rachel wants to see and makes sure to hang onto them for her. Rachel probably tapes Animal Planet sometimes, with much complaining, for her best friend. *sighs* I love them. They’re good kids.
grape juice omfg, these kids
In case you had missed that they’re TINY TEENS, they’re teeny tiny teens. Like. Thirteen. Juice box teens. I know that’s not what this is referencing but THEY’RE TINY TEENS, MARCO PROBABLY BRINGS CAPRI SUN WITH HIS LUNCH BOX. Or he would if he brought a lunch box.
