Honestly if the fellowship had cellphones the #1 change would be Aragorn constantly complaining on the phone with arwen in the two towers like “they’re flirting again. Yes again. Literally I don’t even want to tell u what I walked in on yesterday but it involved gimli cleaning his axe in an inappropriate manner. And the worst bit is they still pretend like they hate each other my god. I’m gonna lose it I swear” while arwen is like “mhmm that’s nice dear”

wandringaesthetic asked: About the Animorphs only being able to save one person in the first book and you feeling relieved about that: I was, for a good year or so, 98% sure the books were Real and trying to figure our where the local Yeerk pools were. I think the fact that the Animorphs so often lose and/or barely escape with their lives in the first few books (they don't have a real VICTORY until book 7) are what cemented it for me. It felt so much more honest than any fiction I'd been exposed to before that.
Oh my God YES. They…they basically don’t win for six books, and I had never seen that kind of track record in any books, let alone kids’ books. I mean, they get Ax out before the Yeerks can get to him, but even that…the only reason they survive that encounter is because the whales come and save them from being eaten by Visser Three, it is A VERY CLOSE CALL is my point here. And like, that’s upsetting, sure, yeah, very upsetting, the fate of the world is at stake and these THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLDS keep losing fights, but just…someone who was prepared to admit, straight-up, in a kids’ book that sometimes you lose and that’s just how it is? I was fucking blown away.
I am an adult, I cannot be flailing in a public ice cream store about these books, I have work to do.
That being said, NEVER HESITATE TO TALK TO ME ABOUT ANIMORPHS.

So turns out we’re doing a post for every single book. Literally why am I like this. Posts will be going here, feel free to block the tag. Spoilers, yadda, yadda.
Book 2: The Visitor
AKA “We get some seriously grim insight on voluntary Controllers, the first bug morph, and probably the reason I hate shrews”

the limitations of wax as an adhesive
So I started this the HOUR I got out of X-Men Apocalypse and then I got busy and it sat mostly-finished in my documents for like a month and a half and then I finished it and now it’s sat COMPLETELY finished in my documents for about two and a half weeks. But I finally got around to posting it. Warnings for…standard X-Men-level violence, body horror, social prejudice, and general jackassery, and also for rampant abuse of parentheticals. Crossposted to AO3 here.
So this is how it starts.
He comes around and the first thing he realizes is that his head is clear, really clear, for the first time in…a while. Might be days. Might be weeks. Good fucking job, he tells himself while he’s still working up the courage to move. Stranger danger, dumbass. Especially when the strangers in question are blue and pop out of mysterious purple bubbles, apparently. To give himself due credit, he’s pretty sure he tried to leave the blue stranger in the dust—the guy’s name is elusive, something ancient, something translated roughly as ‘Apocalypse,’ and isn’t that just menacing as hell.
Who wants to talk about superpowers with drawbacks?
ME. Everything is under a cut because I’m trying not to inflict too much mulling-over-of-plot on y’all. But I need to hash some details out re: Polaris and Tumblr is now my wall at which to throw things.
…………………reblog this and say something nice about the person u reblogged it from because there’s too much hate on my dashboard right now and its making me upset so lets start a chain of love

Moran Rereads Animorphs
Listen to me, kiddies. I read these books for the first time when I was SEVEN. (Well, it took me about three years to collect most of them and get to the end, so I read the first half of the series about twelve times by the time I was ten or eleven.) And let me tell you a thing: if you have passed these books up because of the ridiculous covers or because they’re ‘kids’ books’ you need to reevaluate your life. Immediately.
ANYWAY, I found them all for free on the internet (GET THEM HERE) and I’m rereading them/reading them out loud to Adler, because we are actually DISGUSTINGLY domestic. And I was originally planning to comment on them like five at a time, because otherwise I’d have way too many posts, but I wrote like a solid page of things down about the first book alone, so….yeah. I guess books-per-post will be flexible based on how much I say about the book in question. Here be spoilers, obviously. If you don’t want to hear about it, please feel free to block my Animorphs tag, I won’t be offended.
Book 1: The Invasion
AKA “The first named character is murdered, a main character is trapped as a bird, and five kids sign up for a lifetime of PTSD”
I was younger than you are now
When I was given my first command
I led my men straight into a massacre
I witnessed their deaths first-hand
I made every mistake
And felt the shame rise in me
And even now I lie awake
Knowing history has its eyes on me
