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.
Anonymous asked: Oh my god Marco looks so effin smug in the cover. What is with that smirk?
Honestly I feel like this question eminently encompasses the vast majority of Marco’s character.
Oh man, I like Marco a lot. I like them ALL a lot more than I thought I would. Ah crap looks like I’m adopting the whole lot
MY KIDS, I LOVE MY KIDS, THEY’RE SO WONDERFUL, I LOVE THEM, JOIN ME IN ADORING THEM ALL
Oh GOd. Ax is one of those HONOUR people
Yes. Yes he is. It’s kind of an Andalite Thing. Ax bleeds honor and Cinnabun icing.
"Wow, I wonder what it’d be like to have a difficult life?"

Book 5: The Predator
AKA “Marco learns about dramatic irony, the
PTSD squad meets the big boss, and we encounter the reason I hate lobsters and
think ants are the devil”

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”
