No one loves the animorphs as much as me is what I’m learning today
You lie, I will fight you for that title.
You actually have a lot of animorphs content on your blog so based on that alone you may win however I am currently hand-writing an spn animorphs au at work soooo
I’ll see you with the fact that I hand wrote this Animorphs/Avengers crossover fic five years ago on a road trip with my best friend, and raise you the fact that I own the entire series hard-copy.
Hi hello I am entering this contest unsolicited with the fact that I have dragged at least three (QUESTIONABLY FOUR but that second anon is elusive, and I don’t know how many people actually took my recommendation outside of those people) adult humans into reading this series within the past eight months and am writing a fifty part series of miscellaneous Animorphs fics from that one prompt list.
I LOVED these books back when they came out. I used to save up all my hard earned babysitting money to buy the newest book as soon as it came out because the library never got it right away and there was always a huge waiting list. I gave up reading them sometime around December 1998 because it seemed like the story was never going to conclude, it was just going to be more and more and more and more books. I actually didn’t realize that it had an end until seeing people talk about Animorphs on my dash. I should see if my mom still has my copies in her basement. Now I want to see how it ends, lol.

You always come back for more. You never surrender. Maybe you die, but you never surrender.
Panels for Animorphs #5, feat. maybe my favorite Ax and Marco exchange of all time?

Anonymous asked: Yes to your Jake headcanon. 'Big Jake' to me always meant that he was broad shouldered and tall and just solid (which means Tom was probably even taller if he called him midget but that could have also been a big brother teasing thing). No offense to anyone if they want to headcanon Jake as being chubby, but that's not how I interepreted his nickname at all.
I have read some EXCELLENT chubby Jake headcanons and I’m here for it, tbqh, but yeah, IDK I knew a lot of just…really big dudes when I was younger, the gentle giant types who seem kind of bemused by being the size of a fridge. And Jake always struck me as the type of guy who seems kind of bemused about being so tall. Also, who else is with me that Tom used to call Jake midget because Jake was shorter than him as a kid and then Tom got infested with a Yeerk and the Yeerk never changed the nickname even though by the end of the war Jake is three inches taller than his big brother. Obviously in an AU where Everything Is Okay this means that Tom calls Jake midget as like an ongoing family inside joke that makes people very confused because Jake is Tall.
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

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.
