miraculoussparrow asked: I'm reading a biography about a badass screenwriter Dalton Trambo, blacklisted during HUAC and sent to prison. He was cool. Anyway, my point is that one of the movies he worked on is titled Lonely are the Brave and the first thing I thought of was "That so describes the animorphs". Then I thought hey, that sounds familiar and remembered you screaming in the tags about "Too few in number and too proud to hide" so I figured I should tell you.
First of all, I’ve never been so pleased in my life as I am by this fact. If every single person on this blog knows me as “that one person screaming about the Animorphs” I’m fine with that.
Second of all, I’m with you???? I’m so with you?? There are so many good terrible tragic Animorphs quotes in the world. This one (the one you mentioned) is still my favorite though and I’m constantly screeching about how good it is. Behold the brave battalion… Hell yes. That’s the stuff. I should write a whole entire fic about how a rich Controller who saw the six of them go into battle at the end of the war commissioned a statue with the money their Yeerk made, and so there’s a statue in their rebuilt hometown of four kids standing back to back, one of the girls with a hawk on her arm and a young Andalite at their side ready to strike, with that quote on the base and the years of the War and not a damn thing else.

Book 14 is just a 150-page-long Scooby Doo episode and I love it dearly. Horses and Andalites toilets and highly questionable amusement park shenanigans. Also it is pretty much the last good times until 24, and then I think that might be…it. So I hope you relished it.
I have to be totally honest with you here, I just finished the series (again) this morning and I’m seriously considering rereading the entire thing as a balm for my soul.
Wow! 15 was so good as well! Seriously, I love all the introspection we get about Marco and his mother. And tbh the relationship between Marco and the rest of the Animorphs is just so… good? Like, seriously, this is my jam.
I love the relationship between the whole team, I love it so much, they’re such a desperate little family of warriors, it’s so good, they take such good care of each other. I mean. No. They don’t. Because they’re at war and sometimes that takes precedent. But they do their best and their best is so good I love them.
luckyladylily asked: Thought you might like this, in my head you are "That animorphs person". You made me get back into the series from when I was younger. Gradually making my way through the series again now. I Love your rereading comments.
This…this is it…this is the pinnacle of my life….
I was just wondering to my friend the other day if I qualified as an Animorphs Person now or not.
readera asked: For the softer world Animorphs, any pair. M, L, O, and T. T is made for Ax, though. Have you heard of the podcast Morph Club Cast? It is two nerds rereading all of Animorphs. All of them, even the spin offs!
AND YES. YES I HAVE HEARD OF MORPH CLUB. I LOVE THEM DEARLY. I DON’T KNOW IF MEGAN OR CAREY HAVE TUMBLR ACCOUNTS, BUT IF THEY DO, SOMEONE TAG THEM. IN THE EVENT THAT EITHER OF YOU SEE THIS, I SCREAMED FOR REAL WHEN I DISCOVERED YOUR PODCAST AND I LOVE IT TO BITS AND FUCKING PIECES.
Anonymous asked: *Finishes Book 13* *screams* OH GOSH I LOVE THIS BOOK VERY VERY MUCH. Like the Hork-Bajir plotline AND THAT ENDING!!!!!!! So good! I'm pretty sure this is my favourite book so far. AHHHH. I'm sorry I can't contain mY EMOTIONS BECAUSE THIS IS A GOOD BOOK AND I LOVE HAWK BOY TOBIAS. I LOVE PAIN. 1/2
And like the Hork-Bajir??? I… love them???? Bless them and all good wishes to them in their little Eden. Oh god and again another battle they won, and with like a damn good strategy rather than you know everything falling apart at the last minute. AND ALL THANKS TO MY BOY TOBIAS. And I really love how this book gave so much insight into his character. Sorry for the rant.
DO NOT BE SORRY I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH, I’M??? I LOVE IT? TOBIAS GETS TO BE A HERO AND THE HORK BAJIR GET THEIR LITTLE EDEN AND RACHEL AND TOBIAS GET TO JUMP OFF A CLIFF TOGETHER, WHICH IS JUST THEIR RELATIONSHIP IN A NUTSHELL TBH.
AND HAVE I MENTIONED HOW MUCH I LIKE THE SCENE OF THESE SIX TERRIFIED CHILDREN AND THESE TWO REFUGEE ALIENS STANDING IN THE FOREST AND TAKING A MOMENT OUT OF THEIR BUSY SCHEDULE OF BEING HUNTED LIKE ANIMALS TO SHOUT FREE OR DEAD AT THE TOP OF THEIR DESPERATE LITTLE LUNGS. LIKE, THAT IS THE THESIS OF THESE BOOKS, THAT IS WHAT EVERYONE IN THESE BOOKS BELIEVE, THAT IS THEIR CODE: FREE OR DEAD.
I’M GOING TO START CRYING ABOUT THIS?????
GOD OKAY I LOVE IT. PLEASE, GUYS, IF YOU KNOW OF ANY ART OF THIS GIVE IT TO ME SO I CAN WEEP SOFTLY OVER MY F A V O R I T E SCENE IN THIS SERIES.
Anonymous asked: ANDALITE. AND-A-LIGHT WOULD BE GREAT!!!!!!!! HILARIOUS. TOP QUALITY. I LOVE IT.
AND A LIGHT. LISTEN I WENT ALMOST TEN YEARS WITHOUG READING THESE BOOKS (long story) AND WHEN I REREAD BOOK 12 I LOOKED AT THE COVER AND THE FIRST THING THAT POPPED INTO MY HEAD WAS “CASSIE I’M SO PROUD OF YOU YOU’RE SO GOOD” LIKE LISTEN THAT LINE STUCK WITH ME COMPLETELY INTACT AND WORD PERFECT FOR A D E C A D E.
Also, if anyone wants to hear my headcanons about ADHD Rachel hit me U P.
Anonymous asked: Marco and the Terrible, Horrible. No Good, Very Bad Haircut™
Okay, I recommend the absolute hell out of Morph Club Cast, an Animorphs reread podcast, and in the episode for Book 10 I think they count a total of six mentions of Marco’s new haircut? Eight? Not sure. A lot.
So basically… all puppers are Chee’s right?
…so…at some point all puppers were part Pemalite but also evolution exists and maybe not anymore but on the other hand the puppers respond intelligently to the Pemalite crystal but…only sort of? Maybe? But yes.
I realize that I just gave every answer possible to that question, but also. Just roll with it.
I… don’t know how to feel about the Chee book. Just. Huh. Huh.
Same? Same tbh? It’s a weird book? Like, Marco has some Bad Times, but ultimately it doesn’t seem to click as well as, say, the previous book, in which Cassie had Bad Times and the day was saved by bureaucracy and skunks? Also, you just reminded me that I should post my recap of this book so that I can vent my Potentially Controversial Opinions about the Chee. Look forward to that being the next thing in the queue.
(preview: WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK PLEASE HELP THESE SIX TRAUMATIZED TEENAGERS INSTEAD OF JUST BEING PROBLEM GENERATORS)
I’M NOT EVEN GOING TO PUT THIS ON ANOTHER POST BECAUSE JUST. YES. JAKE IS MY BOY. HE’S THE BEST BOY. HE’S DOING HIS VERY BEST AND I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.
IF YOU DON’T LIKE JAKE BECAUSE OF THE ACTIONS HE TAKES DURING THE WAR, I DISAGREE BUT I RESPECT YOUR OPINION. IF YOU DON’T LIKE JAKE BECAUSE YOU THINK HE’S INCOMPETENT AND/OR BORING, I INVITE YOU TO MEET ME BEHIND THE HAUNTED EX-DENNY’S AND WE CAN SETTLE THIS PROPERLY.
