Animorphs #20-22 by @kaaauthor
This is a remake of a book I made almost exactly two years ago. That was the 11th book I ever made and this one is the 50th (!) I asked K.A. Applegate to sign the book while it was still in sheets, so I only had one chance to get it right.
🐅 Animorphs 20-22 was the first serialized arc in the 90s book series.
🐅 The heroes recruit a new kid to their guerilla team and grant him morphing powers, only for his selfish and sociopathic tendencies to jeopardize their fight against the alien invasion.
🐅 Young readers were challenged by this subversion of the "new kid" trope and the moral dilemma that developed. Do they kill a fellow teammate? How else can they neutralize him?
🐅 ALSO: Can these middle schoolers crash the G7 Summit and save Boris Yeltsin, Bill Clinton, and other heads of state from infestation?
Foil Quill on Verona bookcloth, with iridescent calligraphy ink edges. I wanted to give this trilogy the special edition it deserves.

What do you think the Animorphs would've thought of the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett?
They're not my jam, so I'll float this to fans of Disworld: What would the Animorphs think?

Bruh it's nearly 2023 and I still haven't recovered from how dirty we did the Animorphs like???? The fictional allegory for a trans teenager literally being "trapped in the wrong body" for the bulk of the series until a cis girl falls in love with him and they heal together? The unflinching portrayal of an interracial love between two characters (Jake, a white cis male and Cassie a black cis woman), and how much they had to endure to stay together? Direct, brutal and unrelenting depictions of PTSD, trauma responses, depression and anxiety? The final moral of the story being "war is hell, good guys die, evil wins all the time and we need to accept this to beat it," like???? THE FUCKING ANIMORPHS?????? WHY THE HELL DID WE MILLENNIALS LATCH ONTO J.R. RAWBOOTY OR WHATEVER HER ASS IS CALLED WHEN THE ANIMORPHS WERE RIGHT THERE????????? THE BOOKS ARE SO BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN I'M GONNA SCREAM?

Since y'all really liked my other animorph art, here's one from the Hork Bajir chronicles.
The more I read these books the more I hate the Andalites, which I think is suppose to be the natural progression of the reader.
First off, Seerow's kindness is just tragic all around. If I was super advance and saw intelligent life stuck living in mud puddles or monkies I'd want to help them as well. But at the same time I understand the Yeerks. If my choices were mud puddle/monkey or I could take a host and experience the joys of sight and sound.... i think I'd take a host. It's all around such a tragic situation and it's such an amazing story to hear play out.
And man, the Hork Bajir. Poor Dak, you learn your entire species was specifically made to be less intelligent and now every other species looks down on you for that. I feel bad for Aldrea too of course. Seeing your entire family killed then forcing a war on peacful species because it's that or enslavment.... just... man.
I love these chronicle breaks but it's really not much of a break when it's so much freakin sadder. But I do love Aldrea and Dak, they wefe adorable. Very Tarzan and Jane but with way more war and way more tragedy.

Ignore how bad this picture is, but I met one of my favorite authors today! I told her she was one of the main reasons I wanted to be a writer, and her immediate reaction was to say "I'm so sorry..."

Animorphs (Books 1-23) as Vines
spoiler alert: if it has a basketball, I’m slapping Jake’s name on it
honorable mentions for jokes that didn’t make it in the final cut:
Cassie trying to solve every problem by turning into bugs
Tobias’s bird-dolphin rodeo
The Sharing
Jake’s friends scraping his splattered guts off the ceiling of an airplane
That one where Cassie runs a horse race
The psychic frogs
The time when they saved the falling guy by morphing birds of prey and floating him to the ground but Arnold Schwarzenegger got all the credit

I've got a thing for people who are undeniably themselves. The ones with messy hair, and even messier souls. The kinds of people who wear their hearts on their chest, and have passion in their tears. I've hot a thing for those people who laugh at their own jokes, and rejoice in their own success. It's the people who fight gor what they believe in and never let their spirit settle that are the ones for me. I'm obsessed with all the people who have the strength to remain soft, and let their fire burn hard. These are the type of people I'm in love with. These are the type of people I want in my life. These are my people.

I've seen a lot of folks talk about how in-universe things would be different in a modern AU, but I'm curious if you have any thoughts about how Animorphs and its world building would be if it were being written now in a (post?-) war on terror world rather than a post-Vietnam War world.
So this'd be speculation, but. But a lot has changed since 1996. We'd probably get YA Animorphs if published today (sigh), and we'd definitely get 6 or 12 oversized tomes rather than 54 slim paperbacks. On the plus side, we'd get canon queer rep, especially Tobias and Marco, and we'd get updated animal facts.
And then there's the War on Terror. Controversial opinion: I think it wouldn't change that much about Animorphs, because it's obvious in hindsight that Applegate saw the foreverwar coming.
Like, look at Marco's speech in MM2 about how the U.S. is "always on the lookout for new enemies... Enemies 'R Us, EnemyMart, J.C. Enemy. Don't worry, we'll find one." Or his point in #46 about how "global warfare is a thing of the past. That’s what people think, anyway" and the inherent danger in war becoming this glorious abstraction to too many Americans. Look at Visser's point about how humans "tear down a living man but revere a dead one" and use tragic deaths to forward the political agenda, whatever that might be. Look at Jake's job in #54, developed because "terrorism had grown... religious extremists... antigovernment paranoids... latter-day racists."
And then look at the andalites. "Police force of the galaxy" (#8), "Meddlers of the galaxy" (HBC), who often do more harm than good to the planets they try to save. They try to use their tech and military advantages responsibly... but not so responsibly that they're willing to give up even an iota of power to save lives. We first meet the andalites as the absolute good guys, and then over the course of the series that foundation crumbles (#8), and crumbles (#18), and crumbles (#19), and crumbles (#38), until Jake and Eva are "making deals with taxxons and yeerks to gain a victory fast enough to keep the andalites from deciding... to blast the entire planet out of existence and take out the bulk of the yeerk race along with the human race" (#53). Sound like any countries you know?
Anyway, Animorphs shows the Afghanistan War wasn't caused by the Sept. 11 murders any more than World War I was caused by Franz Ferdinand's murder. Applegate was writing in a U.S. itching for any moral-looking excuse to go to war, and clearly she knew it.

Before I began this Everworld re-read I would have said that my main memory of it was "not as good as Animorphs," but damn, rereading it now and I keep being like, "oh damn, that's where that formative image or philosphical concept came from. Oh damn, reading that at nine years old deeply shaped me."
#like there's some big obvious ones like the scene of the vikings getting slaughtered by the aztecs#but also subtler ones like when the coo-hatch are having trouble with knots and jalil reflects that technological progress is not even#everworld#k.a. applegate#animorphs#anyway i've having fun with this reread
