No quería que se me escapara de las manos y lo terminé rompiendo por agarrarlo muy fuerte ❤️‍🩹

Jake: You enslaved my brother. Esplin: ...Do you have the slightest idea how LITTLE that narrows it down?

Honestly the Hork-Bajir Chronicles gives such an interesting spin on Visser Three's character. He comes off as a bit of an arrogant buffoon most of the time, but actually getting a look at where he started, it's easy to see why. He's surprisingly smart, but insanely ambitious, and the latter tends to overtake the former. He researches Andalites endlessly before getting a proper host body, and seems like the most tactically knowledgeable Yeerk among his crew. And the big thing is - he keeps getting proven right. He knows that destroying Seerow's scoop is foolhardy. He starts out with a silent invasion of the Hork-Bajir, but his pivot to a guns-blazing attack is a major factor in their eventual victory. He successfully predicts Aldrea's actions multiple times and would have infested her had his ambition not gotten the better of him. And later, in the Andalite Chronicles, he quickly analyzes Elfangor's weakness and is able to exploit them to misdirect him and finally infest an Andalite, which was his goal from the very beginning. But because he's been right so many times, his arrogance has become so overinflated that by the time the main series actually starts, he can't even begin to fathom the idea that he's wrong.

Out of all the characters (animorphs, yeerks, and literally everyone else) who would you say is the biggest drama queen? And out of the adults (aliens included) who is the biggest 'manbaby' (toddler in an adult body)

I mean, Visser Three is RIGHT THERE.

A few favorites:

He scanned the room like the Queen of Hearts, looking for someone to behead.

«Strange place to meet for our final battle, Andalites,» he said. «But battle we must.» That was pretty calm for him. I think maybe the fact that he was the size of a dandruff flake depressed him.

«You'll lose Leeran for us yet, you half-human fool!» "Like you've already lost Earth, despite the fact I handed it over to you in perfect shape?" It was bizarre. You have to understand that there was a huge, roaring battle going on between my friends and the Hork-Bajir. And I was standing there, having just punched out a Leeran. But all the two vissers seemed to care about was trashing each other.

did someone say Carnageized Visser Three???

(it was me, I said it)

“average yeerk murders 3 subordinates a year" factoid actually just statistical error, average yeerk murders 0 subordinates per year. Decapitations Esplin, who has an andalite host and kills over 10,000 each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted

trying 2 push visser three’s shapes a little harder 

Okay okay okay

I KNOW, in Canon, for the Hosts of Yeerks, all their voices sound the exact same

And I KNOW, in Canon, for Visser Three's host that his voice sounds the exact same...

But it's <Thought-Speak>

It's Esplin's own speech and voice and cadence coming to life in a way he's never experienced before in his time, in all the Hosts he's possessed, none of them have given him the ability to hear his own voice being used to give orders and yell and scream and command as much as he fucking wants to instead of being trapped behind some barrier.

And how creepy would it be with the scene of Elfangor figuring out that "Alloran" isn't Alloran anymore and then suddenly that voice that Esplin was keeping up just drops into that psychotic narcissism he embodies with every breath.

That's my HC and I'm sticking to it

Happy New Year

Ninguna de nuestras heridas, justifica herir a otros 🩸

And Visser Three is there. Visser Three is always there.

ships u don't ship: dak hamee/esplin 9466

You're right I wouldn't ship it, but I would have loved to see those two interact during Hork-Bajir Chronicles. The sheer contempt that Dak would have for Esplin would probably be powerful enough to destroy Mr. Andalitekin on the spot.

I've been thinking but what would happen if visser three's twin had infested alloran instead?

I'm not sure it'd be much different at all. What little we know of Esplin's twin brother Esplin is that he is basically Esplin without the honor prestige of having an Andalite host. Consider: They're both crazy Yeerks with ambitions of glory, they're both relatively intelligent when they want to be, they both work with their enemies when needed, they're both cannibals, they both murder people, they both live in flammable houses. They have so much in common! I think they might be related.

Can you draw Tripitaka from your Animorph AU please
