this is some shit Robot Marco (from your au) would come up with
I mean, I literally had people in the notes of that AU commenting on how much mature and reasonable Marco was without empathy. So I guess him murdering 150+ innocent people (including several kids and his own mom) is still a case of ends justifying means for some readers.
Could you keep a yeerk captive and forced to morph human or starve, then morph yeerk and learn everything it knows? Im suprised they didn't use the mind control possibilities of the yeerks morph more, tbh. It seems like a real game changer
I mean, the kids have these nagging little things called ethics. Wherein they don't kidnap, torture, enslave, and meat-puppet people. As Ax puts it in #47: they have to find a way to fight off the yeerks without becoming the yeerks.

Tom: Shut up about Crayak; I want to talk about me and my problems
Also Tom: Who's Crayak? Nobody tells me anything :(
Does Eleutherophobia!Tom ever find out that Jake was behind that one phone call?
Yeah, it's in Chapter 15 of Ghost in the Shell! And there's a brief mention in Chapter 5 of How I Live Now. Both times it kind of comes up in the middle of a bunch of other crap. I deliberately didn't have them have a whole deep conversation about it, because that's on the list of ideas I've seen other authors do well and didn't feel like I had anything new to add.

Hey look! Proper Animorphs fanart! It's not exact, but it was heavily inspired from the books where is front legs slam out of him as he's deliriously morphing.

i love your page and your au's always inspire me to write more, and this is so random but who would be the best singer out of the animorphs (meaning who would be the least terrible, or are all of them just awful?) bonus for any secondary characters
It's my headcanon that the best singer of any of the Animorphs is actually... Jake. I know he insists he can't dance, and near as we can tell he's correct, but he also seems to have more musical appreciation than anyone else on the team. He sneaks into concerts (#10), he watches MTV (#21), and he buys CDs at least sometimes (#41). Other than Cassie mentioning NIN and Megadeth, we don't get much musical taste out of any of the others. So I like the idea that Jake's got a little bit of an ear for music, enough that he can listen to a song several times and start to teach himself to sing it after a while.
My nominee for worst singing voice would be Tobias. Mostly because singing requires confidence. So Tobias might even be able to carry a tune, but you'd never know it from the tiny whisper of "hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again because a vision softly creeping..." that he's mumbling into his own shirt collar if forced to sing during music class.
I also think Ax would just be incapable of singing, in that he wouldn't be able to grasp the idea: you're supposed to speak, but you're supposed to run the words together, but you're supposed to go up and down in tone, but you're supposed to keep a rhythm, but you're supposed to harmonize with the other music, and yes you have to do all that at the same time. He'd probably give it one try, and then declare this a stupid human art of pointlessness that an andalite warrior doesn't have time for.

what are your hcs for the animorphs' singing voices?

So you’ve tackled “could the Animorphs beat a Xenomorph,” but what about “could the Animorphs beat a Yautja?”
I'm going to vote for the Animorphs on this one. If Tobias can instantly spot a chee disguised as a rock (#27), one who is so well-disguised that a human could sit on that rock and never know anything, then Tobias can almost certainly see through Predator camouflage. We get those little hints of motion blur each time the Predator moves, presumably as the shielding is taking a second to catch up. So if a human can somewhat see one sometimes, then it seems reasonable that a raptor can always spot one.
Assuming that the Yautja attacks after Ax has a snake morph, then the Animorphs will also have an advantage in understanding how they're being hunted and adapting accordingly. Snakes are the obvious answer for blending in temperature-wise, but bugs could work too.
So: if Tobias can see the Predator, anyone with wolf or dog morph can track the Predator, and Ax can hide from the Predator... This one seems like an easy-ish win for Team Animorph.

Yeah, it's hard to say. This'd be after #5, so Marco would be fully committed to the war, but before #15, so none of his friends know why Marco's suddenly committed and wouldn't trust his commitment. We don't see Rachel chafing under Jake's command, or Marco's lieutenantship, until after the David trilogy (methinks the lady hath some displaced self-worth issues), but she does chafe. So I don't know if she'd let him lead or not.
That said, I think the deciding vote might be Ax's. And Ax trusts Marco a lot more than he trusts Rachel. Partly that's because Ax and Marco have the same strengths (curiosity, intellect, compartmentalization) whereas Ax and Rachel have the same flaws (ruthlessness, rationalization, fragile ego). But Ax is treated as the authority on the definition of "war-prince," and he's the one who bestows the title on Jake. So I could see him giving it to Marco, in the immediate aftermath of losing Jake early in the war.
What if when Temrash 114 infested Jake, towards the end of his three-day deadline, the Yeerk chose instead to morph into something and took the 2 hour deadline of morphing instead, basically spitting in the Animorphs face's that Jake would be forever lost to them.
Marco would kill Jake. He wouldn't like it, but he'd give the order. And Rachel would become the one to actually strike the blow.

Elfangor as Lucifer? Tobias as Charlie? But w almost none of her chipper musical ways. If we view earth as hell, then the yeerks are exorcists The rest of the ani gang are born in hell, which I guess would make them almost any class of demon except sinner?
@curligurl0896
@vpnwhore If Tobias is Charlie then Rachel would definitely be Vaggie. Which, personality wise, fits so freaking well.

i find the two genres so emphatically opposed to each other ( ones a comedy that borders on slapstick and the other is, well, child soldiers done very realistically with graphic body horror descriptions) i dont think theyd mesh
@enderverse87
Like the Animorphs all go to hell when they die because of the war crimes? Could be interesting. I've seen it done with Worm.
What if Animorphs was Hazbin Hotel?
Haven't seen, sorry! Anyone familiar with both willing to weigh in?

So it's like one line in #52, but I think it's canon that a controller who becomes a nothlit doesn't need kandrona anymore. Both the host and the yeerk remain in the morphed body forever, and would only need to eat what the morphed body needs to survive. So Temrash would be in control of Jake's body forever, if he stuck Jake permanently as a tiger or ant or falcon.

I feel like many people have a fundamental misconception of what unreliable narrator means. It's simply a narrative vehicle not a character flaw, a sign that the character is a bad person. There are also many different types of unreliable narrators in fiction. Being an unreliable narrator doesn't necessarily mean that the character is 'wrong', it definitely doesn't mean that they're wrong about everything even if some aspects in their story are inaccurate, and only some unreliable narrators actively and consciously lie. Stories that have unreliable narrators also tend to deal with perception and memory and they often don't even have one objective truth, just different versions. It reflects real life where we know human memory is highly unreliable and vague and people can interpret same events very differently

Do you have any examples of shows that handle speech impediment representation well? As someone with a speech impediment, it’s frustrating to constantly see it used only in the contexts of “This person is socially awkward” or “This person has something wrong with them,” etc.
Nothing comes to mind — you're right that there's tons of examples, and most suck. Like, I'll give partial credit to Umbrella Academy for Diego's stutter, Septimus Heap for Sep's selective mutism, and It for Bill's stutter/lisp. They all get the usefulness of speech path, and the way that stress or tiredness can mess you up. But all three also have "I can't be successful unless I talk normatively" crap, and both It and Umbrella Academy briefly have the stutter be the butt of a joke.
Does anyone else have examples that are actually good? Please help.
