#Alloran

[brothermouse-skeleton]

Some Animorphs head canon that doesn't affect anything but I would include if I was ever in charge of bringing those teenage war criminals victims to the screen:

Elfangor wears a jacket and stands contra-posto (putting weight on one leg and taking it off another) making him different from other Andalites who wear nothing and keep weight evenly on all four legs. His time on earth has made him see the value of pockets.

Most Andalites keep their arms close to their chest (T-Rex style) and their tails curled up to their backs. Visser 3 keeps his arms away from his body and his tail swinging low to the ground, like a Hork-Bajir. He does this first out of habit, having had mostly Hork-Bajir hosts, but he keeps doing it to torment Alloran and keep him submissive.

The more time you spend in a morph the more that morphs mannerisms bleed into your own. Near the end Rachel starts lumbering like a bear, Marco beats his chest, Jake will pace like a caged tiger, and Cassie will occasionally whine like a wolf, when human Tobias will stare at you and preen his hair.

Ax will have a weird relationship with the previous point. He develops human mannerisms when an Andalite but shows Andalite mannerisms when he's human. He can never seem to get it quite right.

Human controllers smile just a little too much. They also sometimes get distracted by sensory things. They'll stare at the way light refracts off a window pane, or subconsciously rub their hand against an interesting texture. They play music a little too loud, and tend to drown their food in hot sauce.

Whenever we see the Chee without their holograms, we see markings and old stickers all over their bodies. Like a child drew all over them.

The Chee will always introduce you to whatever dog is near by but that gets weird because....

The Chee give their dogs the wildest names because they've been naming dogs for millennia and they're not going to reuse names so with a very serious face they'll introduce you to The Throgolizer, Space Cadet Cheeseburger, and the Right Goodly Lord Paphershinerpeppinpeppershireson.

The free Hork-Bajir get it in their heads that if they're on earth they need to adopt earth culture. First they start wearing clothes. They get a bunch of stuff from a thrift store dumpster but do not understand how clothes work. Like not at all. They wear pants as hats and like to put shoes on their blades. Toby is the only one who understands fashion. She's adopted a sort of hip-hop bad girl style that leaves Rachel conflicted.

Ax fixed up an old TV for the free Hork-Bajir and that's where they get most of their understanding of earth culture. Because of this a lot of them will misquote pop culture stuff and they have started screaming whenever someone enters a room (they're still working on understanding the subtle differences between screaming and applause). They're big fans of Seinfeld, even though they don't understand any of it.

Toby has been experimenting with breakdancing in her free time. Her handle is T-body and she keeps getting her blades stuck to the floor.

I hadn't realized Alloran was described as dainty and small for an andalite I'm dead! Still kinda love the guy, I've been obsessed since picking animorphs back up again. And yeah Sgt. Hartmann fits for a voice like you said in the other ask. I know he is controlled by Visser 3 through the series for the most part, but I can't help but get wet cat energy from him sometimes with how shitty it'd be for decades having a yeerk control you, the humiliation alone and not able to see your kids grow up or hug your wife. I know he committed atrocities but just he's been through the horrors and I just wanna give him a blanket and a warm mug to hold. Like I wanna hug him even though he'd probably just whap me with his tailblade and give me a confused look.

Yes! He is the ultimate wet cat problematic fave. He does all the atrocities, he has all the atrocities done to him, he's the living embodiment of everything wrong with the war, he deserves a nap and a hug, he deserves to be dismembered by hork-bajir, he's perfect.

Also: it's worth noting that the human Animorphs describe him as "dainty-looking" the first time they see Visser Three. We don't really see Ax describe him that way. And the human narrators pretty much always comment on how small and pretty and graceful and "almost delicate-looking" (#1) first Elfangor and then Ax look to them. So Visser Three could look dainty to humans and be big and strong by andalite standards. There's also the cover of Visser, for what that's worth, where they clearly based at least part of the airbrushed painting of Alloran on an image of a very muscular human:

As @warriorlid14 said:

Bigger than Ax. Smaller than Gafinilan. Hope this helps 👍

And that's about all that's canon.

The Andalites

[praxcrown5]

More (old) Animorphs fanart. I was going through an art phase where I was combining traditionally colored art with digital backgrounds. Looking back on it 10+ years later, it's cringe...

In hindsight, I should have done the mortrons traditionally. I'm proud of the patchwork sky, tho...

[if-you-are-tired-clap-your-hands]

Eyo Guess who came back from the dead

Yeah I know no one listens to Hamilton today but I've read the andalite chronicles 5 times now and cried much more and thought of them on this song and now you got to cry about them too

A bit of rambling about the video under the cut

I wanted to create a cool conversation between elfangor and alloran to switch to elfangor having the same conversation with Tobias

But guess what ? My pencils broke and so did my motivation to do the rest of the song sorry

Also. I love Loren and elfangor sooo much in that book they are so cute so I had to put her in the video as well

I'm not really sure about the thumbnail of the video cause it's the first time I do a serious one but it's past midnight where I live and school is coming up fast and here I am

I genuinely hope you like it !

Hi I'm here to give you the most niche crossover you've ever seen

I would love any advice from either side of the fandom, it's been a very long time since I've written. I credit my dear friend Rat for drawing this for me

So far there are three chapters of set up, but I plan on writing the juicy parts soon

[hottvisser69]

Visser 3: Alloran, have you ever had gay andalite sex?

Alloran, offended: ??? No!!

Visser 3, looking at Elfangor: Well, you're about to.

[joemerl]

This was no—vecol. This guy was massive. Bigger than any Andalite I’d ever seen. Bigger than Ax’s brother, War Prince Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul. Bigger than Aloth-Attamil-Gahar. Bigger even than Alloran-Semitur-Corrass, host body to Visser Three.

I do not buy that Marco remembered all those Andalites' full names, he clearly had to ask Ax before writing this part.

Last night I dreamt I suddenly discovered a new Animorphs book in which, within a day of the war ending, the Andalites court martialed Ax for giving the kids the power to morph despite a) him lying about doing it, it was Elfangor and b) it won them the war. If he lost he'd have his tail removed and sent into exile.

It was mostly written from Alloran's POV acting as Ax's defense, but with Toby and Loren chapters, and was about him having to confront just how horrible he had been during the war.

It was beautiful, widely considered one of the best in the series, and I woke up deeply disappointed to realise that this book does not exist

I'd love to make more Andalite dolls if there's any demand for them

How do you think the Andalites found out Alloran had been taken?

I've always assumed that — given his entire personality — Visser Three put out a press announcement trumpeting his capture to the whole Electorate and declaring the war won in the yeerks' favor. That man does not grasp subtleties like careful use of intel or attempted infiltration.

Crackship Thought;

Post-war Alloran/Naomi

I dunno why

Mr.Stone-Cold-Ruthless-Alien-Killing-Machine and High-Standards-Tenacious-Lawyer-Mom? They can insult people together. They can be dry and witty and argue all day.

[quantumvaudeville]

It was a pleasure working on this one!! Thanks for giving me the freedom to get experimental, and I'm so glad you like how it turned out!!

@quantumvaudeville drew me an Alloran inspired by those medieval tapestries of unicorn hunts. Gosh!

I do so love how varied Andalite redesigns can get, and the fact that at a few points humans in the series who half-glimpse one think they could be unicorns. In the first several books the Animorphs all describe Visser Three's host body as being dainty and delicate, too.
