**NOT CLICKBAIT** THE ANIMORPHS HAVE AN IKEA DATE AND GET STUFFED ANIMALS (THEY ARE HAPPY)

[pensivetrolley]

Reading Animorphs for the first time might post occasional updates if anyone cares enough to read them… Here are my brief thoughts from finishing The Invasion!

Animorphs: The Invasion was a lot of fun! I've been wanting to experience this series since I was a kid.

Something about long narratives always enticed me but for one reason or another buying 50 books just felt like... a lot! But I figure that now is as good a time as any to begin to experience these.

I'm kinda shocked at the end of this book. I knew that at one point or another one of these kids would morph more over two hours and become stuck. Like why else would the rule even be put in place? I always figured it was somewhere in the middle of the story, not in book one. So I'm shocked and excited as to where the story can go from here. In ways most books don't feel, this definitely felt like a pilot. And it is nice just to have some short easy books to read. I think the transformation aspect is more fun than I was expecting. Giving them the feelings and experiences of animals as opposed to just taking their form gives more weight to it all. Something about Tobias being the hawk and loving his experience as it resonated with me. I want wings too! I hope he enjoys his remaining life as a hawk.

Also why was Jake always talking about how pretty

Rachel is like bro....

animorphs doodles from the past month bc I've been in full hyperfixation mode since march. I read all the books and watched the (absolute chaotic masterpiece) tv adaptation, which I will hear NO slander of because it's incredible

also the scene from the illusion where ax and tobias bond made me WEEP

I would also like to formally apologise for the lack of tobias and marco art, I never got round to doing designs of them and their morphs bc I'm in the middle of moving rn but I would like to get back to it at some point

Rachel Berenson has been covered on this blog, but I remember that the asker also asked for a different character as well.

This has bothered me for a bit, so I'm gonna make a poll for him now.

Tribute Name: Jake Berenson

Age: 13-17 (throughout majority of series)

Restrictions: No use of Animorphs

If you would like to see a character aged 12-18 enter the Hunger Games, please submit them through my asks. 19+ aged character submissions are currently closed.

Please also look at my pinned post for submission rules as well as a list of previously submitted characters prior to submitting your character.

Guess who read Animorphs and is now drawing all the Animorphs (me)

I’m drawing them in narrator order so stay tuned for Rachel next

[ID: Two side-by-side digital drawings of Jake from Animorphs. They are both from the waist up In the left one, he is in his human form, a white teenage boy with brown hair in a curtains haircut and brown eyes. he is wearing a skintight white shirt. He smiles and gestures with his hands. In the right one, he is in the process of morphing into a Siberian tiger. Fur is growing on his arms and face and his hair is turning orange. His hands have become paws and the lower part of his face is forming a tiger muzzle. His eyes are rounder with catlike pupils, his brow is furrowed with determination, and he is baring his teeth. The background is a blue sky with white clouds, similar to the book covers. End ID.]

animorphs is for sure a fucking book series (affectionate)

The scene of the Animorphs voting whether or not to make David one of them might be one of the best character moments in the entire series. You can read into everyone's actions in this scene so well.

Marco sees "the bright, clear line." David hasn't seen any of them yet. He doesn't know anything. Just giving him up to the Yeerks is incredibly cruel, but it's the safest option. At the same time, how much of this is just his personal feelings? He's the only one who dissents on the basis of personality. He doesn't really like the way David acts, but is that enough reason for concern or is he just writing him off because he can't stand being around him?

Cassie is eager to go for it. She had just taken a massively risky leap of faith with Aftran, and it had actually paid off. And if trusting a Yeerk could lead to good things, surely trusting a human would turn out even better. She's already seeing the big picture: maybe David is the first of many. Maybe they could extend their force even more and give themselves the opportunity to make a bigger difference.

Rachel starts out against it. Despite their frequent disagreements, she and Marco both share that ruthless streak and often end up on the same side of heavy decisions as a result. She's the first to agree with Marco about giving David up, and the first to voice against making him an Animorph. But Cassie's argument sways her over. Cassie is probably just thinking that more people equals more power, but Rachel frames it by saying that more people means they can afford to take bigger risks (something that Marco can't help but agree with). Cassie is thinking optimistically, but Rachel sees it from a warrior's perspective.

Tobias is for it, and of course he is. David is just like Tobias was back then: no real family, no real home, and effectively a stranger to the rest of the group. He can't give up on David. He needs to have faith that things will work out, the same way they did for him (in a way). There's literally no other choice, as far as he sees it. He says Jake should make the ultimate call but clearly doesn't actually believe that, seeing as how when Jake replies that they need to put it up to a vote, Tobias immediately votes in favor of making him an Animorph.

Ax in particular is fascinating to me here because he's the one who actually suggests making David an Animorph in the first place. At the start of the series, breaking the law of Seerow's Kindness and sharing Andalite technology with humans, let alone a complete stranger, would have been completely unthinkable to him. But now he's seen just how fallible Andalites can be. He's begun to doubt the pillars of his society, and has thrown his lot in with the humans instead. He makes a very human suggestion here. It's something you'd expect Cassie or Tobias to come up with, not Ax. When the vote actually comes around, however, he votes against it. Like Rachel, he views it from a military perspective, but comes to the opposite conclusion. More Animorphs would be good to add to their ranks, but he's been in an army before and this ain't exactly one of those. A seventh member isn't enough of an added benefit, and putting a stranger in the role is too much of a wild card when they're about to undertake such an important mission.

We don't know what Jake is thinking. He never provides an opinion, only stating the facts of the situation and prodding the others for their votes. He's presumably freaking out inside, but trying to keep a calm demeanor in the face of the biggest decision they've had to make up to this point. Any weakness at this pivotal moment could skew everything, so he has to remain as neutral as possible until he can properly collect his thoughts. He's the last of the group to make his vote, and he really doesn't end up making one in the end. David wakes up, sees them, and Jake decides to bring him into the group. If David hadn't woken up there, what would Jake have chosen: Safe but cruel, or risky but optimistic? We never get to find out what was going through his mind at that exact moment, only in the aftermath.

And of course, this is all underscored by the dramatic irony of what this will eventually lead to. The group decides against inaction, but by their actions, they will commit a horror upon David arguably just as bad as the Yeerks would have. Would it have been better to leave him behind and be haunted by what they didn't do, or to have tried to save him and be haunted by what they did do?

This is a WIP for an Animorphs animatic that I've been working on for a really long time. It's based on the events of book 1. idk if I will finish it tbh burnout hitting hard.

A friend of mine has commissioned me

I love this sketch so I’m very grateful that your friend commissioned you and you agreed to it. 

A friend of mine has commissioned me to draw all the Animorphs as Andalites for an AU where morphing tech works a bit differently. This is an early attempt at Jake that I sketched while at work.
