Animorphs: The Predator

[brionbroadway]

gifford reading callie’s journal out loud was the most horrifying thing i’ve ever heard on naddpod, and then i listened to the short rest where murph said it reminded him of his friend reading his animorphs fanfic out loud, which is the most horrifying thing i’ve ever heard in real life

Of course the Sunhawk has to morph into a hawk!

Would any of the Animoprhs and related cast be fans of Doctor Who?

I imagine getting really uncomfortable when the episode where Tegan gets possessed by Mara comes up.

What about Stargate? I think Stargate would be canceled because it's way to close to home.

What about a Stargate crossover with animorphs??

Another crossover idea is that series already have their concept of mind control and body jacking and when a Yeerk tries to possess an already “occupied” vessel the first “guest” goes GTFO or vice versa.

Sorry but this is my meat puppet. See Yugioh

I am not up on my sci fi classics! Any folks with Whovian/Stargate/Yugioh feels willing to weigh in?

More Animoprhs thoughts this morning, coming to you live from my Tomark blog

Marco and Tobias have the exact same ACE score. Did y'all know that? Like, let's run through the list together.

Mom's dead ✅

Actively being neglected ✅

Extremely parentified ✅

Poverty ✅

Moving around a lot ✅ (Marco moves three times in two years, that'll traumatize a kid)

Alcoholic caretaker ✅

Tobias is exactly what Marco could be if he didn't have Jake, and Marco is extremely aware of that, and I think that's why he's such a dick to Tobias in the early books. He sees way too much of himself in that sad bird boy and that scares the fuck out of him

So instead of being sensitive like Tobias is, Marco leans right in to being the funny man/cold motherfucker we know him as

was that a sneaky Animoprhs reference in the ursa major video, with the angle brackets used to convene a non-standard method of speaking?

holy shit is that where I got it from

[stitchwraith-stingers]

sorry for animoprh posting ive been meaning to get into it for a year now but im so deep into the fop fixation rn so im staring at my bookmark w the books like this

[hannahhook7744]

Who is Mia in ur au ?

Based on hair, eye color, skin color, and partially on the colors of her clothes... Here are my theories:

Katrina Van Tassel and Brom Bones.

Sis Rabbit (assuming she's been turned human/is a animoprh like person who's now old enough to have a teenager during d1-d2.

Michael Darling or his brother, John, perhaps.

Charlotte La Bouff or her cousin, Max, assuming he's now old enough to have a teenage kid.

Eilonwy.

Kristoff and Anna.

Elsa.

Flora or Merryweather.

Queen Clarion, Rani, Fern, or some other fairy from pixie hallow.

One of the lost boys.

Arista or Andrina (Ariel's sisters).

Any blonde character could work again, but I think if you narrowed it down to the characters on here with blonde hair or blue eyes (or both) who like blue or pink (or maybe both) or someone who has one but a partner with the other, you could narrow it down.

You could also use her personality but that's a bit of s toss up because obviously, not every kid is as good or bad as their parents are.

First impressions of Animoprhs!

I'm listening to the Animorphs series while I work, through Animorphs Aloud - a fan made reading of the series. Here are my first impressions/random thoughts about them! Spoilers below if you haven't read them.

Book 7: The Stranger

I often think how you'd REALLY react if you were faced with something paranormal or magical, because it wouldn't just be the monster or ghost or superhero you have to contend with - but your entire knowledge of the universe flipping on it's head. Legit consider how insane you'd go if you found out monsters were *really* real. And they do this to a random person in the start of most books! Ha.

Kind of surprised they consider a human-alien relationship with any sort of seriousness. How progressive. But then there's been a few hints towards Rachel liking Tobias and he's...a bird. Rachel is very open minded.

Somehow I have my doubts Rachel will move away. The clue is the 47 books that come after this.

Man I feel for Tobias, having to spend the rest of his life as a hawk while potentially watching his friends move on. It's not like he can make new friends. Also how long does he even live? Does he have a hawk lifespan now of 10-15 years?

Rachel wants more firepower and she skips the POLAR BEARS? GIRL. Those things are fucking terrifying! Though I did do a bit of research and turns out when Polar Bears and Grizzlies compete for food it's usually the Polar Bears that leave.

Also I have a hard time believing a bear has more 'firepower' than an elephant. Bit easier to move around and get into places as a bear though.

Still can't get over the frequent use of the slang 'hooked up' to mean meeting. Very different meaning nowadays.

The mental image of them fitting pretty much a centaur into a dressing room is very funny.

Wow. Stopping time definitely blindsided me. This Ellimist is like a god?? Was not expecting that.

The descriptions when the Ellimist is showing off the beauty of earth make me very sad I will likely not get to experience it. It's so sad to know coral reefs exist out there, beauty unparalleled, and you can't simply go and see them. Not without money. It's a cruel joke that we're placed on such an amazing planet and yet how little of it we'll see.

Man this is a genuinely tough decision. I really like Cassie's perspective, that humans are now the endangered animals potentially rejecting the one thing that could save them. Honestly if what seemed like a literal god told me the fight is unwinnable I'd probably give in and tell them to take me to a new planet.

Aaaand now the kids are getting eaten alive. I LOVE the amount of traumatising scenarios in these books. Main reason I started em. Feel a bit bad for the Taxon, imagine eating some innocuous snack and it swells up and bursts you from the inside.

Ax has a thing for cutting off people's arms.

You're the second largest carnivore on land Rachel, Polar Bears got you beat.

Also Rachel totally just murdered a bunch of human people.

Now...time travel? Hm not a big fan of time travel.

Damn the Yeerks invested in free, superfast and wide-covering public transport? I'd vote for them.

This is why I don't like time travel. Is it deterministic? Can it be changed? Boggles the mind. The implication is they refuse the Ellimist's offer and stay and fight, and lose, and Rachel becomes a controller. But why would Ax being there mean the future has changed? Did future-Rachel lie about there being six humans to Visser-Three? Why?

PFFFF I'm sorry but as horrifying as the idea of them killing and consuming Tobias after being infected and turned into controllers is, it's also like Disney-level villainy.

If this is the future and it can be changed, why can't Visser-Three kill them? Sure he wouldn't have controller Rachel so the future would be different but the goal of invading would work?

Well this is looking bleak.

I wonder who is keeping Ellimists in check that they even need rules.

Surprisingly quick and efficient mission! And that's the end of that one. A bit confusing, but I wonder if the Ellimist stuff will get clearer later on.

[hostilemuppet]

sure, animoprhs had fucked up shit in it, but written depictions of violence are a lot different from actual drawn blood and gore. homestuck is NOT for children at ALL and they shouldn't be reading it

genuinely 😭😭😭 like im pretty sure theyre joking around but. i dont think its really that funny. i wouldnt want my children watching south park either and no amount of "animorphs also has violence" can change that

[sarifel-corrisafid-ilxhel]

The autism has gripped my BRAIN like a SPIDER MONKEY so yeah I'm gonna do a rewrite for animoprhs. I'm here because I have a question. Did they cut it from the first book that you could share emotions or something?

Hello! Elfangor's ability to share emotions and images was never retconned. He can still do that. We still don't know if Ax can, or if it's an Old Wise Andalite Trick that Ax is too young to understand. However, the scene where Jake is able to thought-speak out of morph was retconned and did not appear in later reprints. The only time the Animorphs can thought-speak as Humans is when they are in morph.

Good luck on your rewrite!

Between Yellowjackets and Animoprhs you’ve been spending a lot of quality time with traumatized morally ambiguous 90s kids, huh? I’ve gotta give that series a read!

Morally ambiguous 90s trauma is my bag! Apparently. I do not know what this says about me, and I will not be looking closer.

For real, though, the 90s is such an interesting time to design these situations around cuz like. You have to work so much harder at communication, you can't just lean easily on phones or even the internet being what it is today, there was more of a sense of like...wilderness just to BEING a teenager out and about dealing with crisis. I think my youthful obsession with Buffy falls in a very similar vein. Just like. What if you were young, and horrible things were happening, and you've got the early vestiges of technology, but not in a way that can actually save you? (I also, y'know, am a 90s kid, so that's probably some of it.)

HELLO PEOPLE OF ANIMORPHS TUMBLR

IM BACK AGAIN TO PRESENT ANOTHER EPISODE (SACRAFICE) OF THAT ONE ANIMATION THING NONE OF YOU PROBABLY REMEMBER!

So

IF YOU LIKE ANIMOPRHS, SLUGS, WAR, OLD PEOPLE, AND DAD BODS (???) CHECK OUT THE NEWEST INSTALLMENT OF MY WIP SERIES WISTFUL WATERS! AHAHAH

[cursedgaysuit]

I really want buttons to come back in the crews hour of need and turn briefly into his human form, animoprh style

[chansaw]

Thank you for humoring my fascination with the yj animoprhs au :) Could you talk more about Taissa and how she's affected by everything happening? How does she reconcile her need for control and solutions with such a complicated and chaotic (not to mention seemingly endless) war? Does her fugue self make an appearance? Thank you!

thank you for humoring ME by enabling this nonsense! <3

anyways, happy taissa tuesday to you and yours. dear, sweet, precious tai. constantly girlbossing too close to the sun.

the thing about tai is that she likes to stuff all her problems into a box and shove them into a dark corner and pretend they don't exist.

taissa likes to think she's got it all under control. her peers elected her student council secretary, and her soccer coach passed the captainship to her after jackie was declared presumed deceased. she's maintaining a 4.0 GPA, and howard university, her dream school, is offering her a handsome scholarship and a position on their first division ncaa soccer team. oh, and she's running military tactics for an underground guerilla war on top of all that. she's doing fine. no, not just fine, she's doing GREAT. you'd think a war would be a natural habitat for a control freak, and that's probably what tai would say if someone asked.

she reads sun tzu's the art of war from cover to cover, and then she reads it again. then, she moves on to the works of machiavelli. she studies military treatises from every era, and she jots down all her thoughts alongside her notes on defensive and offensive soccer formations. she tries to convince herself that leading a team of soccer players and leading a team of soldiers aren't entirely two different ballgames.

sometimes, after practice, she and van will rendezvous in a locker room shower stall. van will press her against the cold tile wall, and tai will card her fingers through van's matted hair, and neither of them will say anything after they're done making out.

the problems can't stay in the box forever. her grades start slipping. she fumbles what should've been an easy pass during a game. she can't avoid the nightmares that wait for her every time she closes her eyes. if they botch a mission and something goes wrong, they get even worse. she's slipping, and she's too proud to ask for help.

she thinks nobody notices, but van does. it's the littlest things that she notices, like when a little part of her blouse isn't perfectly tucked into her jeans. or during ben's health class, when she starts scribbling in the margins of her notebook instead of actually taking notes - that's when van knows something's absolutely not right, and the minute the bell rings she drags tai towards the locker room.

"van, what? we can't be here - do this - not right now -"

"that's not why we're here." van locks the door to the shower stall behind her and folds her arms across her chest. "you can't keep going like this, tai. we have to talk about it."

and finally, the walls start to crumble.

okay now that THAT'S out of my system, onto the other question: i am not sure if i will be incorporating Other/Fugue Tai into this story yet. if i do, want to make sure i handle it right. sorry i cant give you a better answer than that!

anyways. thanks for the ask!!! i could literally talk about this au all day
