Strange and offputting goat

How would things change if the time limits switched? Yeerks need kadrona every two hours (so way more portable generators or have them installed in yeerk run building bathrooms maybe? ) But the Animorphs can stay in morph for up to three days (way more surveillance opportunities/longer battles...)

I think that in a world where yeerks need kandrona every two hours, the invasion can't happen like in canon. We know a kandrona generator is "the size of a small car" and that yeerk pools don't work without it (#7). The yeerks might have to take a few decades and improve kandrona technology (i.e. #41) and then invade Earth, because an invasion would be too risky without that tech.

That said, the yeerks are fleeing the andalites as much as they are colonizing planets — the andalites control their homeworld, part of why they're stealing everyone else's. So maybe the yeerks try to make do, for lack of time. Probably they'd equip humans with thermoses of kandrona à la AniTV, and then help controllers create excuses to slip out every two hours. The thermoses might have to be refilled often, but there's a system for that in canon.

However, as anyone who's ever raised an infant can tell you, humans do not function well if their sleep is constantly interrupted every two hours. So lots of tired/confused controllers. And all kinds of other issues — work shifts with an "on" component, long tests, driving really far, needing a security team 24/7, being in hospital, etc. It'd preclude taking most important people as hosts, including anyone who regularly flies on airplanes. Animorphs can go for weeks without morphing, and can pop briefly out of morph in a pinch (even underwater and in the yeerk pool as needed). Yeerks literally die without kandrona, and they can't leave their hosts unattended for even a second; Mr. Pardue gets like 10 seconds of freedom in #8 makes a huge mess.

Ergo, I don't think they could pull off an invasion. There are too many humans with too much weaponry to launch an open attack from Day 1, but a quiet attack won't be able to get those with social power. And it'd run up against a thousand instances of (for instance) Jean and Steve taking Tom to deprogramming therapy because he hasn't been sleeping and has been carrying a thermos everywhere for weeks so clearly SOMETHING is wrong. So the yeerks are already quite underpowered, before we touch the issue of the andalites being wildly overpowered in this universe.

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.

ARCANE VIKTOR PONY MERCH SPOILERS

If you want to know what this is but don’t want to see spoilers, I basically just made an Animorphs cover with Arcane Viktor morphing into Tokidoki Horse Viktor

I think this might be my best animorphs fan art ever

not to post about animorphs but tobias is very much a link situation where its like. you can think of him as a trans man and you can think of her as a trans woman and you can think of them as nb and all of them are true. but if ur thinking of him as a cis guy you are incorrect <3

I am Tobias. I'm a normal kid, I guess. Or used to be. - #3: The Encounter, Page 1

My name is Tobias, and I am human. Partly. Most of my mind is human. At least I think it is. - #13: The Change, Page 1

I am not human. I was human once. I was born a human. There are human characteristics within me. And I can become a human for two hours at a time. But I am not human. - #23: The Pretender, Page 1

What's something you always wanted to write into your Eleutherophobia fic that you just never had a spot for?

David. Love him as a character, even if I hate him as a person. But if I were to put him in the series, then:

This'd presumably have to involve him making some kind of deal with Crayak. And I don't want Crayak or the Ellimist in my fic.

The consequences for everyone's reputation would be massive and catastrophic. At minimum Rachel would get canceled by the internet. At maximum, the idea of charging all six kids with war crimes would suddenly be back on the table.

I have no idea what I'd do with him after the first scene or two of him interacting with the Berensons. Killing him would be inexcusable. But if he lives, he's going to do everything from rob banks to stalk Rachel to charge Jake with attempted murder.

Either he's no threat at all (because he's still stuck as a rat) or he's a life-ruining level of threat (because he's not stuck as a rat) to Jake. There is no in-between.

That said, I'd dearly love for him to interact with Tom at some point. Just long enough for them to get into a snake-measuring contest. And then for them both to discover that king cobras aren't cobras; king cobras are called that because they eat cobras.

andalite? more like EMOlite >:(

i wanted to share my updated web layout, since tumblr's trying to move away from the profile sites and onto the boring little blogs in the dashboard :)

i'm still using the same template i was before, but now i have a little floatie of visser three (which i commissioned from a mutual as a birthday present to myself) and i've managed to make it look even more outdated... which is my goal. after all, animorphs takes place in the era of geocities.

eventually i'll update it to something a little more personalized, a little more over the top, but for now? i think it's pretty cute :)
