Ever saddle your human girlfriend with the magic fingernails and ride towards the intersection of the memories of three planets? Not yet? Hm. Ah, well, I hope the story has the happy ending they deserve.

The story of Tobias' parents are SO tied up with their identities as an alien and a mortal human, I kept rotating Tobias around in my head trying to figure out how I could make him a demigod.
Then I remembered I'm dealing with the Greek Gods and the solution became crystal clear.
Even if it's by way of second-hand DNA, Apollo will absolutely adopt Tobias, no questions asked. Red-tailed hawks can have a loving, attentive parent & a bunch of sunshine siblings. As a treat.

the weird matrix world that elfangor, loren, and visser three make together is one of my favorite concepts in all of sci-fi. i mean come on, it's just such a good story prompt on its own: three different aliens are trapped in a mish-mash dimension made from their own imperfect memories of home. it looks familiar on the surface, but when they give in to that familiarity, they find that some pieces of it are missing and other pieces are just wrong. there may or may not be some greater power responsible for creating this world, and the only chance they have at escaping it is through a time vortex at the world's center, which would displace them from home temporally as well as physically. you could make an entire story out of unraveling this place. it feels like an scp horror story and i mean that in the best way possible.

What are some instances of retconning in animorphs that you have noticed? (aside from the first book)
Honestly, Animorphs is not bad. Compared to Sherlock Holmes or Percy Jackson, there's hardly any retconning at all. Compared to series like Dune or X-Men that built in-story retcon mechanisms because of the infinite overlapping retcons, Animorphs is practically airtight. Not Harry Potter or Mistborn airtight, sure, but better than any other multi-authored 20+ book series I know.
However, there are some. Ax's mention in #8 of occasional hork-bajir wars doesn't fit with Hork-Bajir Chronicles showing they have no concept of violence before andalites arrive. Cassie's line about "my niece" in #37 is not in line with her saying her parents are her only family in #49. Rachel suspects at times that Jordan's a controller (#12, #22) but in #49 Jordan's dismissed as even a potential threat.
And then there's the absolute clusterfuck of Tobias's parentage.
In #3, he says "my parents died." In #13, it's "both my folks left a long time ago." In Andalite Chronicles, when Elfangor asks about Loren: "She disappeared. When I was just little... I guess she died." In #23, he says "both my parents are dead." But also DeGroot says "Your father... who died? That may not have been your real father" implying a stepfather we never meet. After Elfangor's will it kinda falls into place, but even then...
Elfangor says he and Loren were ~14 mentally, ~18 physically, when they got to Earth, and that "when she was ready by human standards, I married her." He mentions getting multiple college degrees, but that it's only "three years later" that the Ellimist abducts him back to space. No one apparently notices he was gone — Ax has no idea Elfangor lived on Earth, and didn't notice him missing (#8), so... he time-traveled back and lived those three years twice? And no one noticed him being seven years older because... Ellimist fuckery? There's mention of Loren dating someone else after Al's "death", so at least the random step-dad is consistent. But Loren doesn't mention him in #49, so I guess she got remarried and rewidowed between Tobias's birth and his third birthday, and then she forgot him.
Anywhoo, it kind of lines up sorta if you squint, but I'm 99.9% sure that there was some degree of retcon somewhere in there.
#animorphs#tobias fangor#loren fangor#elfangor sirinial shamtul#to be honest my biggest peeve with andalite chronicles is that it almost OVER-explains things#so that the explanation just draws attention to the holes and makes its own problems rather than fixing anything#voodoo shark#as they say on tv tropes#like#the series works just fine if loren remembers elfangor up until the accident and if chapman remembers everything the whole time#neither one of them needs random ellimist-induced mindfuckery to explain their behavior#oh and it works as well if tobias's aunt (who doesn't like him and barely talks to him) just lied or dodged anytime his parents came up#we don't need the convoluted fuckery with loren having two - possibly three - disappearing husbands

Summary: After the crash landing, Elfangor finds himself on Earth, alone, the only ones knowing of his presence being the five children who saw him crash. Confronted with the choice to fight or to hide, he chooses to continue the battle.
Author: KimHoppy
Note from submitter: A great fic that asks: what if Elfangor had survived?

Back when I was like six or seven and incredibly stupid, I thought the kid on the cover of the encounter was east asian. I recently remembered this misconception and thought it would be fun to draw Tobias as if he actually was lol
ID: [a digital sketch in red of Tobias from animorphs. He is drawn in human morph from the shoulders up and slightly hunched over, with a vaguely upset expression. He is portrayed as east asian, his hair bleached light but with the roots growing out. He has freckles and is wearing headphones around his neck.] /End ID
#in my head he’s half chinese but considering his situation. being elfangor. he could really be anything#cuz loren is still white in my head so whatever dna elfangor morphed is where this came from which could be a mix of anything#my art#digital art#fanart#sketch#tobias fangor#tobias animorphs#animorphs#also I’m trying my hand at slightly more realistic proportions here I hope it looks alright

literally anytime they're alone on a mission Ax and Marco have the same dynamic as Elfangor and Loren in the Andalite Chronicles. Like, the scene with them on the Yeerk ship in Megamorphs #1 is the same villain, the same Star Trek references, the same unhinged planning on the Andalite's part... Earlier, Marco was joyriding just like Elfangor did in the Mustang. Its like... they're literally mirroring the canon married couple and I'm supposed to be like, oh, they're bros.
#shut up az#animorphs#I genuinely think that Elfangor would be so thrilled that Ax has Marco to be that for him because like#no one else on the team really fills the same role for him#someone to tease him and get him to relax#like Cassie could get him to see the emotional side of things but I think she's too respectful about it#Sometimes Andalites have to be shoved around a little bit before they let themselves be vulnerable#anyway Marco is like 500% more chaotic and ruthless than Loren is but you#know what I really think Elfangor would be like who am I to judge what Ax likes in a man#also Ax is simply more down for murder than Elfangor is at the beginning of the Andalite Chronicles so

if only ax knew that he managed to accomplish the one thing elfangor never could: eating cigarettes with wild abandon
#shh yes i know elfangor probably went through it when he morphed human too#jusy ignore that for the joke#actually loren having to reign elfangor in until he got used to taste is an incredibly funny visual#animorphs#animorphs ax#animorphs elfangor#idiot teenagers with a death wish#koolmathgames.com

First time asking here! Loren x Jake's parents?
Love it/ Hate it/ Tolerate it/ Would write it/ Have written it/ Would never write it/ Would read it/ Have read it/ Would never read it/ That would be a TRASH FIRE (affectionate)/ That would be a TRASH FIRE (derogatory)/ Squick/ Yay/ Fits with canon (affectionate)/ Fits with canon (derogatory)/ Makes no sense with canon (affectionate)/ Makes no sense with canon (derogatory)
Other: I could see Jean and Loren working really well together, because they have a similar balance of artsy-fartsy and no-nonsense. Steve is a little harder to picture, but he's also such a go-with-the-flow guy that he'd probably be fine with this arrangement.
#animorphs#shipping#loren/jean/steve#it's a shame we don't see jake's parents interacting with *each other* more#the way we do with walter/michelle and eva/peter#or the entire book's worth of elfangor/loren for that matter

First Impressions of Animorphs!
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 12.5: The Andalite Chronicles (Part 3)
Well this part is titled 'an alien dies' and we just lost all the oxygen in the airlock sooo short chapter I guess :D
This might be out of the blue but I want to know more about the real Jahar. What is she like. How's she doing
But he LIVED
Appreciate that, although they do a lot of dumb stuff in Animorphs, they also make smart and logical decisions often. Working together is the only option here, I like that they acknowledge that and don't just start fighting for no good reason
Aaaand then Elfangor just tells the Visser how the time matrix works. You dummy
I wonder why Andalites live in scoops. Seems to be a mostly outdoor area, would it being in a hole not make it prone to flooding? I guess it would keep wind out
Ooooh they've glitched the matrix. The descriptions of the sky being panels of various planets sounds exactly like a texture glitch in a videogame. They've merged all their homeworlds together...that's going to be instant chaos. Andalites charging into Yeerk territory to finish the war while humans stand to the side screaming AAAAA ALIENS
The Andalite method of eating really amuses me. I mean it makes sense! We crush food with our teeth, they crush it with hooves. Though we have to then digest it and they seem to be able to instantly get the nutrients
Ah seems they've created an entirely new reality, not actually merged their real homeworlds. Is this universe they're in the only universe now? Can you just make whole new universes with the Time Matrix...it's like a developer program
WHEEL CREATURES. Didn't do it as well as Mulefa, but still neat
Heh, humans are pretty good at throwing stuff. It's one of our special skills
So Mortrons are like hydras, if you split them in half they form two separate Mortrons, split them in half and you have four. What do you reckon the limit is? Visser Three goes up to sixty four but like...where are they getting the mass from?
Oh my god Loren is mounting the man. That's GOTTA be taboo right?? Be the equivalent of going up to a human, wrapping your arms around them and spooning them from behind. Welp Elfangor doesn't seem to mind. Ride em' cowgirl
And now he's literally munching carpet
...just had a thought. How is Elfangor fitting in this house? It's not a big one, and he manages to climb the stairs. You could not fit a horse in a house surely? Are American houses that big? But he has to be big enough for a human to ride with no problems. Hm
Time Matrix DID create a whole new universe, powered off imagination. I want one. So bad
They've been feeding the humans grass oml 😭
If the food is real, the all-acne-no-eyes guy is also real. Sad for him
A bigmac meal for $4.00/£3.00...TAKE ME BACK
This might not actually be the case for Andalites, but I wonder how a species would evolve if it needed lots of space for each individual. Humans can go real compact with our needs, we can cram so many of us into small spaces and get by (although we tend to go slightly insane when really cramped)
Now he's into being ridden. Boooooooi
...why is time accelerating towards the middle though
aaaaaaa having toenails long enough to stick out of shoes sounds PAINFUL I legit winced at this. Also hair doesn't work like that it has a maximum length
Loren: I'll hit a motherfucker with ANOTHER MOTHERFUCKER
Elfangor: That's Hot
Very climactic final battle and then the Visser just walks away. Bye dude!
🤨
Most powerful weapon in the galaxy and Elfangor just buries it in the woods. Love it
I like that he got his yellow mustang when he became human
The rules of this timeline Loren has made are pretty confusing. It had to link with the previous kidnapping and acquiring Time Matrix events so the was continuity, but also you can alter it so everyone believes she was always 18, and now this Ellimist is saying Elfangor's brother doesn't exist in this timeline? Why wouldn't he?
Dick move Ellimist. But also, this kid has Elfangor as a dad, but Elfangor's human morph is made up of several other humans blended together. So the kid actually has like...12 dads or something
WAIT IS ELFANGOR TOBIAS'S DAD???
Kind of surprising the Time Matrix didn't just get dug up considering it's now in a construction site
Damn he totally is Tobias's dad. Didn't see that coming
Loren got so fucked over by this whole thing they didn't even ask her if she would be ok with 'fixing' the timeline. Just abandoned and memories erased but I guess not completely because it drove her crazy. Sad
Well. That was a wild one! The books that explore aliens are my favourite and this one was a real stunner, I'm glad we got to meet Elfangor properly and get to know him - makes his death hit way harder now :( Cool that Tobias is technically part alien, and Ax's nephew. Lot of twists and turns in this one I had no idea where they were going to take it. #Justice for Alloran

Man, that's not... even in the top ten. Top fifty. I think Tobias' conception has stopped ranking as that weird, actually.
My favourite weird thing would be the miniature matriarchal alien species lead by the corpses of their captains.
Daily remind that animorphs exists. I used to be obsessed with the series.
Like. Religiously. I would read them.
I think I dropped off after that one book where the 'good guy' alien prince masquerades as a human and gets this other human pregnant before he dies in like the first book in the series
What weird memories of this series do you have, because I think that one's the weirdest
