The enemy of my enemy is also my enemy, because they're both jerks.

Doodles
Puddle of random doodles of various alien critters.
Yeerk, Andalite, Visser Three slinked in there, Helmacron, Warmaker Iskoort, Vanarx.
I...wasn’t sure what colours the Iskoort should be, I really need to reread 26.

So I’ve been doing an Animorphs Book Club this year, and we just got through the absolute gauntlet that is Books 19-23 With Bonus Hork-Bajir Chronicles. (For those of you who are familiar with the series but not numbers, that’d be Cassie and Aftran having philosophical debates in the wilderness, the David Trilogy, and Tobias being confronted with the idea he might ACTUALLY have a relative who cares about him, only to have it cruelly yanked away.) The club-runners had mentioned that this week would be going back to comedy mode. (Poor, poor Cassie, who got ONE really fantastic book to shine in 19, one that was at least plot-critical in 4, and some good moments especially outside her POV but has mostly gotten pretty mediocre one-off comedy books for her POV so far.) Somehow, that did not prepare me for JUST HOW Wacky this book is.
… Yeah, I’m going to assume the Helmacrons aren’t going to be recurring characters with which to define Cassie’s arc going forward.
#animorphs#(I know from spoilers it WILL get better for Cassie later on but for now. Helmacrons. oooh wacky.)#(like by now everyone’s CHARACTER arc is shaping but where Tobias and Ax and Marco all have consistent STORY arcs as well#and Jake has at least ALWAYS had Tom as a plot hook even in books that aren’t Tom-focused#Rachel and Cassie haven’t really gotten story arcs of their own yet… or rather Cassie’s has just started#so where Marco can get a goofy plot about making sharks smart so they can be Controllers it at least features Visser One#meanwhile Cassie gets horse controllers and Rachel gets a crocodile allergy and neither of these is all that relevant to anything.)#and like. I love Cassie and Rachel. 19 was possibly the best book so far and if it wasn’t 22 was.#Cassie gets great points whenever they debate and I love that we’re seeing her be manipulative as a darker side to her empathy#Rachel’s capacity for violence and the fact everyone ELSE saw it in her while she only just confronted it last book is excellent#but their plots keep being pretty mediocre at best. No one could salvage the Helmacrons I don’t think.

Background Practise
I wanted to practise background drawing. A certain Helmacron is having none of it, she just HAS to be in the picture if her ship is.
OC Helmacron, she is generally known by those she meets in the roleplay she’s in as “The Little Crazy Helmacron”. Hence the blog name.
#animorphs#animorphs fanart#helmacron#helmacrons#my art#she's called that because she is the only surviving member of her crew#so she has all their memories and personalities in mind#which makes for some hilarious shenanigans

And they're a fungible species, so therefore unkillable!
<Sentimental Andalite fool,> Visser Three said. <You can't kill a Helmacron. They're a fungible species. Kill one and its mind, if you can call it a mind, is absorbed into another. They never die. Even when they're dead, they're not dead.>
So fucking wild. I love these microscopic Loony-Tunes-embodying motherfuckers! 😁
What does it even mean to be a fungible species??? It's like the inverse of a hive mind?? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Instead of a single mind being diffused across multiple bodies, Helmacrons are a single body diffused across multiple minds?
I guess Pixar's "Inside Out" is the closest analogy:
Except instead of only 5 little guys inside the head, there's some innumerable number.
And instead of Sadness, Joy, Disgust, Fear, and Anger; the only flavours Helmacrons come in are Wrath, Pride, and Contempt. 😂
I absolutely love the Helmacrons. They’re just so weird, but the right kind of weird, the kind of weird that fits right in with the rest of the messed-up Animorphs universe, along with evil Atlantis, time-travel, and whatever the Iskoort had going on.
They’re these tiny little ant creatures who only show up when it is the exact worst moment. They argue about everything. All of their leaders are dead, and not only do they not see anything wrong with this, they have this weird meta knowledge that their leaders are completely useless and their only function is to be used as bargaining chips. They are so absolutely full of themselves, but most of that confidence is earned because they just keep succeeding despite all odds.
They’re the only species in the universe to have shrinking tech! They suck so much that they make Visser freakin’ III team up with the Animorphs! They go on a Magic School Bus trip inside Marco! The only reason they need the morphing cube is to charge their ship.
Gah, I just love the little buggers.

Lower Decks's approach to villainy seems to be "outwardly cute/silly but actually monstrous"; Badgey, the Pakleds, Peanut Hamper, and Moopsy all fit this pattern, so I assume that the mysterious new threat that they're teasing will be, like, the Star Trek universe version of the Helmacrons.

I'm talking about Hork-Bajir again with my BFF, and look, I love them. They're honestly one of the most impressive alien races in all of Animorphs.
They know three languages! They're pretty fast and very strong! They're mostly not inquisitive, curious people, but that's OK! You don't have to be!
They somehow persist after YEARS of brutal slavery, and losing their home, losing each other, suffering a *chemical weapon* in the form of a quantum virus, and attempted cultural genocide!
The Hork-Bajir are amazing resilient people, and they also are just, you know, guys. A race of himbos. But being "considered big and dumb" and actually being those things are two different things.
They're not toddlers or children, they're alien immigrants, who are mind-control slaves, so simply existing is very difficult.
(There's a LOT OF COOL ALIENS in Animorphs! Like the Leeran, the Chee, and the Helmacrons, but I readily attached to the Hork-Bajir very early on, and said, "THESE GUYS".)
