Other: They're so good to each other, and they're so bad for each other. They love each other, they pull each other into the war, they ruin their own lives for each other.

The CW's Animorphs

I started this back in August to celebrate me finally getting a copy of my favorite MM book and had no idea that once everything comes together it would be the funniest drawing I've ever done.

Anyway, this is the last drawing of 2024, here's hoping I can draw more next year. Take care and happy new year, everyone.

marco in a Cassie, Jake, Rachel, Tobias, or ax book: “ha ha Jerry Springer would have a field day with our group we’re so dysfunctional with bird boy and ax-man the alien. all the girls want me like Snackwell Devils Food cookies. I’m not short I’m fun sized, Xena Warrior Princess.”

Marco in a Marco book: “on they came. And I didn’t care. I didn’t care. I wanted battle. I wanted pain. And I wanted to inflict pain. I wasn’t the calm, emotionless shark. I was a boy who’d watched his mother die. Again.”

i drew the boys on the opposite page but they didn't come out as well so i'm just posting the girls. I'm reading the separation right now and it's by far the most batshit insane/stupid book in a while, it's awesome.

Yeah, about your boyfriend? Well you know how he's been unwanted and ostracized by everyone who ought to have cared about him? Wellllll he also just watched his secret alien dad die right before his alien dad gave him the morphing power an- you know what, actually, long story short: he's a bird now. He's just...stuck like that. Yeah I mean he's stuck stuck. We might be able to fix him if we got a space goose from the edge of time and space involved but, honestly? I wouldn't hold my breath.

one thing that I love about your eleutherophobia fics (among many many things) is that, despite being free of a Yeerk haunting his mind, Tom has now unwittingly replaced that with a reader listening to every thought and memory that he cares to share with us through the first person point of view. He’d be mortified if he ever broke the fourth wall ;)

thanks for your lovely writing and blog! definitely part of what’s keeping me going in these very weird times

Thank you! And yeah, I think a lot about the unique narration style in Animorphs, because I'm trying to imitate it. There's always an awareness that the characters are telling a story �� the books open with the narrator going "I can't tell you my last name", and Marco especially will use imperatives like "don't tell anyone I said that." Clearly you is the reader, and each of the kids is meant to be aware that the reader is there.

There are some fascinating hints (handwaving Jake's line in #53) about who each narrator considers their audience. The Chronicles all state outright that each is an account of oneself (X) consciously crafted for one particular audience: Elfangor's talking to Tobias, Aldrea and Dak to Seerow Jr., Visser One to the Council (and Eva), and Toomin to Rachel. Ax says that he's narrating for his fellow andalites, so that they can better understand Earth (#8). Jake implies he's narrating for his great-grandkids: "I'll need to buy a footlocker" (#31). Tobias at one point implies he's talking to his imagined therapist (#23), but I also think you could argue that he's talking to the Ellimist (#13) or his dad (#33).

The others are a little trickier. Cassie seems to have Jake's same educational bent, but I'd argue she's trying to teach about the biology rather than the ethics of the war. Marco is probably talking to a kid his own age who thinks they're reading a sci fi novel. He's defensive ("call me Mr. Ruthless" as he feels empathy for baby seals), he's misdirecting ("now you know how I got a blowhole" instead of clarifying his role in the war), and he's desperate to impress ("I'm slightly not tall"). But he also references the reader "vegging out" and "watching TV." Rachel? I'd argue Rachel is talking to her own adult self. She doesn't care what others think of her, but she cares a lot about living with herself. She's trying to define who she is and who she wants to be, more than anyone else on the team.
