animorphs

Several Animorphs House Pride icons. No need to credit me, but please make sure you credit wicked_visions for the bases. I can't emphasise this enough. I've seen uncredited versions of those bases (for different fandoms, not Animorphs) and... well, it's not that hard to put a little note next to your userpics, guys.. :)

*crosses fingers this works*

Welcome to the Animorphs season finale/premier. While the biggest basketball game ever takes place, we get to learn the secret of Elfangor's disk... and it's pretty stupid.

...because this is either Rachel snarking at Marco or Marco snarking at Rachel. I can't decide which.

The Animorphs are thrown to the other side of the galaxy, hunted by evil aliens controlled by an evil demigod... So, who wants to go shopping?

Eve and Adam

It's so exciting to see both of those names on there (rather than "K.A. Applegate").

Discuss!

One of the many, many things that 54 never got into was what really happened to the Yeerks at the end of the war.

So that's my take on what happens after the war ends and I've yet to find someone who agrees with it but that's okay. I'm used to having strange opinions.

Other thoughts on the future of the Yeerks?

Sorry to keep spamming you guys but I guess I'm on an Animorphs kick right now and this one came from discussion I read in the "I try and forget. And after awhile, the nightmares don't happen as much" thread.


The post in question is:


And the story is The Right Thing  featuring Rachel and Ax. It's my first time writing Rachel so we'll see how it went.

The Problem with Victory - Esplin 9466, once Visser Three, has always been a creature of action and when there was a war to fight and an empire to build things were good. Now that that's over, now that there's victory and he's Emperor, now there are problems. AU where the Yeerks win.

So all of the Visser Three and Alloran discussion from years ago that I was reading inspired me to try to write for Visser Three who I believe to be incapable of being happy when he's not tormenting someone. And still obsessed with Elfangor no matter how much times passes. Because really, who wouldn't be? :P

Somehow I didn't realize that this existed until yesterday when I was looking for the quote in the Hork-Bajir Chronicles about Andalites being light sleepers and I wasn't at home so I couldn't manually look it up. I came across the Hork-Bajir Chronicles re-read from 2009 instead and have been obsessively reading going through this community ever since.

I usually go by Sarah1281 but when I joined livejournal that was taken.

I've written six stories for Animorphs and reading this has given me ideas for more.

In chronological order there's:

1. The Death and Rebirth of Hope - written three years ago (so beware) and has Tom's POV of the first book.
2. Just Missed the Call - Melissa Chapman declines Rachel's invitation to go to the mall that fateful night.
3. On Moving On - Cassie tries to justify to herself and deal with her decisions at the end (I think that's non-spoilery enough, someone correct me if I'm wrong)
4. Offer of a Lifetime - the Ellimist offers a random Animorphs' fan the opportunity to be a part of the series...and they realize that that would be a terrible idea.
5. An Animorphs Christmas Carol - I write a Christmas Carol fic every year and this past Christmas was Jake's turn.
6. Idyllic - my massive, half-posted series of same-universe canon-compliant one-shots about the Berenson family. It started off with me realizing how disturbing it was that Jake never learned the second Yeerk's name and kept calling him Tom and wanting to have some more Tom stories and believing that the best thing to do when you want to read a story is to write that story. It turns out I have a lot to say about Jean, Steve, Jake, and Tom. 57 chapters posted so far out of a total of 100, updated at least once a week.

So...yeah, that's my Animorphs contribution. I look forward to getting to take part in the discussions here.

A tale of crickets, soup and awkward pauses.

It reminds me of The Diversion a little bit, when Rachel told her mom < get a grip, you have to drive >and then they all piled into the car, except they weren't in a cab then.

Also I keep thinking of Ax because of Burger King's mini cinnamon buns...the one by us even has a giant blow up Cinnabon on the roof. I can just hear someone going "Ax, it's not real...Ax, what're you doing?"

I do think he'd like the frozen ones you can get now, though the mall ones are still better than Pillsbury's. It seems like there's a lot of cinnamon bun flavored stuff now...the coffee creamer, Frosted Miniwheats...I think Cinnabon had its own cereal but not sure.

I know it's been a lot of weeks by now, but I'm going to throw out the Orff anyway

Jake gets to go to an alternate dimension where the Yeerks don't totally suck.

Note: this post mentions triggery things and comments will almost certainly contain spoilers.

On rereading or rediscovering Animorphs as an adult, how has your perception of characters (major and/or minor) changed from when you were a kid? Since I haven't read the series again, I'm not going to go too in-depth (I'll leave that to you awesome people!).
If you have too many feelings - because I suspect most of us weren't exactly philosophers at nine years old, yes? -  just pick the most important ones. XD

( Rambling under the cut )

And this comm helps too, because I pretty much read the books piecemeal, and I was too immature to really do them justice. They were really more of an entertaining escape for me (hey, I read all kinds of crap at ten - hello, Goosebumps), and none of the characters really grabbed me even then because I didn't think about them too deeply. But now I'd really love to rediscover them from a new angle. :)

Okay, so over at animorphsforum.com people have been saying that they miss the flip-book animations on the corners of the classic Animorphs books, so I thought we might want to try making a petition to get them back. I'll be updating the list of signitures every weekend. Right now the goal is 50 signatures.

The Animorphs go to the North Pole and meet Santa Claus! And by Santa Claus, I mean cloned monsters.
