what if someone wrote a book and the plot was basically amazing and the characters were awesome and at the end of the book, you’re dying to know what happens, all you see is a ripped page and the author actually did it on purpose and you’ll never know what happens because all the other published copies are like that too
calm down satan
Did you mean: Animorphs?
Andalite print with four buttons, available in my big cartel store.
Remember when all we argued about was boy bands and fashion?
I think once a year I just randomly get hit with lots of feelings about Animorphs. The breakdown of this friendship in the latter half of the series doesn’t get talked about all that much, but man. Man.
And now, here is a bit of Animorphs evangelism for you. Spoilers below; mostly super vague, but many can be guessed at if you’re at all familiar with the characters.
HI YOU GUYS LEMME TELL YOU ABOUT
- that time the bad guy literally eats the good guy (wait, that totally happens in the first book)
- that time a classmate tried to kill them all in cold blood, but not before he kills one of their cousins, throws the body down an elevator shaft and tries to steal his identity (#21)
- that time we have an alternate universe that opens with all the animorphs as fascists or imprisoned and their country is leading a genocidal war (MM #3)
- that time an animorph spent an entire book plotting the murder of his mother, whom he loves (#30)
- that time an animorph is captured then physically and mentally tortured to the point he defecates on himself and starts hallucinating (#33)
- that time a romantic relationship came to an end because one stopped the other from killing a family member (#50)
- that time they used a bunch of disabled kids as a diversion/cannon fodder (#53)
- that time an animorph gets sent on a suicide mission to kill a family member (#54)
- that time everyone got
a happy endingPTSD foreverThings the good guys do in Animorphs: lie, steal, cheat, vandalize, grand theft auto, take hostages, threaten the lives of innocents, mass murder, and attempt genocide. And eternal angst over all of this.
PS these kids are 13-16 for the duration of the series! 8D
A good portion of our most recent podcast revolved around the heartbreak that is Cassie and Rachel’s relationship.
David is a dangerous little shit. We stretch it into 38 minutes of talking about heartwrenching feels.
Guys. This is the best Animorphs vid I have ever seen.

0:06 a butterfly in a forest; upside-down shot of shadows of some people walking along a sandy beach. Or where we live.
0:10 a crowded school corridor (Jake stands in their midst, looking straight at us); space thick with stars and dust. The thing you should know is that everyone is in trouble.
fade to five abstract silhouettes. Yeah. Even you. [fade to black]
