Animorphs Shorm Time

they should invent a body that feels normal to be inside of

Tobias-core

The fact that this is completely incomprehensible to me makes it funnier than if I could understand it

skill issue. i understand it completely

We live in the brief but glorious time where we can understand and laugh at this dayenu

i have such a profound hate for stories that go 'what if just some guy like literally just some guy was thrown into these horrible circumstances with huge stakes' and then take it back and go 'haha he is not just some guy, he's the specialest little boy in the planet, last in a long line of specialest little boys, it was in his blood all along'

Such love for stories that go 'what if some guy was the specialest little boy on the planet and thrown into these horrible circumstances with huge stakes' and then go 'actually you were just some guy all along, they lied about you being special because it was convenient. But you're in the situation now so buck up, Some Guy.'

what about stories that go "what if some poor random kids were thrown into awful circumstances with huge stakes" and then it turns out God put them in those circumstances because it was one of the only ways He could get a slight advantage over The Devil

“why do i like whump and body horror?” i ask, ignoring the suspiciously k. a. applegate-shaped figure looming over my childhood

People don’t even say w00t anymore.

animorphs does not get enough credit for its innovation in the field of platonic willing-manipulation dynamics… making peace with being used, using your friends right back, doing it because it’s the only way, doing it because you’re desperate, doing it because you love them, accepting it when and because you trust them, accepting it when and because you don’t trust yourself… strengthening your connection through it like a really disturbing friendship bracelet… loving each other fiercely in and between these moments, caring so, so much for each other, seeking each other’s company to laugh and play and rest... ignoring the weight of it when you can, feeling it full force when you can’t, wearing you down, wearing you down all the time, just another pane of plexiglass separating you from notions of normal, living in that violent dissonance, your whole adolescence in it.

Animorphs is the series for anyone who wishes cain and abel had a will-they won’t-they thing going on for the chronological duration of the bible
