used to think it terribly silly (and kinda funny) when fantasy or sci-fi stories would have people refer to major recent historical events as The Flood or The Incident or The Revolution, and im sure historians fucking hate that because it's not helpful or descriptive, but we sure do be calling it The Pandemic

Happy Moon Landing Eve! Remember to leave out milk and cookies for Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, and don’t let Michael Collins convince you to prank NASA!
okay just some background. the megamorphs books consist of four companion books to the main animorphs series, and unlike most of the main series, in which each book is told from the perspective of one of the animorphs, megamorphs books are told from the perspectives of all of them. each of them get a few chapters in each book to tell their side of the story.
in the main series, there's a "narration cycle," in which the perspective characters' books go in a specific order. Jake -> Rachel -> Tobias/Ax -> Cassie -> Marco. this is true for most of the series. megamorphs books don't have a narration cycle; rather, the person most relevant to the story at that time is the one to narrate it. it's definitely a smart way to write it. it also leads to unequal perspective distribution, which I'm not dunking on at all — I actually think that in some cases it's funny.
percentages/statistics of each book's character distribution (and with all four books together) under the cut!
MEGAMORPHS 1: THE ANDALITE'S GIFT
42 chapters in total.
Jake: 7 chapters
Rachel: 12 chapters
Tobias: 3 chapters
Ax: 5 chapters
Cassie: 6 chapters
Marco: 9 chapters
ok. looks like rachel was REALLY talkative. and tobias was sleeping. honestly? good for him! heeeere's a pie chart to put that into perspective:
MEGAMORPHS 2: IN THE TIME OF DINOSAURS
37 chapters in total.
Jake: 7 chapters
Rachel: 6 chapters
Tobias: 8 chapters
Ax: 4 chapters
Cassie: 7 chapters
Marco: 5 chapters
note that this isn't counting the little afterword at the end, which tobias narrates, but tobias DOES get his time to shine here! go tobias! makes up for mm1 for sure.
pie chart:
MEGAMORPHS 3: ELFANGOR'S SECRET
41 chapters in total.
Jake: 4 chapters
Rachel: 7 chapters
Tobias: 8 chapters
Ax: 5 chapters
Cassie: 11 chapters
Marco: 6 chapters
jake with the least amount of chapters here! to be fair, he was killed off halfway through the book.
pie chart:
MEGAMORPHS 4: BACK TO BEFORE
30 chapters in total.
Jake: 9 chapters
Rachel: 3 chapters
Tobias: 6 chapters
Ax(imili): 6 chapters
Cassie: 5 chapters
Marco: 1 chapter
MARCO. GETS. ONE. CHAPTER. AND THEN HE STRAIGHT UP DIES. i know I'm talking in all caps here but i'm not by any means mad! i actually think this is very funny — and it's the reason I did this whole thing in the first place! on my first read of this book, i was noticing the lack of marco chapters — i notice the lack of marco everywhere, actually, considering that he's my favourite character — and wondered if he was the one with the least amount of chapters in ANY megamorphs book. hence these statistics.
but we'll find that out soon. for now, the pie chart:
okay. now that we've done each book individually ... let's put them all together, shall we?
MEGAMORPHS
150 chapters in total.
Jake: 27 chapters
Rachel: 28 chapters
Tobias: 25 chapters
Ax: 20 chapters
Cassie: 29 chapters
Marco: 21 chapters
and there you have it! Marco is NOT in fact the animorph with the least amount of megamorphs chapters in total; ax is! and cassie's got the most.
in a way, these percentages really make a lot of sense when you think about it. i'd always noticed that the ax chapters seem to come a lot later in the books than most of the others. and three out of four megamorphs books have something to do with time fuckery; it makes sense that cassie's involved a lot! despite nap time, tobias is saved by dino infodumping in mm2, among other things. rachel's not particularly prominent in most of the books, but she's got TWELVE WHOLE CHAPTERS in mm1! Marco got his time to shine in mm1 with his awesome driving skills and didn't really get many chapters in the books after that, and Jake was going pretty steadily until he got shot in mm3. just goes to show: you might get a chance to narrate some more chapters if you just don't die 🤷

Still never gonna be over the fact that it took Maes Hughes one night to figure out the truth about Amestris when it took the rest of the cast half the series
These tags by parkersgeorg are necessary to include actually 💅
#NO BUT THE THING IS! #he figured it out because the army was SHIT AT HIDING IT #he worked in intel! he had access to ALL the necessary elements #to understand it quickly #but that also meant he was under heavy surveillance himself #which is why his efforts to understand the truth were immediately noticed #and since he knew the army was rotten to the core there was no reason for the homunculi to 1) not try to kill him 2) bother being stealthy #lust tried to kill him IN HQ #and the thing is. it was clever of him to leave and try calling mustang from a phone booth #so the line wouldn't be tapped #but like... he'd already tried calling mustang and they knew that. #so had envy not caught up to him before he made the call #they wouldve assumed he'd managed to reach mustang #in a way dying in that phone booth was the best move hughes could make #to protect his allies #had he gotten the information out the homunculi would have disbanded mustang's team MUCH earlier #and after hughes came so close to spreading the truth #they made it MUCH HARDER to find #but also much harder for themselves to realize who was figuring it out and by what means #basically hughes was on easy mode #his death put everyone in hard mode. his allies AND his enemies #man fma is good #fma

This is so silly but I'm watching a short video essay on sincerity in cinema and the creator is talking about how he watched Lord of the Rings for the first time at 17. He explains that he'd grown so used to the 'ironic' meta style commentary in the movies of the 2010's that as he was watching the opening narration of LotR, he spent the entire time waiting for the joke to come. For someone to take it all back with a zinger line. He listened to Blanchett describe and explain the backstory, and he waited for the other comedic shoe to drop.
And he kept doing it. Scene after scene.
He spent the film expecting someone to make a joke about how unserious things were or to break the fourth wall or do some other self referential type thing.
Now, maybe I'm just at that point in my cycle or maybe I'm too delicate in general, but I literally teared up hearing that. Straight up cried a bit. It is so fucking sad that sincerity and genuineness is being bred out of people.
People say all the time 'this generation can't take anything seriously!' and really, is it any wonder? Younger people have been trained out of it. You are no longer encouraged to be genuine or show emotion or be honest. You are actively punished for it. In fact, you are almost guaranteed to suffer for it.
That is so fucked up. I'm sorry to go on a bit of a random ramble rant but it's so fucking gut wrenching to see younger people lose that element of themselves. You can't express your passion without being told you're 'crashing out' or 'cringe'. You have to live in this neutral state of fear of perception, and god forbid anybody step outside of it!
You're told you should only consume and succumb and be ironic and emotionless and cool.
Listen, if you're following me and you're like.... 25 or under, let's say. Please. I beg of you. Do not fall for this rhetoric. Please, for the love of all things, feel. Feel and create and be honest with yourself. Indulge in things that make you happy. Be sincere. Wear your heart on your sleeve. Do not let this hyper-capitalistic, hyper-consumerist, self-centred, individualist culture take that from you.
Bleed yourself into the work you create. Live. Don't fucking let anyone tell you different.
time for round 3 of the @need-him-pregnant-poll tournament and here's my propaganda for why you should vote for Aku rather than Gomez Addams: because Gomez would vote for Aku.
If you found this before May 18, the poll's still live. Don't vote for the lesser evil! Vote Aku here!
aku's percentage is climbing, but that'll stop if this post doesn't spread beyond my own followers. by reblogging this post to reach more people, YOU can make a difference in a silly internet poll.
ESPECIALLY if you went "i would've voted for aku if i'd seen this comic first": you have the power to make other people see the comic first.
this may be a doomed battle, but nobody can say I didn't spend 18 hours of my life and all of Mother's Day fighting for Aku. And by god, that's a silly pointless achievement to be proud of.
