tobias animorphs is truly one of the characters of all time. hes 13, hes a bird, hes a human boy, hes probably autistic, he's half alien centaur monster (on his dad's side), he has the favor of an elder god, his girlfriend has killed hundreds, his best friend is his uncle and also a centaur, hes even a transgender allegory... the boy really does it all

Cassie Animorphs really spoiled me for all future pacifist characters. Like, I didn't love her when I read the series as a kid, but as I've gotten older, I really appreciate that she's the moral center of the group, the one who's always trying to find non-lethal solutions, AND she regularly kills her enemies(and their human shields). Because she understands that if violence is going to happen, then keeping HER hands clean doesn't stop the violence. That sometimes, the only way to keep an attacker from hurting others is to attack them yourself.
And so she does the right thing. Always. And sometimes the right thing involves violence. And she regrets it, but if she's the only one who can save lives and that requires killing, she will. And she'll go right back to arguing that they should be looking for a path to peace while standing in the pool of blood.
Compared to how some series will have a pacifist character who relies on their friends to do all the violence while condemning them for it, or a series will find a loophole/change the rules to allow the pacifist to not kill when it would otherwise be 100% necessary, it was a nice practical situation to have Cassie dedicated to peace while being willing to kill to achieve it.
Happy Black History Month
Animorphs does everything Harry Potter attempted to do but with better writing, characters, story, stakes and an author who isn't a hateful piece of shit.
What if each animorph had their own artstyle (batch 1)

The reason Animorphs works as a deconstruction of the kid hero archetype is that it comes at it from a place of respect for the genre, and for the children reading it.
It never denies the kids agency, because it is a book for children, who want to read about children being given agency. Animorphs doesn't treat its child soldiers as victims the way a story aimed at adults would. They are full agents within the story who make moral choices. The fact that they are children is treated as a tragedy, but it's not treated as something that absolves them of any responsibility.
It plays by the rules. These kids are the only people who can save the world. They cannot trust the adults in their lives. It just takes that story—the story it's telling—seriously.
The message of animorphs isn't actually of "isn't it fucked up that this book I read when I was a kid sent a twelve year old on an adventure" it just uses its take on the kid hero genre to get across the actual message, which is War Is Hell

Hey, so did you ever finish your video series about Cassie and the caterpillar morph? I loved the first three, but never ... no, sorry, I get it, this isn't the place. Sorry! Sorry.

Just your typical children’s book stuff from Animorphs #15: The Escape

Ryan Coogler gracefully won multiple Oscars and then said to himself, "Feels like it's time to correctly adapt the single most underrated children's book series in history."

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.

While I was away this summer I tackled reading the whole Animorphs series. I'd heard it was good, but I wasn't expecting it to be that good. The turmoil, the increasingly grey morality...
For National Embroidery Month, sharing some close-ups of my in-progress Animorphs embroidery! Thread painting based on animal pictures, broken up by sparkly blue structures to signify morphing.
