I truly enjoy how much Animorphs is like āhere are our young heroes, each with a distinctive trope to fill in the group!ā And then it makes you watch how the pressure of each personās role grinds them to dust. And also they have homework.
#IM SORRY THEY DO HOME FUCKING WORK IN ANIMORPHS??????
Yeah they're students. If they don't keep their grades up or if they miss too many classes (or miss classes at suspicious times) then they risk drawing the attention of the faculty and/or their parents, some of whom are the enemy and some of whom can just make future espionage a whole lot harder. There are multiple missions where they're like "okay, this is incredibly time sensitive but it'll take a full day or longer so it has to wait for the weekend and we'll have to all lie to our parents about sleeping over at each others' houses. It's gonna have to be done at the last minute because we've gotta go to class. Also, remember to get that English paper finished, we can NOT afford to have you grounded right now."
They also get disembowelled and/or eaten a lot
#animorphs#its actually devastating i bever got into these#they wouldve been a million times more up my alley wtf was i reading harry potter for
It's not too late. You can still read them.

This isnāt really a problem on an individual level; itās the trend as a whole Iām tired of. Like, there are some decent Peter Pan retellings where Peter is the villain.
But. Like. Why is that everyoneās go-to.
I have read the original book. Peter is manipulative, Peter is selfish, Peter is so fundamentally a child that it hurts. But heās not evil. He flatters Wendy into going to Neverland with him because heās convinced that she would love it there, because he loves it there, and she just needs a push. He is the kind of child who thinks that what makes him happy would make everyone else happy too.
(And heās right, Wendy loved Neverland.)
He kills pirates, yes. He also goes out of his way to make it sporting and is horrified at the idea of attacking one who was sleeping. He and Wendy get trapped, about to drown, and when a chance of rescue arrives he sacrifices himself to save Wendy without a single hesitation. He thinks playing schoolboy is an awesome game. He cries for his best friend, Tinker Bell, and frantically begs the world at large to save her from poison.
Heās bossy and kind and always wants to be in charge of the game and is really bad at considering that other people have their own opinions. He makes friends with mermaids and has horrific nightmares and invents the āSecond to the right and straight on till morning!ā off the top of his head because heās embarrassed he doesnāt have an address (which the narrator then notes is nonsense and you would never get to Neverland that way).
Everything always has to go his way because he is nine years old and that is the point of the book.
Meanwhile Tinker Bellās main plot in the book is trying to kill an eight year old girl for daring to look at Peter. Why donāt the retellings ever make her the villain?
*No, the ages are not explicit in text. Peter and Wendy are old enough to read, young enough to be before puberty. Ā ** Yes, Peter can't read. But that's not related to his age.
Hauntings - art by Edward Gorey (1968)
Children near a magical wood catching bugs and their family are like. Please do not catch pixies and small fae and bring them into our home. They are sentient and they are intelligent
And the kids are like "but they get into our bug traps" and "we didn't catch him he followed us home"
And their parents are like. Please i do not believe that 6 fucking pixies smuggled themselves into our garage on the underside of your bicycle saddle and then set up shop in the old dolls house. These are living beings they're not toys it's not kind to treat them like this
And the kids are like we are NOT treating them like anything you said we're not allowed to trap them and they always get into our traps so we always run away when they see us and then they follow us and get inside our backpacks and stuff
And the parents are like
Stop lying!!!
And then they set up wildlife cams and not only can pixies apparently do all of that and are very desperate to hang out with these human kids (who have fun life-sized toys and are covered in wonderful things like glitter and are a free source of fresh bugs and pop tart crumbs)
But they can also like. Fully just pick locks and shit.
Setting up little cameras and having to come to terms with the fact that not only are these small fae initiating every interaction with the kids but have also taken their cat's side in the war against pigeons and keep riding it into battle
The fae quickly realise the camera is a camera, and just as quickly invent silent movies
Each intertitle card has been crafted from words cut out of other writing, so a piece of paper looking like a ransom demand states "BuT Hoo wil SAVE the Dams3l?" is pulled away to reveal a doll tied to train tracks

I was gonna like, describe the video but prevs tags already did that. Yeah, that's the video. It's definitely fun.
I genuinely find it fascinating that it is almost always Alice in Wonderland that gets the Violent/Dark aesthetics in pop culture, when compared to the likes of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz or Peter Pan when..... it's???? really???? not????
Wonderland/Looking-Glass are books of weird nonsense. That's all. The most violent thing in the books is the Queen of Hearts shouting "off with their heads!" but it's also stated in the books that "it's all in her fancy," no one ever gets executed. They just play along to placate her temper. It's hilarious. A close second would be the entire Duchess, Cook, and baby/pig sequence, which definitely showcases domestic/child abuse, but again, is played off so comedically, it's hard to justify the other Violent and Dark variations of Alice, which rarely feature those characters anyway.
Whereas Oz and Peter???? Murdering, kidnapping, and horrific imagery left, right, and center! Both intentional or otherwise!
Peter cheerfully terrorizes Captain Hook on the daily, nearly loses the Darling children in the abyss of space on the way to Neverland, and is canonically described as "thoughtless" towards others because to him, it's all a game.
Dorothy, while innocent in her own right, unwittingly kills a woman upon entering the Land of Oz, and we later learn that the Tin-Man was literally chopped to pieces and slowly rebuilt into a body of tin to stay alive. Not to mention the horrifying lady with the room full of heads that she wears on a whim! (Anyone who's seen Return to Oz knows I'm talking about Princess Mombi; in the third book, Ozma of Oz, her name is Princess Langwidere.)
But I guess it's because of the Nonsense nature of Wonderland that makes it so applicable to violence and darkness in people's imaginations. Peter Pan is more melancholy in the tone of the book, and Oz is definitely weird but coherent with its story structure. Wonderland is neither.
do you have the courage to write a terrible first draft?
āHome is where the trees look normalā is the sweetest, saddest, most nostalgic truth Iāve ever heard.
The secret to my youthful appearance: every 3 weeks I eat my weight in clams, drink my weight in tonic water, apply my weight in moisturizer, plunder my weight in gold, commute my weight in miles, watch my weight in birds, speak my weight in French, leap my weight in lords, smoke my weight in ribs, and fall my weight in love.

just a friendly new yearās eve reminder that if you accepted a challenge from a green knight this time last year youāre due tomorrow at the green chapel to get beheaded. time to get a move on
Okay the WEIRDEST THING is going going down right now
So some guy in Michigan in the US has just found a letter in his grandmotherās house; it seems to be a pen pal letter from 1973ish, and itās from a young Welsh girl. In it, she lists:
Her name, and the names of her brother (Gwynedd) and sister (Catrin)
Their ages
Where she lives in Wales (Denbigh)
Her hobbies, including horse riding and reading pony books.
So this American dude decides to take a photo, whack it on Twitter and ask the only Welsh person he knows if thereās any way to track this Welsh girl down, because you know, ALL WELSH PEOPLE KNOW EACH OTHER, OBVIOUSLY
Except
I am furious to report that it has worked
Welsh person he tags doesnāt know, but takes up the challenge. Someone reckons the Catrin might be a woman who translated a hymn book once, and checks the foreword to see that the dates and ages do seem to be about right. Someone else suddenly has a brainwave - wait, isnāt she the mother of Steff, the comedian?
My husband gets tagged, takes one look at this letter, and is likeĀ āThat is 1000% my aunt.ā
So now itās 20 to midnight, Steffās aunt has obviously not yet seen the excited message to put Twitter out of their misery, and my mother-in-law is currently on the phone gleefully telling us that when that letter was written her sister had never sat on a horse in her life before, and sheād lied to an American pen pal for clout before the internet even existed.
Post Cymru Swyddogol (Official Wales Post)

A Welsh comedian, Elis James, does a radio show which has a segment called āCymru Connectionsā where another Welsh person calls into the show and he has 1 minute to question them about their life until he finds someone the both know. Iāve never seen him fail.
