as a part of the animorphs30 zine, we're launching a fandom survey! they're mostly general data-collecting questions about your opinions the series, its characters, its books, and your experience in the fandom, with additional optional sections if you're a writer, artist, analyst, or cosplayer (it doesn't matter if you're published or not).
in addition, you are given the option to expand on your answers, explaining why you chose what you did, and these responses may be featured in the zine itself!
please spread the word and get this to as many people as possible, so that the survey can have accurate results! it'll close on 20 January 2026 at 00:00 UTC (the same time that contributor applications close), so be sure to have your responses in by then!

I’ve reblogged this before I think but a new thing stuck out to me today, how old are these people if someone who died in 1706 was just a great aunt???
struggling to figure out how tumblr is losing money
The opposite of "there's an XKCD strip for this" has got to be "what the fuck do you mean there's an Achewood strip for this," less common, more alarming.
Tumblr age test!
Speak on Tobias from Animorphs being a trans woman bc I haven't heard that reading before
GRAAAAH I FINALLY FINISHED
Sorry this took so long, i wrote about 90% of it the day you asked and then got a migraine and lost the flow for a while.
I'm going to preface this by saying that, at the time of writing, i have not finished all of animorphs (I'm only on Ani37), so there might be a few things about tobias that i haven't gotten to that might change my opinion on this, but I gotta be honest, i really don't think anything will. I will also say that I'm going to be providing context that may not be necessary to you, but would like to include for the benefit of any potential readers who are unfamiliar with Animorphs.
I think, for the most part in regards to Tobias, the hawk body and instincts are representative of masculinity and humanity is represented by (and therefore representative of) femininity.
I will add to this post that probably the biggest trans!Tobias moment for me is in book 43: The Test. Up until that book, we get lengthy descriptions of intense body dysmorphia every time Tobias morphs human. Then, in book 43, he morphs a girl his age (Taylor) and suddenly? No dysmorphia whatsoever. Tobias is unbothered by human morph for mysterious unknowable reasons.
you checked out flatlands yet? They’re doing some real neat things with on-camera collaborative world-building during the talkbacks. I think I saw someone compare it to The Quiet Year which felt very apt to me.
I'm not sure what Flatlands is? Like the social commentary book?
Gladlands, oops! I missed that it had autocorrected.
Ayeeee
Adorable, beautiful magic

Guys, I think I might be gay

OK so actually now that it's come up a couple times, I'm interested if anyone else has recommendations for "things the Mighty Nein are weirdly judged for that actually apply to all campaigns." The ones I have come up with are:
- Not following all available plot hooks (with special mention going to the completely unknown to the Mighty Nein and the main cast, only discussed once after the campaign was over for roughly 2 minutes example of the Augen Trust).
- a party member considered leaving at some point (independent of whether they actually did leave)
- Dark themes
- Character permadeath
- Fandom behavior during the campaign
feel free to reblog/reply with others because it's actually been a really interesting thing to notice, and I'm wondering if there's other things I'm missing.
They’re the most often cast as the biggest “group of assholes” even though the other two groups were arguably more selfish/rude to outsiders more of the times? That one might be too subjective though.

My favouritest sport fact ever is that in 1990s 2 cardiac surgeons watched an f1 race to save the lives of countless kids. The Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (GOSH) kept losing the lives of patients after successful heart surgeries. Specifically the 10-15 minutes after a bonefide clinically successful surgery patients would die:
And so the two surgeons filmed a handover after heart surgery and sent it to the Ferrari pitcrew who were told to critique and improve handover process
And from this:
we got this:
The error rate during patien handovers dropped from 30% to 10% with the F1 informed protocol.
I literally love this fact so much because being an pitcrew member is such a thankless job because theyre underpaid and overworked mechanics and they literally saved lives in this instance.
I love this!
And it that it wasn't a one and done.
The doctors went to the race tracks to watch the car changes and the pit crews went to the hospitals and watched a live transfer and offered suggestions and they kept working with them to improve.
After there was a successful improvement of the most vital metrics of a handover of a patient from surgery to ICU, the pit crews also worked with other hospitals for other procedures and it's now a whole thing of trying to apply the specialized, streamlined and speedy teamwork and nonverbal coordination of pit crews to other high-risk fields.
This is a perfect example of how two very different fields of knowledge meeting can make a huge leap forward in progress.
