Do you think there’s a possible animorphs resurgence on the horizon? I know the graphic novels were sorta new blood into the series but I’d be really hyped for it to come back into the public eye on a bigger level!
1. I may have a biased perspective, but. I've been seeing "impending Animorphs resurgence?!?!" since ~2012, usually in the notes of a post that escaped containment, occasionally when Applegrant news comes from Twitter. I'm not betting the rent on it. There's been a trickle of fan content, and an IV drip of author content, since 2001. It's safe to say Applegate has remained interested since 1996, and that I'll remain interested in 2036. Other than that, who knows.
2. I'd love more Animorphs content, especially of the audiobook-and-comic variety that makes the series more accessible to new readers.
3. I'm glad Animorphs never got as popular as Harry Potter, and I never want Animorphs to get that popular. Because I don't want Animorphs entering the fandom boom-and-bust cycle. As soon as any fandom becomes big enough online — Night Vale, Supernatural, the MCU, John Green novels, Harry Potter, Sherlock, Joss Whedon shows, Rick & Morty, Steven Universe — the backlash is more or less inevitable. After a while it gets exhausting, like all those times your middle school decided overnight that Bowling For Soup had gone from being the coolest band ever to the worst music in existence. For now the DC Christian universe (Good Omens, Sandman, Lucifer, etc.) is in its salad days, but anyone who thinks the Sandman author is still going to be here in 2025 needs to research their history. This boom will cause a bust. Don't know when, don't know how; I just know that it's coming.
And K.A. Applegate is pretty cool, Animorphs is super cool, but neither is perfect. Animorphs has outdated language about disability; it has lines about how "nobody cares anymore" about Black girls dating white boys; it has jokes from Marco that edge into sexism. Applegate's not on social media much, but Michael Grant's said plenty of ham-fisted and ill-worded things online. If Animorphs ever gets so big that it starts annoying everyone else, then Tumblr will find a reason to attack it. And not just "I dislike it" but "it is morally wrong to like." I'd rather be spared the drama. I'd rather keep the campfire of our love glowing, rather than fanning it into an inferno that destroys everything.
you need to understand that i have two sets of headcanons. there's the set of realistic headcanons based on my genuine reading of the show, and then there's me playing pretend with my dolls.
my corner store guy is a 50 year old man who's my best friend in the world and recently he was like "you're too pretty to be single I have some nephews you should meet. very handsome!" and I was like "a niece might be more up my alley" and he just got more excited and said "ah even better! I was overselling my nephews but my nieces are very beautiful"
OP the tags!!
nobody asked but its very funny that this is the top post of all time in the adhd women subreddit
horror movies are so much scarier when the actors look like an average sampling of the human population. and the house is a little messy
when everyone has veneers and the house is pristine and tastefully decorated: (in the back of my mind) these people were hand-selected for visual appeal. this is a set. this is a story
when the actor has a little acne and there are dirty dishes in the sink: aaaaahhhhh this is just like Me and My House ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!
when everyone has veneers and the house is pristine and tastefully decorated: (in the front of my mind) these people had it coming
Why is everything in fantasy worlds like ten thousand years old why can’t you write a story about something new
Werewolves were invented like five years ago. Nobody knows what that howling is.
Screw ancient orders. We’re founding an order of knights right now. You’ve gotta keep your knights busy or else they’ll raid and pillage the countryside.
I’m opening a magic library. We’re accepting donations of lightly used scrolls and magical textbooks.
“What ancient crypt is this?”
“This is my grandpa’s tomb. He’s not even dead yet. It’s got holes because we haven’t finished it. Please don’t break the sarcophagus. We paid a lot for it.”
does anyone have the screenshot of the comment on the youtube video of molten iron slag being poured where it's a guy describing his experience witnessing the same thing written in the most beautiful prose imaginable
@f2tal @barabones with your key addition of 'seagulls,' i was able to find it!
we need more autistic jocks btw. jocks who are obsessive nerds about their sport of choice. jocks who are rigid about their workout routines and obsessed with the math of performance statistics and nutrition and reps. jocks who don't have time for alcohol or misogyny because why are you guys chugging beer and trash talking we need to be TRAINING. guy with no tolerance for homophobia because Teammate Trevor is an integral part of the strategy play who cares who he's dating
more jocks whose sole interest is playing the game to the very best of their ability, and infodumping doing a play-by-play review immediately afterwards at the sports bar while his teammates are trying to just get drunk and decompress
thanks to this post I am learning things about baseball against my will 👍

I had this silly little thing on the back-burner for a while and decided today was a reasonably good day to try to finish it. I can't quite consider it done, but it's enough to get the point across.
I do remember as a kid not having seen any of the movies with Baragon but had rented Gamera vs Barugon a few times so Godzilla Monster of Monsters caused me some confusion. "They misspelled a Gamera enemy and got him very wrong for some reason."
Ohhh, those cookies on the counter? You ate one? Dang, I forgot to warn you! That's my special recipe with a little extra something in it. Yeah, it's the "in heat forever" weed butter. Yeah, it's a bit of a misnomer, it only lasts a few weeks, such a letdown right.
What do you mean, you had four? Four whole ones? Uhhhhh, well, so you should lie down immediately and, um. Well, I hope you don't mind me– who am I kidding, you're not going to mind anything for a month minimum. Goodness, that's hitting you fast!
You can't even understand the words I'm saying anymore, can you? Oh well, I'll just have to take good care you now! Don't worry, let's just get all these silly clothes off of you, and I'll get you feeling much better very soon :3
You people see "heat", "weed", and "can't understand words anymore" and just hit reblog! What else should I incorporate? Forever-heat-weed that turns you into a puppy? A doll? A puppydoll? Wait, hold the fuck up, puppydoll is amazing, like babydoll but ouppy. Never mind, post cancelledI'm. too dizzy to keep typing 😵💫
