Crossovers. Yay!
flaxdragons asked you: troll dave tries to teach andalite tavros how to rap and tav takes to it surprisingly well (i mean, as well as an andalite could ever take to rap)
yes i know if he can morph his back legs would be fixed but i wanted to draw an andalite wheelchair damn it
guys guys I finally did it I finally figured out an Andalite-to-human morph sequence that WORKS
Though it got cut off a little at the edges... stupid scanner isn’t quite big enough for my notebook *kicks (gently)*
In all seriousness you guys have no idea how long I’ve been trying to do this; I can draw human morph sequences with very few problems, but Andalites just cause so many problems when I’m drawing morph sequences! I must have attempted this at least twenty times before I finally nailed it down yesterday. I left the skeletons underneath intact, since a) I usually ONLY draw the skeletons but I got uber-excited over this so I actually finished it more or less, and b) I’d like to be able to do it again maybe at some point in the future, and leaving the skeletons intact seems like the best way to do that.
oh my gods I thought this fandom was out of art like this
There was an artist at the convention who had made bookmarks of literally all of the Animorphs. I bought every single one.
oh my gods that’s the fluffiest Andalite I’ve ever seen
sorry that was my first thought
hork-bajir chronicles are my fav and aldrea-iskillion-falan is good

blast those ‘ceps, guys –Visser One
(click 2 view) people seemed to enjoy my Visser One so here’s more of her i really love making jokes about serious villains
My only annoyance with her is some of her morph descriptions. Birds do not have backwards knees; what we think of as the “backwards knee” sometimes is actually the equivalent of the human heel. And horses and other unguligrades (hooved animals) don’t have four knees. The “knee” of the front leg is the equivalent of the human wrist, or the carpus. I mean, really, if you’re going to write about humans turning into animals, do your research on animal anatomy
Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that K.A. Applegate might be the only sci-fi writer EVER who both (a) condemns the mass killing of aliens even if they are attacking the earth AND (b) shows why it’s sort of necessary in the situation?
It seems like too many other sci-fi stories go the route of Avengers or Doctor Who (S1) or Independence Day where a protagonist wiping out thousands of aliens is portrayed as uncomplicated heroism and we all celebrate at the end. Either that or they go the route of Avatar the Last Airbender (S3) or Buffy the Vampire Slayer (S5) where the characters that don’t want to engage in violence don’t have to get their hands dirty because a deus ex machina comes along and prevents that from having to happen. In both cases doing the right thing is also a matter of doing the easy thing.
Applegate, by contrast, doesn’t let her characters get away with an uncomplicated happy ending. She doesn’t say “they were aliens so it’s okay to kill them,” and she doesn’t offer them a third way out of their impossible choice. She gets into the hell that is war and doesn’t use the sci-fi genre to let her gloss over the dirty details.
If you could morph anything you want , right here, right now, what would you morph?
(sorry this one took me a while to get to; I had graduation get in the way. Also, I hate how much shorter humans are than andalites, because it constantly puts Eliza almost out of frame by accident.)
(Text:
Korr: Maybe it’s a little childish of me, but - I’d like to morph a kafit bird again. It’s been a long time.
Korr: How about you, Eliza?Eliza: I dunno. Something deep ocean maybe - a whale or a shark or something.)
(Basically-dead askblog for an Andalite OC with an unnecessarily long name) | If you're wondering why the hell I followed you: if you are an otherkin blog: I'm @a-dragons-journal; if you are a SWTOR blog: I'm @dragonheart-swtor; if else: I'm @dragonheartftherpays. I accidentally made this my main when I joined and Tumblr is stupid and won't let you change that.
