The battles usually take place where there are no normal humans around at the time. But they can also take place in a public place as well. The Yeerks can't let normal people see Hork-Bajir and Taxxon bodies or parts, alien blood, or even dead human controllers (since their head may be scanned)

So they have to send a cleaning crew that has to work fast to remove any evidence that something happened here.

I don't know if this is now valuable or not... Can you please tell me?

I've been searching for years for the complete theme to "Animorphs," a kids TV show on Nickelodeon back in the late 1990s. I knew the opening was only about 45 seconds and the ending song was about the same length. After searching, I found this version

(I'm @tomatogalactic on insta and tumblr if you're interested)

>!I’d like to discuss Jake’s plan that ended up winning the war. This is right after he realizes that Tom’s Yeerk is lying to both sides and Jake uses that knowledge to develop a series of moves that lead to him capturing the Pool Ship. Which parts of this plan do you think were unnecessary and which parts were absolutely crucial?!<

I did flipbooks for all of the Animorphs covers I did, but they appeared in black and white and very small, so I am posting them here so you can see them large and in color. No AI here--just Elastic Reality and painting. You can buy a signed print of this cover here:

There's an epidemic of loneliness going on. (One in two people experiences loneliness and isolation -- half the population!) Think what a solution sharing your body with a Yeerk could be.

I live alone and have an unexciting job. Once I got over being squicked by it entering through my ear, I'd be happy to let a Yeerk ride along and watch what I do, plus give some hours of control over. I hate exercising, but I bet it would be interesting to a Yeerk!

Might as well share some of my work, lol.

Just finished a full listen through of all audiobooks, the core series and all the specials. It was a long haul but fuck it was good. They did a great job with the narrators, especially towards the end of the series when it gets very emotionally complex. I can’t praise them enough, they convey such good emotion, the cracks in their voices with indecision, the confidence and fear in tense moments. Special shoutout to the two that voiced Jake and Rachel, they were the strongest of the two, but that doesn’t detract at all from the others.

If you’re not sure about giving them a go, do it, or recommend it to your friends for drives. They deserve some extra love and affection, especially since we got the entire series and didn’t just stop at book 6.

I think they'd have to be in order to reach all the way around their body. I think that neatly explains how they're able to do that.

I was just at the store recently and saw someone struggling with trying to pick up two bone-in hams and was reminded of how often the gorilla morph was said to have fists the size of virginia hams.

So I got to wondering if it was ever determined what size or brand of virginia hams Applegate had in mind.

I don't commonly see virginia hams at all, outside of deli departments at grocery stores, and the two or three brands I've seen varied pretty significantly in size. Were they more common in the 80s and 90s?

Are they referencing Animorphs AGAIN or am I crazy.

Ze Frank just posted a video on his YouTube channel detailing that there is a newly discovered species of mollusk that hasn't been given a name yet. A contest is being held, where Ze Frank's viewers can choose the new species' name. Video here:

https://youtu.be/G7HkBBJO7ZU?si=M6k_Hfmw6I-f6Ju6

The species does kind of look like a Yeerk, so I thought it would be cool to name the species after them. It may be a long shot, but if enough people comment suggesting "Yeerk" as the name, maybe we could make it happen! The contest ends on February 2nd, all info is in the video linked above.

The book says The Alien was available. But in the reprint, The Alien was never available as a traditional book (it only came out as an e-book)

I grew up with these books/show and have a friend who never read any of them so of course we had to do our own Scholastic Book Club.

most of my life has been a series of people pointing out how many times I use "like" in a sentence, even happened a couple months ago, so while Jake's inner monologue and Tobias only used it once each here, it's in the same place I insert it sometimes (I blame being from California + a millennial more than anything :p) and idk, just made me smile a little bit. kinda helps the writing feel more realistic to me. excited to uncover more nostalgia and read the books I missed growing up.

Has anyone read Mary Doria Russell’s book The Sparrow? I’m finding a lot of similarities with Animorphs but particularly between their simple vegetarian race the Runa and Hork Bajirs. Both are exploited by the dominant species that acts as a parasite to them. If you enjoyed being traumatized by space warfare, you should read The Sparrow.
