Here is the koi fish au I kinda typed up?

Pros to nothliting as koi:

1. CONTAINMENT - the yeerk and taxxon population becomes an inert non threat. Koi are basically powerless against humans, and it's not like they could manipulate people cuz what can Koi Esplin offer? And the greatest advantage is we can keep an eye on every single nothlit, because Koi Can't Escape, especially if we keep them in, like, Nevada or Siberia or something.

2. FAMILIAR but UPGRADED environment - a koi pond or an aquarium can be beautiful spaces. Much like a yeerk pool, yeerks natural environment, a koi pond or aquarium can house potentially hundreds of koi, and multiple can be hooked together. They could swim around, thought-speak, take visitors, even read books and use computers (depending on security level). It's a straight upgrade too, because koi experience all 5 senses and pass the mirror test, so even if you're just going from the yeerk pool to the koi pond directly, it's way better than being a yeerk OR a taxxon OR Any Wild Animal

3. COMMUNITY - yeerks, taxxons could live in community together. Humans would definitely bond with yeerks if the aquariums were visitable. Humanity is scarred by the yeerk invasion, but I believe that we could have a path forwards with our new Koi friends. Imagine this (https://www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinteresting/s/fdDEsPmZku) but giant talking goldfish are you kidding me??? I would go every day to talk to my new fish friends. Koi can also live long and fulfilling lives, unlike most wild animals.

4. Anaconda plan flaws - it wasn't clear to me why the yeerks were allowed to turn into apex predators and roam free in the first place. Seems. Likely that you'd get, oh idk, some renegade guerrilla warrior anacondas mixed in with the rest. Maybe even some who saw from precedence a whole bunch can be. If it wasn't completely clear by now, I completely disagree with Cassie on the amazon idea. You can't just loose a bunch of snakes in the amazon! You have no way of controlling the outcomes there. And nobody seems to be considering that they're all going to starve in a few months (sciencedirect com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/lotka-volterra-model). Why not put them in a zoo? Or y'know. A koi pond.

*john hammond voice* Somewhere where we have a bit more control

This is amazing and I love it.

Question: If you were a Controller during the Yeerk War and you got pulled over for speeding because the Yeerk had a lead foot and then later the war ended and you were free, could you get the speeding ticket dismissed because it wasn't you driving the vehicle, and would you get your money back? Also, how screwed would the legal system be in general with having to determine how many court cases were influenced by Yeerks? How many rulings would have to be overturned, records expunged, people released from jail, etc? How many years would it take to sort through what is sure to be a massive pile of cases that need to be looked at because a judge, a juror, a lawyer, the arresting officer, the suspect, somebody involved with the case was a Controller and therefore not qualified to present evidence, judge cases, or was just flat out not responsible for the actions that started the court case in the first place?

And how many Law and Order episodes would we get out of it? Asking for a friend.

I put my yeerk in the centrifuge and spin them around until are flattened against the wall to get all the kinks out like a little spa day.

Animorphs fans, should I get into it as an adult?

I know how long it is, but I saw a post about how Yeerk politics was a Jenga tower and it was incredibly intricate, scarily close to how actual evil empires like the USSR or Nazi Germany worked, and did actually seem to reflect things I saw on tvtropes and the few times i tried to read the books as a kid. It sounds like a treasure-trove of lore with ATLA-levels of kids being written well. Is that accurate? Because if it is, l I know what I'm asking my sister for for Christmas.

Eyo Guess who came back from the dead

Yeah I know no one listens to Hamilton today but I've read the andalite chronicles 5 times now and cried much more and thought of them on this song and now you got to cry about them too

A bit of rambling about the video under the cut

I wanted to create a cool conversation between elfangor and alloran to switch to elfangor having the same conversation with Tobias

But guess what ? My pencils broke and so did my motivation to do the rest of the song sorry

Also. I love Loren and elfangor sooo much in that book they are so cute so I had to put her in the video as well

I'm not really sure about the thumbnail of the video cause it's the first time I do a serious one but it's past midnight where I live and school is coming up fast and here I am

I genuinely hope you like it !

The mind-controlling alien slug entering my brain and reading my thoughts for the first time: damn, bitch, you live like this?

Saw your response to the "can Tobias Animorphs kill Macbeth" question, and while I completely agree with you (I think the argument that after being trapped as a hawk he considers himself as much bird as boy, so he'd be a bird of woman born rather than a man of woman born... But I digress.)

I'm not sure how much you know about Animorphs, so I'll explain my question as clearly but succinctly as possible. If you're familiar with the series, you can jump straight to the last line of this ask

The Yeerks from Animorphs are a species of parasitic space slugs with anywhere from 0 to 3 genders--it's unclear, we only know that it takes three parents to produce a batch of offspring, and that the parents die in the process, which in no way resembles what we would call "being born of" anyone at all

So given all this I think it's pretty clear that any given Yeerk could theoretically kill MacBeth, though being in their natural state just big slugs they'd have significant difficulty doing so

But Yeerks don't tend to do their killing in their natural form, and this takes us to our question:

Yeerks leave their feeding grounds by crawling into the ear canal of other species and taking over their brain. The controlled human or alien has zero controll of their actions except for seconds at a time, and even then only under extreme emotional distress

Could a Yeerk, piloting the body of an otherwise ordinary, human male born to an ordinary human woman, kill MacBeth?

Yes! They would still count for, at the very least, the Unconventional Birth Clause. We've discussed possession a couple of times before, and our ruling is that the host essentially acts as the possessor's murder weapon, so the identity of the possessor is what is taken into account versus the identity of the host.

In the original play of Macbeth, Macduff doesn't kill Macbeth with his bare hands, he kills him with a sword, but the sword isn't credited with the kill, Macduff is; this theoretical man of woman born would be the sword, while the Yeerk controlling him would be Macduff.

I hope that makes sense. Thank you for your submission!

Since y'all really liked my other animorph art, here's one from the Hork Bajir chronicles.

The more I read these books the more I hate the Andalites, which I think is suppose to be the natural progression of the reader.

First off, Seerow's kindness is just tragic all around. If I was super advance and saw intelligent life stuck living in mud puddles or monkies I'd want to help them as well. But at the same time I understand the Yeerks. If my choices were mud puddle/monkey or I could take a host and experience the joys of sight and sound.... i think I'd take a host. It's all around such a tragic situation and it's such an amazing story to hear play out.

And man, the Hork Bajir. Poor Dak, you learn your entire species was specifically made to be less intelligent and now every other species looks down on you for that. I feel bad for Aldrea too of course. Seeing your entire family killed then forcing a war on peacful species because it's that or enslavment.... just... man.

I love these chronicle breaks but it's really not much of a break when it's so much freakin sadder. But I do love Aldrea and Dak, they wefe adorable. Very Tarzan and Jane but with way more war and way more tragedy.

Do you think Iniss is older than Esplin? Idk, the way he talked about the other Iniss made me wonder if he might be from the yeerk homeworld.

I'm on board for this! It might just be a matter of Chapman being required to act middle aged, whereas Visser Three is prone to acting like a toddler, but I feel this. Iniss 226 comes off like the kind of guy who has been slowly working his way up through the ranks of management for years, doing it right and getting no thanks for it. We know that Esplin 9466-01 got megapromoted for capturing an andalite host, whether he deserved it or not. This makes perfect sense to me.

Side note, but I'm also curious about alien lifespans. Hork-Bajir Chronicles features Toby's great-grandparents, but adult versions of Alloran and Esplin 9466 who are still adults in Animorphs. That suggests hork-bajir live less long than andalites — consistent with Toby being mature enough to lead when she's a few months old — but we don't know by how much. It's also not clear if Ax is born literally at about the same time as Tobias, or if they're just at about the same point in their maturity during the series. Ax could be a lot older or a lot younger than the other kids, and just has the andalite equivalent of a 13-year-old's maturity at the start of the series.

This is a reminder for all Controllers: Please do not leave signs saying "Free Barbecue" on the door to the Visser's quarters again. Inciting a Taxxon stampede is an offense punishable by Kandrona starvation.
