#this meme is the plot of the series

[radiantmists]

reading animorphs sequentially instead of in whatever random order you can get your hands on them is such a trip because you can see these kids getting progressively better at war and worse at being happy, you can see how traumatic events from one book echo into the next ones but never quite get dealt with because these kids have no real way to take care of their mental health, you can see their relationships deepening but simultaneously gaining friction and faultlines as they learn just how far they'd go for each other but also how far they'd go in general...

obviously this series was meant to be episodic in nature, and i actually think that might be the better way to first encounter it, but the arc of the series in publication order is extremely well-crafted

#though im having to take a break #i just read 16 and like. In the context of Jake's endgame it has me so fucked up #i mean it's a lot in itself especially since he doesnt really deal with any of what happened #but also like. him genuinely not knowing if he thinks fenestre killing hosts to get their yeerks is okay ot not? #its a bad turning point for him but also still so much better than where he ends up and im too sad #animorphs #tbh im very [miles studying beter meme] about this #its so good at establishing character and themes #and laying down plot hooks for later #in a format i really dont think about much #Semi-episodic book series arent really a thing anymore are they?

My contribution to the Scott Pilgrim fandom

#I love the movie and the live action with my heart and my soul #I hate all the characters I will kiss them all and tuck them into bed #the comic/movie/anime are like…separate entities to me… like. I know it’s the same characters but like. #I feel like the characters are different…so I treat them different. #idk if that makes sense #anime and live action Scott are the same character with baisically the same traits and plot line. but they are still different from each #each other #and idk I treat them differently #idk i’m just rambling #I love u Scott pilgrim series/franchise #scott pilgrim #scott pilgrim takes off #scott pilgrim vs the world #spvtw #spto #scott pilgrim meme #wallace wells #young neil #stephen stills #My creations💛! #💛!

Me whenever the Danny Phantom series mentions Humans dying or Ghosts dying:

#DSD577 #Danny Phantom #meme #I never got why dying was a big deal in the series to be completely honest #wouldn't dying mean becoming a ghost? #shouldn't have the whole plot in Ep 28/29 have the spirits that died in it? #not comfortable with this implying certain spirits go to a better place #what about the Dairy King? he didn't seem like an awful dude... #WTF was going on in Ep 36 anyway? #Then theres the weird aspect that ghosts can die #Ep 8 flat out stated it #and Ep 16 tryed selling it as believable #like what was the point of being dead and being able to die? #was there another place worser then the GZ itself? #The series confuses me... #Also I like to remind y'all that Tucker Phantom is in the GZ #along with the other ghosts in that Ep

Wwx is the only mxtx main protagonist who would not be a my little pony fan. But he does own a 20% cooler shirt

#Xie lian is an elder pegasister because he just likes shows about love and kindness #hes been in the collectors fandom for forever and runs an angelfire blog that barely works #whereas shen yuan is in the exact opposite camp as a brony who got into it via 4chan #he does serious lore analysis on the series in his free time and is constantly complaining about plot holes / poor #world building but he loves the brony pandering episodes #wwx doesnt fall into any of those camps so hes kind of just normie i fear. but Jiang cheng is a brony #so he bought the 20% cooler shirt to bond/make fun of him #i think he does like rainbow dash tho #oh favorite ponies #xie lians is fluttershy of course. sys is nightmare moon as we've established #but out of the main six his favorite/least favorite is twilight who he feels unfortunately drawn to bc he relates #to her. but he wont admit it. wwx only knows rainbow dashs name cause he sees her in memes #jiang cheng likes rarity. of course

this came to me on a freezing cold night when I was sleep deprived and I still think it’s the funniest thing I’ve ever made

#boueibu #binan koukou chikyuu bouei bu love! #cute high earth defense club love #fandom memes #wdym this isn’t the entire plot of the series summarized into one image? #why are you booing me i’m right

[delusionalblfan]

at this point i lost complete notion of what they are doing as individuals and as couples/pairings/whatever. and yet i keep going with the flow

#playboyy the series #i am so lost. completely #i won't even use the term normal as the norm...because what is normal? but i am severely concerned over these boys judgement and damaged 🧠 #the ones together i did not notice when they fell in love. i get the 'i have feelings' but not entirely the 'i love them'..sill very shaky #the ones fake liking... i have no idea why they look like they want vengeance...for what? them being assholes? you are (almost) all asshole #or i am just not getting the real plot because i am so lost. maybe my brain is no good #way am i here? what am i watching? *inserts meme of confused travolta*

not sure if im alone on this but the taglines in animorphs always kinda pissed me off?? like how is "make a change for the better" representative of The Reunion? could they /really/ not think of any sort of vaguely-robot-related tagline for The Android? Yes, the actual titles range from completely random (I believe The Warning falls in that category iirc?) to "only makes sense in retrospect" (The Forgotten), but the taglines are straight-up just random sayings about change 50% of the time

Oh yeah, I am with you as part of the large, large contingent of Animorphs fans who find the covers super frustrating:

Like you said, the punny taglines tend to have little to do with the book itself, and are often jarringly wrong in tone (#3 is "Now you see them, now you don't"; #14 is "Never underestimate the power of a morph.")

The summaries are often spoiler-ific (#19) or focused completely differently from the book itself (#23).

Nobody likes the phrase "the other Animorphs and Ax." David (David!) also gets described as "the sixth Animorph" when Ax has already been there for 15 friggin' books.

Jake and Rachel's cover models are fine, but the other four don't match the books' descriptions of the characters that well.

Visser stars Visser One but has Visser Three on the cover. There are several other instances of especially the inside covers not matching the scenes in the books where those morphs appear.

However, those problems can probably be blamed ~95% on the speed at which the books were being published. I've speculated that those summaries may have even been put together by people who had never read the book in question. Not due to laziness, but just because the book itself didn't exist at the time when they had to hastily throw a cover together.

So imagine you're some Scholastic intern who's gotta put that cover together, and you don't know anything about a book except maybe a one-sentence summary. ("A girl named Cassie and her team the Animorphs — four fellow humans named Tobias, Rachel, Jake, and Marco; along with a blue alien named Ax — transform into horses to infiltrate a military base to prevent alien invaders from putting evil slugs into the brains of the leaders.") Honestly, given those constraints, it's nearly miraculous that the covers turned out as good as they did. And it is understandable that the word "Animorph" got mistranslated as "human who morphs" rather than "member of this team of kids who fight yeerks." Hence "the other Animorphs and Ax" and "David, the sixth Animorph."

It is still frustrating that the covers are so misaligned with the books, because we do know that people judge those books by their covers and that that's been a major barrier in the attempted revival of the series. (To say nothing of all the semi-racist memes.) But the characters' names are spelled right, the body horror of the series is accurately advertised, Cassie and Marco have cover models of the right ethnicities, and details like andalites having 6+ fingers per hand miraculously come through. I'll take what I can get.

#animorphs #animorphs meta #animorphs merch #marketing #scholastic #anyone else ever notice #that when non-fans (e.g. SNL & TGWTG) mock the series #they always use *Rachel's* book covers? #almost like they're deliberately choosing the 1/6th of the series with the highly feminine protagonist on the cover? #because see it's funny if they're girly books written for girls with girl plots and girly conceits #that's an extra layer of funny to the joke #so it's always 22 or 7 in the memes #it's always 17 or 32 taken out of context #never mind that 67% of the protagonists and ~80% of the supporting cast are male #if it's written by a woman about girls for girls then it's fun to hate #if there's a boy on the cover or someone with short hair like Cassie then it's just not as funny now is it?

finding out that kaito and shinichi have been revealed to be cousins is like finding out there was a huge earthquake in the country you used to live in

#which also just happened. these experiences are roughly equivalent. snmcmdmcmdllc #detective conan #laughs awkwardly #LIKE. idk how to put into words. detective conan's fandom is.... something #these are people who have been invested in the (often romantic) trials and tribulations of a 17 year old who looks 7 years old #for upwards of 20 or 30 years. this is not a casual reveal #detective conan is not some labor of love and artistry that the author has a specific vision for. it's the longest cash grab that never end #it has had movies during golden week every year for longer than i have been alive and distributes it in several countries #and kaito/shinichi is very popular. i think if you know anything about manga/anime fandoms i don't even need to explain why #for the author to publicly canonically rip up one of the most popular ships of the series... it's hard to imagine that it wasn't deliberate #it's not just a matter of 'omg just ship what you like ignore canon'. they HAVE been doing that (conan has a canon female love interest) #this is very destiel-coded in the sense that it feels simultaneously like the author acknowledging that section of the fandom #while doing the worst possible thing about it. like NO ONE wanted that dnvkdmlvmdk #except for me. this is so funny. I've ALWAYS HAD SUSPICIONS OKAY #kaito and shinichi's canonized same-face syndrome might have started as a meta joke. but remember. this is one of those series #where people are frequently revealed to be a.) not dead all along and b.) secretly someone else all along and #c.) secretly related to someone plot-important all along. all these have happened MANY times #when you have a franchise that has run for this long you kind of have no choice but to up the stakes to the point of absurdity #so basically. it feels like walking in with pizza to the burning room meme except the author was the one to set the fire

I’ve come to the conclusion I really don’t like Harem Series, but I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with them. If you enjoy Blandy McBlanderson having Women fall over him for literally no reason at all live your bliss as long as you don’t think it’s translates to real life and believe you should be getting women for doing nothing when you have the personality of moldy cardboard. Also I HAVE to know upfront it’s a Harem I hate when there’s a really good Shounen Premise and then it becomes a Harem… I think what turns me off from Harems is especially when there is like a clear winner, so why is everyone trying to get something that’s taken??? I’m not even a fan or Reverse Harems honestly, I’m okay with a Love Triangle because it’s small enough to be reasonable but I really prefer Polyamory over either.

HOWEVER, there are 3 Harem Series I actually really like and I wanna talk about why. Quintessential Quintuplets, Bakarina (Full Title is My Next Life as a Villainess all Routes lead to Doom! But I ain’t typing that every time), and Nu: Carnival.

[Warning for poor wording here I’m just trying to get my thoughts out]. For Quint Quint: First of all it actually feels like each girl has a chance so it actually could go any which way. The Second thing is he actually has to earn their trust they don’t immediately fall over him and he doesn’t immediately like them either. We see both sides grow into better people as they get closer. Also Third the situation that forces them to hang out doesn’t feel creepy? I’ve seen a few too many Slave Harems and I like that Quint Quint has a situation where if it really came to it they could back out but there benefits for both sides so they begrudgingly stay. For Bakarina and NuKani: the Protagonist is actually REALLY likable and has a winning personality (also both these Series feel like they could have some Poly so I am very game). Katarina and Eiden out here giving free therapy to their Harems ngl. I also feel that Bakarina does a good job of exploring why the Harem Members actaully like the Protag. And NuKani has a lot of talk of that sort of thing as well where Eiden doesn’t seem to want to push anybody into anything and values their boundaries.

Update/Edit: [Also maybe poor wording just realized I missed a massive point]. I will say my biggest concern with Harem Protags with zero personality getting all the girls despite doing nothing is it may feed into the Entitlement a loooot of men have towards women’s bodies. Also I just find Harem Protags having no personality boring in term of being a Character 🤷‍♀️

#trash meme #anime talk is what I should be know for #harem series talk #the quintessential quintuplets #my next life as a villianess all routes lead to doom #nu carnival #NuKani is the only fully n//sfw I will talk about on my main because it also has a lot of plot #I’m not even kidding the plot is really good and so is the outfit design
