rosexknight:pembroke:thinkin’ about animorphs a lot…commissions | twitter | tictailI need to like…Read this series.Is…is that an alien? We’re aliens involved here???Yes his name is Ax and he’s super awkward and loves to eat cinnamon buns. I would fucking die for Animorphs. Everyone slept on it, but pure gold. It’s a series about a secret alien invasion by parasitic creatures called Yeerks that crawl into your ear, wrap around your brain, and control you. Another alien species, the Andalites (what Ax up there is), have been at war with them for years. When the war comes to Earth, a group of kids stumble upon an Andalite dying in a construction site. Before he’s killed by the Yeerks, he shares the Andalites greatest weapon with the kids so they can fight against the invasion: the ability to absorb the DNA of any species, and morph into them for up to two hours at a time. This leads to a group of five kids leading a gurella campaign against the Yeerks while trying to balance their normal lives, since, again, the Yeerk invasion is happening in secret, no one knows about it. And since anyone could be controlled by a Yeerk, they can’t tell anyone without risking being exposed and killed. They enventually find out their principal and even memeber of their own family have been infested, leading to personal stakes in their continued uphill battle to stall the invasion. The books are written simplistically for kids, but deal with super heavy topics like death, betrayal, and the emotional effects of war. It’s fucking incredible and I hate that the covers were so cheesy that so many of you guys slept on it. It’s a fucking masterpiece. It has its share of levity though, Ax loves cinnamon buns cuz he morphs into a human to blend in with society, but since Andalites only eat grass, any sugary food he has as a human blows his mind to fucking shit and he geeks out hardcore.TL;DR yes there are aliens FUCKING READ ANIMORPHS. -- source link
