#WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU EVEN READ THE ANIMORPHS THE EMOTIONAL IMPACT ALONE

[moonlightchess]

Bruh it's nearly 2023 and I still haven't recovered from how dirty we did the Animorphs like???? The fictional allegory for a trans teenager literally being "trapped in the wrong body" for the bulk of the series until a cis girl falls in love with him and they heal together? The unflinching portrayal of an interracial love between two characters (Jake, a white cis male and Cassie a black cis woman), and how much they had to endure to stay together? Direct, brutal and unrelenting depictions of PTSD, trauma responses, depression and anxiety? The final moral of the story being "war is hell, good guys die, evil wins all the time and we need to accept this to beat it," like???? THE FUCKING ANIMORPHS?????? WHY THE HELL DID WE MILLENNIALS LATCH ONTO J.R. RAWBOOTY OR WHATEVER HER ASS IS CALLED WHEN THE ANIMORPHS WERE RIGHT THERE????????? THE BOOKS ARE SO BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN I'M GONNA SCREAM?
