you gotta be Fuckin Weird abt things. like not even just in a horny sense, altho that is part of it bc there is a lot of art of all forms out there that gets brushed aside bc of containing some level of horny, but just - do the weird shit that caters to you. put yourself in it even if youre scared of what ppl will say abt it. if theres somethin important to you that youre playin it safe over: you can do whatever you want forever. be self indulgent! write selfshipping! draw macro! make your rpg into an essay about something you think abt and nobody else does! make a visual novel abt kissing hot fish! make webweaves about bones and teeth and metaphors for love! shine a spotlight on the oc you shoved in your closet bc you got scared! record song after song abt your blorbo that was only onscreen for like 5 seconds! craft a story out of the things you care about! even if it keeps bein the same story over and over! who give a shit!

Concept: D&D homebrew oneshot based off Animorphs where you each play as one of the main characters of the Animorphs series.

The morphing system would be a modified Wild Shape mechanic, altered to two ends: first, to better fit the book's lore, and second, to make class factor into it more so each character is more unique. Probably each character would be able to use some of their class actions (just for an example, Action Surge for fighters or Rage for barbarians) while in morph, and morphing would restore hit points to 100%.

There would be a skill check associated with morphing--it'd be a Wisdom-based skill that you could gain proficiency in. Roll at advantage when using a familiar morph or becoming another human, disadvantage for things you're scared of or morphing while badly injured. Do a morphing check whenever you're in a new morph for the first time to see if you can get control of it; the actual number to beat is up to the GM based on what the animal is.

Also there would have to be some sort of mechanic to prevent TPKs--the main crew has a LOT of plot armor in the books because they can't die (until the end), so there'd need to be something to keep the PCs alive. Maybe if you "die" you don't actually perish, but instead something very bad happens to the party (you get infested, maybe?)

Infestation would be another new mechanic, though a pretty simple one; if a PC gets infested, the GM just starts controlling that character as the yeerk. The player can try to interrupt what the yeerk's doing, but has to roll a nat 20 with disadvantage (no bonuses from skill proficiencies)--it's supposed to be nearly impossible in the books so that's fairly lore-consistent.

In terms of the actual characters you can play:

Jake: Fighter, probably Battle Master subclass as that's more strategically focused. Not much else to say to be honest--I think he'd be proficient in persuasion, since he's supposed to be a good leader.

Marco: Rogue, maybe? Frankly his strengths don't match up with a specific class--maybe multiclass rogue/bard or fighter/bard because I know for a FACT he can and does cast vicious mockery.

Rachel: Barbarian for SURE, probably the Berserker subclass though I find the idea of her being a Wildheart pretty funny and thematically accurate.

Cassie: Probably a Druid or Beast Master ranger--I'm not sure where I stand on allowing caster classes since that doesn't exist in the real world but neither does morphing. Which one she is just depends on that.

Tobias: Who even KNOWS with this guy. Since he's stuck in morph it matters less, but I'd actually go with warlock--his patron is the Ellimist, since he's the one who seems to be able to argue with the Ellimist the most. It's either that or sorcerer, but he doesn't really gain any powers from his andalite bloodline so that seems less accurate.

Ax: Fighter, but it'd be different because he is an andalite. Just off the top of my head I'd make him be able to deal slashing damage on an unarmed attack (maybe just make his unarmed attack count as a sword attack) and increase his movement speed.

A group could also choose to discard these characters and play as a bunch of original characters if they so chose.

Anyways I'm probably the only person in the world that cares enough about both Animorphs and D&D to create this but oh well have fun.

"you can do whatever you want forever" has become an integral part of our worldview tbh . like it started as an identity thing and then rippled out to just, like. make the things we wanna make! be the things we wanna be! we can just Exist and not have to worry so much abt ppl yelling at us for Talking Too Much or being a Weird System or hyperfixating on a character nobody else cares abt or etc. like as long as we're not Actively Being An Asshole obvs but i swear its like flipping a switch in our brain. we're still an anxious mess but at least we have smth we can tell ourselves that It's Okay
