what would change if yeerks had to be on the top of someone's head to control them, and had to be covered up with a hat to go undercover?

Snapbacks would come into fashion faster, and have broader appeal.

Someone would at least attempt to popularize nightcaps, as in caps you wear at night, in the 1990s. How well this would work depends on if they started with Jeremy Jason McCole as their spokesperson, or started with Mr. Chapman.

Marco would shave his head. It'd be a wrench, but some sacrifices are worth the safety of the planet.

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.

what horrible new halloween costumes do you think will become popular after the war?

Andalite tourist (lazy version): Don a headband with blue stalk eyes, and carry around a Krispy Kreme box.

Andalite tourist (hardcore version): Paint your entire body blue, have an inflatable second set of legs and tail attached to your butt, and attach the tail blade to a wristband so that you can swing it around by waving your arm.

Animorph (lazy version): Put on bike shorts, take off shoes.

Animorph (hardcore version): Exactly match Rachel's preferred cut and color of leotard. Wear brown fur boots and gloves, then use body paint on your arms and legs to make it look like they're transitioning into a morph.

Yeerk (lazy version): Borrow your friend's The Sharing shirt.

Yeerk (hardcore version): Shave your head, and paint your scalp with the illusion of a window looking in on your brain with a slug wrapped around it. Then borrow your friend's The Sharing shirt.

Hork-bajir (lazy version): Get a t-rex costume, add a headband with blades on it.

Hork-bajir (hardcore version): This one involves stilt-walking, while wearing knives, and has been banned in six countries by November 1 of the first year after the war.

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.
