You Know I Was Going To Draw Something To This Effect But This Happened To Pop Up On My Dash And It Was

I mean, Humans didn't start right of doing those things Korr. Someone had to invent those ideas. by the way, the 'knifeshoes' are called ice skates. I wouldn't recommend trying it, mainly because it requires a skilled balance I'm sure someone only morphed human wouldn't achieve. Heck, I'm a real human and I enjoy slipping on the ice more than skating on it. By the way, have you tasted human food yet?

Korr: I suppose that makes sense. I have enough trouble tailless and with two hooves - feet - even on solid ground.

Korr: And oh, yes! Human taste buds are really quite marvelous.

Have you ever talked to a tree? (There are semi-sentient trees on your homeworld, right?)

Korr: Yes, but it’s… been a while.

Korr: The trees here are… really nothing like home.

Korr: I do have a Garibah, a Guide Tree, back home. An old therant tree named Kama Sehr. I miss resting under its branches, listening to it sing in the wind, reading its vines and bark. Kama Sehr always was a good listener.

Korr: I left Kama Sehr - and most of the rest of my family - behind on the Andalite homeworld.

Do Andalites have any kind of pets on their home world like humans do with their domesticated species?

Korr: Andalites never really domesticated any species. No need. Anyway, not much can keep up with us.

My only annoyance with her is some of her morph descriptions. Birds do not have backwards knees; what we think of as the “backwards knee” sometimes is actually the equivalent of the human heel. And horses and other unguligrades (hooved animals) don’t have four knees. The “knee” of the front leg is the equivalent of the human wrist, or the carpus. I mean, really, if you’re going to write about humans turning into animals, do your research on animal anatomy

Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that K.A. Applegate might be the only sci-fi writer EVER who both (a) condemns the mass killing of aliens even if they are attacking the earth AND (b) shows why it’s sort of necessary in the situation?

It seems like too many other sci-fi stories go the route of Avengers or Doctor Who (S1) or Independence Day where a protagonist wiping out thousands of aliens is portrayed as uncomplicated heroism and we all celebrate at the end. Either that or they go the route of Avatar the Last Airbender (S3) or Buffy the Vampire Slayer (S5) where the characters that don’t want to engage in violence don’t have to get their hands dirty because a deus ex machina comes along and prevents that from having to happen.  In both cases doing the right thing is also a matter of doing the easy thing.

Applegate, by contrast, doesn’t let her characters get away with an uncomplicated happy ending.  She doesn’t say “they were aliens so it’s okay to kill them,” and she doesn’t offer them a third way out of their impossible choice.  She gets into the hell that is war and doesn’t use the sci-fi genre to let her gloss over the dirty details.

Another Animorphs fan. Ahh :D

Yep!! <3

Funny little thing happened

((So in band today, the teacher was yelling at someone (I want to say the trumpets) for repeatedly miscounting a half note (for those non-musicians, it’s meant to be played two beats, but they were playing it like one beat or something idk exactly), and the conversation went like this:

“How long is a half note if it’s followed by a half note?”

“Two beats.”

“If it’s followed by a quarter note?”

“Two beats.”

“If it’s followed by a blue-faced alien?”

“Two beats.”

I almost started laughing hysterically in the middle of class, though, and later drew up a response...

A half note, followed by a blue-faced alien. Be careful what you wish for
