yes yes yes yes

also: the Animorphs being sat down and told very seriously by Tobias that while strategically it’ll be ideal for all of them to acquire crow morphs, they 1) HAVE to Frolis those up because morphing a real individual crow will freak all of the other crows out if they know the original real crow (and it’s likely they will), and 2) they CAN’T embarrass him in front of The Boys. He’s vouching for these new crows, after all; his rizz and credibility are at stake. Marco, he’s looking at you.

AU where Tobias is trapped as a social bird like a crow instead of a solitary predator. Bonus: Does he create the Crow Air Force by accident?

Yet another objectively excellent AU idea that has me stumped. Any fellow fandalites have suggestions about Tobias the Corvid?

Its frustrating when non-horror people come into horror spaces and ask why we like violence and watching people suffer and sexism and all other manner of moral hand-wringing, but i also find it frustrating when horror fans (myself included) attempt to sincerely engage with these questions. Like 9 times out of 10 the question is either being asked in bad faith, or the asker is genuinely confused, and neither of those types of people are prepared for a proper answer about how horror reflects the cultural landscape or the complex relationships between the genre and gender and race etc and they definitely aren't ready to hear about the real facet of sexuality and eroticism in basically all horror media

horror is an easy target for pearl clutching but you can subject pretty much any genre to the same criticism if you frame it poorly enough. Oh you like romance movies? So you enjoy watching men stalk women and violate their boundaries? You think cheating is okay? You think its cool when women give up their careers to get married? I dont like or watch romance movies but based off my limited understanding thats what they're all like, etc

i think we need to just start responding to bad faith questions about horror with "yeah i thought it was awesome when The Killer fed all those teenagers into a wood chipper"

Oh no. Oh no this is wonderful and I feel my brain growing new neurons about what this would do to Tobias’ inner journey, going from an abused, abandoned, lonely human boy to that same boy in the body of not a solitary hawk, but a social bird— a bird with a home, with not just a circle of human friends bound together by their shared terrible secret responsibility (saving the earth) but parents (Cassie’s) who love him and compliment him, who give him other vulnerable abandoned young creatures to care for… Tobias drawing gasps and laughs from human passerby when he hangs out with his friends and caws swear words, the formerly awkward, invisible boy now a bird considered charming and charismatic by nature… let alone what interacting with other crows would do for him. Intensely social, intelligent birds who might especially include him in their antics because of his clear intelligence, giving Tobias a supportive peer group for the first time in his whole goddamn life. Tobias as One Of The Boys (neighborhood crows). The Crow Squad helping the Animorphs at his request by harassing Controllers and sharing intel, because this Tobias guy is their bro and they’re having fun. Tobias with a full social schedule between crow gang time and Animorphs time. Tobias being the Jake of his little gang, feeling responsible for their wellbeing. And, crucially: a crow’s instincts easing his social anxiety. Crow Tobias!!!!!!!!

this reddit post about an axolotl’s vet visit has stolen my heart

look at her:

soggy, bug-eyed, bewildered. Flabby pink sausage thing. Gently held, gently squirted with water. How is she real

and then back in her aquarium at home:

buoyant, happy, healing. Beautiful feathery gills… you’d never know. What she looked like.

pen sketches from a few months ago when I was trying to remember how to draw my girl Sweet Pea… getting the ol bicycle out of the basement and tuning ‘er up before getting back on again. It’s a bit embarrassing to draw my own character off-model at first…

she’s learning about chernobyl

She loves it

Sweet Pea grooming routine?

she doesn't really have a strict one. She brushes her teeth (very important), she brushes her fur (sometimes with a real brush, usually with her claws), and she's good to go. But every now and then she does like to do something special...
