Have you read the Scholomance series by Naomi Novik? If not, book recommendation. If so, Animorphs AU?

I have read it, but I don't know how to get that and Animorphs to fit together. Does anyone else familiar with both have thoughts?

weird how no one ever comments on the absence of smells unprompted. the nose just isn't a topic of conversation unless it's urgent huh

“<Are skunks a sacred animal to humans?> Ax asked.

’All animals are sacred to Cassie,’ Marco said. ‘She’s Doctor Doolittle and that animal guy who comes on Letterman all rolled into one.’

<But you eat some animals,> Ax pointed out. <Cows, pigs, sheep, dogs.>

‘We don’t eat dogs!’ I said.

<In some countries they do. I read it in the World Almanac.>

We had given Ax a World Almanac to help him learn about Earth. Ever since then, he’d become an expert on useless information. He could tell you the per capita income of Tanzania, or the long jump record at the Olympics.

‘Well, we don’t eat dogs in this country,’ Rachel said.

<Do you eat cats?>

'Um…excuse me?’ Jake interrupted. He rubbed the bridge of his nose. He was obviously getting a headache. I could understand why.”

Kid I know graduated grade 6 today and I made him this card. I introduced him to Animorphs and now he's got a bigger book collection than I do.

The Animorphs are basically Magical Girls and fit fully into that genre, I have decided

[dorkbajirchronicles]

animorphs is funny because the kids spend almost the entire series turning into birds of prey to fly in virtually every scenario while complaining about how they have to space themselves out so it doesn't look suspicious that all these rare raptors are grouped together, about how birds of prey often have to do a lot of hard flapping work to fly in some situations they're not meant for, about tiring out easily, etc. to the point where it starts getting weird and confusing that they literally always use those bird morphs instead of thinking to turn into e.g. migratory geese for certain situations as per their general capacity for pragmatism. and then in literally one of the last books in the series some of them turn into geese to fly long distance and spend the entire time going "wtf this is great why the fuck didnt we do this earlier holy shit." and also the answer to that question is at least in part "one of the animorphs is just literally on all levels including physical a hawk that gets snooty about bird species he thinks suck and would have been really annoying about it"

But somehow I was both a human and a bird and some third thing that was in between the two.

Why would Tobias want to be part of the gender binary when he doesn't even abide the bird/human binary?
