What I Read in June 2024

reread, and I really need to get more of this series. It's so cute.

So creepy and crawly for this volume in the series. *shudder*

Didn't even know about the newer American Girls, I really liked it.

I hate Apollo in this series so much. Interesting to see how Ares reacts to be turned down by Persephone. Also Hades and Persephone's longing for each other is also adorable.

Finally have a physical version! Reading on webtoons is fine but I prefer actually being able to hold what I'm reading.

Time to meet Aximili!

I love the anime so I decided to check-out the manga...the boobs are little absurd, but over all I enjoyed it.

Found books 1-4 of this series at a local thriftstore and couldn't resist starting book one (I'm a sucker for pretty covers) I really liked book 1 it was my kind of thing.

This was really cute.

Stumbled across the anime on youtube and couldn't resist at least getting volume 1. I love Gerard and Clotho so much!!!

Saw a bit of the anime on youtube and again, couldn't resist getting the manga adaptation.

Continuing my isekai obession... XD

really interesting read, does use the term "redman" often for native americans, but not other noted dated langugae and good information. ^_^

Meet Donte Applegate (he/him)

mean \ romantic \ self-assured

Donte originally hails from Del Sol Valley and is studying to be a lawyer at the University of Britechester. He plays on the school soccer team and when he's not partying or at practice, he can be found in the extra quite section of the library. Feel free to tag me if you use him in your game.

I've seen a lot of folks talk about how in-universe things would be different in a modern AU, but I'm curious if you have any thoughts about how Animorphs and its world building would be if it were being written now in a (post?-) war on terror world rather than a post-Vietnam War world.

So this'd be speculation, but. But a lot has changed since 1996. We'd probably get YA Animorphs if published today (sigh), and we'd definitely get 6 or 12 oversized tomes rather than 54 slim paperbacks. On the plus side, we'd get canon queer rep, especially Tobias and Marco, and we'd get updated animal facts.

And then there's the War on Terror. Controversial opinion: I think it wouldn't change that much about Animorphs, because it's obvious in hindsight that Applegate saw the foreverwar coming.

Like, look at Marco's speech in MM2 about how the U.S. is "always on the lookout for new enemies... Enemies 'R Us, EnemyMart, J.C. Enemy. Don't worry, we'll find one." Or his point in #46 about how "global warfare is a thing of the past. That’s what people think, anyway" and the inherent danger in war becoming this glorious abstraction to too many Americans. Look at Visser's point about how humans "tear down a living man but revere a dead one" and use tragic deaths to forward the political agenda, whatever that might be. Look at Jake's job in #54, developed because "terrorism had grown... religious extremists... antigovernment paranoids... latter-day racists."

And then look at the andalites. "Police force of the galaxy" (#8), "Meddlers of the galaxy" (HBC), who often do more harm than good to the planets they try to save. They try to use their tech and military advantages responsibly... but not so responsibly that they're willing to give up even an iota of power to save lives. We first meet the andalites as the absolute good guys, and then over the course of the series that foundation crumbles (#8), and crumbles (#18), and crumbles (#19), and crumbles (#38), until Jake and Eva are "making deals with taxxons and yeerks to gain a victory fast enough to keep the andalites from deciding... to blast the entire planet out of existence and take out the bulk of the yeerk race along with the human race" (#53). Sound like any countries you know?

Anyway, Animorphs shows the Afghanistan War wasn't caused by the Sept. 11 murders any more than World War I was caused by Franz Ferdinand's murder. Applegate was writing in a U.S. itching for any moral-looking excuse to go to war, and clearly she knew it.

anyone who has followed me for any amount of time will know that i am INCREDIBLY prone to being the victim of overhype, letting everyone's excitement for a thing get my hopes up and then being disappointed by the final product. so i just have to sit here for a minute and marvel at the fact that not only has the animorphs series been meeting my expectations it has been exceeding them. animorphs is truly as good as everyone has always said it was. im sorry i just assumed nostalgia goggles were giving it more credit than it was due. ka applegate is a genius

Does Applegate even know how many weird green anarchists she created by writing animorphs it feels like any time I go to an eco defense thing or even just a punk party in the woods I meet at least 2 more animorphs fans

MORE SCHOOL DOODLES

So uh I was trying to meet my goal of drawing every KG character by the end of the school day but. I ended up only getting the the KG1 kids +Applegate

These were super rushed so don't mind any extra lines, they were probably accidental (the thing on Applegate's neck, whatever the hell is going on with Cindy's hand, etc.)

Oh yeah and here are some of my OCs

They were also very rushed so PLEASE IM BEGGING YOU DONT PAY ATTENTION TO WHATEVER IS GOING ON WITH DIAMOND (the one in the wheelchair)

[lilliankillthisman]

Also apparently "to hook up" meant to meet up, with friends, back in the 90s? Or K.A. Applegate thought it did.

For Anyone's Bachelor/ette Challenge: Two More BC Hopefuls

1. Jessa Applegate (fake occult)

Age: Young Adult

Pronouns: She/Her

Orientation: Pansexual

Aspiration: Sucessful Lineage

Traits: Cultured, Generous, Jealous, Child Of The Ocean, Moody

Bio: Yes, she's a demon-elf. No She's not evil. Her mom was a demon, her dad was an elf, whose father was a vampire, and her mom's mother was a mermaid whose sea-loving tendencies were passed down to Jessa. She's an amalgamation of all the supernatural in the world, and she hates the confusion it brings her. (But she'll be damned if she doesn't look fly while doing it.) Will ever find a sim who understands her better than she understands herself?

2. Kirby Kidd

Age: Young Adult

Pronouns: He/Him

Orientation: Straight

Aspiration: Friend Of The World

Traits: Generous, Festive, Charming, Cat Lover, Drunkard

Bio: The cutest, nerdiest, funniest and loneliest guy you'll ever meet, Kirby Kidd is an up-coming comedian who moved to Del Sol to shack up with five other like-minded roommates and achieve his dreams. He's been going viral for his hysterical takes on current events, both light and heavy, with a baby faced smile and nervous delivery. Everyone loves that persona. But it's not a persona. He is nervous. All the time. And no matter how much he drinks, he can never loosen up enough to flow naturally with other people if he's not onstage or making everyone in the room laugh. Will he ever feel safe enough with someone to truly relax, open his heart, and take a chance on love?
