I was about to go to sleep when my brain reminded me that tomorrow is the day MatPat officially retires from Game Theory and the other Theory channels 🥲

What animorphs fics would you recommend by yourself or others, for people who haven't read any of them yet?
Anything by Poetry/@featherquillpen! I've read a bunch of their crossovers and enjoyed every one. They're masterful at capturing the goofy-yet-horrifying tone of Animorphs, and with unexpected crossovers. Though I haven't gotten around to reading Daemorphing, I've head good things and can recommend by proxy. That's my single biggest author rec. Fic recs:
Elfangor's Folly by Kim Hoppy is an excellent longfic series retelling. The premise is exactly what the name suggests — Elfangor survives the first book and stays on Earth. My favorite part of this one is the author's ability to capture the subtly-unreliable narration of Animorphs with Elfangor's voice.
Take Me Out by neinlives is a delightful piece about the Animorphs grown up and going to college, half crack half sweetness.
The Wheel by L. Emmist is the reason my date once asked me "Why do you have a picture of a yeerk in a condom on your window?" and that's all you need to know about it.
Animorphs: Facebook News Feed Edition by Ember Nickel is exactly what the title suggests; never have I laughed so hard about Tom's death.
Speaking of which, The Tocsin by tptigger is a brilliant speculative story about Tom becoming reluctant host to a member of the Yeerk Peace Movement, and thus an even more reluctant Auxiliary Animorph.
I know I'm forgetting a bunch — I'm terrible at remembering to bookmark — so other people please weigh in with recs!

fave lyrics from "the world was wide enough"?
the sun is in my eyes, i am almost giddy as i watch it slowly rise over my new york city... never mind, let's go:
they won't teach you this in your classes, but look it up, hamilton was wearing his glasses... why? if not to take deadly aim? it's him or me, the world will never be the same... i had only one thought before the slaughter: this man will not make an orphan of my daughter - burr, honey, why are you being so fucking dramatic
the entire hamilton's part because it's amazing, but especially the lines there is no beat, no melody (cause there really was no melody, shit) & america, you great unfinished symphony & raise a glass to freedom being his last words
when alexander aimed at the sky he may have been the first one to die, but i'm the one who paid for it, i survived, but i paid for it - to the tune of wait for it... lin, stop.
bonus 1: ok, so that first quote i used is from the workshop version of the song that was called ten things, one thing & it's so much different than the final version, it is essential for you to listen to it now, it's incredible:
bonus 2: seriously one of my favourite things:
