spoilers for ANIMORPHS

Anonymous: The Animorphs went through so many disgusting experiences. How jaded must they have been when the time came for them to dissect frogs in science class?

thejakeformerlyknownasprince:

Cassie: would be surprisingly zen about the whole thing. If anyone asked why she was so chill with this waste of life, she’d point out that the frogs had longer and higher-quality lives than any of the chickens in the nuggets served in the cafeteria. Plus, this is hardly her first (or hundredth) time seeing a dead animal, given her dad’s job.
Jake: would be sitting next to Cassie in silence, handing her the scalpel and accepting the liver and lungs from her as needed. Wouldn’t be paying any attention at all to the unit.
Rachel: would be fascinated, and would ask all kinds of unhinged questions. So that’s why when you stab someone in the lower abdomen they bleed out of the nose, and oh the way that you can kill someone by driving skull fragments into the brain makes so much more sense now! Rachel’s lab partner is edging away down the bench by the time she’s finished delightedly noting down on the worksheet that you could probably kill a frog — or a hypothetical 6’-tall frog who was shooting at you — just by removing one of its limbs with sufficient force.
Marco: would be doing that thing where he’s quietly disturbed, and loudly making jokes to cover for it. He’d be imitating Kermit with the dead frog as a mock puppet, using a bad French accent to critique the meat quality, kissing his frog on the mouth and then wailing “Prince Charming nooooo!” when this has no effect, and generally making himself a giant nuisance. He can’t suppress the obnoxiousness reflex, and anyway… it’s just a little guy. It didn’t ask for this. What a way to go out, gassed and then pinned to a board in 40 different pieces. And he’s definitely not thinking about that thing Cassie said about the chicken, no siree.
Tobias: would like to note that he had no idea those were frogs meant for a science class. Has every intention of suing the school for the massive stomachache he got from swallowing so much formaldehyde.

Jake: “Uh…Marco? Why is Ax wearing your pants… On his head?”

Marco: “I was trying to prove to him that Andalites could wear hats if they wanted to. See? It works!”

Ax: <Hello, Prince Jake. I have come to regret my life choices.>

andalite homeworld panorama that started as a warmup and ended up serious

a colored digital sketch of a night scene on the andalite homeworld, featuring many types of foliage and two andalites soaking in a small pool of water, silhouetted by two of the four full andalite moons

a midday scene on the andalite homeworld featuring two andalites relaxing in the grass under the shade of several garibah trees, a tall spaceport in the distance

a very unfinished sketch of a scene shot from the inside of a garibah tree, featuring a kafit bird preening its beak and an andalite walking on the ground below it.

concepts for the twelve-winged kafit bird, giving it a long, snakelike body and very small claws on the rear six wings, which adds the ability to perch on branches

a couple other thumbnails because i think worldbuilding is fun

a digital painting of the andalite homeworld as described in the animorphs series, featuring one tree that somewhat resembles earth flora, many lush swathes of grass in colors ranging from blue to green to red. their atmosphere is yellow and orange and their two suns are out, revealing the crescents of three out of four andalite moons. there are four andalites in the image, two in their home, one grazing under the shade of a very large fernlike plant, the other close to the camera in a patch of teal grass.

My other secret santa piece! I was inspired by the idea of eyeshine (or tapetum lucidum), and wanted to do a piece with Cassie!
I’m gonna do a bunch of reblogs, so brace yourself :D

posting frutiger animorph when they least expect it

digital painting of ax from animorphs, looking down at the camera in shock with one hoof and both hands raised, the sun blazing in the background and the earth directly behind his head, sunlight casting a severe lens glare and reflecting off the dome of the dome ship.

colored sketches of princess cadence, as a host to visser one (queen chrysalis) on the left, and as a young princess on the right. she has long fur in both, but her colors are very stark and desaturated when infested. her tail blade is in the shape of a heart. there is a note at the top that reads "oh my god waiiiiit....."

a colored sketch of princess cadence, implied to be her as a disgraced princess near the end of her career, with desaturated colors. there is a note written next to her that reads "does she look like that fucker from helluva boss. am i cooked" with a very angry reaction image below it

thought about it for too long. how do we feel about disgraced war princess mi-amore-cadenza and her fate to become host to the dastardly Visser One (chrysalis 562 or what evar….)

the mane six from my little pony as andalites, from left to right: pinkie pie, who is pink and blue and has curly fur, rainbow dash, who is mostly blue with a multicolored tail blade and hooves, twilight, who is purple and has tan markings in the shape of her cutie mark, applejack, who is mostly tan with teal accents and an orange tail blade and hooves, rarity, who is white and blue and has a long, curly forelock, and fluttershy, who is sitting like a borzoi and also has the long fur of a borzoi. they all have tail blade shapes aligning with their cutie marks and personalities
