Sage Thoughts: Sooo...
Would anybody be interested in coming over for a Halloween Party this year? The one last year was really fun and this one will probably be even better! Let’s see if we get another blizzard XD
We’re like 90% sure we’re having one…it would be 100% but we’re actually setting up a rec room in our…
I WOULD COME. Give me the date. I want to be there again! Last year was so fun. I’ll make sure to bring Chris this time.
Just let me know when you do it. I have a work party to go to, although I’m not sure when that is. Hopefully it’s not the night before halloween….if nothing else I’d just come over super late.
Yeah bring Chris! It would be lots of fun to hang out with him again!
We’re definitely having it on a weekend, like Friday or Saturday night. We’re just not sure which weekend lol. I’ll let you know!
So it wouldn’t necessarily be the night before? That’s cool : D just let me know~ I’m so excited now!
lol Niki Halloween is on a Wednesday. We definitely won’t have the party Tuesday night XD

We’re like 90% sure we’re having one…it would be 100% but we’re actually setting up a rec room in our basement and although the construction SHOULD be done in the next couple weeks we’re not quite sure.
So this is just me putting out feelers…would anybody want to come? We’re also not sure yet if we’ll do the weekend before or after Halloween so let me know if one works better for you!
I’m Glad You Decided To Ignore Me
Twice now to be exact. After all…
And now that you’ve acted even worse than I did it will be even easier for me to be mad at you for days. That is what you were trying for isn’t it?
Would Anybody Follow Me…
…if I live tweeted reading the Animorphs books? Like not just reviews after I finished but tweeted random funny lines and reactions while I read? I’d prefer tumblr but I have issues with tumblr mobile apps and I am definitely not going to get much reading done if I have to go on my comp every time something funny happens. Unless somebody thinks of a better way?
I don’t know is this dumb? I thought of it while drunk so I’m sure it’s at least a little dumb. Anybody wanna watch me be dumb?
Worst Part About Drinking
At least for me, is that it’s really hard for me to get drunk. Or even really buzzed.
Unless I keep drinking I just…metabolise it? Pee it out? IDK but I had the best buzz while I was still drinking and now I feel completely sober. I just start sobering up as soon as I stop drinking. Helpful I suppose if I needed to sober up, but when I have nothing to do and don’t really want to finish a bottle of rum by myself it’s kind of really annoying.
Day Thirty: Your thoughts on the ending.
Here is your only warning of the SPOILERS ahead.
Well…I hate it and I love it. I mean WHY WHY WHY would she do that?!?! So much pain and heartache and death. I don’t even LIKE Rachel and I still cried like a baby. And the Auxillaries…we didn’t even know most of their NAMES. And then the time skip and everyone’s depressed and Jake and Cassie broke up (though she didn’t deserve him anyway dammit) and Tobias is so alone and Ax is gone and then the fucking One and “Ram the Blade ship” and ALL MY FUCKING TEARS.
But at the same time…it was a war. No wars have happy endings (except for Harry Potter but then I guess his life sucked so much anything was better). Everyone was depressed because their childhood was spent killing aliens. Jake ordered his cousin to kill his brother. Marco…well he had just all the fuckedupness with his mom going on in those 3 years. Tobias lost his love. Ax had to choose a home and he went back to his family. Cassie…well Cassie stopped having to kill people so she was perfectly happy with all the morality rainbows she was shooting out her butt.
They had to move on with their lives the best they could and K.A. really reflected that. She taught her fans that war and death didn’t end well, no matter who won. But sometimes freedom is worth that consequence. So as much as I hate this ending I also really love it. Because for a children’s sci fi series that’s as far from reality as possible…it was real.
Day Twenty-Nine: Your favourite alien species.
Difficult…I know it’s not the Andalites. As cool as they’re supposed to be, they always bored me. I mean I love Ax and Elfangor but as a whole, the Andalites seem too stuffy and militaristic for my tastes.
I always like the yeerks except…not really. The ones who are actually nice are really cool and make me like the yeerks, but for the most part…yeerks are just parasites.
Hork-Bajir are too dumb, Arn are too arrogant, Taxxons are too hungry, Pemalites are were too trusting, Helmacrons are too violent…
You know I think I’ll go with the Ketrans. They were a cool people. And they had that awesome game that I would love to play. Yeah Ketrans.
My Queue is Being Stupid
It’s holding the posts, deciding times to post them, all that good stuff. It’s just not actually posting them >.>
Luckily I’ve been up all night so I can just click ‘publish’ every now and then. But goddammit queue stop being dumb.
Day Twenty-Eight: The Ellimist or Crayak?
The Ellimist!
Aside from him being, you know, the good guy, his story is just awesome. He’s a nerd who became a super nerd and then nerdified the rest of the universe. The ultimate nerdfighter. He’s got the most epic video game of all time and he’ll never be bored of it. He’s just that epic.
Day Twenty-Seven: <We are the Helmacrons, lords of the galaxy!>
Yeah, sure you are. Listen, mind telling me how you got all those men enslaved? Cuz there’s a few guys around here that could really use some of your um…charm.
Fuck.
Day Twenty-Six: Would you be for or against an Animorphs movie?
For, definitely, as long as it was made by the fans and had a BIG budget.
I know there are people who disagree, but I think a movie adaptation of a book should be as true and faithful to the book as possible. Usually a fan will do that and still be able to make necessary changes. And if we could work together I know we’d make a KICKASS movie script that would work as a stand alone and still be open to sequels. Because this is an awesome fandom and I have faith in us. Plus a good number of us have been writing Animorph movie scripts for the last 10 years.
But we’d also need a big budget if we want to avoid anymore arm wrestling puppet Andalites. And we do want to avoid that don’t we. As much as we all hate love the tv show, it would be really great if we can afford to show off Animorphs the way it should be. Which is probably a rated R totally CG action/horror/sci fi movie ala 300. How else are we gonna show Rachel getting her bear arm torn off and then beating someone with it?
Day Twenty-Five: If you could make one change to the series, what would it be?
I’d be in it!
Ok seriously, I’d probably introduce the Auxillary Animorphs earlier on. I always believed they should have introduced more people to the group earlier, either as back up or side teams. Even without starting an all out war, sooo many more guerrilla attacks could have been done if they had side teams. Have Rachel, Marco, and Ax all lead a separate team of Animorphs. Cassie doesn’t feel like fighting? No need to be a wolf short. Jake’s dad wants to take a family vacation? Send Tobias and a few Auxiliaries to help out with Tom. Having trouble doing surveillance around school and sleep? Pair up with an Auxiliary instead. And this is assuming they want to be extra careful and keep an eye on them. I’m sure some of them would earn enough trust to be out on missions alone.
Oh and if I had a second change? I’d go back and look for the morphing cube fucking ASAP. And then have Ax keep it in his scoop and only tell Tobias or Jake. David would never be an issue, the Helmacrons…well that might just be a different set of issues actually, and maybe less chance of the yeerks getting the cube. Honestly I just don’t trust Cassie with it anymore XP
Day Twenty-Four: Who do you think matured the most throughout the series?
Keeping in mind that I haven’t read most of the series in a few years…I think Ax.
He started out as a good, young soldier. He always looked to his leader and followed orders. When in doubt, follow the chain of command. But a lot of times that meant he didn’t really consider his choices, or went along with something he disagreed with just because his Prince told him to.
Now I know that being a mature adult sometimes means doing things you don’t want to, but there is a definite maturity that comes with thinking through your choices and sticking with what you believe is right, even when your commanding officer tells you otherwise. Ax learned a lot of that in 18, showed some more in 38, and by the end of the series it was hard to know who the hell was giving him orders. Compared to the obedient aristh from the beginning of the series, he was a completely different Andalite. That’s maturity.
