Hey guys I don’t know if anyone has made a post about this yet so I’m going to: Please block the blog reblogginganyway, post haste. Just like the URL implies its reblogging posts that people do not want reblogged. I find this one in particular to be souly malicious because its going as far as to take screen shots of content under read mores and in tags to attach to the post so even if you delete the post your content will still be on their blog regardless.
My only annoyance with her is some of her morph descriptions. Birds do not have backwards knees; what we think of as the “backwards knee” sometimes is actually the equivalent of the human heel. And horses and other unguligrades (hooved animals) don’t have four knees. The “knee” of the front leg is the equivalent of the human wrist, or the carpus. I mean, really, if you’re going to write about humans turning into animals, do your research on animal anatomy
Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that K.A. Applegate might be the only sci-fi writer EVER who both (a) condemns the mass killing of aliens even if they are attacking the earth AND (b) shows why it’s sort of necessary in the situation?
It seems like too many other sci-fi stories go the route of Avengers or Doctor Who (S1) or Independence Day where a protagonist wiping out thousands of aliens is portrayed as uncomplicated heroism and we all celebrate at the end. Either that or they go the route of Avatar the Last Airbender (S3) or Buffy the Vampire Slayer (S5) where the characters that don’t want to engage in violence don’t have to get their hands dirty because a deus ex machina comes along and prevents that from having to happen. In both cases doing the right thing is also a matter of doing the easy thing.
Applegate, by contrast, doesn’t let her characters get away with an uncomplicated happy ending. She doesn’t say “they were aliens so it’s okay to kill them,” and she doesn’t offer them a third way out of their impossible choice. She gets into the hell that is war and doesn’t use the sci-fi genre to let her gloss over the dirty details.
So what's your favorite color? Do you have a favorite food? Favorite activity to do?
(Text:
Korr: I don’t know about favorite, but I’ve always liked the color red. The sky is nice. Still sometimes a bit weird that Earth’s sky is blue.
Korr: And FOOD! Where do I even start??
Korr: Ice cream. It’s so good, but if you eat it too fast, it hurts your head?? And soda? Carbonation? Who would have thought of that? And oh my stars, raspberries - I can’t choose!
Korr: And activities, ah! –Let me show you.
Korr: En guarde! (Did I say that right?)Eliza: Korr? What’s going on?
Korr: Oh! Eliza! I was just going to show the askers some tail-fighting.Eliza: The who?)
Mun: I probably won’t answer most asks with this many panels… took me way too long. But it was fun to draw andalites again!
I mean, Humans didn't start right of doing those things Korr. Someone had to invent those ideas. by the way, the 'knifeshoes' are called ice skates. I wouldn't recommend trying it, mainly because it requires a skilled balance I'm sure someone only morphed human wouldn't achieve. Heck, I'm a real human and I enjoy slipping on the ice more than skating on it. By the way, have you tasted human food yet?
Korr: I suppose that makes sense. I have enough trouble tailless and with two hooves - feet - even on solid ground.
Korr: And oh, yes! Human taste buds are really quite marvelous.
Button Eyes: whoever sends this has ownership of a voodoo doll especially made for my muse, and can inflict harm on them at will. Lasts as long as they want.
Bad Luck: muse has a classic case of bad luck and nothing will go right for them for a full day.
The Crying Boy: muse feels like their insides are on fire. Lasts a full day.
Lost Soul: muse is stuck in a ghostly dimension; they can see everything going on around them, but no one can see or hear them. Lasts two days.
Worst Fears: muse is haunted by the thing(s) that scare them the most. Lasts a full day.
Kennedy: bad luck follows not only my muse, but all of their friends and family as well! (Ask permission from other muns before involving anyone else in this curse). Lasts two days.
Seeing Red: muse sees blood everywhere they look. Bonus points if they’re afraid or disgusted by blood. Lasts a full day.
Murrain: muse is deathly ill. Lasts two days.
Ravenous: muse is constantly starving but cannot be satisfied. Lasts two days.
Loathly: muse is transformed, becoming increasingly more haggard and/or monstrous in appearance. An act of kindness towards them will break the curse.
A New Roommate: an evil spirit possesses my muse’s body. How it behaves is up to the mun. Lasts three days.
Followed: spirits from my muse’s past are following them around. Lasts two days.
Not a Wink: muse can’t sleep no matter how tired they feel. Lasts three days.
The Bell Witch: muse’s home is plagued by relentless poltergeist activity. Lasts two days.
If you could morph anything you want , right here, right now, what would you morph?
(sorry this one took me a while to get to; I had graduation get in the way. Also, I hate how much shorter humans are than andalites, because it constantly puts Eliza almost out of frame by accident.)
(Text:
Korr: Maybe it’s a little childish of me, but - I’d like to morph a kafit bird again. It’s been a long time.
Korr: How about you, Eliza?Eliza: I dunno. Something deep ocean maybe - a whale or a shark or something.)
