Rottmnt!Casey Jones (Jr.) Design Is Fantastic And Here's Why:

nurse who's been watching me in a coma for the past 5 years:

i made a uquiz why are you in the pjo fandom lol

This

gotta be the equivalent to this

Sorry Aang, Zuko’s was cooler. Granted, that’s mostly because Zuko does things ten times more dramatically than everyone else. 

Katara should really be more careful though.

Ok love your thoughts on Animorphs tv series pacing. Hear me out: episode 1? Starts with *David’s* POV finding the cube, being attacked by Visser three and “rescued” by the animorphs, and given morphing power. Episode 2 starts with book 1 and progresses normally through the series from there

I think like “Machete order”, this really reframes the slow escalation of paranoia, and in episode one when these strangers show up and are like “Yes david you have to abandon your parents, they can’t be saved” you’re like “fuck these guys”

But by episode [redacted] of meeting david in animorphs pov, youre like “DAVID YOU MORON THEYRE LOST TO US GET IN THE FUCKING CAR”

And Jake goes from episode one “David, face reality, shit’s bad and your parents are a loss” to episode two Jake “of course i can save Tom”.

I love this, because it's a great way to throw the viewers right into the story. In the original series, it was necessary to give us some kind of origin for the Animorphs — it's a superhero story convention, it's important in a kids' series, it gives out exposition nice and slow, and it sets the tone of the books. However, there are a lot of things like "touching this box lets you turn into animals" and "the enemy are sea slugs who live in brains and eat in a cavern under the school" that you can simply show on TV without having to tell anyone. Concepts like "andalite navy" and "kandrona" can be conveyed with a few shots, so there's no need to have a scene where Elfangor explains them to Jake or brain-dumps them to Tobias.

This adaptation would probably lean more toward YA than middle grade, because it'd require trapping and/or killing the focal character, but I think YA would make sense for an Animorphs adaptation. YA series are more able to depict violence and body horror than children's shows, and Animorphs isn't Animorphs without realistic violence and body horror. There's also a lot of potential for making the conflict between David and Jake even more complex than it is in canon, if we don't see why Jake is the leader, only a bunch of his close friends insisting that it's for the best.

Prompt 1 ("it's mine now") for Animorphs with a Serious Injury Underreaction? Or any prompt with that really (my poor kiddos reacting to injury with "oh nooo, I liked this outfit, RIP my favorite sweater," while bystanders and/or whoever stabbed them in the first place watch in horror is my Pain Jam)

This is post series and consequently includes spoilers, and is an AU of canon, specifically that Ellimist Ex Machina AU I keep talking about writing, so if characterizations are off from the end of Book 54, that’s why.

1: “No. You buried your knife in my stomach, which means it’s mine now.”

Things Sargeant Vic Santorelli agreed to when he signed up to be part of this groundbreaking military training unity:

Learning how to turn into an animal

Things he did not agree to:

Being handed a knife by a girl younger than his sister and told to stab her in the chest

“Um,” Vic says, looking at the knife she’s handed him.  His fellow students are all too well-trained to actually blurt out what they’re thinking, but he sees them stare, flick glances at General Berenson in the corner.

(”You can just call me Jake,” their teacher said the first time they met.  “The title’s ridiculous and we all know it.“)

(”Yes, sir,” Berenson’s new students chorused obediently, and proceeded to never ever address him as Jake, because the title’s not ridiculous and they all know it.)

Berenson looks almost bored.  He certainly doesn’t seem concerned that his cousin might be getting stabbed herself with a Marine’s combat knife.  Berenson usually has about the emotive range that you’d expect from a hardened veteran–it’s hard to remember that he’s only eighteen, a full two months younger than the blonde staring Vic down–but he focuses like something predatory when he wants to, and apparently he doesn’t care to right now.

“I’d rather…not?” Vic finally says carefully.

Rachel scoffs, thrusts the hilt of the knife at him again.  She’s dressed in a leotard–a plain black one, not the official-issue morphing uniforms they were given at the start of this training.  “Don’t be a weenie.  Stab me with the knife.”
