  • Animorphuckery Pilot: What Exactly Will Animorphuckery Say About Animorphs?
    Nov 28 2021

    Who are we? Grown-ass neurodivergent millennials who are still hung up on our elementary-school hyperfixation. Why are we here? To take children's books way too seriously, or to acknowledge how serious these children's books are, depending on your perspective. What's our purpose in life? Purposes include:
    - Examining cultural and psychological themes that appeared in Animorphs,
    - Telling K. A. Applegate et al. how much we love them, but occasionally acknowledging we have some concerns,
    - Comparing Animorphs to other works of sci-fi, primarily Deep Space Nine,
    - Screaming nonsensically about our feelings,
    - And more!
