blast those ‘ceps, guys –Visser One
(click 2 view) people seemed to enjoy my Visser One so here’s more of her i really love making jokes about serious villains
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.)
some sketches of a very young Ax! He’s excited for his tail blade to grow in.
(the white spots on his back are baby camouflage– they’ll fade as he grows up.)
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.
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.
what are your morphs, if you have any? got a particular favorite?
My other morphs include the djabala, scorpion, white butterfly, donkey (long, long story), kestrel, and, of course, human.
((Mun’s note: definitely writing directly on the paper from now on, unless there are huge paragraphs for some reason. ...also, ignore that random faint Andalite in the second image. I was originally going to do a morph sequence but good gods Andalite morph sequences are hard to draw))
A super-belated celebration of hitting 1000 followers. The challenge? Draw your OC’s expression in/reacting to the listed situations. Do them in order or have followers send asks. Remember to reblog, not repost. Have fun! :D
Dropping ice cream on the ground
Finally completing a level in a video game they were stuck on for months
“Don’t touch me”
Alarm clock just went off
Just got assigned a lot of work
Watching a fictional character they love die
“Oh what’s that thing”
“aAGH I SHOULDN’T HAVE TOUCHED THAT THING”
Just actually slipped on a banana peel
Being blamed for something they didn’t do
Just ran for an extended period of time
Being sent an email that’s entirely in wingdings
Receiving anon hate
Having money thrown at them
Just brought fast food home and looked in the bag to see it’s not what they ordered
About to be hit in the face with a rotten tomato
Startled by a doorbell
Getting paid very little for a tedious task
Getting paid a lot for a tedious task
Failed to make a bubble with bubble gum
Just received socks as a gift
Seeing their favorite animal
Seeing their favorite person
Someone pronouncing their name horribly wrong
Eating something gross
Trying hard not to burst into tears in front of a crowd
Someone accidentally touches their sunburn
Realizing they spelled their own name wrong on something they gave to a friend
Booing someone off of a stage
Being booed off of a stage
Getting flipped off
Receiving an email with the entire Bee Movie script
Realizing they’re about to fall down the stairs
Having a fan blown in their face
About to tackle-hug someone
About to receive a tackle-hug
Accidentally burned themself with hot glue
Looking in the mirror and realizing someone drew on their face while they slept
Seeing something they desperately want to buy
Eating something hot and realizing it was probably too hot to eat
(Basically-dead askblog for an Andalite OC with an unnecessarily long name) | If you're wondering why the hell I followed you: if you are an otherkin blog: I'm @a-dragons-journal; if you are a SWTOR blog: I'm @dragonheart-swtor; if else: I'm @dragonheartftherpays. I accidentally made this my main when I joined and Tumblr is stupid and won't let you change that.
