Not only are all the Animorphs trans and not straight, they’re all also autistic.
I followed that 90s anime tutorial, because if there’s anyone who deserves to be drawn as a 90s anime its my favorite 90s kids.

jakecassie post-war
in a world were jakecassie was canon after 54 and the animorphs stick together... here’s some cute headcanons
cassie is seeking recovery for the both of them. because jake already loves dogs (think: homer) and cassie loves animals she applies for a trained therapy dog.
jake’s kinda grumpy about it at first, he doesn’t really see how a dog’s gonna help. he actually really warms up to the idea. dogs are one of the few morphs they didn’t have trauma associated with.
cassie’s day jobs include working with some nonprofits and doing vet stuff. she takes pictures of all the good stuff and hangs them around the house for good memories.
jake works at a firehouse twice a week. the rescue work is fulfilling and also invigorating but he still is having a hard time coping post-war, so he doesn’t work often. during the day he cleans and practices cooking and other tasks at home. he has a meal ready for cassie every evening she comes home. 8/10 times its NOT very good but cassie insists “you’re getting better, i loVE your meals honey i promise”
eventually he’s a pretty darn good cook. jake makes some killer ass lasagna.
they eat lunch together almost every day. sometimes jake makes food and sometimes they buy something. but they always eat in one little quiet park. because jake avoids the media people still walk up to him to talk. it’s the best place for their privacy.
they spend the nights cuddling and watching as many bad netflix shows and documentaries as possible
they mostly talk through them though. there’s a lot to talk about
jake is almost always the big spoon because he feels safest when his arms are wrapped around her (he’s protective shhhh)
when they gets sleepy jake tells shitty jokes till they finally falls asleep.
they hang out with marco once a week or every two weeks. for about a month all three took kickboxing classes together till marco and jake had a playful fight
jake pretended he was grumpy because he got his ass kicked but cassie knew he loved it because it felt like old times
(but don’t ever bring up that jake’s 6 foot ass got whooped by someone barely notching 5 feet. it absolutely didn’t happen.)
tobias talks to cassie. jake knows it. he comes with her sometimes but he rarely speaks to tobias.
cassie insists that the two should talk sometime.
slowly, they exchange words, but it’s never the same.
they spend saturdays together doing whatever. sometimes they volunteer. sometimes they stay at home. sometimes they go out. sometimes jake will go out to the local basketball court. sometimes cassie will insist they visit the park. but they always make time to rest, too. some days they need that more than others
they do the same thing every sunday. they go to the local community center that used to belong to the sharing. they volunteer. talk to locals. try to bond with former controllers.
and in the evening, they visit tom’s and rachel’s memorial. cassie kneels by tom’s memorial and will sometimes hold jake’s hand. he doesn’t say anything, but he rubs his thumb over tom’s name.
cassie leans right up against rachel’s memorial. she brings her pictures and talks about everything from the past week. she cries before leaving. jake doesn’t say anything. but he holds on to the edge of the memorial.
they go home and try to talk about what happened. but mostly they hold each other and remind each other it’s okay. they remind each other they’re alive. they remind each other that’s a good thing.
when jake has a breakdown, it’s either angry or quiet with no inbetween. he tries to hide it but cassie always sees it coming. she stays close to him, not saying much until he’s ready.
jake knows immediately when cassie is suffering. everything about her is different. he stays close and lets her open up, holding her when she can’t hold herself.
cassie is extremely protective of jake and vice versa. for the most part, they try to live their lives in private. but if there’s one image they try to show to the public its that they stand together.
hello!! do you have any headcanons about ax's childhood
hey there!! I absolutely do!!! (I’m gonna seperate them by the “stages” of childhood)
so sorry it took so long to get to this one!
Infancy I’m not too sure about canon chronological order but certainly Elfangor was a hero when Ax was first born. i think Elfangor was closest to his brother at this time. He makes time between his busy life to visit Ax as much as possible.
Early childhoodI think Ax was honestly THE most active and wild Andalite child. Like, he’d be the type to trample all through the scoop and make a mess of things, exhausting his parents. Baby Ax absolutely idolized his big-brother Elfangor and proclaimed he was gonna be just like him when he grew up.
School ageI think this is when Elfangor reached prince-status and probably began to interact with Ax less. I think this is also when Ax fell beneath the shadow of his brother. I like to think Ax was really the social-gossipy-opinionated type in school (after all, he’d want to stand out so people would stop comparing him to his brother). I think he may have been a little bit of a troublemaker at times too! We know there were lots of times when he told the Animorphs he was distracted during a lesson and thus didn’t have any information he could give them…
Ax flirting with fellow peers during a lesson? Yes. Ax getting distracted and goofing off during a lesson? Yes. Super popular socialite Ax? yes.
However, I also feel like Andalite war culture at that time would cause people to look down on Ax- after all, he is the brother of a war prince. I’ve always seen Ax as the type to act one way yet feel another. So he feels particularly inclined to smooth over his feelings by acting a certain way.
At the same time, I feel like he probably wasn’t aware he did some of these things. Ax may have been a bit of an oblivious kid at first, just trying to differentiate himself from His Older Brother, The Prince. And maybe some actions unintentionally slipped out from that
Pre-adolescenceThis is when I’d assume the Andalite society started training arisths for war. I like to believe this is when he’d wise up, knowing that he has a big standard to live up to. I think during all this time he still really admired his brother. But I also think that maybe the culture around Elfangor’s life didn’t allow him to show Ax even the slightest bit of affection.
AdolescenceThis is basically all the times spent with the other Animorphs. I don’t have much for hcs here, but @chlorentine believes that Ax was physically stunted for growth because of all the time on Earth (different environments, grasses, air, etc). I absolutely agree with that!
Animorphs Battle Markings AU
This was actually an AU I came up with quite a while back but haven’t gotten time to develop.
The premise is that in canon Animorphs (including Ax, and also any other morph-capable beings) don’t develop physical scars on their natural form from battle wounds received in morph. But in this AU, any injuries they receive in morph appear as skin discoloration/marks/conditions in their natural form.
Rachel and Jake develop freckles.
Marco’s skin peels.
Cassie has discoloration.
Tobias develops striping/speckles on his feathers.
Ax’s fur brightens and spots (and this happens with all Andalites).
As all scars, these marks can and will fade. But with their constant battling, it always comes back. Some of the more severe injuries leave very permanent/long lasting marks.
(meat of the post under the cut!)
Keep reading
Concerning Ax: because andalites dont usually use tailfighting or morphing as frequently as they used to (shredders and aerial battles being the key reason), Ax has more morph-wound marks than he has ever seen on an andalite. Of andalites his age and even many older than him, he’s basically the only one that has more than one or two. He feels downright ashamed of them.
Consider: Andalites being a telepathic species, their puberty doesn't include voice cracks. So Ax is confused every time he hears one
This is adorable? Imagine Ax imitating the voice cracks because he think it’s just a speech quirk of humans. Marco, Tobias, and Jake try to explain over and over that he doesn’t need to crack his voice but eventually Ax just does it for the heck of it.
Ax being confused by human puberty in general is a pretty interesting idea. Jake gets his Adam’s apple first out of all the guys and first thing Ax does is freak out, thinking he has a tumor or something.
The kids freaking out as Ax goes through his Andalite puberty is also pretty likely!

Reminder that asks/submissions are open!
I've got some posts planned either way but if you have headcanons or au/headcanon requests, feel free to send them in!
Cassie: Maybe not all yeerks are bad
Ax:
Marco: tells a joke

A Jake x Tobias doodle, and a speedpaint jsdkfl i just started a channel and so far only have a few videos but yea!! Let Tobias be gay! Let him have a boyfriend! Let that boyfriend be Jake!
“Cassie, I’d rather shovel shit with you than do homework by myself anyday.”
sooo i think im back on an art grind? finally lol so of course i had to draw some animorphs! hope u like!
i actually headcanon marco being the youngest! i like to hc that he skipped a grade when he was younger, and that this would also account for why he's the smallest out of all of them. (and i hc ax being the oldest! you know, in relative years, lol.)
I used to headcanon Ax as the oldest too! I think that very first scene where the Animorphs met Ax underwater had me under the impression he was like 16 to their 13, but it turned out later he was closer to their age as well. Marco skipping a grade is an interesting idea, though…
I headcanon that Tobias is the youngest of the group. Maybe 12 to their 13.
I can see this! If anything, the age difference could have been another reason people mistreated him when he was human. I tend to headcanon Marco being the oldest though, with him around 14 when they’re 13.
If anything, I like to imagine Marco holding his measly 1 year above the others (but still getting talked down by Jake pft). It’s almost instinct to want to see Jake as the oldest, but considering how Marco always comments on his best friend showing so many years in the face, I think it’d be fitting for Marco to be a bit older.
Finally got the OK to post these: I got a chance to do some sample pages for a potential Animorphs graphic novel. They ended up deciding to go in a different direction, but I’m real happy with how these turned out! I love these characters and adapting parts of the first book into comic format was satisfying and challenging and fun. Especially figuring out how the heck to draw morphing! And what clothes to give everyone! This whole process made me want to work harder to make my own thing I love as much as this.
Anyway I hope you enjoy!
this? is the most beautiful thing ive seen this year
The Grand Unifying Theory of Oatmeal
Oatmeal addiction seems to show up just once, as a one-off about chemical warfare (similar to bioweapons in 38), and then vanishes. But where did it come from? Where did the stockpiles of oatmeal by the Yeerk pool go? Are there still oatmeal addicts?
Research & Development: In 16, the Animorphs encounter Joe Bob Fenestre, a controller who has learned to live without Kandrona by a substance made from cannibalizing his fellow Yeerks. By the end of the book, Joe Bob Fenestre’s house has been burned down, and he has gone missing, never to be seen again. But perhaps he was captured by his twin, Visser 3, who rather than being just horrified by the cannibalism, also finds it interesting.
Visser 3 gets his scientists to research the substance that Joe Bob creates from Yeerks to see if they can synthesis it, replacing pools with an oral supplement. They find out that Maple & Ginger instant oatmeal has all the necessary chemicals to reproduce the process, and costs no Yeerk lives. Unfortunately, it also drives Yeerks crazy, and even if Joe Bob is still alive for them to study, he’s already crazy as it is.
While the majority of Yeerks abstain from oatmeal, some are power-hungry and crazy enough to try it. This is where Taylor comes in. The girl is already insane, and the Yeerk that infests her has such a strong drive to gain power, that they will do anything to get it. This accounts for the insanity, blurred line between Yeerk and host, and uncontrolled switching that Tobias sees in #33. It’s not simply that Taylor was crazy and drove the Yeerk insane with her, it’s that they are fused, mixed together by a combination of drugs (oatmeal) and absolutely no time apart from each other for years on end. This also explains how the Yeerk was able to survive without Kandrona for a while in 43 as part of pretending to be part of a rebel Yeerk faction, and why the real Taylor, whose personality has been subsumed through force of will, not biological Yeerk control, is able to break free and whisper “Don’t trust her” for a moment in #43. There may be other oatmeal addicts among the Yeerks, but Taylor shows us the true horror of that addiction.
Blogger comments: Honestly, Taylor being an oatmeal addict is the most likely reason for her behavior. I think it’s possible that perhaps she was the first one to try it at all. Taylor and the Yeerk were really blurred together by the time we met them in 33 and even more in 43.
While Edelman’s situation with the Yeerk (#17) was awful, I also think he still had a sense of self. But Taylor and the Yeerk were experiencing serious identity issues by the time we met them-- maybe because they had been addicted to oatmeal for so long, longer than any Yeerk that tried it as an experiment.
