Today sucks. If anyone is willing to reblog/reply with your favorite part of Animorphs, I would be forever grateful.

[wandringaesthetic]

The part from The Ellimist Chronicles where Toomin is trapped playing games for an eternity with Father, and they start playing a music performance game. hang on I'm actually going to pull it up and quote it:

I played of sadness. I played of loneliness. Despair. Love found and lost. I played of tragic misunderstanding and weary cynicism and defeat. I played of perseverance, endurance beyond all suffering. Endurance in the face of hopelessness, hope when even hope was a betrayal.

Animorphs is not something I generally recommend based on its prose. (I remember an interview with KA Applegate where she said something to the effect of she was writing from the POV of teenagers and trying to sound like teenagers think they sound--which I think she succeeded at!) But this whole passage is beautiful and that part in particular slays me. There is something so weird and wonderful about this book that is a tangentially related spinoff, arguably the weirdest chapter in an already weird series, having this in it. 40 or 50 books deep in this middle grade series you have this moment of distilled beauty and truth. It feels like a secret treasure to me. Who even read this?? Who appreciated this properly? Cathedrals everywhere for those with eyes to see. Damn.

Human relationships are not transactional but they are reciprocal, which I think many of you with your ‘i don’t owe anyone anything’ shtick are too happy to forget

[aromanticduck]

Transactional: everything has to be exactly 50/50 all the time, pay me back for the £5 sandwich or buy me something worth exactly £5, I refuse to make an effort for you if there’s nothing in it for me

Reciprocal: you were there for me when I needed help, and I’m going to do the same for you, it doesn’t matter if one of us needs more or is capable of less, because the point is not equivalent exchange but mutual care

in 2015 we didn’t have AI psychosis so people had to make do by believing a dress was white and gold

[thickness-protection-program]

Because it was

[queer-as-city-folk]

As a kid I always thought that if telepaths were real I'd know because of any of them tried to read my mind the firehouse of insane bullshit would make them drop to the ground screaming, if not actually explode.

My adolescent ADHD and Adult autism diagnosis were the opposite of a surprise.

Hi friend, sorry to bother you on this fine day, just wanted to let you know the anteater video is ai.

man... I thought I was pretty good at spotting AI videos. The fur texture in this one is really consistent, and other than the animal being affectionate (not unheard of with anteaters, there's a few videos out there pre genAI where they interact with their keepers) there's not a lot of visual cues for me to think AI at all. I had to go out of my way to open tiktok (yuck) and check the user's account- which is full of blatant, really ugly ai videos that have the classic 'weird smooth fur' and warping, and then there's this one that looks legit. The quality is MILES different. I'm confused.

Like normally I'd note if the shirt wrinkles funny or if the fur gets janky but it all seemed consistent to me idk man. Ty for informing me, I'll delete it later, but I wanna research why it looks that way compared to other GenAI videos first
