Worst Animorphs book title?

#5: The Predator (what predator? whomst?)

#23: The Pretender (title spoils the twist about Aria)

#27: The Exposed (deep underwater ≠ exposed. kind of the opposite actually.)

#31: The Conspiracy (who's conspiring? and why do they suck at it?)

#40: The Other (unintentionally hilarious, in the "funny aneurysm" sense)

#43: The Test (Tobias doesn't even go here! He dropped out!)

#50: The Ultimate (it's clear you were running out of titles at this point)

#51: The Absolute (see above)

Visser (why not call it the Yeerk Chronicles? Whyyyyy?)

IDK, I've never read Animorphs

#animorphs #poll #animorphs books #animorphs spoilers (oblique)#salty poll brought to you by my undending salt over how dumb The Ultimate and The Absolute are as titles #especially when compared to The Sacrifice & The Answer & The Beginning #+ everything with Visser #parallel structure #or LACK THEREOF

Still in the trenches, but I just wanted to propose a new idea:

Revolving multiself structure

Where one being "has" multiselves, or where one self sees themselves as the "anchor" for their other selves

Parallel multiself structure

Where all selves are parallel to each other. Where there is no "anchor", and selves are all equally one being

Mixed multiself strucutre

Where there are multiple "anchors" within a cluster

Structurefluid

(i previously coined this as mulseflux)

Where the clusters structure changes over time

You ever remember how in the New York Theatre Workshop production of Hadestown when Persephone accuses Hades of cutting her time in the upper world short, the exchange is

Persephone: You're early.

Hades: I missed you.

And then that exchange is mirrored at the very end of the musical when Orpheus turns around on the threshold of the upper world, thus dooming Eurydice to eternity in Hadestown?

Eurydice: You're early.

Orpheus: I missed you.

And how that humanizes both relationships, how so often readers of the Orpheus myth rail against the hero's stupidity because he was so close and he turned right at the cusp of success and it's Eurydice who suffers the consequences, but Hadestown says, yeah, both these men fuck up deeply, but it's human, it's so human. You miss someone, you want to see them, you turn around.

I just can't get over it.
