i just caught a galvantula on a post of urs!! thought you might like to know :>

ah yes perfect, xkit knows :)

I've been rereading the animorphs series, and I wanted your thoughts on something. How different do you think the series would have gone if it had been written in the 2010s instead of the 90's-early 2000s?

“Marco, I’m not sure about this-”“DO IT FOR THE VINE, AX”

forreal tho, there’s the obvious difference in like, pop culture references and the technology available. plotlines concerning modern technology and things would definitely have occurred, but overall not effect the plot a great deal.i also like to think, especially concerning applegrant’s mutual desire to have explored those things in the books when they could have, things like racial and sexuality and gender diversity and ableism would have been better or more obviously handled. like, maybe be a lil more forthcoming about ax’s human morph not being white for one thing lol. the berensons being more explicitly jewish besides a single line, marco’s ethnicity being described in less dated, vague terms. and things like explicitly canon bisexual (and trans if i wanna get greedy) marco, the other animorphs or side characters being lgbt. mertil and gafinilan could FINALLY be mates instead of “really good friends.” (i have heard great things about grant’s Gone series wrt: LGBT representation. so one can only assume that would translate to how a modern animorphs series would be written.) also, the andalites not being quite so bizarrely sexist. like they’re aliens. cmon. they can be a morally grey race of douchebags for other reasons that aren’t so exhausting to read about. there were a lot of tropes used that are tired now but weren’t at the time animorphs was written, so in a modern series i think they’d be avoided.that’s all for things specifically that i think could be be changed with modern advantages and social climate!

plumedruler replied to your post: Playing Skyrim as a blind character more like...

I do the same thing, but with a deaf character! I have the game muted. It adds a bit of challenge, since you dont hear wolves or anything coming. Also i became the Listener.. my deaf character was the Listener.

That’s some irony for you I guess!

Realistically I can’t turn off my computer monitor and play since to me that’s not immersion, but plain silliness. Turning off your sound, yeah - but Skyrim is a hugely sight-oriented game. Since my character is a mage I simply decided that she finds her way around with magic (clairvoyance is a spell in canon!!! It doesn’t have to be a light, it can be sound too I’d think). She also has a follower who will probably tell her “uh, you’re walking right into a pack of wolves”.

But I really like her and also loudly proclaiming “I CAN’T SEE” to anyone who asks me to look at something. Sort of like Toph from A:tLA, people seem to forget she’s blind (but perhaps wearing a hood all the time doesn’t help). My friends certainly got a kick out of it anyway. My throat did not.

I like to think that perhaps the reason she got caught on the border in the first place is because she’s fucking blind and didn’t know she was trying to cross the border. Borders don’t really exist when you can’t tell where they are spatially!!

((her name is Theresa, after the blind woman in the Fable series and she’s a Breton))
