What it's like imagining yourself in one of these books.
Harry Potter: Your superior blood makes you worthy of wielding power that your lessers couldn't even dream of, plus you're rich!
Animorphs: You need to wage a Maoist insurgency against the parasitic overlords taking over our society.
harry potter doesn't even have superior anything he kinda sucks at most things, his greatest skill is not telling dumbledore important information
Yeah, it's surprising that nerds liked a book about a dumb, popular high school sports star who grows up to become a cop because they related to the main character
Those books are crazy. Insane levels of violence and body horror. Also there's a part where they literally give disabled children the ability to turn into lions in order to draft them into the war against the aliens.
yeah there is just so much wild shit happening ALL the time.
-the part where Rachel is a starfish and kid fucking chops her in half, and each half demorphs into some very bizare good-evil freudian nightmare
-the part where a new kid finds the ability to morph, but goes crazy and so they trap him as a rat on an island in the middle of the water to live out the rest of his life.
-the part where jake gets captured and gets a yeerk, but the gang basically ties him up and lets the yeerk starve to death in his head and has a whole existential crisis. bonkers shit.
If it didn’t exist yesterday, we can make it exist tomorrow. MSM is powerful but not all-powerful.
true but also the time for 90's children's lit megafad permafranchises has passed and we have to look to the future.
