Guys Guys I Finally Did It I Finally Figured Out An Andalite-to-human Morph Sequence That WORKS

guys guys I finally did it I finally figured out an Andalite-to-human morph sequence that WORKS

Though it got cut off a little at the edges... stupid scanner isn’t quite big enough for my notebook *kicks (gently)*

In all seriousness you guys have no idea how long I’ve been trying to do this; I can draw human morph sequences with very few problems, but Andalites just cause so many problems when I’m drawing morph sequences! I must have attempted this at least twenty times before I finally nailed it down yesterday. I left the skeletons underneath intact, since a) I usually ONLY draw the skeletons but I got uber-excited over this so I actually finished it more or less, and b) I’d like to be able to do it again maybe at some point in the future, and leaving the skeletons intact seems like the best way to do that.

Yes, I do have a rough design for Muffet’s mother, along with a rather in-depth headcanon about Muffet, her mother, and her age (both physical and actual), but I won’t go into those here. Possibly in another post. The captions on the right, which got a little cut off while scanning, read:

*The spiders are our cousins. I am their queen, as you will be someday, and they are very much like us - but many people hate them. That is why we must protect them.

*Because they fear them.

*That, my little miss Muffet, I do not know.

Funny little thing happened

((So in band today, the teacher was yelling at someone (I want to say the trumpets) for repeatedly miscounting a half note (for those non-musicians, it’s meant to be played two beats, but they were playing it like one beat or something idk exactly), and the conversation went like this:

“How long is a half note if it’s followed by a half note?”

“Two beats.”

“If it’s followed by a quarter note?”

“Two beats.”

“If it’s followed by a blue-faced alien?”

“Two beats.”

I almost started laughing hysterically in the middle of class, though, and later drew up a response...

A half note, followed by a blue-faced alien. Be careful what you wish for

My only annoyance with her is some of her morph descriptions. Birds do not have backwards knees; what we think of as the “backwards knee” sometimes is actually the equivalent of the human heel. And horses and other unguligrades (hooved animals) don’t have four knees. The “knee” of the front leg is the equivalent of the human wrist, or the carpus. I mean, really, if you’re going to write about humans turning into animals, do your research on animal anatomy

Can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that K.A. Applegate might be the only sci-fi writer EVER who both (a) condemns the mass killing of aliens even if they are attacking the earth AND (b) shows why it’s sort of necessary in the situation?

It seems like too many other sci-fi stories go the route of Avengers or Doctor Who (S1) or Independence Day where a protagonist wiping out thousands of aliens is portrayed as uncomplicated heroism and we all celebrate at the end. Either that or they go the route of Avatar the Last Airbender (S3) or Buffy the Vampire Slayer (S5) where the characters that don’t want to engage in violence don’t have to get their hands dirty because a deus ex machina comes along and prevents that from having to happen.  In both cases doing the right thing is also a matter of doing the easy thing.

Applegate, by contrast, doesn’t let her characters get away with an uncomplicated happy ending.  She doesn’t say “they were aliens so it’s okay to kill them,” and she doesn’t offer them a third way out of their impossible choice.  She gets into the hell that is war and doesn’t use the sci-fi genre to let her gloss over the dirty details.

Whoops. Heh.

((So I just noticed I posted those last two Undertale things on this blog... whoops. That’s what I get for making this my primary blog instead of my actual personal one, courtesy of my failing to understand how tumblr worked when I started both. Sorry. :P))

EDIT: The mun is having serious difficulties with this, as she managed somehow to not only repost one of the posts in question onto this blog AGAIN, but is now struggling to delete it. Please stand by during our technical difficulties. Thank you for your patience.
