Anya and Alan welcome Poetry to talk about the influential Animorphs series by Katherine Applegate. We discuss the whole series but focus on “The Departure” Book 19. When is a kids series not just a kids series? When the real monster is war! There are monsters on both sides, and heroes on both sides. Radical empathy might be the only path- or maybe just another weapon.
Poetry’s fan-fiction crossover is Daemorphing on AO3
Animorphs are a (fictional) thing
Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers is a (fictional) thing
Science Fantasy is a (meta-fictional) thing
Morph Club is a fun Animorphs podcast
Katherine Applegate’s letter to the fans about the end of Animorphs
Natural Kinds may or may not be a thing (but are a philosophical thing)
Karen is a meme
