I've been tempted to pick up Tobias, unsure about a journal name

Oh, man, it's been a hot minute but I'm Yon Fellow and I have a dusty old Rachel Berenson account with bad icons over at xenamorph.

Rachel <3

Post-canon Rachel, for maximum this is fine

oh gods lol

Look, it's just a little unprocessed PTSD and violent anger management problems. IT'S FIIIIIIIINE.

She wasn't expecting to have to worry about those, since, y'know

"A little"

AS A TREAT

V:

are you aware of the Cassie stuff coming out soon-ish?

Iiiiii am incredibly not!

sec!

equally dusty Elfangor over at hirac-delest.dreamwidth.... but i do like me a PSL. my plurk is private so DW DM is probably the best way to reach me i should just make a contact post

one and two

oh my god animorphs!! i am extremely slow and dusty, but i occasionally write jake @ notprincejake and would love psls if anyone is down. 🙏 dw pm or plurk pp are both good as contact options!

!

djtifaheart: yoooo i hadn’t heard about this either, this is rad

I don't go here but I'm thrilled to see this fandom still alive

quadrille: your journal name for jake is perfect

Yeah, it's real good

I'm just over here with my stupid pun

SicTheWolf: this fandom will never die, the sub reddit is crazy active

I've been thinking about a re-read too

I will go on record that book 33 is the best written ghost written book among that set

oh man that's good to hear!

update: made a contact post

honestly i love a punny username, i’m just terrible at coming up with them myself rofl

i’ve done a full-series reread as an adult and honestly the series as a whole holds up so well

it really does

some books do hit differently as an adult though

djtifaheart: What, no love for the beautifully crafted subtleties in book 28? /shot

there are some good liners in there

...oh I thought everybody else hated that one I know I sure did

Ax becoming addicted to commercials was fun or "Marco, think you can drive their truck?"
The rest of the cast: "oh fuck no" look, if Ax is scared of that shit, be afraid

Marco's fascinating relationship with vehicles is always good.

-"Do you just hate trashcans?"--

... dammit

POINT IS IT'S A GREAT RUNNING GAG but man that book wasn't... great for me.

oh that note, we needed more books with Ax/Tobias as the narrator, it always made me sad that I had to wait so long for the next Tobias or Ax book in the cycle

Agreed

that said, I am open to journal names for Tobias if anyone has ideas lol

this is the worst part about picking up characters for me

Oh man, that's hard.

YonFellow: mind if I add you, btw

Feel free!

The real problem isn't coming up with suggestions, it's coming up with suggestions that other people will like enough to use, lmfdjks

that's fair

once the journal name is squared away, the rest of it feels easy - make journal, icons, layout, etc

My brain keeps sticking on 'Halfangor' and that's actually awful but it's all my useless head can come up with

lol, that's actually not bad

I keep thinking of stuff and finding other Tobias accounts

okay this is totally not animorphs but I consider GONE to be like a sister series so I'll throw out there that I have a brianna journal

I have an Elfangor at notafairytailprince

I have 2hourhuman for Tobias and I'm super rusty but always down for PSLs and GPSLs!

I've started collecting the series on audible but it is slow going as they don't even have all of it yet

errorchord: I've never read this, going to add it to my list!

I don't have an Animorphs but stalking this plurk bc I play from Venom in and an Animorphs cast is like. My dream cross-canon CR.

symbiotes are the opposite of yeerks you see, in this essay i will

I've always wanted to play Marco but... 😭 I could never do him justice.

Tobias was always my fave too

oh man this reminds me that i need to set up a marco acct...i have apeshift but i've never played him

...that name is incredible holy hell

TY LMAO it took me so long to come up with it that i'm like i gotta use it at some point

I'm terrible at usernames like that. I usually default to a quote that was used either by the character or about the character. (Xenamorph is actually an exception, that was just some serendipitous wordplay)

(And thank god the series wasn't written three years later, or it would have been Buffy instead of Xena she was textually compared to and I have NO GOOD GAGS for that)

a friend of mine played tobias some years ago and got thermals like a champ

So that was them

but yeah apeshift is incredible

Thermals was one of the ones I checked out in vain hope and was like "Oh, taken by a Tobias, that tracks"

hahaha

i'm honestly shocked it wasn't taken sooner, she didn't get into it until like 2014

I have Elfangor and Toby

I remember Elfangor's username is Al_fangor, don't recall Toby's. Didn't play her much though, just one TDM.

Look. As soon as I get my ish together and do a re-read, I'll put my Rachel journal to good use...
