over 25 years of being sick of hearing about harry fucking potter
I will never let the Animorphs vs Harry Potter playground beef die. these are the authors of Animorphs btw. we won. take that, gradeschoolers in 1998
@germ The whole third book where Tobias has to come to terms with being trapped in a hawk's body, afraid to lose himself in the Hawk Brain instincts, is more meaningful to me than ANY of the crap in the fucking wizard books.
@germ Also Tobias in general reads trans as fuck!
@DotMaetrix The series as a whole is just so much more valuable with what it had to say about war and the concept of child soldiers
@DotMaetrix @germ I've known multiple trans men who named themselves after Tobias from Animorphs
@DotMaetrix @germ was asked by another trans person who my favorite animorphs characters were. i said tobias and rachel. they replied “oh, the trans-coded one and the lesbian-coded one, no surprises.”
