*brings a giant cake shaped like a panda*

Data on tennis optional.

I give you a Bag and a 'Shut Your Console Up For Two Weeks' voucher, also known as a big Hammer. :D

Agent Sedri now dashes off to join the party starting in Cassie's thread. *dash*

And much rejoicing was had by all, especially those who love free cake.

And my Agents are coming to the party. Krisprolls has brought some surprises. Don't ask what they are, you might get some...

I meant there's no Dark Side of the Morph (a la star wars).

I didn't say "evil"; Having your mind taken over by the instinct to eat anything and everything, including your friends, is pretty dang dark, and for a human with a natural cannibalism taboo, it's downright traumatizing. It's no wonder the Taxxons were desperate enough to try that kind of alliance.

...someone really good at morphing might be able to mix the DNA of various animals to get a supercreature. But really, there's no combination of earth creatures that will match up to some of the things Visser 3 has transformed into.

There's an andalite that perma-morphs into a taxxon and he winds up joining the Taxxon resistance.

They're hungry, and they will cannabalize, but they aren't evil.

Ancient even. Like one and a half years older than me.

Congratulations :P

Well, I suppose the whole mind-controlling parasite trope isn't anything new, but the basic premise of the book -said parasite doesn't wanna be evil anymore/ relates with its host- totally rips off both fandoms...

I hereby gift you with a sack of pebbles, your own customised sling to throw them with, and a basket of Bleeprin-berries from my Bleeprin-berry bush. Tied to the handle of the basket is a biiig balloon reading "Happy 25th Birthday!"

Down in the Archives...

A rather large number of people arrived, bearing gifts ranging from chocolate to high-grade explosives and many other useful and amusing items. Neshomeh found herself hugged, glomped and generally congratulated before the group dispersed to give her some breathing room.

And a Cake made up of Memes.

It's a haro from Gundam 00, they make great robotic pets. They are like Gundam's answer to R2-D2 minus the repairing stuff.

Does morphing even have degrees of power? How can one morpher be more "powerful" than another? There are degrees of skill, certainly, but that's just how quickly and easily you can morph. And being able to hold half-morphs for a few seconds, etc. Would someone please explain how morphers can be "powerful"? I really don't want to read that bad excuse for a fic to find out...

Your Mileage May Vary. Also, the plot elements ripped off were Older than Stargate and Animorphs. That said, I'm not buying that book.

As for Twilight, I read the first few chapters. I found Bella to be a whiny, ungreatful bitch, but all in all, it wasn't that bad (except for Edward).

Congratulations! :D Have a llama. It spits. Fire. At Sues.

Admittedly, I didn't finish the series, but what the crap is an Andilight? -has a mental image of a centaur-thing with a giant lightbulb for a head-

You have a point. My definition of trolls appears to be a bit off; I think of trolls as not particularly malicious, more practical-jokers. Extremely irritating practical jokers. The kind of practical jokers who throw your shoes over telephone wires...

Anyway, I don't see trolls are particularly evil, though they're certainly annoying--more of "Hey, will this actually get /published/? Holy crap, it did! And people /like/ it!"

Yup. At around 9:00 tonight, I will officially be a quarter of a century old. How about that?

Agent!Neshomeh is hosting a party down in the Archives. Everyone is welcome, but no fire allowed. No, not even for Flaming Denethors. Otherwise, BYOB. Cake, ice cream, and cookies of the Convenient variety will be provided.

... Woo!

But yeah. If you want "dark" anything, then there's enough about Animorphs that's already "dark". You don't have to go and turn morphing into something it wasn't meant to be. Morphing was always the *best* part of it for all of them.

You have a point about the romance being obvious, but it was also quite cute, and for heaven's sake Katsa's a child soldier. She gets a little angst. I appreciated the idea of the "Graces" varying so much in importance (and what about the weather-discerning Grace from that captain, or the mind-reading young girl who had a cameo near the beginning? Or all the people mentioned in assorted armies who had various warlike Graces? They were pretty well distributed). I also thought the "survival" thing was decently set up, if not perfectly, and as for your "no-wait-he-was-really-a-pedophile" thing, that's a misreading of it. The impression I got was "no-wait-he-was-a-jerk-and-Katsa-was-a-panicking-kid-who-wasn't-thinking." He wasn't really a threat to her, but she was too young to have that kind of perspective.

Anyway, that's my two cents.

Admittedly, the author seemed unsure how to categorize it, but they do mention it as a parody in the author notes.

There was never a 'dark side' aspect of morphing dammit. The downside was that you just might get stuck as an animal!
