it’s everyone’s favorite tragic deer-centaur alien teen, Ax!

I somehow missed out on this series when I was a kid, but now, thanks to the Morph Club podcast by @careydraws and @megthebrennan, I have a new beloved alien son, and if anyone in this story touches one hair on his precious head I will dive into the book and destroy them.

If you can’t tell already, I love the Animorphs series. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have repetitive tropes that make for a convenient bingo game.

Wanted to give them a side-by-side post. I LOVE the composition of Tobias’ cover. Also you can now see that Jake and Rachel do share a translator while Tobias gets one of his own.

Next to the surveillance room was another door. Ax moved quickly toward it. He pushed on it, just as I noticed the arrow taped to the wall above. “Break room,” the arrow read.
The door opened. And there, directly in front of us, were four Hork-Bajir. Seated around a card table. Elbow blades hanging casually off the chairs. Tails slung back across the floor. Each held a hand of cards tightly in his claws. A single, unshaded light bulb dangled from the ceiling.
‹Let’s try a different door.›

Quick sketches of Lucretia from The Adventure Zone! She is my favorite character from the podcast (probably one of my most favorite fictional characters in general), so I really wanted to draw her for a long time now. <3

haha plants that can't be easily assigned in a human made binary system - nonbinary plants

dude as a botanist every time i learn more about plant sex i become more exasperated about the human gender and sexual binary system. only about 6% of the entire plant kingdom has individuals that are either entirely male or entirely female (called being diecious). sometimes individuals in these populations will switch their sexes between flowering just because, and we dont know why (prime example: nepenthes are diecious, and will sometimes switch their sex in captivity after blooming as one sex for years, leaving breeders flabbergasted, some having been counting on breeding them with the opposite sexed plant once they bloomed years in advance). an amazing amount of other populations have this kind of thing partitioned out among the population in the region, so individuals can be male, female, both, or neither (see: some strawberry populations). some have evolved separate sex organs (see: corn, zea maize, which has it’s male flowers in tassels on the top and its female ovaries on an organ down below. we call those individual ovaries ‘kernels’ and the fertilization tubes ‘those weird stringy things u gotta pull off when eating corn on the cob’ and that fucks me up every day of my life). the list goes on and on. that being said, im pretty sure the concept of ‘gender’ is exclusive to at most the primate clade and doesn’t include plants, but you feel it. 

in biology in general, the more you learn about sex the more you realize that we’re the weird ones.

“You’re telling me the Most Secret Place On Earth, the fabled Zone Ninety-one, the Holy Grail of conspiracy nuts, is hiding the secret of an Andalite toilet?”

- Marco, Book #14: The Unknown, pg. 128 (by K.A. Applegate)

It’s been something of a staple of modern Doctor Who, but there’ll be absolutely no romantic frisson aboard the TARDIS in the next series.

Jodie Whittaker has insisted that we’ll see nothing more than friendship between the Doctor and her trio of companions.

“We are a friendship group in this season,” she told The Times.

Quizzed about a possible love connection between the Doctor and one of her new friends – a la the Doctor and Rose (Billie Piper) – Whittaker responded: “No. But we all love each other.”

Whittaker’s Time Lord will be joined by Graham (Bradley Walsh), Yaz (Mandip Gill) and Ryan (Tosin Cole) in her travels through time and space.

“It feels like a family by the end of it,” Gill previously told Digital Spy of the team’s dynamic. “For my character, there’s times where she wants to go home and make sure everything’s okay. But I feel like by the end of it, while she knows it’s always an option to go home, this is kind of her new family.”

“It starts off as a bit of chaos,” added Cole. “It’s all over the place… and then we just kind of gel. There’s more of an understanding of each other and [a sense of] knowing each other’s strengths and weaknesses.”

Doctor Who will return to BBC One on Sunday, October 7, giving up its traditional Saturday night slot for the first time since the show returned in 2005.

The new series is envisioned as a fresh start for the veteran BBC sci-fi series, with new series boss Chris Chibnall ruling out appearances from old characters and monsters – including River Song (Alex Kingston), the Daleks, the Cybermen and the Weeping Angels.
