Andalite - Blog Posts

I just got into animorphs and I am OBSESSED with this silly guy

What do you think of paragliding?

Korr: From what little I know about it, seems like it would be fun. Easier to just morph a flying thing, though.

Do Andalites have any kind of pets on their home world like humans do with their domesticated species?

Korr: Andalites never really domesticated any species. No need. Anyway, not much can keep up with us.

Have you ever talked to a tree? (There are semi-sentient trees on your homeworld, right?)

Korr: Yes, but it’s… been a while.

Korr: The trees here are… really nothing like home.

Korr: I do have a Garibah, a Guide Tree, back home. An old therant tree named Kama Sehr. I miss resting under its branches, listening to it sing in the wind, reading its vines and bark. Kama Sehr always was a good listener.

Korr: I left Kama Sehr - and most of the rest of my family - behind on the Andalite homeworld.

Are Andalites okay with same gender relationships?

Korr: Oh, yes. Andalite society usually has no issue with it. In fact, it’s considered normal for adults to have partners of both binary genders at some point.

Korr: Of course, you’ve always got stiff-tailed puritans, but those crop up in every society.

Korr: Certainly nothing like the obsession some humans have over it. Goodness.

I mean, Humans didn't start right of doing those things Korr. Someone had to invent those ideas. by the way, the 'knifeshoes' are called ice skates. I wouldn't recommend trying it, mainly because it requires a skilled balance I'm sure someone only morphed human wouldn't achieve. Heck, I'm a real human and I enjoy slipping on the ice more than skating on it. By the way, have you tasted human food yet?

Korr: I suppose that makes sense. I have enough trouble tailless and with two hooves - feet - even on solid ground.

Korr: And oh, yes! Human taste buds are really quite marvelous.

In your opinion, what would be the worst morph to be trapped in?

Korr: Well, being a nothlit in any form but my own would be truly awful. Why would I ever want to live as anything but an Andalite? But out of my current morphs…

Korr: Probably one of the bugs. (A hiveminder would be worse, but I don’t have any of those acquired.)

Some humans walk over hot coals barefoot

Korr: *inhale*

Korr: I don’t know how you humans have survived for so long, but something in me admires your sheer tenacity.

((A/N: Apologies for the quality drop; photos turned blurry for some reason.))

<How has your species stayed alive so long????>

Can you walk on ice?

It’s hard enough with four legs, never mind only two.

[Korr: Walk on… ice? Is that at hing humans do?

Korr: …Why?]

Have you ever been on a trampoline?

[Korr: Well, not in my natural form. (Hooves are horribly unsuited for bouncing.) But in my human morph, once.]

Have you ever eaten an icicle?

[Korr: Can’t say I have. Andalite anatomy isn’t really suited to crunchy food. I’d try the human mouth, but nothing’s frozen here yet. Do they taste good?]

What if you ended up losing a leg? Can you get a prosthetic one? Would that affect how much time you spend eating due to the loss of a hoof?

[Korr: Sort of? (Gods forbid.) Prosthetics definitely exist, but…Korr: …they’re probably not as advanced as they could be. And yeah, food would be a little annoying.

Korr: It doesn’t really matter what’s available back home, though. I don’t know where I would get something like that here.]

What if you turned rainbow colored?

[Korr: Without morphing? I should be very disturbed.Eliza, in the distance: Gay!Korr: I thought you were leaving.]

[A/N: oh look, colors]

Hey, what's an andalite?

[Korr: How did you find this blog, if you don’t… Hm, maybe my security’s not as good as I thought. (No, that’s absurd.)

Korr: Put simply, I am an andalite. We’re a species from far away, far technologically superior to you humans. We’re currently at war with the Yeerks, a species of parasites trying to infest Earth. There are a couple of small groups here combating them. You know, standard stuff.]

are there any human customs you find odd or unnecessary?

[Korr: Handshakes always seemed weirdly uncomfortable and unnecessary to me? Touching hands with a stranger is… weird. Then again, humans seem to be a lot more touchy than Andalites in general.]

((Mun: So sorry for how long this took! College has started up again.))

If you could morph anything you want , right here, right now, what would you morph?

(sorry this one took me a while to get to; I had graduation get in the way. Also, I hate how much shorter humans are than andalites, because it constantly puts Eliza almost out of frame by accident.)

(Text:

Korr: Maybe it’s a little childish of me, but - I’d like to morph a kafit bird again. It’s been a long time.

Korr: How about you, Eliza?Eliza: I dunno. Something deep ocean maybe - a whale or a shark or something.)

some sketches of a very young Ax! He’s excited for his tail blade to grow in.

(the white spots on his back are baby camouflage– they’ll fade as he grows up.)

Hello Eliza! Look we are over here! Can you here/see us!? *waves wildly at both of you*

Eliza is tired

EDIT: Frick I did Korr’s speech bubbles wrong I’m not fixing it though

(Text:

Eliza: Um - in a… manner of speaking. Korr, how did you get that phone to do the thought-speech thing?

Korr: …You mean not all human phones do that?Eliza: No.Korr: I thought it was just broken.Eliza: Christ.)

Hi! So I just started following you because I just found out about you and OMG you are adorable. Anyway, sooo as a Yeerk Peace Movement member, I’m curious about your stance on the YPM. (Also a note. I found a way to snap a picture on my phone and share it to my computer through the cloud? I’m sorry but I don’t remember how I did it. XD; I just know it’s automatic. But I saw you were struggling with having no scanner/tablet and thought you might be able to look into that?)

First appearance of Eliza after a) her redesign and b) my art style improving wildly after my massive hiatus!

(Text:

Korr: Goodness - thank you! The words “Yeerk” and “peace” are… a bit incongruous in my mind, to be honest. It seems like a dream, too good to be true. (Not that I want to offend.)

Eliza: Korr, for real, who are you talking to?

Korr: I have begun a blog!Eliza: A blog… where.Korr: On the tumblers!Eliza: Oh, dear Lord.)

So what's your favorite color? Do you have a favorite food? Favorite activity to do?

(Text:

Korr: I don’t know about favorite, but I’ve always liked the color red. The sky is nice. Still sometimes a bit weird that Earth’s sky is blue.

Korr: And FOOD! Where do I even start??

Korr: Ice cream. It’s so good, but if you eat it too fast, it hurts your head?? And soda? Carbonation? Who would have thought of  that? And oh my stars, raspberries - I can’t choose!

Korr: And activities, ah! –Let me show you.

Korr: En guarde! (Did I say that right?)Eliza: Korr? What’s going on?

Korr: Oh! Eliza! I was just going to show the askers some tail-fighting.Eliza: The who?)

Mun: I probably won’t answer most asks with this many panels… took me way too long. But it was fun to draw andalites again!

(Text:

Korr: Hey, guys.. Long time no see!

Korr: Sorry about that, by the way. Inbox has been quiet. Mun: And mun’s been pretty busy!

Korr: But hey, we should be good to go again! Mun: Also, my tablet isn’t working right now, so... we’re working on that.)

So I’ve decided to take another shot at this - send in some asks! Responses might be kinda slow right now because I have to draw them on paper and email myself pictures, since neither my tablet nor my scanner are working at the moment.

blast those ‘ceps, guys –Visser One

(click 2 view) people seemed to enjoy my Visser One so here’s more of her i really love making jokes about serious villains  

<This reblog, that is.>

Reblog if you would date an Andalite. I am not an Andalite I am just asking for a friend. I have a mouth.

Who is Eliza? How well do you get along with her?

Captions under the cut.

<…was often her only defense against her personal problems.><…it was often a good way to hide the pain.>

“He knew a little of human custom... combining human dances with a body so different from that of a human was a challenge, but it was worth it. It made for... quite a courtship.”

oh my gods that’s the fluffiest Andalite I’ve ever seen

sorry that was my first thought

hork-bajir chronicles are my fav and aldrea-iskillion-falan is good

The idea of Andalites using tail signals to communicate over long stretches of open ground occurred to me and was too fun not to draw. The top of the tail got cut off by the scanner, though... I was too lazy to try and rescan it honestly XD There may be more of this coming in the future. (In case anyone’s wondering why I seem to be totally inactive for a while and then post a ton at once, it’s because I tend to draw a lot of things during the week while I’m at school and then scan them all in at once on the weekend.)

Korr, like most Andalites, doesn’t think much of human technology. (She likes games like Tetris for some reason, and seems to be able to play those for hours if she gets the time, but gets really bored with anything else.)

guys guys I finally did it I finally figured out an Andalite-to-human morph sequence that WORKS

Though it got cut off a little at the edges... stupid scanner isn’t quite big enough for my notebook *kicks (gently)*

In all seriousness you guys have no idea how long I’ve been trying to do this; I can draw human morph sequences with very few problems, but Andalites just cause so many problems when I’m drawing morph sequences! I must have attempted this at least twenty times before I finally nailed it down yesterday. I left the skeletons underneath intact, since a) I usually ONLY draw the skeletons but I got uber-excited over this so I actually finished it more or less, and b) I’d like to be able to do it again maybe at some point in the future, and leaving the skeletons intact seems like the best way to do that.
