I finally deigned to draw Nya with her other design.
Some days I think about Aaron minyard and about the fact that the aftg fandom gives him so much shit about going back on his deal with Andrew, or being a drug addict in the past and making that his only personality trait in fanfics, or going on and on about the fact that he doesn’t understand Andrew and maybe he doesn’t but
aaron understands Andrew when Andrew gets that flash of panic in his eye followed by a not quite there look before it goes his face goes blank because Aaron definitely has at least a little bit of ptsd bc who and I kidding the kid was beat, brainwashed/groomed his whole life, and had his mom get him addicted to drugs so he definitely has some ptsd like even as he’s older seeing a little blond kid all bruised up after the little dude fell out of a tree at the hospital to check out his broken arm definitely triggers him because all he can see is himself or Andrew all alone in the kids hazel eyes
but what really gets him is closing the bathroom door to the Colombia house (i can’t remember if it’s tilda’s house or the Colombia house they detox him in) and he always has to have it propped open to were he can tell he’s able to get out or he has to have something between the door and the frame to keep it from closing all the way if someone tries to slam it, him and Andrew are exact opposites when it comes to this
I know the bathroom door thing will bother him from personal experience because I had to sit outside my best friends room when she closes it to change or whatever because she was locked in her room once while going through withdrawals from Xanax cut with fentanyl and she can’t have her door closed or if it is closed you have to promise to let her out/promise you won’t lock it which takes me to my next point aaron makes Andrew sit outside the bathroom door when he needs it closed because in his words ‘you fucked this up for me so you have to deal with it’ and Andrew is just like ‘Yes I will keep my brother safe even if it’s from his head’ bc even tho Andrew is a little fucking shit he’s still a good brother and I live by that
but also the monsters are basically all teen boys so they aren’t going to be painting bathroom doors just bc of some scratches on it so aaron has to look at where he scratched off the paint of the door trying to get out of the bathroom while he was going through his withdrawals and it makes him like physically ill to look at the door and it’s never repainted until Neil is like ‘yo aaron hates the bathroom door. Why?’ And one day Aaron catches Andrew with a quart of paint spot covering the door in the twins 2nd year one night they’re at the Colombia house
This is like all over the place but yea the cold turkey detox thing sucks, ik from personal experience and that was just from nicotine and prescriptions I didn’t have a weening plan for, Aaron was on opioids/whatever his mom had around the house which means whatever he was on was definitely cut with other drugs like fentanyl or meth or whatever the dealer could mix with the pills and repress them to maximize profit and since aaron/his mom were buying off the streets poor dude was definitely coming off of multiple drugs at once and his body must have been fighting so hard
And like I wasn’t even locked up imagine being locked in a cold ass bathroom while you’re having the worst however many days it takes to flush the drugs out of it system through just throwing up and sweating it out yk
So I think Aaron has rights to be resentful towards Andrew for his rehab methods :/ bc it would leave a damaging physiological impact on anyone but esp a previously abused druggie teen.
I have lots of opinions on Aaron and I hate how he gets 0 redemption ark at all. Neil ‘hates’ him which is why we don’t see the good side of him but like we know neils a unreliable narrator like jeez I’m so tired of Aaron just being the butt of the joke in every situation just because the unreliable narrator with an attitude problem told y’all that Aaron sucks ://
The amount of content the jatp cast is posting is v exciting! Im curious what exactly they’re building up to
Animorphs really has a way to turn every scifi trope on its head. "Why do alien invasions always start in America?" Actually the body snatchers first landed in a Middle Eastern farming community where they kidnapped the first guy they saw, read his mind, and concluded that, since he was terrified of the US soldiers who had brutally destroyed everything he knew and loved, the US would be the ideal place to center their invasion. This is revealed in the spin-off "Visser" which is an excellent stand-alone book that can be read without any prior knowledge of Animorphs. And you can read it for free and with the author's blessing right here:

I got two new monster high dolls in today and I’m obsessed with them! One is a 28 inch tall monster high doll whose eyes change color when you press the button on the back of her neck and the other is a two headed mermaid!!
the fact that tim, bart & kon literally annoyed red tornado out of hibernation is still the funniest shit to me and i think about it daily
I think the world needs more positivity, so what are your funniest comic moments?
you have no idea what you have let upon the world, I have way too many comic panels saved,, brace yourself
don't think about Alador not knowing where any of his kids are
don't think about Edric and Emira gripping onto each other as their world falls apart around them with no idea where the rest of their family is, if they're even safe
don't think about the fact they might not even be together
don't think about Darius feeling the pain of the draining spell but all he can think about is the sixteen-year-old kid he cares about despite himself feeling the same pain
don't think about all the other children with coven sigils, in so so much pain as the man everyone trusts betrays them
don't think of Gus' dad learning no one knows where his twelve-year-old son is
don't think of people running for cover as their world falls apart and rebuilds around them
don't think about the ones who couldn't get away in time
don't think of King, so young and so scared, alone with the collector
don't think about Willow's dads patiently waiting for their daughter to come home and their bone-deep grief when she doesn't
don't think about the twins screaming and wailing when Alador tells them he doesn't know where Amity is and the last time he saw her, she was going to fight Belos, the most dangerous man on the Isle
don't think about Eda realizing that despite her best efforts in the end she couldn't protect either of her kids
don't think about Eda reuniting with Lilith and both of their faces falling realizing the other doesn't have the kids
don't think about Camila opening the doors and being so relieved to see her daughter but so worried when she sees how tired and sad all the kids huddled together at her front door are
don't think about the kids quietly but surely patching each other up, older and much more exhausted than they should be
don't think about the fact none of them are going to be to get a good night's sleep for a while
don't think about the kids huddled together mourning people that may be alive because they just don't know
“save young justice!” “bring young justice back for season 5!” NO. give me a comic accurate young justice show. i want punk conner kent. i want robin breaking into government facilities and coming up with ridiculous aliases. i want bart to adopt the super cycle and annoy red tornado into reactivating. where is the tiny clone of lobo or team leader wonder girl. let me see them play baseball for the fate of the planet and illegally invade a country full of supervillains and also kill santa.
