Title: Things you can't see/hear/etc. without thinking of Animorphs
Post by: Stephquiem on November 11, 2009, 11:36:53 AM
I was in the car this morning, and "Ironic" came on the radio. The only reason that song's worth listening to, for me, is because it reminds me of Marco. XD

But yeah. What else makes you think of Animorphs?

Um, pretty much everything falls in this category for me.

Any animal, for one thing.  I'm constantly speculating 'what if an Animorph morphed one of my cats?'  And of course, any hawk I see immediately makes me think of Tobias.

Let's see, what else . . .

Mm-bop, Stuckey's, oatmeal, Area 51, UFOs, California, The Gap, Trafalgar, Star Trek, McDonalds, Goodwill, zoos, Red Baron, and, of course, anybody named Jake, Rachel, Tobias, Cassie, Marco, David, or Philip.

Red Baron - Jake calls Tobias that in #33. Mm-bop... I can't remember. XD

Although Red Baron always makes me feel conflicted. On the one hand, I always think of Snoopy's "Curse you Red Baron!" and then I think of Tobias... Conflicting fandom loyalties.  :'(

Cassie suggests that they sing Mm-bop when they're inducting David into the Animorphs because she can't remember the words to the national anthem.  ::)

For some strange reason I'll explain how things work, like I'm explaining it to a mystified Ax or something. But yeah, the names, their battle morphs, red-tailed hawks.....that other book where slug-like creatures take over our brains, written by a Mrs. Meyer.  >:(

Whenever I see that tv series Ax-men listed on the TV Guide Channel, I always think of Ax.  Also a few weeks ago my professor brought his golden retriever to class, and the dog's name is Jake.

Most definitely a hawk, or any bird of prey that reminds me of a hawk, and anyone with the names of the main characters. Also, groups of flies or ****roaches remind me of Animorphs.

Cheese, the word vice, the surname chapmen,the name erek, space, aleins, the word jerk, the names Tobais, Jake, Marco, and Cassie, the word morph, and the words "and a light".

the word 'chi' (sounding like chee).
cinnamon buns. instant maple and ginger oatmeal.
thermal. morph. centaur. salad shooter. slug.

also, most of the animals that they morphed (like red tailed hawk, siberian tiger etc.) fit into this well.

YES!!! For a month I laughed about that! Yanked FTW!!!

Also, yeah, it might be really weird, but the song Wannabe by the Spice Girls never fails to remind me of Animorphs...

My sister had this keyboard thing that had that song... like a dorky, cheesier version of it... And I thought it was cool... (had never even heard of the SG, and it did sound cool...)

The name Toby, I hear that more often than Tobias. The other respective names.

Centaurs, Cinnabon, hawks, any kind of slug, Planet Hollywood, white lab/snake-food mice, when explaining thermals to people (a surprising number of people have no idea what they are).

Many animals, zoos particularly, slugs... many other things... My friends think I'm insane and have no life outside Animorphs ^^'

And something else:
Worms, particularly when worms are in fruits or people, removed from something... It always makes me remember Remnants. Very strongly. I see Violet with the worm in her hand...

Hm... Any discussion on courage. I was talking about one of the characters for my NaNo today, and someone said something like "Man, she's really fearless, isn't she?", and then I totally quoted Rachel's "Being brave isn't about not being afraid. It's about being scared to death, and still not giving in."

Which then made me realize that the protagonist of my NaNo is really a lot like Rachel.

Post by: Terenia on November 27, 2009, 06:34:33 PM
Any open field/construction site/abandoned area. I always think that it would be a great place for a Bug Fighter or Andalite Fighter to crash land, or a great feeding place for Ax/Visser Three. Then I have to resist the urge to stake it out until one of the aforementioned events happens.  :-\ I think I'd be there awhile.

Cinnabon since I can't pass one without thinking of Ax staring at the place drooling. Hawks of any kind, Arcades, The Skylight dome at the mall in the town i live in. Chapman University XD and of course anyone with an Animorphs related name.

Almost everything on Earth reminds me of Animorphs. Sometimes I call my cat Minx a yeerk and i dont even know why! Yesterday during a parade i looked a a certain star and said "Merry Christmas Ax" now that i think of it, it kinda sounds stupid, yet i cant help myself. I speak animorph tounge so much, its hard for ANYONE to really understand me.
Title: Re: Things you can't see/hear/etc. without thinking of Animorphs
Post by: ThinkAgain on November 30, 2009, 12:04:08 AM
A lot of things. It's almost sad.

Any bird of prey, especially that hawk sound. Basically any animal they morphed, McDonald's, people with the respective names, groups of 5-6 animals together, the topic of aliens, the topics of slavery/morality under pressure/etc... The list goes on.

Also, when I look at the sky and wish I could fly, usually I'll also think, "Damn. If only I could morph."

Thinking about Animorphs is a lot like the game for me. It's that annoyingly ingrained into my thoughts, but I guess that's because it helped me a lot when I was younger.

By the way, when you read the above statement, you lost the game too.

But I agree. Animorphs is EXACTLY like that for me. I can't not think about them constantly. Everything I do and see somehow ends up relating back to the series in some way.

See mouse nest while going through firewood in woodshed > mice > hawks > Tobias > Animorphs

See roadkill > carrion > Tobias being forced to eat it > Animorphs

"Hi how are you? What's you're name?" > "Good thanks, and I'm Jake" > Animorphs

See Geese > WHY NO LONG DISTANCE FLYERS UNTIL THE END? > Animorphs

See basically any exotic animal > Things they morphed > Animophs

Feeling sad/depressed > Want to fly away > Become a bird > Animorphs

Really strong environmentalists/moralists > Cassie > Animorphs

See a barn > The barn > Animorphs

See wasps' nests > get bug spray > remember ****roaches > Animorphs

The list goes on and on. It's almost maddening.

Fairly certain it wasn't Hanson. I think you're thinking of Book #12 The Reaction when The Sharing infests the Animorph version of Jonathan Taylor Thomas. I can't remember the guy's name, but it wasn't Hanson.

It's the book where Rachel gets the allergic reaction to the 'gator DNA.

More than that, actually.  Arnold Schwarzenneger (probably spelled that wrong) was in #17, and Joe Bob Fenestre (who I think is probably supposed to represent Bill Gates) is in #16.  I'm fairly sure there's more, but that's all that comes to mind at the moment.

Yeah, but Arnold and Bill weren't used by The Sharing to advertise the organization.

I meant The Sharing tried to use a celebrity for advertisment in more than one book.

Mmm... back when the series was actually coming out, I remember basically living and breathing Animorphs. Every animal, every situation, I was able to link to the series somehow. A few things have stuck with me strongly since then- the bands the Animorphs like (NIN and Offspring especially) have always had that effect on me. Seeing a hawk has never failed to remind me of Tobias. I've never met an Andalite that didn't remind me of Ax. Oddly, one of the strongest reminders of the series, for me, is Mm-bop. I think I was just that impressed that a joke like that would come from Cassie. I know, I'm weird.

Yeah... In fact, it was "Sharing", alone, and as it was in France, understand that as the French word for "Sharing" (In the French version of Animorphs, The Sharing is "Le Partage", this association was "Partage" ;)). This association was made to help children around the World... but when the guy came to me in the street and told me "Partage", I asked him if he was an alien who try to conquer the World... He said "no", but I said that the aliens would say the same ^^' lol

So many things remind me of Animorphs. Hawks definitely, but other weird stuff too.

I killed a spider that was trapped inside a bowl this morning (drowned/suffocated it with various cleaning products) and, being the nerd I am, imagined it morphing to human to escape death.

Couple things:

(1). Most cult organizations. I'm still not entirely convinced my sister doesn't have an alien parasite in her head. >3 If you are reading this Meg, I'm sorry. Just a joke. X3

(2).Anybody named Cassie or Tobias.

3). Maple and ginger oatmeal. I don't know if there actually is an instant kind.

(4). Centaurs. All the time. :3

(5). Any time anyone else in a Roleplay I'm doing has to take over a character usually belonging to somebody else, I call it "Yeerking."

(6). The 90's Johnny Quest theme. This is an inside joke regarding the back cover of the first book that'd take me an hour to explain.

(7). Anything involving slugs or alien parasites. I had to deposit a slug by hand outside from my basement two different times. And both times, I really had to resist the urge to put the slug up against my ear. XDD

(8). Visser Three was admittedly part of the personality prototype for Mar, added with Scar's sexy voice and demeanor from The Lion King and Kuja from FFIX. The Yeerk could be downright frightening when he was written by KA sometimes, even if he was a total nutjob.

(9). Red-tailed hawks almost without fail.

(10). "This is insane," , "Let's do it," "Salad shooters," (though I've never heard the word used in any other place), and many other phrases used by down-on-their-luck rebels. Actually, a couple kids against the world generally remind me of Animorphs.

So basically, a lot of things. It's too much a part of my mind. Considering my age when I read it, aspects of Animorphs formed part of many of my earliest imaginings and thoughts.

Interestingly I can't hear the word "apprentice" now without associating it with sinister intentions. Hence why Donald Trump's show caused me to burst out laughing.

But that really has nothing to do with Animorphs in particular. Associations are weird. ;)

There is a Christmas song that has this sentence in it (not an official translation): "Never in the year is the sharing so strong". And the most disturbing thing is that the entire song is about lonliness.
(More acceptable translation of another sentence) "somewhere in the night, tears turn into ice."

A couple months ago I got a couple Mormon missionaries come by my house. One's last name was -- no lie -- Esplin.

I hid the giggles until they left. Imagine Visser 3 posing as an LDS missionary!  :rofl2:

An assortment of other things that remind me of Animorphs: Mm-bop (hadn't heard of the song til animorphs, lol -- but then, I read them in the early 00's) the words "candlelight" -- I read once a list of things to do to mess with your Animorph-fan friends and one of them was to get all freaked out if you heard them say "candle light", as if they had said "Andalite". For that matter, the phrase "and a light" gets me too.

Cinnabon, the mall, red-tailed hawks, baby skunks (my favorite book ends with [spoiler]Ax telling the Visser the best way to get rid of skunk smell -- since Cassie in skunk morph sprayed him. Repeatedly. From very close range. -- is by bathing in grape juice. And Tobias reported that the Visser "is now a very lovely shade of purple. :rofl2:[/spoiler], people from Canada (Ax: I am from Canada. I am Canadese.) the word "morph" in any sense, the prefix "ani" -- animagus, for instance. totally a rip-off of animorphs, i tell ya! -- The Young and The Restless (Marco: Ax, why aren't you wearing a shirt? Ax: The people on The Young and the Restless do not wear shirts. I am young. And I am often restless.) Nine Inch Nails (I remember the scene where Marco's trying to get Cassie to buy an NIN CD for him or something like that. He'd told his dad that NIN stood for "Nice Is Neat" -- can anyone find the exact reference for me?) I could probably name off dozens more, I seem to be reminded of Animorphs by very odd random things at the most random of moments!

The NIN moment is in a Rachel book: #12, The Reaction.

Quote
"My mom's going to give a little presentation on endangered species," Cassie said as we sauntered along with the rest of our class. "A presentation. To us.... She thinks she has to be entertaining.... It's dangerous when Mom tries to be entertaining. See, she'll think she has to be cool and all. She'll start talking about 'The Fudgies' or 'Snoopy Diggity Dog,' or 'Boys Eleven Men,' or 'Nice is Neat.'"

I laughed out loud, practically spraying Mountain Dew from my nose. "Okay. The Fugees, Snoop Doggy Dogg and Boyz II Men I get. But what's Nice is Neat?"

Cassie looked guilty. "NIN. You know, Nine Inch Nails? I wanted to get the new CD but I was broke, so I told my mom NIN stood for Nice Is Neat."

I grabbed Cassie's arm and turned her around. "No way. You? That sounds like something Marco would have thought up."

Cassie quickly looked down at the ground. Then she started laughing. "Okay, it was Marco's idea. He said, 'What parent can possibly resist a rock group named Nice Is Neat?'"

... And Rachel would have morphed and the scar would have disappear...
Not necessarily... I mean, by all reasonable means within the functioning of the morphing technology as we know it scars should be removed by morphing; yet in #7, The Stranger Cassie points out a scar on her hand. Up to this point in the series that was entirely possible, we knew that morph-bodies were reconstructed from scratch each morph and were healed, but it was still possible that their original bodies were only 'stored away' somehow and not remade/healed because they were never quite specific about injuries to their natural bodies. Then right after this in MM#1 Rachel explicitly says that scratches on her feet were healed from morphing. So you could say that morphing would in general heal scars and the scar Cassie points out was a tiny KASU hidden in a minor reference... then she had to go and throw Sofor with the gigantic scars across his face into our face.

     Walking around with friends at the mall and sitting together in the food court. Something about a bunch of us sitting at the table makes me think of Animorphs--even though my friends don't read the books. Maybe it's the togetherness.

     Taco Bell. In the Arrival, Tobias tells Ax that he's a "Taco Bell man", or something like that. Also, the holidays, cinnamon buns, leather jackets (the Tv series, but still counts) kids with blonde hair, rats and anything shaped like a cube.
