Animorphs is the book series that taught me what war crimes and PTSD were without using either of those phrases specifically. It's crazy that I read it as a child, but it honestly helped me understand my dad a bit better.

Can we just forget hp and just let it die already

[-] Tiresia@slrpnk.net 30 points 1 day ago

We literally can't. Even if we decide to ignore Rowling, millions of people will continue giving her hundreds of millions of pounds per year which she uses to support fascism. So we are unable to let it die, and it would be foolish to forget.

But people will die if they have no HP

[-] Soulg@ani.social 6 points 1 day ago

A cultural phenomenon of that magnitude will never die lol

[-] TotallynotJessica 6 points 22 hours ago

It definitely can. Time kills all eventually

Did anyone else read Everworld? I feel like I'm the only one that ever read that series.

[-] adhocfungus@midwest.social 2 points 22 hours ago

Crazy to see another Everworld fan. I loved that series, but never got the last book. I should see if I can find it.

I've been searching at local used bookstores and haven't had any luck. I remember picking it up because my family was going on a trip somewhere and had my Game Boy taken away for it. I devoured the first 3 books instead of doing any trip stuff. I vaguely remember the story but somehow really remember the ending.

Harry Potter sucks shit, read Witch Hat

[-] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

If you want your fill of British Wizards, read Rivers of London.

The audio books are fantastic as well and my preferred way to consume the series. Currently on my 5th listening of them.

I've only read the first in the series so far, but Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson is another good alternative if you're looking for LGBT-friendly British urban fantasy. Content Warning for anyone currently going through a difficult coming-out process though as it does contain that as one of the plotlines and has some bigoted characters as a result.

[-] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Excellent, another series to add to my read/listen list, thank you for the recommendation.

Why is the title Animorphs? Applegate and Grant are very inclusive and politically progressive in their works and interviews.

[-] Quokka@quokk.au 16 points 1 day ago

That’s why! Animorphs is the better choice.

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Ohh cool. Maybe "Read Animorphs instead"? The title now reads like the Animorphs authors are being lumped together with Rowling.
