A mini Outlaws & Obelisks One-Shot (with Andrew from Newsbeat)

Jasper returns as Tovo as we delve into the world of Utaram and Outlaws and Obelisks to teach our new pal Andrew about playing D&D. 

Liv joins as Makena Cole, a Firbolg Cleric (or, as she's a giraffe, a 'Girbolg'). 

She would like to assure you that upon the return of Outlaws and Obelisks, this will not be her character for the full series. 

She really needs you to know that.

We recorded this in our AirBNB in Manchester with a Snowball mic so forgive...

Jeremy Patreon Pontification: Animorphs Pt. 2

I keep reminiscing about Animorphs! This time I finish summarizing the events of the first book, describe the morphing process in more detail, and talk in-depth about the characters Cassie, Jake, and Tobias!

There's also a bit of a bonus discussion towards the end of the series' trans themes and how they pertain to Tobias.

CW: body horror, brief mention of suicide

Here's a link to the article I read from that talks about the trans themes in Animorphs: 2024-01-27 14:00:08 +0000 UTC View Post
