Semi-seasonal speculation of sorts...

I've just been out shoveling another 14in of snow for the last few hours (can't even tell now because it's still snowing ergo the universe HATES me), and since the weather was too bad to safely have music playing I had *lots* of time to let my mind wander while my back and arm started cramping.

The Animorphs lived (and the Yeerk invasion is set) somewhere in California- something about Hollywood/celebrities being on the news so much the Yeerka figured they were the most important people in the country, yes? However, once they had made multiple intellegent people controllers, why didn't the Yeerks focus on, say, New York City or Washington DC? Their both much more populated, financial and political powerhouses, etc.

Soooo anyone see the series playing completely differently if our human heroes had lived on the east coast? Aside from the fact the wouldn't have lived in near perpetual warm weather an KAA would have had to work seasons into the series *somewhere*. And it would have taken LOTS more misdirection to get Cassie over the outback ;).

Aftran/Cassie icons!

So um. Possibly some of you may remember my illustrated examination of the plot hole in #44 and it's follow up...aaaaaaaaaand somehow in the process of drawing all of that Whales!Aftran/Cassie became my One True Crack Pairing. And in honour of that, I have finally...made icons.





...and yes, I know. I must be completely insane /sob
