For those of you not in the know (which is apparently many of you, since the only people in my immediate sphere of existence who have gone with me on this fantastic voyage are Isaac and Simon) Animorphs is/was pretty much the best Young Adult sci-fi book series EVER WRITTEN. Even after the TV show sucked, the books lived on as excellent reading for the pre-teen/young-teen sci-fi fan. Not only did the series have a solid plot (alien invasion by stealth instead of open warfare, with five (later six) kids being the last line of resistance) it also had a pretty extensive list of alien races, all of which were given decent air-time and solid history. Not to mention the whole 'kids at war' aspect that gave it a solid foundation in morals and stuff.

Plus: Kids turning into animals to fight brain stealing aliens! IT DOES NOT GET MUCH BETTER.

One of the races in said series was the Andalites, the consummate 'good guys' of the galaxy. While somewhat arrogant and more than a bit 'holier than thou' at times, the Andalites as a race are in a constant war to contain the Yeerk menace, not out of any duty other than a race-wide shame, as the Yeerks wouldn't have faster-than-light travel capabilities if it weren't for an Andalite. Follow?

Anyway. The point of this entire ramble to preface this pic spam, which I like to call "Evidence that Adam Lazzara from Taking Back Sunday is actually an Andalite in Human Morph"

Warning: There's quite a few pictures in this spam, and some of them are bound to be large. So it might not be dial-up friendly. But you can ignore all my tin-hatted alien-talk and just enjoy an Adam Lazzara pic spam, if Animorphs is not up your alley. So, everyone wins!

( Shall we begin? )

So there you have it. Adam Lazzara is an Andalite in morph. Now, I don't know if he's a nothlit (stuck in his human morph and unable to morph back, or at all) or if he sneaks off every two hours to de-morph, and I also don't know if he's actively fighting a Yeerk invasion or if he just got lost here... But I do know, in my heart, that he is an Andalite.
