AAaaaaaaa thank you dude, this is such a sweet comment. Also I'm like.. trying to write this reply but I keep getting distracted by your icon so thanks also for that.
"I love that no one hand waved away Aftran's canon choice" haaaaa yeah of course, who would do that, I say, shoving all of my AU art in a closet and trying to shut the door. The door won't close, there's too much stuff in there. But if Cassie can fall in love with an alien brain slug, she can love a weird sentient humpback whale, too. Girl Who Loves Her Whale is a very underrated take on this ship.
And omg, hell yea the side-shave trend is going Strong. I'm picturing some fashion-forward/extra-passionate people going full Natalie Dormer in Mockingjay. Honestly, the influence that ex-host culture, alien presence on Earth, and the Animorphs themselves would have on post-war fashion trends could be a fic all on its own. (Marco still has those good real-world-2004 frosted tips, though.)
And aaa thank you for all the other nice stuff that you said in here, about Karen in particular. I tried to write her as someone who's like, recovering from trauma in a realistic way. If I ever visit her again in the future, I'll get to touch on some other things I brainstormed about her life and what she's been up to, but I'm glad that this fic gives a good sense of her even without a lot of backstory.
