Jacob called a sheath a “sword holster” and no one called him out. Zachary behavior.

Truly, what is a sheath if not a sword holster

[@spiderguy44]

I love sword holsters

It makes more sense in the 2011 reboot.

Jacob: "I shouldn't say it looks like a mommy." Karina, five minutes later: "Dommy."

I liked the part where Jacob said "it's morphin' time" and then he morphed all over the place

[@caritahearts2405]

Morb

[@henryknight2107]

fun fact: he did that in order to celebrate the drawfee channel hitting one morphillion subs!

He did morph all over those guys, it’s true.

[@krisksolmikarusol]

Jacob saying "You gotta force Nathan to do a crime" just reminds me of drawing their problematic faves and Nathan was like "I wanna step away from a problematic character as much as possible" which just gives more proof we gotta force (not literally tho) Nathan to give us more traumatic drawings here in Drawfee lol.

[@thebadpoet]

I thought it was so funny that Nathan is such a big fan of JoJo, where every single character is problematic in their own bonkers way…. And he drew Geralt.

[@moviecrush8624]

The stream where he took part in the 'everything is cake' meme is truly his most criminal period. Chicken Nugget Man is iconic

[@BelleFlower15]

11:31 one time I picked up a little Debbie cake at a gas station and this really cute guy walked up to me and said "you can't have that." I've never been so nonplussed in my life. Turns out he was the vendor stocking the shelves and I grabbed an expired one. 😩

[@IsaacMayerCreativeWorks]

21:37 Yes, Julia, there are non-naked mole rats! There are about 20 species of mole rats in the family Bathyergidae, only one of which is naked, and thirty species of mole rats in the family Spalacidae, none of which are naked! Uhhuhhhughhhh!

[@urdri]

Huh. Those guys really shaped the reputation of the whole family I guess. Well, every family has some disappointments

[@skyseer1735]

Now that you've drawn the funny outsides of animorphs books, I would love to see you guys drawing animorphs aliens from physical descriptions! Because the aliens in animorphs are WILD.

[@AbsolXGuardian]

Oh that would be amazing!

[@matthiasoc7141]

Julia's "tongue-tooth woo-ooh" did not go unnoticed. It cracked me up.

[@cryingovermagnetic]

i think julia's "tongue tooth oWooo" at 8:21 was criminally underrated that killed me

[@CorbiniteVids]

the way that no one reacted to it cause it's just normal julia stuff, those kinds of moments just take me out

[@theoproasheck5265]

I just love that for some reason Ron couldn't have a naked mole rat as a pet when the thought experiment only said they had never seen one before

[@wafflefalafel9442]

As an animorph fan who just recently finished all the books, watching these specific episodes is a joy. In animorphs lore you can't morph into something without touching it first so I love that this implies that Bulma had to touch Zim and Eda had to touch Donald Duck

[@LunarEclipsism1]

Gotta acquire those badboys

[@Florceleste28]

And that is how crossovers are born.

[@natassjafry2463]

How do you find the books hold up?

[@NicknotNak]

I know i read those books, or at least the first few, but i feel like that specific series only exists as fragments of a dream. Like i know there were brain worms or something. I remember toby getting stuck as a bird, and all the kids hanging around in an abandoned construction site, but... did anything happen? Like, for all the aliens and brain worms, all i remember is the corner pages flipping for that little animation from human to animal and some vague telepathic stuff going on.

[@wafflefalafel9442]

@@NicknotNak The brain worms--technically slugs, were the yeerks, and they took over the bodies of creatures and stole their free will. Tobias does get stuck as a bird. And the kids do wind up in an abandoned construction site. The kids learn to talk telepathically while in animal morph. All of this happens within the first book lol. And a TON of stuff happens later on. I can't go through everything, obviously, but some major points are (in no paticular order): lots of death and gore, time travel, body dysmorphia, children dealing with depression and PTSD, criticisms of abelism, racism, war, animal abuse, etc. Lots of murder, sometimes torture. 13 year old war criminals. At some point, a character gets split in two. Cinnamon buns :). One character has to try and kill their mother MULTIPLE times. Reminder that these are books given to primary school kids lmao. So yeah, a lot happens within 54+ books, but they're fun and short reads (and the flipbook animations are the best part!!)

[@donovan802]

That Donald and Eda fusion actually gives Magica even more competition.

[@livendus]

Was just about to comment that they remind me of Magica de Spell

[@EclipseDoesArt]

I LITERALLY THOUGHT SHE LOOKED LIKE MAGICA DE SPELL OMG

[@mjamin9124]

YES YOU GUYS SEE IT TOO

[@maybee-not]

I love the running joke that they have no idea what episode they're recording, and strange things just happen to them in the opening of each episode that are COINCIDENTALLY related! Like. It just gets me every time! "Oh it's so weird that you said that because today's episode is--"

[@Keanine]

"Just think, you could have been brave, instead you're a KZbin coward" was my favourite quote from this episode

[@Muted_Marcus]

Julia's drawing kinda looks like Baby Yoda, the most famous detective with a five-o'clock shadow.

[@Kittyrins]

Nathan basically made the Darkwing Duck character Magica De Spell as if she's had a hard few years.

The frightening comparison between Stewie-O and Hisoka made me pause the video to let out a god awful wail and tear up because of the sheer horror of that statement

[@abbyj4108]

6 minutes in and we’ve already reached ‘hats are just sausage casing for the top of your head’ nice to know the particular brand of cursed Drawfee takes are still going strong

[@magpieMOB]

Fun fact; the Howard the Duck live action movie did actually give me trauma! I was at a daycare where the staff seemingly did not care at all, they put that movie on VHS and just left us in a room with it playing. I think I was 4?

[@connorburton1009]

My immediate thought on seeing Karina's characters was "The bow should become the eyes!" and honestly now I really want to see that.

[@mariaah3073]

I love Julia's drawing because it also works as a middle-morph for both movie versions of the Oompa Loompas. It's like someone put the actor from the Tim Burton movie in the 1970s make up and costume.

[@GypsyScot1]

My favorite part about the utterly cursed transformations (duck tongue to Eda-tooth) is that they're actually more accurate to Animorphs lore than a smooth transition would be. Despite the iconic covers, morphing in the books is described as utter body horror.

[@caitlynstarrparrish]

Something the incredibly short lived TV series did not include & I remember being very disappointed abt as a kid.

[@GypsyScot1]

@@caitlynstarrparrish Yeah! Big same. I have a whole essay on how much of a disappointment that show was...

[@AbsolXGuardian]

@@caitlynstarrparrish Including the morphs accurately would be impossible. Not only would you have to osmosis Jones a lot of it, since many of the descriptions focus on what the kids organs and bones are doing, it would be like adapting Warrior Cats in a visual medium. Just because of how things work, it would stop being appropriate for the age group. Heck, reading the books as a teenager, I only skimmed those passages instead of fully imagining it.

The word "dother" (duck/mother) brought back an old memory of watching the Mighty Ducks on VHS, and one of the previews before the movie was a live action film with these human sized evil ducks and I just remember the line "I'm not a duck, I'm a drake"...

[@stephaniebaker1975]

Along the bulma clothing line .. they do have "trunks, briefs, bra" etc in that family. Also thankfully no mention of a certain weird evolution ducks have gone through in the genital area

[@ducksizedhorse6284]

Some animals have an outie. This is normal.

[@cuddlyasacactus709]

And Bulma is actually “Bloomers” in the Japanese way of pronouncing it. So she, too, is undergarments.

[@chromehero]

Drawing morphs between some of y'alls past drawfee drawings would be quite amusing I believe

Drawfee suggestion! dinosaur lies have many possible applications you already did the bone game with them but you've done tons of different scientific name episodes, all dinosaurs are known by the scientific name, also please choose Irritator challengeri as one because it's such a good name also, a challenge in the style of no control, or like the pose challenge, where you make a list of paleontological blunders and give them to each other, like putting claws or horns or spikes literally anywhere else on the body, or getting the neck and tail confused, there's a lot of wild stuff to choose from

[@atypicalcowboy]

finally the kim possible centric episode i have been waiting years for

[@DrgoFx]

17:27 On the subject of why you're named that: My name is Josh and the reasoning is because my mother wanted to give me a J name and every name she suggested my dad would use the middle name to make a joke out of it. Notable entrees were Justin Time or Justin Case, Jason Voorhees and Jack Sonfy. Eventually she said Joshua and my dad was out of jokes apparently.

I would love to see a Less Cursed:tm: version of things like this in a Character Fusion Mash

[@robxholicfoxyfan8552]

The neck down of Doneda the Dowl Lady is actually not that upsetting, it is basically the face area that is truly awful. But I think that is the case for most animorph middle states. Tbh Bulma means bloomers, and her whole family (Dad Briefs, Mom Bunny, Sister Tights, Son Trunks, and Daughter Bra) is named after underwear (besides Husband Vegeta), so a fashion line dedicated to her or her being named after a line are both completely likely. I thought about how SpongeBob and the other guy would look like fused and I can't help but think that it would be just Powdered Toast Man. You know it is a backwards episode when Nathan had the most cursed and Julia the least cursed drawing.
