7:01 “Oh he has one called ‘The Cowboy in Me’… that is progressive.”
Literal 10/10 joke by Karina that got no reaction
Oh thank you for that, I heard the "that is progressive" in episode, but missed the title. 😂
AHAHAHAH I snorted so loud when karina said that
@@morgandea Same, actually.
"I am trying so hard not to say something weird. So I won't."
This is the energy I need right now. Thank you, Karina.
I've gotta suspect it was something to do with the actual dolphin researcher(s?) who had sex with actual dolphin (the sex wasn't supposed to be part of the research and when people found out they were very much in trouble). I don't remember a lot of details but I know it's a thing that actually happened some decades ago.
No one acknowledged Karina's "He has a song called 'The Cowboy in Me'? That is progressive" joke, and that's a crime
I was shocked when she said it lol, very good joke
or the follow up "i'll look at his top hits ;>"
Do you know the time stamp?
Nvm it’s around 6:59
7:00 this is an amazing moment and it’s very sad that they don’t even notice 😭
I just realized that the drawfee cast grew up in the 90s and I am shocked. They should do an episode on what they thought their adult selves would look like, based on 90s fashion.
is it that shocking? they reference 90s stuff every episode - plus iirc they did a video with a very similar premise.
@@SythonToTheZ huh I didn’t know that, also yeah I knew that karina played neopets a lot but I never connected the dots. Could you link me the episode if I can’t find it?
@Nana the Brave (ネナ・ザ・ブレイブ) did I not what?
i was born same yr as karina but got shocked everyone else is older than her. same childhood either way apparently tho i cant draw i wrote way too much tho.
"Caught in my middle morph" definitely sounds like a metaphor for pictures taken of you in your awkward teenage years.
True that
Or that awkward stage between transitioning.
There was a book where hat almost happened to them.
One day I'll morph into a confident, cute muskrat.
Karina: "He's got a song called 'The Cowboy In Me.' That's progressive!"
MY
S I D E S
The only shame of this episode is that Nathan couldn't contribute, since he always draws such good animals. Otherwise, it's solid gold in all areas.
He woulda done too good of a job, we would not be able to stand the existential horror
I’ve accepted that some ideas are just too powerful for a full crew, unfortunate as it may be.
This can be his for a future Make-up Work!
Yeah I miss Nathan :,(
He could have gotten a rude ape.
I accidentally skipped forward a few seconds during the intro so what I got was Jacob saying "Uh-oh, I'm trans!" and then his portrait was a dolphin. Which may be the only example of a joke like that that was actually funny
I would sell someone else’s soul if Drawfee did another Animorphs episode with Chris Grine (artist of the Animorphs graphic novels) guest starring.
How about this: You sell my soul and I sell your soul and then we have DOUBLE the odds of getting it
I don’t know what or who that is but that sounds amazing
@@LaSa1 oh you must look up the Animorphs graphic novels, the second one is coming out in October. They are so good!
Would mine be good? Not using it
I have a list of souls that I have no use for, you can have them to sell. How many do you need?
“they probably don’t wear that makeup to Applebee’s” I played Rafiki at a summer camp and I assure you I did not have time to wash off all the makeup before I got home so I sure would wear it to other theatre rehearsals or stores or restaurants. There is video evidence of me practicing a dance in the ensemble of Cinderella in full mandrill makeup.
That's amazing.
Lol, that’s hilarious! It was tradition for us to all go to a restaurant after the final show with our makeup still on. Never played a monkey, but I did play a talking tree. For a different show I had to braid wire into my hair and bend it into weird shapes sticking out of the top of my head - there was no going back to normal hair without a lot of work and a shower, so if I had any errands to run I did them with crazy hair.
That’s awesome
Immediately after shows we go to a local restaurant and i feel bad for them just trying to understand why all these kids are decked out in makeup.
Scarers at theme parks and haunted houses do the same thing. Picture a 20 year old woman with scars and blood all over her face asking seriously for Cinnabon balls at 3 am at taco bell. Cashier didn't even blink an eye.
I love how simultaneously low effort and high effort the "Is It Wrong to Date a Dolphin in a Dungeon?" image is.
Julia being the secret daughter of the Animorphs author would explain a lot tbh
Idea: Julia gets a prompt and draws something. The others do not know the prompt and only see Julia’s drawing. They make drawings based on what they think the prompt was. After everyone has drawn, the prompt is revealed. I call it the “Julia cannot be predicted” challenge
I love every pay of this
This would be a masterpiece
Yes.
They think that the prompt is "An animated short in a futuristic setting", but the prompt really was "Cool cyborg arm"
So kinda like gartic phone?
Interesting story about Tim McGraw: when my sister was born before Christmas, she and my folks had to be flown from our military base to Vanderbilt in Nashville due to complications during her birth. She and my parents stayed at the hospital over Christmas away from me, my other sister, and my nana. They were there for some time until she was well enough to come home, a couple weeks at least. However, on Christmas Eve, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill came to the NICU to deliver presents to the children and their families who weren't home for the holiday. My parents met them both, and they were very kind and generous. :')
Aww
That is way too sweet!!
Julia’s ability to blend those faces was both terrifying and impressive.
@Iayae I was going to say, yup, she's got that on business cards.
Kinda wish she went with a younger picture of Lohan. She doesn't really look like herself nowadays.
Also a younger picture would be believable as a character in Animorphs, since they're all in highschool.
I've listened to Karina giggle at "he has a song called truck yeah" like 10 times now
Nathan: "Guys, that's actually a Mandrill, and mandrills are technically no longer considered baboons--"
Jacob: "Nathan, I stopped listening the SECOND you started talking."
this sounds like it actually happened
What episode?
@@kevinfromwork3785 Guess what? It kinda actually did! XD
Ultimate Animal Hybrids ruclips.net/video/U_mdYVFdUS8/видео.html at 10:15
How did I hear that in Jacob’s voice???
@@gibby4696 and in Nathan's! And Karina and Julia are just laughing in the background. I watch this show an unhealthy amount. It's one of my comfort channels.
I love how the tagline for The Solution is “A mistake was made. His name is David…” 😂🤣
Spoilers: The Animorphs end up having to involve David by happenstance because he (long story short) gets his parents taken and house destroyed by mind-controlling murderous aliens, and instead of being a helpful part of the team of heroes, he's a coward who almost gets them all busted and killed several times, then ends up murdering one of them (sort of) and trying to kill others. The heroes ultimately decide to trap him in rat morph forever and ditch him on an abandoned island to live out his days as a rat, because they decide it's kinder than killing him. (Unfortunately that's not the last they see of him, either.)
This comment brought to you by the agenda to spread the word to people that Animorphs is an incredibly dark series about the horrors of war despite how silly everyone assumes it is lol
I want to thank Jacob for the comedic genius that is "I'm Tim Musgraw"
My instant thought was Tim McGruskrat
Mucsgrat
But first we have to forgive Karina for "Faith Hill".
"When you think Tim Musgraw..."
Tim Miggufin!
I know I read a few Animorphs books in middle school, I vividly remember the wheeled shelf that the Animorphs books were kept on in my school library, yet I can only kind of remember the prequel about the aliens and the choose-your-own-adventure book where you die constantly. There was a part where you need to chose an animal to turn into so you can sneak into a birthday party, I think, and if you chose the ferret, the crazy old lady next door thinks you’re one of her pets, so she stuffs you in her purse and you slowly suffocate over way too many paragraphs.
What, no way. My library had a wheeled shelf with them too,that’s like the only thing I remember other than the covers
@@Neon99 It felt the forbidden bookshelf, in a way! It was at the back of the library so you couldn’t be seen from the front desk, but it was out in the open away from the normal shelves, so it felt like people could just watch you browsing the creepy cover books and judge you for it. XD
“He has one [song] called the cowboy in me… that is progressive” - Karina Farek
6:58 - extremely good
That joke DESERVED a reaction and received NONE
@@scarcat2469 maybe because she said it while the other two were talking really really quietly
Glad someone else caught that
I was lookin for this comment XD
The fact that Karina said “oh, I get it, because they’re animals… heheheh” under her breath at the end of the episode really just gets to me.
I had to try and listen to this over and over and then go and find a commenter who had figured out what she said.. thanks!
I’ll never get over Jacob’s dolphin impression.
Truth
its so perfect
Even with this comment to warning me, I was not prepared.
Yeee yeee yee yee ye
"hiee hiee hie hie he e e"
"Is turning into a rat the solution?" It was! That was the one where they tricked David, the evil animorph, into becoming a rat and trapping him on an island where his psychic screams terrified anyone who came near it!
I also loved seeing the Everworld cover because I instantly thought "oh that's a Coo-Hatch! They're my boys!"
The Coo-Hatch absolutely rule. (Major spoiler warning for anyone who may come across this and hasn't read Everworld yet!) -- the chemistry textbook -> gunpowder thing was one of the most awesome setups/payoffs I've ever encountered in fiction, fr
@@ItsAsparageese It was SUCH a good payoff!!!
Everworld is honestly severely underrated imo
@@GypsyScot1 Totally agreed! It kept its commentary-scope a bit narrower than Animorphs, def concentrated more on interpersonal dynamics and less on big external stakes, and really shined for it imo
I absolutely love “Denial of God” hidden at the top of Karina’s drawing. Like, yup. That title feels appropriate.
and the dead goku fades of the cougar and Selina Gomez
Karina always has the most fun in her renders. Like in the cartoon silhouette challenge where she just didn't bother to change anything about the doodle of her for scale
@@przemekdude why would she? It was perfect XD
I didn’t notice it until they mentioned it on the newest stream VOD
"Is it wrong to keep dating my boyfriend after he becomes a dolphin?" - in my country there's a legend that tells that pink dolphins can turn into handsome men; they wear white clothes and then seduce women to impregnate them, before leaving and letting the woman alone to raise the child :D
Oh! Fun...?
Cannot tell if this is a "yes" or a "no"...
oh, boto-cor-de-rosa reference!
that's the reverse of the selkie legends. interesting.
@@Duiker36 nes!
"I-Am-Bad-At-Names-And-Faces!"
Oh Julia, you just made me feel less alone in this world...
Same #RelatableAF
Same
I'm great with faces. absolutely horrendous with names. like an "I've met you before, but I forgot literally everything about you" type situation.
@@curlygurly2112 Oh, yeah, exactly. It's not that I don't remember, it's that these areas in my brain are not at all connected. Names and faces and situations/contexts. I remember your face, but not who you are: I remember your name, but I couldn't point to you in a crowd; I remember I met someone like you, but what's your name?
Ehh.
Same
Some notes to answer your questions:
In the rat book, they morph into rats to trick a rogue Animorph into morphing a rat while in a trap so that he gets stuck in morph for the rest of his (short) life. The “screaming rats” bit Karina says at the end is in reference to the fact that they leave him on a deserted island and fishermen report hearing screams coming from the island sometimes. He comes back in a later book and begs them to kill him instead.
In the caterpillar one, that morph is definitely not advantageous. Cassie does it to prove to a yeerk, one of the parasitic alien villains, that she would rather live as a blind, helpless worm like them than force a living host into slavery. The caterpillar morph acts as a bit of a deus ex machina, as it saves her in the end when she turns into a butterfly and resets the morph counter.
Wh…what 👁👄👁
@@sepiteria7797 These books despite seeming like an innocent fiction series can explore dark themes and have very disturbing imagery in them at times. If you can find them read them. They're definitely aimed at a middle school audience but inside this middle school fiction series is a very interesting and dark story of a group of children almost single handedly trying to win a war against an entire empire, and what affects this has on them.
Wtf are those books about lol. Never read any
@@Razsac A group of kids are given the power (alien technology) to morph into any animal whose DNA they can touch and absorb. They use it to fight an undercover invasion of alien parasites who enter people’s brains and control them while they are still fully aware. Throughout the series the kids must face the full brutality of war and trying to balance morality with saving earth. There are discussions of chemical warfare and genocide, and none of these poor tweens come out of it free of PTSD or with a clear conscience. It’s campy and very 90s at times, but also a great way to introduce kids to the horror of war and how not every decision will have a “right” answer. They are very dear to my heart… I’m 30 and I still re-read them so it’s never too late to start, if you’re interested lol.
@@SaritaWolf so what you're saying is it started when an alien device did what it did?
Please draw the character versions of "Who needs em?" "They're just like us!" and "We've all got 'em!".
Agree
they must!
This'd be so rad!
Who has a patreon or discord they could suggest this on?
Y E S
The fact that, canonically, morphing causes excruciating pain somehow makes a lot of sense with these drawings
actually they describe morphing as when you're under anesthesia so you don't feel what's happening but you know it *should* be really painful as you watch what's happening to your body.
Fun fact: Muskrats are excellent swimmers, thanks to their webbed back feet, laterally flattened tails, and the ability to hold their breath underwater for 15-20 minutes. They can swim backwards and forwards. Also Muskrats procreate underwater (most of the time)
Some might say that they are the middle morph of a rat and a beaver…
I bet I could swim faster than a muskrat.
I think we’ll judge if it was fun
Well this ones got shoes. They'll fill up with water right quick...cowboys do swim like floppy birds you know.
thanks
the part i remember the most about animorphs is a part where they go back in time, a trex swallows one and he morphs into something else while in the throat. the book goes out of its way to mention the trex whimpering in pain. really made an impressing on my 8yr old self. also, the telepathic hivemind ants were weird.
Bro 8 year old me covered my ears with a blanket when I slept so nothing could crawl in.
16:49 "Is that the solution?" Sort of, actually! The Solution is the book where the Animorphs are have to deal with a new recruit who went rogue and betrayed them, and they're forced to permanently trap him in the body of a rat and abandon him on a tiny island while his psychic screams of horror give the island a reputation for being haunted. You know! For kids!
Spoiler:
He tried to kill Tobias, so he kinda deserved it
@@estebanacostaolivera3232 Tobias was a sweet boy & he was my favorite
Not the most messed up thing the animorph kids kids.
Spoilers:
Jake literally committed war crimes when he flushed defenseless yerks into space.
@@genericname2747 that's the worst thing you could think of and not for example, the next spoilers:
- Drafting disabled kids
- Killing enemies by starvation
- Brainwashing peaceful species to fight for them (in the end they didn't do it but they had the intention)
@@estebanacostaolivera3232 Ah, I forgot about that.
These books are MESSED UP.
Sugestion: Draw historic famous scientists/inventors as superheroes with powers and design based on their most famous discovery/invention. THANK YOU for amazing content as always!

There's an anime that's basically this premises. It's called Nobunagun. The main character is the reincarnation of Oda Nobunaga, the samurai leader that popularized guns in feudal Japan, and her power is gun.
i paused this video to take a snak and saw my parants watching a singing compotition and a part of me was like "i cant belive people can actualy enjoy this reality garbage." and then i unpaused to see muskrat megraw be described as the "the best thing they ever made" and i had a moment of real self reflection.
Okay seriously underrated. my sides hurt now
😂😂😂 self examination- win!
As someone who is viscerally terrified of mandrills... This was truly the most upsetting Drawfee drawing to date
but they purty :(
Ever since karina mentioned she used to do mixed media i’ve been curious to see drawfee do traditional art. Whether it’s speedpaints or just them messing around i would love to see it! Though i also do realize that would mean a whole new filming setup
that would be awesome!
so you’re telling me you never watched the horrors of drawfee variety hour challenges
@@grey6703 Hopefully we have less Nathan murder if they do this challenge. The clones are limited
The Fear of Painting.
I've been learning how to paint with acrylics over the past year and I would really enjoy to see the Drawfee crew paint with classic mediums. That'd be pretty interesting.
Them: “I’m done with this, become rat”
Animorphs David:
oh man The Solution is probably one of the darkest books in the whole series. for anyone who thinks animorphs is just kids books, there's a ton of body horror, existential dread and war crimes committed by children.
Also psychological horror! Imagine being trapped in your own body, seeing and feeling everything, but your actions are caused by a slug that wants to kill/enslave everyone you love!
I love how Jacob talked about it backwards and thought the muskrat has a Tim McGraw form it transforms into 😂
Drawfee: Haha, it's so funny that this one is called "The Solution" and she turns into a rat on the cover
Me, having flashbacks: The... Solution...? You mean the one where they have to decide if they have it in them to cold-bloodedly kill the child soldier who betrayed them before he kills them all and finally manage to trap him permanently in the body of a rat and abandon him on an island? That Solution?
It’s ok, later on he comes back as the servant of an evil god alien before being defeated and banished back to his miserable island to die. So like, you know, kid’s got options.
Damn that's intense, now I kind of wish I'd read Animorphs.
Wait, was it the jerk with the cobra?
@@HeavyMetalMal42 That series did NOT mess around. (Except when they were totally messing around.) Lord Ravenscraft did a great 2-part video series on it if you're curious: ruclips.net/video/nPRKzwgqvAA/видео.html
@@HeavyMetalMal42 Same. I just liked looking at the covers. I really thought it was just mostly middle/high school drama but with half-animals so I never read them.
I'm not the only one who feels like Animorphs is that thing that everyone has read but no one talks about, right? I keep seeing it briefly mentioned and brought up everywhere, but this is the first time it's lasted for longer than just a single sentence.
I love how Karina hid “denial of God” in the background of the render with the original faces vaguely in the background
Karina and Julia's laughter when Jacob added the beady little muskrat eyes is possibly the best thing I've ever heard in my life
"They probably don't wear the makeup out to Applebee's" Jacob obviously isn't a theater person.... we wear the makeup out to Denny's at 2 in the morning. Obviously.
This is such a common theater kid thing I had to check your username to make sure that I hadn't in fact gone with you to Denny's in full stage make up at 2 am.
Same
Yep. Been there, done that.
Went to IHOP in full Frankenstein makeup
@@Regalecus_glesne was literally thinking just that, most fun is to wear as much of the show out as you can, the looks are priceless, and you often perk interest in the show
Dude the caterpillar book was one of the hardest-hitting books in the series - no joke the part where she turns into the caterpillar is like a sad climax that still kinda chokes me up!
When Jacob said the Broadway cast “probably doesn’t wear their makeup out to Applebee’s”
…as a former theatre kid, I have bad news
Yeah, I was thinking the whole time “did they ever not interact with or witness one theater kid after a show?”
Haha so true
The Broadway cast is not “theater kids,” they’re professionals and definitely don’t go out after the show in makeup
I feel like Julia drew a star wars character that's also a beauty guru and this is exactly the kind of content that I subscribed for. 10/10
It’s so cute to see Jacob and Julia joke around about their relationship, since they don’t often mention it on RUclips
Media should take note on that, and turn it into *happen to be dating*, in order to not distract the audience with the obvious
I remember hearing they were moving in together without hearing they were dating, so my mind thought “Oh, like friends?” Then later on I heard them trying to adopt a cat and then jump like “Wait a minute! Are they dating?”
@@edwinadunn1433 the first time I heard them mention they were dating was the 1 million subs episode which was like 2 years ago. So they've been public about it for quite a while
@@PatLund Yeah, I don’t know how I missed it, somehow I went full potato brain on that information until the mention on adopting cats. 😅
@@edwinadunn1433
how dare you not remember everything that has been said in every episode.
The swift "this is gonna be problematic for our relationship" JULIA-
I like Karina’s little “hnnnngggg” sound she makes before she lets out a laugh 😂
i was gonna call you weird but you know… me too
Karina is just so adorable all the time lol
It's a constipated laugh.
No, Animorphs pioneered the use of computers morphs. Sure, there were earlier covers without them, but they actually created software that would blend between two images, and started using those for later covers. I'm sure they were touched up, but they weren't created from scratch.
They even later let people have access to the software. I believe LGR did a video on it.
"Don’t take the girl” is actually an incredibly heartbreaking song about a man losing his wife to complications in child birth. But, out of context, just sage advice.
@Nana the Brave (ネナ・ザ・ブレイブ) I always get that video mixed up with Travis tritt’s Tell me You Didn’t Say Goodbye
Hmm actually might be called tell me I was dreaming…
Johnny's daddy was taking him fishing...
Wait is that a Tim Macgraw song?! It’s beautiful!
Not ugly crying tonight.... nope!
as a kid i remember always seeing Animorphs books and being mesmerized by the covers. I read a few of them, dont remember the stories being anything special, but the covers were awesome, and they also always had a little flip book in the bottom corner of each page so you could flip through and see the human morph into the animal and back
the scene where they turned into flies on an airplane and one of them got swatted and one of the others was like "do we put his guts back in him?" is forever burned into my psyche
akjsdghgjdkh WHAT.
@@genericname2747 lol yeah Jake got smashed and was about to die, and Marco was freaking out about if he demorphed without his guts being back inside him would he be okay. The group did (all as flies!) get all his body parts back in the general areas of where they should be and Jake demorphed and was fine. Physically, anyway. Mentally, he had PTSD and couldn't morph flies anymore.
OMG i just typed this above, but for me it's one of them being almost bitten in half by a(nother) ant
@@Baconinthesoap64 Huh! Well that's terrifying!
Fun Animorphs Fact: the extra matter for the Animorphs transformations came from a dimension that was also used for hyperspace travel, so when they transformed into anything smaller than their normal selves, it created a meat balloon in that dimension that had an infinitesimal chance of being hit by space traffic
terrifying thank you so much for sharing 💖
Fun fact: I was in middle school with K. A. Applegate's daughter, Julia. The whole family lived in an Italian castle for a year and I was insanely jealous
They mentioned Don't Take the Girl and I instantly started crying. It's such a sad song!
Throwing it out there again:
Y’all should do a round robin of the Portrait of Dorian Gray; one artist does the original pretty man painting, and the others each take a turn building up the age and disfigurement.
That other series Jacob talks about, Everworld, if it's the one I'm thinking of, has a giant baby whose eyes melt in like the third chapter. It was horrifying.
Finally, I have an adequate episode suggestion! InspiroBot is an internet AI that generates random "inspirational" quotes and messages. I would LOVE to see the Drawfee crew tackle some of the chaotic nonsense it comes up with. Some gems I've seen include:
"We have the power to make our colleagues wish they were somebody else."
"In the future, everything will be horrible. So it's okay to believe."
"Long shall he live, the student who owns his dinner, but the student who owns his wine must perish."
"Behind every farmer stands a burglar."
"You can take the word out of the ray of sunshine, but you can't take the ray of sunshine out of the word."
"As soon as you forget how to wear him, you forget how to terrify him."
"Paying a guy to live like a robot is the definition of traumatizing."
They range from being plain absurd, to incredibly ominous to just straight up legit sometimes, but all of them give off such Drawfee energy that I NEED to see you guys interpret them.
Yesssss this would be so good oh my god
Omg yes
5:20! Julia: I have a faith hill. It's the one my church is on..
Jacob: ..Do you wanna apologize to the viewers?
lol
I love that Jacob just strolls in with some joke about "The Solution", and has absolutely _no idea_ what the eponymous solution actually was
There are celebrities I would show drawfee too, but unrelated episodes to them. Like showing jack black “drawing badly translated Pokémon” . I think he would give a hearty chuckle
no one's mentioned it that i could see, so, i will mention: the kids do turn into cockroaches, and it's their preferred bug morph for sneaking and stuff! they learn VERY early on how some bugs (ants and i think termites?) are VERY VERY BAD TO MORPH INTO because of the hive aspect, because they also have the mind of the animal in there with them when they morph. also ants can and will kill outsiders to the colony, which is bad when you bring an outsider ant morph 😐
i distinctly remember the book when one of the girls transformed into a bear and falls on a fire ant hill and the description of the fire ants biting her and crawling into her bear nose, just horrific, but i love it!
Ants love roaches as a food source, as do birds, so, there are some drawbacks.
I vaguely remember a scene where one of them morphs into a fly to sneak onto a plane and gets fly swatted. It's narrated from his point of view and describes the feeling of being swatted and having to wait - hoping not to die - until he could morph back. Not sure if it is real but I think it is
@@sparky21737 yes! i remember that too
I love how this is an episode where everyone is bound to create something horrible, and out of all the episodes, THIS is the one where Julia actually creates the least disturbing piece out of all of them
This prompt simply *must* return. We need another one with ALL FOUR artists. I love and need it.
Julia's drawing before the color was added reminded me of what you would expect to see in a cyberpunk setting. The character would probably be a street shaman in something like Shadowrun.
Karina’s post edits that have ominous wording will always get me. “Denial of God” is being added on my list now
the fact that y'all talked about funny covers and picked the Solution, among the most terrifying moral experiments of the series....powerful stuff. as a lifelong animorphs fan thank you so much for doing this
Drawfee: hehe funny rat
Animorph fans: *FEARFUL SCREAMING + GROSS SOBBING*
Karina mumbling "He has a song called the cowboy in me. That's progressive" nearly had me in tears
I almost forgot to make my request for more MTG content. Julia has got to draw Abolisher of Bloodlines sight unseen! It is the back side of Voldaren Pariah (the set has transformations like werewolves that require dual-faced cards). Abolisher of Bloodlines was MADE for Julia to draw- multiple heads, multiple limbs, mouths just all over the place. Trust me, the ultimate reveal will be SO worth it!
concept: animorphs telephone
one person does each level of the animorph stages but they are only based off of the last phase drawn
the energy this episode is so mysterious and threatening. excellent
When Julia started talking about Animorphs being a documentary, it reminded me of how I absolutely thought that Animorphs was real as a kid. I though Applegate was a pseudonym and she was actually one of the aliens trying to warn humanity about the evil aliens taking over and that all of the events in the books were real.
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING.
I saw this comment as that part came up.
you know too much
Jacob: "Let us know if you'd like us to do something like this again"
No, I'm good thanks. I have enough nightmare fuel for now.
"The Solution" in question is that the group decides that they need to get rid of David (a sixth human animorph they temporarily added) and they do so by trapping him as a rat and stranding him on an island forever (as opposed to just outright killing him) where his psychic screams of anguish are so intense that passing ships can feel his misery :3
Also oof, the gang discussing bug morphs... we all remember the ant morph and the fly morph, stealth missions were a dangerous game
David came back later near the end of the series, and It was not outright said, but heavily implied that they did have to kill him. And yeah,, the pictures on the books don't nearly live up to how hideous and disgusting the morphs were often described to be
@@sennveloxavy9413 yeah, Rachel's horror during the shrew morph and Marco's description of the ant morph really had younger me horrified
wtf
I hadn't thought about those books for probably more than a decade until this video. I collected all 50-odd main series novels when I was about 9-10 years old, and enjoyed them as sort of action/adventure. Then I re-read a few when I was 18, and saw them in a whole different light. I'm curious if there was ever a complete boxed set made that I could hunt down, or if they got digitized, because I think it's time for another read-through.
16:48
(ME, an Animorphs fan)
MY TIME HATH COME
Fun fact; that's the one where Rachel (the rat girl) has a crisis due to the war giving her a crippling bloodlust that alienates her from her teammates even when they hypocritically use it in battle, and she is then tempted by a godlike satanic alien to embrace her murderous rage and be granted unimagined power.
The grand finale(the "solution" in the title) probably refers to the end where david(a young ex animorph who betrayed and tried to kill the team only to get tricked and forced into a rat form forever) begs rachel to kill him. It ends ambiguously so we never know if she did the deed.
Yeah it was a fun book series:)
Jacob: "This book is called 'The Solution', and the cover is just a girl turning into a rat."
Me and my Animorphs knowledge: "Oh yeah! That was one of the most messed up books in the series!"
Oh, the girl transforming into a caterpillar was *also* a Very Emotionally Wrought book.
@@josepholiveira2873 I am curious though if they were accidentally looking at the cover of the Sickness (where Cassie morphs into a Yeerk), because in the caterpillar one, she's morphing into a butterfly.
I took a children's book course at my university, and one of the things I learned was that the author and illustrator generally don't speak to each other. They go through their respective agents so creative differences/arguments are limited. I'm glad Applegate sent presents, at least, lol
I'm no broadway actor but I have personally gone to applebee's in my crazy theatre makeup after performances (applebee's, chili's, and whataburger were the only restaurants with dining rooms open late enough to do this)
That book, despite having a funny cover, was one of the darkest books in the series. “The solution” was to trap a boy in the body of a rat and it was implied that they left him on an island of trash on his own for the rest of his life!
One of the most horrific books in YA. The bizarre Animorphs resurgence in the last year has been so good.
To be fair, he also tried to murder them all. Its a messed up situation, but the inverse was being dead and humanity being doomed.
I've always been confused about how serious and dark the Animorphs books actually got. For whatever reason, grown adults read some of these stories, looked at each other, and then decided to make a silly looking transformation from a young human to an animal with no context be the cover.
@Ian Rose the cover artists definitely didn’t read the books. They got maybe the blurb from the back cover, probably a few guidelines from the publisher, and possibly some examples of covers from earlier in the series.

Despite growing up in the 90s, in the glorious peak of Scholastic Book Fair era, I have never read an animorphs book. The covers disturbed me too profoundly.
@@LupineShadowOmega he only betrayed them because his entire family was murdered and the Animorphs immediately adopted him into the war as a soldier. Though they didn’t have much choice, unlike the disabled children they actively recruited and used as cannon fodder to distract the enemy while they prepared a sneak attack. I believe that culminated in the genocide when Jake ejected a few billion yeerk civilians into space but that might have been later.
Just remembered how the books had a flip book of the morph in the corner next to the page numbers.
Tim McGraw as a Muskrat would be called Timmusk McGrat.
I once spent a full three hour and fifteen minute stage makeup class making myself up as a Cougar. Only using paint, no prosthetics, but wow I got into those fur textures.
I did get an A+, which the professor had only given maybe three times before.
This episode is just "oops, all nightmares!!"
Y'all usually make so many anime references that I don't get, but today there was a Hilma af Klint reference and I felt truly seen.
Oh no, Julia mentioned the caterpillar one D: That one scared me when I was younger, because that girl was trapped as a caterpillar because she was like put in a glass or something and couldn't change back in time? So she had to live as a caterpillar and turn into a freaking butterfly before she was able to change back to human D:
From what I remember, she turned into a caterpillar WILLINGLY. It was a sign of peace between her and a yerk.
@@genericname2747 correct
I can't express the absolute joy in seeing this video, alongside the horrible nerdy need to explain why Cassie morphed into a caterpillar in the book they were talking about lol
Please draw angels based on Old Testament descriptions such as the seraphim, cherubim, and ophanim! I’d love to see how Julia would interpret them.
Are we going with the theory that mentions of feet in the Bible is actually slang for something else?
Oh yeah definitely.
Really recontextualizes all the feet washing Jesus did. Not sure how much I believe the theory but I want it to be true so it must be.
@@obviousalias132 If you see feet mentioned in the bible it means literal feet nothing else. Feet washing was done because most people wore sandels and their feet would get covered in dirt and dust so they would wash them or have servents wash them when they entered a house.
@@madisonlohr6492 but that’s boring
I’m trying to pinpoint the quality that Nathanlessness brings to this video... I think the hint of existential dread that’s present in many Drawfee episodes is accentuated by the absence of his chill.
Without Nathan here to comfort us we're alone with our thoughts
As a certified Small Town Girl ™️, them only barely knowing who Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are was EXCRUCIATING.
Two jokes not getting enough appreciation: "He's got a song called 'The Cowboy in me'? that's progressive.
And the "Denial of God" text in the colored version of Karina's art
Suggestion: Draw strange Egyptian gods based only on names and description.
Oooo!!! I love this 😍
im here for it and i put forward hapi as an obscure god to draw!
Draw Slifer the Sky Dragon, Yoog...
Let’s sum up the drawings!
Jacob : Cartoon gag
Karina: Realistically shaded anime drawing
Julia: A b s t r a c t A r t .
Episode idea: each host picks one of their own personal/off-show/pre-drawfee works and describes it to another artist, and then compare the results (kinda a combination of the sketch artist challenge and drawing fanart of each others work, plus we get to see off-show art)
SO The story about the girl turning into a caterpillar is actually kinda sad and that's why I remember it. One of the girls (Cassie, I think) gets overwhelmed with her new powers and is convinced by someone she thinks is a friend (but isn't) to transform into something small and insignificant so she can escape. She passes the two hour time limit as a caterpillar and her other friends freak out since it's the first time any of them dared to be so reckless. It ends up working out because caterpillars have a natural transformation which manages to reset her two hour timer once she becomes a butterfly, so she is able to become human again and everything is fine.
As an adult, it's kind of a silly story, but as a kid, it was actually traumatic.
I love how Katrina is so anti Jacob and Jacob just accepts that this has been his reality for long enough that he doesnt fight it
God, I need an episode where they come up with Isekai titles and draw the covers
