1994 Toyota Celica posted:i really enjoyed the bit in the middle of the 'time travel through human history' megamorphs book, where ax has a breakdown over how insanely horrifying human history is compared to his understanding of andalite history and then during the disabled kids arc he acts like (and gets called on) being a real shithead about it because andalites completely oust anyone like that from their society "to spare them the shame of being seen"

Ytlaya posted:I feel like Animorphs did a good job of coming up with a setting where it's reasonably plausible for children with comparatively weak powers like "Turn into animals" to actually be relevant. It basically threaded that needle by having the enemies also be vulnerable things that rely on deception, which in turn made the ability to disguise yourself as an animal a similarly useful espionage tool. one of my favorite things is that the yeerks only dont start hunting for people because they're convinced the animorphs are "andalite bandits" and then when its revealed that they're like fourteen visser one(three) has a loving meltdown

remember the time they recruited a new member and he turned out to be a psycho so they forced him to turn into a rat and then used their own pet psycho to take him out to a little lovely island off the coast where he'd live the rest of his days trapped as a rat and then later in the series its mentioned that people avoid the island because everyone hears someone shrieking for help and they think its haunted because its the loving kid they did a war crime to screaming out with telepathy like imagine being fourteen and the cool urban legend is actually a ahorrible thing that you did to another kid and everytime you hear it you have fuckin ptsd

the book about the conquest of the Hork-Bajir by the yeerks was just heartbreaking these good simple tree demons got sucked into a galactic war in which they had no stakes, just to be used as living weapons they were only ever meant to trim trees

from the deend threadEndorph posted:There's also the time Patrick fired people for saying that men should be considered sex offenders for raping their wives quote:Gov. Deval Patrick’s brother-in-law did not have to register as a sex offender because his hearing officer ruled that spousal rape is not considered rape in Massachusetts — a decision that has outraged victims’ advocates calling on the governor to disavow the claim and apologize. quote:On September 17, 2014, Patrick fired the Massachusetts Sex Offender Registry Board chair Saundra Edwards and placed director Jeanne Holmes on paid administrative leave because they pressured the board to force Patrick's brother-in-law to register as a sex offender, based on his conviction for raping his wife, Patrick’s sister

"its hosed up that on zero notice they didnt have a plan for a situation they had never encountered before, involving someone who could reveal their identities and get them all killed who was actively being hunted by the brainslugs, what assholes they are for not anticipating an edge case scenario like this"

i think you're too hard on the ol Ellimist, dickeye crayak was out there destroying for shits and giggles, once Ellimist had the freedom of the stars he mostly spent his time ending wars, teaching people and building things he didn't take up the war path until Crayak stumbled into his view, and his moves since then have been to minimize, subvert or negate Crayak's attempts at destruction remember the mission to that weird alien planet, when the animorphs fought crayak's best engineered killers, and applegate introduced a generation to the concept of 'flechettes' and jake ruined them as a weapon for crayak by streaming his memory of being held in his mother's arms directly into their hivemind Ell's not a liberal, the only reason he no longer physically engages with Crayak is because the last time that happened it destroyed 1/10th of a galaxy, and E no longer has a physical body anyway
