I have a question... Can I ask you in PM? By the way, since this OOC services a live RP, I don't think it's dead yet. Mods might wanna add in a clause about live RP OOCs.

Animorphs Forum Classic / What should have happened to Aftran 942?

I don't think sending her off as a Humpback Whale nothlit was the best thing Jake could have done. I think there are better options that were on the table he could have picked, so I made a poll. Let's see what you all think!

(theres a KASU about this but it's mostly consistent)
This was fixed in the 2011 reprints; one of the changes that I liked. I didn't like the removal of 90s references, though. Actually, I should be more specific. I know why they removed the dated references, but I don't consider the removal of those references canon. Canon is still the same old references, but canon is also fixing inconsistencies and errors.

Sorry about bumping this thread, but it came up in a web search I was doing after reading https://archiveofourown.org/works/21300995/chapters/50724155 this story. The even better solution would have been to keep Aftran as an ally (with Erek's help making holograms and faking things, and providing Kandrona) instead of sending her off as a whale nothlit. Here's a link to the series this story is a part of: https://archiveofourown.org/series/1009743

Animorphs Forum Classic / Re: A better ending for Rachel

Kinda think you all might be looking too hard into the "could never be normal" thing, at least in relation to the point being "so she had to die" or whatever.  Seems more just a good way of Katherine/Michael showing that war changes people, in addition to Jake's state after the war and the Jake/Cassie romantic stuff evaporating etc.

She basically goes out with a sacrifice play to save Jake.  Because he's too important politically by then, only long-shot the humans have in dealing with the Andalite brass (Ax's whole 'prince' thing).  All the kids are important, but not all of them are necessarily vital to the aftermath of it the way Jake is.  If Rachel didn't volunteer, Jake probably would have gone and tried to do it himself, and no way Rachel was ever going to stand for that.

Couple it with the "who of the Animorphs (mentally, not combat ability) is going to actually be able to kill Tom?"  Ax obviously, Marco maybe might be able to pull the trigger.  Tobias...maybe, unlikely I think due to his empathy for Jake prior to the Rachel thing.   Cassie wouldn't.  But in terms of both drama and it being "fitting", Rachel or Jake are basically the candidates in a big finale like that.  The family link, the intensity of that, the themes of 'how much do you sacrifice to win?' etc.

It's a perfect Rachel ending, actually.  Selfless, brave, something that matters as the Ellimist conversation reinforces.  It's way less narratively poignant if she goes on the impossible mission and actually makes it out alive.

I've been a soldier and I've seen some terrible things. I hated the "message" that Rachel could never be normal after having been a dedicated warrior. Personally, I think Rachel was the only one of them appropriately behaving as though she was in a WAR. If you're too squeamish to kill your enemy in a life-or-death fight, you're going to lose.

yeah I didn't like that they sold the "could never be normal", especially when Jake was the one that couldn't get over it.  unless.... that was the whole point  ?(°?°)?
