"You may now demorph."

[Viss3r]

For me when I first read about Jara Dying was when I cried, hard to say why so much, possibly because it made it sink in how Rachel had died, and it was like everything I had always thought about the ending was true, No one was going to be happy at the end.

And yes when I read the lines you may now demorph, I did what I do with everything that truly means something to me, I started from the beginning.


I just re-read the whole series and when I got to 44 what I think is the lowest point (I still always thought it was good) I was still wishing that I had more than 12 books left.  And even though I’m 23 I tiered up when Jara died again.  And the classic last words "Ram the blade ship" and when I read You may now demorph it was like I was 14 again.  There was something so final about it. Anyway that’s what I reckon.

And I think at the point where Rachel is about to die or just did and you find about jara you should be listening to the song "Reckoner" By Radiohead, Its off "In Rainbows" for those that don't know.

"you may now Demorph" got me kind of emotional when I originally read it, bu now I would argue that Elfangor ending with <Hope.> or Rachael ending with "I wonder if-" are both much more gripping than "you may now demorph."

Okay, so I would never admit this to anyone in real life, but when I read those four little words I cried. I cried almost as hard as when rachel died.

I think that it is strange to have such a clear moment of growing up. Even thinking about it now gives me the same hollow feeling in my stomach that I had through most of the book. I remember so clearly reading it on a rainy sunday afternoon.

Animorphs affected me emotionally more than anything else I ever read. More than anything else, I wanted it to be real. I wanted to be able to morph and fly out of my bedroom window into the night. You may now demorph for me was almost a way of KA saying "I understand, and it kinda is real."

I don't even know. What little phrase would you have ended it with?

Hmm I read this phrase a year ago, in English, a foreign language. I was not raised with English, it was just a compulsory language taught from elementary school. I didn't fully understand cultural references in the book, I didn't get some of the points and such, so that phrase was alien, like, I can never fully comprehend what it means no matter how hard I'm trying to analyze.

Didn't kill my connection with the book, though. And I cannot replace it with anything else, same as I cannot replace 'all was well.'

I have to agree with what Chad said earlier. They were really charged for me. And I think we're all nothlits to the series... Why we have to hang on, keep hope, and make fanfic or other Animorphs art. And find others to do it with.
