Sorry, I'm not afraid very easily... particulary if there is a way to die ^_^'
The thing who afraid me the most is to have a long boring life and to be totally useless... because it's what I already live since I'm born.
You don't know me... I'm calm when a boy try to hit me with a big knife, I'm calm (may be too calm, poor woman ^_^') when my neighboor come to tell me that there is fire in her car (it made me smile... poor woman ^_^'). I laugh or smile when people tell me sad things, very often, I can't stop me from doing that... I don't act how many people act... so how do you know I wouldn't act like that? How can you know who will be a resistant and who won't? Even me, I don't really know if I would be a resistant, but I'd try to... in one way or another...

Dameg, my dear, sometimes you make me laugh. A lot. You are so wonderfully kind to all of us at RAF, and yet you talk about your Real Life self as something from the Dark Side. I am almost exactly the opposite, in the sense that I will put the facts of something well before the emotions of anyone involved,  but in Real Life I have always been a Nancy Drew-Goodie Two Shoes-Teachers' Pet type (but only in actions; I always say what I feel like saying, regardless of who hears, 'cause anything else feels like lying).
 ;D


I've already said that I'd resist, until such a point that it became impossible.

The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

The Dark Side? Don't know... My friends just say I'm horribly pessimistic... I just think I'm logical, realistic and honest (in the bad way of it, may be...)
But if I make you laugh, it's great ^_^ If I can make somebody happy, it's agreat evolution for me :p

 :) Of course.

1. Nancy Drew is a character in an American book and movie series. She is a girl-detective, and she is always very sweet, friendly, and adorable. She even makes cookies for people. *shudder*

2. Goodie two shoes is sorta' hard to explain...it is like being a suck-up (or kiss-a**, if you prefer) AND being morally superior, at the same time. You always do the RIGHT thing, and it annoys the heck out of everyone else.

3. Teachers' Pet is the favourite student of every teacher in a school, usually the smartest and best behaved kid in the class. Everyone else BUT the teacher is usually nauseated by the teachers' pet, but the teacher adored the kid.

Is that clear enough? :)

I think I'd fight, I'd hate to think I'd turn my back on my entire planet.  If the aliens were like Yeerks I'd probably try to find the good ones and work with them, though not necessarily let one in my head.  It depends, maybe if they ask nicely. x3

On the subject of Yeerk love, I like the idea that a Yeerk can love another Yeerk, or at least feel the love of their host for another human host ("exaggerated sympathy", rawfl).  Yeerks themselves can probably feel very strong connections to other Yeerks, like friends and siblings (what about twins who work together, or that guy in #8 like morfowt mentioned).  Whether it's love or not is kind of a fine line, if you grieve when a sibling dies (Aftran) or a close um, grubhood friend (Eslin in #8) is killed, or whether you abandon your own people because you love living as a human and you care enough for the other Yeerk you're with to have kids with him...I think you could call those things as much love as the love-starved Yeerks can experience.  It's just new to them, that's all.

Myitt > So cute *_* I don't know if they feel "love" as Humans usually feel it... (May be I like to write fanfictions about Yeerks because I never felt "love", only "friendship"...=> ) It's the way I see them... I think they have a kind of "love", but not exactly the same than Humans...
And thanks for the explaination, Estelore... In French "teacher's pet" is "chouchou" (du prof= of the teacher) ;p I think I never was a teacher's pet... and one of my teachers really seemed to hate me ^_^' (it was many years ago....)

I think I never was a teacher's pet... and one of my teachers really seemed to hate me ^_^' (it was many years ago....)

I had one teacher, in 5th grade (so I was 10), who said dinosaurs and humans lived at the same time...this would not stand.  I, evil little kid that I was, politely said I disagreed...and then wrote to a university paleontologist, who sent me a letter telling me the evidence of dinosaurs and humans being separated by millions of years.  Unless you count birds, mwahahaa...so I showed the letter to her in front of the class.  I think she must have really LOVED me after that.  Oh yes.  I bet the other kids loved me too, that's like the opposite of a teacher's pet, it's the know it all that annoys everyone XD  That's the only time I did that, because....it was dinosaurs.  Come on now.  xD;;;  *hides*

Back on Yeerks...yeah, they seem to have the capacity to act on what their hosts feel, so maybe they can learn to love.  Awwww. ^^

For that matter do Yeerks dream?  Do they even sleep?  Okay, another off topic tangent...x3

lol!
I think they can dream ^_^ Why not?
And for sleeping... I think it's about like horses who sleep standing, or shark who sleep swimming... They continue to "block" the host (so the host can't move) but sleep in the same time. For example, when Eva, before her false-death, wake up in the night to say to her husband to never work for military (or something like that), I think Edriss (her Yeerk, Visser 1) was sleeping too well and loose the control...

Well, I guess, when i dreamnt something about the Yeerks attacking Earth without morph capable warriors of light to defend us... I felt... kinda... afraid or something. Although I still had a sense of trying to protect the people i love, I still decided not to fight. I decided to defend those people around me instead.

I guess I think like Marco the way you think like Jake/Rachel. Maybe I just want to concentrate on staying alive, and making sure the people I love stay alive as well. I'd fight hard too, but not to win the war. Just to protect the ones I love. If it helps save the world in the process, that's just the bonus points. What I really want is the security of my friends and family... I guess...  :)

You're right. Protecting our family and/or our friends is important and already enough hard ^_^'
When I think about Yeerks attacking Earth without any Animorphs to fight... I'm sure Yeerks would win... ^_^'

That is what my fan-fic is like. A group of non-morph capable humans who fight the yeerks.

Oooh this is interesting!

I think I'd honestly pretend nothing was happening.  I've always liked aliens so I'd be cursing the mean aliens for coming and giving a bad name to all the other aliens.  And then I'd tell everyone else not to worry, the good guys will get here eventually and stop them. I would probably just sit back and wait since I'm no fighter. Unless they attacked my friends or family.  Then my temper would take over and I'd fight to protect them.  I'd fight if the animorphs or someone else with some supernatural power came to me too, I'd act just like those trekkies in #47 most likely. If somebody normal with guns came asking me to fight I'd probably say no though.  That wouldn't be cool enough to convince me to get into danger. :p

Unless the Andalites come, yeah, The Yeerks would really win.... So sad....  :'(
Anyway, this may sound selfish but, this would be my priorities.

1. Protect youself
1. Protect the ones you love
2. Protect those around you.
3. Protect Earth.

z. Protect your enemies never.  ;D

JSF > True, it's a good idea!!

In fact, I forgot this:
No Animorphs => Yeerks win, Humans lose, but Andalites win and destroy Earth
No Animorphs neither Andalites => Yeerks win, Humans lose... Yeerks destroy a part of Earth...

The only way, if no Andalite, no Animorph help, is to use politic to protect what you can...
Protect your enemy: never... I agree, but you can try to understand your enemy and make a deal... when you have no other choice...
