They actually use Cake a lot. :P
Tobiel?

Tobiel sounds nice. Another alternative without Rachias.

I'm new this whole shipping thing. Can we ship threesomes? Maybe Marximilias? Marco, Ax, and Tobias?  :-*

It took me years to realise "Prince" didn't mean the same thing in Andalite military terms as it does in human societies. For a long time i just couldn't get why Elfangor was a prince but Ax wasn't.

You'd think Ax calling Jake Prince would have tipped you off that the meaning was different.

Yeah Rabias does sound similar to rabies. Cake sounds great for Jake/Cassie. I have never shipped Marco/Ax. Kind of a leftover from when I used to dislike homosexuality, but I always assume two close same sex people are just buddies until they start kissing or something. Not that Marco and Ax were terribly fond of each other like that.

You'd think that, but really it just confused me even more.  :XD:

I've always found the end of #8 really frustrating. The Animorphs had a golden opportunity to deliver a devastating blow to the Yeerks and gain a very powerful ally.  If only Alloran could have morphed and rid himself of the poison, if only Tobais hadn't missed Visser Three when he wiggled through the grass (I can't imagine catching a slow moving slug would be harder then a terrified mouse)
There were plenty of so-close-yet-so-far moments in the Animorphs series, but none of them irritated me as much as that one.

Yeah. Buuuut... that book had the first real characterization of Ax. So... it balances out.

V3 had major plot armor on that day. I actually roleplayed a character that was based on an alternate universe where they did manage to kill him, but the Yeerks won because V1 came back to finish the job V3 was trying to do.

Plot armor. PlotArmor? :o hello fellow troper

and yeah the Yeerks are weird. they put V1 in charge of Leera and V3 in charge of earth. To quote CinnamonBunzuh:

Quote from: Ifi
It's like the council of thirteen took Vissers One and Three and were like, "Hey we found posts that are perfect for both of you but we're assigning you to each other's."
"All-out invasion of an alien frog planet with lots of combat? Edriss you can do that."
"A subtle and painfully slow takeover of the state of California, which relies exclusively on an understanding of human culture? Esplin, you're up."
This quote comes from this review

I think it was V4 for Leera, but I will admit V3 was an odd choice for a guy with V3's personality. Given how he was promoted to v1 after his failures, instead of demoted, I'd say he has some sort of pull with the Council. He wanted to be the one that killed Elfangor. Why he stuck around after that, I don't know. Although I do remember it turns out the only reason they were going for quiet invasion was because V1 didn't want two Humans to get killed in the war. I think the original explanation was that if they went openly, War of the Worlds style, the Humans might have won, but then it one book Ax says the Blade Ship could ignite Earth's atmosphere from orbit. So even if we kept them from taking us all, they could still take some of us and burn the rest, and one or two billion would likely be enough to satisfy their needs.

And yes, I'm a troper. There was a thread where we gave the books alternate titles, and most of the alternate titles I came up with were tropes. Except things like naming the last book The End.

Would it work if you acquired yourself at age, lets say, 13, then 10 years later morph into your 13 year old self? I don't even think you can acquire yourself since your DNA is already in you, but what if you cut off an arm and preserved it or something, then acquired that arm 10 years later-you would be acquiring (slightly) different DNA than what you already have! I don't really know how DNA ages or anything, so correct me if I'm wrong.

And if that worked, you could live to like 90, then morph into 13 year old self, become a nothlit, move to another country and disguise yourself so you could live again. And if the ellimist owes you a favour you could repeat the cycle- you could live forever! ;D ;D ;D
Well, I'm the boss... Head Honcho. El Numero Uno. Mr. Big. The Godfather. Lord of the Rings. The Bourne... Identity. Er... Taxi Driver. Jaws. I forgot the question quite a while back. Who are you, again?

You know how Ax acquired all of the Animorphs (except Tobias) and combined them via Frolis maneuver? Could he morph into just one of them?
