I won't start a flame war, I've given up. There are far too few Cassie fans out there... At least I am one of them.

Since my rename the books thread isn't getting off the ground, let's put random way-too-long "titles" here. Bonus points for pop culture references.


#26: Jake and Cassie finally kiss while trying to save vulture Ankh-Morpork from Sauron's demon children.

Its been long time since I read the book #54(or any of them for that matter), but I still find the part where V3 kills auxiliary animorphs with the big ship cannon hilarious.
And with hilarious I mean hilarious similarly as when Joker blows things off or kills someone in "humorous" way in Batman series.
"pew pew pew! Look at those andalites die! Ha ha ha ha!"
Yet seeing your post made me think, "omg, I've never thought of that, you are an evil genius".

I found it just facepalm-worthy. To me it seemed obvious that Applegate wanted them gone. Like recruiting them was supposed to be this big controversial thing, that showed another step down a dark road, and after that she just needed them out of the way. Though my sentment was recruiting them was a great idea, and they probably should have done it sooner. i know David was a flop, but that scenario wasn't as controlled as it ideally should be. Not to mention that him turning on them was partly their fault. I mean, having him sleep in a loud, smelly barn instead of a guest room in Eric's house? Come on guys. at least try a little. i know the side plot is mega impotant, but he's a Human being going through stress. More stable people would justifyably snap under such pressure, and he's a guy who names his pets Spawn and Megadeath.

Huh.  Something interesting just occurred to me.  Several people have pointed out that, because Cassie is a space-time anomaly who corrects any incorrect timeline, Megamorphs #3 should never have happened, right?

I only just now realized, though, that Cassie actually WAS the one who fixed the timeline in Megamorphs #3.  *mindblown*

And indeed, Megamorphs #3 technically never happened. 

(Well, unless we're going with the multiverse view of time travel, which Animorphs apparently doesn't.)

I feel like Animorphs not ascribing to the Multiverse view is highly debatable. At least factoring in fan theories, which... is mostly what I mean whenever I say "debatable" in fandom discussions, why am I clarifying this.

I will retain my gripe about the Cassie time-anamoly thing, and say that while that making her fix the timeline is a neat idea that I don't think she fixes anytime line.
Maybe the Sario Rip in 11 doesn't count as a broken one, but I think of it as such and she didn't fix it.

Moreover, I think it's to do with her time line

I love the way the Ellimist describes life forms as lines in space-time, that he can see where the stretch and grow, but while they connect to many, they are distinct, they start of from a point all their own when one is born, and curl up into nothing when one dies. Cassie's line wouldn't exist in WWII or anything. (Would love to know what happened to it when she went back though)
I see her line as being anchored (grounded, if you will) to table. You can shift it, but you can't pick it up and move it across the room. The lines she's connected with she also anchors, eventually snapping back and bring them with her. Think about the others saw breaks too, but unless they are all somewhat grounded naturally, or it turns out morphing unintentionally does it, a bunch of other people should have been disturbed too, but it only happened to those connected to her, on this issue (avoiding the "Ellimist did" explanation)
But those connections to exist till particular points in time, so she can only effect certain people and events. Just turns out some of those have different scale
Something, something, oh crap I pissed everyone off again....

I think #11 counted as a stable time loop that she didn't need to fix, because it fixed itself on its own and placed Jake in a slightly more beneficial position to the cause, having learned something about leadership.  Heck, come to think of it, his time flashes started happening pretty much the moment he came in contact with Cassie that day.  Maybe she unintentionally caused it to an extent.  After all, laser beams intersecting and nukes detonating don't typically cause time travel as far as we know.
