Totally Random Animorphs Thoughts

[itw2009]

ah. i see.

cassie is KA's favorite. hands-down. why did i not think of this? why didn't this matter to my analytical brain?
stupid brain. so many things make sense now.

the 'author's pet' curse. she loves you: everyone else hates you.

i need sleep. further logicking requires sleep.

I never saw it as "favorites".  Katherine's just pretty much Cassie and Michael's pretty much Marco.  Their personalities and "writing voices" just came out most prominently in each, it wasn't some Mary-Sue situation.

Just saw this:

And this hilarious comment from another website(at the bottom):

Rare Mustang stolen from car centre in Springvale

Date May 14, 2015 - 11:22AM 
   
UPDATE: The owner of a rare Mustang stolen in a ram raid on Friday night says he is heartbroken over the brazen theft.

Craig Dean told Neil Mitchell two blue Ford mustangs were stolen from a car centre in Springvale.

One of the vehicles has since been recovered in Dandenong, but the Shelby GT 500 KR Mustang is still missing.

It was imported from the US and is valued at $100,000.


Mr Dean said the offenders came up in and "bashed the place up".

"They damaged two other cars that were there trying to get them out - it's very heartbreaking," he said.

The recovered car was in a reasonable condition he said.

Police believe up to four men used a vehicle already on site to ram open a roller door to access the vehicles.

Victoria Police spokesperson Creina O'Grady told Ross and John the cars were similar to those in the Gone in 60 Seconds movie.

Detectives have today released an image of the car in the hope someone can provide information.





Elfangor, it's not yellow, just give it back.

Also, David, the animorphs didn't tell you everything.

I thought this story was going to be trash can related when I started reading it.

One time I was reading #54 on my kindle, and thought "wow, this fanfic is great, they're all so in cha-- this isn't a fanfic"

So, this happened...

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Red-Tailed Hawks

and of COURSE the first thing I thought of when I saw it in my recommended YouTube list brought me here.

But seriously though, what a d*** move, and not just for those kids. You guys have the best contender ever for official raptor.

Also, why aren't YouTube videos getting embedded in posts anymore?

[NothingFromSomething]

Oliver's the man.  I've switched to his show from The Daily Show lately, Stewart's just become an unhinged crazyface lately.  I guess he's finally being honest and showing true colors, but ehh.  Oliver has a viewpoint, but he at least makes an attempt to be a bit more straight-down-the-line.

His writing's way less lazy, too.

OK but there is NO WAY that ep was not the work of anifans. I mean, the motto of New Hampshire showed up in one of the books.

[NothingFromSomething]

It's a pretty well-known motto, outside of Animorphs.  And aren't red-tails like one of the most common birds of prey in North America?

[SmartGirl333]

OK, let's just assume coincidence, but still use it as an anifan in-joke. Deal?

the squirrel that invited himself onto my lap on a park bench to help me eat my breakfast on friday.

clearly an animorph.
no sane squirrel would simply sit on my lap and tamely eat the almonds off of my spoon.

am i right?

...right.

[Chad32]

And we know at least one Animorph has a squirrel morph.

[itw2009]

given that we were 100 yards / 91m from the white house? i'd say that cassie needed the protein pick-me-up prior to a reconnaissance mission. anyone think that she might be a nervous eater?


(the worst part was seeing the secret service squad car between us and the rez and actually - briefly - thinking "if you need cover, little squirrel, i got you." i am the lamest fan ever. in fracking ever.)

[SmartGirl333]

Speaking of Cassie, remember that whole "is she a mary sue" debate? CONTINUE

[Chad32]

She's a flat character, makes decisions that by all rights should blow up in her face yet somehow the narrative makes sure it doesn't, and is the only one who gets to be somewhat happy at the end of the series. Besides marco for a little bit.
