So if you had to take one of the resistence in for a while..
« on: September 14, 2010, 07:08:59 AM »
So the Animorphs, Free Hork Bajir, Chee, anyone good need a place to stay hidden for a while. Who would you shelter?

I'm thinking Ax. We'd veg out with old American sitcoms (and The Break), eat pizza and talk about how valiant and brave we would have been if cinnamon buns hadn't got in the way.

Also; Hello. I'm Red, by the way. I'm new. Weeping like a child as I re-read the entire series this month got too much for me, so I made an account. :)

Welcome to the board!

Actually, just about any of the good guys. Even Cassie, who is my least favorite character. I'm just that kind of guy.

Thanks!

That's very charitable of you. Why is Cassie your least favourite?

Well, she gets preachy and has all these "moral" rules that limit the others. One of the most notorious is the rule against morphing sentients on the basis that it's like what the Yeerks do. Except it isn't at all what the Yeerks do.

Yeah, I realised as soon as I replied that Cassie is probably my least favourite too. She's definitely needed as a character but whereas her morality issues are useful in earlier books, she's sometimes more of a hinderance to the Animorphs in the later books.

I kind of sympathize a lot with Cassie. A lot of people don't understand that she kept the other Animorphs and Ax sane. C'mon, if it weren't for Cassie, they would have bombed the Yeerk Pool by book 24, easily scarring the Animorphs for life; they don't exactly see the consequences of their actions the way Cassie does.

See how Jake was scarred at the end? Cassie's influence made Jake strong up until the point where he hid things from Cassie.

Oh yeah, and if they bombed the Yeerk Pool early on, then Earth would have lost much much faster. You all know why. :)
I'm just a writer, and my main goal was always to entertain. But I've never let Animorphs turn into just another painless video game version of war, and I wasn't going to do it at the end. I've spent 60 books telling a strange, fanciful war story, sometimes very seriously, sometimes more tongue-in-cheek. I've written a lot of action and a lot of humor and a lot of sheer nonsense.

Welcome to the board Red! ^_^

Hmm...I'd probably take in Ax or Marco, we're both equally nerdy with tech stuff, though both would be way better with them than me. I like to use them, not understand how they work...

And I could so take Marco in video games. He wouldn't stand a chance. ;)

Marco, just for the entertainment value. :D Although that'd be like having an extra version of my husband around, so I dunno if I could handle that......

Actually, if I could take ANYONE in from the "good" side, I would take Aftran (in a non-whale form, preferably. I don't think her nothlit form would fit in my house). I can imagine some awesome conversations coming from that arrangement.

Also, welcome to the forum, Red! Why don't you head over to the Introductions & Departures thread to introduce yourself!

She played a meseccary role. I will say that. Although the way her character was played out turned me off.

I'd take "Nice" Rachel if possible. "Rachel" rachel would morph to grizzly the instant I look at her. :))

I'd definitely take in the Chee.  No more household chores or homework for me.

Hello Red, and welcome! I just finished a re-read myself, and had many sniffles and teary eyes. 

I think i "could" shelter any of them...though i have to admit i might be a bit leery about a Hork Bajir... it would be probably scare the crap out of my neighbors and turn my furniture to scrap.

That being said, i think the one i would most want to shelter would also have to be Ax. Partially, because it would be hilarious. Ax + two liter of Mountain Dew = awesome. Also, though, i would be fascinated to learn about Andalite culture. The inner nerd would come out and i would pester him about Andalite poetry and history.
"And for years I believed
That what went unsaid between us became empty,
And pure, like starlight, & that it persisted.

I got it all wrong.
I wound up believing in words the way a scientist
Believes in carbon, after death. " --Excerpt from Winter Stars by Larry Levis

Hi, Red!  Welcome to RAF :D

I'd take in Tobias, Aftran, or one of the Chee.  Imagine how great it would be to talk to someone who built the pyramids? *dorky*

well if it was at the time of when i was reading the series, i would have said rachel for obvious reasons... now im thinking one of the chee, they all seemed like pretty interesting characters, and there would be a lot of interesting conversations with someone that has been around that long.
