Don't call me prince

shoutout to Jake Animorphs for being kinda uninteresting for like forty books and then hitting you so hard when he fully snaps and steps into his role as a hardened military leader at the age of sixteen

and then suddenly that sweet, stressed-out kid is just gone. he only exists to win wars anymore. it makes you realize too late what was lost

no piece of media has ever managed to make me feel like i was in a different time period quite as strongly as animorphs book 16, where they infiltrate aol and spend the entire time spouting computer lingo nobody has spoken aloud in the past decade and a half. the book opens with marco bragging about his top-of-the-line modem, with a whole 56,000 bits per second, and really that just sets the tone for the entire adventure.

RIP Rachel Berenson you would have loved Legally Blonde

I'm always saying this.

tbh the fact that cats purr was an unnecessary bonus we don't always acknowledge. they're already cute and baby and little and soft and make silly noises and do funny shit. but they also like to cuddle and make a soothing pleasant noise to indicate they are happy when they cuddle you? huge. huge for the human race.

and you cant spell infant without ant!

No! That is Elfangor! He would not say that!

then whyd he give five preteens morphing powers? 🤔 check and mate

Because the Ellimist is a manipulative meanie who set things up to go that way :P

So true. at the end of the day we should be blaming gamers

do you think alloran ever saw esplin as his penance? alloran, the disgraced war-prince, now granted the dishonor of being the only andalite lost to the yeerks. alloran, the butcher of the hork-bajir, now cursed to have his face become synonymous with the most ruthless force in the galaxy. alloran, whose reputation is second only to prince seerow himself, now separated from his wife and children for more than thirty years. do you think alloran, a prisoner in his own head, ever thought "this is what i deserve?"

I did something bad / maybe I was wrong / sometimes people say that I’m a big time bomb

"you finally go on prozac?" this is the funniest thing Marco ever said. you can just cut out all his other jokes and just leave me with this one and it's enough

Student: Alright, and Marco, do you want to write the section about the conservation of mass?

Marco: *thousand yard stare*

Marco: ... No. I can't. I know too much...

you think YOUR adolescence was hard? try being in the middle of your balance beam routine at a gymnastics exhibition in the mall & then a hawk flies in & everybody is freaking out because there's a hawk in the mall but you're the only one who knows it's your friend tobias who's on a suicidal rampage because he just killed a rat & it made him viscerally aware that he'll never again be human. THEN come talk to me.
