Animorphs notes 50
Book 50
In the final count down
We start with a fucking Cassie book.
Who is scraping their slave’s blades together in the middle of a fight?
Who decided to start haveing hork bodies make a weird pretty much impossible noise given the fucking placement of their blades. 
Also still no distinction b/w enslaved people and the people controlling them
… Cassie’s skin… is already brown… ya know what? I don’t care, I’ve already revoked her Black card for a while now
So this was an exercise. One that Cassie failed.
Also since when was Toby’s speech ‘guttural’?
Also just doubling down on this staying put for siege warfare nonsense from 47 huh?
Imagine if yall decided to break this shit to yer families b4 u were forced to do so
Well at least they have a new camp and didn’t inside on staying in the old one. It’s a start
Hell yeah hork-bajir construction and engineering prowess
If Jake really gave a damn about the saftey of his parents he’d have fucking made a second attempt to rescue his brother
He should blame himself
I mean I’ve mostly ignored Tobias but this whole wild hawk thing reads like an extended suicide attempt that the universe just won’t take him up on
hammers i get axes and saws? Why? horks... are axes and saws
Cassie's mom needs to not be specist
also of course the parents aren't allowed to have any competence. they are damseles who can't fight and need to be babysat by horks. also! the animorphs never consider giving their parents morphing just incase to protect themselves. Except for Loren but there’s lot to unpack there and I’d rather just throw out the suitcase
also why the fuck would Cassie's mom, a fucking veterinarian not understand that people could die? Vets have to deal with death and injury and unpleasant shit. Ya know the realities of nature and chance and the horrible things that happen to animals and what people can do to animals
but that would mean actually making the parents characters and not just devices to show how much the Animorphs have 'grown' and how people who'bve never been to war can't possibly understand it
I’ve not forgotten Marco deliberately leaving his stepmom to be enslaved b/c he likes his first mom better
Also the Animorphs are def falling apart
i wish the parents were allowed to act like actual people
When I say the ableist shit in Animorphs I don’t just mean the shit with the physically disabled characters
Rachel didn’t touch them? At no point in that segment did she touch her mom. This is book 34 all over again when the writer changing events a paragraph apart. My kingdom for a fucking editor
Ah it just seemed like she was talking to Rachel and not the horks. I will not delete my previous point
and the series had been trying to make a point of painting Rachel as needlessly violient and dangerous for a good while now it just felt like something the writers would do
*Note: I don’t actually put my full conversations with Ach in these
Cassie yer the last person who can be calling people cowards
A functional team leader would know the second in command just incase anything happened
Tobias seems to be hanging out in human shape more
The hork-bajir are getting on just fine Cassie and would be great without yall
… I’m just gonna assume that Toomin took all the parents brains b/c them being functional would get in the way of his plans
I’m just gonna start skipping shit b/c thsi is very poorly written
Is this implying that Toby has an underbite?
Just assuming that the yeerk resistance has been crushed or can’t help
All the animorphs are speciest as fuck and deserve to fucking lose this fight
“So it has to be people” I hate these kids i hate these kids i hate these kids
Writers: Purposely makes the adults behave with no sense or realism at all
Writers: Are to uncreative to use the hork-bajir Writers: Guess the only solution is to throw more kids at the meat grinder and let's sprinkle in some ableism
The yeerks have very advanced prosthetics/medical technology and a body is a body you ableist hacks
...The yeerks would know that morphing heals people you cunts VISSER 3 FUCKING EXISTS\
Pointing out yer inconsistencies doesn’t make it better
I don’t  give a shit about yer romo worries
You’d think these fuckers would wear a different face than their own but that ould imply they can think
Part of me just loves the ‘fuck off’ energy that girls have for Marco. 
More ableism. There was no rudeness on the part of the stuttering boy or the girls expecting the Animorphs to fucking stick around and wait for what he had to say
I like James
James and friends are a good.
Like it feels like an entirely different actually competent writer showed up for a few scenes
Annnnd now we’re back to shit. Collette you and yours did nothing wrong or dude
Kelly has exactly the right attitude. And Timmy’s probably the only asian person outside of Allison Kim in this whole fucking series.
hell yeah James kick his ass!
I wanna see Kelly kick their asses too! Cassie is racist against romani people
honestly I would have prefered it if James didn't give a shit about Jake turning into a tiger. something like, "That ain't gonna help you beat me jackass"
listen take it to the ultimate level, mount some dracon beams to his chair and just have him fucking go at the yeerk forces and kick their asses
Call their asses out James
Not everyone is willing or able to put their lives on the line and that’s fine. Not everyone is a warrior or willing to throw away their lives. There’s more roles in a war than just fighting
Oh who coulda guessed that the important one would be healed by morphing
i am not well versed enough in disability issues to rip that apart but i know enough that it should be shredded
You had several fucking choices that you decided not to go with b/c the writers are hacks
Huh neat the yeerks predicted them and attacked
Nice. I love some competence. The unnammed yeerk leads the capture of the majority of teh Animorphs
Kelly's battle morph is a fucking walrus! that's awsome
Everyone’s competence has flushed into the void
booo Kelly has a perfictly good walrus
Tobias isn’t morphed oh forget it
One of the yeerk resistence actually did something!
Thanks Cassie! You’ve fucked over yer side and will have much more blood on yer hands. 
Also Jake continues to not give a singular shit about rescuing his brother
And that ends the book
