Rachel was stomping the ground back down, trying to flatten it out so it wouldn’t look strange. “Jake?” I said. “Let’s not do this again any time soon.” He nodded shakily. “One day I’m a lobster. Then I’m an ant. I figure the next step down the evolutionary ladder is a virus or something. And I just want to say right now, I’m not doing it. I am not going to become phlegm, even to save the world.” It wasn’t much of a joke, but there was a kind of lame little laugh from everyone. And Rachel stopped stomping the ants - I mean, the ground. (#5: The Predator)

It's unreliable narrator hours with ya boy Marco

#what makes me truly unhinged about Marco is that like yeah he's a liar and a dickhead #but usually he's lying or being a dick to indirectly benefit somebody else #he's a lying asshole STRATEGICALLY #like why does he care if we know that Rachel was stomping the ants?#he cares because he knows SHE cares about how she's perceived #so he doesn't name her bloodthirsty revenge panic meltdown for what it is; instead he creates an alibi for it #sidenote: I have so many feelings about Marco & Rachel's relationship that I can't even begin to untangle #they look out for and rely on each other constantly but neither of them can admit that's what they're doing #UNHINGED I TELL YOU #animorphs #marco animorphs
