Something about Cassie that's never really brought in either the books or analysis? She UNDERSTANDS the Yeerks better than any of the other Animorphs. She knows their ideals, she's met Yeerks she sympathizes with, she has a Yeerk morph. And it has both.a good and bad effect on her. Because she probably sympathisez with them more than she probably should, but she also understands the Yeerks better than the other Animorphs. It's why she tried just contacting the Peace Movement when they tried to bomb the Yeerk pool, why she let the Yeerks take the morphing cube etc. She knows the enemies way of thinking better than anyone else.

That's it exactly. Being able to understand your enemy's individual nuances, being able to understand why they want what they want... that's not a blessing. Because it makes it damned hard to fight the war, even one that desperately needs fighting.

Cassie has to save the Earth. She knows that the only way to prevent the extinction of bees and horses and redwoods and dandelions is to stop the yeerks before they can wipe out every Earth species except for humans. But she knows, too, why yeerks are doing this. Why the Council of Thirteen thinks they have no choice but to raze Earth, why individual yeerks both sympathize with their hosts and yet keep on kidnapping more. That paradox can't be resolved — either the yeerks get as many eyes and hands as andalites have, or Earth continues existing. Both can't occur, and there is no solution where no one gets hurt. There's not even a solution that's just or fair.

I had a dream that a bunch of people were making jokes about how the economy was so bad that gay people couldn't afford closets and were just "in the corner"

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

if i was a popular minecraft youtuber id just tweet "hey guys stop drawing shipping fanart of me and my friends/coworkers, i only fucked one of them and seeing me paired with anyone else is kinda weird and crosses my boundaries" and then i'd turn my phone off

please please please remember that no matter what your manager says, it is never that serious. unless you are literally performing surgery or defusing a bomb, it simply is not that serious
