esse mutiny duo

answering this ask in specific with an actual thought out thing.

esse mutinyduo is very interesting to me considering all that they are. ( toxic. ) wemmbu actually had a fixation on zam during the time the two were teammates. his mini crush developed into a literal fixation that he didn't voice aloud for zam's comfort, aside from the freaky jokes but that's just wemmbu being wemmbu.

wemmbu was fixated on everything in zam. he memorized his speech patterns, his likes, dislikes, everything. wemmbu loved zam. the two were damn near inseparable because wemmbu didn't know how to give the guy alone time. zam didn't mind this by the way. just saying.

when zam decided to be a cunt and get evil, upon taking wemmbu in, he grew fixated on wemmbu's reactions to the drugging & torment. he liked the reactions, he found programming wemmbu to be interesting.

zam pretty much fixated on wemmbu right back, just not the same way wemmbu fixated on zam. he led wemmbu on, watching as he grew desperate for the mini little crush to be returned back, throughout the years. despite everything, wemmbu still loved zam.

zam has wemmbu wrapped around his finger and will continue to have him wrapped around his finger until the day the server comes crashing in on itself and they explode into code

One of my favorite things about the Animorphs rotating pov is how you get to see character development happening so subtly but from so many different angles. One of my favorite examples is with Cassie & Marco’s relationship, from when she left the team to the David Arc (books 19-22), and how it explains so much of their dynamic for the rest of the series.

Marco and Cassie have one of the most interesting dynamics out of the Animorphs because of how often they disagree over conflicts/strategy, but also because of the fact that they usually end up being the de facto strategists of the team (They also both are like, in love with Jake, which also leads to really interesting moments but this isn’t about that). Naturally this puts them at odds with each other often, especially during Book #19. Cassie quits the team and voluntarily infests herself so she doesn’t have to kill Karen, something that Marco doesn’t understand and also is upset about, because now he may have to kill Cassie. After book’s end Cassie makes it back to the team and Aftran begins the peace movement. There’s a lot of threads that contribute to spiral from the book, and Cassie and Marco’s relationship is one of the subtler ones. What’s important to note is that the next book, book #20, is a Marco pov. We get to see his thoughts, and all is not forgiven. He reminisces about the recent Cassie-related events, and says something along the lines of “yeah I’m not really chill with her after the shit she pulled with Aftran.” Which I support Cassie fully, but fair enough! Not only did Cassie voluntarily cause their biggest security breach at the moment, but also he thought he, a 14 year old, was now going to have to kill his friend, another 14 year old. I would be pissed too. (Also this is another great subtle narrative thread leading into the David Arc, which derives its most central tension from this same dilemma)

However the culmination of the Cassie Marco tension comes not from either of their own pov, but from the next book, book 21 which is a Jake pov. The Animorphs all morph bugs to break into a hotel that has a Yeerk conspiracy involved, and they come close to the 2 hour limit. They all morph back successfully except Marco (the weakest morpher) who is stuck as a several foot tall giant grotesque flea. Everyone’s freaking out, but it’s Cassie who’s comes forward, places a hand on Marco, and soothingly guides him through his sheer panic, and into demorphing back to his human self. After Marco breaks down and sobs on Cassie, and Jake even notes he’s never seen Marco cry like that. Which is significant since Jake has known Marco grieving through his mother “dying”. Jake doesn’t note it, because it’s a situation he doesn’t even know about, but in this moment Marco forgives Cassie. Marco never gives her shit for the Aftran situation again, either in his narration or in others. And I love that it’s something that’s not explicitly said by Jake in this book, or Marco or Cassie in later ones, but all of the resolution of that tension between them beautify resolves in a book that’s not either of their povs and doesn’t even explicitly mention it.

Not only is that a knack to Animorphs’ character writing, but it sets the foundation for their relationship going forward. It’s why Cassie still goes to talk to Marco in Book #35 through his issues with his dad remarrying, and he ridicules her a bit but hears her out. And then by series end, when Cassie gives the morphing cube away to the Yeerks, and Jake tells everyone. Is Mr. Marco “ruthless bright line from A to B” pissed at her? No he’s over it and back to being chums with her. Because that’s Cassie his bestie now❤️ And I love that no matter how often they’re at conflict later in the series, after the flea incident it never gets as serious in Marcos narration as it was to him before, in book #20. Animorphs’ character writing amongst multiple povs is just so so soo good.

i love the tiktok trend where people are like makings slideshows w dramatic pictures detailing them fighting for their lives/against professors to pass their classes 😭

50% are genuinely like "need a 43% to pass, studied for 60 hrs, no sleep, 4200 flashcards done, got a 42.4%" and the other 50% are "never showed up to class, put c for every question, but this professor still won't pass me" LIKE????

I've got one that has a why!

You can't have a donkey sleeping in your bathtub after 7 p.m in Arizona.

This law was passed in 1924 after a broken dam washed an Arizonian merchant's bathtub down into a valley while carrying his dozing donkey into troubled waters. Hundreds of people were involved in saving the sleepy, soggy donkey, so the law was signed into action to prevent endangering future bathtub-snoozing donkeys and save everyone a bunch of time and effort.

1920s people were fucking insane. leave that damn donkey alone!!!

[sharpiedoodleee]

once again i just think the intricacies of ryuus admiration of dazai and dazais continued treatment of him- even after “reforming”- should be brought up for more then just a joke
