Anonymous asked: They named the dolphins after Friends!
Not gonna lie, my exposure to these books VASTLY predated any exposure I had to…pop culture in general, so rereading them is always an adventure full of “oh wow that’s totally a reference that I Did Not Get” and let me tell you a thing, the Friends reference was…a latecomer even by those standards. I think I was 18 by the time I realized that.
“I’m in,” Marco said instantly.A split second behind him, Rachel said her usual “I’m in."Everyone stared openmouthed at Marco."Just once I wanted to beat Rachel to it,” he explained. WOw. This is Iconic.
THIS LINE. IN PARTICULAR. IS MY JAM.
*inhales deeply* Oh god, I’ve adopted the alien boy. I will love him. I will protect him. I will care for him
Anonymous asked: Wait, how the hell did Visser Three not realise they were humans when they fell out?
I think you may be ascribing an unreasonable level of pragmatism to our good buddy V3. Dude definitely spent his time hopping around and threatening murder of his underlings and yelling on broadband thoughtspeak about having lost the Andalite Bandits rather than. Like. Trying to get a look at anything that might be falling out of the truck ship.
Visser 3 was promoted because he makes a really stellar battering ram, okay, not for any particular tactical genius. Like, he has his moments, but. Let’s just be clear. Once you meet his boss it becomes VERY clear that he’s not here for his strategic talents.
A VCR…. Wtf
Reminder that these books can be VERY 90′s, bless them.
