Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

Anonymous asked: It's little moments like the elevator scene that I remember these guys are teenagers :) and that they will have to live with the trauma of basically being the front line soldiers in an intergalactic war at the age of 13. I'm really liking these books,

I honestly love the weird little moments of party banter where the kids all stand around and talk about whether they’ve seen any good movies lately or anything, because you’re SO RIGHT, they’re babies and it’s so clear in those moments.  These poor tiny teens, someone get them a therapist.  And then get that therapist a therapist.  Honestly this is just a spiraling fractal line of therapists hearing terrible trauma.

Wait

….

They won! Holy smokes THEY ACTUALLY WON A BATTLE! THERE WAS A LITTLE DISMEMBERMENT BUT THEY WON!!!

I’M SO PROUD OF MY KIDS.  I’M SO PROUD OF THEM.  THEY WON.  MY KIDS.  AND THEY ONLY GOT A LITTLE BIT DISMEMBERED.  HERE IS MORE YELLING ABOUT MY KIDS IN THIS BOOK.

Anonymous asked: Yes to your Jake headcanon. 'Big Jake' to me always meant that he was broad shouldered and tall and just solid (which means Tom was probably even taller if he called him midget but that could have also been a big brother teasing thing). No offense to anyone if they want to headcanon Jake as being chubby, but that's not how I interepreted his nickname at all.

I have read some EXCELLENT chubby Jake headcanons and I’m here for it, tbqh, but yeah, IDK I knew a lot of just…really big dudes when I was younger, the gentle giant types who seem kind of bemused by being the size of a fridge.  And Jake always struck me as the type of guy who seems kind of bemused about being so tall.  Also, who else is with me that Tom used to call Jake midget because Jake was shorter than him as a kid and then Tom got infested with a Yeerk and the Yeerk never changed the nickname even though by the end of the war Jake is three inches taller than his big brother.  Obviously in an AU where Everything Is Okay this means that Tom calls Jake midget as like an ongoing family inside joke that makes people very confused because Jake is Tall.

Anonymous asked: "Not fat–he’s an athlete" just an fyi that you can be fat and be an athlete :)

You’re absolutely correct, and that was an error in phrasing on my part.  I have no idea when I wrote that post but I was probably having a pre-MCAT anxiety fit and therefore pretty fuzzy, mentally speaking, because that’s basically been my last month.  My apologies, and thanks for how polite your message is.

Animorphs must be the only work of fiction that explains why the aliens only attack America

They specifically only attack one town, and that’s both because the first invaders were fooled by Hollywood then spent years doing drugs there, and explicitly because it’s a good neighborhood to raise kids in.

It all makes sense in context honestly

Usually Bones is so casual when he’s off duty that people on board can forget that he knows all their personal information. Not that he’d ever misuse it. But one night everyone was very drunk, amd Jim was insisting that Bones couldn’t possibly remember who on board has an appendix. So everyone lined up and Bones walked down the aisle. Yes. Yes. No. No. Yes. Yes. No. Yes. No. No. No. You’re species doesn’t have one. Yes. Yes.
100% correct.

This might be my new favorite headcanon.

^^accepted lolol

“And you, your liver’s funny lookin’.”

“And you’re missing 3 cm’s of duodenum.”

“Two plates in the left femur.”

“Regenerated kidneys.”

“And if I ever have to see the inside of your peritoneum again, Riley, I’m gonna hand in my papers.” 

I’m cackling so hard at the last one!

Everyone has something anatomically or medically weird with them, and some are more obvious than others.

I can see him making his way down the line:

“Horseshoe kidney.”

“Perforated left tympanum at the age of seven.”

“Missing the nail on your right hallux because it just would not stop ingrowing.”

“Your species’ resting BP is 200/130.”

#it definitely turns into a drinking game #take a shot every time a crew member mccoy saved from dying walks by them #‘oh I performed an emergency appendectomy on that guy’ #‘that girl almost bled out but my ~magic hands~ saved the day’ #‘I had my hands literally inside that person’s chest’ #mccoy looks at jim for five long seconds and then chugs the bottle #jim says he gets the point okay please stop bones you’re gonna get alcohol poisoning
