not sure if im alone on this but the taglines in animorphs always kinda pissed me off?? like how is "make a change for the better" representative of The Reunion? could they /really/ not think of any sort of vaguely-robot-related tagline for The Android? Yes, the actual titles range from completely random (I believe The Warning falls in that category iirc?) to "only makes sense in retrospect" (The Forgotten), but the taglines are straight-up just random sayings about change 50% of the time

Oh yeah, I am with you as part of the large, large contingent of Animorphs fans who find the covers super frustrating:

Like you said, the punny taglines tend to have little to do with the book itself, and are often jarringly wrong in tone (#3 is "Now you see them, now you don't"; #14 is "Never underestimate the power of a morph.")

The summaries are often spoiler-ific (#19) or focused completely differently from the book itself (#23).

Nobody likes the phrase "the other Animorphs and Ax." David (David!) also gets described as "the sixth Animorph" when Ax has already been there for 15 friggin' books.

Jake and Rachel's cover models are fine, but the other four don't match the books' descriptions of the characters that well.

Visser stars Visser One but has Visser Three on the cover. There are several other instances of especially the inside covers not matching the scenes in the books where those morphs appear.

However, those problems can probably be blamed ~95% on the speed at which the books were being published. I've speculated that those summaries may have even been put together by people who had never read the book in question. Not due to laziness, but just because the book itself didn't exist at the time when they had to hastily throw a cover together.

So imagine you're some Scholastic intern who's gotta put that cover together, and you don't know anything about a book except maybe a one-sentence summary. ("A girl named Cassie and her team the Animorphs — four fellow humans named Tobias, Rachel, Jake, and Marco; along with a blue alien named Ax — transform into horses to infiltrate a military base to prevent alien invaders from putting evil slugs into the brains of the leaders.") Honestly, given those constraints, it's nearly miraculous that the covers turned out as good as they did. And it is understandable that the word "Animorph" got mistranslated as "human who morphs" rather than "member of this team of kids who fight yeerks." Hence "the other Animorphs and Ax" and "David, the sixth Animorph."

It is still frustrating that the covers are so misaligned with the books, because we do know that people judge those books by their covers and that that's been a major barrier in the attempted revival of the series. (To say nothing of all the semi-racist memes.) But the characters' names are spelled right, the body horror of the series is accurately advertised, Cassie and Marco have cover models of the right ethnicities, and details like andalites having 6+ fingers per hand miraculously come through. I'll take what I can get.

What amount of money would you feasibly need to get out of there with Sammy and move in with a friend or far away family?

Honestly i have no idea, and to move in with someone who've ive never met in person in such a rush seems so dangerous to do, especially considering all my ailments, my income (lack of, anyway) and no owned or insured transportation so i can leave if i need to and things don't work out

I do have a very close person i love dearly in another state wanting me to move there, but again, i can't dive in head first, that's reckless. I need to make sure that we get along in person like we do on the phone in a short trial run, and the money i need to save for that could be upwards of 300 dollars if I take a bus (cause im not sure how my heart would fair via airplanes, and i've never travelled anywhere alone before, especially states away)

Im rambling I know, im sorry, im just as lost and confused as y'all are on what I need to get out, im organizing and applying for jobs in the meantime, Im being cautious due to many reasons, and as slow as that may seem in a dire situation, I can't risk any faults in escaping and need to try every safe avenue i can so that i don't risk sammys health and safety as well as mine (and my friends)

all over the place in this post i know, im low on sleep but wired on low caffeine diet soda (as a treat, my heart can handle that i promise <3 )

-Mommabean

(FYI i have no IRL friends in my state, and the only family i could turn too has zero room for me as they have a two bedroom house with five people, and one who is always very sick. I can't in good conscience put stress on them like that >~< )

(I hope i don't sound dumb or mean, im not mad im just kinda hyper)

"Fernando's too old he needs to retire" you just dont get him like i do.

Fernando Alonso who was the youngest ever race winner in 2003. after that win he said "im 22 years old and i have my first victory in (my) pocket so i hope (for) a long career here in formula 1 with more victories"

Fernando Alonso who won his FIRST world championship in 2005 he broke MICHAEL SCHUMACHERS 5 year long winning streak after being in formula one for 4 years. His whole F1 career at that point had been solely dominated by Schumi.

Fernando Alonso who's a 2 time world champion and has been racing longer than Oscar has been alive and has been in more scandals than races

Fernando Alonso who said he knew Michael Schumacher would step on the brakes because he had a wife and kids at home and FERNANDO DIDN'T.

Fernando Alonso who is one of 15 Spanish F1 drivers ever.

Fernando Alonso who is the only Spanish F1 driver to win a WDC (and not just one, TWO.)

Fernando Alonso who's been in 385 gp's (3x as many as Pedo De La Rosa)

Fernando Alonso who's scored 2,298 points in his career (67% of the total F1 points scored by all Spanish drivers)

Fernando Alonso who's not only raced in F1, but also Indy, 24 hours of Le Mans, and the World Endurance Championship.

Fernando Alonso who drove his first go-kart at 3 YEARS OLD.

Fernando Alonso who's family didn't have enough money to buy wet tyres so he had to TEACH HIMSELF to drive on a wet track on slick tyres.

Fernando Alonso who's mother made his racing clothes herself because they didn't have enough money.

Fernando Alonso who won his first karting race at SEVEN. (Daniel Ricciardo, Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton, Yuki Tsunoda, and more drivers on the grid weren't even in karts at seven.)

Fernando Alonso who's managed to stay as passionate (if not more) about F1 in his 23 year career no matter his performance.
