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.

Day 258 of 365-Tuesday-Here’s What’s Happening

I can’t tell you what I dreamed Monday night because I’m typing this up on Monday morning and I already shared Sunday night’s dream on Monday’s post so here we are with really not much to say so I’ll just describe what’s going on right now because it’s rather magical really. It’s damp and green and foggy this morning and for late autumn it seems extraordinarily lush outside more like spring. The…

Hiroo Isono: Secret of Mana (1993)

Sol I have the burning NEED to know how Cassie feels about A-Town.

[For everyone just tuning in: A-Town is my idea for a shitty postwar sitcom inspired by Jake Berenson's life, much to Jake Berenson's disgust.]

So there's two related questions here: How does Cassie actually feel about the show, and how does the public think Cassie feels about the show? Because Jake is the only Animorph stupid enough to give the press his real unfiltered reaction.

Rachel tells blatant, unconvincing lies about liking A-Town every time she's asked, citing nonexistent plots as being her favorites. Marco cites it as "truly one of the shows of our time" and "containing several episodes that were certainly filmed". Jake has zero grasp of the subtleties of the media landscape, which is why Jake can always be counted on to launch into an hour-long rant about how offensive and disrespectful it is when asked.

Tobias will simply demorph and fly away if an interviewer brings it up. If they persist in asking after the first time, he'll pause to barf up a chipmunk skeleton on their desk before he goes. Ax seems completely unaware that the events of A-Town could in any way be inspired by the events of the Yeerk-Human War, and continues to appear blissfully ignorant even after several attempts to disillusion him. Whether he's faking it, playing his usual games with verbal irony, or just deep in denial is anyone's guess.

Anyway, I imagine attempts to ask Cassie about A-Town go something like:

Interviewer: So. A-Town. Have you seen it?

Cassie: Yes, and my opinion on A-Town is related to PETA's use of shock tactics to advance what they claim is a pro-animal-welfare cause, but in reality is just the front for a for-profit company that actively harms the cause of real animal-welfare organizations like the SPCA and the WWF.

Interviewer: Where is this going?

Cassie: You see, Barry, when PETA falsely presents animals as having the same needs as humans, they encourage dangerous myths of predation as inherently harmful when in reality —

Interviewer: Okay, okay, what does this have to do with A-Town?

Cassie: Oh, I've forgotten what the connection was. But to know how I feel about A-Town, I recommend going to the World Wildlife Federation's donation page —

Interviewer: And let's go to Melinda with the weather!

Day 279 of 365-Thursday-My Spirit World

I love love love this time of year. It’s my most favorite time of year! I feel so happy to see the shadows changing and the way the light dances across my work table. I love the leafs on the trees looking as though they’ve been touched by a giant paint brush dipped into the most vibrant jewel tone colors. I love the way the trees shake their perfectly painted leafs off after we’ve had time to…
