I thought of die antwoord first, which is surprising and probably not correct but that's my first answer.

I think they're music videos have a lot to do with that, those really helped me lock into their songs.

I definitely like the zef vibe

That's a good point, and Harry's exposure to Ron's family is a huge reason why Harry retained a semblance of morality despite his heroic status.

what sort of wizarding Street smarts are you talking about?

 

Update: Answered in the comments much more thoroughly and succinctly than I can summarize, so head below for some great answers.


She's apparently the warrant officer, which I've seen hypothetical explanations state is the XO, the second in command, but she explicitly states that she is the third officer at the end of the movie, and throughout The movie she is the pilot and she checks the electrician's work and volunteers to go fight the alien first, and also states that she is in command while the others were off the ship.

So was Kane second in command?

And what is a warrant officer?

Thank you

BTW if there is a crazy Aliens expert, I have a few tiny questions that only a crazy fan who literally read everything ever written and watched every interview about the movie might be able to answer.

 

It was a footnote in an article I read about a monkey using blindsight and that there had been several experiments with humans proving blindsight existed and that surprised me. As a footnote.

There have been several experiments that indicate people can see without using their visual cortex.

 

A lot of my regular emails and correspondences with my contacts are getting sent to my spam folder.

I'd rather individually block an address rather than have the spam filter automatically capture emails that I'm not aware of.

 

I remembered tobias' story with the rabbits and totally forgot about his cousin, but

spoilerI very clearly remember the time first reading this book, I sure thought it was weird that she only appeared for brief moments and then left.

I figured I'd use the inside cover since they're so cool compared to the normal covers, especially after we saw those awesome Thai international covers. Did I say the word covers enough? Did I get that covered?

 

Incidentally, it's a pretty great show. I am way more jazzed about watching this fan-made fallout show than I was when I saw the preview for the upcoming netflix show.

I think he really looks like a sociopath in this one.

So long, ya rat!

And there's no way to fix it short of flashing a new rom,as I understand. Just have to deal with the extra step now.

I was not impressed with this phone and they just keep making it less-user friendly.

I mean how the fuck are they justifying not letting you see which devices are connected to your hotspot?

Ri-diks.

Looks like more than a few of us remembered Rachel threatening to kill David's family if he f**** with the animorphs.

Time for everything to hit the fan.

Another innocuous cover image belying a torturously horrific story.

And the foreshadowing

spoilerrealizing that get recklessness and violent tendencies are leading get down a dangerous path.

David's screaming and pleading after being trapped as a rat still lingers in my mind, and it was Cassie's plan the whole time.

Lots of emotional violence and ethical rationalizations.

For such a violent and horrific set of events, this sure is a doofy cover.

David is so devious and selfish and cowardly, boy, that's where evil actsx come from.

David's speech to Jake after he

spoiler"Kills" Tobias is a great bit of villainy. It's really easy to think of him as evil right then .

Marco

spoilernarrowly avoiding being such as a flea is a great scene, with Cassie guiding him back to his human body.

Definitely looks like Marco is morphing a sports bra.

Anyway, David shows up, seems like bad news, and it turns out he is bad news.

Other than Marco seeing David with the box, I remember little about this book, I thought the whole David saga lasted two books, not three.

They really should have had some kind of dark shadow in the background of these three covers to show the looming threat.

 

This was one of the first times I was invested enough in a book where the departure of a member of a group really shocked me.

There were a lot of shocks in this book for me, and with my frustration with Cassie as a hippie getting in the way of the animorphs defeating the evil aliens on my first read through versus my appreciation for Cassie as a primary reason the rest of them weren't dead after the first few missions and an example of the strength and relevance of empathy in every situation, I was pretty horrified

spoiler

When? Cassie ripped out that hork-bajir's throat. And when she decided to leave the animorphs, that made perfect sense to me.

She had committed a brutal act that went so far beyond her personal boundaries that she couldn't be part of the group anymore.

That took me a while to come to terms with.

And then things get really terrifying when Cassie makes friends with a yeerk and makes a series of decisions that viscerally upset me to this day.
