"I doubt any male would find this offensive."

nobody said they would.

"Call em males, they are afterall. "

go ahead, next time you see ir are talking about a man or men , say "hey, male" or "males like to..." see how they respond to what has become a derogatory, sexualized term for a person in casual conversation.

the demeaning objectification is why insecure men say "female" and men are not addressed as "males".

He is a rapist.

"the squid, measuring about one foot in length"

yes, still cool, but guys.....guys....

[–] Varyk 8 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

he's right.

China has invested a ton of money and diplomatic efforts in Southeast Asia for the past 5 years, and for the next four all Xi has to do is point at Rump to negotiate closer ties.

China is the safer economic and defense partner at least until rump is gone, and probably for much longer.

I used to find them at secondhand shops, and I also reused the ones I got from the store.

if you have a pressure cooker you can sterilize them, and the lids aren't going to fail right away.

that said, i eventually did just buy a case of new jars because I wanted the right jars for the job and uniform materials.

what the AI shit, wasn't this posted a few hours ago also?

why irritate and drive people away from maybe the most important political movement in the US in decades?

[–] Varyk 3 points 3 weeks ago

[–] Varyk 4 points 3 weeks ago

[–] Varyk 7 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

I cannot remember the first time I read this series, but I can't imagine thinking anything other than "ah, The power of friendship!"

Which upon this reread is hilarious given how clearly the authors wanted to portray a gay couple in 2000, which wasn't done often in a series fronted by a major publisher.

spoiler

This time, I was like "oh right, the andalites living together, and then I was inundated with the hunts of gardening, super fitness, pink furniture, shunned by society, debilitating incurable illness, cared for by "best friend", androgynes, and especially the poetic language of how the became friends, they were both pilots and their wings tangled together and they crashed to the ground together.

Pretty awesome that when so other few authors were willing to have gay characters, especially in a young adults series, ka and grant went full bore and even named this title "the other".

I always thought the "Marco" being bi what sort of and unsupported gimme afterthought, but they already had an unmistakably gay couple having badass adventures.

I wonder if they made them both pilots because of top gun?

And this title is not merely a showcase of queer culture, the story is as developed and well told as any of the other books, and of course more so than some of them.

I find the thought-speak across great distances very interesting, how visser 3 doesn't want anything to do with either of them because of andalite culture treating difference as an embarrassment, and also how ax is very openly hostile toward both of them.

It's another good book!

It is very creepy when the ant begins turning Cassie, but it's downright horrifying when the Buffalo begins to learn how to speak while it's morphed into chapman.

That is so yikes that it makes perfect sense. They have to fry him at the end.

Yikes.

They really get at some horror here.

Ax gets a big ol' crush on

spoilerA genocidal sort of asshole.

Still, the heart wants what it wants.

This is a great book, testing ax's loyalty again.

A very good example of people insisting they're doing some necessary thing for the greater good by becoming the thing they're fighting against.

The characters and their Dynamics were very interesting in this book, non-stop action.

 

And the tiny desk concert after you watch this video and you're like oh my God they're f****** amazing.

I remember this book because as soon as you realize that Jake is gone, you're like oh shit.

Wow! This book is really good, dealing with leadership and Marco's criticisms and how poorly Rachel deals with the leadership she thought she wanted,

spoilerand then the absolutely batshit insane plan at the end that foreshadows Rachel's final act.

I also never understood why the garatron looks so much like an andalite.

Are they just like hey isn't evolution weird? This one thing looks like another thing but they're not the same thing.

I don't get why that was so important.

Also, I was so glad that Jake spoke with Rachel shortly at the end of the book. Perfect ending.

Since I learned the word estreen, the andalite word for an extremely talented morpher, I searched for fanart based on that and found some interesting stuff.

Beautifully colored, is this oil painting?

Artist is artbyLars

Update: Estreen! That's the word. Found it!

An exceptionally talented morpher is an estreen! I knew there was a word for it.


I can't find the word.

Isn't there a specific andalite word for how good Cassie is at morphing?

I feel like that game literally changed my life in the 2 hours or whatever it took me to play it.

That game is so beautiful. It made me a better person.

I was absolutely entranced.

Thanks. it's fine if nobody knows the answer to this or has not seen the movie, it's not a very good movie.
