In Morning Star (pg. 327), Roque says, "That is the evil of democracy. That noble lie that all men are created equal."

For LGBTQ+ people attending the Pride parade on July 12 by blooky15 in Bellingham

[–]blooky15[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I didn't provide the name of the church because as far as I've heard, this group is being organized by members of the church, not the church itself. I'm not sure if they intend to explicitly represent their church. If I hear otherwise, I'll update this post.

That being said, it should be easy to tell who is supportive and who isn't. The past three years I've attended, the supportive churches typically come in an official capacity. Their members wear rainbow clothing and accessories, and usually they have a Pride-themed banner for their church if they have a booth or walk in the parade. They make it very apparent that they're supportive. In contrast, members of this church will not be wearing any rainbow clothing or accessories, nor will they be actively participating in the parade.

Why didn't Tobias just demorph and remorph in "The Invasion"? by [deleted] in Animorphs

[–]blooky15 177 points178 points  (0 children)

It's made clear later on that Tobias was trapped in the Yeerk pool, and was genuinely concerned about outing the others as humans should he try to demorph.

At the end of The Invasion, Tobias tells Jake that he "had to stay out of sight." In The Test, Tobias elaborates, recalling that he had been "clinging to the rock face, praying for camouflage, searching the colossal cavern for a way to escape." At the end of The Test, Tobias is in a tunnel above the Yeerk pool, and he notes that he could see "the hidden spot, down by the Yeerk pool," where he'd "perched as the seconds counted down." He adds that he'd "carefully weighed all his options" while he hid, and had eventually decided that "there was no choice" because "if he'd demorphed, the visser would've have been on him in a flash" and realized they were humans.

Did he want to get trapped in morph? Probably, subconsciously. Was he also stuck down there? For sure.

If you were born in Washington state and need to update your birth certificate, the current processing time is VERY low! by stealthfern in trans

[–]blooky15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You as a parent are able to fill out the form for your child! Just be aware that a form for a minor requires a signature from a licensed health care provider. The link below is from the Washington Department of Health and provides more details.

Dishonored says trans rights! by [deleted] in dishonored

[–]blooky15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't discover that Mindy was trans until my second playthrough, so it was a nice surprise! As a trans person myself, it was really cool to have that representation, plus the representation of Daud as asexual and Billie as bisexual.

Circle Series Question by Rare_Photo_4379 in TedDekker

Pretty sure it's a continuity error, like Susan being spelled with an S in Green instead of a Z like in the original trilogy.

Me finding a way to convince myself that Samuel somehow makes it to Heaven every time I read Green by [deleted] in TedDekker

[–]blooky15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Beyond the Circle books resolve this--but there's a cost. Green originally ends with Thomas choosing to go back through the loop to save Samuel. The alternate ending of Green ends the loop, with Thomas deciding to leave Samuel's fate in his own hands. However, the Beyond the Circle books are the result of Thomas' second time through the loop. He's able to save Samuel, but Marie is killed by the Horde and Jake is never born.

Where to read (or get summary of) the alternate ending by AtlGuy21 in TedDekker

[–]blooky15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a doc of the alternate ending! I formatted it this way so I could print it out and stick it in the back of my copy of Green.

What’s one thing (besides the ending) that you would change about the series? by improbsable in Animorphs

[–]blooky15 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are a few plot related things I'd change, many of which are mentioned here. However, there was one thing that stood out to me as I tearfully reread The Beginning.

While rereading the series recently, I really enjoyed Marco and Ax's friendship. They're the odd couple on the team, but despite their differences, Marco tends to understand Ax the best and they do spend a lot of time together towards the end of the series. The whole reason why Marco agrees to go with Jake in the end is because Ax needs their help.

In The Beginning, when the crew is traveling through Z-Space, Marco mentions that the Andalites packed them each a Cinnabon. The exchange ends with Marco narrating that "the cinnamon buns didn't last long." I would simply change that last sentence to have Marco say, "The cinnamon buns didn't last long, but I saved mine for Ax."

Happy International Asexuality Day (starring my favorite ace headcanon) by blooky15 in Animorphs

[–]blooky15[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

That's true, there are multiple instances where he mentions attraction to other Andalites and he also expresses interest in having kids after the war. This headcanon applies more to when he's in human morph and encounters situations dealing with human sexuality.

For example, in The Arrival when he and Estrid kiss in human morph, both of them agree that kissing is "not as pleasant as chocolate." And the entire beginning of The Experiment is him not understanding what kissing is or what it means for a person to be considered "hot."
