One thing I find so interesting is how in book 19, Cassie’s reckoning comes at the realization she may have leaped after Jake said to back off. When she had permission, she didn’t feel responsibility.

I mean, that's Jake's whole dang role on the team, isn't it? As Marco puts it "No votes. Jake decides. Then if it goes bad, we can all blame him" (#25). As with every Marco line ever, he's both joking and... not. Throw in all the times he sarcastically calls Jake "Dad", as a way of calling out someone else for treating Jake like a dad, and it's clear Marco gets it.

That is the point of Jake. He gives the order, and thus neither Ax (who pulled the lever) nor Marco (who made the call) has the blood of 17,000 yeerks on their hands. It's only Jake's crime. Jake gave the order, and so not only can Cassie (in #50) and Rachel (in #47) blame him for David, but he can go ahead and blame himself (#41). Jake gave the order, and so Ax did not actually run from battle (#26). Jake gave the order, and so Marco did not actually let his mom die (#30).

He's their water-carrier, their scapegoat. He doesn't want to be, but someone has to do it.

#animorphs #jake berenson #tiger mommy #violence #like contrast how ax feels about his attempted mass murder in 46 (horribly guilty) vs. his actual one in 53 (just following orders)#marco's ''yeah. now what DAD?'' in response to cassie asking jake what to do in 25 is one of my obscure favorite lines ever #and okay i can't come up with a single instance of jake telling tobias to do shit and tobias actually doing it #but that's those two for you

what's up tiger mommy is literally the perfect episode 2 me btw. it has everything. mrs tran being ten times cooler than her lameass ap statistics prophet of the lord son, pagan god shenanigans, a weird angel guy in a fast food employee uniform, crowley being both the main villain and the comic relief while outsmarting everyone and flirting with dean, sam wielding mjolnir for 5 seconds and it never gets brought up again, destiel purgatory flashbacks, crowley owns the moon and the real mona lisa where she's topless I Guess, 'too much heart was always castiel's problem' what a good episode

You think a man named Buzz gets to go into space without making a deal?

@thecascast mentioned that this throw away line does in fact mean that Crowley and Buzz Aldrin kissed and that image has been stuck in my head since so... thanks? maybe?

ID: Digital drawing of Crowley from Supernatural kissing Buzz Aldrin on a clear night with a full moon behind Buzz's head. They are in profiles, with Crowley's head tilted up and Buzz's arm around his shoulders. Crowley's eyes are open and red, and there is red smoke over the drawing. End ID.

"[jake] following the little rules so that no one notices you breaking the big ones." This might be a silly question but are you able to elaborate / give examples? I'm having trouble recalling this as a thing that happens, probably just because it's a concept that's never been on my radar when i've read the series.

One example that always stands out to me is how Jake introduces himself to the American military in #53:

"General Doubleday," I said. "My name is Jake." Three big, burly MP's were on me before I could yell. They knocked me onto my back, twisted me over on my face, and slapped handcuffs on me... "No, sir, I'm not," I grated with my cheek pressed hard onto a pencil and a crumpled map. "But chances are some of the people in this room are." ...I sighed. The MP's hustled me from the room, down a hallway to a bare, overlit room furnished with a chair and a sink and a cot and a steel door with a feeding slot in it. They threw me in, not at all gently. I was a prisoner. Three minutes later, I demorphed in front of General Doubleday again.

Just... the fact that Jake takes the time to learn the Sam Doubleday's name, and title, and then uses that or "sir" every time he addresses him. The way that he lets himself get dragged away three times, each time politely waiting to be tossed into a cell before he morphs back to dragonfly and heads back to the war room. And this is how Jake infiltrates the USAF to perform a military coup: he asks nicely, and doesn't take "no" for an answer.

We see Jake being careful to learn and use military titles in #46, in #18 and #52. It's also "Aunt Naomi" while he's asking her nicely to remain calm as he kidnaps her and her daughters (#49). It's "Commander Gonrod" while he's taking command away from Gonrod by force (#38). So on. Part of the reason he rejects titles is that he respects titles.

Same goes for how Jake, more than any of the others, moves missions so he can make family obligations (#11, #13, #27), remembers birthdays (MM1), compliments his parents' cooking (#16, #31), and cares more about hurting their feelings than getting in trouble (#4, #47). He tears his family apart in the end, but along the way he's almost never late for dinner.

And, if I can be more controversial: we see the same principle in how the Animorphs make decisions. Tobias notes it the most (because of course) but there are several times when Jake calling a vote or waiting for volunteers is more of a formality than anything: "Jake made a face I see too often... He hadn't wanted to single me out, make me go on what might be a suicidal mission. He'd waited till I could volunteer" (#33). Or "I didn't want to have to sit down and explain it all to them... Jake would wait and listen calmly, and would judge... I didn't want them to decide what I felt" (#23). Jake calls for votes on most decisions — but Jake always casts a vote, often first. And Jake knows that Marco and often Rachel support him no matter what, and he knows that Ax will abstain. So whatever Jake wants is usually how the vote ends up going, and that's not a coincidence. He's asking for input from the others, that much is real, but he's not likely to be talked out of making up his mind.

i always think damian loves and resents talia simultaneously. like talia loves damian and she tried her best to show damian her love in her own way. she trained him, spent time teaching him this and that. she did what she thought was the best for him but sometimes being a parent means your best is just not enough.

and of course damian is aware of that. he used to think what talia gave him was the best too, that he didn’t need a normal childhood if that means he didn’t get to be as competent as he is right now. but in some moments when he catches himself so desperate for approval and acceptance that he almost acts on the thoughts he won’t be proud of, or jerks awake in the middle of the night, hand reaching for the blade under his pillow, he will resent talia’s great love and even greater expectation a little bit.

but when damian calls her and he hears her voice, calm and clear and just a touch more tender, he longs for the calluses on her fingers. talia asks about his training, school and friends, giving him her thoughts and insights, and damian finds himself love his mother all over again.

headcanon

talia is the first person to teach damian not to trust any physical contact, but she’s also the first person ever to hold little damian in her arms, rocking him and soothing him, kissing his cheeks and running her fingers through his hair. it kinda left baby damian a bit confused, like did his mama love him or not? so he voiced his doubt to talia one day and talia kind of… freaked out, and she spent the next few days explaining physical contact in different contexts to her baby tiger and set up some codes for “training time” and “cuddling time” so damian wouldn’t be sad and confused.

A lot of the times when I’m small, or maybe just daydreaming, I want a specific experience.

It’s anywhere between 2011-2019 and I’m on a haven holiday. I’m small, I’m a little girl again and I’m running to the clubhouse while the mother that I never had carries my Rory the tiger themed scooter over her shoulder, trailing behind me as the cool summer breeze glides through her hair, bringing a smile to her face.

She’s dressed me in the sweetest little dungarees and t-shirt with Velcro trainers, my hair is curled and a sugar dummy hangs loosely around my neck. As we enter the entertainment complex the smell of popcorn and the sound of happy holidaymakers overwhelms me, I feel the need to stay close by my mummy, she doesn’t mind. We grab seats near the dance-floor and I sit on her knee, observing the kids disco from afar. I sway to the music in excitement, ocassionally pointing out the multi-coloured lights gliding across the area. It’s time for Rory soon, my heart pounds and excitement courses through my body.

I am in awe as a funstar announces that it’s showtime and the squad take to the stage. Everyone is there, I can see Polly and Ned, anxious and Bradley, greedy the gorilla, and my favorite: rory the tiger, my hero. My mother takes my tiny hands, helping me clap along to the song, smiling and kissing my hair.

After the show, there’s a photo opportunity. I make sure that I’m the first in the queue, but when it’s my time to meet the characters I can’t help but nestle my face into my mamas side. She lifts me up and rests me on her hip, carrying me over to the funstar and handing them her phone. My eyes focus on Rory as I’m placed on his knee, and as he reaches out for high-fives and cuddles I begin to laugh, I smile wide and the camera clicks.

The rest of the night is filled with dancing, sugary treats, light-up toys from the wonder shop and pure joy. Eventually, my little legs are too tired and I start to feel grumpy��. As if by magic, my mama scoops me up and grabs her handbag, walking outside and crooning comforting words to me. The birds fly over the horizon and all is calm, the lake is still, the arcade is quiet, and the sounds of the tiger club fade away as I am carried back to my caravan.

Tomorrow is another day, I drift to sleep as I rest my head on mums shoulder, absolutely weightless.

For once I feel as if everything is okay.
