@militeence sent: <if somebody's nice to me, i'll totally fall apart.>

cassie is in the barn, hanging out with ax. they spend a lot of time together, the two of them — it's nice to have company when she's helping give the animals their meds, and she thinks ax likes it, too.

sometimes she ends up staying after she's done with the medication rounds and doing her homework with him, though doing science or math with him around tends to involve a lot of comments about how “wrong” humanity was about these things. she'd learned to ignore them, mostly — she didn't know enough about physics to get into an argument with an alien about them.

cassie closes the cage door of the wounded groundhog and looks at ax for a long moment. “is that why you're always hanging out with me, then? you want to fall apart?” it's supposed to be a joke, but she isn't marco, and it falls flat as it comes out of her mouth. oh well. ax doesn't really get humor, anyway.

cassie knows who she is. she knows that she's easily seen as the kindest and most sensitive of the animorphs. she's quick to cry and quick to emphasize with anyone or anything that crosses her path. she tries not to wonder if they're judging her for it, too.

@resisteence sent: “i just need a good night's sleep. i'll be fine in the morning.”

cassie knows jake well enough to know that he's lying. the bags under his eyes are deep, the kind of thing that just one night of sleep can't fix. she's sure that there are bags under her own eyes that look similar — the david situation has had them all on edge, up and going for much longer than they would normally be.

cassie doesn't see any reason to call jake on his lie, though — who's it hurting if he says just one good night's sleep and he'll be fine? maybe he's not just lying to her, but to himself, too.

“yeah,” she says. “me too.”

tobias has gone back to the meadow; marco demorphed and headed home to have dinner with his father, so it's just the two of them in the barn now. she doesn't want to think about where ax and rachel are right now.

“think there's any chance things will slow down enough for us to get one?”

ik i'm the cassie because i just finished the david trilogy and i can't help but feel so bad for the kid. like yeah was he not careful enough and was he scared? absolutely. but like. i cant stop thinking about how his dad (law enforcement officer) (loaded gun on him in his own house) and the rates of law enforcement officers abusing their families... also i think if david had joined way earlier he would've fit in better... because he's acting a lot like they did in the beginning and if he'd had more time to acclimate/had a home to go back to he might not have gone as bad....

the change.

dialogue prompts from the change: animorphs #13 by k.a. applegate.

i am human. partly.

don't hide stuff from me because you think it'll hurt my feelings, okay?

i can't handle you feeling sorry for me.

you know, how you think of me is sort of important.

are you lost?

have you ever heard the saying, 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'?

it sounds complicated, but you get used to it.

have i ever mentioned that you are extremely cool?

just keep running this same direction. don't stop.

i remember when you were fun.

i was never fun.

it makes me sick when you take risks i can't take.

i would give anything to go in your place.

you can open your eyes now.

i'm not going to be left out. not this time.

humans invent all sorts of things that are not true.

i guess everyone has problems, right?

you heard me? i was trying to be quiet.

it's good to have someone to talk to.

someone or something is using me, and i don't like it very much.

no one is going to use me.

you don't look like a _____ to me.

why stick me with this job?

what am i, some kind of hero?

i have to go for a while.

i don't even know if anyone looked for me.

what the heck is happening?

oh, man, am i glad to hear your voice.

i'm hungry, and i'm tired, and i'm mad.

you can relax. we're all here to help you now.

i'm not exactly the same as i used to be. i've changed.

come on, you big baby. say it.

you should never be singing anything. i've heard you sing.

i have the feeling we're on our own.

are you going to whine the whole way?

i've had about all the close calls i can stand for one day.

a predator is never angry, just hungry.

any day i stay alive is a good day for me.

this isn't their place. it's ours.

i hope you haven't lost all that anger.

would it be wrong for me to say i love you?

you're lucky i'm in a hurry.

i don't want pity. not even yours.

if somebody's nice to me, i'll totally fall apart.

i'm the same as ever. i really don't want to talk about it.

i'm just feeling sorry for myself.

i just need a good night's sleep. i'll be fine in the morning.

have i kept my promise?

are you happy?

they told me not to get lost in the weeds, but these are lush, beautiful, and ecologically necessary native plants so it's probably fine

[antigonehappy]

character who is sun-coded but not in the traditional ray-of-sunshine way. character who is sun-coded in the sense that they burn hot and bright and powerful, that they're a raging fury of fire and passion, and that maybe, just maybe, they are destroying themselves as they do so.

[binabees]

character who is moon-coded but not in the moody grumpy way. character who is moon-coded in the way they shine brightly in darkness guiding others. a character that is moon-coded with all their darker sides no one else can see. that they are lonely and lovely. doomed to watch on as the the person who gives them their light slowly destroys themselves taking the light with them.
