tfw the child soldier starts child-soldiering a little too hard

Can we talk about how the Berenson cousins talk to Ax in almost the exact same way when they’re seriously stressed out?? 

[Image ID: Top image is a quote from Rachel in Megamorphs #3: Elfangor’s Secret. 

<They killed Jake,> I snapped. <And theyr’e trying to get Washington. They could kill Marco. They die! Do you hear me, Andalite? They killed your prince. Do your duty.>

Bottom image is a quote from Jake in #26: The Attack.

<Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill, you call me “prince” and you act like you mean it and I am giving you a direct order. Morph. Do. It. NOW!>

I’m trying to find this fucking quote but I keep finding other stuff and now I can’t stop laughing.

____________________________________________________________

The kid and the man both looked down at me. I was standing inside a sweatshirt that was so huge it lay in folds around my feet. Which was a good thing, since my feet were talons. The arms hung limp.

"Your little brother?" the manager asked. "Why's his sweatshirt so big?"

"Hey, that sweatshirt was signed by Steve Young!" Jake said. Like that was an explanation.

"Something's wrong with his face!" the kid said. 

Jake put his arm around me protectively. "Don't listen to them, Tommy," he said, with a sob in his voice. "Your face is just fine! It's just fine, I tell you! The doctors say someday you may be normal again."

"Hey, I didn't mean anything by . . ." the kid said.

"What is it?" the manager asked in a concerned tone. "I mean, his disease."

Jake went blank. "Um . . ."

<Beakanoma,> I whispered to Jake in thought-speak.

"Beakanoma," Jake said.

<A growth in the shape of a beak,> I explained.

"It's a, uh, a growth in the shape of a beak," Jake said.

<It's especially tragic and all because it only afflicts really smart, really cute people,> I said.

Ahhh, sorry! I totally didn't mean to imply that YOU were the one suggesting that, it was just something that I'd just seen like four posts about, was confused by, and wanted your opinion on.

im calling this set of quotes: define safety for me please, literally any one of you.

<I figured you’d flown off to somewhere safe.> I decided not to take offense. I was just too tired to care what Marco said.

...

I would be safe in the sky or in the trees while [Rachel] was trying to outrun the enemy. It was the story of my life lately. My friends went into danger, and I stayed safe. All because I couldn’t morph.

...

I hit the ground and lay there, fluttering weakly, helpless. Helpless, as only a flightless bird can be helpless... And then I saw the end coming for me. Not a bobcat. Not a Taxxon or a Hork-Bajir or a Yeerk of any kind. Just a humble, ordinary, everyday raccoon... The raccoon was going to eat me. And it didn’t really care if I was still alive.

...

<Easy for you to be cocky,> I muttered. <You’re up there safe.>

...

The Hork-Bajir had their Eden. The others all had their homes. I had my meadow.

...

A warm bed at night and a nice, easy breakfast in the morning. Not that that’s how it had been when I was human. I hadn’t exactly been in a nice, normal family. See, both my folks left a long time ago. After that I just got passed around from one aunt or uncle to another.

"I was Jake's insurance policy. He thought maybe he wouldn't have to use me. He hoped, anyway. But deep down he knew, and I knew, and we both hid the truth from the others because Cassie couldn't let Jake make that decision, and Tobias couldn't let me, and those two, by loving us, would have screwed everything up."
