Struggle Fest Part 2: The Struggling

After an endless onslaught of broken mics, computers, and sickness, Hannah and Kelly finally return to discuss the rest of Book 19, the Departure. We talk about play structure some more, and continue to struggle with our admiration for and intial feelings about Cassie. 

  (Heads up, the audio gets a little buzzy at the 30 minute mark, and again at the 45 minute mark, but it lasts for less than ten seconds each time.We think we figured out how to fix it going forward.)

Sow Your Instant Maple and Ginger Oats While Ye May

Hannah and Kelly discuss Book 17 the underground while struggling to understand life in a state as warm as California. The Animorphs struggle to come to terms with the morality of chemical warfare full of fiber. The yeerks struggle with a heart healthy drug epidemic and the 1990's struggle with whether mental illness is tragic or hilarious. 

Warning for discussions of suicide.

56 Kilobytes of Evil

Don't talk to strangers online, kids! Oh. Oops. This episode of The Hindsight is all about Book 16, The Warning -- a.k.a, that book with the goofy Yeerk chatroom. Hannah and Kelly discuss why KA Applegate's anti-internet stance is so funny, bug morphs continue to create new phobias for us all, and Visser Three steals a show he isn't even in.

Hey, we can’t get into our asks, so if you’ve sent us something, we aren’t ignoring it, we just can’t get in. We still have access to messages though!

Hannah:(who just got a job at a Lutheran Organization, after leaving an awful company) This benefits package is amazing. I just want to go back to that old job and give them a list of everything they are terrible at and all the ways they have wronged me. 

Kelly: That’s not very Lutheran of you.

Hannah: ... That is literally the MOST Lutheran thing I could do.

Episode 18: Live Every Week Like It's Shark Week!

Hannah and Kelly, despite what Marco would want, worry about one of their favorite Animorphs a lot in this episode. They also marvel at the Yeerk's new and innovative villainy, again grapple with how morphing with alien bodies in your body works, and Hannah unabashedly loves psychic frogs. It's Book 15, The Escape!

THIS COMES FROM THE BOOK STORY BY TOBERT MCKEE. READ IT IF YOU WANNA WRITE GOOD!!!!

[spiritsonic]

Since we seem to be on a “how to make story good” kick today…

[aniquotes]

‘I asked you kids what you’re doing in that stall,’ the cigar man said, more sharply this time. 'Um…grooming our horse?’ I offered. Rachel’s eyebrows shot up. 'Our horse? Oh, yeah, that’s exactly what we’re doing. Grooming our horse.’ She reached over and stroked Ax’s back. 'Small for a horse,’ the second man said skeptically. 'What are you feeding that poor swaybacked nag?’ 'Horse food,’ Marco said. 'Horse food?’ 'Yeah. Um…you know, horse food. Boy, you should see how many cans this guy can eat. Man, all day long I’m opening cans of horse food and filling his dish.’ The two men stared. The cigar man moved his cigar to the other side of his mouth. 'Hah-hah-hah!’ I practically screamed. 'He’s such a kidder! Of course we’re not feeding our horse food from cans. We’re feeding him alfalfa and hay. Like you’d feed any horse. My friend is such a joker! Total joke machine!’ 'Plus he’s a moron,’ Rachel added. 'Your horse is blue,’ the second man observed. 'Never seen a blue horse.’ 'Never seen kids wearing feathers on their faces, either,’ cigar said. 'And I’ve seen a lot of things in my time.’ Jake was looking at me, waiting for me to come up with an answer. So was Rachel. So was Marco. Our 'horse’ was blue. There was no denying that. And yes, we had white-and-gray feathers sticking our of the sleeves and collars of our morphing suits. 'We like blue horses,’ I said lamely. 'Some day, all horses will be blue,’ Jake agreed.
