Jumping on the Maximum Ride rewrite train

Disclaimer I have not read Maximum Ride in years and I never read from Max onward and there’s no order to this I’m just writing down whatever I think of.

First of all, the Flock are test tube babies and anyone who tells them they are biologically their parents is a liar and they know this

Gasman has an actual name, August, because calling him Gasman is just weird. It can still be a nickname tho. I’m gonna be referring to him as August for the rest of the list btw

Max and Fang are 16, Iggy is 15, Nudge is 13, August is 10, and Angel is 6

They don’t randomly get powers that are irrelevant and useless. All their powers are present from the beginning, they just can’t seem to control them

Jeb is evil and emotionally manipulative like in canon and a recurrent plot point is the Flock trying to come to terms with the fact that he never really cared for them.

Fang uses a fucking VPN for his dumbass blog, also his blog looks like what you’d think Gerard Way’s MySpace page would look like.

Ari is still SEVEN and acts like you’d expect a SEVEN year old would: IE not being a creep to Max and not looking like he’s 18 and just being a scared little kid put through cruel experimentation by his father.

Total is there, but he cannot talk. No, not even to Angel. He’s just a little guy with no powers and no wings.

Angel can still read minds, but she’s really bad at controlling it. She sometimes accidentally reads minds without meaning to and feels bad about it because she is a child and shouldn’t be evil for no reason.

No forced ass “You’re kids but also save the world habe fun” plot. It’s all them trying to stay undiscovered and safe. Every adult they meet betrays them (Besides Dr. Martinez)

Speaking of, Dr. Martinez takes them in and adopts them as her own once she and Ella manage to prove to the Flock that they’re like the only trustworthy people in the damn world.

Dr. Martinez gets to slap Jeb when he comes and tries to take the Flock away like “fuck you these are my kids!!”

The Flock considers each other siblings. Meaning no weird Max/Fang romance and also they’re kids.

The worst thing that happens is of course the School capturing everyone and now the Flock has to escape the school without Jeb’s help AND rescue Dr. Martinez and Ella bc that’s their mom and sister!!!!

That’s all I got James Patterson give me the rights to Maximum Ride right now

I think I read the Maximum Ride books about a dozen times each in my tweens. Thus, this weekend I drew the Flock with character designs conjured up completely from memory. (Feel free to engage me regarding headcanons I have had for literally a decade lol)

I doodled Maximum Ride abt a month ago and totally forgot to post it. I tried to draw her EXACTLY as I imagined her when I read the books in 2008

#obviously she was the coolest looking teen 12 year old me could fathom. #maximum ride #ve been rereading the Hunger Games and doodling while I listen but thinking about books I read in middle school reminded me that #this drawing lived in my camera roll #i tapped out a good few books in. i read fang in highschool and was like ‘k I’m done’ #i really enjoyed them in middle school tho! #al chatters #doodles #my art #fanart

AU where James Patterson's Maximum Ride series was set 10-15 years later, the writing and ending is improved, and instead of blogging Fang Twitch streams.

i would love to make an ironic post that's like "i loved that part of maximum ride where she said 'i'm maximum ride, you son of a bitch!' and maximum rode all over the place" but i can't say it ironically because that actually happened

#it took 10 books but STILL #they speak #maximum ride

Hate the Maximum Ride series I hate it. It had so much potential but James Patterson wouldn’t know consistency if it hit him in the face. Like the part where the gang went to Antartica? It felt like I had missed a book with how much had happened. And Izzy’s mom going from dead to actually being married and thinking he was dead? Whack. Within a couple of chapters too like. I could be remembering wrong but what kind of inconsistency was that?

I've never read this series, but because my brain is utterly broken, I have watched multiple hours long videos about it. And even then, with all that knowledge, having it all condensed down to it's most straightforward and coherent, I could in no way give you a cohesive plot summary. Like, I think they stop the apocalypse, stop the climate crisis, and then it doesn't matter because the apocalypse happens anyway? Maybe? I don't know.

I don't think even James Patterson knows.

I'm starting to think he's not even a real person. Just every now and then, a book appears in the world with that name on it. It never goes to an editor, no publishing house actually handles it, it's never even been to a printer. It just appears in bookstores and we as a society just don't question it

Don't underestimate the power of an aroace autistic ignoring whole pieces of plot and story in books as a kid

#i once read a whole book series thinking the main characters mentor was a woman when she was in fact a man. 5 books in and i realized and #went. well shes a gay old lady now #i just make shit up as a kid i would 100% lie and gaslight myself into beliveing things that were not true #and now when i go back to series i read or watched as a kid im like wym theirs romance in this #and you know what. good #i read the maximum ride series and didnt like somethong so i chose not to belive it. happy family. happy bird family o7 #everytime i watch ninjago i go hey wait. that didnt hapoen. im better than you #god wait i still do this #iread six of crows because the reveiws said 'veryr minor romance' and their were THREE whole romance subplots #and i said no actually. your wrong. and i keep forgetting o7

So I was reading through the first MR manga for lore reasons, and I got to a part I had forgotten from the book, which was essentially a conversation between Fang and Nudge about their parents, where Nudge asks what Fang would do if they had an opportunity to meet their parents, and Fang, very honestly, says they don’t know.

And Nudge says along the lines of “well, that’s because you don’t need anyone or anything”.

Which. I love this more than the entire late series combined. Because yeah, it’s something a stressed out 11-year-old would say, mostly out of frustration. She feels like she’s falling apart, meanwhile Fang is a-okay with being isolated from the rest of humanity. But it’s also possibly THE MOST CRUEL thing Nudge has said in the whole series, and I want to see the fucking fallout.

Because in the past few days, Fang has

Watched their youngest sister get kidnapped

Had to leave their brothers behind in a potentially compromised location

Watched their older sister abandon them

Tried their best to keep a brave face on for Nudge’s benefit while feeding her and keeping her safe, even though they’re separated from the majority of the flock for the first time in their life.

Like, they are at their limit. They have one person left that they need to keep safe, and they are trying so hard to make her feel safe, too. In book 1, they’re pretty clearly close with Nudge, and she just. Says that. With no thoughts about what it means.

Acting like Fang doesn’t care about anything or anyone when they very clearly do, and are standing to risk losing every single person that they’ve built their life around.

And it’s even better in the manga, because the panel immediately switches back to Fang, and they are HURT. It’s pretty clear that Nudge struck a nerve without realizing it.

And I wish so badly that interaction has been explored more, or at least more time was spent on it. Because there is something so good and so telling in those words about both Nudge and Fang, and it deserves better.

#maximum ride on main #maximum ride #Fang (Maximum Ride) #nudge (maximum ride) #AU where Nudge says that and Fang just starts ugly crying #or where that fight is brought up five books down the line bc Fang has not stopped thinking about it #AU where Nudge and Fang are just allowed to be close beyond TAE

100% serious non-joking Maximum Ride theory that I totally subscribe to

Total was not born a dog and was not created in a lab. He was fully just like, some adult human guy who the whitecoats turned into a dog for shits and giggles. Instead of being a dog who was turned semi-human by the whitecoats, he was a human whose brain (and body of course) was turned semi-dog by the whitecoats.

Angel says that animals think in a certain way, and we see that in the fragmented thoughts of animals whose minds she reads and even the feral children in the School. And yet right out of the gate, Total is able to speak in full sentences, with an unmistakably human understanding of the world. Not to mention, he has knowledge of the world that even the Flock doesn't, like who JFK was. He even believes in the second gunman theory surrounding the assassination. Is this likely just for comic relief? Of course.

Could I also extrapolate from that that Total was a man who believed in and chased conspiracy theories, which led him to the School, which then captured him and used him as a test subject? Yes, I could. And I did.
