One of the things I want to be explored more is Max's general inability to connect with people outside of her immediate circle. Not in the "I'm so socially awkward" way or even "I grew up feral" way, but in the way of Max having spent the first 14 years of her life having everyone she interacted with divided into family or enemies.
Like, this isn't even fully psychology at this point, it's neurology. When her neural pathways were at their infancy all the way up to when her prefrontal cortex was mostly developed, she had the flock that she would die for, and everyone else who wanted to hurt her. That's it. It's no fucking wonder that she felt like Dr. Martinez and Ella were practically family after three days, and that's because her brain has no reference for making friends or casual acquaintances. They were nice to her, and that means they're not enemies, and there's only one other slot in her brain for them to into. It's no wonder that she felt disjointed in Virginia's private school, even when she was trying to make friends, because she's attempting to do something that she has no frame of reference for. Of course Jeb kept wildly oscillating between "my dad who was misguided but tried his best" and "the worst person alive", because he was one of her enemies until age 10 and then immediately made a switch to her caretaker, and that only enforced the dichotomy in her head.
She cannot relate to other people outside of these two scopes. The closest she gets is the romance, and even that has the undercurrent of family because even with all her options (and she had several), she always circled back to Fang. The romance is just an extension of a dynamic that's written into her brain.
And I think there's something genuinely sad about that. How it stunts her ability to interact with other people, how it creates an inability for nuance in her mind. And, ultimately, how it's something she never learns to outgrow.

I never actually finished the series I stopped at Maximum Ride Forever, should I give in and read hawk after all this damn time? Need a professional opinion
it's so great that even tho i don't even make maximum ride posts that much anymore i'm still considered a Professionalā„¢. my license hasn't expired yet apparently!
anyway, tbh Hawk was pretty mediocre and boring, although it had one or two fun flock moments. i don't think it's worth it *just* for that, but if you can tolerate grimdark edgy post-apocalypse stuff you might have an okay time. if you were annoyed by Forever you will probably be annoyed by Hawk.
city of the dead had a surprisingly coherent plot and, for that reason, was more exciting than Hawk. i wouldn't call it *good* but parts of it were interesting. i'm gonna credit the new co-author mindy mcginnis for that bc you KNOW james patterson wasn't the source of any of the good parts.
TLDR: might be worthwhile for nostalgia/"LMAO WTF IS THIS" reasons (due to all the random bullshit inserted in both of them), but otherwise i don't really recommend them. i don't think most of the fandom considers them canon/important anyway.

Reject cannon create your own maximum ride ocā€¼ļøā€¼ļø (that is really only loosely connected to the concept of maxride because why not re write it with gay people and a cohesive plot)
This is Keer, theyā€™re based on a bearded vulture, they love bones. Also @toadsinstilettos and @ares-slay got dragged into this, their characters are also here

LOOK WHAT SHOWED UP ON EBAY
ok i will be a little more normal and explain. this is the SOF promotional soundtrack, a mindbogglingly-rare piece of marketing for the second Maximum Ride book. prior to the release of said book, the CD was available in a number of ways: a weekly contest run through the forums, a promotional offer through Five Below, as a prize in radio contests, and as a gift with each of the first 100,000 copies of Schoolā€™s Out ā€“ Forever.
but as far as iā€™ve been able to uncover, it was never available for purchase, and it is now completely unobtainable unless you go to the, like, one library in California that owns a copy.
or if someone lists one on eBay.
(yes, of course i bought it lmao)
