a handful of random lil things that i am currently planning to put in my rewrite that might change later but also maybe not, who knows:
- gazzy puts aside his own struggles and emotions because he knows max is dealing witj A Lot and he doesn’t want to complain because he’s a Trooper! a Strong Kiddo! his issues are not important right now because there are Bigger Things to Deal With! and then this all culminates in Very traumatic interesting ways
- also gazzy gets struck by lightning because Angst And Development (does this sound over the top and extra as hell? yes. will it make sense with the plot? also yes)
- fang acquires a crowbar and keeps it, because it’s a useful weapon... but mostly because of the pun. it’s a CROW bar. how can he not? (in wvw it’s confirmed that his bird dna is from a crow lol)
- iggy’s intelligence actually being shown and expanded upon oh hell yeah we stan an actual genius
- also iggy is edgy and fang and nudge help him bleach and tone his hair so that it’s white, because ~the aesthetique~
- nudge throws knives because i love her and it’s what she deserves. she also in fact does this with extreme accuracy because she can in fact control metal and i FULLY intend to have her actually USE her ability. fang is jealous bc like duh. throwing knives is cool as HELL. anyways god i love nudge
- speaking of nudge, ella hears how the flock constantly tells her to stop talking and she’s like. “girl you LIVE like this??????”
- and also speaking of their powers... the flock actually USES them. what a concept
- dylan cannot read or write (at first). he can see really fucking well, wow that’s so cool doctor gh, but have you considered TEACHING HIM TO LIKE. READ SENTENCES. PERHAPS
- The Illiterate Duo: ari and dylan
- The I Have No Sense Of Personal Identity Gang: dylan and maya (clone problems amirite)
- angel gets actual development and real human emotions and shit instead of being the textbook Adorable Creepy OP Child Trope
- nino pierpont is actually a bad guy! haven’t decided to what degree yet, but he definitely ain’t good
- the “you’re not my dad, i’m LITERALLY in a tank and you’re not” meme. haven’t decided with who yet tho lol
- y’all remember mike, the hacker guy? yeah he’s gonna play a bit more of a part in the series. also jp never specified his race so he’s not gonna be white. representation babey. same with ratchet. canon race not specified so he ain’t white either
- iconic duo of super smart characters of color with a promising future who fell of the rails due to the system failing them: mike and ratchet (whos probably gonna go by rat because i can do what i want)
- iggy’s whole “can see when everything is bright white and also sort of underwater” thing is stupid so we’re not doing that. however he is going to use echolocation because that’s cool as fuck. hell yeah.
- despite an earlier post about not including total in the rewrite i think i will, because like. the way he’s introduced is one of the VERY few things about maximum ride that i love. “yeah he can talk but he’s not that interesting lol” angel sweetie that is the FUNNIEST fucking thing anyone has ever said oh my GOD
- fang does, in fact, listen to 100gecs
- waverwings is set in modern times (ignoring current events bc fuck major historical events this is escapism babey) so the flock? gen z. except maybe angel and gazzy i think they might be gen alpha, idk. so basically what i’m saying is.... tik toks. fucking. tik toks
- oh and also gen77 kids? making SO many memes about being gen z and gen77.
- “oh you’re gen z? well i’m gen z AND gen77. get on my level, pleb.”
anyways there’s a fuckton more and none of this probably makes any sense because there’s little to no context, but you know what? sometimes i just gotta be incoherent. and i think that’s beautiful ✌️😔
