4 maximum ride fans only

the format of spacehey is giving me major nostalgia of Fang's blog from Maximum Ride. I was only able to look up the link in like 2016, and I think the blog was deleted/discontinued by that time, but somehow I think I found a replication of the site. maybe I'm remembering it all wrong.


ok doing some #digging and apparently I've visited wiki page multiple times and I don't remember lol. last accessed 9/14/20 though so it's been a second.

wow getting the VERY strong urge to reread the books. did James Patterson know what he was doing by creating Fang. scrolling through google images it gives me a subtle ick, but maybe that checks out as it was a prominent part of the latter half of my childhood.

ANYWAY I just remember scrolling through the blog on my tablet in 2016 and there was a picture of these teenagers and Fang was like "this is the flock" and the picture was so unnerving for some reason I physically felt ill. trying to find the image but sadly cannot.

teenage culture (from what I remember) from 2011-2015 was so eerie like seriously. what with the emerging, dangerous internet and terrible fashion and twilight. lol. 

also been thinking about James Patterson's Along Came a Spider. I appreciate the fact that he will just write whatever. 
I hate Neil Gaiman for an inarticulable reason (just the way he writes, very weird sexuality... he's a Nine which is like, this hidden gross underlying sexualness, and also the decadentness. and I hate fantasy and I think I'm afraid that I'm going to turn out to be a similar writer) 
BUT for some reason James Patterson can get away with anything in my book. Neil Gaiman grosses me out whenever he writes on a dicey topic, but for some reason, James Patterson is like. Ok whatever. To keep it real I fuck him on the floor. 
No but seriously, if I had to type James Patterson despite knowing nothing about the guy, I would type him as a Six. which is a hidden self-preservation-ness as opposed to sexualness, which is way more bearable. 

what makes Sixes generally more bearable than Nines is the fact that they actually have a location. like they're actually building their story around something tangible, and they're actively working to find that location. Nines refuse to have a location, their stories are mystical and ephemeral and I HATE IT SO GODDAMN MUCH. plus, Sixes have an ego around earning their ego at least. Nines have an ego around not having an ego, around being temporary creatures. DIE.

what I learned about writers from being a temporary bookworm in my youth is that all writers are in hell. they cannot escape their own perception. which is like, true of all of us, but I think that best got into my brain through reading books. and at least James Patterson's weird sexual-self-pres hell feels kind of like a roadmap.

but yeah, maybe it's just the nostalgia, but honestly any books from that era I get the ick. the Percy Jackson series, the Lunar Chronicles, the Legend series, the Land of Stories, 13th Reality, shit like that. symbolically, on the Enneagram (and whatever I'm pulling this out of my ass), the world of words and literature is Six's domain. and Six, like all points on the Enneagram, is fine. but also every point is hell. 

like Six is fear-based and very tuned in to the discourse and social interactions around them.............. bleh. 

Anyway, your reward: creepy Fang Blog pictures from the internet <3
