Someone Has To Have Done This Already

You know what, I fuck with it when Nick said the nerds (Pete, Ruth and Richie) aren't really "friends", but just hang with each other cause they don't have other friends (or something close to that)

Cause fuck if that wasn't me in high school (was either forced to be friends with the popular kids or was with the other nerds in art class, and I know which one I loved more, lol)

Max Jägerman truly truly truly I feel is a kid that needed. NEEDED. to be believed in. And he was never taught how to present an authentic, unironic self, or how to be loved, because his father very much sounds like a man who wants his children to "respect" him and parents with fear as his main tool of gaining power. So he couldn't intimidate the adults in his life early on, because he was a kid, so he turned to his peers, because they could be controlled exactly the same way his dad controlled him-- fear. Teachers would write him off as a bully as a result. He probably gets his only really positive attention from his jock friends (who he has scared into being unchallenging yesmen who are unconditionally supporting) and any praise he gets from his quarterback role. I feel like he REALLY depended on being the star quarterback for emotional support (probably along with the partying-- if your peers find you fun, that's almost like being loved). Get the boy a good father figure please

npmd but they’re all musicians!

pete, richie, and ruth are in some math rock band and want to enter a talent show but can’t cause their band needs four members. they manage to convince steph as a way to prove she’s a team player to her dad.

grace joins, somehow. she’s always just there ™

max is in a rival band with all his football bros. feeling betrayed that steph didn’t want to join his band, he swears to destroy hers + the rest of those nerdy prudes.

silly hijinks follow!!

feat. pete on guitar, richie on drums, ruth on bass (a very underrated instrument, often blending into the background, but necessary), grace on piano (she learned at church), and lead singer steph

Just realised Hannah would be 19 today. Isn't that crazy?????

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HANNAH FOSTER AND THE DAY THE HATCHETFIELD TIMELINE SPLIT!!!!

I think Max's parents are divorced so he lives with his Dad and the reason for said divorce is Ted Spankoffski. Need I say more.

I feel like if Richie ever introduced Max to Stardew Valley, he would quickly turn that cute little farming game into a war campaign.

Like they would just be sitting there on the couch, playing together on the tv. On Richie’s side, he’s peacefully farming away and decorating the land outside of the house, while also trying to complete the community center. Occasionally, he’ll go down into the mines to get supplies.

On Max’s side, he’s sweating. Hands are clammy. Moms spaghetti. His character’s health bar is at 5%, and he’s frantically eating whatever he can to give him stamina. Theres monsters surrounding him from every corner. He’s babbling and cursing as he swings around his sword, frantically collecting stone and ore. He’s died sixteen times. Harvey hates him. On his side of the farm, he has three coops filled with dinosaurs. He loves them all equally.

I’ve literally never seen a clip of Jerma doing something normal

He’s always pretending to eat a bird out of a bird house or comparing himself to an m&m or coming back from the dead to haunt teenagers like ffs man get a grip

Tagging this as Michie is wild bro😭

I completely understand not liking a ship or how it’s portrayed, but you have to understand. That’s your opinion. No we do not all have to come to an agreement, we’re all different people with different thoughts.

There’s a difference between “I wish a ship was portrayed more this way,” and “I think we should all come to an agreement to stop engaging in this specific way because people are doing it Wrong, which is, not aligning with how I see it.”

Share your opinion. Go for it! But this is closer to policing the things that other people enjoy. Acting like the only right or acceptable way to enjoy a ship is the more angsty version that it would play out as realistically is,

1) Defeating the point of fan works, being that they can branch away from canon as much as you want because it’s literally just for fun, and

2) Unkind

Let people have fun! If you don’t think it’s fun then dont do it! Block the tag!

Hey Hatchetfield moots can we just collectively realize and accept the fact that Michie is lowkey a very toxic relationship because canonically Max has been bullying Pete since fourth grade which would mean he probably started bullying the other nerds around then which means Max has been bullying Richie and the nerds for almost a decade so even if Max has a redemption arc and does canonically have trauma I don't think there is any way this ship could be positive or healthy Richie would have to have some Stockholm syndrome type shit to even fall in love with Max in the first place not trying to ruin the ship for anyone but I feel like we need to realize this as a fandom please and thank you 💞💕

I’m still stuck on Will with grey hair

I know we're all excited for Will as Hidgens, but I can't get buff Hidgens out of my head 😭😭

Hidgens has not been skipping gym while preparing for the end of the world ☄️
