I Feel Very Passionately About This. I Need More Max And Steph Friendship Content.

Since people are talking about Holyghost and Michie again, I’d like to throw this out there: Falsettos AU. You know who’s who. And Grace marries Jason. Send post

Not to be weird or anything but if we were stuck in a musical zombie apocalypse you’re the first person I would come to. Not weird tho. Because we wouldn’t kiss or anything. Just die, probably. Not to be weird.

If I see one person preemptively type-casting Will Branner I will flip. People were looking forward to other cast members as Hidgens, I know, but if you think Will isn’t going to knock it out of the park just like he did with Max, you’re wrong! He’s gonna kill it and I am SO excited to see him playing an equally insane character on the exact opposite end of the spectrum

There’s a lot of untapped potential with parental figures for Max. Obv we’ve seen Paul because he’s like. The most popular adult in Hatchetfield.

But have you considered Emma meeting Max through Paul, and being a better match for him because she was an edgy prick as a teenager, so she gets him in a way Paul can’t.

Or, less beneficially, Ted as an older brother figure. Maybe they could meet through Pete if Max has enough of a redemption to be friends-ish with him. I think Ted would also be way more understanding because Max is honestly just Ted but younger and more athletic. Simultaneous character arcs. Or maybe not maybe they’re just awful forever idk

If you wanna get into some LiB/PIEP shenanigans. You could go with Holloway! Tbh I haven’t seen NMT so I haven’t got much for this. But it seems interesting enough.

Or John! Max has to move out or hide from his dad after some inciting event. He gets sick of hopping around between houses of people who kind of don’t like him, so John(probably the only person without a grudge against him) takes him in. You got your classic troubled teen and emotionally closed-off adult pairing. Bonus points if Max is queer and that’s like the only emotional situation John is comfortable in because he dealt with it, too.

There’s so much! So much!

loving a character so much will unlock such vulnerable and cringe parts of you that you try to suppress so bad but you can't like it's so humbling

What are your other Lord in Black height headcanons? I'm picturing Blinky as the shortest, but I'm wondering if you have something else in mind :]

This is a rough one but here are my headcanons!

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

Next chapter's up y'all.
