Absolutely Worth The Wait What A Cutie

They took time from a high-stakes nazi plot to do a song about heteronormativity and queer people forcing themselves into beard relationships. Incredible song. Incredible relationship development. Just. So good.

About to watch Spies Are Forever. I quite literally know nothing about this show besides the joke about Joey being shot by his love interests, so if the two main guys aren’t canon I’m going to commit a crime

Ik this isn’t Hatchetfield related but I need to get this out there. Today, a guy genuinely tried to debate me on Dennis Reynolds’ sexuality. This dude was really dying on the hill that he was a straight man. I was baffled! Are there really people who think this?! I thought it was a myth!!

Officer Bailey is actually just Duke if shit hit the fan

imagine meeting someone and they say "yeah im trying to get into social work/respite care for disabled individuals. but honestly if that doesnt work out im probably gonna start professionally beating people the death."

Next chapter's up y'all.

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

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 💞💕

Is Saw for the gays?? I feel like I know an exorbitant amount of other gay people who are obsessed with Saw. Do I need to watch Saw? AM I MISSING OUT?

The issue I have with the fanon versions of Richie, and less so Ruth, that I don’t have with Max is that Max always has an arc. Like in every fic you read of him being nice it’s “Mean jock who’s never had an actual friendship learns kindness from the nerds” when that’s absolutely not how it would play out. Because they aren’t particularly kind either. Like, they’re not bad people but they’re notably also not good at social interactions or friendships. Richie, Ruth, Grace, even Pete (you’re not off the hook mr protagonist) all need their own character arcs along with Max for them to hold healthier relationships and be more secure in themselves. If you want a better redemption arc fic, it shouldn’t be the nerds enlightening Max, it should be everyone adapting to the new social climate that gives them each room to grow and become better people.

I don’t think anything can quite compare to the unbridled joy of a queer teenager who knew that their favorite character would never be anything but straight, and then be proven wrong.
