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!
Absolutely worth the wait what a cutie
this was not worth the wait sorry guys
under versions under cut cause I couldn't decide. plus one with that stupid red bow cause i love red and i love bows
Rewired my brain you ate this so hard
here is the finished. time bastard piece i started yesterday. it’s not the best but. compared to the original piece of art it’s based off of. i really like it!!
i’m one day late please forgive me 😞
I actually think that people who portray Max as some irredeemable monster (pre-death) is more OOC than a lot of his well-written redemption arcs. If you see him as the two-dimensional bully that he is seen as by every other character in the musical, you missed the point of his death scene. He’s a tragic character because he could’ve been better. Maybe not good, but better. He had 18 years to be different, and he didn’t. And when he finally had some development, he died. That’s heartbreaking! He’s human, guys. That’s the whole point of the show. No one is as two-dimensional as they may let on.

soft michie……,..save me, soft michie..,…,.,,…,…..
I love my cat. He actually will walk around in circles on my bed if I’m walking around the room so he stays near me. Any time I get close to him he head butts me until I pet him. His name is Michael. What a little freak(he’s my best friend in the whole universe)
now that the tgwdlm revamp is announced we're gonna support it, okay guys? we're not gonna complain that its not a different musical. the more we hype this one, the more likely they are to do the same for an older musical. okay guys?

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