The Issue I Have With The Fanon Versions Of Richie, And Less So Ruth, That I Don’t Have With Max Is

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.

Steph would be a huge MLP fan and take that shit to her grave. My girl is taking full advantage of the private likes on Twitter. I think her favorite would be Sunset Shimmer. Yk she’s in deep because her favorite character isn’t even really in the main series

what makes max so interesting to me is his self-awareness and his self-destruction

from the line in literal monster and what he says as ghost!max, he knows that he’s going to peak in high school and have literally nothing after he graduates. he’s not ignorant to it, he fucking knows

and he’s the one keeping his system in place. he’s the one preventing himself from having a real friend or just someone that wants to do something nice for him. he’s the one guaranteeing that’s he’s going to peak in high school. it’s all him and only him AND he fucking knows it! but he does it anyway

all it really comes down to is fear. he’s afraid of his future, but he’s more afraid to do anything to change it

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

I find the idea of post-apocalyptic Paulkins very interesting.

Do you think they deny any type of therapy at first because they’ve been “normal” their whole lives. They don’t need that.

Do think Emma gets another job as a barista but quits the first day. Because all she can think about is the last time that she brewed coffee, and the scars and shaking that didn’t cover her hands back then.

Do you think they still cling onto each other like wild animals any time they get a moment of peace, as if there’s a zombie mob coming to break their door down and ruin it.

Do you think Paul can even hear music without freaking out, ten times worse than before? Can Emma?

They were strangers a month ago. Do you think they can even breathe when the other is out of their sight? Do you think they want to?

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

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)
