the nerdy prudes when max jagerman fucking dies /silly
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.

finally complete an animatic for the first time in years and its This
Jagertitty but even more tragic.
Arospec Grace accidentally(or purposefully ig?) using Max and mistreating him. He’s head over heals, super touchy and kind of gross, and she’s just completely indifferent. If you really hate Max you could make him aspec. Classic toxic relationship right there.
Maybe they both have redemption arcs and realize they just make eachother worse. They’re in love and they have never been less happy than they are together.
Or: One has a redemption arc/gets therapy, the other goes the complete opposite direction.
Grace actually becomes friends with the nerds after Max dies in the Waylon Place. Almost canon-compliant, but she starts to feel bad for what they did to Max, and when he comes back it kills her what they have to do. She manipulates him and uses the trust that she already violated once to get rid of him for good. Or maybe she just can’t bring herself to do it. Bad ending 👎
Max makes nice with the nerds after surviving the prank. Grace somehow gets her hands on the black book, and tells Max about her evil plans. He’s still in love with her so he doesn’t really try to stop her or stand up to her, trusting her to make the right choice like he did, until it’s too late.
I don’t think the guy rerun is a cash grab. As a viewer you can have whatever opinion, I understand not wanting it. But like. I’m pretty sure they’re just doing it because everyone at Starkid likes the show and wanna do it again.
Plus, they’ve grown a lot with the introduction of Hatchetfield. Don’t pretend you aren’t at least a little excited to see the show with a bigger budget.
