I’m Not Really Sure What All This Boop Business Is About Buuut Interacting Without Having To Be Social??

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

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 💞💕

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

“Someone’s got their hands on the hatchet handle…”

Getting back into watercolor!!! Artistic motivation is so back 🗣️‼️🔥

I’m also incredibly obsessed with the Hatchetfield musicals lately thanks to my friends. NPMD is def my favorite

You should draw another Michie fanart :] yours was the first one I ever saw, it’s near and dear to me

OUGH im sorry richie turned out so bad ive been struggling to draw him for like the past few months

i missed this freaks

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

PLOT TWIST OF THE CENTURY WHAT THE HELL

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

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

Max Jägerman truly truly truly I feel is a kid that needed. NEEDED. to be believed in. And he was never taught how to present an authentic, unironic self, or how to be loved, because his father very much sounds like a man who wants his children to "respect" him and parents with fear as his main tool of gaining power. So he couldn't intimidate the adults in his life early on, because he was a kid, so he turned to his peers, because they could be controlled exactly the same way his dad controlled him-- fear. Teachers would write him off as a bully as a result. He probably gets his only really positive attention from his jock friends (who he has scared into being unchallenging yesmen who are unconditionally supporting) and any praise he gets from his quarterback role. I feel like he REALLY depended on being the star quarterback for emotional support (probably along with the partying-- if your peers find you fun, that's almost like being loved). Get the boy a good father figure please
