Happy Nerdy Prudes Must Die day, go Nighthawks!!

Ranking the NPMD kids on how much and how well I think they mask.
Pete: can mask if absolutely necessary and is pretty good at it, immediately needs time to recharge, main person to handle social situations Him, Ruth, & Richie run into.
Richie: Cannot mask to save his life, doesn’t try to.
Ruth: Cannot mask to save her life, does try to.
Grace: Has been masking severely since she was young it’s so tightly glued to her face she can’t take it off, doesn’t consciously recognize she’s masking, definitely undiagnosed.
Max: Masks any “uncool” interests, mainly masks around his dad, probably undiagnosed.
Steph: Masks alright, mainly masks around the other popular kids, does it subconsciously, maybe undiagnosed.
Mmm... Max Jägerman Hatchetfield??
You know. Of all the things I had on the list.
Meeting Max Jagerman was not on the bingo sheet
Moment of silence for absolutely horrendous line "my dirty girl soup got me hungry for more"
So. Logically, Dead Max is Like That because of the curse. The mayor says “That’s not Max anymore,” implying that whatever brought him back warped him beyond reasoning or humanity.
But wouldn’t it be so much funnier if (because he was drunk when he died) he was just. Eternally hammered to the point of insanity.
Gonna have a hell of a headache when he gets to Drowsytown, that’s for sure.
I’ve literally never seen a clip of Jerma doing something normal
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
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.
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!
I once saw someone ask if Jagertitty was Max x Titty Mitty. Shoutout to that person
I feel very passionately about this. I need more Max and Steph friendship content.
Need them growing from that surface-level popular group friendship to genuinely connecting with each other.
If you’re into Michie, or ig this could also work for any Max x nerd ship, you could make them bond over liking a nerd. Steph would be gushing about Pete and Max would be absolutely disgusted with himself for relating to it.
Need an AU where they were super good friends and Max made certain that she didn’t know how awful he was. And instead of pulling the prank, what humbles him is losing the only person that he was actually, truly close with. He becomes friends with the nerds just to get her to forgive him, but he ends up actually liking them.
Tbh I really like the last one, might make a follow-up post about that. Point is, their dynamic would be cool and they have lots of potential. Steph would be good at humbling him and I think he would be less stand-off-ish because she’s not a nerd or whatever. Food for thought
I love me some dead teenage jocks
I ask my friend to show me a hot guy they sent me copia and then we both sent the same photo of max jagerman
Don’t usually draw musical fan art but I love Starkid so much i had to draw something for the newest show
Had to get this OUT of my system before I exploded
They would either be besties or absolutely hate eachother, no in-between
Anyway back to your regularly scheduled program
I CANT STOP DRAWING HATCHETFIELD
Nerdy prudes must die is arguably the best song of Nerdy Prudes Must Die purely for the high part Will Branner sings if I'm so fr
It's always "he killed multiple people" and "he was a huge jerk to everyone" like yes your honor but also consider he's just a silly lil meow meow pathetic man
I’m sorry, I may just be a bit oblivious but I don’t actually get what you’re trying to imply here 😅 especially because in my mind these are two very different characters.
Mainly because from point one it’s obvious Jason doesn’t want to be doing the things he’s doing which contrasts with max who seems to revel in it and so has a much more stark difference between his terrible behavior and his redemption.
I think it should also be mentioned that (imo) Jason isn’t really a character who gets “redeemed”. (Hear me out!) From my understanding redemption is when you do something truly truly bad, make up for it, and learn to be a better person. Jason barely fulfills the truly bad thing by hanging with max and doing his bidding (but as I said above he doesn’t want to be doing any of it in the first place) but his “redemption” is a bit overshadowed by the fact that he tells Richie that if max ever came back he’d go right back to bullying. Now even though max’s redemption is also overshadowed by a return to his evil doings I think it’s really important to mention that Jason just randomly says he’d return to bullying if max ever came back. Whereas max has a more character reason to make his decent back into evil (mainly getting hurt, and pissing his pants. Which are both embarrassing things and we know he has a problem with his dad humiliating him)
In your tags you mentioned that you didn’t think screen time had to do with this, but I actually think it does. And the reason I think this is because of Kyle. Now idk about anyone else but I often don’t remember much about this character. (I had to look up his name just now.) and to me that’s because he hardly does anything in the show. So it would make sense to me if Jason, who is in the show less than max but more than Kyle, would get less attention from the fandom than max, but more than Kyle. And while I know that people love taking random background characters and making them the fandom favorite. I don’t actually think that Jason really fulfills what a typical fandom wants to see which is mainly toxic sad boys. (Which Jason is not imo. Other than the whole “we’re gonna return to bullying” he’s pretty healthy and happy)
I’m sure there are more in depth reasons but that’s the one that came up to me.
Sorry, not trying to be rude or anything. Just kinda hoping to start a conversation because I’m really curious about this topic! 😊
(edit: I looked back at your tags and saw that this is about race, which is totally fair. I’m not going to claim that isn’t what’s happening here since I haven’t really looked at the fandom from that point of view. Feel free to disregard this entire reblog 😝)
Jason Jepson is literally everything the fandom wants Max to be (kind of dumb, gets redeemed and turns out to be actually really sweet, cares a lot about his friends, makes up with the nerds he bullied, hell he even likes Grace). But yet the fandom still favours Max more. I wonder why that is! Hmmm, I wonder what the difference between these two could be!
OKAY OKAY, HEAR ME OUT, FANDOM SEEKERS! I don't know if anyone has seen the movie Ferdinand; if you haven't, then I recommend seeking it out, but that's besides the point. There's this bull in that movie named Valiente, and he's giving off serious Max Jägerman vibes, especially in the beginning. If you seen it, let me know if you agree.
