since u sent me questions….. its my turn 😈😈😈 muahahahhah

who’s ur fav hatchetfield character? on top of that, what’s your fav show in the franchise?

what’s your favorite musical?

any headcanons for rtc or hatchetfield characters?

are u aware of how AMAZING you are? srsly i freak our whenever i see u reply and leave comments and stuff on my posts 💗💗 I LOVE MOOTS!!!!

royallllllll :DDDDD thank you for the questions, i love them!! 🤗🤗

(yes i've been working on these for a hot minute)

this is genuinely a really tough question. i'd say it's a tie between richie and pete from npmd. i'm torn because i LOVE richie with my entire heart but i know that pete and i would be BEST friends irl and i just love everything about his character. (I haven't seen NMT so i mean joey's pete specifically) and NPMD is 1000000000% my favourite show! i do really love TGWDLM but nerdy prudes has my entire heart and soul and always will!

2. favourite musical, like...in general? oh boy...other than nerdy prudes i would probably sayyyyy into the woods? it brings me a lot of comfort, especially musically! that or in the heights (the musical, i haven't seen the movie) or all shook up (i love the gender fudgery), i also love be more chill and am hyperfixating on ride the cyclone haha (there's a lot tbh)(i could go on for aaaaaaages)

3. i just posted some rtc hcs for a previous ask, buuuuut:

ruth rides a bike to and from school (no idea where this came from but i feel like it makes sense, especially considering how h*rny she always is, and the fact that her hair would look SO adorable all smooshed under a helmet heheheheh)

not sure if this is canon or not but richie is like...really good at visual art, his sketchbooks are like miniature art museums, and he gets roped in to designing banners etc. for the nighthawks. he gets insanely nervous and fidgety before art showcases.

i'm undecided whether grace is one of those (pardon the pun) holier-than-thou green tea addicts, or if she chugs coffees like jesus intended (I love green tea, i just see her being like annoying about it, yknow?) also she DEFINITELY has a unicorn lunchbox.

i get like...bilingual energy from max? like he's actual real sweet to his grandma and speaks to her in their native language kinda vibes. yeah...i like this one...

steph's actually damn good at coding, she's hacked the school network to bypass the website restrictions so she can use her phone in class like an OBSCENE amount of times.

cats LOVE pete spankoffski, like...he's almost definitely allergic but they flock to him. any time he goes to ruth's house (bc girlie DEFINITELY has cats), she huffs because they love pete, lay all over him, and get sad when he leaves. and who could blame them, really?

4. WHAT omg i'm nothin' special! that's so so sweet of you though, i always worry i get kinda too excited about your art, but i just ADORE your art style <3 the urge to start a kickstarter to get you an iPad with an apple pencil hehe

This is my head canon

I love that in npmd Grace is just not threatened by Max whatsoever.

That is the face of someone with no natural predators. Like I understand that he doesn't give her a hard time but you'd think at least a rumor would make it her way. But no, the way she acts around him implies that she has no idea he is a person other people are scared of.

And I know it's probably because she doesn't have a lot of friends and therefore has none to tell her, but I like to think it's actually because Max has gone to extreme lengths to protect his image around her.

I can just imagine him punching someone in the face and ends the interaction with "and if you tell Grace Chasity about this I will fucking find you."

study date! (guess what i finally watched)

[lilacthebooklover]

i love the idea of hatchetfield being such an accepting town when it comes to gender and sexual identity. minus the occasional grace, you've got all these cultists and corrupted businesses and evil eldritch gods but they're still gonna insult or accuse you with the correct pronouns. i respect that.

[sonayesul]

due to the fact pete is played by three different actors throughout his existence i like to think that's just A Thing. Pete Spankoffski is always a little nerd who drinks hot chocolate and has low blood sugar and is Ted's little brother, but he looks different in like every universe. No one else does, everyone else looks the same except Pete, he's the outlier and for literally no reason too, he's just Like That

Some NPMD HC/Ideas

I just let my brain run wild at 2 am for like an hour after scrolling HolyGhost Tumblr and watching NPMD and Abstinence Camp

Max isn't just lusting after Grace - He's in love/obsessed, you'd think it's because she's repressed or forbidden like he says, but its honestly probably just bc she's the first person to tell him no and he finds that insanely hot and attractive

He actually tries going at her pace, reads the bible, talks to her, builds up to carrying her books, then holding hands, then supervised dates, ect.

He says he's doing it all "for the bit" of getting with every hot girl at school, but deep down he knows the only way she'll get with him is if they get married - and he's gonna fucking get with her eventually

Grace is both the judgmental church mom (think Maude Flanders) and the insufferable head of the PTA

Their kid is the most fucked up kid imaginable, their dad is always enforcing the idea more fucking is more admirable (behind Grace's back) and their mother is hardcore repressing them

Despite that I think she's actually a good mom, bc her parents are good, (despite being preachy and overly prudy) and Max is a good dad, he has some trauma from his fucked up childhood, but she stops him from repeating those mistakes

Grace says Ruth is in hell bc she's bisexual, it's not the bi she has a problem with, it's the sexual, she's chill with lgbtq

Grace is convinced she and Steph are besties, she makes Steph her maid of honor, and Steph (shockingly) has her as a bridesmaid

The HolyGhost kids call them "Auntie Steph" and "Uncle Pete", idk about the lautski kids

All the HolyGhost kids (I'm imagining there's probably 3) are all named after biblical figures, at the insistence of Grace, Max made her choose more "normal" biblical names though, bc he doesn't want them to be bullied

Grace is the matriarch of the family, Max is the type of dad to say yes or "ask your mother" for everything

Max loves teaching his kids sports and "manly" skills he has, like building stuff, he loves football and fixing/making things around the house

Ruth also had a crush on Grace

I saw a few Alive!Max AUs where he's nice and some where he's mean - I would like to propose a happy medium of Max is still a fucking nightmare, except for those 5 nerds, those are his nerds and nobody fucks with them

In one universe Max and Grace do help each other unpack their fucked up trauma and become an actual healthy normal couple

Just one

In every other universe one or both of them are murderers and they have a very complicated relationship

Grace makes the first move bc really Max is waiting for her bc he has no clue when she'll think they're "ready" or "old enough"

In some timelines went to Abstinence Camp for her, in 90% of timelines where he did this - he was murdered

Max vs Gabe

"i've never wanted kids" by Ethan Jewell, a much chiller Max song for a good HolyGhost timeline

They're still totally toxic and evil/fucked up in every universe (except for the aforementioned one), I just like Max being so whipped for Grace they borderline healthy in this one area

Grace kills parents of kids who hurt her kids, or were bad influences

I loved the idea from someone who said that Max would be one of the corrupt cops - 100%

Ruth writes copious amounts of fanfics and smut, she actively sends them to Richie and Pete to proofread/read, it's awful

Grace invites the gang over to her house all the time, they all hate it but they go anyway

Her parents love everyone except for Steph and Max

Grace allows herself 1 guilty pleasure: murder novels, that's one of the reasons she knew what to do with Max's corpse, she secretly fantasizes about enacting her righteousness on everyone and murdering those who she deems unworthy - like at the end of npmd

Steph and Pete regularly bring flowers to Ruth and Richies graves

The first time Grace and Max had sex was on their wedding night, and it was the most awkward, weird, sex Max ever had bc Grace had no actual idea what she was doing, he still loved it though, and everytime following got more and more normal and good

It didn't occur to him that he "accomplished his goal" until a week after the honeymoon when Max met up with some friends and they congratulated him and tried to get him to hookup with some girls from the bar, he tried to cheat twice but gave up halfway through flirting both times

Max drinks a ton of beer, whisky if he's feeling fancy, shots if he's being wild, Grace thinks alcohol's a sin and only drinks non-alcoholic drinks and communion wine, if she did drink it's be white wine though

Ted gives Pete a ton of dating/sex advice, not long after getting with Steph, he realizes most of it's bullshit

Ruth has a pornhub and ao3 account

Richie has a deviantart account

Both have tumblr accounts

Grace thinks social media is a sin, but she uses her platforms to push her "causes" like cancelling homecoming

In the Max!Lives AU Max is horribly supportive of all of Richies art endeavors (I imagine he tries a lot of mediums: video, paint, digital, music, ect) and threatens the drama teacher to give Ruth a big part

Grace is so mad that her plan didn't work and now Max is closer to her than ever

I can see Grace either being an activist, a church secretary (or some other role in the church), or a stay at home mom

Steph does get pregnant at 19, with Pete, before she's married, Grace freaks the fuck out, Steph aborts the baby (with Pete's support ofc), undecided whether Grace would love her avoiding teen pregnancy or being prolife and thinking Steph's going to hell, I personally hope it's the former but with Grace it could be the latter

Pete becomes something really smart, like a mathematician or scientist, he definitely has his PhD, Steph loves to tease him and call him "Doctor"

Steph I could see being a teacher or guidance councilor, it would also be funny if she went into politics against her father

Richie and Ruth idk what they'll do, I could see Ruth being something technical in the theater world and dreaming of her break as talent, and Richie being a tech guy at a small firm/CCRP or maybe an filmmaker or something could be cool

Ruth either Ugly Ducklings and is a drop dead gorgeous adult or is the opposite and never gets more attractive (even after losing the headgear)

Max has so many pet names and nicknames for Grace, she calls him Max, occasionally Babe, or if they're in private and she's being especially affectionate, Maxie

Max and Richie are really good friends (in Max!Lives), he's definitely "Uncle Richie"

Also, Blue Tips Richie is canon

That's all I have for rn, these are just a string of random thoughts, idk if any of them are good lol, but tell me your guys' headcannons and ideas for AUs and other timelines and Max!Lives shit.

(To be clear on the difference: AU's are alternate universes, where something major is different, other timelines are the Hatchetfield world (bc we know theres already at least 4-5 timelines) where something happens different, Max!Lives is a specific timeline where he doesn't die)

Bully sketch dump 3 + crops

I'm flying out so since I can't take my tablet with me I'm releasing all my captive sketches into the wild *magic hand gesturing*

(Thanks to @/bidisaster-peanut-romano for instigating Tad & Parker besties hc with me. I sob every time)

[r1ch1e-l1psh1tz]

Do you guys think that the Peter, Richie, and Ruth make slide shows about their special interests and present them to each other? Because I sure do (they’re so neurodivergent I love them).

[ladybug-labyrinth]

grace hc i just knowwww she took piano lessons when she was little. i know it i feel it in my soul she was made to take them. also i know she got so fucking mad when she messed up or couldn't get something first try. she ragequit piano so hard and so often that her parents just. stopped making her practice after a while.

[moonmoonthecrabking]

[rentumblsstuff]

[lillazyboithings]

I AM BACK BABY, BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH A BRAINROT JUST FOR YOU

Anyways uhm, ponies, yuh, they were the only thing I've been thinking about besides exam and clearance stress HAHAHAHA

[rockrosethistle]

I can't draw but (here we go again) if I could I would produce a drawing of Richie Lipschitz wearing a graphic t-shirt that says "My uncle is a BISEXUAL ✨millennial✨ with AUTISM who 🔥HATES🔥 MUSICALS and I love him SO MUCH. 🫶"

Paul spat out his coffee when he saw it.

[miss-constelia]

Max forbidding Kyle from dating Brenda but instead of being for my claugerman shipping reasons, is because Brenda drunkenly confessed to Max that she was a lesbian.

Max just forbids Kyle from dating her, but never explains the reason because he finds it so fucking funny Kyle embarrassing himself trying to flirt with Brenda.

Jason also knows, but is forbidden to say anything and he just biting his fist everytime Kyle dreamily talks about Brenda.

jon matteson characters family reunion. richie is ignoring everyone and blasting japanese nightcore on his airpods. roman is here and acting disgusted at the food while linda boasts about her kids (said kids are currently causing mayhem that will probably end in tears). paul has brought emma with him and is on the verge of a nervous breakdown. boy jerry is trying to give him a pep talk on how to propose so he can "do the do" with emma (bj recommends a walk in the woods). the hatchetman bursts in at one point. daniel lost track of time and decided it wasn't worth showing up. gary is happy to be a part of something like he was with the wiggly cult but nobody likes him. wiggly watches for a while then shows up in human form to cause more mayhem, nobody knows who he is, why he looks like them or why he speaks like a toddler but he's freaky and may or may not be on the verge of murder. fun times.
