I know we’re all talking about this clip BUT I NEED TO FUCKING TALK ABOUT THIS CLIP
ITS SOOOOO FUCKING GOOD I LOVE JON MATTESON SO MUCH AND WILL BRANNER EATS THOSE NOTES UP
The fucking switch from the super loud and emotionally intense I’M NOT A LOSER to the fucking tiny don’t kill me is so fucked up i love it
I’ve not shut the fuck up about this specific scene for like two other posts but I felt the need to actually post the clip
Also it is hot that he immediately starts repeating it just because he’s told to by a dominant force, let alone the person who’s about to murder him and I’m tired of pretending it’s not- sue me I don’t make the rules I just love pathetic men
Here's all my Nerdy Prude Must Die paintings in one set! These teens live rent free in my head for all eternity. I think i have the show memorized at this point for how much I watched it while doing these.
Yes I redid Richie's painting Don't look at me . (and shout out to @to-our-own-fairytale for the banger quote suggestion)
Edit: By popular demand, I have added these as prints to my store! Find them here!
Richie's death gets worse the longer you think about it. The show opens with Richie running and screaming, implying that he was running through the halls begging for help, never able to find anyone. And we know Max was just toying around with him. In the locker room scene, Max closed off the exits and let Richie be completely, utterly terrified and trapped. He eventually decided to reopen the doors and let Richie run just to give him a false sense of hope before killing him in a frankly gruesome way. He wanted to see Richie running and pleading and begging, and Max was having fun with it the entire time.
The scene is terrifying. Max was written to be terrifying. And Will and Jon pulled SO MUCH weight in both the opening scene and the whole locker room scene and made it all so real.
"So please help me fight these ghosts that I still see / past rivals, sure they got the best of me"
Inspired by the song "Ghosts" By Mariah Rose Faith Casillas, this is a piece that I dislike. It took far too long and I couldn't incorporate my lettering into the concept correctly. The line work (arguably the most fun part of this) was heavily inspired by the Boom! Studios Buffy comics.
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."
