so-called "tragedy enjoyer" suddenly feeling heartbreak instead of catharsis or vindication over seeing a character who was always gonna die in the worst way possible die

if there's one thing about classic literary detectives it's that they are not conventionally attractive. doyle told sidney paget to stop drawing holmes so pretty. christie was like "let me introduce you to this short pudgy balding man who is retirement age and i hate him." sayers compares wimsey to maggots on literally the FIRST PAGE
i love it. i love them. stop casting hot people in these roles. we need our detectives to be Charmingly Weird-Looking

if max didn't fall
Since he loved the “party” they threw for him, he shares his beer with everyone (grace of course does not participate)
He finds out that shockingly enough, ruth and him are equally as obsessed with sex when they both scoff and say “watch some porn!!!!”
Pete and steph can’t help glancing at each other as they sip on beer (pete is getting very quickly drunk because he has never had beer even though ted offers him some of his jack at home)
As he gets tipsy he uses stephanie to help him get up, giggling nervously when he brushes her hair off her shoulder showing her neck
Ritchie explains how attack on titan is actually super cool, it has tons of blood and guts and fighting, and that it’s not lame let me you show you a clip
Max smacks his shoulder and calls it “nerd shit” but *does* remember the name, where he will look it up and watch the whole first season in a weekend.
When they get back to school the next day, not much changes for the whole school. Kyle still can’t date brenda, nerds still (overall) are poorly treated.
But it gets better
They can go to the football games (if they don’t cheer for him enough, they may change though)
Theyre allowed to be in the same hallway
He’ll smack them on the shoulders and he does slap peter on the ass but not even close to the level as before
They win the big game (fuck clivesdale!!! Fuck em straight to hell!!)
Max gives ritchie a chest bump and after this he can join the huddle SOMETIMES
Steph and peter celebrate a bit more than they intended (watching it sarcastically right) and may or may not hug and get very flustered when the winning play is made.
Maybe they go study at pasquales for real next time and max shouts “I DID NOT CONSENT TO THIS RENDEZVOUS!!” every time he sees them together.

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!
Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*
Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!
