HEHEHEHEHEH YEA YESYEYSYEY I CAN I MIGHT BE THE ONLY ONE ON THSI HELLSITE WHOS AUTISM ABOUT THIS BOOK BUT I AM A I MAN FANDOM!!!! THANK YOUTHINK UOU!!!!

Bingo!!

Btw he is from a book called The Replacement by Brenna Yovanoff, its based off of the legend of "changeling" which in celtic mythology are when fea have a sickly child, they steal a human baby and replace it with there fucked up sick fea kid (different stories say different things on what they do with the human babies after, some they eat the kids or kill them some they just raise the kids)

In the book Mackie (MC) is a changeling, as a baby his fea parents left him and stole the REAL mackie as a baby (his family knows) most changelings die very soon after being left, but rarely babies like Mackie grow up. (Theres also a plot line of "the changelinges have to be loved to not die" and it was his older sister who loves him so much even though she knows hes not her bio brother that her love for her adopted brother is enough to keep him alive and holy sit as someone with 4 step siblings i would die for thay feels liek a gut punch in the best way possible) it also shows him struggling to survive in a human world as something that will just never be fully human so matter how hard he tries (soooooo autism coded man) and ofc because its a YA novel about a teen boy he gets be become a rockstar half way through the book <3

And original for anyone that made it this far!

i love rereading ya i liked as a teenager bc like. brenna yovanoff remains a good writer but this is the gayest shit i’ve ever read and it’s, as far as i can tell, not intentional

You presume to name those who have no name. We are pandemonium and disaster. We are the dancing, gibbering horror of the world.

I’ve shared my fave quotes from this book below.

"Looking into his eyes is like looking into a metaphor, something by T. S. Eliot or Oscar Wilde. It’s the ocular equivalent of every smart, cynical poem. Every book I’ve ever enjoyed in secret". - Waverly

“He tried to give me something honest, something true. He said love, but there’s a part of me that still insists in cool, clinical tones that he can’t possibly mean it, and even if he did, I’m not mechanically designed to take it". - Waverly

“I wish you could put your hand on my heart and feel it,” he whispers. “I wish you knew exactly how much I’m not going to hurt you.” I picture it—surgical, gory, distinctly unromantic—and stop tracing. Science Waverly, reaching into a gaping chest, lifting a bloody heart in one latex-gloved hand and fighting the urge to squeeze. I have never once worried about how much something will hurt". - Waverly

“His body softens, forming to my contours, filling in the jagged mountain range that constitutes my outline. He is molding himself around me, making a space for me that didn’t exist before". - Waverly

“I run on jet fuel and pistons. Even here in the privacy of his car, I am not reachable". - Waverly

Runaway Max thoughts

Suspicious Minds thoughts

Runaway Max is written by Brenna Yovanoff and it’s an official Stranger Things novel. It’s written from the point of view of Max Mayfield and it takes place during season 2(late October-early November 1984). It talks about Max’s family struggles. Don’t forget that this is secondary canon, so don’t take anything from this book as 100% canon.

i just took out some parts of the book i found interesting and wrote them down in bullet points

Max’s mom doesn’t like when she spends money on videogames, so she usually plays them when she’s with her dad

her dad doesn’t have a “real job”, he usually works as repairman or makes fake IDs

he cant keep a job because “theres too many rules for him”, and this makes him super relatable to max, they have a lot in common in general

Max liked Terminator, especially Sarah Connor, but she’s disappointed that no women she knows is badass like her

b4 she met the party, she was skating once and fell, and Joyce was nearby and asked her if everythings okay

when Max met Billy for the first time(in April of 1984), she considered him and his car the coolest thing in the world

when he was being mean to her, at first she thought he’s just teasing her

after her parents got divorced, her dad moved from San Diego to LA

when she heard that they’re moving to Hawkins, she tried to run away to LA

Neil(Billy’s dad) was different that other guys Maxs mom dated, because he had a good income, was good with money, and just seemed nice

they met the bank where both of them worked, he even got her flowers for their first date, which none of her previous boyfriends did

Maxs mom was scared of letting her do “dangerous stuff”, that’s one of the reasons she diverced her dad

the first time she “found out what neil actually is” was three weeks after they got married and they were having dinner together, maxs mom said that max could go to summer camp, but when max said she doesn’t want to go, neil started yelling at her and sent her away from the table. after that billy came over to her and said “a person like him cannot be a dad. not for me, not for you.”

max wanted to bring a halloween mask to school, but billy warned her no one will have one

she likes movies about serial killers, because they could be real(she had michael myers mask for halloween that year)(she would be listening to true crime podcasts okay)

she likes halloween(her second favorite holiday after Christmas) because it makes her feel like shes part of something bigger than herself

when lucas and dustin asked her to join them, she didn’t know if they ment it

her friends in cali were Nate, Ben and Eddie

she likes The Go-Go’s, Beach Boys and Sandals

max admitts that billy sometimes can be fun, for example when he takes her to the car service

max can read emotions orfigure out who’s lying very well

during summer break, billy got arrested bc he and his friends sneaked to a construction site

billy and his friends wayne and sid listen to Metallica and Ratt

once they went to a forest with max and found a dead cat there and made it a “viking funeral”(they set the cat on fire)

when she scared the party during trick-or-treating, it was the first time she laughed since they moved here

will reminds her of her friend nate, the quiet type of person that older guys make fun of

maxs mom is that kind of person that desperately wants to believe everything they say to her, so she gets lied to and scammed very easily(mostly by her boyfriends)

max thinks that making fun of will bc “he came back to life” is stupid, bc if he’d really come back to life, he’d be like a superhero

max cant make friends very well, or to pretend to be friendly

“i was showing off, but sometimes you have to show off so people perceive you as a person, not just another girl”

the book talks about sexism a lot and it has few great thoughts in it, but there are often times parts where max puts down other girls for wearing skirts, for example

once billy gave max a cigarette and her mom got super mad, but didn’t tell neil, not that she was scared of billy, she was scared for billy

the first time max saw neil beat billy, she yelled at him to stop, neil said that he’s disappointed that he raised a son who needs to have a little girl to stand up for himself, so when max offered him help after this, he always sent her away

some of maxs friends started avoiding certain hangout spots because they didn’t want to run into Billy while they’re there with her

billy broke her friends Nates arm when they asked him to leave them alone when they were playing

Billy convinced adults that it was just an accident, that he was “showing him some move that Hulk Hogan does, but his arm slipped and it just happened”

after billy saw max at the arcade with lucas, he ran over her board with his car(if you remember, she was then fixing when lucas came over in the show)

after this, max decided to run away again, while her parents’ll go shopping

but lucas came to their house and told her that he has proof, so she goes with him instead

also, guys, this book is so full of lumax moments, why are they so cute omg

like when max scares the party at halloween, she thinks its “kinda cute” how he got scared

the rest of the book was pretty much just the s2 finale from maxs pov

max thinks nancy so cool(she fucking is)

”i knew that girls can be tough as guys, but i used to think that the only way to achieve that is to be exactly like them. nancy didnt look that she was trying to copy steve or hopper”

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT FUCK MISOGYNY AKFJSJFBAJGNJXF

(about mike)” sometimes, people are just sad, even tho theyre acting like and idiot”

when billy came over and started beating steve, she was the only one who knew how far this could go, so she sedated him

ehhh thats pretty much it

i know that probably the way i wrote this is chaotic and doesnt make much sense

but i liked the book, i read it in one day

thanks for reading

waiting for season 5

have a lovely day

Where did the “creekfiend” handle come from, what’s behind the choices here?

so there's three things

1. there's creatures in Brenna Yovanoff's novel Fiendish that are called creek fiends and I love that book

2. Kuzu used the phrase "like some kind of creek fiend" when describing a dream it had once, and

3. Yamtop was an Absolute Creek Fiend. FIEND FOR CREEKS and other moving bodies of water

so. I just like it. it's good. good imagery good associations

“Do you really want to know where we come from?" she said. "In every century, in every country, they'll call us something different. They'll say we're ghosts, angels, demons, elemental spirits, and giving us a name doesn't help anybody. When did a name change what someone is?” ― Brenna Yovanoff
