Best Polyamorous Ship Round 5

[incorrecthatchetfield]

Pete: Hey, Max. Are you wearing your running bottoms and your hoodie?

Steph: Max, are you going running?

Grace: Have fun.

Max: *leaves*

Ruth: Oh, my God. What is wrong with Max, Grace?

Steph: Yeah, what happened? Are you guys okay?

Grace: Max is going for a run. If anything, we should be asking what is right with Max.

Ruth: He only goes running if he's upset. And he's wearing his sad hoodie. And by the looks of it, it's been washed, which is bone-chilling.

Grace: He's fine. Everything's okay.

Richie: *barges into the room* I just passed Max on the street running, on purpose! Oh, my God!

Grace: Maybe I was wrong.

Richie: *yelling out the window* Max Jagerman! Are you okay?! I see you! And I love you!

Grace: In my defense, no one here emotes in a normal way

Pete: That's fair

[24-guy]

heyhey idk if you still want mitchie requests but if so, what about like a role swap? like english nerd max jägerman and swim captain or head cheerleader richie lipschitz? or maybe they’re just doing it as like a costume? idk just seemed fun

It absolutely IS a fun idea. And because of that. You get full role swap. Because oh my god I had so much fun. Steph and Pete got the short end of the stick with the swap but that’s because I think the idea of Steph being the villain is too fun to pass up. I hope its to your liking, though. And the thumbnail sketch at the top is actually so good I might make a full version of it.

Grace

[affo-gatto-gateau]

I love the nerd x LiBs aus where each nerd gets to become/be possessed by and whatnot by a lord, but also, I have a very different line up than most people have so I just wanna talk about it

And of course, no hate to other interpretations, I love them and you can pry Wiggly!Richie from my cold dead hands, but also I haven't seen anyone else with the same idea so I kind of want to share it

First up:

Blinky!Ruth

I think this one fits nicely (well, not nicely, per se, but I'll get to that) with her role in canon. She's always the watcher. She does the tech, and watches on high from her booth, never actually appearing in the show, just influencing it from the outside. She tries hard to be a part of it, but she just can't due to her debilitating anxiety. And wouldn't it just be heartbreaking if she found out one day that her aspirations had just evaporated? That she doesn't want the spotlight anymore?

Pokey!Grace

Grace is the one to take control. When Pete gets hurt, she's the one to make plans to get back at Max. When he dies, she is the one orchestrating the coverup. She expects everyone to follow her, to sing to her tune, and anything even suggesting they might have fallen out of line she takes harshly. But Pokey's not the cleverest, and Grace's plans don't really work out. She knows what she wants, but well-thought-out plans are not her forte.

But that brings me to:

Wiggly!Steph

Because Steph knows people. Her dad is mayor, she knows politics. She's the one that takes charge when Grace's plans fail, and the one that bargains with Wiggly in canon. Steph knows how to use her power to get her way, and I think with a little eldritch motivation, she could be a great vessel for Wiggly

Alright, now the two I have the shakier justifications for (but c'mon, all of this is really an elaborate way of me saying that I just think it would be neat)

Nibbly!Pete

As much as I know Tinky would like a Spankoffski, Pete just doesn't have the same energy as Tinky. He's a lot more muted, less manic. Plus, you can tie Nibbly into Pete's need to keep his blood sugar high. He needs to feast, goddammit!

Tinky!Richie

You know who I think can match Tinky's energy? Richie. He's a math nerd who would go on hour-long rants about his favourite characters. And you know he unironically dressed like Tinky's human form in middle school (he thought it looked cool)

Anyway, those are just my thoughts.

<3

[madsthebat]

do you have any random headcanons for any hatchetfield characters? :3 (I'd love to hear any HCs about the nerds but ofc it's up to you!)

Oooooh buddy do I have EXTENSIVE headcanons for you! I’ll just do some of mine for NPMD, but I also have extensive ones for TGWDLM, Black Friday, and the Nightmare Time characters! If anyone would be interested in those I’d be super happy to share em :>

Here’s just a few random ones I have:

Steph has ADHD and dyscalculia and/or dyslexia, which makes learning in a traditional environment really difficult for her. She drinks copious amounts of caffeine to self medicate, because she’s undiagnosed and can’t get meds.

Pete is a type 1 diabetic, and struggles extremely with hypoglycemia. He keeps sweets on him full time to combat this, and so does Steph just in case he needs it. He also hates changing his dexcom and used to have to be held down by Ted while having it changed as a kid.

Ruth had a very intense Hamilton phase, and can still rap along to 90% of the musical flawlessly. She also wrote copious amounts of fanfic about it as well (she was a notorious Thomas Jefferson x Alexander Hamilton shipper).

Richie is THE BIGGEST tumblr kid. He harrassed Ruth with the Miku Binder Thomas Jefferson art, and has drawn so much cursed fanart to plague her with. He’s also a great artist and does art commissions online as a side gig to fuel his anime figurine collection.

Grace is actually very big into sustainability. That’s why she rides her bike everywhere. She always tries to shop local, reuse anything and everything, recycles what she can, uses reusable bags and water bottles, etc. She frequents the farmer’s market in the spring, summer, and fall and buys her mom fresh flowers once a week.

Max would rather die than admit this to anyone, but he actually is really into photography. He has a polaroid camera he keeps hidden and periodically he goes out by himself and takes pictures with it. If it wasn’t for the image he’s had crafted for himself, he’d probably pursue it as a career.

Best Polyamorous Ship Group 4 Round 1

[incorrecthatchetfield]

Pete: so what do you say Grace? are we your X-men?

Grace: no. Richie told me that the X-men were named for the "X" in Charles Xavier; since I'm Grace Chasity, you will be my C-men

Steph: *face palm*

Ruth: *chokes on air*

Richie: *puts head in his hands*

Pete: Ooooo that's not a good name

[rentumblsstuff]

Back to the NPMD x Monster High AU, a couple more things:

I would like to rescind my Werecat Brenda in favor of Nighthawk Harpy Brenda. Yes, I know I made Kyle a werewolf to parallel Brenda being a werecat but I also have a better offer for Kyle too: Yeti, which is why he still holds a grudge against Max for wrecking his dad’s ski-doo.

I have so many thoughts on Vampire Grace. She was born a normie and is a recently turned vampire (maybe even a vampire hunter that failed on an outing and was turned by her prey). She’s having trouble coping with her religion now that she’s a monster and constantly wears turtlenecks like the one she wears in Perky’s Buds to cover up her bite marks. She tried still wearing her cross necklace as a show of rejecting this new form, trying to embrace the pain of having the cross so close because she thought that loving Jesus even when she’s a form of half-demon would make herself better than other Christians, but it hurt way too badly for her to handle so now she just says she wears it underneath her sweater. Jason was born a vampire and wants to help her through her dysphoria but Grace won’t accept anyone treating her like she’s a vampire (even though she is). She does like the part about eating flesh and drinking blood- it’s what Jesus says to do with himself, so in a way, she’s making everyone she eats a little more Christ-like. That’s her thought process, at least. She also still pretends to be human around her parents and normie best friend Gabe. Gabe may or may not know that she’s a vampire though and wants to seduce her so she can turn him too.

In High School is Killing Me, the lyric is now changed to “Fuck you, biteology.”

Max’s Jekyll form is human (Max), but his Hyde form looks like his ghost (The Jagerman).

Stachie is soooo canon because Richie loves swimming but as a werecat Stacy refuses to get in the water and they feel like their romance is especially forbidden because of it. If Richie didn’t love the water so much, he’d wish he was a werecat too because he also wants to be a pretty little kitty meow meow

Ethan, Lex, and Hannah also went there obviously and Ethan was a ghost á la Jonny Spirit and Lex and Hannah are both spider people. You know tf why lol

Ruth is a lot like Frankie Stein in that she flirts with a lot of people but they Do. Not. Flirt. Back. Rather than solid stripes, her sweater looks more like lightning bolts and the mushroom design is a little creepier than just an Amanita.

A lot of the smoke club are also nighthawk harpies (because they like eating the weed) (including Deb) and so a lot of people assume Brenda is also in the smoke club. She isn’t. Monster high typical speciesism mixed with Hatchetfield High typical bullying regardless of social hierarchy.

The Woodwards are flytraps and that’s why Alice doesn’t smoke- plants don’t do that to other plants. This is often a point of contention between Deb and Alice even though they try to pretend it isn’t an issue

Steph’s secretly embarrassed about her decay so she always makes sure her wraps are FRESH, but the rest of her outfit is always her jagged hand-cut crop tops and ripped jeans. Her decay spread to her scalp and forehead and everyone knows better than to say something about the wraps on her forehead or how she always wears a beanie but Pete accidentally tells her he thinks it makes her look even cooler. Swooning ensues because nobody dares address her flaws, much less say she’s cooler for having them.

Steph secretly wishes Pete had a corporeal form because her love language is physical touch and she’s sad she’ll never be able to hold him. (Kind of like how Cleo is sad she’ll never get to look Deuce in the eyes).

Sophia/Spitfire as a background character fire elemental is a MUST.

The janitor is a crazy man who lives in the catacombs under the school and is possessed by what the student body can only assume is a goat demon and Peter Geist feels weirdly like he knows him.

Rosary as Claire Rosary as Claire Rosary as Claire-

Pete has also died recently as one of The Jagerman’s attacks when he was out of control, and he’s new to the school along with Grace. He’s stuck in this dorky outfit he wore so he wouldn’t get bullied and can never change clothes, but at least he’s impossible to punch unless if another spirit tried to attack him. As opposed to Grace in life, he was very interested in the supernatural (one of his special interests) so he knows quite a bit about monster types but is always hungry to learn more about the new world he found himself un-living in

nerdycule keeps me going here are my personal hc’s

ruth is dating everyone. sorry about it they just are. and she is SO happy about it. her happiest moments are when they’re all on the couch together in some weird bear pile watching trashy TV, or in the car all squished together singing along to the radio. i also 100% believe ruth is the one who introduced the idea in the first place.

pete is dating steph, richie, and ruth. they’re constantly ganging up on him with affectionate teasing, but gush about how much they adore him to eachother. i also think pete prefers to have one-on-one time with everyone rather than always being altogether. + them and grace have more of a queerplatonic relationship, although she accompanies him on dates with steph frequently because….

steph is dating pete, grace, and ruth. they really like having group dates, experimenting with the different chemistry and affection between multiple pairings. shes such a variety is the spice of life girly. like, study dates with pete & grace vs the movies with ruth & pete vs ice cream with grace & ruth are all different, equally fulfilling feelings of love for her. and richie is just their bro honestly they are so platonic to me. there is not any less love there i just think they are the bestest buddies who share a boyfriend and girlfriends.

speaking of, richie is dating ruth, pete, and grace. OKAY HEAR ME OUT I KNOW RICHIE X GRACE IS A LITTLE UNUSUAL. BUT. i think richie likes grace’s intensity & passion and grace likes richie’s creativity and- let’s be real- submissive nature. at first they were not into eachother at all, no interest either way. but, as the group as a whole spent more time together, they found it easy to talk to one another, both blunt and a little awkward. plus come on the bible sounds like an insane anime story sometimes doesn’t it? ANYWAYS! him ruth and pete are kind of inseparable and he spends time w grace separately. i see it clearly.

finally, grace is dating steph, ruth, and richie. not surprisingly, it took some convincing to get her on board. not as much as you’d expect though. grace had been plagued by adoring thoughts about steph for a while, and felt extremely guilty about it since she was dating pete. when the idea was brought up, grace’s instinct was to shut it down, call it hedonistic or dirty. then as ruth explained further, the different types of love and ways to experience it in polyamorous relationships, something clicked for her. realizing how happy each of these people made her, how loved she felt by them. so, she went along with it. of course, it still took her a while to participate, she had to observe first. grace meticulously planned for a sit down with steph, to have a very serious conversation about her feelings. but before she built up the courage, steph casually asked her to go out to dinner. telling her to wear something nice with a flirty smile, she left grace a short-circuiting mess.

but, thanks to the group’s support and love as a whole, she’s become more comfortable with a wide spectrum of her emotions, attractions, and relationships. all of them have. they are good for eachother. really good.

(p.s. : richie is also dating jason and ruth is also dating caitlyn 💘💘thanks

p.s part 2 : this might be kinda ooc but im just having fun im imagining a world where they have semi normal lives and help each other emotionally mature and find happiness yay!!!)
