“boohoo, why isn’t LauraxMax more popular than LauraxTravis, Laura and Max are canon after all-”
Max is fucking boring. He exists to be bitten to kickstart the game’s events and propel Laura’s story forward, and then remains unhelpful and moping for the majority of the rest of his screentime, which is only about 20 minutes in total of a 10+ hour game.
you get to play as him for literally a minute and a half, where he can be instantly killed off or just stands on a dock and waits...and that’s the end of his story. you can only get an ending where he and Laura reunite that involves Ryan dying for literally no reason and Laura murdering Travis, when he hasn’t shown her any aggression and was trying to deescalate everything happening in chapter 9. and that also leaves the curse still intact and potentially several counselors infected and doomed with no knowledge how to cure themselves and no one left to actively try and hunt Silas to free them all. such a great, happy ending...
also, if you want content for a ship, nothing is stopping you from making your own or commissioning someone else to do it for you. that sounds like a You problem if you’re not finding enough content for the “canon couple” that you think should be more recognized and is so much more interesting in your eyes...
#i think you'll find the reason LauraxMax is so sparse is genuinely no one cares about them all that much#they get tagged in fics to be relegated to the background or barely even discussed so the numbers on Ao3 alone aren't right lol#TravisxLaura and RyanxLaura have infinitely more chemistry and are more interesting dynamics than anything Max offers#almost no one ever says 'Max is my favorite character' because you legit spend the least amount of time with him out of everyone#and even in the background of Laura's chapters he provides nothing about himself except that he's dead weight to her#he sometimes makes jokes and is sarcastic. he is resigned to his fate and offers no help to Laura who is actively trying to find solutions#he lied to her about being accepted to grad school...which isn't healthy at all in a relationship these people tout as being 'pure'&'good'#guess what: every single character has flaws and every single relationship - romantic or platonic or familial - in the game is flawed#also also: learn not to tag your stupid vent posts so it doesn't appear in the tags where people are looking for actual content <3

If you decide not to post this, that's fine, but I feel like this needs to be said, and this is also me venting a little. I am a fan of JA like you, HC, but I also don't worship him blindly, also like you. I can apply critical thinking and rationale, look at a situation objectively, and utilize whatever basic knowledge I have of the industry JA is in. Also like you. Whatever I don't know, I am willing to learn, and usually do not chime in to the conversation, making myself appear as if I do.
So some of these anons you get really just ultimately frustrate me and make it a little bit of struggle to keep up with your blog (which I love). While I understand they are just sharing their opinions, sometimes I look at the things they say and wonder just how they connect these certain dots in their particular thought process. For example: JA did an interview with Mens' Health to keep up with Jared? For real? What an insult to Jared, first off, and how does this interview have anything to do with him? Actors do interviews/PR pieces - it's all a part of promotion. Promotion for their projects and sometimes for the actors themselves. This is most likely something his PR team set up to keep him relevant after The Boys hype died down once the season ended and he would be off shooting a new show. While it might have been more time appropriate to have this interview come out when The Boys Season 3 started streaming or even during the middle of the season, it also depends on where MH was at and the booking/scheduling of said interview. And this is definitely something his PR team booked because it's obviously a PR piece. (just look at his interview video for example and the fact that JA also shared it himself on social media) My point is this interview had absolutely nothing to do with Jared at all. Leave Jared out of it.
We always talk about AA's and how they can never leave Jared alone, no matter what JA says or does, even if Jared isn't involved because they love to hate on Jared (they do). But stating something like this, this anon has to ask themselves, why can't I leave Jared alone either? Why do I constantly have to bring him into something that has nothing to do with him? Let the man be and live his life in peace! Stop adding to the problem. Because guaranteed some AA is going to see that (they definitely keep up with this blog and others like it and the anti JA tags as well as the JA critical tags) and start more bullshit about Jared, yet again. They're probably already doing that shit, but why contribute to it?
Think about that.
Jared's living his best life, he seems happier, and he's been staying busy. Basically, he's kicking ass and taking names. He has his own career. JA appears to be trying to do the same, even if he doesn't always go about it in a way that we like or necessarily agree with (hence the JA criticisms). Don't be like an AA. Don't keep pushing them back together in certain arenas that neither of them are together in, especially if you don't have a basic understanding of how the industry they are in works. Don't keep pushing that ridiculous and hateful AA narrative. Don't keep the stupid fandom drama going. Leave Jared be, please.
Thank you for this beautifully thought out post, Anon. I agree, people need to be more grounded and stop attacking Jared every two seconds for everything Jensen does. Worst of all, they try to blame Jared stans for everything too, as if Jensen wasn't his own person and neither were his fans. One sided views show a lack of mental balance and AAs have that in abundance. Besides, these posts are on my blog and I am predominantly a Jensen girl even though I love both so people need to stop blaming Jared fans. However, I should also point out that people need to realize that when you look for reasons to be offended you will find them and you will be triggered by anything because your mind will make certain associations. Not everyone that writes in about Jensen and Jared has bad intentions or evil reasons to compare the two so let's also be mindful of that or we risk becoming just like AAs, one sided and limited.
I, for one, think both are uniquely beautiful in their own way and love them both very much. They are both successful but on different paths and through different brands. The most beautiful thing about them is the way they support each other, too bad some of their fans choose to degrade that by being spiteful and childish.
