#max mayfield headcanon

[itsthecherryontop]

I just realized Season 4 happened right before what would have been Billy’s 19th birthday. Max sat in front of his graves 5 days before his birthday reading a goodbye letter. She was already more vulnerable with the permanent reminder that her stepbrother would never be older that 18 approaching and Vecna used it to his advantage. Max’s isolation and depression hurt a lot more when realizing that no one else likely knew it was Billy’s birthday soon. None of them understood her grief anyways.

[steddieasitgoes]

Okay but Max waking up from her coma, only to learn that she’ll probably never regain all her strength in her legs.

Lucas and the boys totally think this is the end of the world, especially since she loves skateboarding so much (and let’s be honest it’s a small town, they’re bound to be slightly ableist mostly out of naivety), meanwhile Max is already doing sprints in her wheelchair down the hospital hallways while El times her.

A few weeks later, she’s pulling her first wheelie and the boys and El are all cheering her on. Lucas might also be watching through his hands — he’s definitely going to go gray before 30 because of his girlfriend, but he loves her so much he doesn’t care.

One of the first things she does when she’s fully recovered is go to the skatepark. She gets a lot of weird looks from the skaters, but she ignores them all and rolls into the pool just like she’s done a million times before. It’s one of the happiest moments of her life.

Fast forward to her early twenties and Max is the number one girl in the wheelchair BMX (WBMX) world. She’s better in her wheelchair than she ever was on a skateboard and she’s happier too.

Nothing will ever slow down this Zoomer.

Disclaimer: As someone who does not use a mobility aid, please call me out if any part of this is ableist!

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

Do u have any trans masc Max Mayfield headcanons?

I haven’t thought much about it but now I have so MANY thoughts!

-Max hasn’t had a lot of positive relationships with the men in his life, so it takes a long while for the “hm I don’t feel quite right” to click. He doesn’t feel super comfortable as a girl, but he looks at his step-dad and Billy and is like “well I don’t want to be anything like that, so this has to be okay.”

-He definitely knows more about gender/sexuality stuff than the others because of growing up in California. So he’s thought a lot about it over the years, but just kept coming to the conclusion that he’s a tomboy (again, no positive relationships with men.)

-It’s actually because of Lucas (and the rest of the Party, by extension) that he really starts to get more comfortable with the idea. Because Lucas is sweet, and he’s gentle, and so unlike any of the other men he’s been around. Lucas is the first person that kind of cracks his view on gender roles and what exactly defines a man.

-He butts heads with Mike a lot at first just because of how insistent Mike is about him being a girl, how he’s different and unwelcome because of it, but (if this is also transmasc Mike) they realize they’re actually really similar and grow closer because of it, or (if this isn’t transmasc Mike) Max realizes that it isn’t the “girl” thing that bothers him, it’s the fear of replacing El.

-If it’s both transmasc Max and transmasc Mike, Mike comes out WAY earlier than he would’ve on his own.

-The boys are all really supportive when he comes out (which would probably be around the season 3 era). They don’t really get it at first, but he’s their friend, and they’ve always been very vocal about how they’d kill for a friend if needed. And really, seeing Max as a boy isn’t all that different from what they were doing already, so it’s an easy adjustment.

-In a similar fashion to Max teaching El about being a girl in the show, the guys take him out on a “boys only” night. It isn’t really any different than their usual hangouts- they go to the movies, play video games, eat way too much junk food, but the boys only title makes Max feel all fuzzy and warm inside.

-He comes out to Billy while he’s dying. He didn’t ever really plan on doing it at all, but his step-brother is dying in his arms and he needs to get it off his chest before it’s too late. Billy is a lot of the reason it took so long for him to feel comfortable as himself, and he thinks Billy knows that once it’s out in the air. Unfortunately, Billy’s dead before he can really give much of a reaction, just a weak little “I’m sorry.” And that’s nowhere near enough to make up for everything.

-He comes out to his family that night in a screaming match with his step-dad. Neil is an asshole about it, but it doesn’t really matter because the whole argument starts because he’s gonna leave them. Susan is incredibly supportive, and she turns around and kicks Neil out even though she’d been begging him to stay moments before. Gives Max one of those big, therapeutic hugs where Max just sobs into her shirt.

-Max cuts his hair off after Billy’s death. He’s never had a problem with his hair, he actually likes it long, but he’s messed up over everything that happened. He leans a lot more into the stereotypes he hated as a kid, acts rougher and more stand-offish. He breaks up with Lucas, stops hanging out with the rest of his friends. He feels awful, because this is the first time in his life that he’s only surrounded by people that support and love him, but he feels like he doesn’t deserve it.

-(Vecna has a field day with all that)

-Post canon, he does grow his hair back out again. Lucas dramatically informs him that men with long hair are hot (bi king), to which Max shoots back that that would mean Mike was hot. Lucas gives Mike a quick once over and is like I mean, yeah.

-Lucas likes to greet people and go hi, yes, this is my boyfriend Max. He’s so cool. He pretty much single-handedly saved Hawkins that one time. And Max stands there with his face bright red in his hands like oh my god shut up

-Lumax and Byler double dates with an obnoxious amount of homo, striking fear into the hearts of conservative smalltown Indiana

YES I love this sorry for making it angst near the end but yes yes transmasc Max I love him💞

[dwobbitfromtheshire]

What if Neill Hargrove moved Max and them to Hawkins to try and bribe Max's birth father for money, but it didn't work? Steve’s father traveled a lot. What if he happened to visit California a few times? Susan stuck her kid in an abusive situation, so it's quite possible she hadn't been faithful to her first husband. What of Steve is Max's half-brother, and they just don't know it?

Based on this post

[targayrenss]

I know many people hate the concept of Eddie and Reader living together where they have kids or treat the kids like their children

BUT I DON'T CARE,I LOVE IT.

You've known Eddie since your first year together, you started dating at the end of first year and since then you've been inseparable (literally)

Basically you lived with him and his uncle, you had your own house of course but you only went when you needed specific things, as the years went by your room was almost completely empty

While Eddie's room had more and more stuff every day

You were basically husband and wife now

You had never thought about having kids, Eddie was repeating his last year for the third time and you worked at the beauty salon in town, you were still living with your uncle even though you could buy a house for both of you.

It wasn't until Eddie adopted some new kids that you really started to question yourself.

Did you want kids with Eddie?

You loved him a lot, you both had a little plan about getting married as soon as he graduated, but starting a family was something different and more serious, you were almost married which wouldn't be much different from your day to day life, the only difference would be a ring on your finger.

But a baby in your belly, it was terrifying.

His new friends from freshman year weren't babies but seeing Eddie being an authority figure for those kids, shit, baby fever had hit you.

But unbeknownst to you it hadn't only hit you, a certain metalhead had been infected.

You were so domestic always taking care of him and his uncle, he never knew how you did it but you always had dinner ready even though you only left thirty minutes before him from work.

The trailer was always clean, you took one or two days a week to clean his room.

You did all that work and still had time to spoil your redhead neighbor, Max Mayfield had earned a place in both of your hearts.

The boys had told Eddie everything Max had suffered, the death of her brother, her stepfather abandoning her mother and her leaving them homeless and penniless, the little money her mother earned she spent on alcohol

Eddie understood her situation very well

When Eddie told you all that you couldn't avoid it but feel a great feeling of having to help her

One day you were watering the few plants in the yard when you saw her sitting on the stairs of her trailer.

“Hey Max!” You greeted her with a smile, you motioned for her to come closer and she, a little confused, obeyed you

“Have you had breakfast yet?”

A little embarrassed, she avoided your gaze as she answered with a simple “no”

“Do you want to come in and make pancakes? Eddie is still asleep and I don’t like eating breakfast alone”

Both of you had cooked breakfast that morning, you told her a little about yourself since the only thing she knew about you was that you were Eddie’s girlfriend.

Eddie had woken up to the sound of laughter in the kitchen, he smile as watch them laugh with their mouths full of pancakes

After that day you basically adopted Max, she would go to have breakfast with you and then go with Eddie to school, when she arrived she would immediately enter your trailer (only after having greeted his mom), sometimes she would help you prepare dinner if it wasn’t ready yet, other times preferred to throw himself on the couch with Eddie.

At night you would ask her what she wanted for lunch tomorrow and then you accompany her to her trailer

You loved Max very much and she loved them both too (but she was too rude to admit it)

[harringroveera]

AU where Steve and Billy are in a school play together?

[itsthecherryontop]

Per Neil’s request Billy stands on a ladder stringing up Christmas lights with a reddened nose and ears from the Hawkins winter. He grumbles as he reaches up to hook the strand into place. This was a waste of time and was the last thing he wanted to do. He’d much rather be inside where it was warm.

Max rolls her eyes as she stands below him bundled up as she quietly passed him the lights. She’s been listening to him curse about missing California like it was her fault he didn’t want to wear a hat because it would ruin his hair.

Afterwards they silently stood in front of the house inspecting the multicolored strand lining of the roof.

“This is stupid,” Billy complains as he smokes a cigarette. He thought they helped provide warmth.

“You’re stupid,” Max automatically replied. She could see the nearly hidden smile on his face as she glanced up at him.

They wouldn’t admit it but the house looked nice with a slightly crooked string of lights.

What If Billy Hargrove Had Survived Season 3

I always find myself being drawn back to the "what ifs” of this situation.

How would he change physically, emotionally, and mentally due to everything?

How would he go about apologizing to the others for the season 2 events (maybe he would even find himself explaining his reasons—regardless of if they were right or wrong. Maybe he wouldn’t explain it to all of them--because I doubt he would-- but I could see him explaining it to Max, possibly even Steve and/or Lucas. Mostly, though, if he does find he explains himself, I think it would be to Max and Lucas only; so they don't do anything stupid that will attract Neil's very unwanted attention).

How would he eventually be integrated into the party with the rest of them (if he decided to stay in Hawkins or was forced to stay in Hawkins while he healed and goes through physical therapy, etc)? Would he stay after he was cleared medically? Would he go? Would he keep in contact if he left, or would he just disappear?

There are so many questions I have regarding the what ifs. But if he had survived, I like to think this is how it would go. (((Obviously, this is just my take on it, and everyone is entitled to their own takes and theories regarding this situation. It's unfortunate that we will never know what actually would happen, but this is what the fandom and fanfiction is for, am I right? Lmao.)))

I think, due to everything, he would have changed. I believe it would be hard for anyone not to change after what happened.

I think in the beginning, he'd be an absolute wreck physically, mentally, and emotionally. I think he'd not only have to unlearn the poison his father fed him all these years, but now he'll need to unlearn the poison the mind flayer fed him too. Unlearn and realize the mind flayer was playing on and amplifying his fears and the darkest parts of him, and reinforcing that poison he'd been fed from Neil.

I think whatever lasting injuries would also be devastating and a learning curve because if he had survived, he would not have gotten away from that experience without lasting consequences. I think he'd have trouble with his hands—nerve damage, and what have you—his lungs, his stomach (from both the stab wounds and the chemicals he was forced to ingest), etc.

(I also think he’d have trouble looking in the mirror after it all too, that he’d be afraid to look in the mirror and see the monster, or see the monster’s eyes still swirling behind his own. I also think he would be disgusted by the scars he gained from the aftermath).

He would also have extreme survivors guilt, would believe it was all his fault no matter how many times people tell him it wasn't. That it was the mind flayer doing it and not him.

((Also, it occurred to me, I wonder how hard Billy fought to keep the mind flayer away from Neil, Susan and Max when he was at home? Why didn’t Susan or Neil become victims? Were they just not home at that time? Like were they off on a mini vacation or something without the kids and left Billy in charge of the house and Max while they were gone? Or were they home all that time?))

I think he would eventually start to believe the others when they tell him it’s not his fault, but only after talking to Will. And it's not Billy who seeks him out. It's Will who goes to him instead (Because unlike the others, Will doesn’t have any interactions to go off of in regard to Billy during season 2, he only has the stories). Maybe Billy will realize that it's no more Will's fault for the deaths of those soldiers in the tunnels or Bob Newby, then it is Billy's fault for the death of Heather and her family, or the other Hawkin’s residents. He will still strangle with the survivors guilt, will still blame himself on his worst days, but after his talk with Will, it gets better. It gets better for them both, because they have someone who understands, and who can remind each other that it wasn't them. It was the mind flayer. They were just unwilling tools/pawns to the Mind flayer’s game.

I also think the first thing he would do once stable and awake enough from his injuries is to apologize to Max (I do believe he would find a way to apologize to the others, but at this current time, I don’t think it will cross his mind until later. Maybe Max might say something or maybe he’s reminded of it on his own).

He might not have been in control of himself most of the time during the possession, but he still unfortunately witnessed everything, and he remembers Max’s face through the sauna window before the mind flayer took control. Can still hear Max’s attempt at trying to break him from the mind flayer’s control by reminding him of who he was (remembers trying to scream at her to move out of the way, but unable to do anything but helplessly watch as she was hit aside). Can still hear Max’s blood curdling scream ringing in his ears or the tears that were running down her face when he thought he was dying (and the pain, so much pain, a pain that took the very breath from him) and was only able to utter out a weak and pathetic “I’m sorry” before his world had gone dark.

In season 2, Max tells Lucas that Billy has always been a jerk (which is a sibling right of passage with any sibling. My siblings as much as I love them, they were absolute jerks/assholes, but then again, so was I with them. So, to me, this is a completely normal thing to say. It’s also completely normal behavior especially considering they were a melded together family still trying to get used to the other). I know she also stated that Billy changed when he got to Hawkins, that he was angry all the time now. Which again, is normal for someone who hasn’t been taught how to handle their emotions (during their puberty/teen years where emotions and hormones are at an all-time high) due to not being in a safe environment to do so, and being under the thumb of an abusive, emotionally constipated and masculine toxic parent who wouldn’t tolerate such emotion coming from Billy.

I don’t think Max and Billy’s relationship was perfect in California obviously, but I do believe there was something there, a truce or a gradual budding siblingship that got ruined and tarnished the moment Neil moved them.

I also headcanoned that Billy kept Max and Susan at arm’s length mostly because: if his flesh and blood mother could leave him, what was to stop Susan and Max from leaving him too. I think Billy fought hard not to grow attached to Susan or Max because everyone leaves him or hurts him in the end. Plus, Max with her spit fire attitude that reminds Billy of his mom sometimes (another headcanon of mine), gave him more grief than he wanted since Max never had to suffer the consequences of her actions. Susan was always left in charge of her punishments (another headcanon of mine)—and they always involved grounding, extra chores, no arcade, no skateboard, and no allowance money for however long the punishment lasted. So, no, Max never had to deal with her consequences, not like Billy had to because to Neil, it was “Billy’s responsibility” to keep his new sister out of trouble.

Billy was tired of being punished for things he didn’t do, and he was tired of Max toeing the line of pissing Neil off enough to paint a target on her back. Was tired of her constantly painting a target on his back because of her not listening or toeing said dangerous line.

((I firmly believe Max knew some things, but I don’t think Max knew everything that went on in her own home between Neil and Billy—either by Neil’s doing, Susan’s doing or Billy’s doing or even a mix of all of them. I think also Neil painted a picture/sob story for Susan and Max that made it harder to believe anything else, and with Billy’s behavior, I think it only solidified that picture for them; regardless if it made them uncomfortable or not)).

I also believe these feelings and events/punishments weren’t as bad in California because San Diego is such a massive place, that it was easier for them both to hide stuff from Susan and Neil. That things didn’t get back to them as easily. But now in Hawkins, where everyone knows everyone and certainly knows everyone’s business, that luxury isn’t a thing for either of them anymore.

So, with all of this in mind, with Billy remembering that tentative relationship/truce despite his best efforts to keep Max at arms-length, as well as how Max acted while he was possessed; I think once he was stable and coherent enough, he would do his best to try and make up for everything with her. ((It won’t be easy and it certainly won’t be quickly either. There is too much there that needs to be said and fixed and Billy doesn’t know how to say it or where to even start, but he tries, and Max—having been confronted with the reality of Billy nearly dying and dealing with the guilt of nearly getting her wish—does her best to try too)).

When it comes to the rest, I think Lucas would be next. Lucas has every right not to listen to him or forgive him. However, between Lucas, Dustin, and Mike, I think Lucas would be the one to eventually get to the possibility of “thinking” about it. I think he would only get to that point if he saw a clear difference between Billy and Max. I think because of his love for Max, if he saw that their relationship was repairing for the better, I think Lucas would then be a little more open to thinking about it, especially if Billy’s new behavior begins to extend beyond Max as well. I think if he did decide to try, I think they would bond a bit over basketball (I think basketball is also a bonding thing for Steve and Lucas also) since Lucas doesn’t have that with Mike, Dustin or Will.

Next would either be the rest of the party (Dustin and Mike), or Steve. Steve, I think would be a little more open to just letting it go, but Dustin and Mike are not. It would take a lot or a very long time at least for them to even get to a point where they would consider it.

El—like Will—firmly reminds him it wasn’t his fault when he apologies to her for hurting her. I think they would bond through their traumas, and Billy will end up with another little sister he never asked for.

I also think in the end, with Billy and Max repairing their relationship (and with Billy being alive meaning Neil wouldn’t fly the coup), I think Billy would stick around a bit longer in Hawkins. I think with him finally letting Max in, to put that trust in her that she won’t willingly leave him or hurt him; it would be reason enough for him to stay. Maybe he won’t stay for her 4 years of high school, but I do believe he would stay for a good portion of it.

I also think if Billy survived and stayed in Hawkins, he would be Vecna’s target—for one he escaped Vecna’s control, and for two, Billy is still dealing with that survivors guilt (is still haunted by the faces that he was forced to take). I’m not sure if Max would be a target too, mostly because Max’s stemmed from his death, but I do think there would still be guilt there regardless if he lived. (If Billy left Hawkins, then I’m unsure if Max’s guilt would be enough for Vecna to chose her. But Vecna could choose her to draw Billy back?).

I don’t know. It just makes me really sad that we’ll never know how things would have gone.

But I will die on this hill that Billy would have changed for the better had he survived. I genuinely believe he would have. He deserved to get the chance to try at the very least.

[inconspicuousdreamgirl]

stranger things would struggle with no robin buckely

a list of reasons why

she solved and cracked the russian code within hours

she figured out they could use the vents to sneak in

she further helped the group in season three during the final scenes

she helped find where eddie was staying

figured out music could help max escape vecnas curse

found the articles related to victor creel which further helped get to vecna

I genuinely cannot wait for robin moments like these in season five she is such a vital character!!!
