guh.......im silly and uxorious :3

you might have a point anon, it's pretty weird how windforce is the only unique bodytype in the sword line up. to remedy this, i've redesigned windforce to fit with everyone's barbie doll mold. now they better blend into the cast!

thank you for bringing this to my attention, anon!

YES YOU CAN

YES YOU CAN

here's a compressed version of the image!

He has a SILK PRESS!!!!!!!! His natural hair texture is type 4a-4b, it’s a little inconsistent in texture because his moms hair is a loose wavy texture and his dads is 4c

Here is…. My diagram….. I have a whole thing in my head about his psyche in connection to his hair, hes very particular about it.

Even when he wore it natural as a kid he always preferred it to be heavily styled, he has a big control complex so if he can have somethung done in a meticulous way where nothing will be out of place or unpredictable he WILL do it, which is why around middleschool he was big on braids [still occasionally wears braids as an adult but back then it was his go-to]

BUT unfortunately coupled with that control complex is also his self imposed deranged complex surrounding conformity [despite what it may seem, given his flare for the eccentric] imagine like American psycho levels of Someone desiring to fit into basically the American ideal of people who are “#1” in society, but instead of already being a white cis male like Bateman hes essentially the antithesis of that ideal. and yet he still chases that ideal. So as you can imagine he is a deeply deeply insecure individual [he would never admit this, hes Mr bigshot confidence after all] and it essentially drives everything he does subconsciously. Which leads to him starting to straighten his hair when he starts highschool which he never stops doing [he occasionally rocks other styles, hes not totally against his natural texture but he doesn’t prefer jt ^ points back at the insecurities framed by the ideals of a racist society]. Hes essentially raised incredibly spoiled and privileged with everything he could want handed to him on a silver platter, and yet it will never be enough simply because he was born who he is. Afro-Latino, very obviously queer, very obviously mentally ill. He is a transman but he doesn’t realize this until he has like a mental break in senior year of hs and only “accepts” that and transitions in his mid 20s, and even then thats not something he really talks about outwardly, so being born and raised and living a lot of his life as a black woman also contributes to all of that, and is essential to his life experience a aswell

Sorry I went off on a crazy tangent, but all this to say YES….. IT IS A SILK PRESS…….

Small edit: I FORGOT TO SAY, THE FLY AWAYS ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF HIS DESIGN because they sort of symbolize that entire futile chase. He’s never able to get it to sit right and perfect and controlled like he wants nomatter how hard he tries

⬇️ here’s an old timeline of his hairstyles

OK SO, I HAVE BEEN STEWING ON THIS ASK SINCE YOU SENT IT LOL.

My dilemma when answering this question is that there’s a very simple path/answer when it comes to this and or the incredibly frustrating path. And 99% of the times neither path goes well

So for the more simple answer, Max doesn’t have any interest in romantic relationships whatsoever, generally thinks they’re a waste of time. He would quite literally do anything else than be tied down to someone. He’s interested in boytoys not boyfriends. That being said, while he’s not interested in the romance department he IS a swinger, so sleeping with him is a lot easier than romancing him LMAO. His type he’s attracted to in that sense ranges from the more pathetic types, those who look easy to push around (in personality) OR TBH as long as he thinks you’re hot enough personality doesn’t matter too much, he doesn’t plan on talking to you anyway, honestly the more you talk the more he’ll dislike you, and he probably didn’t like you all that much in the first place… LOL. but physically he prefers bigger guys, toned muscular OR less defined but still obvious strong [waves my hands around vaguely]

Again, it’s relatively easy to to engage with him in that department. But as soon as you imply you want something deeper/longterm committed or exclusive in any way HE will dump you in the most brutal way possible. He doesn’t mind if someone is whipped for him, makes it fun to watch them be at his beck n call but neverr ever expect it to become a “thing” it will not end well and he willll stomp all over your heart

NOW. THE MORE COMPLICATED SIDE OF THINGS.

Max has only fallen in love 1 time in his life (and came veryyy close to it only one other time) and this is practically the most terrifying thing in the world to him, and I’ll try to explain why

1. He has terrible emotional regulation, if he’s feeling something its 0 to 100, there’s rarely if ever an in-between

2. I’ve mentioned many times before but he has a neurotic desire to have every aspect of his life controlled to his liking, which extends to any emotions he feels/reactions to emotions

3. In general, he views others outside of himself as “npcs” in a way, rather than full significant people. Even if you pass the threshold of being someone he considers important enough to remember/ spend time with he will still consider you to be beneath/a lesser person than him. At the end of the day no one else matters

All of these factors combined make having a crush nightmare inducing to him, he will genuinely start tweaking. The idea that seeing someone could trigger certain thoughts/feelings from him without HIM choosing that stresses him out beyond belief. Which leads to the resentment. If he really and truly loves/has a crush on someone he will NEVER label it as such or assume that’s what it is and will instead jump to blaming and accusing the other person of doing something to him, having this unending feeling of “I’m under attack” “my autonomy and control is under attack” “I don’t know how or what you did but this is your fault”. But at the same time this disarms some of his usual assholery and he will instead do everything in his power to avoid you (especially in public. Often time outright darting away he second he spots you. It also must be noted that he is a very jealous person, but this combined with his denile gives him a bigger headache, and he’ll often have physical reactions to things due to the intensity of what he’s feeling (like puking).

When he was confessed to, it led to maybe the most cruel rejection he’s ever dished out. Which would be true for any scenario where he happens to truly crush on someone. The more he actually likes you, the more cruel he’ll be. Because again, instead of being normal he views it as a personal attack.

Now, I’m not really sure, how to describe what his type is, in the romantic sense. But I guess what I can say is it’s down to whoever seeing him and the person he is in reality rather than just the facade he puts out, and someone who is patient with him. But this is part of the double edged sword, because in bringing those “truer” parts of him out, it’s breaking down his carefully crafted persona, and that terrifies him he hates it. Which is where a lot of the cruelty stems from. His own comfort and the status quo is always his priority. He will do ANYTHING to make sure HE feels good. So the uncertainty of opening up, which would most likely lead to him being happier, just doesn’t even cross his mind, because of the effort and work and period of discomfort that would come with it

So for someone to really and truly want to pursue him, you would need infinite patience, not be afraid to actually challenge him, persistence. Because he will make the process hell. And by persistence I mean it could take upwards of 15 years of knowing him maybe more for something to happen, depending on the circumstances. He’s the type of character that needs extreme situations to get him to move in any deeply emotional sense.

I hope all of this makes sense, it’s very hard for me to put into words HAHAHAHA
