GoD YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I LOVE THESE GENERAL HEADCANONS. .. I LOVE THINKING ABOUT THEM ALL INTERACTING WITH EACH OTHER

General Hillbilly Headcanons Regarding Other Killers

Max finds a lot of comfort in Bubba. Whilst this is a headcanon that’s pretty much said throughout most of the community, I do still stand for it. The relationship started out pretty rocky (in all honesty, whenever Bubba did those squeals, it frightened the life out Max), but they soon got it working. They were interested in each other’s tools, and that slowly developed into realising they had more in common than they thought. Now, they’re pretty much... Best friends? None of them speak (Max makes grunts and groans and Bubba does those squeals and squeaks), and yet the two of them seem to have an understanding. You’ll see the two of them making weird hand gestures at each other, and it’s like a very primitive form of sign language that they’ve developed on their own. They only have a few phrases worked out in said little language, but it’s enough to work. Come here, thank you, goodbye, hey, those sorts of things. 

Max deeply looks up to Evan, who he sees as some sort of father figure. He’s never had a father he could really look up to and doesn’t understand what a father should be like, but anyone on the outside looking in can see that he does see Evan that way, even if he doesn’t understand it himself. Max is always seeking Trapper’s approval, and he likes to constantly show him things he’s been tinkering with. One day, Evan passively handed over a bear trap and, “tinker with that,” and Max had never felt so overjoyed. Evan. The big man himself. The one who was often dubbed the Entity’s favourite. He was giving Max this... Responsibility? Amazing.

Max is low-key afraid of Wraith. He doesn’t like that Philip just comes out of no where. It’s scary. He understand that Phil is a nice guy that won’t hurt him, but every time he materialises out of thin air, Max just gets spooked. After realising this, Philip tries his best to make sure that Max is always aware of his presence to prevent any scares, and after that, the two get on just fine. 

Max really likes Sally. Especially when she doesn’t have the bag on her on her head, opting to have her auburn curls hanging loose with a simple bandage over her eyes. He thinks her hair is the prettiest thing he’s ever seen. It’s so vibrant. Despite this, she’s prone to fits of anger that do frighten him, but... When she’s calm and placid, she’s nice. 

A scary motherfucker? Demogorgon. Max can’t stand him. He’s scary. And when he scREAMS ??? Max doesn’t know what to do with himself he thinks he’s gonna get his hands bitten off

Vibes with Michael. Michael’s a quiet boy who stares a lot, and Max seems to think that the staring means he wants to be friends. Michael doesn’t care. But. Y’know. 

Max likes Herman. Mostly because he finds Herman’s laugh funny and it makes him want to laugh and then when he laughs, Herman laughs more and it’s just an endless cycle. 

Hag tries to teach Max some symbols and they both draw together in the dirt.

Anna wasn’t a big fan of Max at first. However, after some time, she does grow very fond of him. Constantly patting his head and whatnot. He likes to give her flowers. She likes his rather gentle nature.

Max tried to make friends with Amanda but Amanda proceeded to literally growl at him and he was like nope i’m out

He actually really likes Kenneth. Why? Because Kenneth throws those pink tonics around and to Max???? It’s like fucking magic. Plus Kenneth once pulled a coin out of literally no where and since then on Max was like. yes. this man. this man may be weird. and kinda scary. but he’s magic man.

susie, leading max around the forest by the hand: and this here is a flower but it’s not a very good one bc it isn’t my favourite colour,,,, and max be like: ok ok susies favourite flower = best flower i understand i think

Caleb enters the realm with his big ass cowboy hat and Max is like !!!!! big hat!!!! hat friends!!! max likes hats

plus caleb once put his hat down for 0.2 seconds and max thought he was sneaky as he picked it up and put it on and then caleb turned around and was like,,,,, “well ain’t u somethin’” and max was like : )

Happy Max Day! I love this man so much, I’m excited to see what others have done! Here’s my contribution for today @highdwightofmylife

You looked down at your clasped hands, a frown on your face. You were unlucky enough to get the energetic trinity: Meg, Feng, and Nea. Those three tend to be very boisterous when together, sometimes too much for you to handle. They weren’t rude towards you. They had tried to include you, but your trials today had been very exhausting.

“Maybe another time,” you had suggested with a tired smile. The girls had agreed and sat chatting across the fire from you. Horrible, horrible trials. The Killers always seemed to know what to do to push you to you limits.

You were tired of the pain. You were tired of the adrenaline. You were tired of the bloodshed. And the girls talking about the trials in front of you were not helping. With a huff, you stood up and began walking. No calls come after you.

i’d same but i don’t really want a chainsaw in any part of my body, i’d let him smack me with the hammer is that ok

Max Receiving Small Gifts From S/O

Okay. So. Max is... 

Very easily impressed.

You could give him the simplest of things and this boy would be absolutely overjoyed.

He’s just pure like that.

You could literally hand this boy a weed and he’d be like ??? for m E ??? om G (insert excited squeals)

But this ask isn’t about random ass gifts you pick up from the side of the path. This is about things that you make with your bare hands. Flower crowns, beautiful wreaths, anything. In the Fog, there isn’t a lot of things to help your creativity to flow, but you make do. If you ask Max to fetch you some wood, he’ll be more than happy to provide you with some. Sometimes the random sticks you find aren’t quite what you’re looking for, and Max doesn’t mind cutting down a tree or two to provide you with all the wood you may need. 

In fact, he’ll help you gather any resources. You need a very specific colour of flower? Count him in. You need a rock that shaped in a very specific way? He’ll be on his hands and knees and scouring the dirt for you. He’ll do anything for you. 

Max is also pretty much best friends with Bubba, who is also very... Creative. Maybe not in the same way you are, but he does have a knack for finding things. As you’re the s/o of Max, Bubba learns quickly to trust you, and he’ll also help you gather and make things if you just tell him it’s for Max. This is useful if you’d rather keep it a surprise from your boyfriend. And you don’t have to worry about Bubba telling him because, well, the man can’t say anything except scREEEEE and hgGH HHHH.

When you spend your precious time making him things, Max is absolutely beside himself. He doesn’t quite view himself as worthy of your time, and the fact that you’ve spent so long just to make something for him? The thought upsets him for a moment. 

Please reassure him that you enjoy making him things. Help him see that he could never be a waste of your time. 

It might take a few gifts just for him to really begin to believe that you’re not making him things out of obligation, but because you want to. 

He gives you flowers all the time and sometimes gives you random pieces of wood with nails and stuff hammered into it and you can only assume it’s his try of art. 

He also likes to give you bits of scrap metal. Sometimes that he’s ripped clean off generators. You tend to find that he only gives you very shiny bits of metal though. Maybe he thinks that you like shiny things. Maybe he heard once that you’re supposed to give your love shiny, precious things to show how much you care.

But yeah, I’m rambling, oops.

Once he gets used to you giving him things, you can see just how excited he gets. His eyes light up and his hands start flapping and he just can’t contain himself. He’s baby.

Just so you guys know what tags to block if you’re not interested in certain days! 

Happy Max Day!
