a real-life, honest to god sorcerer!

this is overly specific but I do very much believe that post-s5 max is the type to make jokes about her death/coma situation and that at a certain point lucas has to have a heart-to-heart with her where he's like. hey dude/sweetheart I'm not trying to tell you what to do but that was actually the worst and most traumatic time of my life and every time you joke about your death I remember that time where you were Actually Dead In My Arms And Then Unresponsive For Over A Year so could you maybe. cool it a little with that when you're around me please. and max is like 😳

Will documenting his journey of self-discovery when he gets to NYC with a little sketchbook that lives in his pocket, until the edges are worn soft, and a Polaroid camera. It makes him think about his brother sometimes--on the rare occasions when he tries to capture a scene, instead of just snapping a candid shot, and he remembers watching Jonathan do that, or going through the photos later and seeing what he's preserved, and how sometimes Jonathan would show him his box of photos and let him pick the cool ones to keep. It's different from Jonathan's process--Jonathan wouldn't shoot Polaroid--but he likes that, too, and Jonathan happily puts Will's shitty photos on his fridge. But the important thing is that he has this proof of his freedom, this life he's building, that he can surround himself with when he needs to remind himself that he is loved and his life is full and he is moving forward.
