I’m sorry, I may just be a bit oblivious but I don’t actually get what you’re trying to imply here 😅 especially because in my mind these are two very different characters.
Mainly because from point one it’s obvious Jason doesn’t want to be doing the things he’s doing which contrasts with max who seems to revel in it and so has a much more stark difference between his terrible behavior and his redemption.
I think it should also be mentioned that (imo) Jason isn’t really a character who gets “redeemed”. (Hear me out!) From my understanding redemption is when you do something truly truly bad, make up for it, and learn to be a better person. Jason barely fulfills the truly bad thing by hanging with max and doing his bidding (but as I said above he doesn’t want to be doing any of it in the first place) but his “redemption” is a bit overshadowed by the fact that he tells Richie that if max ever came back he’d go right back to bullying. Now even though max’s redemption is also overshadowed by a return to his evil doings I think it’s really important to mention that Jason just randomly says he’d return to bullying if max ever came back. Whereas max has a more character reason to make his decent back into evil (mainly getting hurt, and pissing his pants. Which are both embarrassing things and we know he has a problem with his dad humiliating him)
In your tags you mentioned that you didn’t think screen time had to do with this, but I actually think it does. And the reason I think this is because of Kyle. Now idk about anyone else but I often don’t remember much about this character. (I had to look up his name just now.) and to me that’s because he hardly does anything in the show. So it would make sense to me if Jason, who is in the show less than max but more than Kyle, would get less attention from the fandom than max, but more than Kyle. And while I know that people love taking random background characters and making them the fandom favorite. I don’t actually think that Jason really fulfills what a typical fandom wants to see which is mainly toxic sad boys. (Which Jason is not imo. Other than the whole “we’re gonna return to bullying” he’s pretty healthy and happy)
I’m sure there are more in depth reasons but that’s the one that came up to me.
Sorry, not trying to be rude or anything. Just kinda hoping to start a conversation because I’m really curious about this topic! 😊
(edit: I looked back at your tags and saw that this is about race, which is totally fair. I’m not going to claim that isn’t what’s happening here since I haven’t really looked at the fandom from that point of view. Feel free to disregard this entire reblog 😝)
Jason Jepson is literally everything the fandom wants Max to be (kind of dumb, gets redeemed and turns out to be actually really sweet, cares a lot about his friends, makes up with the nerds he bullied, hell he even likes Grace). But yet the fandom still favours Max more. I wonder why that is! Hmmm, I wonder what the difference between these two could be!
Lautski Day 3: camp 🕺💃💅💅💅✨✨
@lautski-week
I call this one camp at camp. I’m imagining a full met gala show to the absolute horror of all of the camp counselors 😂
I had meant to draw Nick-Pete but went into some kind of trance and when I woke up I had draw Joey 😭😭 idk what happened 😆
Au where all of the characters played by Kim Whalen in the Hatchetfield Series are all supernatural and connected.
Like, Holloway we know is a witch and yeah some of them already have some supernatural connection, but like, I want more.
Becky Barnes is absolutely some kind of guardian Angel given she’s a warrior of light. She, along with Holloway, is the person who the others go to for help relating to supernatural stuff and injuries.
Girl Jeri gave birth to a hairy creature that lives in the woods, she’s a werewolf. The lumber-axe man has just lost his mind fully into the wolf, even when in human form, and now Jeri goes wolf to try to protect the kids at camp.
Stacy is that one friend who has like a sixth sense for people but it’s literally a sixth sense. She somehow hasn’t realized she’s psychic despite multiple other people directly telling her.
Karen Chasity is Also a werewolf and is related to Girl Jeri (And has a bad track record with controlling herself on the full moon, thus the cannibalism claim in hatchet town).
Miss Mullberry is theater teacher who goes “caw-caw” at some point. Make her into a half bird. Like a crow person, but nighthawk. She’s been banned from running the lost and found because she keeps on just taking the shiny stuff in it.
Liz Cunnigham we don’t know too much about other than helping charities and that she was once from clivesdale. So, since she was once a chemist, let’s make her into an actual Chemist who sells her products as a small company and that’s why they’re big enough to help charities and be in the honey festival.
Now I just need to figure out Sylvia, Jenny, Reese, and Miss Tessburger.
Lautski Week: Day 1 (Warmth)
This board is for Day One of Lautski Week. It’s pretty simple for this day.
Pete and Steph spends a rainy, Fall day in front of the fireplace with hot chocolate. Pete reads some of his favorite books to Steph. Cuddling ensures.
This may have worked better for the Fall Lautski week but this first came to my mind with the theme.
(I do not own anything.)

Ella and Tadius from Cinderella's Castle give very similar energy to Curt and Tatiana from Spies Are Forever. Both not interested in each other romantically but are absolutely best friends and probably kiss each other on the cheek when they meet up and everyone sorta thinks they're together and they never deny it but they know they're not together and never will be
There's always empty space in their bed, for one more person.
There's always a third plate on the table, with no food because they're not there to eat.
There's always the way they look between them as if there was someone there.
There's always the longing for the flash of pink or a hint of golden curls in the forest.
They couldn't go where she was.
She didn't know where they were.
They were stuck.
And it'll have to be that way forever.
It won't change.
Not until someone moves.
Lautski Week: Day 2 (Party)
Pete, Ruth, and Richie throw Steph a Birthday Party. It’s a small event but Steph loves it. It’s more sincere than anything Solomon has thrown for her and more intimate than what she does with the popular cliche. Steph and Pete *might* have some alone time later in the party. (Follow by 101 questions about it from Ruth.)

Spoilers for later in the week:
This won’t be the only that Steph’s birthday is worked into the theme.
So has anyone considered a Hadestown AU with Steph as Orpheus and Pete as Euridyce
Lautski Week: Day 7 (Morning)
For the last day of Lautski week, I have a pretty simple Werewolf AU.
Steph is a werewolf and it’s the morning after a full moon. She’s tired and weak after a long night. Pete, being a good boyfriend, prepare some breakfast for her. They then cuddle in bed with Pete reassuring Steph that she’s safe. This leads to them sleeping in late.
Funny how my boards started the week with cuddles and is now ending the week with cuddles. Hope everyone had a good week.

Alright, I misphrased, that’s my bad.
I was trying to figure out how to explain this before but I was having trouble. Hopefully this is the better explanation
The goal of the crowdfunding is to break even. The goal of the digi ticket is to make money.
What I mean by this is that crowdfunding is done with the goal to use every single scent that you receive. You’re not saving any of this money, you’re using every single penny. And unfortunately a lot of times even what you get from crowdfunding wasn’t enough to do everything you wanted to do for the show, and pay everyone. digital tickets are done with the intent to actually make the money. This is the money that lets you not scrimp and save, lets you go buy the new shirt cause your old one ripped, this money can actually be put into savings for future use! (Aka the money that you can dip into when the crowdfunding wasn’t enough lol /j)
The actors are paid during the crowdfunding. Everyone is. They can’t be living for months without getting paid. (Again sorry for misphrasing, that’s my bad)
the whole point of the crowdfunding tho is to be able to have money until you can make money. It’s just enough to pay the actors enough to live. Pay the props department enough to get the props, etc. if this was all the money they receive during the run of the show they’d be bankrupt in weeks. It’s not going to be enough to maintain long term financial stability.
And this isn’t some random business plan that Starkid cooked up. This is just how the entertainment industry works. It’s the same tactic that’s used in mainstream Hollywood. Except that usually in Hollywood people will get a sponsor for their movie. Like some bigwig exec who is willing to give them money until they are making money from the movie.( then usually these executives have the ability to change up the movie to fit their ideals better. Which is why executive interference is so prevalent.)
Just in case anyone was hoping to watch Star Baby on the 8th without a digital ticket, you can't <33
The question is whether this nobler in the mind to be well liked but ineffectual or moral but malignedShe/herThis is just gonna be a musical blog at this point
