Love, obsession, or yandere?

Max Hatter is your boyfriend, but you've been noticing different things about him, he's been way more obsessive and way more possessive. Why? No one knows.

Max Hatter if he gets a girlfriend his yandere traits would shift from anxious tracking to smothering, absolute possession. Now that you are officially his, his deep-seated fear of losing you—combined with his natural Wonderland eccentricity—would make him an incredibly devoted, hyper-fixated, and fiercely jealous boyfriend.

His personality traits would evolve into a mix of royal doting and tight, calculated control:

The "Spoiled Royalty" Doting

Obsessive Over-Indulgence: Max will treat you like the absolute ruler of his world. Because he is highly skilled at thievery and making things, you will constantly be showered with gifts—gorgeous custom hats, rare jewelry, and perfectly brewed teas. He takes immense pride in dressing you up and showing you off, wanting the entire world to see how perfect his girlfriend is.Suffocating Physical Closeness: He will rarely leave your side. If you are walking down the halls of Auradon Prep or the Isle, his arm is securely wrapped around your waist, or his fingers are tightly locked with yours. He uses physical touch as a constant, public reminder to everyone else that you are strictly off-limits.

Paranoid Overprotection & Isolation

The "Mad" Gaslighter: Max is incredibly smart and charming, which makes him a master of psychological manipulation. If you want to spend time with friends like Red or Chloe without him, he won't yell. Instead, he will look at you with heartbreaking, puppy-dog eyes and softly ask, "Am I not enough for you anymore?" or subtly convince you that your friends are toxic and that only he truly cares about your safety.Complete Schedule Domination: He will smoothly orchestrate your entire life so that your schedules perfectly align. He will sign up for the exact same classes, join the same clubs, and sit next to you at every meal. If there is a moment you are apart, he expects constant text updates, framing it as "just making sure my girl is safe."

Ruthless Border Control

Instant Elimination of Threats: As a crush, he was cautious. As a boyfriend, he is merciless. If anyone so much as looks at you for too long, Max’s cool demeanor instantly drops into pure malice. He will use The Hat Trix to completely ruin that person's reputation, frame them for a crime, or ensure they are too terrified to ever make eye contact with you again.Curating Your Inner Circle: He will slowly and quietly prune people out of your life. If he decides a friend is a "bad influence" (meaning they encourage you to have a life outside of him), Max will steal their secrets, leak them, or manipulate a fight between you two so that you willingly cut them off, leaving you entirely dependent on him.

Terrifyingly Soft Dependency

The Unhinged Emotional Anchor: Despite how controlling he is, Max is completely weak for you. If you show him genuine affection, kiss his cheek, or tell him you love him, his tough VK exterior completely shatters. He will melt into your touch, holding you so tightly it hurts, whispering about how he would literally burn the world down before he ever let you go. You quickly realize that his entire sanity rests solely in your hands.If Max Hatter found out someone had feelings for you—even if that person had never acted on it—his reaction would be swift, calculated, and terrifyingly cold.

Because you are already his girlfriend, he views any outside interest in you as an active threat to his perfect reality. He wouldn’t make a loud, public scene that could make you upset with him; instead, he would systematically dismantle that person’s life behind the scenes while playing the role of your loving, protective boyfriend.

Here is exactly what would happen:

1. The Immediate "Claiming"

The second Max catches wind of this person's crush, he will immediately tighten his grip on you in public to send a clear psychological message.

The Display of Ownership: If the person is in the same room, Max will pull you flush against his side, bury his face in your neck, or deeply kiss you right in front of them. He will look over your shoulder with an unblinking, dead-eyed stare that says, “Look all you want, they belong to me.”The "Sweet" Isolation: He will immediately find an excuse to pull you away from the situation. "Let's go somewhere private, love. Just the two of us." He wants to completely erase that person from your sight before they even get a chance to speak to you.

2. Unleashing The Hat Trix for Espionage

Max wouldn't just guess at the threat; he would want facts. He would utilize his crew to put the person under total surveillance.

Felix and the Twins would be ordered to follow the person, find out who their friends are, read their text messages over their shoulder, and learn their deepest, darkest secrets.Max wants to know exactly how much they like you. Have they been writing about you? Do they have photos of you? Max will have Hazel Hook break into their locker or dorm room to steal any evidence of their crush on you.

3. The Quiet, Absolute Ruin of the Rival

Max’s main goal is to make this person so miserable, humiliated, or terrified that they either leave the school entirely or are too traumatized to ever look in your direction again.

Weaponizing His Thievery & Chemistry: Max will use his expert thief skills to plant contraband, stolen test answers, or dangerous magical artifacts in the rival's bag. He will ensure they get caught by the authorities or Auradon Prep's administration, facing expulsion or severe punishment.Slipping Them a Poison: If the rival dares to try and talk to you alone, Max will use his potion-making skills. The rival will suddenly find their food spiked with a potion that makes them violently ill, completely losing their voice, or breaking out in horrific, embarrassing rashes every single time they get near you. Max will make it seem like a bizarre medical anomaly, but it’s a calculated punishment.

4. How He Acts to You

The most twisted part is how Max behaves toward you while he is actively destroying this person's life.

The Comforting Gaslighter: If you notice the rival is missing, miserable, or suddenly terrified of you, Max will stroke your hair, pull you onto his lap, and softly soothe you. "I heard they've been going through a rough patch, darling. It's a shame. But don't worry about them... you have me. I'll always protect you from the drama."He Will Never Tell You: He will keep you entirely in the dark about what he did. In his mind, your only job is to sit on the throne he built for you, look beautiful, and love him unconditionally, while he handles the "ugly" parts of keeping your world perfectly isolated.

If Max's obsession reaches a fever pitch because someone is actively eyeing his girlfriend, The Hat Trix shifts from a group of friends into a fiercely loyal, underground syndicate. Max is their captain, and on the Isle of the Lost or at Auradon Prep, a VK crew protects their leader's "property" at all costs.

They will divide and conquer to completely neutralize the threat, ensuring Max’s hands stay perfectly clean so he can remain the "sweet, attentive boyfriend" to you.

1. Hazel Hook: The Enforcer & Interrogator

Hazel is fiercely protective of Max. If someone is disrespecting Max's relationship, she takes it as a personal insult to The Hat Trix's honor.

The Back-Alley Cornering: Hazel will trail the rival until they are alone in a hallway or behind the bleachers. She will slam her hook into the locker right next to their head, her usual smirk replaced by a cold glare.The Final Warning: She will make it explicitly clear that Max isn't the only one they have to worry about. She'll whisper something like, "You're playing with fire, mate. If I catch you looking at the Captain's girl again, it won't be Max you're dealing with. It'll be my hook."

2. Felix Facilier: The Psychological Saboteur

Felix is all about misdirection, shadows, and illusions. He handles the subtle, psychological warfare to make the rival look foolish in front of you.

The Public Humiliation: Felix will use his smooth charisma to bait the rival into embarrassing situations. If the rival tries to walk over to talk to you, Felix might use sleight-of-hand to trip them, spill a drink all over them, or magically swap their notes so they read something utterly humiliating out loud.Digital Espionage: Felix is the one who will swipe the rival's phone. He will scroll through their messages, find out if they've told anyone else about their crush on you, and delete your contact info or block your number from their phone entirely.

3. Squeaky & Squirmy Smee: The Shadows & Saboteurs

The twins are small, fast, and completely unnoticeable. They act as the physical muscle for the structural sabotage.

Locker & Room Trashing: On Max's orders, the twins will break into the rival's locker or dorm. They will shred any photos, notes, or gifts the rival was planning to give you. If Max needs to frame the rival, the twins are the ones who will slip stolen goods or banned potions into the rival's backpack right before a school inspection.The Border Patrol: They will act as human tripwires. The second the rival gets within twenty feet of you, one of the twins will text Max a code word so Max can immediately swoop in, wrap his arm around you, and intercept them.

How They Rationalize It

Behind closed doors, the crew might exchange a look. Felix might chuckle and say, "Our boy has completely lost his mind over this one," and Hazel might roll her eyes at how whipped Max is. But at the end of the day, VK loyalty is absolute. They view Max as a king who has found his queen, and they will gladly play the villains to make sure no one disrupts their captain’s twisted paradise.
