Happy Nerdy Prudes Must Die day, go Nighthawks!!

Ranking the NPMD kids on how much and how well I think they mask.

Pete: can mask if absolutely necessary and is pretty good at it, immediately needs time to recharge, main person to handle social situations Him, Ruth, & Richie run into.

Richie: Cannot mask to save his life, doesn’t try to.

Ruth: Cannot mask to save her life, does try to.

Grace: Has been masking severely since she was young it’s so tightly glued to her face she can’t take it off, doesn’t consciously recognize she’s masking, definitely undiagnosed.

Max: Masks any “uncool” interests, mainly masks around his dad, probably undiagnosed.

Steph: Masks alright, mainly masks around the other popular kids, does it subconsciously, maybe undiagnosed.

Steph would be a huge MLP fan and take that shit to her grave. My girl is taking full advantage of the private likes on Twitter. I think her favorite would be Sunset Shimmer. Yk she’s in deep because her favorite character isn’t even really in the main series

I feel very passionately about this. I need more Max and Steph friendship content.

Need them growing from that surface-level popular group friendship to genuinely connecting with each other.

If you’re into Michie, or ig this could also work for any Max x nerd ship, you could make them bond over liking a nerd. Steph would be gushing about Pete and Max would be absolutely disgusted with himself for relating to it.

Need an AU where they were super good friends and Max made certain that she didn’t know how awful he was. And instead of pulling the prank, what humbles him is losing the only person that he was actually, truly close with. He becomes friends with the nerds just to get her to forgive him, but he ends up actually liking them.

Tbh I really like the last one, might make a follow-up post about that. Point is, their dynamic would be cool and they have lots of potential. Steph would be good at humbling him and I think he would be less stand-off-ish because she’s not a nerd or whatever. Food for thought
