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.

Ruth, I swear I saw this shit in one anime-

One of these nerdy prudes is not like the other

they also def have the bully busters memorized

Richie, Pete and Ruth definitely have the We Are The Toads, and The Perfect Pokerap by Brian David Gilbert memorised.

i don't think ive seen anyone else point out the star wars reference in npmd:

right before caitia ruth says "you're her only hope" and richie calls it a star wars analogy

in caitia reprise steph sings "if i really really did love you, you'd have to say" and pete sings "i know"

which is what han said to leia after she confesses her love

i just really loved this callback
