oki but like merging "Cool As I Think I Am" and "If I Loved You" in the reprise is like fucking genius tbh like I am genuinely impressed by how both of the arcs explored in both songs were summed up neatly in the reprise in a sense that Pete finds his solid sense of identity and a big reason for that is Steph loving him despite not readily admitting it LIKE "If I really really did love you, you'd have to say-" "I know." ESPECIALLY WITH THE MAIN MESSAGE OF "IF I LOVED YOU" BEING THAT OF THE TWO DENYING THEIR FEELINGS FOR ONE ANOTHER BECAUSE THEY'D MAKE IT SUPER DAMN CLEAR TO THE OTHER IF THEY DID HAVE THEM SO WITH PETE SAYING THAT HE KNOWS AND WITH HIM LETTING STEPH KNOW HE DOES LOVE HER BACK BY BEING WILLING TO TAKE THE BULLET FOR HER LIKE FJSJDJAFJSJD

#I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE RANKING THE REPRISE RATHER LOW ON THEIR LIST OF NPMD SONGS AND I'M LIKE FHZJFD #bUT THE REPRISE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES THO LIKE LOOK HOW THEY TIE BOTH OF THE ARCS UP #anyways yea i really did like the reprise like i really really do #i'll be honest i wish i got more steph and pete development scenes because like showing them grow closer on screen #would have given act 2 a very very emotional hit as the climax revolves heavily around their relationship #but i love them all the same #i just wish we got more time with them #bUT STILL WOO GREAT REPRISE #nerdy prudes must die #nerdy prudes must die spoilers #npmd spoilers #starkid #steph lauter #pete spankoffski
