#to be clear: i love steph and don’t think she’s selfish or anything like linda

[nogooddeetz]

so i just rewatched honey queen and in it, roman explains how linda is “the sweetest woman in hatchetfield” (the title that comes with winning the title of honey queen) because what she was willing to do in order to win (kill zoey, among other less than nice things) makes her taste the sweetest to nibbly.

now, in nerdy prudes must die, during the summoning, while blinky speaks to grace and tinky taunts pete, nibbly immediately looks to steph and says “stephanie, yum yum!” steph is nothing like linda of course, she’s not callous or selfish. but. she was, in the end, willing to kill pete to save the rest of the town. she would have done it with a heavy heart, but she would have done it nonetheless. so, is the reason nibbly expresses interest in steph above the others that she is capable of things the others aren’t? like linda, she’s willing to go to extreme lengths to achieve her goal (even though her goal is much more selfless than linda’s).

grace is certainly capable of doing crazy shit too but her deal is a whole separate issue of its own

#just something that popped into my head #and to be fair the whole show starts with steph being willing to use pete to pass a test #which is not a serious offense but it kind of goes with the whole ‘willing to take short cuts’ and ‘use other people to achieve goals’ thin #to be clear: i love steph and don’t think she’s selfish or anything like linda #but the lords in black tend to prey on people who they think they can manipulate into acting how they want them to #so perhaps nibbly thinks steph has the potential if things were desperate enough #nerdy prudes must die #stephanie lauter #nibbly #starkid #hatchetverse #nightmare time #honey queen #linda monroe #npmd #nibblenephim #team starkid #mariah rose faith casillas #lauren lopez #kim whalen #jon matteson #lautski #peter spankoffski
