So, I Might've Seen It On The Starcanwrecked Confessions Blog, But Someone Said That Nerdy Prudes "didn't

So, I might've seen it on the starcanwrecked confessions blog, but someone said that Nerdy Prudes "didn't hit as hard" and didn't feel like it fit with Guy and Black Friday because it didn't have that theme of want and I am here to debate that.

Nerdy Prudes Must Die absolutely has a theme of want. Pete's first solo is about how he doesn't want to be a loser anymore, how much better all would be if he was even slightly popular. He's said "I want to be invisible" but really he wants a world where he doesn't have to be invisible to survive. "All my life, I've just wanted a girl to like me" and now he has that. Pete wants a lot of things, things that aren't insane to ask of the world and he's one of the only ones that got them.

Grace doesn't understand her wants and needs and thus results in accidental manslaughter. Something in her wants Max and she's terrified by that because no one ever taught her how to deal with it. In the end, she can't. She can't deal with it and now she wants to enact the word of her god. She wants to punish the pervy dudes of the world.

Richie -much like Pete- just wants to be even slightly popular. He wants friends, he doesn't want to be alone. Yes, he's a slight nihilist, but he doesn't want to be a loser. Along the same lines, all Ruth can talk about is how she wants someone. She wants to be seen, she wants to be touched, she wants the spotlight, she wants eyes on her but it makes her physically ill to be perceived, so she can't have what she wants.

Steph wants to be out of the spotlight. She wants her dad to get off her ass and maybe even treat her like his daughter for once, she wants equity, she wants to keep her friends safe. And, as we all know, she wants Pete. She wants genuine affection, she wants someone that sees her as Steph and not "The Mayor's Daughter". She doesn't want that publicity because she doesn't care about it.

And, of course, Max. He has a god complex, he wants it all. He wants the popularity, the control, the look of fear in the eyes of those he deems inferior. He wants Grace Chasity, he wants what he's told he can't have. He wants to kill those nerdy prudes.

Nerdy Prudes Must Die is entirely about want, it's just not as overt as it is in Guy or Black Friday. The Hatchetfield Series is, ultimately, about greed.

i had a song stuck in my head

I don't know where to talk about this but I need to talk with SOMEONE about how NPMD has an ongoing theme (I think it's a theme?) of people getting a taste of what they always wanted before it is stolen from them and they die.

[MASSIVE SPOILERS]

Max thought the nerds actually cared about him and were willing to do something nice for him out of their own free will.

And then he fell and realised the nerds didn't care about him, they only wanted to hurt him (although they didn't actually want to kill him).

Richie finally became friends with the popular footballers (is it football? I'm Australian idk) and they told him they liked + needed him.

And then Max called out and made Richie think they were bullying him again, then told him that he'll always be a loser.

Ruth got her moment on stage and hit that amazing high note, proving to herself that she could be a lead at a musical theatre and be the star of the show.

And then Max booed her, which essentially told her that she could never be good enough to do it, and he killed her before she could ever perform in front of an audience.

Steph's dad and his assistant don't fit this, but they're not main characters.

Pete finally asks Stephanie out for the dance and she says yes, fulfilling both of their hopes for each other's love.

And then... If Max hadn't stopped the bullet, Pete would've died knowing he could never be with Steph, and Steph would have lived on in sadness. And if Grace hadn't called Max away and tricked him, then they both would have died with the knowledge that they failed to save the person they loved most and would never be with them.

In giving up her chastity, Grace stops the cycle from repeating with Steph & Pete, and instead forces Max to die again. Max doesn't actually lose what he wanted most with his second death, because Grace substitutes her want (to become holy again and to have this never haunt her again) for one of his wants (to have sex with Grace).

I don't know if I'm onto something here, if I'm being crazy, or if someone else has already noticed it.

Spin this wheel of Starkid characters and tell me if you want to fuck, marry, or kill them!
