Steph posts dance TikToks even though she sucks at dancing (she still thinks it’s fun and people think she’s just bad ironically so she’s still cool) and the first time she made Pete do one with her he hit ALL THE SCHMOVES and the comments were exclusively any variation of “GO WHITE BOY GO”

NPMD Phone Headcanons:

Richie:

- Phone is cracked to all hell. Paul forced him to get an otterbox phone case so it won’t break as often. Richie actually used to have one of those really chunky and obnoxious Sanrio cases but it kept falling out and cracking

- Has a shit ton widgets, one for Spotify, one for doulingo, and one for a chibi cat game he downloaded

- His photos are loaded with screenshots and memes of his favorite anime’s and characters, with the occasional Ruth and Peter here and there

- Richie has a bunch of stickers plastered around his phone, some from comic cons and some from Ruth

- Has three sets of headphones for his phone, a wire one, big wireless headphones, and wireless earbuds

- Phone is always at 20% or 10%

- Has about 500 billion AO3 tabs open on his google account

- His phone wallpaper is Asuka and Rei fanart

- Usually has his phone on DND, which causes his family and friends to worry when he doesn’t respond because he doesn’t see it

Peter:

- A really sturdy and old looking phone, but not like a Nokia

- Barley a scratch, he keeps good care of his belongings, thank you very much

- One single sticker from Richie and a small drawn on heart from Steph(he couldn’t get richies sticker off and he didn’t want to get Steph’s heart off)

- Owns Pandora to listen to music

- Has 6 numbers exactly, all others are either deleted or moved to Junk. In order, his mother, Ted, Richie, Ruth, Steph, and Grace. He doesn’t message Grace much, he only got her number for the plan

- Has beanies on speed-dial(for pickup when Ted wants coffee)

- His phone is at lowest 70%. He keeps it well charged and has a portable charger on him

- His phone wallpaper is a selfie of him and Steph at a festival

Ruth:

- Do NOT go through her photos or search history…

- Too many phone numbers, mostly from telemarketers. She saves them and messages them when she’s particularly lonely until they block her

- Ruth’s phone case is mostly stickers at this point. Doesn’t matter what it is, if she finds it on the ground, she slaps it on

- Her phone wallpaper is a plain color. She never learned how to change it

- Has Richie and Spotify on speed dial

- Ruth always has tangled headphones in her backpack, which takes her approximately an hour to untangle

- Back of her phone is cracked to the point you can see the inter workings of the phone

Steph:

- The latest and up to date phone(‘curtesy’ of her father)

- Her phone wallpaper is a photo of Peter she took

- Most of her photos are of her dog, Peter, Ruth, and Ritchie, but she does have a lot of selfies and photos of herself when she dresses up and posts them on instagram

- Has a lot of phone numbers, not because she talks to a lot of people but just because she gets peoples numbers then forgets the text them

Grace:

- Landline.

Explaining my Grace-Chasity-from-NPMD-has-OCPD-headcanon!!!! (Note that my only references for her character are the songs and tumblr posts sorry ^^")

LWK kinda nervous to post this because I'm terrified of mischaracterizing Grace, but bear with me! And if I get something wrong, please try to show me a little...grace...hahaha get it

This is the diagnostic criteria for OCPD in the DSM-5:

A persistent pattern of preoccupation with order; perfectionism; and control of self, others, and situations

This pattern is shown by the presence of > 4 of the following:

Preoccupations with details, rules, schedules, organization, and lists

She's not so much into schedules, organization, and lists (from what I've seen), but she's definitely very particular about details and rules, specifically those regarding religion and how people should act around each other. It seems to me like she sort of imposes her beliefs on others? It's not, like, super bad, but she certainly does it some. Anyway! She is certainly preoccupied with rules and details regarding Christianity.

A striving to do something perfectly that interferes with the completion of a task

Grace definitely strives to do things "perfectly." Perfect in the eyes of Christianity and God and religion. And I can definitely see it getting in the way, even of little things, like a school trying to have its dance in peace or something. I don't know but this fits her because yeah.

Excessive devotion to work and productivity (not due to financial necessity), resulting in neglect of leisure activities and friends

If we don't look at work in the conventional sense, but instead look at, like, spiritual work and missionary work, then we can definitely see this in Grace! I think if we look at this through the lense of religion it's pretty self explanatory.

Excessive conscientiousness, fastidiousness, and inflexibility regarding ethical and moral issues and values

This is like. A huge chunk of her personality. Like, her obsession with Christianity and Saving everyone and making everything just. Perfect. By her standards, her moral standards. Because, right, with Christians, a lot of things are a question of morality. It's a question of helping people, loving people, and Doing What's Right. This description basically sums up most of the things Grace does.

Reluctance to delegate or work with other people unless those people agree to do things exactly as the patient wants

I feel like we can kind of see this in Bully the Bully and Bury the Bully? Grace is like, very insistent that they do things a certain way. And, like, it works, but she's like. Kinda pushy. Which, again, understandable, but it still fits this description IMO.

Rigidity and stubbornness

Coughs in the general direction of her. Everything.

Okok sorry if I got anything wrong uhm. Yes grins. Thank you for reading LMK if you have any questions (I'm more likely to remember it exists if you send an ask)

I’ve decided that Karen and Mark Chasity are both trans, and they both realised this only after Mark got pregnant with Grace, and they both just decided that they were gonna do everything they can to help each other through their transition and weren’t gonna tell Grace

Paul-is-Richie's-uncle people, this one's for you.

"Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em straight to hell! Assholes!"

This quote's exactly what Paul says in Honey Queen, and exactly what Richie says in Nerdy Prudes Must Die. I think all of us with the "Paul is Richie's uncle" headcanon have accepted that this is somehow correlated to that, so let me elaborate.

"Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em straight to hell. Assholes." is Paul's go-to phrase for saying "Fuck Clivesdale," just like "How about an iced caramel frap, nothing better" is his go-to for offering to pick up coffee for his coworkers. (The way he says "Fuck 'em" while talking to Emma about Clivesdale is very similar to the first fuck 'em in the phrase).

Paul's said it enough times around Richie that Richie's picked up on it and it's become his go-to as well.

Ruth making Richie watch monster high in middle school and Richie thinks Jackson Jekyll is hot. Next day he sees Pete and his world is destroyed because why are they the same person
