#bex mannion
my bestie and i have gone from wishing for natebex in a “rupert gets cheated on without knowing” way to a “rupert orchestrates it all because he thinks that could make them easier to manipulate, but it backfires” way. just them being subtly pushed to interact more by rupert in a way that maybe even the audience doesn’t realise, until it becomes obvious. but then, it is real, more real than rupert could have hoped for, and it backfires (because i desperately want them to be the ones who expose rupert)
(and listen, yes, this has big “rupert as a master villain” vibes but it’s not like this will happen in canon anyway, so i can toy around with rupert! because he’s FUN to imagine doing stuff that can just be Messy without any need to justify him, because there just isn’t a justification)

big brained crackship (is it crackship if they’re bound to have at least SOME interactions in s3?)
