Some stuff about these 4 creachers in particular:
Claudia & Dominique (birth/given name Domingo): Claudia is the older sister at 21 while Domi is 19. She's overall a bit mean to him and always going "IDK him. Haven't heard of him in my life", when in reality she loves him a lot & will always look out for him, she's just really, REALLY bad at showing affection. Domi on the other hand is like a sad wet puppy when it comes to his sister, he often looks for her approval and brags about how smart & cool his sister is, even when most people who know her would only agree with the smart part. They used to be very close, and he feels like he did something wrong that made them drift apart (he didn't, Claudia just gained issues). Neither of them like their birth names because they "sound like old-people names", but Domi is the only one who goes by something different since Claudia considers it a bother to change. Also, Domi knows his name is usually spelled "Dominic", he just thinks "Dominique" looks cooler on paper. Also also, when Claudia finds out someone's being even slightly mean to her brother she tries to scare them off but it barely ever works due to the fact that she's very scrawny and needs help opening water bottles, SAD. (it's fine though cause she ends up talking about it to Candy (who has a huge crush on her and is friends with Domi), and she's way stronger despite her cutesy appearance)
Angel & Aurora: They've been besties for around three years now, starting in their 3rd year of high school, when Aurora was transferred into their school and Angel didn't know she was a girl yet. Aurora was really popular at first, until she demonstrated her love for all things magical and her desire to become a witch herself (in an almost completely non-magic user school), which most people found off-putting due to the degree of her passion. She first knew about Angel, who was from a different class, when someone mentioned "that weird guy with the spellbooks", and started pestering her non-stop to be friends, with Angel finding it difficult to admit that she did want Aurora as a friend. Eventually, Aurora started to feel genuinely rejected by Angel and left her alone, so Angel had to actually make an effort and face the mortifying ordeal of reaching out to someone with rejection on the line. It goes well (obvi), and they become very close with Angel trying to teach Aurora some spells and Aurora messing up a lot. Also, Aurora was the one who helped Angel realize she was trans while they were having a sleepover: Angel was talking about how uncomfortable she felt all the time and how she felt as if girls had everything she wanted, and Aurora just goes "? Just be a girl then!" and Angel is like. :o . She does have a lot, a LOT of anxieties about being trans though, and Aurora helps her a lot with her "it'll all be fine in the end and if it's not fine, then it's not the end!" attitude.

I think it would really benefit people to internalize that mental illnesses are often chronic and not acute. Some of us will never be able to jump the hurdle of managing illness, much less sustaining a sense of normalcy. Many of us will never "recover," will never manage symptoms, will never even come close to appearing normal - and this is for any condition, even the ones labeled as "simple" disorders or "easy-to-manage" disorders.
It isn't a failure if you cannot manage your symptoms. It isn't a moral failure, and you aren't an awful person. You are human. There's only so much you can do before recognizing that you cannot lift the world. Give yourself the space to be ill because, functionally, you are.

WAIT I WANNA BRING UP ANOTHER THING ABOUT HOW BULLYING IS ADDRESSED IN NERDY PRUDES MUST DIE. one thing I really liked about how Max is shown as a bully is his talk with Pete at the Pasqualli's parking lot. When Pete tries to stand up to Max, Max pushes him down and emphasizes that Pete isn't a loser because of his own qualities - rather, Pete is a loser because Max simply said so.
Of course we can attribute this to Max's god complex but I think that this point in particular is less than often really brought up in teen-centered media featuring bullying: that bullying exists not because of nerdy behavior or whatever the fuck, but because bullies will it into being. And to have a BULLY of all people say that out loud - to have the main villain point out the root of their behavior without showing any kind of shame whatsoever - showcases just how much of a menace Max is.

Something I wonder about Simon and Betty's relationship is how long they were together before the whole crown ordeal. But they were engaged, you say. My aunt (in)famously met my uncle and had a ring on her finger in 8 weeks. We've seen that both Betty and Simon were both weird outcasts, crazy determined and a pinch insane. I would not be surprised if they decided they'd met their one true love and got engaged super quick.
My point being, Betty's shifting to revolve around Simon and Simon's rose colored glasses of their relationship feels very much like New Love. They're people who love each other and love being a couple but still haven't quite figured out how to coexist together, as two people in a partnership. I feel like if they'd known each other longer, lived together longer, some of the issues we're seeing would have probably self resolved.
I don't think their relationship is toxic nor is it totally perfect. It's two lonely, most likely neurodivergent people in a relatively early relationship still figuring out how it works. Everything that happened afterwards: the crown, the seperation, the time travel, the magic/madness/sadness just exemplified issues they had both as individuals and as a couple.
