Maybe it’s just me, maybe I’m missing something, but the Benedict parents in the books were really something. They had twin boys and died in a lab accident, but not before giving their baby boys the totally normal names of “Nicholas and Ledroptha”.

Did you know that Curtain's number one career choice was to be a star on Broadway?
It's true! He auditioned several times, but got rejected for being a tone deaf horrible singer, awkward dancer, and just an overall unpleasant person to work with.
In his frustration, he decided to go with his backup career plan, which was world domination via brainwashing everyone on earth to follow his every command without question.
Game show host was his other backup, and reality tv star was his safety.
The lesson is to always have a backup plan. What a nice moral!

I have a fic idea: a working-on-redemption Curtain takes everyone to the theater to see a performance of Hadestown (no direct relevance that’s just my favorite musical). Everyone is very wary about it but Mr Benedict is excited because he loves spending time with his family and he enjoys going to the theater. Curtain tells them what the shows about, and Sticky informs everyone about all the different versions that exist of the Orpheus/Eurydice story and the Hades/Persephone story and really just Greek mythology in general. They arrive at the theater before he can finish, tragically. Everyone dressed in fancier clothing because Curtain nearly threw hands with Constance about it it’s proper theater etiquette. They run into Jackson and Jillson, who got jobs as ushers at the theater (at least they think they’re usher. Reynie also saw them when he was buying concessions at intermission).
I don’t have anything in the middle worked out, but by the end almost everyone is in tears and Kate hugs her friends and declares she would go to hell for any of them and not look back. (Potential angst moment: she gets separated from everyone as they’re leaving the theater because of all the chaos). Constance, however, fell asleep in her chair. Curtain, after a moments hesitation, picks her up and carries her out of the theater with Rhonda and Number Two on either side of him ready to catch her in case she falls or he drops her. Neither of those things happen though. Almost everyone falls asleep on the drive back. Milligan is driving and Curtain is still awake and now he tries to actually apologize rather than just get in good graces. How that goes depends on my mood while actually writing the fic.

the quiet “i’m so proud of you” from mr benedict followed by curtain’s face falling like he’s so caught off guard by the compliment (and perhaps feeling a little guilty/awkward for manipulating his own brother into being in such a happy carefree state?? idk debatable) oh my fucking GOD stopppp 😭😭😭

For as much as we talk about Nathaniel Benedict's fake bookshelves in season 1 and his fake fireplace in season 2, I want to draw attention to the fact that he also went through the trouble of installing not one but TWO fake window cranks in the car he used to kidnap Nicholas and Number Two.
Because that took effort, and he already installed a secret snack compartment for them just to flex how good he was at cooking and how he anticipated they would get hangry and frustrated. What do you think his thought process was here?
"I'll put in a few little snacks for Nicky Nicholas and his friend, just to show them I know all about her preferred eating habits and how angry she gets when she's hungry, yes...oh, and wouldn't it be funny if I put fake window cranks in the car that were loose and not attached to anything and broke off in their hands when they tried to escape, oh that would be hilarious and a great use of my time and money."
I think after seeing his twin again in Season 1, a part of Nathaniel Benedict subconsciously realized that what he really wanted wasn't to shock and torture his twin, but to mess with him like an annoying sibling again through an elaborate series of pranks.

Tony Hale is haunting me I think. Why is this man in all my gay little shows.
