I admittedly had less historical context at the time, but I always wrote Web and Nix low-key fighting if the other showed up because of the infamous Harvard/Yale rivalry. There's just something so funny to me about having the same experience and just immediately detesting each other instead.

i answer this in the prev ask so go there if you want more in depth anon but you are ALSO so very correct mWAH you're so smart

i also think that nix hhated or was annoyed by web bc, unlike him, web took pride in being from harvard, studying from harvard, sseeing it as a badge of honor meanwhile nix saw it as another burden his family name put on him. sure, web's parents would LOVE to brag about their son being in harvard, but at least he's in harvard to become sometjign he actually wantsnto become. meanwhile, nix is in yale bc his forebears happened to have gone to yale too, so it's only fair he does. does he want to actually be there? who knows? he's just doing as is expected of him.

ultimately it results in these two boys with varying issues surrounding their own special family dynamics, projecting their woes unto each other with very minimal self awareness. terrible for them. HILARIOUS for us.
