I forgot, is Steve the NK's real name?

Is this the NK before he became the NK?

A few pages ago, Besty seemed to reveal that Steve was the Nightmare Knight's real name.

However now he's fallen down into a pit and found... someone??? who he recognizes as Steve. How this guy relates to the Nightmare Knight we know I have no idea!

Suddenly it occurs to me, that great shot of everyone going "You call the Nightmare Knight "Steve"?????? is the lot of them jumping to the same conclusion... And nobody actually said it out loud for Besty to confirm.

....This just raises further questions!!!

I guess there's more than one Nightmare Knight, maybe even a whole species of them, and this one happens to be an adorable goofball named Steve.

Is he just NK's super chill cousin or something

Classic Yoda magic. The kind where you send someone into a hole to confront their dad issues. Hopefully Besty doesn't cut off Steve's head only to find his own face under the helmet.

We may have finally found unobtainium but I will never find eywa.

My theory is that punching a drain hole into The Besty Zone created a path to a "minus world" of sorts. Looks to me like Steve is the real forbidden character here and now were looking at some behind the curtain "Out of Play" area of CQ's meta-narrative.

Also of note, NK has beefy fierce arms and a huge torso but tiny little legs. Steve is sporting tube arms and massive armored legs.

Maybe two sides to the same original person.

I used to think Cucumber Quest was a subversive take on Paper Mario games, but then I watched an LP of Thousand-Year Door years after playing it, and noticed that the comic is a fairly straight replication of the games instead of anything subversive.

Well maybe we'll figure out where all those bathtub drains actually drain to.

If it's in fact always the same place. If they saw a big deluge of inexplicable water some time ago, we'll know.

Arguably whoever put the "bathtub drain (TO HELL but I won't mention this)" spell in the hopper for children to randomly get is the one to blame.

So, if KN is dark and foreboding, but is really not into world conquest. Then Steve here is going to be the most goofball yet effective conqueror that Dreamside has ever seen.

Since Thebestmaster is not connected with any of the dream stones, there might be another six Disaster Masters associated with Steve as well.

I won't guess as to their effectiveness just yet.
