Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that Hannah is a total innocent or anything and I like Stephanie as well, I'm just merely providing a possible alternative viewpoint. I think calling her an "avalanche" might be a good way of describing her. As I said, she seems very brazen and self-assured and willing to just barrel through others. But I don't know if she does it out of malice or not so, again, avalanche might be apt for she's seemingly like a force of nature. It makes me wonder, if it hasn't already come up, what would happen if her and Chelsea were to cross paths in a significant way.

I also can't say much on what she's accomplishing with Will yet because... I don't know. I have vague, but not concrete, notions of where things could go but that doesn't necessarily mean they will because this storyline has been very fluid. To give an example, with Joyce I had originally had the idea of her being an option that Laurent points Will towards as maybe offering to take Will upstairs because she was looking to get laid so the opportunity to grab her would be there. But as I was writing I realized it didn't fit so I just dropped it and replaced it with Laurent having her go over to tease Will since that seemed like a jockish thing to do and Laurent seeing it as good natured ribbing (whether or not it is). So Hannah might be trying to help out Will and Elsie thinking what works for her is one size fits all, she could feel sympathy for him, maybe she thinks all of this can be used to deal with her rivals before they do stuff, maybe she's just messing around herself and isn't thinking of anything at all, maybe it's something else entirely.

As for Marc, I think it's simply a case of putting him on a pedestal. The precedent is already there and I don't think it's any more messed up than anything most anyone else has done. I think the nature of BoM means you have to accept a slightly looser morality or everyone becomes a villain. Look at the Youtuber branch for instance and how casual they are with doing their thing, or how someone like Caleb seems to show little scruples in using the masks. Marc, again, I think is no less good or bad than most of the other characters and he probably doesn't think anything more than this being something that him and Hannah are going to use for some kinky roleplaying. He may not know if Hannah has some grander ideas and maybe Hannah herself doesn't even know.
