the summoning's impact on grace
second long grace analysis of the day but i cant stop thinking about her so here we go
besides singing with steph and pete in the intro, grace is silent for all of the summoning. that fact alone kills me. grace, the feral ridiculous speak-before-thinking girl doesn't say a word. and not only that, this is the face she makes while summoning the lords in black.
the other two are scared, but she is in pain. she is actively, decisively, consciously doing something so deeply in contradiction with her belief in god (summoning essentially the devil/other gods) that it hurts her. everything up until this point has led her to be desperate enough to make this decision. but summoning the lords is what, in my opinion, truly broke her.
well, partially.
because when the lords reveal that they need one of the three to give up what they cherish most, grace knows right away what she needs to do. and it fucking terrifies her that she knows she will be able to do it. she's been broken open enough that it doesn't matter anymore. and that is so painful. she can give her chastity up because she's already done something so horrible that god will never accept her again (in her mind). the second wiggly says "what you cherish most" this is the expression on grace's face that mostly stays for the rest of the song.
realization, terror, disgust, grief, resolve. in one moment, one glance upwards towards where her god once was. it's so powerful, and so heartbreaking. among all the chaos and drama of this song, grace is unraveling. she doesn't get a ballad, or even a word. she doesn't get to hesitate, to weigh her options. she knows what must be done.
and then, when she goes through with it and seduces max, amid all the bravado and flirtation of that scene, the mask slips for a second as she admits he was right about her. she cringes a little, and we see that pain and guilt in her eyes one last time before she loses herself entirely.
after this, the tender and terrified side of grace is gone. it's just the unhinged and vengeful part that was there all along, yes, but now is on full display. she gives herself up entirely to the lords in black. anything to numb the overwhelming guilt about what she's done. anything to not think about the eternity in hell she believes awaits her. anything to feel righteous again.

what if Jenny's soul has resided in the Black and White since she disintegrated on the street. what if she lives on in Tinky's domain, not in his box but stuck at his side, watching him collect. and she knows exactly what Ted did. who he became, and why. that as her ashes scattered to the wind, never to be laid to rest, her death never even discovered because her family had already disowned her for moving to Clivesdale, Ted was learning that nice guys finish last. he was changing himself into the very person who destroyed her.
what if Jenny knows every timeline. what if she watches him sleaze around and objectify women and abandon friends and die, alone and miserable, over and over and over. and at first she feels sorry for him. she hopes that maybe, with so many chances, maybe one of them will learn. maybe there's a Ted out there in the shattered timelines who will figure it out, give up on this persona and become the Teddy she loved again. but time and time again, he doesn't. he never will. and Jenny can't care anymore.
what if Jenny looks on, cold and detached, every time he recounts his sob story. what if her disappointment gradually morphs into hatred, and she can't help feeling a little satisfied whenever he suffers. she starts to understand why Tinky thinks it's so funny. she starts to laugh, too.
what if Jenny allies herself with Tinky, no longer a prisoner of circumstance but a follower - an assistant of sorts. helping him collect, helping him tinker and play between timelines. watching the timeline Homeless Ted would come from, as the canon event approached. and when it did, watching him tell Hidgens about her, and wanting to really rub some salt in his wound.
what if when Ted hallucinated his and Jenny's wedding, when she appeared to him in that vision, it was really her? a remnant of her soul, stuck in the void, twisted by pain and resentment, showing herself only to mock him with what they could've had. what he destroyed. what he will destroy, and would whether she'd appeared to him or not. because he already did, and she paid the price. and now he will, too.
what if every time the Bastards Box is opened, Ted sees two faces sneering down at him, howling with laughter. the god of his torment, and the love of his life.
You ever think about how Grace’s rampage at the end of NPMD is more about her projecting her own self hatred on shame onto the people around them and making them pay for the things she feels ashamed about because frankly I don’t think we discuss that enough
NPMD incorrect quotes part 10: oops all Grace
OK THIS IS THE LAST HATCHETFIELD REDUCTRESS HEADLINE POST I SWEAR THEY'RE JUST SO FUN TO MAKE
also the other 2 parts to this I did

“I asked chat gpt.” “I asked grok.” well I asked Mr. Davidson and he said he wanted to be choked by his wife while he jerked off
Pete could never match their combined freak
average coworker interaction at CCRP
Ok so my dad just told me that earlier today he remembered a Starkid actor had a real name that sounded like a fake name and he could not for the life of him remember what it was and for some reason the name “Joe Humungous” kept coming into his head. He eventually figured out he was thinking of Curt Mega.
It should be noted that in my house we still to this day call Curt mega Joe Humongous if he ever comes up in conversation even though it’s been over a year
tgwdlm au where act 2 opens and max jägerman is walking down the hallway confused off his ass because everyone keeps SINGING and DANCING and EXCEEDING THIS SCHOOL'S THEATER KID QUOTA, (THEY'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS. ABOVE OR BELOW THIS EXACT NUMBER AND HATCHETFIELD HIGH'S ECOSYSTEM STARTS TO CRUMBLE, IF IT GETS TOO HIGH THEY MIGHT ACTUALLY BECOME A THREAT) and TRYING TO FIGHT BACK (to HIM?? their GOD??) and overhears bill saying that his daughter alice (the girl who hangs out with the smoke club sometimes but never actually smokes? deb's girlfriend? the girl from CLIVESDALE??) should date someone like grace chasity instead (HELL NO. he will not lose grace chasity to any girl from hatchetfield, and he will not lose grace chasity to any girl from CLIVESDALE.) and is blinded with such murderous rage that he doesnt hear the rest of the conversation. and then that CLIVESDALE BITCH bursts in and starts SINGING (SERENADING GRACE??) HELL no. he sees them lean down and pick up a gun and sees red. he wrestles it out of their hands while paul is talking bill down and shoots the infected (he doesnt even know theyre infected). he then latches on to bill and paul like a muscular, morally defunct baby duck to mama and papa.
so now paul is trying to get back to the hidgens lab but he's stuck with a best friend that is not doing well and keeps asking what the point is of living without his daughter and why they're traveling with the kid that 'killed' his daughter and also this tall, strong, and angry teenage boy that paul is pretty sure is a bully (like a 'give me your lunch money', 'flick-it-ticket' bully) and cannot say with 100% certainty was aware of the infected he killed even being infected, who keeps calling paul's guns 'cool' (paul has to carry the guns because bill is still teetering on the edge of suicide and max would probably kill regular people along with the infected if he was in charge. this is worrying because paul can't shoot for shit, but he is the only one who CAN hold the weapons right now, so that's exactly what he'll do.)
they come back and paul lets max kill hidgens and ted stares.
(beat) "that's not alice. that's not one of pete's loser friends. that's the SCHOOL BULLY that BEAT MY LITTLE BROTHER UP OUTSIDE A PASQUALLI'S last week. you grabbed the wrong one ya noodle!"
max adjusts to the apocalypse surprisingly well. alright, so the ecosystem's shifted now. a new predator has been introduced, and it's up to him and these dorks (and also paul, who has bought his loyalty by letting him kill hidge) to eliminate it so he can reclaim his rightful place at the top. he always knew it would be the fucking theater kids.
