I've been writing a season of Nightmare Time in my head that follows the five years after Max Jagerman is saved from the Waylon House. Grace's episode is... well. When Grace Chasity doesn't find chaos, the chaos comes to her.
(click through for better quality, comic dialogue + descriptions under the cut for easier reading)
All comic panels are on a light blue background; characters are in thin black linework.
[FIRST PANEL: External shot of Hatchetfield's Church, surrounded by trees and greenery.]
Grace Chasity: Mom, Dad you guys go ahead.
[SECOND PANEL: Ext. Church zoomed in to Grace standing outside the church doors. Her parents walk away, Karen waves goodbye to her. Grace waves back.]
Karen Chasity: Are you sure, sweetie?
Mark Chasity: Oh, let her pray, mother.
Karen: She's so devoted. Alright dear, we'll see you at home.
[THIRD PANEL: Int. view of Grace's side profile, lowering her hand, smile faded. Behind her on the wall is a stained glass window depicting Eve Tempted By The Serpent by William Blake. All the glass pieces are varying shades of blue, navy, muted light and dark teals. The only thing in vivid color is the apple in lime green. It hangs above Grace's head before she walks back inside, revealing the whole painting. She kneels at a pew and sighs.]
[FOURTH PANEL: Front-on view of Grace, hands together in prayer. There's a ping of a notification, and she opens an eye to look.]
[FIFTH PANEL: She glances over to a group chat. In it are Max, Grace, Ruth, Richie, Pete, and Steph. The texts read as follows:
Max Jagerman: hey nerdz, party @ Kyle's
Richie: We're invited??
Max Jagerman: txt 1- ya U saved my life dumbazzes lol. just dont b lame / txt 2- will u b there, Grace / txt 3- two flirty face emojis
Grace slams the phone face down.]
[SIXTH PANEL: Grace holds her hands in prayer tighter, looking grumpier and grumbling under her breath. Her head perks up at a voice; a black speech bubble with lime green text appears on the right.
Man: This world needs a cleanse, don't it?]
[SEVENTH PANEL: Grace over to her left, our right. Beside her Wilbur Cross, palms together in prayer obscuring a smirking face. Side profile of Grace trying to refocus but she can't help but side eye.
Grace: I don't know if you're new here, but for future reference: it's rude to interrupt somebody in prayer.
Wilbur Cross: Oh, but God's always listening anyway, ain't he? He knows what's in your heart.]
[EIGHTH PANEL: View over Wilbur's shoulder; devious eyes, serpent smile.
Wilbur: Maybe I know what's in yours, too.
Grace grabs her things and stands up to leave.
Grace: You, sir, don't know anything. Now please, if you'd excuse me.]
[NINTH PANEL: Grace, walking away, is stopped in her tracks when Wilbur next speaks.
Grace (mumbling): Criminy, some people...
Wilbur: That Maxy-Poo really got to your pretty little head there, Amazin' Grace.]
[TENTH PANEL: Grace looks back, altar behind her. Wilbur leans back and laxly rests his arms on the pew.
Grace: What... you...
Wilbur: Not so hasty now. Come on, sit yourself down, I won't bite.
Grace hesitates, then sits down a few pews ahead of him needing distance but... listening. Pew by pew, Wilbur inches closer.
Wilbur: I'll cut right to the chase, Grace. This world is... dirty. Lot of Jagermen out there making OUR jobs a whole lot harder. What job is that? Serving the Powers That Be. Now, I get the feeling that this is really tearing you up inside. And you hold it all on your shoulders, 'cause no one understands.]
[TENTH PANEL: Wilbur, synthetically sympathetic face, puts a hand to his heart. Grace looks over her shoulder and looks troubled.
Wilbur: But I do. And I say it's okay. UNLOAD that burden.]
[ELEVENTH PANEL: Shot of Grace from the lips down, legs crossed tight and body tense. Accompanied are an image of Max, a close-up of Wilbur's eyes in which his view of Grace is reflected in full color, and a close-up of her hand flexing and wanting. Her speech bubbles, originally a buttery yellow, start fading to green.
Grace: Ever since that creep-- MAX JAGERMAN-- started bothering me, things have gone to all heck. I'm feeling things that are so... u n n a t u r a l. My mind's been POISONED.]
[TWELFTH PANEL: Close-up of Grace's hand by her crucifix necklace. She reaches for her cross, Cross reaches for her.
Wilbur: And this is what makes us kindred spirits, you and I. That thing in your heart. WRATH.]
[THIRTEENTH PANEL: Grace front-on, quiet fury on her face. The page is colored dark black at the top and fades back to light blue towards the bottom. His words surround her from all sides.
Wilbur: Don't it just burn you up inside? The injustice? The grime? The FILTH? ... 'Course, it doesn't have to. You can make it go AWAY.]
[FOURTEENTH PANEL: Grace has a tentative expression, wanting to believe. Behind her Cross smiles and gets up. He's won his kill
Grace: I... I can?
Wilbur: 'Course you can. After all...]
[FIFTEENTH PANEL: Wilbur behind her, leaving. Grace is still looking forward contemplative. Her speech bubbles have become Wilbur's inverse, lime green on black text.
Wilbur: YOU, Grace Chasity, are the most important girl in the world.
Grace (confused, whips head): Me? What are you--]
[SIXTEENTH PANEL: Wide shot Grace looking over her shoulder, church interior sprawling behind her. Pews, high ceilings, crucifix statue behind an altar table. Back to front-on shot of her. She looks forward and then downward.]
[SEVENTEENTH PANEL: Atop her phone is a green apple that wasn't there before. Close-up view that takes up most of the panel of her hand holding the apple. View zooms out, all surroundings have faded, save for Grace from the torso up assessing what's in her hand. One step closer to darkness.]
Consider this the part 1 origin of my Unstuck AU wherein Ted is saved from a life of torment within the bastard box. Hoping when I have the energy I can release the part 2 that happens in btwn Hidgens experiments and the phone call (heavily featuring our favorite red-haired witch)
This is what Ted is seeing/feeling in the last panel. Btw.
I feel like people in the Starkid fandom don't feel they're allowed to enjoy original Hidgens or original Ethan because of the (deserved) hate for the actor.
Fuck him, and it's good that he's gone, but I feel this is a situation where it's perfectly fine to divorce the performance from the actor. It's not like you're giving him any money or fame by enjoying what he did in a company he no longer works with. And he was a very good performer. He did a really good job. It's fine to admit that. It's fine to enjoy it.
Idk, it's just weird to me when people let unnecessary guilt prevent them from enjoying things. (Or like they convince themselves that because he was a bad person he was also a bad performer. That one is just a lie.)
Shakes the Starkid Fandom by the sholders. BILL is Paul's best friend. Not Ted. Paul babysat ALICE for BILL. He offers to get BILL a caramel frappe from Beanies. He's comfortable with BILL. BILL is his friend. BILL. BILL WOODWARD. WILLIAM WOODWARD WHO IS PLAYED BY ACTOR COREY DORRIS. HE IS PAUL'S BFF.
Hope to see everyone this Saturday at 10am PST on the Starkid youtube channel for our kick-off livestream! I think this is going to be one of our most exciting launches 🚀 to date ❤️
StarKid's hit horror comedy musical returns to the stage with this show-stopping remount! Rejoice! Your Apotheosis is upon you...
I want a production of TGWDLM with no music. All the songs are singing (with people backstage singing harmonies) to put us in Paul's shoes. Unless Hidgens is playing the keyboard, show stopping number is just him until the infected enter the stage.
The exception to the no music would be half way through Let It Out and Inevitable.
The music starting in Let It Out would show Paul fucking fighting to stay himself or whatever and in my mind everything would need to be perfectly timed so his 'speaking' has no music but his singing does and the music varies in volume throughout the song depending on how much the apotheosis is affecting him or whatever.
Inevitable starts with music and Emma wouldn't be able to hear it because she's not infected. But we can hear it. Because we hear the music Paul hears.
Yall know NPMD right? Bc I need someone to talk about it bc my friends are annoyed at me already after I made them watch Hamilton 3 times and they don’t wanna see another musical with me, and I literally NEED someone to talk about NPMD because it’s an addiction honestly
Judith was born 15th February in France, Strasbourg. She stayed for a two years before moving to clivesdale. She was confident and outgoing as a child, making friends almost all the time! She was fairly popular before she started going to high school. So when she eventually went, she joined the baseball team and has been on it ever since!
Judith has always had a thing for lying, she’s been good at it. Her parents have always helped her out of trouble. when she was little? Her mum would defend her against the relatives. When she was 10? Her friends would defend her against a teacher who rightfully scolded her. Judith attempts to stop herself, but once you’re in it’s hard to get out. Like any addiction. Was it the moment she got validation from it? The moment she managed to get her first lie out? Or maybe she was a liar in her past life?
She made friends with everyone on the cheer team, specifically Zahar. They’re best friends and inseparable, Zahar always cheers her on and Judith buys Zahar sweets. They both share a strong sweet tooth, and will find any excuse to eat as much sweets as possible.
Facts:
- Judith is dating Dante!
- I originally thought of her when I was listening to ‘our word’ ^_^;;
- she has a resting bitch face, so she always has to smile just to not seem mean.
- Weirdly good at all board games, even the ones she hasn’t heard of before.
- her favourite animals are otters!
- she tries to bribe Chau for any gift ideas for Dante!
