i was scrolling through horror movie posters on pinterest and then i blacked out for 3.5 hours and drew this
"Workin' Boys" is quite vocal about Grace and Ted mirroring each other somewhat (both believing the show to be about prostitution, Ted being dead and Grace being a murderer by the end) and while many have already pointed out that they're both "doomed by the narrative" (Ted always dies, Grace always ends up the villain) I don't think we've talked about the fact that the way they're doomed are exact opposites of each other.
Ted always dies because he makes a (sometimes) selfish decision. He runs away in TGWDLM, he tries to take back Jenny in "Time Bastard", he gets up to leave in "Workin' Boys".
Grace always lives because she is forced to act selflessly by giving up her innocence. She has to let Boy Jerry and Girl Jeri get murdered to save Steph and Pete, she has to give up her chastity to save the world from Max, she has to shoot Hidgens to protect anyone else in the theatre.
Ted is a bastard who barely cares about what his actions are like in the minds of others. He always dies because of his bad decisions.
Grace is utterly devoted to a higher power and so desperately wants to be "good". It's never her choice to become evil, it's up to fate.
Omg... they were best mates 🥺
disability advocacy went wrong when it became about inspiration porn and “differently abled” and savants. its incredible that that guy with no legs did a triathlon but your sister with no legs will not and she doesnt need prosthetics or five hour training days to deserve respect and compassion and accommodations. its incredible that that autistic guy can look at a city from a helicopter for an hour and then draw the entire detailed skyline from memory when he lands but your autistic friend cannot and they dont need to have a special Autism Power to deserve respect and compassion and accommodations.
activism framed around “we are just as CAPABLE” means that when people genuinely are less capable they are left behind. activism framed around “we are just as WORTHY” is fundamental to radical compassion.
I believe you owe me some Ruth and Richie headcanons?
I love those silly billys so much
Firstly, I do have a little fanfic series (it's like 4 oneshots) that's like post npmd where Ruth and Richie come back as ghost (self promo because I don't have many headcanons to say right now)
Ruth:
Her favourite musical is Be More Chill
Sometimes she has a meltdown in a bathroom then calls it 'playing Michael In The Bathroom' because it makes her feel better about it
She was posting bad star wars fanfics on ff dot net, bad self insert fics on wattpad, and really good star wars fanfics on ao3
Her best subject is history because she gets too into researching it (if something mythology based is a class, then that's her favourite because sex myths)
She's constantly cold
Ruth exclusively owns novelty socks
Adhd
Richie:
His favourite anime is Soul Eater
He Naruto runs places without realizing it
Let his autistic ass stim, okay?
He hides behind Ruth a lot, despite being so much taller than her
He is Ruth's beta reader for fanfics
His best subject is math because 'it's just formulae' (his second best is art except his teacher hates him because he keeps handing in fanart)
He's constantly overheating
Divining the Future: The Black Tarot [The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals: Reprised! Kickstarter]
big fan of when youtubers break out the corkboard and string. thats when you know youre in for an insanely pointless breakdown of a media you're only tangentially familiar with.
Fletcher's best friend Marcie Brock, Eddie's younger (adopted) sister. Not much to say about her atm since I'm planning on eventually making some animations of them both, and Venom definitely needs a redesign
the mental health is stored in the drawing morig fot
Big on Legends of Avantris, Starkid and Smosh so there's gonna be a lot of that
