nyt: did women ruin the workplace?🤔

so i was rewatching some hatchetfield stuff and i came to. a realization.

grace chasity and ted spankoffski are practically eachother’s exact opposites, and it makes both of their individuals stories so compelling. i wouldn’t exactly say they’re narrative foils, because we never really see them interact in canon, so they’re more almost… parallels.

for example, ted spankoffski proudly accepts the moniker of “horny bastard”, and plays right into it, not hiding his sexual urges. grace chasity’s belief that her sexual urges and fantasies are sinful put her through so much distress that she winds up killing somebody.

on the other hand, ted spankoffski is ultimately very concerned by murder and violence. grace thinks nothing of it, even going as far as to gleefully dismember a body and hide it under floorboards. queen!

grace valued her chastity most of all, but she gave it up to save her friends and ultimately the world. ted, however, thoroughly enjoys sleeping around and being a total sleazeball, but was willing to give it up for another chance with jenny (although he did try to use these sleazeball ways to help him achieve that goal)

the most important comparison is something that isn’t Entirely canon but i feel as though is Implied. i believe that in every timeline, ted spankoffski will die. i also believe that in every timeline, grace chasity will kill. again, directly contrasting eachother, but in a much more drastic way. there are many other parallels between the two i just can’t think of specifics rn

additionally, in the nerdy prudes must die timeline, grace goes on a murderous rampage against all “dirty dudes”, fuelled by the lords in black. and what is theodore spankoffski if not the dirtiest dude of all? there’s no way he’s making it out of that.

i think that the only time grace and ted’s paths will ever notably cross in any timeline is when grace kills ted. this thought is made even More Impactful when you consider grace’s kind-of-friendship with Pete.

decided that i probably should just. Sit down and get some canon iterators designed. I had NO ideas for SoS or GW, so that’s why they aren’t here :-) (maybe ill design em soon? dunno)

they’re all inspired by different creatures in the game! some r easier to see than others lol :-]

left to right goes

moon, pebbles, suns, sig, and innocence.

more design rambling and heeadcanons under the cut!
