#high school is killing me

[kairithemang0]

"I'm gay" "I'm straight" ok??? I'm dead, the blood is all but draining from my head, the nightmare started there but now has spread, my pulse is certainly dropping and my life is hanging on my a thread

Can we talk about this parallel?

Like, in the first pic we have Grace before her descent into madness, flanked by both Steph and Pete. This is the inciting incident that ultimately causes the rest of the show.

Then in the second pic Grace has fully lost it and become the cataclysmic event. She has completely betrayed her morals and her perception of the world has warped far beyond how it was in the beginning.

The stances mirror each other but also say so much about the character.

In the first one, her feet are touching, her other arm is flat, palm extended, against her side, and her hand is open and reaching into the air. Her shoulders are tilted from how far she is reaching into the air. What she’s doing shows how much, in this moment, she is simply a follower. She will betray her classmates because that’s what authority figures in her life expect of her.

Then, in the second pic, she’s in a wide stance, her fist is in the air, her other hand is clutching the black book (a parallel to the metaphorical and sometimes literal bible she had been clutching for her entire life before this point). She’s confident and has become more than just a follower of God, but His righteous hand.

Just. These two moments. The lighting, how they define the story, how these moments define the character. How she’s ALONE in the end. Not even Steph and Pete, who she was with for the core moments of the story and with her for most of the other moments that cause and show her descent, are with her. It’s not about Nerdy Prudes anymore, and only Grace and Grace alone care about ridding the world of Dirty Dudes (and hasn’t she since the beginning? Hasn’t she always cared about chastity and purity when no one else around her had? Wasn’t it those ideals that eventually lead her down this path? Was this always her fate? Was she doomed from the beginning?)

Anyone else getting "More Than Survive" vibes from "High School is Killing Me?" Or is that just the ghost of my 2018 Be More Chill obsession rearing its ugly head?

to your hatchetfielf request, Grace Chasity ratting out Steph and Peter for cheating on the test?

I’d like to thank my artist mother for helping me with the posing 🔥 I’m so lucky to have her but also very unlucky because sometimes she’ll look over my shoulder, go “hm” and then not say anything like LADY. PLEASE.

Anyways. I unironically love Grace Chasity’s outfit and I would wear it. Genuinely.

High school is killing me

It's got me out of rhythm and my melody

A truly cruel and unusual brutality

#nerdy prudes must die #npmd #starkid #high school is killing me #im absolutely crap at spanish btw yall #and i think my teacher is like the spawn of satan #i will fist fight her (i love teachers they're trying their best but i just hate her) #hatchetfield

"HIGH SCHOOL IS KILLING ME" IS SUCH A FUCKING BANGER

It's such a fucking banger. It goes so hard.

The driving rock, the harmonies, the scoops, the perfect first f-bomb, the epic banality of Stephanie's last night, the class of twenty-twenty-wurn, the whispered "I'm so fuckin' dead," the spotlight on Grace, lifting the chairs, the howling, Grace's flinch, it's SO MUCH.

I can't really blame Steph for cheating on that exam; all's fair in love and calculus testing.

[starcanwrecked-confessions]

The start of High School is Killing Me is amazing, with Ruth and Richie singing together. But the rest of it is pretty mid, and the only reason I don't skip it when watching NPMD is because it has dialogue (Pete, Steph and Grace)
