i want to see Black Friday without the evil influence of Wiggly, but with all of the demand for him that was there. That is basically Frank, getting ready for Christmas, putting some decorations over all of his shop and singing some stupid incoherent stuff, literally about anything that comes to his mind, doing little dances of happiness... Being the definition of relieved, because he is safe!! He is going to get a lot of money and that will be enough to keep his dream up. With Lex rolling her eyes and acting annoyed, but also smiling happily and helping him at her last day of working as his shop assistant, excited to find the freedom and safety she was longing for for a while, to later find out that it's even better than she expected. With Tom getting the toy he believed Tim to want, and Tim being happy/chill about this toy, but being much more happy at seeing his father being excited to give him the surprise he wanted Tim to like, looking much more thrilled to live after finding his first love, joking around and giving his close ones the smiles that are contagious, making them feel the warmth of a fire that ignited in Tom once again, which makes Tom realize that what Tim actually wants is seeing him happy and alive once again. Linda trying a new role, as, for example, the director of a school, and finding that she is surprisingly good at it, and finding the adoration and respect and validation in it, finally being able to relax and actually feeling appreciated. Wilbur, meeting John (McNamara), and remembering why he joined the PEIP in the first place, and so on and so on

I understand that all of it does not line up with the reason BF was even created and that it probably wouldn't be that interesting, but i genuinely want all of them to be happy, and want a " them celebrating Christmas without anyone getting hurt" story for them, aside the one that we already have

Clivesdale residents: We really have no idea what happens in Hatchetfield but-
Ted, Charlotte and Sam: *Singing randomly as they go about their day*
Grace: *Cheerfully murdering guys with a book to a chorus of screams*
Professor Hidgens: *Screaming on and on about ridiculous conspiracy theories*
Sherman, Linda and Tom: *On their knees worshiping some kind of stuffed doll*
Alice and General MacNamara: *Randomly jump out of the bushes to shoot them down*
Peanuts the pocket-sized squirrel: *Cheering them on from General MacNamara’s pocket*
Ziggs and Danny: *Smoking weed*
Deb: *Is in a scream-fight with Bill right next to them*
Paul and Emma: *Casually flirting as this all goes down but stop every once in a while to cuss out the Clivesdale residents*
Clivesdale residents, grimacing: At this point, we really don’t want to know.

I feel like Grace is being done a little dirty. Because my read on her character is way different than everyone else's. I see a lot of people read her as inherently bad or evil, but I read her as a genuinely good person raised in an evil environment (that is, fundamental Christianity.)

In Perky's Buds, although she's trying to shut down the pot farm, she's not even doing it because she hates pot. She's doing it because Nighthawks are getting stoned and put into danger. And even when Emma runs into her at the end, Grace isn't mean to her. Even after Emma sprayed her with literal shit, Grace is surprisingly kind, and while she assumes Emma is just delusional from smoking too much pot, she still has the foresight and awareness to realize Emma had put herself in a bad situation and called the authorities to help her (mind, it was a Hatchetfield cop, but a girl raised as she was wouldn't have the social awareness of why that is bad.)

In Abstinence Camp, everyone talks about how she has the axe by the end and takes the Axeman's place as the killer. And while she DOES kinda threaten everyone with the presence of it, she doesn't make an attempt to use it (albeit this is the end of the episode so). She throws herself over Steph to protect her from an axe, and genuinely views her as her best friend. And she doesn't even agree with the punishment of the sexually active teens, she believes they need to participate in order to recover.

Grace is arguably at her most antagonistic in Nerdy Prudes Must Die. But her villain song at the end specifically references how her victims are other people who participated in the bullying of the Nerdy Prudes, and she's now taking HER revenge to protect them.

In all 3 cases though, her most negative decisions, or the ones that trigger her downfall, are not due to Hatchetfield craziness but her religion. The police are good and help us (WASPs that is.) God says sex is bad so I'll intimidate everyone to stay here. God says sex is bad, so we need to get back at Jagerman!

And like... I feel bad for Grace. Because I WAS Grace. I grew up with a lot of guilt for being gay. I bought into every bullshit Abstinence program, because "That makes me one of the good ones". Even after realizing it was all bullshit rhetoric, that shit stays with you for so fucking long. I was that Nerdy Prude, well meaning but ultimately intolerable to be around lol.

So like... you go Grace, be your Nerdy Prude self and hopefully if we ever get an ending to Hatchetfield where you're all ever able to survive, you grow out of it!
