"Workin' Boys" Is Quite Vocal About Grace And Ted Mirroring Each Other Somewhat (both Believing The Show

"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.

Remember how in Black Friday Wiggly's influence was so corruptive that Tom was fully ready to beat up a child?

I wonder how prolonged exposure to an artifact associated with all 5 Lords in Black would affect the mental state of Grace Chasity, a teenager who had just gone through an extremely traumatic experience, lost the thing that had defined her sense of self and is already primed to put her trust in higher powers to give her a sense of control over her life?

I'm sure she'd handle it super well

Characters that would get along soo well would be Kissenna (from Godkiller- Hannah Kaner) and Gideon. I fucking swear to you. Them together would kill the book.
