This Is What I Was Thinking! - Tumblr Posts

Ok so theory. Grace chastity is aro but allosexual. She never says anything about liking Max and in her song she sings "I don't care about you" but still finds him immensely hot.

She has no romantic interest in any of the men (which in this case is two) that are interested in her. For Max even if he wanted to have sex with Grace, he still asks her for a cuddle afterwards which kinda proves that he has more than a sexual interest in her. And for the second man shes the one that asks for a kiss and discards him right after she gets what she wants. Even though she says it was disgusting it's most likely her blaming her own problems on others and/or being in denial. I won't go into this now but it's shown in other parts of the musical.

Furthermore in nightmare time 2. When her friend asks if they could be more than friends she remains completely oblivious. I should also note she hasn't gone unhinged in nt2. Her unhingedness was caused by Max making outright sexual comments about her which causes her to have her first sexual thought ever. While in nt2 her friend was being more low-key and tried playing on the romantic aspect more.

I really like how they handled her honestly. The cliche thing that happens to characters similar to Grace is that their interested only in romance which sometimes is taken advantage of by their love interests (talking about some of the weird novels I've seen I'm not sure if this is a super common thing) but I'm just glad we got a character who isn't just aroace but is aro. It's either aroace or fully allo. Here's hoping this doesn't get ruined in future hachetfield projects.
