#paul and emma from the guy who didn't like musicals

[demigods-posts]

being a pjo fan means consuming every piece of media you can get your grimy little hands on. and scrounging around at the bottom of the barrel like a raccoon. and trying to find two characters that mirror the percabeth dynamic. it's in the contract.

The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals Swap AU! Featuring King of the Sassyman apocalypse Paul Perkins and Cringe girlfailure Emma Mathews

Something I made up in high school when I was really into making Swap AUs for no reason of all the medias I liked. Thought this one was actually something so I wanted to draw it. I have a bunch more doodles so maybe I’ll go back and remake those someday.

You can prolly tell who I swapped already but Paul and Emma swapped, Charlotte and Mr. Davidson (and co.) swapped, Ted and Greenpeace girl (and co.) swapped, and Bill and Mr. Hidgens are swapped ( but I didn’t draw “Bill” cause idk if everyone would like that- and I didn’t want to model him off of the new Mr.Hidgens/ Jeff Blim cause I’m weird- and I didn’t want two characters visually based off of Jeff Blim on the same “stage”. Does that even make sense logically or emotionally? No. But whatever)

Mini comic based on how short Emma apron is in the actual musical and thinking it would be funny if Paul Perkins also had a short ass apron for no reason, and ranting about it. (Cause be so fr- in a actual barista setting that apron isn’t gonna protect shit)

there are no creeps, there are no heroes, there are only people who are alive and people who are FUCKING dead!

i love this reaction emma has to the stuff paul says several times throughout tgwdlm when they’re still getting to know each other. paul will say something unexpectedly nice/complimentary towards emma (in his trademark awkward way) and each time emma’s reaction is the same awkward laugh and smile, which looks like the result of her being surprised this man would suddenly say something just to be nice to her. each time she seems taken aback by his random kindness and her instinct is to laugh in surprise but also smile. and each time you can see in her eyes that she’s also trying to figure him out.

Do you guys wanna hear something else ive been thinking too much about?

How did paul exist after he blew himself up? Did pokey somehow put him back together? Did he manage to only sustain damage to his torso and therefore hidden by his suit jacket? Did he purposely remain silent once he was rescued and no one questioned it? Were they all already in on it, and just pretended not to be just to fuck with emma because pokeys a dramatic bitch?

Personally i headcanon that pokey saw paul going for the grenade and purposely placed all his little zombie people to surround him in order to protect him from the blast, just so paul would have to live with his voice in his head and controlling him. And knowing that emma is important to him, because we know he can read minds to a degree thanks to alices song, fucked with him even more by torturing her- giving her hope and then taking it away. The ol’ two for one.

[tiredandoptimistic]

"He pines after a cute little barista, isn't that worth a show stopping fiesta?" So we all know that Emma is worth the world, but the important thing here is that she is not worth singing about yet! Paul has a crush on her, yeah, but it's not enough for an "I want" song or a romantic ballad.

It's like the Hive is scrambling for anything about Paul that's significant enough for a musical number and Emma is the closest they could get, but she's just not that important to him. Paul is too real for musicals, to him a crush is just a crush.

It's not until they actually spend time getting to know each other that he admits he "wants there to be" "something more," which leads into their twisted love song "Inevitable"

[lilacthebooklover]

thinking about the line "i've been thrown to the wolves of the community" in 'high school is killing me'. for one, it acts as a preceeding metaphor to 'literal monster'; the idea of max being a predator is carried throughout the whole musical, and introduced from the very first number. secondly, it reminded me of the sycamore timberwolves in tgwdlm. y'know, the "we hated you guys!"/"we hated ourselves" school paul went to? probably over-analysing again but this could potentially tie into the fact that literally no-one at hatchetfield high is happy, not even max- everyone hates themselves there too, and hates max. they want to have a nice, bullying-free environment like the one there after max dies, they don't want him there. he's like a timberwolf himself

Emma: "they're the only family I have left.."

Paul, trying to be sympathetic, while having forgotten to tell Emma that he has accidentally became a father figure to half the teens and tweens in Hatchetfield: "uuuhhh... mhm yeah no I get that. mhm yeah."

on a barista and a man that just wants his black coffee. alternatively: on a love that transcends timelines

[cyanide-sippy-cup]

Just now realizing that 'Inevitable' is the apotheosis straight up toying with Emma, bragging that it won. The chorus stating "it's inevitable" and the song literally starting with "Emma I'm sorry, you lost."
