Here's the thing though. Ted says he considers Paul to be his best friend but that's not mutual. Earlier on, Paul says that Bill is his best friend. He doesn't invite Ted to Beanie's and is clearly uncomfortable when he shows up, you can tell from how he freezes and stares nervously then just runs off that he probably didn't even want Ted to know he was going to Beanies because he didn't want to invite him. You know who he did invite? Bill. He asks him directly if he wants to go to Beanies and offers to get him something. He does end up forgetting and not going back for it but he does go "oh shoot, I forgot Bill's caramel frappe" and doesn't say a word about Ted asking him to get a chai ice tea but he defindtly heard Ted's request, he just ignored it. Later on he takes Bill's side when Ted is making fun of him and when Bill wants to go after Alice and Ted insists that it's just going to get him killed, Paul probably also knows that Alice is doomed but he still goes with Bill. In nightmare time even the clone of Paul feels the exact same way, he invites Bill to his wedding but Ted just shows up uninvited and he ends up asking him to leave because he's making people uncomfortable. This ended up being a ramble fest but my point is that Paul sees Bill as his best friend and I don't think he even likes Ted.

Shakes the Starkid Fandom by the sholders. BILL is Paul's best friend. Not Ted. Paul babysat ALICE for BILL. He offers to get BILL a caramel frappe from Beanies. He's comfortable with BILL. BILL is his friend. BILL. BILL WOODWARD. WILLIAM WOODWARD WHO IS PLAYED BY ACTOR COREY DORRIS. HE IS PAUL'S BFF.

Sure, Paul might be Pokey's trophy, as he's the titular guy who didn't like musicals, but Emma is the one Pokey hates the most.

The opening number (and Emma's presence in it) points to the entirety of TGWDLM being an in-universe musical to lure new members to the hive (in the form of us, the audience). So Emma and Paul are only being puppeted to echo their resistances, over and over and over.

Paul is distressed the whole time, but he's also a hero, he tries to save everyone (and fails, of course), while Emma is left to bleed and limp and scream. She's puppeted in a mockery of her fear and agony. Other deaths are bloodier, but hers is drawn out.

And this makes perfect sense for Pokey. What's the main thing we know about him?

He hates any voice that isn't his own.

Paul is outspoken about disliking musicals, but otherwise is a pretty passive guy. He doesn't make waves or stand out, he's too shy to even ask Emma out until the end of the world.

Emma is loud, opinionated, defiant. She has a very distinct voice.

Paul escapes Pokey for so long because he just doesn't like musicals, helping him avoid the traps that probably caught most of the townsfolk early on. If he liked musicals, or even tolerated them, he'd probably have been consumed by the goo pretty quickly.

Emma actively defies the hive. She starts the story in a job where she is literally required to sing and dance, and instead of just going with it she says fuck you and quits. She even clarifies that she could do it if she wanted, but she just doesn't want to.

Pokey has constructed the entire show to lure in new victims and also torture Emma specifically. In this essay I will

older memma concept,,, I think she would

[chimeramirror]

Thinking about how Bill tried to save Alice and Charlotte tried to save Sam. Thinking about how Hidgens didn't have anyone to save. Thinking about how Ted did, but chose not to. Thinking about how Emma tried to save Paul who she barely knows. Thinking about how Paul tried to save everyone.

I hate the Jon Matteson family tree. I’m fine with Paul being Richie’s uncle but when people add all but when people add in all the other Jon characters I just tap out
