my eyes were opened to the beauty of billpaul
really like how these turned out so they get their own post
I drew @fencecollapsed Bill and Paul from this post and also this post!!
I just super love this idea, and this version of them, so I hope you like the art 💙 (and its so goddamn cool that this Paul and Bill affect themselves in other timelines💥)
do you ship it?
billpaul/caramel coffee (bill woodward/paul matthews) from the hatchetfield universe
i ship it!
i feel neutral about it
i don't ship it
i don't know the characters
Paul Emma and Bill excluding Ted from their polycule huddle
Paul being emotionally withdrawn and getting uncomfortable and standoffish when Bill tried to be vulnerable with him. he couldn't engage meaningfully with Bill's emotions, his pitiful attempts at comfort were hollow and lacking warmth. Bill didn't feel cared for. and he didn't feel trusted either, because Paul dismissed all of Bill's attempts to check in and connect emotionally, he always closed up.
and on the other side, Bill failing to understand Paul as a person, projecting interests onto him he's said he doesn't share. insisting on certain activities he likes and being upset when Paul didn't have fun. talking down Paul's actual interests - trying to be funny but it didn't land. neither ever able to find a compromise because they're both too stubborn.
they agreed they were better as friends but they never talked about those things. neither of them knew how to articulate it. but it's all still there, even if they pretend it's not.
Bill watching Paul with Emma and feeling a quiet sting of bitterness. why can he be vulnerable and comforting with her? why does he go to musicals with her? what's different, what was Bill doing wrong? why wasn't he enough?
why is he never enough?
the caramel frappe thing is genuinely really cute to me, I like to think Bill said there's nothing better than a caramel frappe One Time and it stuck in Paul's brain forever. Paul only likes black coffee but he assumes everyone else likes caramel frappes because they're Bill's favorite and Paul likes Bill
