Do the lords in black have to be summoned in order to appear in hatchetfield? Is that official canon?
I don’t think tinky technically showed up in time bastard? I don’t quite remember. Webby is inside hannahs mind or something, wiggly of course needed linda for some reason, nibbly gets to stop by once a year to feed thanks to the church of the starry children (i think), and winky i just don’t remember well but i think alice just stabbed its eye?
Anyways, this is all to ask, who summoned pokey in TGWDLM?
The obvious answer would be professor Hidgens, because he “predicted that exact scenario” and maybe wished it into existence and thats also why its in the form of a meteor and not like fungus from the forest or something. But i think it’d be funny if it was paul the moment he told bill how much he despises musicals and Pokey took it personally (cause thats apparently his own voice) and was like you know what, fuck this guy! You don’t wanna see a musical well guess fucking what, now you’re in one! Have fun singing and dancing puppet man!

i have so many thoughts about paulkins kids. there are many options, and lucky for us, we know that paulkins exist in every universe.
in one, when paul and emma aren’t yet dating but are “intimate” emma misses her period. she goes to a doctor and gets confirmation. she panics because she and paul aren’t serious yet, but she realizes how happy the idea of having a family with him makes her. they have a daughter, addison jane perkins-matthews, that everyone calls a.j. she has emma’s hair and paul’s blue eyes, and she loves to swim.
in another universe, they don’t have a kid until they’ve been married for a few years. it took them a while to get there, with emma wanting to take things slowly and paul waiting for her no matter what, but he takes her name and they become the perkins’. when they have their son, they name him matthew after paul’s family. he’s got paul’s lighter brown hair and his blue eyes, but he still manages to look more like emma. he was made for the kitchen, and loves loves loves cooking and baking.
there’s another universe where emma and paul have twins girls, elizabeth and olivia. the two could not be more polar opposites, with lizzie being less feminine, loving soccer and sports, and livvy being so extremely femining, wanting to be a fashion designer, but they are always there for each other. the two love each other and always manage to support each other’s passions.
in another universe, they have a family of five, brianna, christopher, and freddie. bri is an artist, always painting and drawing. christopher loves to dance, and to paul’s horror joins theatre in high school. paul learns to love performances when it’s his son, seeing the joy and determination in his face. freddie loves to read, will devour a book so quickly it’s actually a little frightening. paul and emma watch their kids fight across the dining table and smile fondly.
sometimes, they don’t have kids at all. emma’s commitment issues making her hesitate, or her issues with her own parents (which i am headcannoning). maybe paul, who only ever says “kids, someday, maybe” decides he only ever felt pressured into wanting kids. sometimes only one doesn’t want kids, sometimes both, but either way they always respect it.
sometimes they take too long. paul pines for years, emma doesn’t want to label it, and by the time they’re ready, they’re told emma can’t have kids.
there’s a universe where they keep a foster home, their house a revolving door for kids who need a place to stay. they look out for each and every one of them, giving them a place to feel safe and good people to look up to.
there’s a universe where they adopt a pair of siblings who lost their parents too young, the older maddison always having to look out for her little brother michael. maddie never had time to have a hobby, or a passion, but in their safe space she can admit to herself that she wants to be a filmmaker. mike adores his older sister, and loves to play the guitar.
in one universe, they adopt a toddler who was mistreated by his guardians. harry took a while to warm up to them because of this, but they helped him adjust and recuperate and grow from it all. he grew up to be a botanist, loving learning about biology from his figurative grandpa hidgens.
basically, i just want and need happy ending paulkins who have a happy domestic little life and shit.

Npmd + Workin Boys spoilers
I just realized how tragic it is that Ruth dreams of being an actress but seems to die every time she makes it to the stage. Getting killed by Max right after she discovers the joy of letting herself shine on stage in the bbq monologues scene, and then getting killed by Hidgens in Workin Boys.
Doomed to never make it to the closing act.

A decent portion of my life currently consists of:
-Listening to NPMD and freaking out over Jeff Blim's songwriting
-Listening to Workin' Boys and freaking out over Jeff Blim's voice and songwriting (writing as Hidgens!)
-Watching Workin' Boys and freaking out over Jeff Blim's performance
-Listening to Ghosts of Antikythera and freaking out over Jeff Blim's voice and performance ('Damn The Torpedoes," dear God)
...guys, I think I might be in love with Jeff's talent
