what if we were doomed by the narrative together, to find each other and be tragically separated in every universe, but to find each other nonetheless

If I had the digital ticket I'd maybe make a gifset but I feel like there's something to the near-parallels between:

Hey, we're the same age, how come I never knew you in high school? / You probably went to Hatchetfield High, I went to Sycamore.

But I remember something someone asked me back in school. Tom, if you asked me, I'd still go to prom with you.

Steph, if things were different...would you wanna go to Homecoming with me? / ...I'd like that.

Forcing my friend (@stupid-mgay) to watch The Hatchetfield Trilogy.

Okay yeah but the finale of The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals Is Heartbreaking. Like yeah? Idc if your mum grandma dad died in a fire did you even hear the line "A show stopping number with emma front and centre" now that is real pain, real turmoil.

You thought I’d watch three Starkid musicals and stop, well you clearly were wrong: I’ve watched “The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals” and the first thing I thought was: that’s basically my father. He doesn’t even like musical movies with some rare exceptions (mostly Soviet). So, yes – I’m very familiar with such character. By the way, unlike the “Harry Potter” series it’s finally a good musical experience – I unironically enjoyed the songs and dance numbers. Oh my god, “Show Stopping Number” was so good! The plot was also very interesting and pretty original (I mean, it's not based on anything, but some horror clichés – but it’s a comedy, after all). (That can be a Spoiler!) The idea of musical theatre Borg is so funny – a collective mind communicating through music and which still sometimes fails to perform in harmony… I’m very sure I failed to recognize all the theatre references: I have watched neither “Godspell”, nor “Brigadoon” (I heard about both of them though), fortunately, I have watched “Moana” and enjoyed it (and yes, it’s funny that Paul knows the lyrics by heart). I’m not sure if it was intended, but I received strong as hell “Jekyll and Hyde” vibes during “Let It Out” – when he was singing and dancing against his will, he was afraid of it and fought it as much as he could, he even fell struggling. (Definitely Spoilers!) The ending was also very funny and unexpected, I thought that they might end it unhappily, but that they’ll make us believe that the ending is as happy as it can be and then throw the horror in our faces… I didn’t think you’re capable of it, “Team Starkid Production”. P.S. Going to finally get a watch (I have some, I even have pocket-watch, but none of them work), because: “Time is a precious thread in the fabric of the universe; it deserves its own tool of measurement!”

If you guys liked the whole "Stephs flannel matches Peter's suspenders and bow tie" thing then this costuming detail is in tgwdlm gonna fuck you up.

When we get our first scene with Paul and Emma, the two are dressed in their respective main outfits. These are the ones people tend to associate with them.

But throughout the show, as they get closer and bond, their outfits become more and more similar. Pretty soon Emma's lost the apron

Then at the professor's house, Paul loses the jacket

and by the time McNamara is infected, Paul has his sleeves rolled up and Emma's bow tie has come undone.

At this point, the two are at their most aesthetically similar, and also the closest they've been the entire show. This is moments before the helicopter crash and their failed kiss. They remain this way for a good chunk of time...until Paul comes back

It's like some fast-paced foreshadowing. Emma remains in her changed state, the same as her character, but Paul is back to square one. He's wearing the same outfit he was when they met, and they no longer align. She doesn't know who he is anymore.

I don't know if this was intentional (and if it was, no one explained it to Jon) but it plays out so damn well.

I love the fact that Show Stopping Number is included in Inevitable. Because when Hidgens first sang it, he was still totally human, which means that Pokey liked the song so much he was like "Yeah you know what I'm gonna get this in there, it was a banger and it will definitely make Emma lose her mind!" and I love him for that.

Paul Matthews and Emma Perkins are everything to me. They are soulmates and find each other in every universe but they almost never get past the awkwardly flirting stage before the world ends. They are both losers. They find each other every time an apocalypse commences. They are the only normal people in the whole universe. They are doomed by the narrative. They hate musicals. He tips her 5 dollars and she spits on everyones coffee. They are Orpheus and Eurydice coded. They are a spark that never turns into fire. They are intimate but don't like labels. They are the only constant thing in every timeline. They are what it could have been but never meant to be. They meet in that coffee shop again and again forever. He'll order a black coffee and she'll ask him for his name. And the loop will start all over again.
