I truly believe Will Wood is an incredible musician and songwriter and is one of the top lyricists in the last decade both in and outside of the genres that he chooses to play in with absolutely zero irony. I also believe that you can only fully understand that if you’ve either had a pet die before listening to his music or you have a history of drug abuse and mental health crises. Or you’re trans.

"Emma, I'm sorry, you lost... Emma, I'm sorry you lost your way" are still the rawest opening lines to a finale in all of musical theatre, change my mind.
The gut punch of Paul singing right after the fake-out that he survived. The realization that it was all for nothing and the entire world, including Emma, is doomed at his hands. THE WAY THE MEANING OF WHAT HE'S SAYING COMPLETELY CHANGES WHEN HE FINISHES THE THOUGHT.
I know Paul's been Apotheosised for quite a while by that time, but it almost feels like the first few words are what remains of the actual Paul communicating his final thoughts to Emma, his sorrow that he failed her. And then he's gone for as good Apotheosis Paul takes the reigns and sets out, ever so inevitably, to get what he wants and save Emma Perkins.

i would give anything to watch the last scene of mizumono for the first time again.
the visceral emotional response i had was like a punch in the gut but SO GOOD OMG.
the SHOCK. the HEARTBREAK. the YEARNING.
truly nothing will ever compare to that experience.

Sorry but confessing to the girl you like by saying
"And I have feelings for you. I have every feeling for you. And my... my biggest fear is that if we tried this, if we actually went for it, that... I might lose the most incredible friendship I have."
And
"I feel like... I feel like I don't deserve to be as happy as you make me. You are the scariest, most beautiful person I've ever met."
And then following it up with
"Should we just, like, I don't know, like, stay friends?"
is the most sapphic thing I've ever witnessed.

can we just talk about paul matthews for a moment
a man who thought he was so insignificant, a man who never wanted anything, just a regular guy with a regular life and a crush on the barista at his regular coffee place (the one he goes too even though there’s a starbucks right there because she’s there)
paul matthews, who’s asks how could he, a regular, average guy, could save the world single handedly. Because he knows he can’t, but when given the chance takes it anyways. The guy who didn’t like musicals, who braved a musical to try and save the world, and even though he failed, he never gave up on the people around him
paul matthews, who’s love story is the only constant ever, that no matter in what universe he’ll find emma every time
paul matthews, probably on of the worst protagonists ever, but arguably one of the best hatchedfield characters
