Sure, Paul Might Be Pokey's Trophy, As He's The Titular Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals, But Emma Is The

My desire to see the foster girls happy + my soul-deep need to put paul matthews in situations have collided in a cataclysmic and frankly irreversible way and i've decided i'm going to make it everyone's problem. what you're telling me this man doesn't deserve a "world's okayest dad" mug ???

i've fine-tuned the lore to this incredibly silly au yapping abound under the cut

the gist is pam is both lex and han's mom but only paul is hannah's father. it was a one night stand which didn't go well (that's the last time paul ever gives in to ted's goading to "loosen up" and "do something crazy"). paul eventually takes lex in and adopts her because of the few times he's seen the way pam treat her + he wants the sisters to be able to grow up together. Normal Man went from a recent college graduate in a brand new job with no immediate plan or intention to have kids to a seasoned father of two in the span of like a year. idk but if u ask ME this is the universe's way of saying paul matthews was meant to be a girldad he's just unlocking his full potential

the beginning of the gang misses the boat is one of my favourites: mac is vibing to hollaback girl, frank and charlie are eating worms, dee has a fake mustache and pretends to be a captain and dennis is applying mascara and then he rides into the river

this isn't so much fanart as it is an infographic using the hanky code to explain my personal headcanons about macden's sex life

tl;dr, while they totally switch, generally dennis is the top/boss and mac is the power bottom who rides den's dick ALL THE TIME and sometimes spanks him

Gray (worn on the left) = Likes to Bind (Dennis)

Gray (worn on the right) Likes to Be Bound (Dennis)

Light Blue = Likes oral (giving/receiving) (Both)

Navy Blue (worn on the left) = Fucker (Dennis)

Navy Blue (worn on the right) = Fuckee (Mac)

Fuchsia (worn on the left) = Spanker (Mac)

Fuchsia (worn on the right) = Spankee (Dennis)

Rust (worn on the left) = Cowboy (Mac)

Rust (worn on the right) = Cowboy's horse (Dennis)

Lavender (worn on the right) = Drag queen (Dennis)

Yellow (worn on the right) = Piss freak (Mac)

after mac comes out he starts watching rupaul's drag race cause he's a gay man and gay men like drag but very quickly he realizes he's not interested (he was into the pit crew tho) so he stops but dennis who had been lowkey watching whenever it was on screen WAS into it so he starts watching it by himself and that's how you get dennis yelling at the screen during the lip synchs for your life cause the queen he's supporting isn't serving enough cunt

TGWDLM IS COMING BACK HOLY SHITTTTT!!!

TGWDLM was the first Starkid show I ever watched, I've been a fan ever since asfghfeubjdk the show still has a very special place in my heart because of this <33 AND NOW THEY'RE COMING BACK TO ME AAAA ALL MY FAVOURITES TED, PAUL, BILL THEY'RE ALL COMING BACK ASFDGHJFGHHJF

The timing is so perfect I'm literally in the middle of a Hatchetfield hyperfixation rn holy molyyyy never off yourselves kids!! Supes excited

I think it would be very easy to mess up the pacing of a TGWDLM revival by adding too much of the new Hatchetfield lore, but I do hope they add at least like a hint or two towards who/what the hive’s creator really is. And I think it would be interesting if they changed some of Ted’s dialogue so it’s clear he’s upset about Pete’s death or whatever

I’m so excited to see if the announcement is actually gonna be TGWDLM or not aaaaaaa

charlie kelly one of those characters of all time where he's so complex but also deceptively simple so everyone can relate to him if they want to. you think he's asexual? he is!! you think he loves to fuck? he does!! or maybe his relationship to sex is too complex to put in a simple sentence? absolutely! you believe he's a trans man? of course! you think she's transfemme? just look at "the gang solves the bathroom problem"! you think they "dont do gender" or "doesn't identify"? that's quite literally canon!! boyfriend to some, girlfriend to others, they have the range!! you think of him as a sweet, silly little guy? he's in fact a lovable rascal. you prefer to think of him as an amoral disgusting violent man? he's in fact also that. whatever you think of charlie kelly, you're probably right and that's delightful to me

Wait wait wait remember that post about how Team Starkid/the Lang brothers are going to be comparable to Shakespeare 500 years from now and it was mostly played for laughs like yeah lol you’ll need a paragraph of footnotes to explain the zefron poster but like

I don’t think that’s actually far off from how Starkid’s place in theatre history might play out and here’s why. Just hear me out

Why is Shakespeare so popular today when he definitely wasn’t the only playwright from that era? When he’s not even the only playwright from that era from England that we have surviving works from?

Two main reasons:

1) Shakespeare’s work is (relatively) universally relatable. The characters do things that are so fundamentally human. They make jokes at their friends’ expense. They complain about being awkward in front of their crush. They have daddy issues. The plot lines of the plays aren’t too complicated. The dick jokes land whether you’re watching in 1611 or 2024, and they probably still will in 2637. Shakespeare’s works are timeless because he didn’t try to outsmart his audience. He wrote about things everyone could relate to rather than trying too hard to peacock his intellect in front of the nobility. This is not true of every playwright.

2) Shakespeare was really popular right around the time England started colonizing everything in sight. Copies of his work got shipped all around the world, translated into dozens of languages, performed probably thousands of times. Setting aside the moral implications of this, the important thing to note is that Shakespeare was about the most easily accessible English playwright during a time of rapid, intense globalization.

Meanwhile, Starkid:

1) Invests hard in meaningful, relatable character arcs instead of spectacle and expensive sets or costumes. Also, lowbrow, immature humor and dick jokes that make A Very Potter Sequel funny and enjoyable regardless of if you’ve ever seen any other Harry Potter media in your life.

2) Posts professional recordings of their musicals to YouTube FOR FREE, making their shows about the easiest, best quality musical theatre you can get pretty much anywhere in the world, regardless of if your area has an active theatre scene. Proshots from other companies are rare and usually not free. Bootlegs are all well and good, but even if the video quality is alright (and that’s a big if) the audio is usually garbage. Starkid has been posting the best quality free recordings they can afford since 2009, shortly after the birth of social media, another time of rapid, intense globalization.

In short, I’m not saying that theatre historians in 500 years won’t remember any our current Broadway faves, but I am saying that in my opinion, Team Starkid is probably going to be more accessible for the general public. If you’re a 26th century English teacher trying to teach your class about narrative structure in 21st century theatre, what are you going to show your students? A bootleg of Hadestown with blurry video and garbage audio? Or the professional recording of Twisted, parts of which they will probably even enjoy, because even long after no one remembers Disney’s Aladdin anymore, your class of 26th century 16-year-olds are still going to laugh at “No One Remembers Achmed.”

All my shit’s getting disqualified from monetisation on TikTok because the Brad’s of their universe hate me.

Have this🫡
