Please keep it appropriate, romance is fine but I kind of suck a writing it lol
im open to most ships and headcannos, if I don't like one then I won't write it.
These ideas can be anything! pre-cannon, post-cannon, or during the events of a show or NMT episode! I also like alt. universes, such as the Everyone Lives NPMD AU and Half-Infected Paul.
idk how many people will respond to this but im hoping lol
ok :) hope you like it (side note: I’ll get to the other reblogs and asks soon, but I’m a bit tired rn)
Paul stumbled backwards. The men and women in military gear stormed the choir room, shouting as the infected teenagers fled. Paul’s mind was a mess of fear, joy and sadness.
Bill. His best friend. His only friend. He had just wanted to save his daughter. Was that so much to ask? Why did he have to die? Why did he have to…
Paul’s thoughts trailed off as two men approached him. The one with longer hair raised his weapon.
“Wait- wait! I’m not one of them! I’m human I swear-“
The handle of a gun smashed down on Paul’s head.
But rather than everything going dark, there were bright flashes of color beneath his eyelids. What was going o-
Paul saw everything.
He saw himself, infected. Struggling to fight it. He saw Emma, leaning up to kiss him. He saw himself again, spinning Emma in a dance as she screamed for help. He saw things that had happened, things that hadn’t. He saw things that couldn’t happen. He saw him and Emma, getting married, no music in sight. He saw them again, clutching each other as a plane whisked across the top of a shopping mall. As Paul was arrested. As he was being stabbed to death by himself. As he sat at the foot of someone’s bed, meowing like a cat.
But he didn’t only see himself.
As the future, past, and whatever else was there flooded into his brain, he saw Ted. Being stabbed. Nuked. Infected. Shot. Burned.
And then Ted saw him. They locked eyes for a moment, Ted old, grizzled, and homeless. He said something.
“Another bastard.”
Then it was dark.
But Paul wan’t unconscious. He was somewhere. It didn’t feel like anywhere, but he could hear things. Voices. Then one spoke up.
“Tinky, are you fucking kidding me?” A deep, theatrical voice boomed through the darkness. “You can mess with Spankoffski as much as you want, but now my whole plot is ruined!”
“I didn’t mean too, Pokey,” a high pitched, giggly voice said. There was a sigh, then a spotlight flicked on.
A man dressed in a sparkly jacket, a feather boa, and a strange mask stood in the center. Paul could swear he was… glowing. A strange, blue glow came from him and mingled with the yellow stage lights. And then Paul remembered.
Well, not remembered exactly. He just knew. He knew everything now. He understood. He could see his future, his past, in every timeline.
“Hello Paul,” the entity he knew as Pokotho said. “It appears my brother has made a mistake. I don’t know how, but with Tinky…” he scoffed. “That goat can manage to mess anything up.” The god approached Paul.
“You’re going to kill me.” Paul said. He already knew. He could see.
“I’m sorry. It wasn’t supposed to go like this. I hope for better luck in the next timeline.” Pokey placed his hand on Paul’s head.
And everything went away.

hey guys remember that scene where they all lived and went to homecoming together
That happened right right RIGHT-
SO SORRY IF THIS IS AWKWARD but i wanted to send in a writing thing 😭
prompt: what if Paul and Emma swapped places with Tom in Black Friday? Like Emma is part of the doll ‘feast or famine’ crowd for. Yk, the family reasons and Paul (unaffected) essentially is just running around/running into the foster sisters and whatever the hell was happening in the mall. Dude is having a terrible time as always
(If i phrased that weirdly can i just ask for paulkins interacting with the foster sisters in a casual setting please 🙏 ty!)
yeah!!!!! love this idea sm, hope you like it :)
“You want us to do what?” Emma slammed her coffee on the table.
“Pick up a Wiggly for Tim.” Emma scoffed at Tom. Paul stood awkwardly in the corner. He didn’t want to get involved, Emma was better at arguments.
“Why would we-”
“I want to spend the holidays with my son, not waiting in line.” Tom said. Emma rolled her eyes.
“I thought we were spending the holidays together, Tom. As a family.” Tom clenched his fists.
“My son lost his family when that car crashed. I’ve never asked anything of you ever before. Do this one thing for Me. For Tim. For Jane.” Emma looked away. After a few seconds, she walked over to Paul.
“Lets go get a fucking Wiggly, I guess.” They picked up their bags.
“Emma? Where are you going?” Tim asked, poking his head into the kitchen.
“We have to go to the hardware store to pick up a new bandsaw for your dad. Merry Christmas, Tim.” Emma slammed the door shut.
-
“There's nowhere to park…” Emma said, driving slowly.
“There?” Paul asked, pointing at a large spot.
“That's where the delivery trucks dump their stuff off.”
“It’s probably fine. Let's just hurry.” They parked the car and hopped out, and began walking into the mall.
“You can’t park there.” A voice said. It was a teenager, wearing the Toy Zone uniform and smoking a cigarette. She couldn’t have been older than 19. Paul blinked a few times.
“Lex? Lex Foster?” He asked. She nodded.
“I used to babysit her and her sister,” Paul said to a confused Emma.
“Have you babysitted everybody in this town?” she mumbled under her breath.
“Do you know how many Wiggly’s they have left?” Paul asked. Lex sighed.
“The store isn’t even open yet. Not that it matters. People have been waiting outside for days. You'll be lucky if you even get in the store by noon.” Paul groaned.
“C’mon, let's at least see if we can… buy our way into line? Or something? I don't know. Let's just hurry up.” Emma walked off, dragging Paul behind her. He waved awkwardly at Lex.
“You can’t park here!” Lex called after them. They didn’t hear her. “Oh well.”
-
“Hello? Sorry, can we cut in here for… uh… twenty bucks?” Emma said, pulling some cash from her pocket. The girl in line scowled at her. She was wearing a nursing uniform. Emma vaguely remembered her from highschool.
“Hey, some people have been waiting in line for a very long time, that’s not very fair,” a blonde lady shouted from further ahead. The nurse ignored the other customer.
“No, you can’t cut. That's bribery, and it... should be illegal.” Emma opened her mouth to retaliate, but Paul stopped her.
“Emma! Emma! Over here.” She turned. Paul was pointing to- Gary Goldstien? The attorney?
“This is Gary. He’s uh- my brother. Gary, this is Emma. My…” He shrugged. Emma glared at the nurse one last time and walked to where Paul was standing.
“Hi Gary, nice to meet you. Can we cut you for twenty bucks?”
“Sure. I’ll do it for free. I’ve a lot of favors due to Paul here for taking care of my son when I'm away,” Gary said in his nasally voice. Emma smiled at him.
“Hopefully this will go by quick so we can all go home.” She muttered to Paul as they squeezed their way into line.
-
Emma tried to be quiet as the rabid customers ran by her hiding spot, the popcorn counter in the movie theater. She looked out and saw Paul skittering towards her.
“What the fuck was that?” He whispered, crouching down into the shadows with her. His face was ridden with sweat and panic.
“I-I don’t know. Everyone’s going crazy. Is Gary- where’s Gary?”
“He… I think… I think he killed a guy. I don’t know what’s happening to him- what's happening to anybody. We know these people. They’re not murderers.” Emma nodded.
“We just need too-”
Something clattered to the floor. Emma shrieked, and Paul jumped up, looking around their area. He locked eyes with a young girl, who had knocked a can off of the counter on accident.
“Hannah?” He asked her. She backed up against the wall.
“Bad blood… bad blood…” she repeated it over and over again. Paul looked at Emma, who had calmed down.
“It’s Lex’s sister.” He turned back to the frightened girl.
“Hannah? It’s me, Paul. I used to babysit you. Do you remember?” He walked a little closer to her, and she whimpered, clutching her backpack.
“Hannah… what’s in the backpack?”
“Bad. Bad. Webby says it’s bad. He’s bad. He’ll trick you! He- he…” She started crying. Emma came up to the girl and sat down next to her.
“It’s ok. It’s ok.” She let Hannah lean on her. Emma looked in the backpack quickly.
“Oh. It’s a Wiggly.” A look came over Emma’s face. A look Paul had never seen before. A look Paul didn’t like.
“Emma?” She didn’t look at him. She slowly took the bag from Hannah. The girl looked up at her with a distressed expression.
“No! No! Bad!” Emma stood up.
“Lets go Paul.”
“No! He’s bad! Black and White! Bad blood! NO!” She grabbed at the bag, and Emma kicked her legs.
“Emma!” Paul rushed to stand in front of Hannah. “Emma, this isn’t you.” Her eyes darted around.
“Tim wants this doll. He needs it. He needs it.” Paul shook his head.
“Leave the doll! We need to get out of here, get safe.” She locked eyes with him, and her gaze softened. She dropped the bag. Paul took Hannah’s hand.
“We need to find somewhere safe. Let’s go.”
-
“Emma?” Tom jumped out of the car and rushed to her. Emma ran to embrace him, and Paul shook his hand awkwardly afterwards.
“Tom, god, I'm so glad you’re here.” The mall was aflame behind them, and the few stragglers that made it out were charred and distressed. Hannah and Lex had found each other in the mall, and Paul could only hope they got out.
“I’m so sorry, Emma. I- I don’t know why I sent you to get that doll. Tim doesn’t even want it. I’m gonna get him a Nintendo or something.” They all laughed, but soon a silence followed.
“I almost lost Paul in there."
"And my... my brother..." Paul looked back at the mall. He still hadn't fully processed what had happened to Gary. Maybe he got out? Paul doubted it. He'd never see his brother again. He'd have to tell Richie. He'd have to tell his friends and family that Gary had burned in the mall after beating a teenage boy to death. He looked away from the people, and squeezed Emma's hand tighter. She continued talking to Tom.
"All this stuff, people dying... friends, family... it made me start to think…Tom, it’s time we sit down, as a family, and talk about Jane.” He looked reluctant, but nodded.
“I’m just glad you’re ok. Both of you. And I'm sure Tim will love spending the rest of Christmas with his Aunt. And Paul.” Paul gave him a thumbs up, wiping his eyes. If he could make it through today... he could make it to tomorrow. that is, if tomorrow even came.
A plane whooshed overhead.
Fuck ‘em, fuck ‘em all to hell
FUCK CLIVESDALE!!
reblog if you agree
hatchet verse theory: the senses
spoilers for nightmare time and the mainline plays
Okay, let’s fucking go, I think that the lords in black correlate to the 5 main human senses
disclaimer: I have no idea if someone has made this theory before and it still needs some work
Nibbly: Nibbly is very obvious, Nibbly is taste. Being the LiB’s glutton he eats people alive and has a giant lollipop in NPMD.
Blinky: Blinky is also obvious, Blinky is sight. Blinky’s entire thing is watching. His shit in Watcherworld is all about getting an entertaining show. Also in NPMD he has a phone likely referencing the all seeing nature of social media as referenced in Watcherworld
Pokey: Pokey is just a little harder to place, however Pokey is hearing, he started the musical apocalypse.
Wiggly: this one is a fucking stretch but I think Wiggly is touch because of the constant references of his squishy belly and soft fur
Tinky: the problem child, I have no clue how Tinky could connect to the last remaining sense of smell
if you have any additional things to mention please say them, this theory is hardly on its legs here and I need to either build it up or knock it the hell over.
saying something about every hatchetfield production
spoilers, some nonsense, zero consistency with what I talk about, hurriedly written text, and back Cinderella’s Castle, QUICKLY, the kickstarter ends on May 4th. Also I mostly won’t be talking about the message to take away from all of them because I plan to make that another post.
TGWDLM: the catalyst of it all, it set up many fan favorite characters. Also my personal interpretation is that the musical we watch is actually happening in canon and is being put on by Pokky/Paul. Also how much of someone’s personality remain after infection?
Black Friday: it does pretty good as our first (true) intro to the LiBs it works very well. We get more General Macnmara who quickly becomes one of my favs. It also adds a lot of my other favs to the Hatchetverse, Hanna, Lex, Ethan, and Tom
NPMD: probably my favorite of the mainline musicals. I really hate Dirty Girl tho. The musical version of Hatchet Town is better than the OST version. The characters all have really good chemistry. I love Grace as a warning about the consequences of using religion as a fear tactic, when she sinned and wasn’t instantly punished for it she decided to take matters into her own hands and became a bloodthirsty maniac. The fact we got so close to a good ending if Max hadn’t fallen is darkly funny.
Hatchetfield Apeman: I don’t know how to feel about this one, it’s an interesting story but I think shouldn’t have been the first nightmare time story as it set a bad precedent for a lot of people.
Watcher World: I FUCKING LOVE WATCHER WORLD. The horror buildup of “what the fuck is happening here?” was genuinely amazing. The idea of a paranormal amusement part made for the amusement of an elder god id so cool. I feel uncomfortable saying the work “Sniglet”
Forever and always: one of my favs, the mystery of the two Emma’s is amazing, and the twist of which Emma Paul chose is amazing. It does make me wonder tho, is Emma a robot in every timeline? Also im just gonna assume that Tinky is connected to this one.
Time Bastered: another of my favs, the way it connects with FaA and the very clever time travel writing were highlights. The Ted is The Homeless Guy twist is really clever, and the ending is tragic
Jane’s a Car: holy shit my opinions on this one is so mixed. I love the bonding of Becky, Tom, and Tim is so wholesome. I REALLY hate that scene. Also is Jane turned into a car in every universe?
The Witch in the Web: our true into too Webby. Massive lore dumbs sort of weighted it down for me but it was still good.
Honey Queen: god I love this one. The fact that the LiBs aren’t mentioned until the very end was a really good choice. Both Zoey and Linda going to any length to win was some great tension.
Perky’s Buds: I went into this one expecting it to be kinda mid, and I was right but it was on the high end of mid. Ziggy being NB and played by a real NB actor is great! The bird hive mind is genuinely kinda unnerving despite how cute they are. I personally think they should have died, then content on the rooftop with the fire would have been such a good ending, but the police showing up to arrest them packs less of a punch.
Abstinence Camp: again, one of my favs, I fucking love this one and it also has the best Nightmare Timr song. It’s a fun way of exploring the “if you have sex in a horror movie you die” trope. Grace once again gets some sort of power and abuses it.
Daddy: I have mixed feelings, it’s a genuinely interesting plot but it get pretty uncomfortable. The song at the start made me think it would be a more empathetic take on Sherman Young but it definitely fucking wasn’t.
Killer Track: what is there to say? Killer track is actually so fucking amazing, if you will watch anything from this list watch this. I’m saying nothing else
Yellow Jacket: not at all what I was expecting, but it was great! From what I heard I was sort of expecting a high school drama with Pokky doing his bullshit in the background, but I loved this too. Also the ending hurt me.
Workin’ Boys: Pokky strikes again, but I’m not sure why TBH. Motherfucker just decided to fuck with his one most loyal subject and for what?
me: *vomits a lot of blue liquid* me: oh that’s from the 5 bottle of blue poweraid I drank
also me: ha ha, The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals reference
I thought this was some bizarre reference to the Portland Polycule before I read the tags I rewatched it yesterday, how did I not get this until I read the tags?
you're giggling,,, the gay polycule is getting struck by lightning and you're giggling,,,
cool, now you only have 2 musicals 12 nightmare time stories and 1 short film left before you’re done (you may finish the series but you will never be done, you are one of us now)
