there’s something terribly wrong with the world today…
Just a lot of fun doodles. I need to draw more hatchetfield characters because I love them so but Paul has a chokehold on me…
Pokey and his favorite little plaything
I saw someone talk about Pokey wanting Paul in the hive like a trophy. Like “look, I got the guy who doesn’t like musicals in the musical zombie hivemind” then it turnt into trophy wife
I have a brain worm and his name is Paul Matthews…
Love how in the beginning of TGWDLM the infected are hyping up Paul to be some grumpy Scrooge-like grinch who hates all musicals and fun while in reality he’s just… a guy lmao.
back on my infected!paul/wilbur cross nonsense. an interaction between these three would be very amusing I think
The Leading Man
I love how after watching Nightmare Time, TGWDLM implies that all the powerhouses of Hatchetfield were infected before the CCRP crew (also that Pokey plays favorites)
Me and the clone !!
( I don’t know why I draw Paul 23 like this… he’s spooky but also he’s just as lame as the og Paul)
Man
Guys I'm literally T'noy Karaxis
Idk what happened to my art, gang I think I've been playing too much Pressure, this isn't my usual art style
Anyway, personally I think it would be cool if some necromancy in some degree/form was used :3
So uh, Ruth is next <3
Also this is like the 4th time I've drawn Richie ":]
Originally I was gonna explain why I thought what I brain but I forgot, The Summoning took my thoughts
Here's your daily picture of Jon Matteson
I know there's like no quality in this picture but he looks like such an NPC here and it's waaaayy too fucking funny to me

I did this edit last month but I really liked it so I post it here too why not
I’m thinking about all the reasons that led to Paul 23 killing the real Emma, and how he varies from the original Paul.
Paul 23 did it because he had more in common with the android than he ever could with the real Emma. Because that’s the one he married, the one that loves him. But… It’s no coincidence that right before he made his choice, real Emma told him she abandoned her boyfriend in Guatemala. She left him because he wanted to get married. Paul will never be able to trust that she’ll love him, that she’ll want the same things as him. He’d never have a sure future with her. He was willing to kill her and take the life he’s guaranteed to have with a murderous android over the hypothetical life with the Emma that had a right to live.
Paul needs certainty and predictability, he just needs the life he planned for. No matter what it takes.
I agree that Paul 23 is more inclined to murder than the original Paul, but his motives are the same. All the reasoning behind his choices make perfect sense within the context of the Paul we know, even if his actions are much more extreme.
Paul is selfish, this is established very quickly in TGWDLM. He chooses things that benefit him over helping other people, that’s the point of his arc. When he chose to go with Bill to help Alice, it’s surprising, because he wasn’t even willing to go see Mamma Mia with Bill to help build his relationship with his daughter. He wasn’t willing to give to the homeless, or join company softball, or go back to get his best friend, who’s having a shitty day, some coffee. He doesn’t go out of his way to help people just because it’s the right thing. Yes, he’s also kind, he’s a good person, he cares about people, but he does also prioritize himself for most of the story. That’s why it’s so huge that he sacrifices his life to destroy the meteor. He grew as a character.
Paul 23 didn’t go through that arc. He didn’t need to save the world. He started his story by killing someone who had a right to live, just so he could have the life he wants. He’s forever going to be the selfish, self-serving office worker from the start of TGWDLM, just… More willing to kill to get what he wants.
The point I’m trying to make is that TGWDLM Paul would have chosen the droid too, I don’t think it’s just because he’s a clone and he saw himself in her. Canonically, all he’s ever really wanted was Emma. He would not give that up in favour of making the ethical choice.

Hive King and Queen Paul and Emma are the only things that give me happiness at this point.
Also I like to think that when Paul infected Emma he ripped out her heart
