Bad writing means you took the time to write something, you, a real human being. It means you created something! And you have the awareness to see that there's room for improvement, too!!!

Bad writing is wonderful!!! Bad writing is a platform from which you can build your masterpiece! Bad writing is the backbone of good writing!

Give yourself permission to write badly. No, actually- give yourself permission to write something TERRIBLE. Give yourself permission to write such drivel that you can barely read it.

Nothing comes out a masterpiece the first time!! You think Isaac Asimov never wrote a total stinker he had to rebuild from the ground up? You think Jules Verne never wrote utter slop for a first draft?

•When he goes to Beanies for the first time in the show, he would check his breath and fiddle with his cuffs while Emma argued with Nora

•After the Godspell jokes both he and Emma would realise how close they had gotten to one another and turn quickly away

•Mouthing Emma's name to himself in the mirror while he gets ready before Lah Dee Dah Dah Day

•Scrabbling for the phone during What Do You Want, Paul? when Mr Davidson wheels him around the desk (at one show he accidentally threw it half off the desk instead)

•Arguing with Pete and Eugene during Cup of Roasted Coffee while he tries to get Emma's attention. (Especially enjoyed him mouthing "It's me, Paul" as if she'd forgotten in the thirty whole seconds since they spoke last)

•Dyslexic Paul Matthews!!! Their whole back and forth of when they're going through the alleyways after escaping from Beanies. Shout out to the one show where Emma also said she wouldn't take advice from a man in a suit

•Shielding Emma and Bill with his arms outstretched during Show Me Your Hands

•When Emma grabs his knee during their heart-to-heart at Hidgens's house, he would unconsciously run his hand over the same spot afterwards

•Paul squaring up to Sam during Join Us And Die and immediately getting punched in the face

•The very whiny and pathetic 'what the fuck' he lets out while lying on the floor after Not Your Seed. (In the proshot you can see him mouthing the words but it's muted and I'm upset about it)

•Tilting Emma's face towards him when they're being circled by the military in America is Great Again
