I know I've been joking a lot about them lately, but there is something so captivating to me in the relationship between Paul Matthews and Pokotho. A man who doesn't like musicals and a musical Eldricht Deity.
A relation between a Godly patron and their unwilling prophet that should, by all accounts, not work.
Opposites attract but it's one-sided.
A challenge that bleeds into an obsession.
An apocalypse that's he's own personal Hell.
Being expected to toss it all away and lead the Hive.
It's both really complex and really simple. They are both extremes that have to deal with each other.
No doubt Paul must come across as some child throwing a tantrum to a literal God, with him trying and failing to stop the infection by blowing the meteor up.
In the same way there is something very childish in Pokotho refusing any form of derailment to his script. Refusing other's individuality and wanting everything to go his way.
Paul hate musicals, swears he'll never go see one, let alone being in one. Yet, becomes the the protagonist, the leading man, the star of the show.
Pokotho is both a very controlling and doting patron. He'll force his stars to go his way abandon who they were, but will promise them happiness, bring them back to life anew. Give them apotheosis.
They both are two extremes that shouldn't but works so well with each other.
A heavenly good match made in Hell.
This is why they are my favorite relationship in the Hatchefield Universe. He is my favorite Lord in Black.
They have a synergy, a chemistry that works so well when you consider the implications. It's a toxic one, but also a really interesting one to analyze.
Because I love those imbalanced relationships in fiction that works so well thematically and narratively.
TL;DR :Paul and Pokotho are two extremes of the same spectrum, two extremes that shouldn't work together, and I love them for it. That was my TedTalks !

If you’d told me a few years ago that I’d devote a great amount of my time shipping this THING and a regular businessman, I’d call you insane and politely make an excuse to leave the conversation:
Like, look at him, he’s wearing a beret and he’s not even French. He snarls like an animal. He’s barely even man-shaped, he’s FILLED WITH GOO. Unbelievable, just unbelievable.

Pokey: Welcome to the first meeting of the "Fuck Paul Matthews" club! Members, please introduce yourselves. 😊
Emma, Mr. Davison, Greenpeace Girl, Melissa, Bill, and Ted, sweating: Um, I think we misunderstood what this club was about.
Pokey: No…. you were right. 😔

Okay, so imagine Pokey learn that Richie is Paul's nephew. He would so use that to his advantage now that his soul is in the Black and White.
Pokotho : Now, brat. Do you have any information that would be useful to seduc- infect! infect Paul Matthews?
Richie : Holy shit my uncle's scored a God !
Pokotho : Shut up and just answer my questions...
