In a video ranking how scared Paul was dung each song, someone in the comments pointed out that when he's with his friends and particularly with Emma, he gets really protective. That comment made me fall for him so hard!

[@swirlingsun]

@@abidivino I like to think that jon got to show how much fun he'd been having throughout the show in that song lol

[@e.r.8383]

Jon’s acting especially through his voice is absolutely amazing. He’s completely convincing as a normal guy in TGWDLM while he’s this amazingly talented and attractive guy. He has a similar quality of acting to Jeff Blim, but we’ve barely seen Jeff pretend to be sane, let alone normal, so that’s why Jon’s acting is so shockingly great. His scene with Emma where he says “now, are you frightened?” actually makes me die every time I hear it because of what he does to his voice. It’s the same with some of Jeff’s stuff, ahem, “with wheels that are cIRcLeS”

[@CantDraw-bq6pj]

You put it into words! It's like if Jeff Blim played only a conventionally sane person for 7/8s of a show before going full Jeff Blim

[@sarahkinsey5434]

I love his his scream when Emma came out singing!

[@thatsnailboi1598]

I think that Jon has the best acting in his facial expressions, think "please god I just want a black coffee", "have I finally come around to rhymin' scheme", or "OOOH right in the SUBPOENA" at your convenience, his voice is a huge part of this but being able to give an expression to the scream is another talent that he shares with Jeff Blim, think "oughwh!! What are youww", "Give Gotham Somethin' Sweet to Suck on Baby!" or "Give me that doll, I'm in a fuckin' hurry".
