Lucius lovingly hiding his face in Petes shoulder is something that can be so personal

To the Bridgerton s3 haters that say that Colin and Penelope feel "forced":

What about them feels forced? 'Forced' implies that they don't feel 'natural' or 'right' or that it shouldn't have happened the way it did(or wouldn't have happened realistically as some of you seem to think). What about them is forced?!

Does it feel "forced" for a person to realize how much someone in their life truly means to them and them falling in love with them in the process? Does it feel "forced" to watch 2 people with friendship and history grow towards each? Are you that rotted from emotionally stunted assholes being worshipped in media that it feels forced to watch a man be an open book of emotions?

OR

Does it feel forced because you are not used to (or comfortable) seeing a plus-size woman be desired? Is it forced because you think it's not realistic for a conventionally attractive man to fall in love with and (intensely) desire a plus-size woman? Do "Francesca and John have more chemistry" because they feel more developed and romantic or because they have a conventionally attractive, skinny white woman at the center of it?

I think a lot of this "Penelope and Colin feel forced and have no chemistry" hate doesn't come from where people think it does. The fat phobia is SHOWING

Someone ACTUALLY just tried to tell me that it’s more “morally acceptable” to ship Luffy and Hancock than it is to ship Sanlu. Are you for REALLLLLL

Jimmy is canonically getting called a shrimp and injuring himself trying to open jam jars and Thomas is like "oh my god this is my dream man".

Seven and Shaw’s dynamic is endlessly fascinating to me

He won’t respect her name due to his Borg trauma but will not hesitate to die for her

She will call him out for being a disrespectful bigoted asshole but will not sacrifice his life

I’ve never seen two people this Angy™️ at each other but will still die for each other

It’s such a differently unique Captain and XO dynamic when compared to the other captains and first officers on the other shows

Amongst the myriad ways the Voltron: Legendary Defender writers failed spectacularly, is the unintentionally humorous example of Shiro's supposed future husband, "Curtis", having more chemistry with Acxa, in the form of an actual conversation he initiates with the intention of learning personal information about her.

"What about you, Acxa? Did you have pets where you're from?"

"I never had a creature companion. But, one of my partners, Narti, was bonded to an immortal cat named Kova.

That cat gave her the ability to experience the world."

"Oh. That's... 'great'."

This is more than he has with Shiro in the entire thirteen episode season, wherein their interactions are limited exclusively to shouting impersonal commands at each other in the heat of battle.

Sky and Nani weren’t together for GMMTV’s holiday video, forget the hetero hyphen, forget the bromance, this is all the proof we need that they are never gonna kiss lol! I haven’t seen a pairing not wanna be branded together this much since Bright and Win were forced to work together post Still2gether until their contracts ran out 😂

Oh but can you IMAGINE what it woulda been like if Christina Hendricks and Manny Montana did just ONE. ONE delicious promo interview together, sitting side by side, talking about the show, their characters, their dynamics together, brio. Just... The off screen chemistry? The... Well I guess tension... I mean CAN YOU IMAGINE?

I know, I know, there were (probably) some behind the scenes issues and everything but.... I mean, the chemistry was undeniable throughout and I just wish we got to see how they interacted and their dynamics outside the show. The frenzy it would send the fandom into. FRENZY.

The fact that we only have two behind the scenes photos of them out of character and literally nothing else will forever be our cross to bear as a fandom, anon.

Like Christina Manny bts pics you will always be famous.

As much as I love to hate on Walt, there's also a part of me that can understand his frustrations of not being able to share his """"achievements""" with his family. Walt always felt like an underachiever. He is an overqualified highschool chemistry teacher. His students don't even respect him. He struggles trying to make ends meet just to provide for his family, and not to mention his regrets surrounding gray matter.. (which is kinda his fault, like Eliott offered to work with him again but he refused 🤷‍♀️) but the thing thing is, all of it served to make him feel humiliated and emasculated.

And then he got into the Meth Business and he is finally excelling at something that he is good at. He finally sees himself becoming the capable breadwinner of his family. Ofc he would be proud of it, I mean who wouldn't want to share your achievements with your loved ones and be recognized for it?

Except he can't, because his family would hate him if they knew he's a drug dealer. Rather than being the capable provider that he wished to be seen, Walt thinks that he is still very much the poor and helpless dad in the eyes of his family. I remember when Jr opened a website to help fund Walt's cancer treatment even though the latter is more than capable of paying for it. Then Jr gets featured on the tv for it and the whole time the focus was on him even if Walt was the one who secretly paid it. It was kinda funny ngl, but the point is Walt WANTS to be recognized but he couldn't and that frustrates him.(Except he is. Poor Flynn, he genuinely loved and looked up to his dad as A PERSON only Walt doesn’t see that.)

This is where Jesse Pinkman comes in. Jesse knew the side of Walt that his family doesn't, someone who he can share his criminal achievements and be recognized for it. They are partners after all, except Walt is the one in control.

I think its interesting how they put so much emphasis on Jesse being Walt's former highschool student. It already establishes the imbalance between them. Walt sees his job as a highschool teacher to be humiliating already and Jesse happens to be one of his inattentive students. So the fact that Jesse grew to admire and respect him is probably something that Walt views as an accomplishment. Jesse addressing Walt as "Mister White" is very telling. It's definitely the first step to fueling his ego, and it validates his want for power.

and I feel like as Walt became more and more estranged from his family. He starts projecting those frustrations to Jesse. His students don't take his classes seriously? well at least his former student Jesse does. His own son still thinks he is "helpless"? well at least Jesse doesn't. His wife hates him? At least he still got Jesse-

Walt wants to keep Jesse around him at all times to fuel his ego. He projects not just a teacher-student relationship with him, but also a pseudo son in him, and when its convenient for him, a pseudo mistress. (Like let's be real for a second, the Skyler and Jesse parallels are too obvious. One of the creators purposely mirrored some of their scenes, the actors even joke about it) Walt is just messed up like that.

and thus poor Jesse was dumped with fulfilling all of these different roles for Walt all at once (bc most of the important people in his life couldn't give that to him) It so happens that Jesse is a lonely and impressionable young man, who also seeks for validation, but in a mentor figure. This makes him susceptible to Walt's manipulations. All of these is what led to their relationship becoming as codependent and as toxic is we know in the show. By keeping Jesse around, Walt gets to have the sense of recognition that he always wanted.

The actors of the One Piece live action did such a wonderful job bringing their characters to life in season 1. The cast also has such excellent chemistry - I'm such a fan of them, as someone who never follows casts or behind the scenes on most shows. OPLA is special.

So, I got curious. Which pairs of characters do y'all think have the most onscreen chemistry? It can be romantic, platonic, rivals, mentor-mentee. It's up to you how you interpret!

Personally, I love the growing platonic love between the crew in season 1. Nami and Luffy are great (Emily and Inaki do so well growing that onscreen bond), same with Nami and Zoro, Usopp with all, and eventually Sanji.

Sadly, I could only include 12 options here, so I've added the first 12 that entered my head (whether or not they had a lot of scenes together). Let me know if there's a pair that had more chemistry but didn't make my list! (I'm sure I'll have an ah-ha moment after I post this poll...😅)
