Love the flavor of soulmates that is a main m/f partnership dynamic that's mostly platonic but also romantic but also dysfunctional and yet completely essential - like these characters would not work without each other, but they barely work with each other, and most importantly they know each other carnally better than anyone else, but it's also not about sex at all it's about the partnership and navigating the highs and lows of intimacy and letting someone in, but also maybe they do fuck, but also maybe don't, but also...

#mythic quest #the bear #ted lasso #grimpop #sydcarmy #tedbecca #add more in the tags if you got them i can't remember any more rn #but either way this has definitely been a trend and i love it #and in every case i tend to just be on board and not swing in either direction #if they're best friends amazing and if they're a couple fantastic #as long as it's a well written dynamic i love to see it #my posts #this also goes for same sex partnerships of course but there it's a bit trickier #bc there's almost always the historic queerbaiting added layer and it's hard to not just ship them anyways #but like sam/frodo is like this for me too or enid/wednesday -#great if platonic great if romantic but they're soulmates either way and that's what matters #also this isn't every ambiguous relationship sometimes it is possible to decide #like gelphie are obviously in love and hawkeye/black widow are obviously platonic soulmates #and sometimes a couple can start off like this and get romantic (like eleanor/chidi) or platonic (like stevie/david) later #but it's the nuances and the good writing and the variety for me #we can have romantic soulmates and platonic ones and both #and i love talking about the intricacies of this #but this post was mostly to appreciate these in particular
