Eleanor and tahani- I just- wlw solidarity

[erzajaaane]

me every time eleanor calls tahani "babe":

[jokescomeandgobutswagisforever]

Jfc the literal most embarassing thing happened; an author came into our class to give a talk and the teacher said to him abput me, "oh shes self published," and after agonising silence a girl next to me said "fanfiction". TELL ME WHY I HAD TO LOOK AN ACTUAL RESPECTABLE AUTHOR IN THE EYE AND EXPLAIN WHAT FANFICTION IS. How am i supposed to explain to him that twelve year old me had an unreasonable belief that jeff the killer would kidnap her and her messtly bun like???

Eleanor: *eating shrimp* Oh God!

Tahani: Get a room!

Eleanor: I would get a room with these shrimp. I could show these shrimp a good time!

Jason: Hey, if you had to, which would you give up, food or sex?

Eleanor: Sex.

Chidi: Seriously, answer faster.

Eleanor: Oh, babe! I wasn’t thinking about sex with you!

Chidi: ...It’s like a giant hug.

one of my fave things about the good place is the multishipper rights bc yes i’m sad for eleanor when she misses chidi but in the same episode that scene with jason and janet reuniting was SO CUTE? and everytime eleanor calls tahani babe i feel blessed the good place still gives me a lot of feelings in s4

Soulmates are always endgame, but they may not always be the same ❤️

Okay, so lets talk about Chidi, Eleanor, Simone and Tahani.

I don’t multiship a lot, usually I’m a one OTP per character sort of person. But once in a while a show happens where that’s impossible. And The Good Place is one of those shows.

It’s like… I love Eleanor and Chidi okay? They’re adorable and they really have earned a place in my heart. Plus the fact that Eleanor seems to have fallen in love with Chidi in every other one of Michael’s attempts is pretty significant.

But I enjoy this show’s commentary on the soulmate myth as being a flawed one. It’s not about being ‘meant for each other’ it’s about ‘finding something beautiful in each other’ and how that doesn’t have to be only with one person in our lifetime.

Eleanor and Chidi found something beautiful in each other and it was absolutely amazing.

But the premise of this show allows them to explore how the variations of chance and circumstances can give different results.

Which is why Tahani fell for Chidi in the first attempt and Jason in Attempt #803.

And then there’s the fact that I also ship Tahani and Eleanor. Quite a lot. I’ve loved their chemistry from the beginning and the fact that Eleanor has been pretty significantly attracted to Tahani has been kinda important to me. I love me my bisexual characters.

So seeing that a version of events is possible where Eleanor and Tahani fall in love with each other would be FORKING AMAZING. And I NEED IT.

And the setup this season is perfect for it.

Tahani was introduced to Eleanor in a way that immediately showcases how much of a mess Tahani is too so there’s no initial perfectness there for Eleanor to chafe under. There’s just a very tall, very very attractive woman who is just as much of a disaster person as her.

And Eleanor is introduced to Tahani as the first person EVER to not be more interested in her sister. And that was definitely very attractive to her.

And btw during that scene Chidi looked the same way that Eleanor looked when she saw him first talking to Simone (the only difference being that during this scene they didn’t make a huge deal about putting the camera on his face the way they had Eleanor’s) so I wouldn’t be surprised to see some matchmaking attempts from his side too.

And yes, Chidi has Simone this season but I actually don’t agree that this is one of the reasons Tahani/Eleanor is fair game… mostly because that’s kinda of a gross way to look at it.

Simone is AMAZING and in one episode they managed to really convey how perfect she is for Chidi. Not to say that Eleanor wasn’t perfect for Chidi too. But that’s exactly my (and I think their) point. There is no one single person that’s perfect for Chidi. There is no one single person that’s perfect for Eleanor. Or Tahani. Or Jason. Or Simone. Or Janet.

It’s about finding a person that fits them and then building a relationship with that person until they’re perfect for each other, until they become what we would consider ‘soulmates’. And in this show, where we get to see them grow again and again while they don’t remember the previous versions, it doesn’t have to be the same person every time.

So I really think that in this one it’s going to be Chidi’s relationship with Simone.

And I WANT this to also be the one where we see Eleanor’s always present crush on Tahani getting a chance to become something more. And that’s for multiple reasons. Because they’re cute and I ship them. Because I really want them to give us more queer representation than just funny throwaway lines about how hot Eleanor thinks Tahani is. Because I approve of the message it would send about how finding love once doesn’t mean you’ll never find it again. And because I just think it would make for a good story line.

Basically what I’m saying is:

‘YOU get an OTP tag. And YOU get an OTP tag. AND YOU TOO GET AN OTP TAG!!!’

a part of tahani’s torture is having a man as a soulmate

I love every ship in the Good Place
