as a rom-com connoisseur, what does your ideal chapgone confession/getting together scene look like?

oh ho ho now that’s a question

So I think we all agree that it is Chapman who would have to make a move and confess, we the audience do not know what goes on in his head. Madeline is isn’t an omniscient narrator but she does have way more insight into pretty much every character except for Chapman. All we know about him is what he says and we all know he’s untrustworthy. I will take him at his word that for most of the show he was not attracted to Antigone. Dumb? yes but unfortunately the truth.

BUT Antigone has not done anything explicit on her part which I think is a bit of a flaw? The reason I refuse to believe Antigone’s crush won’t be a part of s4 is because she didnt confess and get any real closure and it was alluded to for the rest of the season bc she has moved on because she respects herself but it doesnt mean that’s it, feelings are gone bc that’s not how feelings work. She is over it, but if given the right circumstances where she is being recognized for the important person that she is, then it is not a waste of time anymore.

MY dream chapgone confession scene is a lil pie in the sky, im not a very good predictor but this would my personal fun time not necessarily good ask: fake dating

I want a fake dating episode. We are long over due for someone from Chapman’s past. Family. Former Co-worker. Ex. Someone he needs to impress so desperately. Cliche yes that the perfect man in a small town gets shown up by someone from his past but I trust the WO team to do it right. But that couldn’t even necessarily be the reason bitch could just need to be in a relationship to get money in a will. 

So Chapman needs someone to play his beloved significant other. Georgie finds him repulsive and isn’t single anyways. Rudyard could not convincingly play “In Love” if his life depended on it. Antigone is the only one left because Chapman does not want to go outside of Funn Funerals because of course not, Antigone to be a good playwright you really should venture a big part of acting

Alternatively it could also be a classic 90s romcom dare “Bet you can’t date the weird girl and make her prom queen material” except Chapman may be an ass but not in that way, he would approach Antigone and be like lets prove these people wrong and swindle Sid Marlow in the same move.

Naturally being in cahoots leads to love, it’s a hat trick, hiding a dead body, surviving a mine explosion, fake dating, the plots these two have had they are in it now. Chapman bring back his idiot lets join funeral home again, Antigone moves to reject, but he clarifies, it;snot for business, it’s for love, they’ve been through so much already, would it be so odd if they continue? Antigone hesitates, then vents her pining frustration and he gives some bizarre rousing speech, partially in french no less,she is still not so convinced but her feelings are stirred up again. Beth Eyre gets some insane soliloquy about how she has grown she is important and this fall back crux would be a misake(performed for Madeline) that fuels my personal anxiety spirals for years to come. She considers going to Rudyard and Georgie but she’s embarrassed. Who does does she turn to as her inner subconscious? The village hoodlums. she’s also considering leaving the island. They go on about how the notion of romance is nothing but a heteropatriarchal capitalism con sold to us by the industrial card and diamond complex. Antigone has a personal revelation that if she ever wants to at least try for a romance then she’ll have to grab for it when the opportunity presents itself and if it fails then it fails thats life

Chapman on the other hand turns to Rudyard and Georgie, why? because he’s a glutton for punishment Rudyard muses it wouldn’t be so bad to have Chapman to be a part of the family, they’ve softened up even more over the course of the season and Georgie is hesitant but does care for Antigone and doesn’t think it’s the end of the world. Jennifer is also there, offers to allow him to make another impassioned speech on the radio, this time he has had the added sensible touch of georgie and rudyard’s awful funn sensisbilities, Antigone hears it on the radio, knows this is (especially bc he uses a bunch of weird morbid references) she comes home and then they kiss :)

this really got away from me ihave no idea if itsin character i havent read this over but this is what ive got :)
