I find it really telling that the ones who are actually boyfriends are the ones who have the least compatibility, while the ones with the lower status have the most.
Like, Top and Mew don’t even like each other as people. Just an idea. Top likes the IDEA of Mew. And Mew likes the IDEA of Top. But Mew keeps insisting Top be someone he’s not and then Top keeps lying about who he is and then Mew believes that lie. Their whole relationship is a performance. They are the two characters with the least personal chemistry (not sexual chemistry. But it’s also like they’re deliberately putting the breaks on that too since Mew is reading more and more Demi/aspec to me)
Then we have the one step down to the Friends with Benefits, Boston and Nick, who are a lot more compatible but also create façades to a lesser degree. Boston reminds me of a cheaper knockoff version of the Nevertheless kdrama guy. He keeps telling Nick he isn’t interested in something more while also peppering him in domestic pecks and sniff kisses while giving pet names and cuddles and words of encouragement similar to one’s spouses give. Like Boston wants the freedom of no strings attached just for HIM, but needs Nick to feel smitten and in love and devoted for his own ego. So he plays boyfriend anytime he feels Nick slipping away while never allowing the label to stick. Meanwhile, Nick is literally surveilling him. They’re more aware of each others true selves, but they also perform.
And the one with the lowest status, Ray and Sand as just ‘bed friends/one night stand’, are the ones who have the most authentic relationship out of all of them. There are almost no lies between them. And they don’t dole out affection as a way to manipulate the other into thinking they are someone or feel someway they are not. They give affection because they want to. They don’t give affection when they don’t. They’ve seen the worst sides so they don’t pretend that they don’t exist.
And I don’t know. I just think it’s neat!
How can you not ship them, seriously
I really like her with Benjamin, but you can't deny there's chemistry between them
listen…….i know that shipping Midge with Lenny Bruce is ultimately pointless due the fact that Lenny Bruce was a real person and that when it comes to his character on the show, unless she decides to go full revisionist history route with him, Amy Sherman-Palladino is most likely going to stick pretty close to how his actual life played out…..but i don’t…….como se dice……….give a fuc k
Being a queer female and having short fingers is like a curse I CANNOT FUCKING WIN
You can do that in your teens too
what do people in their twentys do except go to the grocery store……….

I can't believe I didn't pick up on it in the first episode but Mew is such a proficient manipulator for someone so young and inexperienced. He likes having control, and I'm surprised Top is actually sticking around. He must be so sure of himself his confidence makes him blind to Mew's tricks. Either that or it makes the challenge more interesting and the conquest more gratifying for him, so he's just waiting to take the trophy home.

Walking in a downpour under a torn umbrella wearing soaking wet Converses and caring only for the music playing in my headphones is an aesthetic I will never give up
