YOU ARE NOT INSANE YOU'RE ACTUALLY SO RIGHT
Unpopular opinion or whatever, but I do not like Ellis x Nick. Nick is 35 years old, Ellis is 23. Ellis would've been 5 when Nick was graduating High School. I find the pairing a little weird tbh, and I see a lot of people put a weird power inalance on them
Also, age aside, even with their interactions, it just feels more familial than romantic. It's portrayed that Ellis is seen like a younger brother to Nick and Rochelle, and like a son to Coach. I wish I had more people that agreed with me on this topic. I also don't think Nick is in a spot where he's capable of a relationship. That ego and persona he puts up would make it very difficult to have a healthy relationship with ssomeon, since he has this constant blockade up.
What I will agree on that I've seen is Nick and Francis. I can see something there. Maybe they could form a bond, maybe they were exes, who knows! I could see them having something. I also like the canon relationship of Ellis and Zoey. I think they're cute. Or Ellis and Keith. I think Ellis has the BIGGEST crush on his best friend.
