"I love you too, Ben."

devi vishwakumar just spent an entire year pining for ben gross, if you even fucking care

oh, you mean the girl who looks at you like nothing else matters in the world?? that devi?

i can’t believe ben and devi will continue living their lives without ever knowing they’re each other’s valentine perfect match

Well, NHIE has been brilliant.

I remember watching the show and at first, I was a little surprised at how chaotic it was and questioned whether I liked it or not. But, as I kept watching it quickly became one of my favorite shows because I just loved how finally there was a main character that was unapologetically messy, made mistakes and was just all around human. You know like at first you hate Devi because you’re all like, “Wtf this girl’s a mess.” And then you realize that well…she’s kind of like most people. She’s messy ass hell, problematic, and not the best person at times. But that’s okay because no one is perfect and I think that was the driving point behind NHIE. That no matter how good your grades are, no matter how good looking you are or how popular you are, it’s still likely that you’ll never be perfect. And that’s okay, because expecting perfection out of a human that’s literally designed to fail sometimes is exhausting and not healthy. But what is healthy is accepting your flaws, and actively working towards being the best version of yourself but also realizing you’re gonna slip up sometimes.

But that’s okay.

Because Never Have I Ever been perfect, and I related so much with these characters that aren’t either.

Ben in season 1: “Shut up, my dad’s hot!”

Devi in season 4: “My mom is very hot! The greeter at Cosco winks at her every time we go.”

👏Parallels👏People👏

I’m sorry Daxtons, I really am, but do you really still expect Paxton to be endgame when he’s technically a faculty member of Sherman Oaks now? I get that he’s merely a year older than Devi but to me it’s really a show of how different their stages at life are.

Because literally… Even if Devi caught up with Paxton, why should she? There’s literally a boy who is walking in life at the same pace and is at the same stage with her. He who—from the very start of the series—was established to be someone she’s growing up with. Why choose someone who can grow out of you when you can choose someone who will grow with you?

Even if we put the Mindy Kaling formula out of the window, the establishment reads Ben Gross.

Never have I ever 4x9

When you’re team Ben and Paxton so you’re happy regardless of how each season ends cuz it always ends with one of them possibly dating Devi >>>>

Never Have I Ever is the story of someone in their late 30’s looking back into their teenage selves and whispering “it’s going to get better! you are going to be ok!”

Ok, I'm desperate, my loves. Can somebody recommend a show with finished enemies to friends to lovers story? Because waiting for new seasons is killing me. KILLING ME I SAY.

“shit, how am i going to get back into my sari?”

“oh, uh. i’ll pull up a youtube video?”

your honor, i love these idiots

Ben & Devi

Hills of Aberfeldy, I cried listening to this song and the last part of the song reminded me of ben and Devi so I just had to make it.
