i was just thinking earlier about how, even though this might just betray me as being too romance-fixated (and i am! i really am! i know this about myself), shows really get soured for me when they seem to promise a 'this is the steady relationship of this show' kind of pairing and then they yank it away from you in the name of realism or whatever. roy/keeley from ted lasso and darryl/white josh from crazy ex-girlfriend are the two examples of this that really hurt for me. like, i get that maybe i'm just being petty and i should try to appreciate these stories about how love doesn't work out sometimes, but nope, sorry. i wanted them to be the supporting couple that made it throughout the series and i didn't get it and now i'm always gonna feel a bit less loving toward a show i once loved with all my heart! because ouch!
