I LOVE Pacey & Joey and so glad they were endgame. It’s crazy to me knowing that they weren’t meant to be at first yet they have so many great moments, scenes in just chemistry.
But 🙈🙈🙈 one of the reasons …….. I love that they ended up together is for Pacey. Because yes he’s been in other relationships in love with those other people. But he was always happiest with Joey. And I love Joey think she was great she had her moments but Pacey 💜💜
Pacey Witter still is one all-time favorites
I laugh about it now but imagine how fucking iconic you have to be that your chemistry literally SAVES your show?
I was reading some old interviews and stuff and it's so amusing how there have been articles after articles written about how Dawson's Creek was on the cusp of cancellation and they needed something to bring life to the show and how putting Pacey and Joey together was the defining relationship for not only the show but every single teen drama that came after. One of the writers on the show wrote a book about his career and mentioned how the storyline "Pacey kisses Joey" was pitched by Greg Berlanti and it CHANGED the entire show.
On top of all, Pacey and Joey's love story was mainly written by women, so no wonder Pacey is the perfect man, lol. Pacey Witter was written by women and therefor there was no other way for him to come out any other way than "the greatest boyfriend ever". There's a reason Pacey is so universally beloved by woman everywhere. He's the ultimate man. And then Joshua Jackson plays him. Lmaooo, seriously god was working overtime, I swear.
I think one of the biggest reasons people wanted them to end up together is because of the way Pacey loved Joey. You just wanted him to finally get the girl. But another reason is because I think every woman wanted to be Joey, loved so deeply by someone like Pacey.
Who doesn't want to end up with a guy that looks at you like you hung the moon, who tells you you are a goddess, who puts you first and respects you and time and time again shows up for you and who is kind and sweet and never selfish with you. A guy who encourages you to be the best you can be, who sees you and challenges you. A guy who counts to 10 before kissing you just in case you change your mind. A guy who remembers every moment he has had with you because you are that special to him. A guy that buys you a wall and asks you to ask him to stay! A guy who whisks you away on a romantic summer journey and who inspires you to LIVE and who makes you feel ALIVE?!
Honestly, sometimes there doesn't need to be a whole analyze (although I WILL give that to you too) as to way two people should be together. Just the fact that he was that ultimate boyfriend is enough of a reason. Pacey Witter was perfectly flawed and the best of men. Of course he should have gotten the girl in the end. We were all Joey and we all want a Pacey in our lives. 🤷🏻♀️😊
