Nick and Jess - forever.

Huge props to Zooey who mostly takes over “longing looks” duty for Season 6 and knocks it out of the park.

Just a reminder that in “Cooler” Jess literally lasted like four hours before she missed Nick so much she had to make a fake Nick out of a melon.

okay so after having the night to think about it, i love the proposal/proposal episode even more. nick has spent god knows how long trying to come up with his first proposal plan and then that blows up in his face. he then spends the next month trying and failing three other times with different ideas on how to ask jess to marry him. nick keeps stressing how “perfect” he wants the proposal to be for jess and i think it’s partly because of how much he loves her, but also because of the expectations he thinks she has for it and him. a theme throughout the show is how nick thinks that jess always wants to change him in someway and that “nothing [he] does will ever be good enough for [her]” (to quote him from the season 6 christmas episode). he doesn’t want to disappoint/fail jess, so he works so hard crafting and stressing over creating a perfect proposal, only for her to find out what he’s been planning. what i love about it is she immediately tells him that the only thing that will make the proposal perfect is that it’s coming from him, nick miller. he looks so happy when she says that because he understands now that he is enough and all she wants is him. he literally gets down on one knee as soon as she says that with a huge smile on his face. nick was so happy during jess talking about their future that he had literal tears in his eyes; that’s how happy he is about marrying her!!! i think the proposal did a really good job of finally stamping out nick’s anxieties over jess wishing he was someone else or would act a certain way. all jessica day wants is to spend the rest of her life with nick miller. i think all in all it was simple, beautiful and really showed how much they just want to get married and be together 

I maintain that Nick is a little bit overprotective of Jess in the flashforward (grabbing her shoulders) because she’s pregnant ❤️
