Rewatching parks and rec at the end of season 2 only for Ben and Leslie to fall in love again

I love Sam & Cait. They’re fun to see both on-screen in OL or other projects and off-screen in interviews, SM posts, PR efforts, conventions, as well as BTS in stolen reflections and fan pics. I don’t have much interest in Harry & Meghan TBH, but I think about the intense pressure celebrity couples must feel. So many crumble. SC seem to aim for balance and I’m sure that helps combat the pressure. They back each up and cheer each other on. They also work hard on all of their various projects, and many I believe are co-ventures. It’s obvious to me that they’re a team, a unified front facing the challenges, pressures and craziness of fame head on. But I think the sexiness of OL created an atmosphere where SC couldn’t find balance as a RL couple in public when they gave so much of themselves on screen. We may have forgotten after six years, but their love scenes revolutionized the industry. The first season is now studied in college film classes! The female gaze is the new standard (Bridgerton anyone?) OL put Starz on the Obsessible path. SC are beautiful together—they ARE the sexiest couple, as Sam said. I’m sure they pinch themselves when they reflect on the perfection of their celestial alignment! Sam struggled, faced failure and almost gave up. Cait left one demanding, ego-shrinking profession after ten years to jump into another soul-grinding one and didn’t find immediate success. But they found each other and then everything else fell into place. They made magic. IMO they need balance and privacy to protect it. If TPTB control their lives and talked them into the Narrative for whatever reason, I’m not sure any of us would’ve made a different decision, given the entirety of their situations. We have to put all of it in PERSPECTIVE. It must be hard to ACT as if they’re single or married to a friend/PA when they’re actually with the “Love of their Life” and wouldn’t the WHOLE WORLD love to know it! But they’re actors and they can act off-screen too. Why do we expect anything else? Why do we need confirmation? I truly believe they’re together with a family. I think it’s OBVIOUS for anyone paying attention—they ARE together and they work together. But we shouldn’t wait around for SC to hit us over the head with a joint declaration of their deep love for one another. Why would they? They have it all right now. Why tip the balance? Adding: However, I don’t think they need to find fake GFs for Sam or a fake marriage certificate for Cait. If they could be discreet and quit the gaslighting, we would all be grateful. ❤️💕❤️
