And yeah.. im gettin totaly optimistic over here, please dont fail me freeform

L cheering W up after her fight with Holden

W consulting dinner cooking with L though she really didn't have to

W visiting L in his work literally daily, tho no one else does that

L knowing W's tea order to the dot

W hates coffee, but L tries to make her love it saga

L: "im not really a tea person"

W: "im going to find the tea you like"

They are like representation of "coffee shop AU" fanfic

The easy small talk

W noticing L's black eye instantly

L knowing about W's trouble with Arthur and actually caring about it (unlike, no offence, holden)

The looks

L not getting macho mad at W for taking care of Jay and actually being grateful

i saw this situation in 100000+ shows. Guy has a problem(mostly a dangerous one) and is unable to fix it. Girl fixes it for him, because she is able to and just wants to help, though he didn't ask her to do it. Guy finds out and gets mad at her, because he is "a man" and she is "just a girl" and it makes him look weak that she helped him. Then there is drama and yadda yadda.

Im so gratefull that beyond didn't go that way and instead have shown L having enought respect for W that he just thanks her and doesn’t act like an ass (tho is still kinda expect him to do sth more, because that W did for him wasn't an little thing).

Back to reasons

L casually mentioning W around Holden, when its completely of topic, to apologize for her and try to make it right between them, because he knows how much does the fight with his brother worries her

The loooooks

The loooooooooooks

The loooooooooooooooks

Like have you seen it. Those are some serious heart eyes

And they smile at each other like all the damn time

Thats not really about them, but the fact that holden is totaly choosing Charlie lately (seriously, he though about her, after making out with W)

Also there are like 10000+ (totaly intentional if you ask me) paralels of them treating each other better then Holden treats them (again, no offence to holden, he has a lot on his plate and I don't mean to hate on his character, im just stating facts here).

Maybe... Holden you fucked up spectacularly. Like not only your brother and (soon to be ex) girlfriend is mad at you, but now even your greatest defender, girl that is definitely too good for you, is mad at you too. Well done you idiot.

Have I mentioned, how much never-ending respect I have for Eden Brolin? She is glorious actress, Charlie is perfect character and she deserves so much more credit.

Also Willa is gorgeous, Luke is a bae and Willuke is still on the rise and no-one can convince me otherwise.

I just really don't care about Holden, Mr and Mrs Matthews or Mustard Man. Ok, maybe im getting soft spot on that weird old villian in shitty jacket, but I still don't give a flipity flapitty fuck about Holden working in warehouse or Mrs Matthews flirting with creepy pastor.

Just no.

Gimme more Jeff instead, he has like 2 minutes every episode and I friggin hate it, because he is a wonderfull character and deserves so much more screentime.

And gimme Charlie being badass queen. She has so much sass and I love her. I kinda want her with holden (she would kick some brains in his dumb ass), but I dont care about this so much. i mostly care about her as a character. Eben brolin is a superb actress and she should get a lot more recognition, because the was she plays Charlie is just perfect.

Oh yeah.

And gimme Willuke. I still don't believe that there is hope for them becomming canon ship, but im totaly ok with some bromance, because they have enought of that.

No Lydia (our prayers were ignored)

Too much papa and mama Matthews, like no offense, but I don’t give a shit about them

Two unnecessary scenes of people building beds (baby swings) - it’s like an Ikea commercial

I almost had a heart attack, when it looked like Charlie was pregnant. It would be such a cheap plot twist

I absolutely loved happy Willa, being so proud of her shitty cooking

They gave us canon married pair of lesbian ladies of color, in waiting of a baby, and it’s beautiful.

Like really, I hated Tess with all my will in s1, but now that I know her backstory, I almost like her

I squeeled whenever Willa and Luke were on a same frame, they already have so many more scenes together

Charlie is such a badass, acting like a secret agent, breaking and entering and stuff

The scenes, where Charlie tries to troll captain mustard and he just gives her that cold look and pretends he didn’t hear her are just perfect.

JEFF MCARDLE my friends. He is gorgeous and he is back (he should have had more scenes tho)

Have I already spoke about canonical queer woc?

Willa kicking asses of like 6 guys in the bar with a billiard pole defines my sexuality

Luke giving Willa a dinner advice, thought he was on an opposite side of a room when she spoke about cooking. Like he pays so much attention to this girl, and always wants to help her.

And its not one of those shitty: "I don't like her, because she is in a way of my OTP." things. I don't do stuff like that.

No, I have completely rational reason for not liking her. She accused her boyfriend of selling drugs just to save her ass, which resuled in him getting kicked out of school, and she haven’t showed any remorse whateversome. And now she shows up from nowhere and wants to make it right? I don't think so biatch. This smells fishi.

Luke is really nice guy to begin with (at least I think so). Without Riley around he didn't do drugs or anything like this. The opposite, he was there, helping anyone he could (ehm ehm Holden, ehm ehm Willa) and getting his life together.

He even got this "assistant manager" offer. So the fact he begun bailing on his job and Willa noticed gives me so much hope for Willuke subplot. Also, can we talk about the fact that she totaly visits him just because they are such a good bros? Like yeah sure, she asks about Holden sometimes, but she totaly runs into the shop expecting to see Luke and is genuinly disapointed when he is not there.

Jesus christ, that second season gives me life.
