#bowex

ex 1: Andi Mack ...this show could've went on longer but it was given the 3 season curse by disney

- (the last) main pair: tyr*s

i absolutely do NOT ship this and still can't STAND TJ. after he disrespected buffy, i never saw it for him again. i ship cyrus with another boy, which i'll say below - alternative/side pairs i ship more:

bowex (side)

normally i'm not a fan of second chance romance like this but... they got me girl jyrus (alternative)

WE WERE ROBBED OF THIS GLORIOUS FRIENDS TO LOVERS, jonah was always so sweet to him too :( THE SHOW'S BEEN OVER FOR YEARS AND I'M STILL MADDDD wandi (side)

underrated af. this could've been great. but of course they wanna throw away a black character (they reached their one black character quota w buffy already) /hj ex 2: netflix’s first kill netflix can't HELP but cancel their wlw shows huh... it's giving lesbophobic. THERE WAS SO MUCH MORE TO EXPLORE

- main pair: calliette

i definitely do ship this. jules and cal are adorable. jules head over heels from the first LOOK and cal's walls crumbling slowly but surely. 1x08 was HEARTBREAKING - side: margot x sebastian

idk there's just something about these two... the casual intimacy, the fact that magot "fucked" up her family's legacy for him, the tenderness between them in 1x03. but embarrassingly, i think the thing that put them above calliette for me was THAT scene in 1x05 LMAO. seb just wanted to protect his girls so davina had to GO. when margot walked in and questioned him and he just told the honest truth. girl he was so upset AND THE GAG WAS that margot seemed more upset by HIM being distraught than by HER FUCKING MOTHER BEING EATEN. like, she was upset FOR HIM rather than AT HIM. and then she KISSED HIM?!?!?!!? GIRL YOU WANTED A TASTE THAT BAD?!?!?! HELPPPPP. I could keep going but we got a lot more to go- NEXT

ex 3: the princess diaries (2001)

a classic w anne hathaway and julie andrews and sandra oh! executive produced by whitney houston (RIP) iirc????

- main pair: mia x michael

definitely when I was a child i shipped these two. not so much now, they're fine. it's inbetween an "indifferent" and "yes i do"

- side pair: clarisse x joseph

y'all these two!!!! so much tension in the first movie and you could tell there was history. they just... draw me in

ex 3.5: the princess diaries 2: royal engagement

adding chris pine to the rosta!

- main pair: mia x nicholas

i'm definitely in the minority of ppl who don't ship this. i just don't like the way this particular enemies to lovers story was executed. but i in no way dislike this ship as much as tyr*s. it's more like a slight annoyance. also i'm in the minority who ships mia w someone else... teehee

- alternative pair: mia x andrew

SORRY ANDREW IS JUST MORE HANDSOME TO ME. everytime i watch this movie i go "damn, mia, you want nicholas over ANDREW? whyyyy?? andrew seems so kind :(((" lowkey i feel like i ship him with me LOLLL. i wish they could've made it work. pls don't be mad at me side pair: clarisse x joseph

AHHHHH FINALLY AFTER DECADES THEY GET MARRIED. this is what you call PAYOFF to the first movie's BUILDUP. you can tell there is deep mutual love, respect, and admiration there, more than the actual canon pair

ex 4: the nanny

this is prob my fave show of all time YOPPPP. it's literally so funny

- main: fran x maxwell

yes of course i ship these two. you probably couldn't get thru the show if you didn't lol. much more when I was elementary school age but it's still there. i literally memorized that they finally got together in season 5

- side: niles x cc

this is one of my three OTPs fr. they are so special to me. niles is HILARIOUS and cc is gorgeous. THIS is the kind of enemies to lovers i like to SEE. their banter is top tier especially in the later seasons when they're more friends than enemies. i've watched their scenes together many times just to analyze their body language and microexpressions for CRUMBS of cute moments. when they embraced after cc finally accepted his marriage proposal >>>> i fear we must move on again or i will keep going...

ex 5: high school musical: the musical: the series

i don't like ol*via rodr*go :/

- main (currently): rina

um. happy that my sista gina got her mans i guess. r*cky just seems kind of boring to me like stale white bread but if u like it i love it girl. anyway SOFIA WYLIE NEXT IT GIRL

- side: seblos

cute cute cute they need more scenes together EXPEDITIOUSLY. two tenors making it work. they need a kiss like rina got in that episode

ex 6: parks and recreation

wow it's been years since i've watched this show but the phenomenon still applies here

- main: benslie

of course i ship benslie. there is no reason not to. they are so healthy. look at that picture. like w fran and maxwell, i used to ship them more, but then the beta couple once again took over my heart

- side: traegerkins

a HELLA underrated ship. their dynamic just draws me in,,, v radical that they wanted to be together and didn't care about marriage. sucks that they had to leave the show early

ex 7: one day at a time (2017-2020)

- main: sylena

i'm like in between an "indifferent" and a "I definitely do ship this". I’m happy my little activist queen Elena has a romantic partner and I have nothing against Syd. Their relationship is cute or whateva

- side pair: alvareider

just like with jyrus WE WERE ROBBED. THEY GO TOGETHER REAL BAD, and i'm always a sucker for a friends to lovers journey. riddle me this, gloria: if these two were never supposed to happen, WHY WAS THERE AN ABUNDANCE OF ROMANTICALLY CODED MOMENTS BETWEEN THEM HUH?!?!?!?! why did this have to be the one time where heteronormativity didn't come through for me LMAO

ex 8: high school musical 2

- main: troy x gabriella

definitely when I was younger yes i shipped them, but now? not really. honestly I mostly care about the music and having a good time singing along when i watch this movie. they're fine, i don't dislike them

- side: chyan

kenny ortega, the man that you are for the i don't dance sequence... i could never thank you enough. my fave song from this movie. dancing as an allegory for being queer... your mind. it's too big. sexual tension through the ROOF and of course... THEY SWITCHED CLOTHES. i personally headcanon chad as bi bc i like to think he actually did have feelings for taylor in senior year, but he and ryan become VERY GOOD FRIENDS after college... idk
