I was part of the GA when season 4 released and this shot right here made me realize that they were gonna go through with a love triangle. Not only that, but that Will & Mike were likely going to end up together. Why? Because it’s been hardwired into my brain what this type of shot means. The person in the middle tends to end up getting the guy/girl. Here’s just a few examples from shows I’ve watched throughout my life.

Exhibit A: Ross & Rachel from Friends

Ross literally got married to someone else and STILL ended up with Rachel in the end. Because they’re each other’s lobsters. (That’s a Friends reference lol) This is my mom’s absolute favorite show in the world so I’ve seen episodes of this show a million times. She plays it every single day. Well, I know where I got my obsessive behavior from lol 😆

Exhibit B: Lizzie and Gordo from Lizzie McGuire

I was too young to actually ship them and appreciate them while it aired but recently did a rewatch and omg the best friends to lovers trope really does have me in a chokehold. So adorable! The final scene of the entire show is literally a cute ass montage of Lizzie and Gordo moments before a freeze frame of her kissing him on the cheek. Oh and they end up kissing in the Lizzie McGuire movie as well. I’d say that’s endgame lol

Exhibit C: Eli and Clare from Degrassi

I’d say this is the first ship that I actually obsessively shipped while it aired. Their popularity within the Degrassi fandom was insane and the writers knew that. So because they knew that, boy did they make us suffer and put us on one hell of a rollercoaster. So. Much. Drama. So much playing with our emotions. After everything they actually were endgame though. Miraculously. That’s not typical for a Degrassi couple. Oh, and Eli Goldsworthy was the original emo boy we all went crazy for lol boy drove a freaking hearse! His Degrassi entrance is legendary haha

Chad x Ryan:

When writing this "In Memoriam" on Steve Paxton, it was hard not to be overwhelmed with his myriad brilliant activities and the force of his intellectual curiosity. I focused on the questions he asked: Where does movement come from? What does our spine do in spherical space? Does an idea start with a feeling? How can we dance mutually, against hierarchies? His curiosity helped to create three major collectives: Judson Dance Theater, Grand Union, and Contact Improvisation. Dance Magazine posted the short version here: Steve Paxton's burning questions, my "In Memoriam" is posted at https://www.dancemagazine.com/steve-paxton-obituary/ My longer version is at https://wendyperron.com/steve-paxton-1939-1924-a-life-of-burning-questions/
