🌻Eve Baird Appreciation Week

Day Five: Favourite platonic relationship

Eve and Jake

From people who met during a bar fight, to work colleagues, to training buddies, to friends and equals, to almost more like siblings.

I love their dynamic, especially since Jake is the one person that is there in Eve’s most vulnerable moment. I love how she can be herself around him, how she can show herself hurt and angry and be vulnerable, without it being anything more than platonic (at least in this reality XD), she can let her guard down around him and be more than his tough boss/ training buddie and I think that’s beautiful.

They are similar in many ways and I feel like they understand each other probably best because of that, because they can relate in a lot of ways.

And they also differ in some things but that makes them a better team. for example she gets him to add martial arts to his expertise in arts.

Also I love how he is the first person in the alternate universe that she finds and can convince about the library.

And how proud he looks at her and he is simply happy for her.

But what I love most is the arm thing XD that’s such a cool move that they share with just each other and that makes it really sweet, like almost every friendship has their little ritual, and that’s theirs and I love it.

As far as romantic, this one’s easy for me. Eve and Flynn are so great together, and I’m so happy they got the Librarian equivalent of married this season.

I also love the dynamics Eve has with each of the lits, that generally parental, nurturing friendship where Eve’s going to do all she can to help the lits be their best.

I think this is more of a “disguise” than an AU? (Actually I’m not sure it’s either...) But I love FilmNoir!Eve from Season 4’s “And the Silver Screen”!

I’m so glad Rebecca Romijn plays Eve Baird— she’s absolutely perfect, and I can’t imagine anyone else in this role! We love you, Rebecca Romijn!
