Juxtapose

Juxtapose (Legends) - Justin Hampton

everyone’s doing it (did. i am very late) very light-heartedly and here i am with my english papers... WHATEVER i like psychology and shit <3

Natalia/Camila

THEIR CONTRASTING PERSONALITIES. Naty’s sweet, soft, and (let’s be real) pushover personality juxtaposes Cami’s impulsive, brash, outgoing, and unapologetic nature. In turn, they end up complimenting each other, Naty being able to make Cami become less irrational and Cami bringing Naty out of her shell. Opposites do attract <33

I just realized that they’re the couple with the least problems. Obviously, they’re flawed individuals, but together, they don’t really have any arguments or whatever. They just enjoy being with each other a lot.

“1, 2, 3. ABBA!” “PERO QUÉ CONEXIÓN”

They’re... so cute. They’re so pure and giddy with each other and just... THEY’RE ADORABLE.

Cami was given the option to practice her kiss scene with any boy but chose Naty instead (because two girls can’t have feelings for each other, right? ...right?).

The way they touch each other. Examples:

And I think most importantly, they’re good for each other. They encourage the best in each other and they both feel extremely comfortable with the other. Their relationship also contrast the toxic ones they were previously in: Cami treats Naty as equal rather than inferior unlike Ludmila and Cami can communicate much better with Naty than Broduey.

Federico/Ludmila

As opposed to Naty and Cami’s contrasting personalities, Fede and Ludmi have matching personalities. Fede’s a little nicer than Ludmi, but deep inside, they’re both absolute divas and most importantly, MASSIVE DORKS. Which brings me to my next point:

Their shared love over astronomy. First of all, shared special interest. Second of all, it sparks a conversation multiple times on the show with it being their main flirting style (the binary stars metaphor specifically). Fede also challenges her view on supernovas at one point by showing the downsides of them rather than them being all good.

Speaking of, their astronomy metaphors. I’m sure they have others (that I don’t remember), but the binary stars-soulmates one is definitely their main one. The fact that the writers excellently executed this storyline for a randomly paired couple should just be applauded.

Ludmi was so fucking adorable when being head-over-heels over Fede, okay? Was it out of nowhere from season 1? Yes, I’ll give you that. Was it dramatic? Also yes, but that’s a part of Ludmila’s character (and the style of campy Disney shows). This is one of the first times in the show where we see Ludmi genuinely happy. No schemes, no ulterior motives, just love. 

Not only is Ludmi happy to be with Fede, but Fede is as well. That’s definitely a reason to ship them: them simply enjoying each other’s company no matter what problems arise.

Season 3 may have given us the “give them problems to make the story more interesting” trope, as I like to call it, but can you really blame Fede for most of it when he knows what Ludmi did in the past? Anyway, even if Fede had trust issues sometimes, he still believed Ludmi was a good person deep down and could change. Especially in season 2, he defended her to characters like Andrés, León, and even Vilu who is very forgiving.
