Why I ship Devi and Paxton on "Never Have I Ever".
Okay, so obviously season 2 of NHIE finally came out so conversations about which ship of the triangle is the superior one has arisen once again. Now, I am no hater of any ship. Yes, i may be critical, but am no hater. Ship and let ship, is my motto. That said, I am personally a daxton shipper. Here is why.
I rewatched season 1 to watch season 2 because I forgot a lot of the first season in the long wait between the two. After watching if from the beginning, I couldn't help but see just how much Devi and Paxton's relationship had evolved. I mean, homegirl literally asks for Paxton to have sex with her in the beginning. And from there they start acknowledging each other where even his best friend (Trent) talks to her.
People can say that he was shallow to ice her out after kissing her, but guy was pretty much the first one to help her out each time she needed before then. And he didn't even ice her out until her mom made her comments towards him. I think everyone forgets they are still high schoolers (regardless if the ages of the actors).
I think the reason I cannot particularly ship Ben and Devi is because I think Ben's feelings manifested because she is the only one who gave him any attention. Ben's parents and girlfriend didn't. And I forgot how rude and racist he was towards Devi. Them ending up together without more growth on Ben's part would just be kind of toxic to me in the fact that he was quick to jealousy and anger when upset. Not saying Devi isn't the same. It's just unless I'm wrong, even in the first season the only times Devi ever said anything rude or insulted Ben was as a reaction to what he said.
Also, I don't think I can completely forgive the forced kiss in the home theater. How is this different than the kiss with Paxton, who also just planted one on her, you may ask. Well, the reaction Devi had after each. One she pushed away from, and the other she pulled towards.
Regardless, I'm still very much team let Devi heal and mature. But both Devi and Paxton seem to be growing as characters by being with each other. Ben and Devi seem to bring out the worst, but that Malibu/friend reconciling thing is one of my most favorite parts of the whe series.
I don't know, I just feel that Ben and Devi are better as friends, but confuse that attention and feelings for love because they are teens. As for Devi and Paxton I feel as though they both feel the other is too good for the other so their relationship is tentative.
Anyways, that's my opinion. Would love to hear yours. As already mentioned, no judgment here. 🤗
