I just need to know if any of you remember the show Lie to Me, because I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since like 2010 and I will never ever be over its untimely cancellation and the fact that we never got at least one last season or even a movie to wrap it up...in my head, these two live happily ever after.
I mean, look at them. Look at him looking at her. They are the textbook definition of a grumpy/sunshine couple, they love each other so much (he admitted it but not to her), and they are perfect. They deserved closure. Not to mention the rest of the cast was freaking stacked, they had Jennifer Beals, they had Mekhi Phifer, Marc Blucas, Felicia Day, Melissa George, Max Martini...it was a gem. The shiniest and prettiest and most rare of gems. I will miss it forever.
scenes that make you want to write an essay part 1
cal and gillian have very nearly MSR levels of chemistry and it's making me genuinely unhinged. criminal that lie to me only got 3 seasons and has very little fandom presence. they're so crazy about each other! so many near death experiences! so much flirting! they're both very insane! I love them 😭

Aziracrow/Ineffable Husbands (of course)
Shassie (my newest ship but I'm deeply invested now)
Agathrio (had me in a chokehold from Ep ONE)
Huskerdust (I'm SO HERE for their "slow burn romance" which is canon per Viv!)
Whouffaldi (do not @ me. they are in LOVE.)
Jeff x Annie (I'm aware of the problems but DAMN their chemistry is REAL)
Bubbline (even before I knew it was canon, I knew they belonged together)
Rumbelle (the first OTP that got me writing smut!)
Sarah x Jareth (baby's first ship, the one that started it all. Iconic, problematic, and formative AF.)
Honorable mentions below the cut!

Hearing Cal tell Gill “I always have more trouble reading you than anyone else” at the end of an episode all about how he struggles to read someone when he’s distracted by attraction… I am losing it
WHY HAVE I NEVER POSTED THIS ITS LIKE THE ONLY GOOD THING IVE MADE IN RECENT MEMORY
