what is the most underrated ship, in your opinion?
I had a lot of trouble deciding for this one. I said in another ask for this game that I quite often like the other couple combo, which means those ships aren't celebrated as much but that’s just my own preferences.
I kind of thought about Kevin and Scotty but I think if they were on a show now people would be all over it (and maybe they were at the time but not in the internet format that’s familiar to me and it was before I was a super internet-y person).I’m going with Ellie and Awesome from Chuck because they’re in the shadow of the main ship of the show and their will-they-won’t-they dynamic (which absolutely makes sense). I like them because they’re really solid. There’s no point in the show where you think they’ll break up. They work together. They’re really good at communicating and supporting each other. Sometimes they have issues (the washing machine V new TV in S1, his overuse of the word awesome - if everything is awesome then awesome becomes mediocre) but they work through them together, they’re very much a team. I also like how everyone is really impressed with Awesome because everything he does is awesome from rock-climbing to flossing you’re really aware of how great he thinks Ellie is - there aren’t any big moments of her thinking she can’t compete with him (even though his family the Very Awesomes make her a bit insecure). He also has great respect for Ellie’s family, asking her little brother Chuck for his blessing before he proposed. He keeps Ellie calm when she worries about Chuck. One of my favourite moments for them is when Ellie is in labour and he’s a bit panicked she says ‘I need you to go outside and take five minutes for yourself, pull yourself together and then come back to me.’ She knew he needed that break and she knew she could trust him to come back and be Awesome and be what she needed. That moment really stood out to me. I think Ellie is super great she’s the kind of woman I’d like to be (I almost put when I grow up but I think I’m pretty grown at this point and probably around the age of Season 1 Ellie). I’m just here for solid, together, couple-y couples.I hope this makes sense for you because I know you haven’t watched all of Chuck (because you’re awful).
I’ll probably think of a more fitting answer for this five minutes after I post this.
