i have a dissenting opinion.
i have been seeing some variation of the "jemily won't happen because x" posts for a couple of weeks now and many of them are something along the lines how it wouldn't be realistic because jj has been married for 12 years/been with will for 17 years, they have kids, will just had a cancer scare, etc. etc.
and listen, i don't think it's going to happen either. i'm 95% sure it isn't going to happen. but not because it wouldn't be realistic for jj to hop into a relationship within a year after losing or divorcing will??? y'all. humans are fucking messy.
it's one thing to not want jj to jump into emily's arms in this situation. that's totally valid. but to say it WOULDN'T happen is simply naive. long term relationships end and people move on quickly all the time. i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but sometimes people even move on before leaving their current long term relationships. do i think jj would do that? no.
do i think she and will could separate (even after his cancer scare, especially after his cancer scare), and she could move on at a speed that is potentially unhealthy for her and everyone else involved? absolutely. jj is troubled. she always has been. she has never consistently made great decisions. and that is part of what makes her character rich and intriguing and relatable and wonderful. that's part of what makes all the characters on this show so great. they're all fucked up, guys.
the reason i don't think it's going to happen is because that would require cbs to approve 3 out of the 4 female leads being queer. and not just a casual mention of this-woman-who-is-married-to-a-man-happens-to-be-bisexual queer, but actively-engaging-in-wlw-behavior queer. and while paramount plus is the premium cable equivalent of cbs (dating myself with that...), it's still cbs. getting gay tara, while wonderful and thrilling, was the nail in the jemily coffin imo.
THAT BEING SAID. can y'all chill with calling the people who are excited about the teased possibility crazy and delusional take a breath? it's okay for fans to be excited about the possibility. it doesn't make them dumb. this is what fandom is about. i'm excited about the possibility because it's fucking fun. it gives me something to hope for. it's like talking about santa claus at christmas. do i expect a fat man to squeeze down my chimney? no. but i'm going to pretend because it's fun. leave them alone. let them hope and play and make headcanons for how it might happen.
especially because, from a true-to-life storytelling perspective, it's not crazy at all.
reasons why nick and jess are a butch/femme couple:
jess gives nick opportunities to help her (open jars, fix things) as a way of flirting
the things they find attractive about each other are undeniably lesbianic/weird, the whole beer-gargling thing oh my god
"you're nick miller's girl, now. you're my old lady" PLEASE
they both struggle at times with their confidence in sexual scenarios but somehow when they're together it just makes sense
nick is the only person who truly appreciates jess's specific brand of hyperfemininity and finds it attractive ("tarting around in your little pink robe")
goofy roleplay ("i'm just country lawyer with a very itchy bra")
all the small but significant ways they caretake/protect each other
they just are
Yes, creloise did have tension and chemistry.
But theloise had that and gave eloise space to be the rebellious feminist spirited woman she is.
No, I have nothing against creloise, a little part of me ships that too.
But theloise would be better for Eloise, by giving her space to be opiniated and headstrong while also showing her that not all people are as privileged and free as she is.
And its a match of intellectuals, a thing of the heavens
They will come back - come back again, even though Netflix destroys. We never wasted fanfic, art or memes. Do you think We would squander our boys?
“burn in the fiery pits of hell cbs” we all say in unison

Wink wink nudge nudge having Phillip end up with Eloise only works if the writing showed it. Like having Phillip be interested in advocating for women, them two meeting each other at least once, and you know saving their book moments for those two. Like their first meeting was given to Theloise, then the writing in the pamphlets was also given to Theloise, lastly Eloise running away from a sibling's wedding to see if her love interest is compatible with her was also given to Theloise. Also! The general audience isn't stupid! So stop insinuating that! Eloise's book is called To Sir Philip with Love. Like it's not our fault that Phillip was a minor character and very forgettable. Lastly, if Phillip is meant to be endgame, surely Chris Fulton should have been asked about his return. Especially during the Scottish BAFTAs or in press for Outlander. But no one asked, which is striking as TSPWL released over 20 years ago, and the title isn't really a secret! This is all is in sharp contrast to how Theo was treated like a male lead in the marketing and how Calam Lynch is still cagey to this very day about talking Bridgerton.

Jemily meets earthquake as Buddie met tsunami
Emily and Henry surprise JJ in LA after a case, the two women try to ignore their feelings for each other as the three of them feel more like a family than ever. But when Emily and Henry get separated during an earthquake, feelings become harder to suppress as panic ensues. Luckily some firefighters come to their rescue, even if they are even more oblivious to their feelings than JJ and Emily.
Written in honor of the endless buddie and jemily teasing both shows have been doing lately.

Ever think about how we have a canon sapphic demon/angel couple here, but the angel's the grumpy one and the demon is the sunshine one? Yeah. Anyways. Coping with the angsty ending of last episode by compiling my favorite Chaggie shots
