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.
“Emily is one of the only main characters to not have a romantic relationship storyline in the new seasons. You once said you would be open to portraying emily as a queer character, now that cme is going into its third season, do you think that is a possible future storyline for emily?”

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.
Now i better not see anyone go after AJ for that “sisterhood” thing because hating her and calling her homophobic is not it😒 that’s weird and crazy! my girl did nothing wrong leave her alone😤
it’s not her fault jemily is not canon, you’re coming at the wrong person and please remember that AJ is literally the biggest shipper of Jemily‼️

lyric analysis of "Best Guess" connecting it to huskerdust below :)
SONG: BEST GUESS BY LUCY DACUS
"My best guess At the future You are my best guess"
The hotel's whole purpose is rehabilitation for the future, so that sinners have a something to work towards together.
"If I were a gambling man, and I am You'd be my best bet"
No explanation required. But I'll take this moment to say I definitely read this song from Husk's point of view.
"If this doesn't work out I would lose my mind And after a while I will be fine But I don't wanna be fine I want you, you, you are"
Being in Hell, the only time the characters have found happiness is with each other. But Angel is working towards redemption and wants to be better, whereas Husk isn't (in fact he doesn't seem to believe he can be better) and doesn't have any plans to get to Heaven but he wants Angel to and is supportive (even if he knows that means he would never see him again)
"I watched you fall from grace You were graceful After all, it's a small world"
Husk has seen him at his worst and didn't run away or let him 'self destruct' He related to what Angel was going through, almost like they found similarities with each other in a small world?
"You may not be an angel"
Angel working towards redemption from Hell to Heaven and not feeling like a perfect person but not wanting to be awful, cue Husk coming in with "baby, that's fine by me" being accepting of who he is (also Angel not being his real name but the persona Husk can see through)
"You are my pack a day You are my favorite place You were my best friend before you were"
Their shared struggles with addictions, the bar/hotel being their home together, and them finding a connection in how they were hurt and then not feeling so alone.
"My best guess at the future You are my best guess If I were a gambling man, and I am You'd be my best bet You are my best guess at the future You are my best guess If I were a gambling man, and I am You'd be my best bet"
DO YOU SEE THE VISION?!?!?!?!
OH SHE FUCKING GETS ITTTTTT THEO SHARPE SUPREMACY AND BISEXUAL ELOISE TRUTHERRRR IKTR

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
