@taikouvember Day 1 - Friendship: All the different layers and facets of their relationship
I don't even want to tell you how long it took to compile all these screenshots - and how I could have taken several more after all. However, my main intention was to give an overview of what their bond is all about in my opinion - and how much I love all these layers about them, as complementary and contradicting as they are.
When I'm asked to describe them with a trope, I usually go for "partners in crime", because they're constantly scheming, planning and supporting each other - but they can also be bickering dorks, who may catch the other off guard, tease or frustrate one another due to different priorities or misunderstandings.
I love that, despite their complementing roles as "brawns and brains", there are enough instances in which they're equally stupid and silly and, in opposition to the teasing and bickering part, completely on the same page and wavelength.
Yes, there may also be times when they don't agree with each other, call the other out, fight and argue beyond just casual bickering - but in the end, despite everything, they will always have each other's backs. They're incredibly loyal and observant, trust and rely on each other's skills and qualities... And may even confide in and open up to one another - or at least read the other person without many words needed.
Their bond may not always be at the forefront of the series, but all these little bits simply make their friendship endlessly special to me.
