Can we talk about how parks and rec were so good at the friends to lovers trope
I’m binge watching for the first time in a bit and between April & Andy and Leslie & Ben they really killed it
Like first there’s April and Andy having their really sweet friendship turn into them crushing on each other in the sweet young love kind of way. Like the way he makes her so soft and she brings him back down to earth- they’re just being young and stupid but they’re figuring it all out together and they work so well 🥹
And then there’s Ben and Leslie’s dorky work spouses/flirty friends that aren’t allowed to date dynamic turning into them realizing they’re each others’ person and their work obsessed selves saying screw it let’s be together this is more important than work 🥺 Truly the epitome of best friends to lovers like those two were stuck together like glue for the whole third season I love them sm
James: I feel like you’re mad at me and I don’t know why so I made a list of everything I did today and I’m gonna try to never do any of them ever again
Something I love about parks & rec is that none of the wedding episodes start off as wedding episodes
Literally every wedding on this show is just two people who love each other deciding that they want to get married *right now* bc they can’t stand not being married to each other
They really know how to write a love story and it’s one of the many reasons I adore this show ❤️
