Regardless if you are Team Ben or Team Paxton, I think we can all agree that Ben and Paxton friendship was the best thing of the season.

i think the reason Never Have I Ever feels so comforting is because of the way they portray teenage relationships, like yes you love multiple people at the same time, you develop intense crushes that last three weeks, you get on and off with people and there's always that one person you can never stop loving.

also, devi's relationship with her mom is so touching, they fight they yell and what not but in times of need they're always there for each other.

it's just so relatable i love it

The nhie poll you made was interesting because I have been most people over the age of 20 go towards Benvi while most people under 18 are more Daxton. I personally have been in a relationship (still am) so I would go towards the type of guy I can have common goals with and maybe because of my experience I always saw Paxton as the high school guy but never the long term gal. there’s a point in ur life where u care less about physical attributes and more about contributions long term.

thats so interesting because i have the exact opposite experience for both myself and from other people. my friends and i are over 20, have been in relationships, and we all rooted for daxton.

while i think having common goals is great to have in a partner, i dont think thats the only consideration for what will make a relationship work with someone better over another -- there also has to be respect, kindness, and trust there as bare minimums, which were qualities that devi got from her relationship with paxton (even if devi couldn't see that at the time), but not from ben, until MAYBE the finale, and even then im not sure if i would say really that, or say their getting together even felt earned from a writing perspective. i mean, ben and devi struggled to just properly communicate and become a real endgame until the very last episode of the show. to your point about long term contributions from a partner, i also think paxton and devi are different enough to contribute something to each other so they can each learn and grow as individuals (more on this later). for that reason, i actually saw ben as the high school guy but never the long term guy and paxton as vice versa, because having common goals isn't always enough long term if the foundation for a healthy romantic relationship isn't even there.

i also think its a big misconception i see, particularly on tumblr for some reason, where people assume that daxton shippers only ship them because of paxton/darren's looks, which isn't always the case - at least of me and my friends, it isn't, and i'd argue that's the case for a lot of daxton shippers on here too more often than benvi shippers might want to admit: devi and paxton push each other just enough in a way that enables them both to grow as people and thus better partners, whereas ben and devi bicker to the point where its more toxic than it is endearing, particularly ben's racially insensitive and body-shaming comments towards her that he's made throughout the whole show. paxton has always gone out of his way to show his support for her, even if that meant putting his reputation on the line, while ben always stayed on the sidelines -- too scared to stand up for devi -- until, again, the finale. and devi and paxton share more common ground just from the standpoint of both coming from Asian backgrounds, so they already have that understanding and acceptance of each other/each other's cultures in a way that's instantly recognized compared to someone not from the same ethnic background (see: paxton complimenting devi's sari in season 1, vs. ben pointing out devi's mustache in season 1). so i've always found ben and devi's romantic dynamic and the hints of it thereof very off-putting (but as friends, sure, they work).

in a similar line of thinking, i actually thought people in the 18-25+ ages would prefer daxton, since that age group might have more relationship experience just by virtue of growing up and meeting more people outside of high school, whereas those younger and who haven't experienced something like that might not yet see benvi's dynamic as something unhealthy/not worth rooting for yet. but because the leading age group demographics for both ships were split even in the poll, i guess we can all just agree to disagree.

#~~~typical disclaimer that this is all my opinion and coming out of my own experience~~~~#people have articulated and argued for why daxton works over benvi much better than i can explain here but i hope this all makes sense #it is perplexing to me why benvi appeals to so many on tumblr #like im genuinely curious why - other than them living the enemies to lovers trope and being obsessed with school what else is there?#i wonder if it is because so many people assume people like daxton because of paxton's looks too or maybe its something else?#nhie #never have i ever #ben gross #paxton hall yoshida #devi vishwakumar #darren barnet #maitreyi ramakrishnan #jaren lewison #asks #benvi #daxton #team ben #team paxton

Can we please finally let them watch Finding Nemo next season? I swear I've been waiting for this since the first season. I love how she talks about it and Ben looks at her and genuinely laughs like he likes it and I feel like he imagined it for a second.

My favourite moment from season three of Never Have I Ever is when the camera panned in on Ben as John McEnroe narrated the words "She knew she'd be okay. She would find love again."

#he should have said she would find love but let's not dwell on the details #team ben #ben x devi #never have i ever #never have i ever spoilers
