No one has manic pixie dream girled in the way that she did
Okay so like I had a thought of like professional and platonic connection that really lends itself to devotion, both couples sort of have this thing where they match each other on a frequency that no one else in the world does. And there's the power dynamics of it all. Within sydcarmy, though they are technically partners, Carmy is still her boss and is at this point classified as a famous chef, while she's sort of an up-and-coming ingenue. And he continually says over and over that he'll listen to her and then he doesn't. But he still needs her desperately. It's the same thing with joshdonna, Josh has always been donnas boss, despite how much their professional relationship is more like a partnership than anything, she is still his assistant. And Josh is the deputy fucking chief of staff, he's a political mastermind, and again she's an aspiring political operative with half a college degree. And she asks for progression in her career and doesn't get it. But Josh still needs her deeply and desperately. And then there's the parallels between the industries they work in. Both of which are time consuming and mentally taxing and are all about "serving the people" And narratively there's a similarity, as there's a point of breaking for both guys, and then there's a point where both girls get fed up and then there's a divorce era. Also both boys have dead siblings and a found Family.
joshdonna and sydcarmy are incredibly similar and parallel and I would like to talk more about it but idk if anyone cares
