Also, all of the Bad Place demons singing the Kars for Kids theme was hilarious, especially Shawn.

...

Is.

Is that an actual thing?

I thought they were just singing a wacky tune about an outrageously and hilariously bad idea. "Cars for Kids!"

I think the only reason I knew about it beforehand was because John Oliver brought it up on one of his segments, don't remember which though.

They were so preoccupied with whether they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.

So, what do you think about the whole Chidi/Eleanor ship? Do you guys ship them or not?

Honestly? I'm kinda indifferent? It feels like I'm supposed to want them together more than I actually do, if that makes sense. As in, I'm not nearly as invested in their relationship as the show wants me to be. And lots of people do seem to be that invested, so I don't think it's a show-writing problem. I think it's just a me problem. (shrug) Which is fine, it hasn't interfered with my enjoyment of the show much, apart from the season 3 finale, I guess, cuz the emotional stakes of Chidi forgetting his relationship with Eleanor just didn't affect me enough. (It also didn't really help that another show I watch did something similar with a relationship I care much more about earlier that week. Though the timing of both those episodes amused the heck out of me, I have to say!)

When we're done, there won't be anything left.

I like Eleanor/Chidi a lot but I feel sad for all the Eleanor/Tahani fans who really want their ship to be canon XD; According to the podcasts and interviews the writers pushed the E/C ship harder once they realized where they were going to end S3 on, that they hadn't really done a traditional love story, and that Eleanor and Chidi balance each other out.

I like the relationship between Eleanor and Chidi because the characters bounce off of each other really well. I don't particularly care if it's romantic or platonic; I just like the interactions they have.

I really wish we could have seen the Reset where Tahani was Eleanor's soulmate, though. That sounds like a recipe for pure, unbridled hilarity.

So, I'm having trouble keeping track of characters with all the resets to I'm actually thinking of making a sandbox (if not Characters/) page tracking characters as they were for various resets. I'm thinking the following folders:

  • First Neighborhood
  • Second reboot
  • Reboots 3-801
  • Team Cockroach
  • Soul Squad

This is mostly for my own benefit because I keep forgetting who should know what and wind up getting caught flatfooted or confused because of Audience Awareness Advantage and not realizing this version of the character doesn't know what a different version knew.

Would people find that useful/be willing to contribute?

[up][up] Not only would Eleanor and Tahani as soulmates be fantastic, but if Michael has any sense of symmetry, he'd have also made Chidi and Jason soulmates, which . . . [lol]

Oh man. Chidi would probably get on great with the silent Jianyu. But Jason would be miserable.

I imagine things probably went off the rails pretty fast in that one, though. Eleanor always confides the truth in her soulmate. I can totally see Tahani marching into Michael's office like, "Michael, I wish to speak with your manager! I have received a defective soulmate. Where do I go to issue a formal complaint?"

I would love to see the reboot with Eleanor and Tahani as soulmates, and if that same reboot had Chidi and Jason as soulmates too... The hilarity would be off the charts! Chidi would love "Jianyu"... Until "Jianyu" opens his mouth. [lol]

[up] Oh my gosh, Tahani so would.

[up][up] Though I can see Chidi torturing himself, first because he's disappointed his soulmate isn't a woman, then getting wrapped up in an ethical clusterfork over whether he's homophobic for thinking that.

But, yes, I expect that iteration ended in exactly that fashion.

Yes. I personally ship Chidi/Eleanor, but I'd love to find out about that reboot.

Honestly, I kind of want the Chidi/Eleanor/Tahani OT3 to happen at the end of the show. They're both good ships.

I ship almost everything and every combination is interesting, but I'm not very invested in Eleanor/Chidi either. They're cute together, but I think I might have preferred Simone/Chidi (as brief as it was).

I'd love some Eleanor/Tahani though. I enjoy Eleanor's comments about Tahani's hotness. It's both hilarious and heart-warming in a way.

However, my number one ship is this-neighbourhood's-Janet/Jason. These two I really want together for all eternity and in every reboot.

#619: Oct 2nd 2019 at 2:26:42 PM

Yes, Chidi/Simone was a good ship while it lasted. I can agree with you on that.

Simone wreaking havoc on the neighborhood because she thinks that it isn't real will cause problems in the long run, though.

Eleanor/Chidi is good, but it's not really a romance that makes me crave more content, official or fan-made.

tbh I haven't really though much about shipping anyone in the Soul Squad because their friendships are good

Nightbreeze Since: Oct, 2018 Relationship Status: I <3 love!
#621: Oct 2nd 2019 at 2:35:22 PM

Yes, I love their friendship. Specifically Chidi and Jason's friendship, and Janet and Tahani's. I really hope to see both of them in the fourth season.

I could honestly be satisfied if the show ends with any possible combination of Official Couple, a poly solution, or no Official Couple at all.

[up][up][up] Same here. I care much more about the friendships in Team Cockroach. They're a found family and it's great! grin

[up] One of my friends ships the entirety of Team Cockroach except for Michael in one poly quintet, which isn't something I'd seen before but I'd be chill with.

I should point out that Kars for Kids resells donated cars for charity, and does not, as far as I'm aware, let children own and operate motor vehicles.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.
