Suggestions for Nobody Wants This (don't know the show):
- Understanding Boyfriend, also Sexy Priest is mentioned on the work page
- Satellite Love Interest
- Author's Saving Throw, Early-Installment Weirdness
- Meta example of Forbidden Love?
- Fake-Out Make-Out or Fake Relationship, Ship Tease
- There's Gender-Blender Name but it doesn't carry the connotation of them being The Un-Favourite

- impossibly perfect boyfriend for noah? i couldn't find anyhing resembling a perfect boyfriend from a scan of the love interests page.
- Rebecca wants so bad to be "rabbi's wife" that the character never thinks of her own identity in a relationship. is that satelliteloveinterest?
- the critics complained that the women were too harpy and naggy, so i think a case can be made that Esther got flanderized in season 2. is this author's saving throw? it's clear that they responded to feedback and made Esther go through some changes to reflect that criticism
- What do you call the feeling by season 1's finale that Morgan and Sasha firmly can't be without upsetting several values of the audience about infidelity and the value of Sasha's marriage to Ester? It felt like a very values-enforced safeguard to keeping them platonic besties. I'm not saying that's not the same in S2, but for a while the show veered that way, and that's worth calling a trope
- in one scene Morgan and Sasha are posing as a couple or acting like it at an apple store. i wonder if that's some sort of nod to fan shipping, even though they're not an actual couple in that scene. it enables the fans to see them act as a couple which fulfills some sort of desire by the shippers. what's that called?
- Morgan is more of a boy's name and Sasha iss more of a girl's name. would this be some sort of symbolism that they were both carelessly named and the lesser sibling? symbolic names trope or under fridge?
