@menotyou yeah that's pretty much how I see it. I just see the characters and that's down to the actor so just like life, they could be paired with anyone as long as they can act out their scenes together affectively lol I often wonder how casting directors decide on pairing. Like, what are they looking for/at when the create a pairing?
I don't like overly masculine men in general lol out of the group, jay is the most masculine and I'm pretty sure my brain did that on purpose when I was journalling. Other than that no, I get intimated when I see overly manly characters. My sister loved Thor when it was all the rage and the look on her face when my reply was "eeek, no' lmao
