poppy and ian's dynamic is so compelling, but not in an 'i ship them ' kind of way. they're coded romantically (always being compared to a couple going through a divorce, king and queen, paralleled to doc and beans + dana and rachel, both actual couples) but i also can't see them becoming a couple nor do i want them to. on one level i do think they're sort of soulmates, not in a 'fated to be together' way but more of a ' the way we developed as people throughout our respective childhoods, and then the way we grew together has resulted in us being the only two people who fully understand each other best and mean the most to one another' (the good place soulmates aren't found they're made etc). they're not in a romantic relationship but theyre clearly the most important person in the world to one another which is so refreshing in that it's so rare to see that outside of a romance. they're insane and they hurt each other all the time and yet they remain emotional core of the show. im sure there's some people who ship them but they're already so entertaining to watch have such a unique dynamic that i can't imagine wanting anything more out of their relationship than is already onscreen. i love them so much.
