Ok while I've seen Sam and Paulina working out their differences through talking it out or saving-danny's-undead-butt in fanfiction, I've get to see them working out their differences through a hobby that imo I feel like they both enjoy:
Shopping. Maybe shopping for makeup?
Paulina canonically is a girly girl and loves Girly Hobbies™️ like shopping, doing her nails, makeup, etc. While Sam doesn't like shopping for the same clothes Paulina does, and she'd probably be against fast fashion and would stick to thrifting, she is a Goth Girlie™️ and is canonically pretty fashionable for a goth girl in the DP Universe. Also, Sam wears makeup too!
Anyway, I'd love to see a situation where they'd need to work out their differences via Girly™️ hobbies like fashion or makeup where at first they'd be sort of annoyed at each other, and then one of them picks up something and the other just can't help herself and would go, "NOPE put that down" *grabs something else* "THIS suits you SO MUCH BETTER" and it's actually something in the other person's style, and then slowly throughout the day they gain appreciation for each other's styles and start finding shopping with each other to be fun. And maybe then at the end of the day they go home and attempt to do each other's makeup and are all giggly about it.
....i just want my dp girlies to get along ok

People who really like shuake also seem to write themselves into a corner wrt Akechi and his relationship to Akiras team. Contrary to popular belief, the team, including Haru, does not hate Akechi. At worst, they tolerate him and deal with his attitude. Hes a good teammate and respectable fighter and the team recognizes that at the end of the day, he was a teenager who was manipulated and abused by a man who saw him as disposable. Just about every thief understands this intimately. They have the same mindset wrt adults who take advantage of the people beneath them. Under different circumstances they wouldve been friends. And if u approach it from that angle, it becomes less about Akechi being the sole person who ‘gets’ Akira, and more about the thieves being the only people in the world who ‘get’ Akechi.
When you expand your thoughts to include the thieves as members of his Team and not roadblocks that get in the way of your ideal shipping dynamic, you allow urself to give Akechi and Akira more depth and nuance to their own relationship.
Akira and Akechi are wildcards; both of them struggle with the face they choose to display to the world. Its the first time Akira interacts with someone who is, at a literal, technical level, his ‘equal’. But Akechi is one of many firsts for Akira yeah? Every thief has their bond with Akira thats completely unique and personal. Akechi will never be the person who witnesses Akiras Awakening, hes never the person who watches Akira have his restless nights alone in the attic, and hes never the person who realizes in real time that the teenager hes housing is just Some Kid, not the delinquent hes been warned about. Hes not Ann or Yusuke, or any of the thieves; he doesnt have the time or experience that they have with Akira, and I think its interesting to explore that part of their relationship, shippy or not.
Akechi is someone who is incredibly lonely and self depreciating despite his cockiness and attitude. He has no positive bonds to speak of save for his connection with Sae. To have him see a team that works together and cares for each other, how do you think he would feel? Out of place? Inferior in some way? Angry about how hes been alone for so long in this single minded quest for revenge? Wouldnt that be a point of struggle between the two of them? I think what makes shuake good for me is knowing that Akechi needs alot of time to heal, and the thieves would want to help with that process. They do it bc they care, bc Akira cares, and bc they trust Akiras opinion (and he trusts theirs in return); if Akira feels like Akechi is someone who can be trusted Now after everything thats happened, then the thieves would do their best to help. And how would Akechi feel about that? Angry about the show of pity? That even now, he has no real say in what happens to him? Or begrudgingly grateful that they are cordial with him? Because they do care, he KNOWS they care, they care TOO MUCH actually; but the one thing he values over brawn and wits is honesty- fighting for what you believe in without having to use soft words to justify it.

The Live Action versions of Sanji and Luffy need to kiss. Like what do you mean that wasn't romantic tension in that kitchen scene in the Baratie. They were totally flirting with each other. Chef x Foodie like come on. They are so cute together I swear. Like they would totally kiss in the kitchen area of the Going Merry after Sanji let Luffy try his new dish.

I will never understand how people will agknowledge just how jk rowling is as a human being, and still like Harry potter. You can't fucking "separate the art from the artist" when the 'art' is filled with antisemitism, racism transphobia and more! You can't even think about doing that when the 'artist' herself is a fucking HOLOCAUST DENIER.
(Also it's even more pathetic considering jk rowling is actually a shit writer. Like let's be honest, everything people love about Harry potter is from the movies. Every bit of personality Harry had was from his actors portrayal of him)
These people don't care that they're clinging onto the mediocre work of a holocaust denier that wishes death to trans people because they're too wrapped up in nostalgia or whatever. It's pathetic and honestly disgusting.
And it speaks volumes how pretty much all the people I see behaving this was are white
