Eleanor & Chidi: A Love Story | The Good Place

[@hilaldogan1071]

The fact that they found their true love AFTER they die still gives me hope lol

[@trinaq]

Likewise, it also showed Eleanor's growth that she initially doesn't want Chidi to go through the door, and when he offers to stay for her sake, she realizes that she can't ask him to do that, and willingly lets him go.

I love how they paired them together right at the beginning and we all thought "Wow, these two don't make sense at all" and it only took them a season or two to make us all rooting for them. One of the best couples on TV ever. I love how they both grew thanks to each other.

[@trinaq]

Agreed, they seem so comically mismatched at first, and the least unlikely to EVER be soulmates. But Eleanor and Chidi bring out the best in each other, and push the other to become a better person.

[@jennysanh4842]

Seriously tho!! Lol I really wasn’t expecting to love them together. I remember watching the first few episodes and was like what they’re soul mates??! But now they’re all I see 🥺😢😢😢

I didn’t get Eleanor’s thing for mailmen until I saw Chidi in the outfit

[@crowskinned]

the thing that truly gets me is that when Chidi's memories were restored, all of the moments that flashed past us and signified his strongest memories, were of moments where Eleanor was looking at him and smiling. Even when he got rebooted and had no memory of Eleanor the thing is how a part of him still stayed grounded in her presence. It strengthens what Michael said to Chidi: If there's anything to say about soulmates, it is that they are made.

[@bemasaberwyn55]

@@peachy-wd6ci my understanding is that all his life he is looking to find the answer to what is the truth about the universe and about philosophy and morals and all that. By the point he writes that he is saying there is no "answer" to all of those big things but elenor is the answer . Elenor is the one who gets his to relax and shows him there's more to life than these big abstract concepts and she is what helps him become happier. She is the answer to what matters in the universe. And he knows what he wrote but he also wants to read it because if you remember there's a clip where in one of the reboots he got a goth soul mate. They were playing charades and Eleanor became his partner and hes pretty sure they won because she was reading off the piece of papers from the reflection is his glasses. So even though he remembers what he wrote he read it again in front of her so she could read it too, from the reflection of his glasses.

[@kirstenjaqua8216]

That actually made some sense to me. Chidi was always closer to peace than Eleanor. It was heartbreakingly sweet, watching them part ways. I think Eleanor needed to find her peace separately before she was ever going to be ready to cross, but Chidi was able to find it only with Eleanor in his life.

[@radmoonable]

I think that was a perfect decision. It shows that it relationships sometimes you have to give each other space to grow on their own. Chidi had already achieved his peace. Eleanor needed more time. Sometimes that's life and it's OK.
