So, a couple years ago I made lists of screen crushes growing up and as a teenager. And last year I made a list of my favorite couples from TV, since the format lends itself better to studying characters and relationships.
Natalie Portman
Why? She's pretty in an everyday sort of way, and in interviews she's very down-to-earth, and on Saturday Night Live she can make fun of herself easily.
Gwen Stacy - The Amazing Spider-Man
Why? Gwen is smart, resourceful, and a bit of a dork.
Hollie Cavanagh - American Idol season 11
Why? This girl could sing. And she was pretty in a Natalie Portman type of way. And the way her accent would shift in midsentence from Texas drawl to classy British and back was hysterical.
McKayla Maroney
Why? She was focused. And extremely graceful on the vault.
Hilary Duff
Why? Her characters are down-to-earth, quick-witted, smart and independent. Who knows why screen crushes happen?
Skye - Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 1-2
Why? She wears her heart on her sleeve (and her face). Fiercely loyal and protective of her friends, prone to making horrible life decisions, and she has an awful track record when it comes to relationships.
Taylor Swift
Why? She's an amazing storyteller with a mischievous personality.
Jemma Simmons - Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. seasons 2-3
Why? She's brilliant, funny, kind and pretty. Why not in S4? Because she and Fitz make such an amazing couple.
Avril Lavigne
Why? Her lyrics are honest, straightforward and thoughtfully arranged.
April Ludgate - Parks and Recreation
Why? Sarcastic, intensely loyal, and with a kind heart hiding behind her growls, April is amazing.
Ann Perkins - Parks and Recreation
Why? She's grounded and realistic, but ready to go on adventures at any moment.
Daisy Johnson - Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season 4
Why? S4 Daisy has a lot of Skye in her, especially early in the season.
Aly Raisman
Why? She was always encouraging her teammates on, and very articulate in interviews.
Madison Kocian
Why? She seemed like a normal girl who just happened to be an Olympic gymnast. And she was so graceful on the uneven bars.
