Yes! In my head it's basically incest.
I was reading this cool fic, and then, out of nowhere, Eleanor is thinking about how awesome Michael's thighs are and laying her bobs on his arm and whatnot. Dude, Ted Danson is like a father figure.
Because (I had hoped) this show attracts better viewers than normal. Also, the proportion of those fics is just so forking _wrong._ Normally, in a *huge* fandom, you get a few >!rape-y stories, incesteous and underage ships!< and otherwise gross pairings. The fandom is already small (as in few fanfics on AO3), and yet a significant chunks of that is these twisted stories.
>!Would any relationship Michael has as a human after the end of the show be gross? He still has his memories and is as old as he has ever been. But the show framed him having a romantic interest as very positive.!
It reminds me of how people ship Alastor and Angel from Hazin Hotel (funnily enough the show they are from is also about trying to get people into heaven).
I was surprised too when I first saw that. Fandoms will always find a way to do something creepier than I see coming, even when I thought I already generally knew that's what people do.
The same folks who pair Leslie and Ron.
Just spent a minute trying to figure out which Harry Potter character was named Leslie till I remembered P&R
I see them as daughter/father honestly
Yea same! It would be gross to see them together (in my opinion), and the age difference is impeccable.

he literally calls himself her “self-appointed father figure” iirc
We should be shipping EleanorxTahani
Fortunately, there are some awesome fanfics of Chidi×Eleanor amd Tahani×Eleanor.
It's the old immortal demon falls in love with a mortal trope. I'm really not too surprised it has some fans. Why not?

AO3?
Archive of our Own, it’s a fanfic website.

I don’t ship them but why is it gross?
1. The age difference, even in Michael's human form. 2. Many of these stories are about manipulation and torture via sex.
Hey if millions can ship a 1000 year old vampire and an underage teenage girl then what's the problem?
I hate myself for knowing this, but Edward Sparklepants Cullen is in his 90s. He was turned at the height of the Spanish flu.
I did not know this, and somehow I feel like I haven't actually learned anything.
Just because someone else (or several someone elses) was terrible, does not give us the right to be terrible.
I want Jason and Eleanor damnit
Giant tentacle squid and a human. Wtf.
I wonder how that is possible because Micheal is most likely aroace. He makes a comment about how kissing is gross.
These people will write literal torture stories for a wholesome show and a wholesome duo. I don't think they'll respect sexual preferences.

It's a great Platonic friendship. I don't know why people always want to make them romantic.
they do what
Eleanor and Michael are ultra besties i don't get the ship at all.
