Unintentional Sexual Tension in Fiction

Sometimes I'm watching 2 characters interact on a show and I get the sense that they want to bone, but I also know that the writers 100% do not want to convey this.

Number one example is Jon and Sansa in Game of Thrones, but there are others. Like in Whiplash, Miles Teller and JK Simmons' characters.

Sansa / Jon thing....i don't see it.

Do you have a sister?

There Will Be Blood was really an unrequited story between DDL's and Paul Dano's characters.

a lot of my threads involve me fucking up somehow. Perhaps I'm a moron?
Frodo and Sam in the Lotr movie trilogy.

Honestly, I say this without trying to be edgy or whatever, but I cannot watch the Sam Frodo scenes without cringing, laughing, or turning away from the screen.

They're SO over the top it gets ridiculous. Like fuck and get it over with fellahs.

I...don't see that

It got really awkward with Harry and Hermione in a few of the HP movies. It definitely would have been unintentional in the books, but it's unclear whether or not that was the case in the movies due to bad directing

Frodo and Sam in the Lotr movie trilogy.

they were boning

There was a Disney show that got cancelled because the leads had too much sexual tension, and they were supposed to be playing siblings. Can't remember the name.

EDIT: Life With Derek. That's it.

Also the Folger's commercial.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I expected Bill the pony to be mentioned before Frodo/Sam.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"

That's not anything they're doing. It's because the actors are super hot so of course you're naturally going to ship them.

I thought you were talking about Wizards of Waverly Place before the edit.

Buffy and Faith definitely had some sexual tension

Fun fact, Joss Whedon claimed that this was 100% unintentional and that people who were seeing it were just being pervs. Then he looked back and realized "Oh damn, there it is."

Watch the first season of Beverly Hills, 90210 and tell me you don't see Shannen Doherty eye-fuck Brandon Priestly every single time they have a scene together.

They were fraternal twins on that show.
