And heres why:
1.
Rue and Jules become friends and potential lovers right as Rue returns from rehab.

Rue constantly refers to Jules as the best thing that has happened to her in a really long time.
In addition to this, this isa lotof pressure to put on anything or any person.
To expect someone to be everything to you.

We dont even know if she even likes going to school.
We just know that she likes drugs…and Jules.
Which makes one want to look at Rues fascination and preoccupation with Jules as highly obsessive.

Or suspect that it at least has the potential tobecomeobsessive and, you guessed it, extremely addictive.
Which ironically leads us to the next point:

Where cinematography is concerned, almost all of the drug trip scenes inEuphoriahave a dreamy aspect to them.
Many of Jules and Rues scenes together reflect the same.
This has been the case for scenes where characters are high as a kite.
We dont know where there are or what time it is.
A number of Jules and Rues scenes share this dreamy aspect as well.
This first occurred in episode 2 right as they both agree to get high.
She calls out to her in a slowed-down voice, with glitter literally covering her entire face.
And they converse in equally slowed-down voices.
We dont know what time it is and we dont know where they are.
But despite that, we zoom in on Rues face.
She is at peace.
And she is also crying…glitter.
Another dreamy and reality-bending scene of theirs occurs in episode 4 when they kiss for the second time.
Right before, a montage of Rue and Jules hanging out together plays.
Per the mind-bending nature ofEuphoria, the scene isdizzyingand chronicles their short friendship by literally making the roomspin.
And that cant possibly be coincidental.
Of course, as a Rue/Jules shipper, this is obviously a devastating hypothetical.
