Lena Dunham and Jemima Kirke’s friendship is one we could only wish for. Of course they both starred together in Girls, but the artsy pair have actually known each other since they were kids. Both working as artists and actors, their friendship runs deep, supporting each other through the good times and the hard times, and always serving us insane levels of friendship goals. So, without further ado, here are their cutest virtual displays of affection.

Who needs a make-up-artist when you have a best friend? Your besties will always be there for you. That means getting ready with you, in your underwear and putting lippy on for you so that you look perrrrfect.

Work on Lena’s first film Tiny Furniture started 10 years ago (!!!). And guess who had a role? Jemima, of course! This cute montage shows the pair hugging, dancing and joking together. Lena’s caption even explains how her artist dad Carroll Dunham cried on the set of Girls because he was so proud that her and Jemima’s friendship had lasted so long. And to quote Lena: “Here she is, Jemima. I’d call her my muse, but muses are passive. She’s more like my engine.”
