tbh queer romance is held to a much higher standard than het romance like a man can cry over another man, be close to another man, protect another man repeatedly, give up everything for another man, and there will still be people saying that a romantic interpretation is “completely baseless” and “it’s great that platonic love can be so strong” and “don’t erase friendship, i’d do all that for my friends!”

but then a man and a woman share a pencil and suddenly romance is alive

a gay couple: *exists*

t h o s e people: they’re just friends! clearly

a guy and a girl: *are actually just friends*

t h o s e people: you guys are dating, right? you’re clearly in love. ofc you’re dating, c’mon it’s so obvious lol
