had a very funny experience where someone rb'd a vaguely ship flavored post of mine with smth like "i love a good bromance" and because i get unjustifiably defensive every time someone uses that term (and also bc i like doing this sometimes) i went to their blog to like snoop around a bit and below a couple of posts of calling them bromanced up in the tags there's fanart of them kissing with tongue and i had to pause bc like. shit my bad there cowboy you're not in homophobic denial you do just genuinely love a good bromance

#am i explaining this right?? new type of person unlocked. to me #i say this as someone who does in fact enjoy a good bromance it's just that my experience with the term itself is like.. only people going #onto content thats explicitly gay (sometimes for explicitly gay people/pairings) (including shit like irl wedding photos)#and claiming they're just good buddies as a dig at noncanonicity or their relationship's illegitimacy #anyway there isn't anything wrong w the term it just raises ny hackles for no reason. hope thats clear 👍#anyway that was really funny. it literally operated in the rule of threes as well like djgsjshsf #and i will say that the two posts in question were not like. explicitly shippy and more implied/directed at the audience who thinks they #wanna kiss. and tbh if you enjoy a pair but don't ship them sometimes the right move is just to go thru the ship tag #like your options are limited bc fandom is really really allocentric but we all know that atp #ANYWAY. really funny to me o7 keep it up stranger. bromance 4ever #not sure if i made my feelings on the term clear but it's like my reaction to 'soul sisters' or similar #like technically there's nothing wrong w it as a term but for some reason i only ever see it come up to delegitimize #a canonically/irl gay couple (ry.umako discourse has broken me but I've seen this w love letters and wedding photos too)#scheduling this for a random time in the future bc i feel bad vagueposting :p #anyway bromance is in fact a fun and good term to describe that borderline kind of intense friendship. i have changed i have grown
