Oh my god just realized Antsy Bonano and Calvin Schwa were TOTALLY gay for each other
#i think they were also both genuinely into Lexi like. i like her a lot and I don’t want to dismiss her as a beard or a distraction or w/e#but…Calvin Schwa’s ability to hide in plain sight as a metaphor for queer desire…holy FUCK I think I’m onto something here#I’m due for a reread anyway I miss my little blorbo so much#i first read that book in like third grade and I have carried Antsy with me in my heart ever since#such a memorable little guy. a good boy.#i think about the scene where he realizes he’s the ‘paper clip’ holding his family together ALLLL the fucking time#and he finally realizes why Calvin is so fascinated by paper clips. yeah no one ever notices them but without them everything falls apart#no one thinks there’s anything special about them but we need them just the same
