i consider myself a bit of a connoisseur of besties-turned-lovers stories but one thing that has always bothered me a little is when the besties actually become lovers and then the relationship loses all bestie-itude LIKE correct me if im wrong but i feel like these things aren’t usually mutually exclusive... i see it more often with m/f besties but i see it with same gender, etc besties on occasion too and like. YES its realistic that friendships change their dynamics over time (even without turning into lovers) but i always see this thing where these two besties get together and then are immediately like “but i CANT dick around with my bestie anymore because theyre also my significant other” you could if you werent a coward. can’t u dick around with ur bestie romantically. can’t you dick around with ur partner bestie-ly. what am i not getting here

#and i mean maybe its because i do enjoy a m/f relationship often in a very bisexual and mildly genderly sort of way #that this character relationship development style is so like. alien and bizarre to me. what am i not understanding #had pacific rim on the mind and i was thinking about some m/f besties i like. mako and whats his nuts #(sorry i really like his character but i havent seen that movie in like 7 years orz)#i really adore their relationship as besties and also i do like the fun little flirty scenes they had a couple times in the movie too #thats a m/f bestie couple i quite like in like a romantic and platonic way folded over itself. if that makes sense #i think its very sweet and awesome. mako deserves a handsome bestie to flirt with. as a treat #thank god they never removed any bestieness from their relationship. even in the goofy flirty scenes they had they were still bestieing #thank u mr del toro #wait sorry now im thinking about mixed gender besties. i love mulder and scully of course we all do #and in the three seasons ive seen ive come to the conclusion i like them in the sense that like #theyre platonic theyre romantic theyre both theyre neither theyre something else entirely #but most importantly. theyre scully and mulder LOL #its a category in and of itself. a very interesting form of besties #oh and recently ive been rewatching elementary since i never saw the past the first season #that one as of the season ive seen i adore fully and completely platonically. oh these guys are very platonic besties #only sherlock story on earth where sherlock and watson are purely platonic LOL #god their relationship is great. oh speaking of platonic im still like fascinated with that one webcome i never finished. villainess no more #i think thats what it was called. someday i'll finish it. its fun and the romance is sweet but i still like.#kinda liked their relationship more when they were just besties at first sight. marriage of convenience turned platonic besties #probably not intentional from the author. sorry. im a sucker for romance so thats kinda new for me too #theres so many variety of bestie. so many layers. its a rich artform: the bestie
