one of my biggest pet peeves is when people slap a sibling label onto characters as a way to shutdown romantic interpretations like just say you think they’re friends! siblings have a very specific dynamic in fiction! not every close relationship is sibling-coded!

#makes me wince every time #because they’re not really saying it because they think they’re siblings #which is CRAZY to me because siblings have a specific aura that’s difficult to explain #like these are characters who originate from the same place but turn out different anyway #they show different facets of a shared family or culture #and have different experiences of the same thing #they know each other so well and don’t understand each other at all and it’s sickening #you love them to death #you hate them to death #friendships are totally different #maybe these people don’t have siblings #see I have six older siblings this is why I feel passionately about this #ALSO the fact that people will do it because they lowkey don’t agree with queer readings of a character #*cough* jayvik *cough*#like if you’re gonna argue against romantic readings at least review your argument properly #because sibling dynamics are not that common #or synonymous with platonic friendship LMAO #we’re not friends we’re sisters #something like that #ANYWAY #ghost speaks #tropes
