Boris and Theo not getting married at the end of the book/movie feels like a hate crime

Also I just want to bring to the attention of you movie watchers (I’ve only watched the movie but I’ve done some intensive research (just a simple search on TikTok) and am going to buy the book soon) that in the book when Theo and Boris were teenagers they did canonically do it in the book multiple times but only when they were extremely drunk/high and Boris also said that Theo was the only man he ever slept with, specifically a small highlight (there’s much more to this page but I don’t wanna write it all out unless someone wants to see. T: “There had also been other way more confusing and fucked up nights. Grappling around half dressed, weak light sliding in through the bathroom and everything haloed and unstable without my glasses. Hands on eachother, rough and fast, kicked over beers foaming on the carpet, fun and not a big deal when it was actually happening.. more than worth it for the sharp gasp when my eyes rolled back and I forgot about everything.”. We were actually gonna see this in the movie but Finn wolfhard declined but surprisingly Oakes (Theo’s actor) was completely ok with filming this scene. I don’t necessarily think they were ‘in love’, maybe when they were teenagers but at least not in their adult years after they found each other again so I think the marriage thing was highly unlikely either way but whatever.

@mustbepeachy I think you’d wanna see this if you didn’t know this already

Edit: also I think the part of them cuddling in the page is super cute and Boris canonically gave anything Theo wanted to him, even stealing his dad’s golden lighter Theo had been eyeing and putting it in the front pocket of his backpack. (On the previous page). And it’s also mentioned (albeit probably platonically) that Theo loved Boris. Here’s the page where all the stealing lighters and beer spilling happens.

"I froze, as I heard him shout it again. Then, in disbelief, I turned. And while I still stood unable to believe it, people streaming round us on either side, he laughed and barged forward to throw his arms around me."

They are so toxic yaoi

[precalamity]

donna tartt is really good at writing books that make you think “oh, these characters GOTTA have gay sex” only for you to find out that they’ve been having gay sex the WHOLE TIME and it certainly hasn’t helped
