Person online: I don’t ship Bob and Yelena together.
Me: That’s okay.
Person: Yeah I see them as only friends verging on siblings.
Me: Hey to each their own. You do you my dude.
Person: And when you think about it, Bob is depressed or like schizophrenic or whatever. He’s sort of mentally defective so Yelena would just have to be his caretaker/mother figure. She deserves to be with someone mature enough to have fun with her and who can understand her.
Me:
“Boblena is so sibling coded. You can’t ship them, it’s gross.“
Bucky and Steve actually grew up closely with each other. They canonically made pillow forts together. Bucky was very protective of the smaller Steve. They are very snarky yet loving of each other, which is common in many brotherly relationships
So why is Stucky not considered “sibling coded”?
Me: Hey, I had a pretty shitty day. I think I’ll check out the Boblena tag on tumblr, to cheer myself up.
Random people in the Boblena tag: Oh my god! I love their totally sibling relationship!
Me: Okay. That’s the tag for the romantic relationship but maybe it’s just a mix up. I’m gonna go on the Yelena/Bob tag on Ao3.
Writer on Ao3: I know I tagged this as Yelena/Bob but that’s because they are just such good friends in this and are actually in romantic relationships with other characters.
Me: Well that’s not what that tag system is for, but sure….I guess I’ll just go watch some TikTok’s under the Boblena hashtag
TikTok video caption: Look at these two great friends! I love their friendship! #boblena
Comment 1: Oh my god, look at my favorite siblings. I sure love their sibling relationship. Can’t wait to see these siblings in Doomsday.
Comment 2: yeah #boblena they are just the bestest most platonic-est friends ever put to film.
Literally any time I try to cultivate the algorithm on any of my social media accounts to show me more stuff about Boblena, it basically goes like this
Somebody online: You can’t ship Yelena and Bob because Yelena is aroace.
Me *as someone on the aroace spectrum*
I don’t particularly want this to happen because I’d hate to miss the moment where they confess their feelings for each other .
But I think the funniest thing they could do in Doomsday is just have Bob and Yelena already in an established relationship.
Just a random scene where they kiss or say I love you like it’s the most casual everyday thing for them.
Maybe I’m just extremely petty but I think it would make the antis heads explode in the most hilarious of ways.
Call me the most basic ass Ace but I prefer my Boblena smut to be soft and fluffy verging on vanilla
Just two people with immense trauma finding someone who is gentle and understanding with them. That’s my shit.
