Sammy x Yaz + Ben trio is so dear to me
To clarify no Ben is not romantically involved whatsoever. No, it’s not queer platonic either. However. As a fellow guy who is also fundamentally built into their sapphic friend’s couple dynamic as a third wheel. In the kindest way possible:
This relationship is a goddamn tricycle.
Ben helped get them together, they drag him around everywhere to third wheel, Sammy uses him to test run date locations before she actually takes Yaz there, Yaz goes to him for advice (especially when it comes to getting gifts for Sammy), when they’re too tired read: burntout workaholics to come up with plans they make him do it, Ben’s the one taking half their cute couple photos-
I could go on! Half of this is shown in canon! All of this is lived experience! Actually hold on I have one more let me just edit-
Here: LONG DISTANCE THIRD WHEELING
Now. This isn’t to say they’re dependent on him in any way. Yaz and Sammy are competent and dating each other for a reason. The key is that they CHOOSE to have him there.
