So funny to watch movies as an aroace person. Like unless it’s extremely obvious, my assumption is everyone is just friends. Like queer coding goes over my head, I never catch it. I then go on Tumblr and see everyone explaining how CLEARLY these characters are more than friends and I’m just like oh. Huh. Cool I guess.
I’m like those historians reading letters between gay lovers and writing “and they were dear friends and roomates.”
#And we SHOULD make every character gay#It’s more fun and no one is wrong for head cannoning characters as queer#But it’s also so funny how much I miss#Most recent example is#Project Hail Mary#where the movie apparently teased a#Grace and stratt#Relationship/flirty dynamics#And my sister mentioned how that was a thing#And I just stared at her like “it was?? But it wasn’t in the book. Sounds fake but okay”#AND THEN#I watch#the nice guys 2016#And apparently even the director was like “yeah I purposefully made it homoerotic”#And I did not see that at all#I was like “wow what great friends”#Aroace#aro#ace#aromantic#asexual#arospec#acespec#queer coding
