Maybe I'm naive but I'd like to think boys with the guts to go fight the intergalactic emperor or whatever the scariest thing is in comics these days, just because they can, aren't afraid to be affectionate with their bro in armoured tights, on occasion
Now I'm not immune to the pining and yearning trope, for sure
But I think once in a blue moon there should be a universe where they're playing reverse gay chicken, as in whoever backs off because perceived to be gay isn't dudebro enough in the eyes of regular bigoted folk, loses
The essence of teen heroes should be scaring the bejeezus out of the older generation and their opinions on what a good life looks like
Coffeeshop au and hallmark movie universe wouldn't be so on he nose, if they weren't trying to emulate the Norman Rockwell rendition of romcom cute couples
Clicking my teeth. I need more annoying gay boys. If I'm reading about teen boys they should be mentally invincible. Especially when in love.
