#maybe it's a gay thing

Bonus:

Inspired by @bluedalahorse's tags on this post by @starvalisedham, I thought it would be fun to celebrate our favourite moments of non-sexual intimacy in the show. Platonic, familial, romantic but not sexual - please share your faves in text, image, or GIF form!

Here are some of mine!

- Of course I must start with this touching (pun intended) moment between Sara and Felice. It's the first of so many beautiful, intimate friend scenes between them and I love it so much!

- The girl group in general and Stella and Fredrika in particular are shown being very tactile with each other all through the show. This shot of Stedrika at movie night is just adorable and made all the sweeter by the absence of romantic hints at this point of the story.

- Speaking of adorable, this sibling hug between Simon and Sara (and the teasing that precedes it) is a huge favourite of mine! I wish my brother and I had retained this level of physical and emotional comfort with each other past childhood.

- Another fave is the shot of Nils and Vincent comforting August. It's not often we see such vulnerability and intimacy depicted between guys their age - especially guys who have embodied very harmful sides of masculinity at various points of the story. It gives me hope for their future growth!

- And because this wouldn't be a post by me without a Henry reference... I do love how comfortable he and Walter seem to be getting in each other's personal space. Whether you choose to read it as romantic or platonic, the meadow scene is a really good example of them living their own lives and having their own little moments of affectionate interaction in the background of the big drama!
