the popularity of old man yaoi waxes and wanes in fandom, and you can mark the tides pretty clearly on ao3 sometimes. for example, the first work in the inheritance cycle's brom/jeod tag was posted in 2024

something about kian and rand is so fucking compelling. like dgmw they're both also obsessed with rolan in equally painful ways, but them. god. they're best friends. they're terrifying, perfect mirrors of each other. they have the unshakeable stoner's bond. they can't stand each other. they're exactly the same. they're total opposites. they hate each other's choices in life. they hate their own choices more. they desperately envy each other. they lie, they lie all the time, about everything. they admire each other's honesty. they're literally chillin. they feel everything so intensely they'd explode if they tried to verbalize it. they've never been in love with anyone, least of all each other. they're best fucking friends and they love each other so much it'll kill them. they shared a childhood. they don't really care anymore. they wish that they could care. they touch so easily. they can't talk about it.

tried to skip to the end of the dustchart slowburn tonight and it did NOT work. those fools would rather sit really close and think really hard about kissing and know that they're both thinking it and still refrain. just to spite me. it's like they know i'm watching them and they don't want to give me the satisfaction i swear to god
