I’ve had this on my mind for a while, so I’ll just get straight to the point:

What ever happened to best friends in fiction??

I’m not talking about the always teasing each other and giving each other a hard time, even though we’re pretty close. I’m talking the I love you so deeply, and I’m not afraid to say so, because honestly I would die for you.

I’m talking about the David and Jonathans, Frodo and Sams, Anne and Dianas, maybe even Steve and Bucky kind of relationships. Maybe I’m just not reading the right books, but I feel like those kind of relationships are extremely rare in fiction now days… I don’t know, I could be wrong.

But I’ve just been wondering, are people afraid to portray, or even be in those kind of relationships because they can be seen as weird or even gay? Because I know a lot of people can see them that way, but it just seems wrong to me to shy away from portraying them because of that.

Also, what about the best male/female friends who really love each other but not romantically?

I just feel like this is something that we should talk about and discuss… What are your thoughts??

I’m afraid I’m not active enough on this site to know is still active or who I should tag 😬, but if you stumble across this thread, even if I’ve never met you before, I would LOVE to hear your thoughts!
