i never realized cuneiform was made with the corner of a cuboid tool, i thought the wedge shapes were carved such that you would press straight down with the tool at a 90° angle to the clay

I'm not saying those two people in that piece of media shouldn't or couldn't be gay or in romantic love.

What I'm saying is, I think there needs to be more tenderness in friendships portrayed in media. Especially when both characters are men. I want men being tender with each other especially in platonic relationships. I have so many male friends who are so thoughtful and nice to each other and I rarely see that reflected in media.

Romantic relationships can be amazing. But the people that know me best and have known me the longest aren't the same people I'm romantic with and I don't want to be romantic with those people. Anyone I decide to be romantic with has DECADES of intimacy to catch up before they can start to compare with my friends.

What I think a lot of media portrays is that there is only one relationship that matters and it's the one with your lover and your friendships pale in comparison and I think some fans see what could be an amazing and deeply intimate friendship and automatically think they should be/are sleeping together.
