people will literally be like “um actually this isn’t queerbaiting--”
when the show you’re referencing literally has the characters you’re talking about kiss for absolutely NO heterosexual or platonic reason not once but twice (ok 1 of them had platonic reasons but the other 100000000% did not it was gay gay gay homosexual queer gay)
or when that show gives those two characters as much (almost more tbh) on-screen physical affection as the two main het characters, something that is extremely uncommon to see between two american males even in a platonic setting. especially a place that is supposed to be set in the south where homophobia is more rampant and even platonic affection would be discouraged in boys
or when that show has one of the two characters you’re referencing give one of the most emotional, heartfelt, loving speeches about the other character in a way that isn’t done for ANYONE else throughout the series, is almost uncharacteristically candid for him to say, and was all for the purpose of getting this girl to see him in that same way
or when that show has one of the male characters point-blank asking someone the specifics of how the other character of the same gender is in bed. not how the sex in general was. how he was
or when that show has these two characters hanging out by themselves for a rather long time at a massive group event that exists entirely to get drunk and hookup, so extremely separated from everyone else, not even LOOKING at the hundreds of hotties surrounding them because they’re too focused on each other
or when these two characters play wrestle, one of them shirtless, very giggly, with one stroking his hands down the other’s chest for a brief moment
or when these two characters just hang out by themselves despite having two other extremely close friends in the group and its rare we see these friends not all together (by choice, at least), apparently routinely enough one of the other friends knows exactly where to go to find them
or how the one character is so often blatantly looking at the other one’s lips when he talks, something he barely does with any other character
or when that show has one of the two characters in question constantly being almost overly protective of the other to the point of being willing to sacrifice his life, MULTIPLE times, more so than with other characters within the same friend group they are part of
or when, before you ever even fucking watch the show and have 0 context of who these characters are and are only seeing stills and gifs they read 100% queer by both queer and het ppl purely based on their interactions and chemistry together
or when one of them is still about as queer coded as can absolutely be even after watching the show and having context, in every single way except for him literally just outright saying he is
or the actor of that character being a very loud queer ally and has openly admitted his support for the gay ship and in fact said its even cuter than the het ship and he routinely adlibs many of the memorable lines regarding the other male character
and the likelihood of ANYTHING at all becoming of all of their extremely queer coded moments and interactions is so unlikely to happen because of Reasons that involve some rabid weirdo stans of other ships
why yes i am referring to obx and jjpope

Kikyo for character bingo!
AYYYE! A different fandom, thank you hon!
okay so I used to actively dislike Kikyo back in the day, now I just think it's cause I feel like she coulda been more :/ I like her in fics especially when she's allowed to be way more spiteful or vengeful tbh I like her in toxic ships with Naruku cause I'm a toxic girlypop at heart
I super appreciate you sending this in!! 🧡🧡🧡
