All these variations of different tropes out here..
but my favorite trope is always person A adores person B, while person B adores A too but is either too scared to confront it, too lost in life to know what it means, or in denial.
genuinely sorry for people who have never watched young royals, never read aristotle and dante discover the secrets of the world, and never shipped stenbrough. but also incredibly relieved for you guys <33333
props to my (private anglican) school library for having 5/11 of the couples on their 'dreaming of love' installation be same-sex.
it's a collection of fanart of romantic couples from various pieces of fiction, and they had Evelyn and Celia from The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Aristotle and Dante from Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, Nick and Charlie from Heartstopper, Achilles and Patroclus from The Song of Achilles + one i didn't recognise <3
(the het couples were Elizabeth and Mr Darcy from Pride and Prejudice, Hazel and Augustus from The Fault in Our Stars and 4 other het couples who i didn't know)
