OP
(Anonymous) 2015-03-05 04:50 am (UTC)(link)Also, I'm aware I included a lot of examples in this secret, which makes it seem like the friendship type I enjoy isn't very rare, but my main problem with this kind of friendship is I really want it to be the main focus of the story it's in.
No romance or other friendships/family relationships stealing the spotlight. (Ideally, no romance, period.) The older man and the younger girl are the MAIN characters, and their friendship with each other is one of the most important relationships in their lives (at least while the story is being told).
Also, the girl isn't completely infantilized and turned into a cute little plot device in order to serve as the man's catalyst for character development, but is instead treated as a dimensional character with her own story and goals. Their influence on each others' lives is mutual, not one-sided.
That's why the friendships in The Fall, The Book Thief, The Last of Us, The Man From Nowhere, and The Walking Dead Game are absolutely my favorite fictional relationships of all time. They are 100% my type.
I would have only included them as examples, but I do still enjoy the other forms of this friendship. I just wish that my "ideal" type would be easier to find.
