anon doesn't express themselves well and hopes they are doing this right

[(Anonymous)]

I definitely see where you're coming from, OP. I am not a shipper by vocation - that is, I don't care for the "romantic" aspect of relationships - but I love loyal, BFF-type bonds between characters. Especially (man-)hugging! Personally, I've always found reading mushy, romantic, messily physical interactions between characters (kissing, sex) to be incredibly off-putting, regardless of things like gender or age, but hugs give me the warm fuzzies like nobody's business.

Part of me wishes more fiction culminated in adorable hugs: everything in general, not only slash. To me, they feel more meaningful than those aforementioned "messy physical interactions" because, I don't know, cozying in close with a person seems like a more open, vulnerable gesture for some reason I can't even begin to explain. My crazy anon-logic. Anyway. I don't think you're alone, OP!

I like kissing scenes and understated romance if they're done nicely, but apart from that IA so hard. I don't like lots of emotion UNLESS it's the climax of the whole thing, after lots and lots of repression, and I LOVE BFFness.

Re: anon doesn't express themselves well and hopes they are doing this right

Yes, exactly like that! Kissing and such is okay if it's downplayed and understated, but it's those rare, open and all-the-more-poignant-for-their-scarceness BFF moments that I hands down adore the most. Save the emotion for when it counts! Thanks for putting it a lot better than me :D

Re: anon doesn't express themselves well and hopes they are doing this right

yeah, I feel like it kinda cheapens the moment when there's so much emotion all the time that you're drowning in it. It takes away the impact of the big scene. I happen to believe that friendship is just as important as romance and even that your BFF can be your most important relationship in life (sometimes), so I love it when a really close and totally nonsexual friendship is treated as seriously as romance usually is. Sex and sexual attraction aren't the only things that makes a relationship special!
