I figured Alex would be the type. I was gonna type something about how Alex would probably just hiss and growl at anyone who tries to set Sunny up like that's my job and I'm not doing it deliberately because fuCK THAT [i]I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO DESERVES THIS GAY BOY'S ATTENTION[/i]

But also the second part. Sunny would more than likely warn them about Alex's rigorous standards for him and then immediately introduce him because it's inevitable. It's gonna happen anyway. There's no use in fighting it.

Like Douglas Adams once said, "Resistance is useless!"

Sunny and Holden could never live up to society's definition of GBF. They're too atypical of the usual gay stereotype and that's deliberate on my part. For the usual reasons a real life gay boy has concerning projecting his own desires and dislikes into his work. >_> <_<

[hider=this is me talking about one thing and then suddenly moving on to ranting about another thing haha](note: i'm not talking about anyone's character, at all, in this rant. i'm just talking about the term GBF and its connotations toward stereotypical homosexaulity, i.e. [url=https://media.giphy.com/media/NudlVy6NXsXVm/giphy.gif]Laganja Estranja[/url]... or is that e.g.?)

i'm just not a fan of playing the homosexual stereotype because it often perpetuates that that's the only thing that matters about the character, which, for character development, I think is actually a good choice. Going with stereotypes, that is, because then you have a foundation for which to build your character up and expand them from simply being a stereotype to being a three-dimensional person. That aside, no matter what you do, when making a character or a story you're [b]always[/b] going to be following some kind of archetype or some kind of trope without ever consciously making that decision. Or at least, not knowing that the decision to go a certain direction is just using a specific trope or character/story type (it seems so degrading to think about it that way and generalizing; but, in my personal opinion, it's not because these things are what can make a story fucking fantastic. when you get out of the mindset that these things are boxes you put yourself in and instead are actually tools to enhance your writing, the quicker you'll learn that tropes, archetypes, and to some extent stereotypes can be the best thing you can ever put into your story and that being "[i]Original[/i]" can be one of the most detrimental things to both plot and character). That's a whole can of worms, though, because then there's the discussion of using them well to and in combinations that make your story original to you. And I'm getting on a tangent. It's why I slashed and subbed this. Haha.[/hider]

Wow.

That's me getting carried away. It was originally in a slash but i decided, fuck it, i'm putting it in a hider because that's irritating on the eyes.

Holden will hate Lela so much. So, so, so much. But, only at first and only because he thinks it's none of her business. He'll come around, though, definitely, and appreciate her trying, at least. Even if he tends to consider help as an affront to him as a person. I think Nessa and Lela would be good examples for him, to be honest. To see that getting help from people doesn't mean admitting defeat and failure, but is rather a key step to finding some kind of success in life or achieving a goal.

Aw.

[@lovely complex]
Holden's immediate thought, "That bitch. Playing dirty," but also quietly thanking her for getting it over with.
