#magnus reminding victor that he and alec aren’t just “friends” by bringing up one of the most well-known and classic romantic tropes #it is such a common lgbp+ experience to have other people address your partner as your “friend” #when you are actually romantically involved #homophobic society loves to erase our relationships #you know, they’re just “bros being bros” #two girls dating are just “gals being pals” #but here we have magnus bane reminding us all that he and alec are dating #and that him taking care of an unconscious alec does mimic the sleeping beauty trope—and it would clearly be read it that way if they were a straight couple—even if the severity of the situation means we shouldn’t reduce it to that
