Like the reason people like dreamling isn't because we want to force the two main white boys together for the next big gay ship ( hobs not a main and also ferdie isn't white but ok). It's because we spend half an episode building a really solid and interesting story around their friendship, which includes a lot of queercoded subtext (the 1989 convo w the bartender having no pronouns for example) and the ambiguity around their relationship gives us material to work with, writing our own fics and art etc. It is genuinely fun to be given two great character bases and be allowed to speculate and create new worlds around their relationship. And yes!! They're gay. I'm literally a gay woman let me use fictional characters to explore queerness thanks. Plus if you've read the comics (like me and most) you know what role hob plays further on and how important he is to dream.

Like I understand not liking the ship. There are plenty of popular ships that I despise. But I block that ship tag and move on. Let other ppl have fun.
