Stop calling them enemies to lovers if all they do is Hallmark style bicker.
They must have deep ideological differences, such as, one believes the other should be dead, and the other one is like, actually you should be dead.
Their vibes should be: "I don't know if I'm grabbing your neck to kiss you... or throttle you and end your miserable bloodline... but I must put my hands upon you or else I might perish."
They should be assassins of the heart and mind, conniving and cruel and lusting for each other's bodies and blood, in more ways than one.
Or just regular assassins, because assassins are sexy.
Also they should be LGBT, because the heteros do this trope sooooo bad.
If you agree with me, and you're into LGBT enemies to lovers, assassins, and also a little bit of demon fucking, you should check out my new urban fantasy book: 7 Deadly Habits of the Modern Demon Summoner, available here.
Summary below: (spoilers: it's basically just pansexual John Wick x Scott Pilgrim...and there are demons):

Although, I warn you. It's really more enemies to lovers to enemies that fuck.
Starring a pansexual demon summoning assassin with too many exes in the killing biz.
Anyway! This book has my whole heart in it. For better or for worse. I'd appreciate if you checked it out or reblogged this post! It's hard out here for indie authors.

People in this fandom will really look at The Fool, Patience, Lacey, Carson, Sedric, Hest, Davvie, Lecter, Kennit, Ash/Spark, and yes, even Fitz himself, and still have the gall to call it queer bait.
These characters are explicitly queer, their actions impact the narrative, they are well written, and their identities are treated with respect. That is the best possible queer representation you could ask for in any story.
I've seen people on tumblr basing the likelihood of if they read this series on whether or not it's "actually gay" and I'm here to tell you that it is. There are queer characters. There are queer protagonists. And no matter what you see people in the fandom say, Robin Hobb wrote some amazing queer representation in a genre that rarely sees it at all.
EDIT: and I think it's pertinent to note that, no, characters who are questioning or struggling with their feelings about sexuality instead of knowing 100% does not make something queer bait or "less gay"
TLDR;
Queer bait = disrespectful marketing ploy that exploits queer audiences
Queer bait ≠ "my two favorite characters never have sex"

i might start collecting screenshots that are basically "ninjago has always been this way" so that when people inevitably start complaining about dragons rising being too progressive (because i actually saw those complaints about seabound and crystalized about the exact things you think the complaints were about) i will have an entire folder on my computer for ammunition of "did we watch the same show. you know the show where one of the main characters put on a dress and wig to lure a samurai into saving him from a train in episode 5 and another one of the main characters comes from a family of dancers and that episode feels like he's coming out as gay. that show"

I Believe...Steddie
I normally don't mind angst (though I avoid drama fics in general). Miscommunication is the biggest trope in romance, so I'm all for it, but for some reason Steve x Eddie fics / drabbles where Eddie still thinks of Steve as Steve THE KING Harrington always sit weirdly for me. Sometimes, if the Upside Down didn't happen (AUs in general) or pre-UD setting, maybe -- sure, then that could work. But close to canon fics where Eddie lives and Steve legit confesses to him? Always just -- strikes me as wrong.
Finally realized why -- it's literally the antithesis of canon Eddie. Canon! Eddie is quick to acknowledge Steve has changed. He literally runs up to him in the Upside Down while a bunch of madness is happening and where he has every right to be consumed by his own shit-tastic situation, but instead, he's telling Steve how he is a great guy and has changed.
Can Eddie be bitchy and prejudice? Yes.
Does Eddie have grudges against jocks / the popular crowd? Yes.
But he also goes full on bowing gentlemen for cheerleaders (going out of his way to help Chrissy and make her smile) and he's quick to acknowledge Steve's not that same popular AH anymore.
With Steve's bitchiness not aimed at him, Eddie would be eating his Honeycomb and snickering when old habits popped back up, and maybe he'd feel conflicted about jocky Steve, complaining about going to games or something until somebody smacked some sense into him. Totally believe tension and disbelief about one liking the other or some bias about things, but I just can't see Steve proclaiming his love or whatever and Eddie assuming it is a trap or trick or prank or something.
Maybe he'd think Steve was confused. Maybe he'd assume they were doomed, but I can't see him blaming Steve for that or blowing up their relationship IF Eddie accepted the confession and they started dating. Eddie's way more down on himself.
If someone can explain how it makes sense, please do. I'd love to enjoy all Steddie tropes, and that one seems popular lately, but where my brain sees so many problems with them getting to the confession point or even a number of big arguments that could happen afterward due to outside aspects, those two strike me as highly tactile, highly clingy romantics who would be convinced they were the height of discrete while practically fused, constantly touching and being snide little judgy dudes together.
#steddie#Steve x Eddie#Eddie Munson#Stranger Things#Only way Eddie doesn't see how Steve's changed is if the Upside Down doesn't exist but then Steve might not have changed#the second Steve asks him out Eddie is 100% in#won't accept anything different#Eddie is a drama king but he's the the sort to be clingy and pushy and cause problems by being too tactile and obvious in a homophobic town#which is why I 100% believe fics where Eddie and Steve fight over Steve refusing to come out or leave Hawkins#Despite also 100% believing Eddie would understand#frankly I fall for all the tropes EXCEPT Eddie not believing (in a canon compliant Upside Down having universe)that Steve has changed#where are my double date fics with Eddie and Steve taking out two girls only to get dumped because they spent more time chatting themselves#What about the fics where Eddie sets Steve up with a metalhead girl only for Steve to be like 'wow I'm super into this'#but then he realizes partway through he is 100% imaging she's Eddie#Or Steve setting up Eddie on a double date only to have a 'oh no I fucked up' moment as he realizes halfway through that he loves Eddie#Steve: Cool Eddie might score (*and it was at that moment he realizes he fucked up) I don't want Eddie to score#Give me hooking up duo who 'just like making out' and 'just aren't ready to get back out there yet' who feel pressured to do so#and they end up throwing hands over it and banging#Eddie: So...that happened. | Steve: Do you think Dustin was right? | Eddie: No way that butthead is right. | Steve: But what if he is?#Eddie: Obviously we can't tell him. | Steve: But we can still make out right? | Eddie: Fuck yeah#Give me dumb bets between guys friends inspired by Steve trying to relate to Eddie like he used to Tommy

the thing about the age old question of 'was griffith in love with guts during the golden age' that really gets me is that like. the main point of their relationship to me is that griffith felt intensely for guts in a way he never felt about anyone else before, that he saw something in guts that fascinated him and reflected back to him, that he, for the first and only time ever, felt genuinely connected to someone and grounded in this deeply human relationship with another person, not coolly detached as he usually was with everyone else. guts made him feel like a real person, not a fairy tale prince or a god king whose ambition put him above everyone else and isolated him by this very reason.
but because the only way he knew how to relate to people was by possessing and controlling them, he also related to guts in such a way. it's the paradox of their relationship: he likes guts in great part because he is his own person, because he doesn't bow to griffith as this superior being and longs to see him as an equal, eye to eye, but he also can't stand the thought of guts being outside of his control, of him not being under his wing, near him. it was ultimately this mix of emotions that caused the eclipse and everything that followed it.
this is the key concept of their relationship, and it's troubled and toxic and not something that necessarily speaks of romance and attraction. whether griffith felt affection for him as a lover or a friend or a brother, it doesn't change the result, because the specific nature of his affection is not the main point, but that he was capable of feeling so strongly for another person at all, to the point of jeopardizing his dream for his sake.
with all of this said, though. it's still painfully obvious that the golden age arc was framed as a sort of messed up griffith-guts-casca love triangle (one where guts is obviously the center of) and denying that is just crazy to me at this point, like. it didn't have to be framed like that, with stuff like the naked waterfight and casca being so intensely jealous of griffith's affection towards guts that she saw him as a (love) rival for years, but it was. it's impossible to overlook that.
i believe the reason why many people resist the 'romantic love' approach is because they assume it would render all of this complexity null and just come across as a jealous/scorned lover story, but of course it wouldn't. not even the most bad faith interpretation of the story would make people think that way, because it's obvious there's more going on there. but vehemently denying the homoerotic undertones feels straight up disingenuous at best and lacking media literacy at worst, to me

I must leave now. Could you show me that look? You hate it. I just want to see it for the last time. Ah, I knew I would feel weird. I'm leaving. I think I didn't give a proper goodbye.
