No one talks about the aroace universal experience of all your favourite movies and shows you've had throughout your entire life are the ones where the characters have strong friendships, and only later on, after you've found the right terminology, you realise how unconsciously you've been drawn to media where the plot doesn't involve romance or sex.

For me, it was when I realised I had been playing the fourth season of Doctor Who on repeat. RELIGIOUSLY. Why point that season out? It's one of the few with an amazing plotline and one of the best most beautiful friendships, that's even bordering on a qpr, we have on television.
