Top Ten Platonic Relationships In Books
I know that on Tumblr everyone is into slash fiction and I totally get that bi erasure and homophobia are (still) a thing and that different sexualities need their own reps, but I have always been a fan of pure, lovely platonic relationships. Here are a few of my favourites where the friendships strengthen, support and lift each other up:
- Rose and Lissa from Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
- Sydney and Eddie from Bloodlines by RIchelle Mead
- Elphaba and Glinda from Wicked by Gregory Maguire
- Legolas and Gimli from Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien
- Bella and Alice from Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
- Harry and Hermione from the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling
- Ari and Janko from the Study series by Maria Snyder
- Lirael and the Disreputable Dog from the Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix
- Safi and Isuelt in Truthwitch by Susan Dennard
- Jules and Arsino from the Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake
