Hey guys! Today I’m coming at you with a fun new list talking about my favourite male friendships in books (and comics)! I feel like, in the blogosphere, we mostly pay homage to our favourite female friendships, and rightly so, but today I thought it might be fun to talk about my favourite brotps!

MY FAVOURITE MALE FRIENDSHIPS
DARCY & BINGLEY
I love them. Darcy is so moody and angsty. Seriously, just give him some guyliner and he’ll be all set. And, Bingley is just so light and happy all the time and seriously, how are these two friends? I love it. They are the original good cop, bad cop duo and they are so fucking iconic, I love it.
HARRY & RON
I mean come on, I had to include them in this list. I’ve been following their journeys for as long as I can remember and I regret nothing. These two and excluding Goblet of Fire they have one of the strongest friendships I have ever read about.
GANSEY & RONAN
Let’s be real, these two are beautiful. if you guys have read that scene from the first book, roughly 200 pages in, there’s a wasp scene that I love. It displays their friendship spot on in just a few lines. Gansey is allergic to wasps and Ronan all but flips out when he sees one near Gansey and I love it.
HEARTHSTONE & BLITZEN
I love them. These two have one of my favouriteΒ friendships. Hearthstone is one of my favouriteΒ book characters of all time and so his friendship with Blitzen makes this trilogy 10x better. These two have such a fantastically supportive friendship and I love it – Blitz learnt asl for Hearth and Hearth is constantly worrying about and supporting Blitz’s career goals and inability to go out into the sunlight.
ROCKET RACCOON & GROOT
I mean these guys are iconic at this point, right? I love these two as a duo, they totally balance each other out and I love it. Rocket may get totally frustrated and irritated half the time from Groot’s antics but he is always along for the ride and it’s amazing!
