thinkin abt benny tonight

#tags rant approaching lets goooooooooooo #ive been thinking abt his route a lot and his overall place in the story #and i think it would be. REALLY interesting if he got revealed as gay in the sequel #he's already the one who's able to reject toxic masculinity the most !! he's the only one who wants to actually befriend five !!!! #and im not saying that it would be impossible if he was attracted to her but what im saying IS #how Pointless this whole journey in the hopeful must have been to him then !!! #it would also mean that he had to be deep in the closet around his friends due to how affected by toxic masculinity they were which is! sad #im saying this all as an aroace benny believer btw. but a character like him being canonically aroace seems ! kinda unrealistic #but gay benny is real. it's possible. he already gets homophobic comments thrown at him #and im not saying i want him to get called a faggot. hes already a faggot in my heart #like i literally dont care about him liking men i just care about him not liking women #i want this 'searching for The Girl' adventure to feel completely pointless to him at a personal level #but knowing that he can't abandon his friends like that. and pretending that he actually cares about finding her #and for it to become something bigger in the sequel. something beyond personal. like this is not about him anymore #does any of this even make sense #EDIT because i forgot more thoughts i have #first of all sth more personal and less analytic which is: even if he was aroace i dont think he'd have the words for it anyway #and who cares if hes gay or aroace or both hes still queer and not into women #and second thought. it would mean that he didnt have feelings for the red haired girl #which makes. his whole pre flash backstory a lot more interesting #bc she couldn't have been ''leading him on'' #but the whole situation got misinterpreted from the outside. basically #idk man. i like benny i just think he's neat
