“Old friend” either means an elderly dog or an individual of the same gender with whom you have been secretly in love for more than a decade. There are no other possible interpretations.
This is blatant archenemy erasure and I won’t stand for it
Bold of you to assume the archenemy isn’t the individual of the same gender you’ve been secretly in love with for more than a decade
Bold of you to assume the archenemy isn’t an elderly dog

#anything that makes me laugh this much deserves a reblog #(rules of thumb: if I describe an *identified* person as ”an old friend” they are in fact a friend I have had for a while) #((I would say the threshold is 3 – 4 years rather than 10)) #((but perhaps that changes with age as you have more time to accumulate 10+-year relationships)) #(if I make a vague reference to ”an old friend I had who [did X]/[told me about Y]/[etc]” they’re probably) #(somebody I’ve since lost contact with) #(or they unapologetically hurt me one too many times and I couldn’t stand to be around them anymore)
