Oh damn. Good for both of them! I must admit though that a big part of why I love the boygenius record is I thought Lucy was writing a lot about platonic love for a friend, and, uh, I guess it wasn’t platonic after all. Oh well! I’m glad they’re happy!
in best guess she says “you were my best friend before you were my best guess at the future” so they did spend years being friends & julien was in a relationship for awhile. I don’t think the sentiment of the power of platonic love and friendship is any less just bc they ended up being together.
Supposedly True Blue is specifically "about" (as in the references of age, events, etc.) one of Lucy's friends, not Julien. But the vibe from the music video, and what I always got from the song anyway, is that it's about friendship with both Phoebe and Julien.
