BroTP

noun

Etymology

Blend of bro (“male comrade or friend”) + OTP (“one true pairing”).

Definitions

  1. A platonic relationship between two characters that is a personal favorite of a fan.

    • "Natasha Romanoff and Steve Rogers are adorbs together as friends, but I'd never ship them — total BROTP."
    • BROTPs and OT3s (shipping three characters in a polyamorous relationship) abound.
    • Being in a fandom means that we willingly signed on to watch as our—soon-to-be — favorite character(s) die, as we find out our OTP may never truly get to be happy, or that our BroTP will always be at odds.
