Didn't they literally sleep together? It's been 5 years since I read the book but I remember them being in bed.

>>8667740
They had to sleep together because there weren't enough rooms in the inn for the night

>>8667740
Yeah but they didn't fuck. Have you never shared a bed with a friend?
I share a bed with my friends when we go on snowboarding trips all the time. It's not gay. It was the only bed he could afford.

It used to be that men could be affectionate with other men, without it being gay.

Ehhh, Ishmael explicitly says they were sitting there as comfortable and happy as husband and wife among a myriad of other gay shit.
That being said I don't think they were gay, I think it was intended as comic relief, but I'm going as Ishmael to a halloween party and you bet your ass I'm drawing on a tattoo with "Queequeg" in a heart.

But that's not even funny, that's literally just gay. The first time I read it at 15, I assumed they had sex.

Post your halloween costume

I drew this on my arm then added some generic sailing tattoos. The outfit's really basic, just a button-up shirt, chinos, a flat cap, and suspenders.
Ishmael described himself so vaguely that the only real distinguishing thing is this.

Wow you actually did it. I like you anon.

Thanks anon. I put them on last night and went to a friend's party, I'm sitting in a lecture going over them. This is the other side of that arm, generic sailor stuff.

And then the other arm has a harpoon. I ended the rope in a noose for muh symbolism.
I have a giant compass rose on my chest too but I'm in public so I can't redraw it or take a pic right now.
