Geralt & Jaskier | The Witcher (2019)
“You’ve got a guest…It’s Dandelion this time, your fellow…Do you want to see him?”
“Of course. He’s my friend, after all.”
“I can’t understand that friendship. He’s your absolute opposite.”
“Opposites attract.”
-The Last Wish (1993, translated to English 2007)

Can anyone point me towards any bromances (from movies/series/books/games/whatever) in which one guy is like a big, tough, serious dude who is very protective of his friend, who is maybe smaller, weaker, or just in distress much of the time?
Examples:
This is purely for research purposes, of course :3
(Also, I’m not looking for instances in which the characters are confirmed to be lovers by canon)
I don’t mind making this into a thread for people searching for something similar. Thanks in advance!
Netflix:
Geralt: If life could give me one blessing, it would be to take you off my hands.
Book:
Dandelion: Geralt, don’t leave me here. I’ll never survive by myself. Don’t leave me.
Geralt: You must be insane, Dandelion. You must be insane with fear, if you could think I’d leave you. Give me your hand and jump up on the horse…Don’t worry, I’ll get you across, on a log if I have to…You can write some new poems, and I’ll share my food with you.

This has been episode 1 of “Things That Happened in the Books That I Wish Would Happen in the Show.”
“This only concerns Dandelion. He suffered at my side, in my presence. I didn’t manage to save him, and I couldn’t help him. I’d sit on a scorpion with my bare backside if I knew it would help him.”

Okay so I just found out about this Polish mini-series of The Witcher from 2002 (also called “The Hexer”) and I’m now obsessed with Geralt and Jaskier’s bromance in yet another version. I couldn’t help but share this sweetness because it is just too much for me to handle.

Favorite Doctor Who dynamics: First Doctor & Ian Chesterton
I absolutely love the friendship between the First Doctor and Ian. As one of the first companions, Ian was instrumental to the Doctor’s early growth. Their relationship started antagonistic and quickly became almost like father and son. Over time, the Doctor begins to take on some of Ian’s (and Barbara’s) better traits, such as kindness, compassion, and a willingness to help those in need. Their witty banter and affection for each other felt genuine and apparent that it was translated directly from Hartnell and Russell’s chemistry.
Ian: “You know, I don’t think I’ll ever get used to traveling with you, Doctor. There’s always some remarkable new thing to see.”
Doctor: “The moment when you get used to it is the moment to stop, my dear boy.”
Ian (narrating): He smiled at me and rested his hand gently on my shoulder in friendship. So comfortable now…To think when we’d first met, we’d been enemies.
