(submissions now closed) Do you have a blorbo that is definitely homo but never directly stated canon by the creators? Well your blorbo qualifies to possibly win this tournament! Submit your blorbo to the form below and vote for them when they're selected to be in a poll! (Please read rules before submitting a character) Btw! First character to be submitted will be the profile picture for this blog.

RULES:

-Only characters that are NOT canonnically lgbtqia+, they do not NEED to be implied as long as basically the entire fandom just agrees that they're gay, but implied gay characters have a better chance of being selected. (Example of implied gay characters: Ash and Eiji, two men, from Banana Fish are greatlt implied to love each other romantically but it is never directly stated if either of them like men.)

-No real people unless it's REALLY funny (example: Ben Shapiro)

-Only humans, no animals or machines (unless they're part animal or part machine, or part something else, as long as they're at least part human or some other fantasy species thats not a literal animal, its okay.)

-NO DSMP, DANGANRONPA, OR HARRY POTTER CHARACTERS, characters from literally anything else is fine.

-No characters under 14, characters with no canonnical age are fine unless they are very obviously children

HOW ITS GONNA GO:

Me, (Lucifer/Caspar, any pronouns, owner) and my friend Maxine (she/her, mod) will select 32 characters and round one will eliminate 16 characters, round two will eliminate 8, and so on. If two characters tie Max and I will be the ultimate tie breakers.

The person(s) who submitted the final winner will receive a shoutout of course!

Max and I have each submitted a character also, however we will not be stating which ones.

For any questions send an ask or dm my personal blog ( @heygirlareyouhungry )

Another thing that bothers me is the way antis will use the word "coded". Coded is a word for groups that aren't allowed to have explicit representation to use for when authors make something that's obviously for them under the radar. Like queer coded. In kids shows there can also be stuff with coding for neurodivergent characters, and race coding can also be a thing. The idea is authors can't directly do what they want because society is being a dick (like they want to make x and x characters gay or have a Black main character) and so they code it so that people of those groups can still see themselves in it and Understand What They Mean.

So "child-coded" and "family-coded" are not things that even make sense. If the author wanted a character to be read as related or a child they would have simply written them that way! Nothing was stopping them! I respect all headcannons, but you headcannoning someone as a child or related and seeing your own evidence for it is not the same as coding.

Do you know what is coded though? Sebaciel. That ship is so heavily queer coded- in everything from the way the characters are drawn to the age gap to the campiness to the contract, the relationship-that-isn't-a-relationship-because-taboo!

These are classic queer tropes. They are all over the place in queer fiction, especially older queer fiction, to illustrate and emotionally navigate relationships that are considered by society predatory and taboo. Queers have always been painted as predatory. Because when you kicked out your teenage kid for being queer, guess where they went? They found some older queers to take them in. And support them in ways you never could, and see their strengths. And then people would say little Johnny was "seduced" or "taken advantage of" by some "degenerates" and "perverts" because they didn't want to take the blame of putting little Johnny on the streets. (Ofc sometimes im sure there were predators doing this maliciously, but that doesn't mean it was always the case. Not everyone wants to take advantage of people.)

Queer people also tend to have overlapping relationships because of social ostricization. For example, your dating history is your friend group and back in the days of Houses and mentors, your dating history might also have them in it too.

Age gaps are also a very quintessential trope in queer fiction. It makes a lot of sense when you think of how someone whose family life was suddenly cut short (or never really there in the first place) would end up wanting the sort of dynamic where someone was there to take care of them. And again- I'm sure that this was sometimes abused by a handful of people, but it as a fiction and as a desire is part of queer history and has been for hundreds of years. Most people whose parents pushed them aside or actively hurt them end up with daddy/mommy issues! Not everyone of course but a good amount! I want a daddy! I feel so much younger than I am because I am only just now getting to live my life as me!!! So of course i project myself onto and want to read stories about some little victorian boy and his op demon butler!!

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Ciel is very heavily queer coded. He was ignored by his family and then forcibly removed from it (because they died here, ofc) and the fact that he is essentially rescued from his powerlessness, aloneness, from being abused and taken advantage of by Sebastian, who is also very queer coded, ticks a lot of boxes. Then there's the whole messaging of Sebastian being seen as an abusive monster (when he is really quite caring of Ciel) and Ciel being seen as some perverted, broken, godless freak (ey what queers haven't heard those?), the religious implications of "making a pact with a demon" ("you can't be holy because of this relationship! Satan made u gay!!!!"), the victorian setting, the costume choices, the idea of being eaten, hell even the kinky undertones of the power dynamics- there are too many queer tropes to count. Even Ciel's age, when taken metaphorically- someone who hasn't been given the chance to have much experience, who isn't taken seriously, who does not have the social standing of someone who can hold their own against "grownups"- can all be read as coding for someone being descriminated against. Raise your hand if you're queer and have been called 'boy' or 'girl' derogatory/been treated like a kid for no reason!

I'd go so far as to say that most of the reason Black Butler squicks so many people is because the coding is so overt and obvious, but people still take it literally and think it just means "p3dO!1!!!1!". Probably because ya'll stay away from queer history because the Elders reclaimed slurs and that makes u angry lol.

The fact is even if Sebastian and Ciel never "get together", their relationship is still inherently queer and always will be. And quite frankly if it was cannon then it wouldn't be coded anymore it would just be gay. :)

Anyways thats how i feel about coding thanks for comin to my ted talk. x

Do u think Jack really liked Eric in that way or do you just ship it because it’s gay

That’s a great question! Being honest, I do really love a queer ship. However, I do truly believe that both characters are/were very queer coded. If you watch their scenes together closely or really think about some of the things they say/how they say them, it’s very apparent to see that 90% of the time there is definitely some underlying thing there. One could argue that they’re just being best friends, which is completely valid and canon in the show. Nevertheless, if you watch their interaction in Girl Meets World, one can see and even feel that chemistry they used to have. I mean come on, Jack looks at Eric like the man hung all the stars by himself. Don’t even get me started on Jack’s soft tones either. It was like ex-lovers crashing back into one another again, like fate brought them there because they just belong together. So, yes, I really think Jack and Eric both liked and loved each other very much especially in a queer way.

Currently watching "our man Bashir" and I'm so glad that I see queer-coding everywhere, because this episode would be so different if I went into this with the conviction that Bashir and Garak are strictly straight

Equestria Girls in reverse would've been pretty cool

Like an MLP isekai, where a depressed, socially-isolated high school student gets suddenly transported to the horse dimension, and becomes a horse.

Or, imagine our depressed, socially-isolated high school student doing the horse isekai as a double-life. They have to do mundane, depressing schoolwork in the human world, before being called to the magical horse world in a villain-of-the-day / "there's a friendship problem; we need your help" sort of fashion.

Bonus points if they realize they're gay and get a partner in the horse world, having to juggle their normal, human life, with their relationship in another dimension. Imagine them having to hide their romantic relationship with a magical horse from their human friends and family.

One episode can feature the universe-hopping magic going haywire (haha), and then the mc is stuck in the human world as a horse for 24 hours. One of the main villains gains access to the human world, tries to take over, and our closeted-horse protagonist has no choice but to out themselves as a magical horse in front of everybody, in order to save the world.

I mean, sounds better than Ladybug

(Go ahead and make this into a whole AU/fanfic, if you want. Just credit me, please :p)
