...can we discuss the obviously unintended but nevertheless possible queer reading of anzu, given her being in love with an extremely queer-coded man, hanging out mainly with guys, and her immediate and (mostly) unwarranted dislike of the stereotypically straight presenting, conventionally attractive mai
I mean she had a point in disliking mai at first, mai wasn't a great person at the start, but anzu really latches onto these frankly misogynistic reasons for disliking her- anzu didn't mistrust mai because she was cheating, she mistrusted her because she was hot and distinctly feminine. obviously anzu comes around with mai eventually and ends up regarding her as a friend, but it sure didn't start that way. anzu's initial attitude honestly has big "I'm not like other girls" energy- and a lot of girls I personally knew back in the early 2000s who carried around that attitude (myself included) have since come out as some kind of queer.
and again maybe this is just a me projecting thing, but back when I thought I was straight (lol) the men I would "choose" to have crushes on had a tendency to be a bit..................femme-y. and atem? he's a little effeminate sometimes. there's a reason so much of the yugioh fandom reads him as queer himself- many of his mannerisms have a feminine flare to them, especially when you compare him to some of the more stereotypically "masculine" characters like jounouchi and honda.
I'm not saying anzu's feelings for atem aren't real, I think they are- but I do think you can interpret some queerness into the fact that that's the guy she falls for. it's not uncommon for us to be drawn to our own, even unconsciously.
she's also portrayed as a little tomboyish, especially in early season 0, but that's pretty subtle and does change a bit by season one of duel monsters. but it's not uncommon for queer women to bond with guys or to disown some degree of femininity, feeling like they don't have a lot in common with girls their age. this wasn't my personal experience but I've known lesbians and non-binary AFAB people who felt this way.
I'm painting in somewhat broad strokes here, obviously none of these things mean someone definitely is queer, nor are they inherent to female queer identity. Nevertheless, you could interpret it that way.
.............but what does make her queer is her love of broadway musicals and dreams of being a dancer in new york okay good NIGHT

Dead serious 3/4
Damian ran away from home after a bad fight with Bruce and accidentally entered a natural portal. Danny finds him and agrees to help him get home, and they fall in love along the way, with Ellie wingwomaning the whole time.
This is after that though, when Danny decides to join Damian in his dimension. Clockwork agrees, but he warns them that while it’s been almost a year for them, it’s been only a month back in Gotham, and their bodies will change to match that, with a few abnormalities for Danny. The journey may also cause Ellie to de age.
Now, the Batfam have been looking for Damian for a while, driving themselves crazy. They got confirmation that magic was involved, and are assuming it’s a kidnapping. So when a portal opens in their backyard, they are expecting a fight.
They aren’t expecting Damian to step out with another boy who had Black hair with a white streak like Jason, but bigger. He was cradling a baby who had the same dark hair.
“It’s weird seeing you look so young again.” The unknown boy says. Then, he sees them, and they all notice how one of his eyes is almost glowing green. “You ready to introduce me and the munchkin to your family? ‘Cause they are staring at us like they have seen a ghost.”

i think it is actually insane that it is considered a “controversial take” to like buck and tommy together.
like … he is canonically seeing him.. wanting to date him… is happy with him.. likes learning more about him..
and honestly? the same thing for any of his past relationships.
like ok you do not need to have liked any of his past girlfriends, hell you dont even have to like tommy! but you also do NOT need to bash / make fun of people who have / do??
buck dated these people for a reason. he liked them! he had chemistry with them! they had cute moments!
you should not feel ashamed or scared to admit that if it’s what you think. and you shouldn’t bash someone for not having the same opinions as you!
and just because you like bucktommy does not mean you are “giving up on buddie” … sick of people saying that actually lmfao LIKE HOWW DOES THAT CORRELATE??
personally, i just want to see buck happy and currently tommy is the one who has been making that happen. if you seriously cannot handle someone shipping them, i highly recommend growing up and getting over it lol
anyway
eddie and his love interests on the other hand……

[“…San Lang, don’t move. The voice out there sounds a lot like the state preceptor’s. Let’s not allow ourselves to be discovered…”
Hua Cheng bowed his head slightly and hugged Xie Lian’s waist.
“All right… You don’t move either,” he whispered in his ear.
Rocks and earth crushed at them from all around, forcing them to press tightly against one another, their faces nuzzling and their ears warming at the contact. While it was hardly the right time, a thought nonetheless flashed through Xie Lian’s mind: It doesn’t feel so bad to share a grave.]

okay, but where's my steddie AU where steve wants to learn to play guitar to impress a girl he's infatuated with and he remembers that munson kid was always hanging up posters for his weird band at school, so he hikes out to eddie's usual dealing spot behind the track and asks (with far less groveling than he really should have) if eddie will teach him how to play, and obviously eddie says no because why would he want to help king steve, but of course, steve offers to pay him, $20 a week, and well, that's the kind of get-the-hell-out-of-this-shithole-town cash eddie really can't afford to refuse, so fine, he'll teach steve to play and they'll spend inordinate amounts of time together tucked away in eddie's room and they'll start to see that they have more in common than they thought and that they kind of had each other all wrong, and eddie will put his hand over steve's to help him get the placement for a tricky chord and it totally won't awaken anything in either of them?? where is it??
edit: i started writing it

Adventure Time is good wlw and mlm rep because it's the polar opposite of how most parts of fandoms potray duos of gay ships.The wlw ship is a slowburn that's full of drama and angst while the mlm ship is cutesy uwu with the conflicts that led to them getting together lasting exactly one season.The diversity win of the decade
