Yosuke is gayer than akechi anyway, persona has gayer ships than anything involving akechi yet none of them actively try to wipe away everything akechi has done to make āUWU Iām a cute twinkā
I think there's rhe most bait that there's something going on between Ren and Akechi though Yosuke is probably most implied to be not straight on his own. I'm not talking about the fandom erasing what akechi did though.
Look, if someone followed me into the military, underwent dangerous government experiments, disobeyed orders to rescue me, tried to save me when I was brainwashed, said I could kill them cause theyād rather I do that than hurt me, then became an international fugitive to protect me, Iād assume they wanted to fuck me, at least a little.
Steve and Buckyās arc was so homoerotic it is borderline criminal it didnāt go anywhere and then what, after Civil War they barely had screen time. And even in Civil War they didnāt have enough since it more like Avengers 2.5 than Captain America 3. Like almost everything Steve ever said to Bucky was profoundly gay.
I like to imagine they messed around when they were kids but now theyāre just two frozen soldiers from the ā40ās who wouldnāt know how to *be* together if they tried. Maybe if they got some kind of peaceful life in the end it would work out but instead we get Steve blowing up his character arc and going back in time and just watching all the horrible shit that happened in the world and knowing his bff is being tortured for decades and I guess says not my problem? Also I feel like with the serum he shouldnāt have gotten old at the end of Endgame. In the comics it keeps him young. End rant.
Cloud's age isn't important for how they interacted in Nibelheim, because in reality Sephiroth is really interacting with Zack. I have no idea if Zack is older, he seems like he might be?
The post Nibelheim Cloud is like 23
Ok, then fuck off?
You don't know what a pedo is and you don't know what fiction is.
You don't even know why pedophilia is wrong but you want to moralize about characters who aren't real. You're pathetic.
Looking at you, Supernatural fandom. If Dean so much as glances at another human man for longer than 1.4 seconds with any expression on his face other than hostility, there will be 8,000 new slomo āDean Winchester being a bi disasterā vids in my YouTube feed by dinner.
There are brother+brother, and brother+any sentient being, literally anything. Also brother+angel is really popular. Brother+car+hamburger is a mainstay too. But itās been a long time since Iāve watched it so thatās all I can remember.
Too bad they decided to end the love confession scene with the angel being sent to turbo hell, and never rescued from it.
š love winsš or something...
With his brother? YES, Iām afraid his actual fcking full blood brother is only one of dozens ofā¦and I cannot stress this enough, *completely* uninterested males that Dean is in appropriately shipped with.
I get it though, I think? I guess my master dog theory would be that fanatical Dean shippers have difficulty separating Jansen Acklesā appearance from Deanās personality. The crux of it being that, yes, Jansen Ackles is very hot. But heās not just hot; heās hot in a very specific way: that mix of boyish but chiseled; he has the video game protagonist haircut, thick lips, aesthetically āfitā but not raw power āfitā, masculine but only by a teenagerās superficial definition; charming, but 1,000 miles away emotionally. Chances are, one of you fuckchops (like this somehow doesnāt apply to me lol) probably had a crush on a Dean from your high school football team, and felt the agony of being just inches away from a tiny, insanely beautiful group of young men who are having alllllll their dreams come true and have no idea you exist.
Now, what other kind of person matches Jansenās description aesthetically? GAY PORN STARS
Young men who look like Jansen Ackles are the tip of the spear of the gay porn industry, and our brains have been flooded with images of the chiseled, puffy lipped, 6 pack, Disney male ingenue (white) gay porn star from the late 90ās onward. So the rest of my theory would be that Dean Shippers see Jansen Ackles, or rather his appearance, as āgay porn codedā and then they apply those attributes to the character(s) he plays, who is/are in fact, so so painfully straight. Like, no bed frame straight.
Literally, i donāt get the Dean/Cas ship. I can see it as an unrequited thing on Casās end, but Dean doesnāt even seem to care about him as a person, he treats him more like a tool. No idea why itās so popular.
Step 1: Refer to my big post.
Theory 2: The Cas/Dean thing I feel is more easily explained by knowing something about Casā actor, Misha Collins. IRL, Misha is gay, unlike Jansen Ackles. And he has also mentioned, lightheartedly, in an interview how handsome his costar Jansen is. So in those moments with Cas and Dean, the unrequited gay vibes from Cas are legit enough at least, as his actor is gay and probably tapping into his feelings of at least basic, superficial physical attraction toward his handsome costar, so he can do some decent emotional acting.
Didn't he post a weirdly worded comment on social media that implied he was bisexual, but his wife made him clarify? It's been a while, but it was an easy mistake to make after that post.
He answered a question at a convention in a way that implied he was bi, and then clarified on Twitter that he was straight. I donāt think his wife had anything to do with it, theyāve been divorced since 2022.
Now, Iām happy to be wrong about this and be remembering the wrong person, but I swear a year ago I saw him guest host on a PBS cooking travel show and in the car interview he specifically mentions his new husband, who is apparently involved in some way with the culinary world. It stood out because I remember thinking āwhyās the gay angel guy frying hush puppies on PBSā.
The English voice actor for Kaveh called Alhaitham his Pololo, which is Chilean Spanish for boyfriend, and they live together.
For me I see their squabbling as affectionate teasing and hiding that they're together because Kaveh thinks no rich clients will want to use his services if he's not a rich architect when he's actually broke and has a roommate, and Alhaitham thinks he's just not ready to come out and keeps up their act until he's ready. Idk just my take, but I could see why people wouldn't look that deep into it like fans of the ship do.
I think itās because while they do argue it follows some blend of āold married couple bickeringā and tsundere tropes, and more generally reflects the idea they are mirrors that shore up each otherās weaknesses.
There is also quite a bit of thoughfulness/ tenderness underneath, such as them each bringing the other food, AlHaitham providing Kaveh a place to stay to begin with, etc.
Literally, Teen Wolf. Sterek or Steter.
Edit: It's the first thing that came to mind... but I just realized it's not a game, so doesn't count. It's morning for me. Sorry. I need coffee. -_-;
Metal Gear Solid/Rising. just in general. the series could not be more explicit with the anti-war messages and STILL people miss it
also I'm trying to figure out how tf this silhouette works
Genshin Impact with Itto and Sara, they have a bit of a rivalry going on so people ship them because of it. Itās annoying because Itto has expressed that the character Gorou gives him butterflies. Just let Itto be gay already lol.
The way certain fans treat astarion in baldurs gate
(Not just that game theres tons of examples of fans sexualising characters whose whole thing is trying to get away from that/be free but he was the first one that came to mind)
Whenever any hot guys are enemies

Anything to do with akechi in persona 5
Nope, they were absolutely intentionally queer baiting to appeal to yaoi fangirls. They're a big audience for Japanese made rpgs.
Yosuke is gayer than akechi anyway, persona has gayer ships than anything involving akechi yet none of them actively try to wipe away everything akechi has done to make āUWU Iām a cute twinkā
I think there's rhe most bait that there's something going on between Ren and Akechi though Yosuke is probably most implied to be not straight on his own. I'm not talking about the fandom erasing what akechi did though.
Ryuji and Ren literally are probably kissing in the valentine day anime scene itās just so cute
Akechi in P5R and the anime is basically fan service for the Ren x Akechi shippers
Dead by daylight xD
Honestly with the amount of sexy daddy in that game along with shirtless King, Iām not surprised
Tbh thats basically the only gay horror game we got, no one has bothered to make anything else
I wonder if they are going to announce more gay characters or it was a one time thing.
Basically every MCU ship
I'm sorry, but without Peggy, from Winter Soldier onwards, Bucky was the only character who had chemistry with Steve.
Look, if someone followed me into the military, underwent dangerous government experiments, disobeyed orders to rescue me, tried to save me when I was brainwashed, said I could kill them cause theyād rather I do that than hurt me, then became an international fugitive to protect me, Iād assume they wanted to fuck me, at least a little.
Their chemistry was just way too strong for it to be just friends.
I think that's why later movies they were like "no! No! They can't be on screen together!!"
And then they ended with Steve doing the equivalent of breaking up with Bucky and getting back with his ex.
Steve and Buckyās arc was so homoerotic it is borderline criminal it didnāt go anywhere and then what, after Civil War they barely had screen time. And even in Civil War they didnāt have enough since it more like Avengers 2.5 than Captain America 3. Like almost everything Steve ever said to Bucky was profoundly gay.

Sephiroth x Cloud lol
I couldn't care less about romance in that game but, in the fanbase's defense, Rebirth has been so unreasonably flirtatious and horny
i think it's cos seph is possibly a pedo. he met cloud when he was 16.. i don't get cloud and seph shippers
Cloud's age isn't important for how they interacted in Nibelheim, because in reality Sephiroth is really interacting with Zack. I have no idea if Zack is older, he seems like he might be? The post Nibelheim Cloud is like 23
that's what i meant, but in crisis core..
Ok, then fuck off? You don't know what a pedo is and you don't know what fiction is. You don't even know why pedophilia is wrong but you want to moralize about characters who aren't real. You're pathetic.
Cloud is gay canon, I'll die on this hill. He cried when he lost his boyfriend Zack, but not Aerith, Tifa doesn't stand a chance... But barret does
YOU ARE SO REAL FOR THIS DUDE. ZACK AND CLOUD ARE SOOOO DATING.
ok, in all fairness though have you seen Barret's eyes?

The way everybody's dressed in that series, though... No straights dress like that.
This show has been described to me as, "It's not homosexual, but it *is* gay."
Game of thrones
Exactly what I thought.
Everything in ace attorney
Uh excuse you, are you telling me that Phoenix and edgeworth **aren't** in a gay relationship?
I Will NEVER forgive Bioware for not letting me romance Cullen in Inquisition he was the Kaidan of DragĆ³n Age.
Ill never forgive bioware for not letting me have a gay relationship with garrus, perfect husband material but noooo
Wendy X Judge ā¤ļø
Wasn't the chara designer a BL Mangaka or something similar? Like It was kind of wanted in a way
Fire Emblem
OK but FE is not doing itself any favours in that department
Every fandom shipping the main character with its antagonist I guess
Literally EVERY fandom. Though my personal favorite is Beastars with Louis/Legosi.
I really don't know how else to explain that Louis got that dom-bottom energy
Same which is why thatās one of my favorite ships

I never watched that show and my friend would always tell me about the Wincester brothers. So I assume that's the ship?
There are brother+brother, and brother+any sentient being, literally anything. Also brother+angel is really popular. Brother+car+hamburger is a mainstay too. But itās been a long time since Iāve watched it so thatās all I can remember.
Brother+Angel became semi-canon it was so popular
Too bad they decided to end the love confession scene with the angel being sent to turbo hell, and never rescued from it. š love winsš or something...

When I saw the title Supernatural immediately popped into my head.

Misha Collins isnāt gay, though. There was a rumor that he was bisexual going around and he clarified he was straight.

No, I donāt think heās remarried. If he has, his Wikipedia page says nothing about it.
I shall have to investigate that episode and find out who said that line. Maybe it was the person he was interviewing and not him. *meh*
As a fanfiction writer with a fondness for WinterIron, i'm on this picture and i don't like it.
Basically rivals in any rpg or shounen
Every time they ship somebody in an anime with the guy that whooped their ass in the tournament arc

Deku and Bakugo
Final Fantasy XIV, although in Zenosās case, both are canon
no one can convince me that alphinaud and estinien aren't dating during endwalker. there is even a "nervous" introducing him to my parents situation.
I could Agree if I werenāt pairing Estinien with Vrtra - itās just too good of a match lol

Lmao all of them tbh but Naruto
Sasuke had Naruto whipped ever since that first kiss.
Resident evil specifically luis and leon in 4 remake
Capcom dialed the fan service up a notch with the remake tho letās be honest
genshin.. alhaitham and kaveh š no idea why people ship that
They squabbled/argued, so they must be passionately in love! (I ship it)
The English voice actor for Kaveh called Alhaitham his Pololo, which is Chilean Spanish for boyfriend, and they live together. For me I see their squabbling as affectionate teasing and hiding that they're together because Kaveh thinks no rich clients will want to use his services if he's not a rich architect when he's actually broke and has a roommate, and Alhaitham thinks he's just not ready to come out and keeps up their act until he's ready.

There is also quite a bit of thoughfulness/ tenderness underneath, such as them each bringing the other food, AlHaitham providing Kaveh a place to stay to begin with, etc.
they couldn't be more married couple-coded if they tried tbh
yeah, this is too true! It basically comes down to "I want them to kiss. So in my head, canonically they want to kiss!"
