I think about Neuvillette pre Iudex era, and how merciless he was implied to be at some point, and his predecessor as Iudex. and lord imagine how wild it Must have been for Furina be like, i gotta fire one guy WHO THE PEOPLE KNOW to put the dragon we need for a prophecy that WHO KNOWS WHEN WILL HAPPEN, but said dragon is very verry grumpy how do you makes friend with a dragon that does not want to be your friend??? WHILE MAINTAINING THE ARCHON ACT???

This man has one of the best character designs I’ve ever seen. He’s designed like a stereotypical villain with his sharp features, dark armor, and the scar across his eye…but in actuality he’s goofy and sad.

Those about to die wasnt the most well written show in existence but by gawds it was FUN, had stunning lighting and most importantly. Scheming evil little gay man.

There isnt much (any??) Art of it yet so take my screenshot study

[wolfythewitch]

new Odysseus design is giving me lion king Scar vibes which is neat

Everything I draw is queer coded it is ordained by the lord

Sometimes I see fans going "but they're not gay! No one in Twst is gay. None of your ships are real" and I think about how almost all, if not all, of the villains referenced in the game were specifically queer-coded for the audience to think queerness = bad people. I mean the Evil Queen was designed after the lesbian stereotype of the time. So to say characters that represent queer-coded characters can't be gay/queer is like...

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN YOUR ROOTS??

Why do you like Paul's mustache so much?

It gives him the same air of arrogance, benevolent mischief, and something strangely gender, as like Emcee from Cabaret, or the Riddler, or Bugs Bunny.

I'm a big fan of fruity villains IDGAF if people are like "oh no this hurts the LGBT community because queer coding and poopoo caca" I don't give a fuck I love fabulous dazzling flamboyant villains that say shit like "oh darling, but you won't be surviving mmmMMMM" and then do the fruitiest evil laugh ever.

Do you think that the Corinthian is the Cat King's ex

(And more importantly do you think that the Cat King's second life ended with his eyes being gouged out)

[13eyond13]

the only gay rep I truly care about is

1. countless lives are destroyed because two proud people can't fully admit their gay crushes on each other

and

2. someone hides being a murderer as a metaphor for also hiding being gay

I will never make this because it would be for an audience of one (me) but ever since reading "If we Were Villains" (story about serious drama kids in college who perform shakespeare and deal with a murder) I have been entertaining the thought of a crack fic crossover with High School Musical The Musical The Series where the staff decides they will no longer put on shakespeare after the tragic accident that happened at Thanksgiving, because Shakespeare plays would only increase the tension and drama. So they hire Ms. Jen who decides their spring play will actually be High School Musical (which exists in the 90s in this universe) and it ruins the vibe so much that everyone gives up on being dark and mysterious because they're universally pissed at Ms Jen for making them learn choreoraphed basketball dancing.

something i really hope we see in the future, either in SotO or afterwards

is at least one canon m/m pairing that isn’t background NPCs, especially if it’s an existing male character that we already know

(and please no more “this creepy villain is implied to be bisexual because Oooo Look He’s Also Into Men!! Haha funny joke!!” ;; im begging you anet, no more of this caudecus and joko shit)
