Simple question- who's your favorite badass couple/polycule?

Propaganda for Perc'ahlia: "The gal is queer, the guy is probably queer, they’re so edgy separately but together he’s the most pathetic simp and she’s a badass Queen. Iconic, they are"

Propaganda for the Leverage trio: "Parker/Hardison is canon since S4/5, Elliot fell for them later. OT3 confirmed via word of God. Eliot is the one most suited for literal battle but the other two can kick ass when required and the three of them battle capitalism via crime 24/7."

Simple question- which couple is your favorite?

Propaganda for Rupphire: "They're one of the first actual canon and not-ignorable lesbian couples in an animated series. They're perfection and so super important."

" These two care each other so much and they can literally use The Power Of Love to change destiny. Plus they fuse into Garnet who also kicks ass, and is one of the best characters in the show (square mom best mom). They're married and had what I believe was the first F/F wedding on a kid's show?"

Simple question- who's your favourite badass couple? Propaganda under the cut, there's a lot of it this time!

Propaganda for Cecilos: "Canonly gay as hell since episode 1 of WTNV. Cecil also won tumblr sexy man, and has been a huge part of Tumblr's history since days of old. As for Carlos... He's a scientist. Scientists are hot and get into trouble way too often."

Propaganda for Barnaby x Kotetsu: "Ugh, they're so GOOD. they've got battle couple. they've got coworkers. They've got silly nicknames for each other. they brought light into each other's life!! the single parent trope!! superheroes!! swearing to be partners forever!!! almost died in each other's arms!!!!!! THEY'VE GOT EVERYTHING they are also supposed to be canon, they're literally listed as each other "partner" in the family section in their respective wikis!!!! It's not like, explicitly canon, but it technically is :D"

"It's not Canon because the statement from the production team is its up to the viewers to decided but the team see them as romantic partners

These two goofballs are my fave right now

Rivals to lovers arc

Red and green colour scheme

They share the same power

They are work partners who hate eachother but then come to love eachother

They literally put their life on the line together

Kotetsu ran out of the hospital still bleeding to give Barnaby a grenade to help him win

Have cute nicknames for eachother (Bunny/ lil bunny and old man)

They constantly fight over the goofiest things

Kotetsu almost died in Barnaby's arms

Barnaby admitted to be practising Kotetsu's favourite food so he can cook it for him

Kotetsu tells him that he has such long eyelashes in return

Barnaby quits hero work when kotetsu retires and joins it again when Kotetsu takes it up

The entirety of the second movie (look, the way Barnaby's VA (ive only watched it in english) says Kotetsu)

The two are called the best buddy duo and the first

The Fugan and Mugab fight when Kotetsu trusts that Barnaby has a plan when everyone else believes that he is in a blind rage because Kotetsu was injured

The manga makes them even more like a married couple then the second season

They are both superheroes and are the first partner duo at first They hate eachother but they come to like eachother (Barnaby adopts Kotetsu's morals)

This is more why they are a couple then why they are a battle couple sorry bout that

They fight crime together everyday for their jobs

They have taken down members of the terrorist group Ouroboros together and help eachither back up

The suit swap

Barnaby hysterically crying in the end episode

But they fight crime together"

Simple question- who's your favorite badass couple?

Propaganda for Patpran: "They're THE couple of communicating, they're always on each other's side and they're an absolutely brilliant team"

Propaganda for Janaya: "Super cool enemies to allies due to circumstance to lovers with political intrigue due to differing cultures (also Amaya is deaf and that’s pretty cool - she called Janai cute in sign language in the third season in the show and they weren’t even dating yet)."

"They're both super badass and Amaya is amazing deaf representation"

Simple question- who's your favorite badass couple?

(mod side note- oh this matchup is painful. Randomizer seems to hate me 🥲)

Propaganda for the OG badass gay couple, though not in their OG story: "Achilles was the best of the Greeks and a soldier capable of deciding the fate of the Trojan war. Patroclus was mostly a healer who never wanted to fight. They grew up together for a lot of their lives and mean the world to each other. When Patroclus was killed on the gates of Troy while leading soldiers in battle, Achilles rejoined fighting and killed Hector while on a rampage through Troy, despite there being a prophecy that he couldn't die until Hector did. Their ashes were mixed in the same funeral urn."

Propaganda for Goldenheart (knight husbands aka what we needed to end Pride Month this year): "They’re literally techno medieval knights who have a lovers to enemies to lovers arc. What more could you ask for"

Simple question- which couple is your favorite?

(Mod note: Hey look it's the randomizer hating me again. Tiesweep? Please?)

Propaganda for Avatrice: "Beatrice is a badass ass-kicking nun, very lethal, very gay. Ava is a super-powered ray of sunshine, also very lethal, very small. They have shared trauma ofc, but support each other and kick serious ass together defeating demons and internalized homophobia💪🏼💪🏼"

Propaganda for Fierrochase: "Shout out to the time Magnus defeated Loki with the power of friendship and also confessing his love to Alex"

[badass-queer-couples-battle]

Simple question- which couple is your favorite?

Propaganda for Catradora: "They spend the majority of the show as enemies, but they resolve their differences at the end and get to be gay and fight together again. They're both child soldiers so they're already good fighters as is, and Adora gets a magic destiny that makes her even stronger! They save the universe from a fascist cult leader! :D"

"Fought each other now fight alongside"

Propaganda for Neil and Andrew: "They have canonically both killed people and have threatened to kill people to protect each other. Survived multiple murder attempts. Always willing to fight, even if they won’t necessarily win the fight (I mean, Andrew literally spend a while in juvie for a fight. He had valid reasons, but still) Andrew carries knives on him, Neil sleeps with a gun under his pillow. Very dramatic, very traumatised."

[badass-queer-couples-battle]

Simple question- which couple/ship is your favorite?

Propaganda for Shadowgast: "again, what's sexier than wizards NOTHING! they're wizards! they're war criminals! Essek shows affection by crushing assassin's that try to kill Caleb into tiny balls with magic and Caleb shows affection by throw Essek at the healers when he's polymorphed as a giant ape! forehead kisses! you were not born with venom in your veins! young man! there's SO MUCH"

Propaganda for Heavy and Medic: "gay peopel"

"They’re gay and insane and I love them"

[badass-queer-couples-battle]

Simple question- which couple is your favorite?

Propaganda for one of my first ever queer ships Solangelo:"

"THEY’RE SO!!!!!!! READ THE SUN AND THE STAR THEY MAKE ME INSANE (nico gay and will bisexual and they’re both trans (trans part is my personal headcanon but the sexualities are canon)"

"They first kind of actually got to know each other in the middle of a battle, and became friends and then started dating sometime after that. Will is a healer mostly and Nico tends to do more actual questing throughout the books, but they do both fight (both in friendly stuff like a scavenger hunt thing in a labyrinth and in legit battles like against a colossus, hunting after troglodytes, and going through Tartarus together on a quest). They also have a lot of more shipping-y moments- for example, Nico got a fake doctor’s note from Will to let them sit together during meals against camp rules, Nico calls Will his significant annoyance, etc."

Propaganda for the girlbosses Beauyasha: "They’re literally so cool, they could both snap someone’s neck in a second, but then they’d settle down for some nice tea {:"

"their first date involved fighting ninja dogs <;3"

[badass-queer-couples-battle]

Simple question- which couple is your favorite?

Propaganda for Sulemio: " Their whole show is basically a giant utena reference but with mechs. Episode one they got engaged and since then a major part of the plot is their relationship and how its developed into choosing each other rather than being forced. They love each other so much and dream of getting married in pretty dresses."

Propaganda for Moriarty and Holmes: "The manga/anime adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes novels is somehow a romance."

"They don’t work together much in the anime, but in the manga, past the ending of the anime, they live together and work together. Also Moriarty the patriot is a great show/manga and more people should know about it."

[badass-queer-couples-battle]

Simple question- which couple is your favorite?

Propaganda for Soratori: "Exploring the Otherside, a realm separate from our own, populated by internet creepypasta, Sorawo and Toriko defeat monsters and are only able to survive because they have each other. It is a slow burn, but they do fall in love. Otherside Picnic is a great series with a ton of character growth, and a lot of Toriko and Sorawo being badass lesbians with guns."

"They explore an alternate dimension together, fighting horrors crafted from early-internet creepypasta, and are able to survive through the power of yuri and guns."

No propaganda submitted for Harlivy.

[badass-queer-couples-battle]

Simple question- which couple/polycule is your favorite?

Propaganda for Rose x Kanaya: "rose is a gothic teen witch who wields weaponised magic knitting needles and heeds whispers of dark eldritch gods. kanaya is a teen of a super tough alien race, she wields a chainsaw and she is pretty happy to use it (will amputate a friends legs, or cut an enemy entirely in half) who also becomes a vampire. anyway they start dating because OBVIOUSLY they do. of course freaky goth girl rose is gonna be all over an alien vampire gf. of course kanaya who canonically has terrible taste in women 'i can fix them'-style will go for the human girl with a god and god-killing complex who plays with dark forces for shits and giggles. also theres this whole thing about how due to time shenanigans kanaya was actually guided by rose's writing before rose had even written it so like, admired her and stuff and so theres a fun sort of backstory of them getting to know eachother for reals and stuff idk its fun"

Propaganda for Camille x Nyra x Dendrobium: "Canon witch polycule Demon fighters with sick powers"

"Camille and Nyra are witches and Dendro is a demon, so they all have magic! They fight against a demon and Camille's abusive monster aunt together. Camille learned plant magic from Dendro. Dendro gets to live an exciting life thanks to Camille summoning her. Nyra is a great support to them both during this hard time."
