Agatha and Rio have an explicit, textual, canonical romantic past and are explicitly, textually, canonically queer. They have had a number of *unambiguously* romantic and sexually charged moments together on screen - NOT innuendo that can be explained away as something else. I want them to kiss, and THEY ARE GOING TO, but if they didn’t it still would not be queerbaiting. They are explicitly queer. Words have meanings.

#to be clear i’d be pissed if they didn’t kiss!#(and again. they’re going to)#but a bad creative decision for a character arc isn’t the same thing as queerbaiting #queerness is explicitly part of these characters and this story #it’s not empty marketing #it’s not subtext #IT IS TEXT #agatha all along #agatha all along spoilers #gettin’ meta #writing
