Me realizing how powerful homophobia can be among League of Legends and Arcane fans. Seriously, wtf ?!

When I see the things that are said about Caitvi...

Not to mention those who simply hate the simple concept of shipping fanon ships like with Jayvik when it doesn't change anything in canon ?!

And all those who hate that potential lesbians could have had a crush on Katarina recently, rushing to scream that she was straight !

Cool. And ? That won't stop people from shipping her with a girl (especially Elise) right now if they want ? And that won't stop the canon romance that Katarina has with Garen from existing (which I can't wait to see if it ends up being adapted since we're normally on an enemies to lovers trope).

Like... I see so many people in the fandom lol saying that the concept of ships ruins canon... But hat the hell are you talking about ?

Also, so funny to see them screaming and crying about how Vi & Caitlyn were "forced, not official in the game, that they were probably friends and that it's useless, just respect the canon instead of forcing queer characters" but strangely Timebomb who has nothing canon, not even ambiguity according to lol, well strangely it doesn't bother them.

They claim it's because it would be better done when clearly... no ? And yet I like this ship too. We all know why Caitvi seems forced to them but not Timebomb.

Seriously, all this disgusts me.

Let people ship whatever the fuck they want.

sorry Vi fans

i keep seeing a lot of Vi and Caitlyn fans choose Katarina as their new fave, and not gonna change that but I keep seeing people saying she's def queer and seem to be expecting a Caitvi storyline with her.

she's straight chat... or at least seems to be in the comics and through voice lines

I was disappointed too I wanted that shit too, but sometimes the baddest bitches aren't meant to be my bitches

uh anyways that's it idk, me and my friend were discussing this and I wanted to post something

I know I shouldn’t love you, but I do

Sorry to be boring. But I'm curious about the songs you'd pick for Garen x Katarina

— mandatory brazilian song goes to “Estúpido Cupido” by Celly Campello (“Stupid Cupid”) because i love this oldie a lot and it fits the romeo juliet trope they have going on

— “D is for Dangerous” by Arctic Monkeys because even tho that archetype was challanged in the comics, Katarina tries to be a femme fatale so bad (she’s actually a loser. dont tell garen)

— “A Lovely Night” from La La Land is soooo Katagaren first meeting

— “Cuz I Love You” by Lizzo as Katarina’s POV

— “For the Record” from 36 Questions is not so much about the lyrics itself but just the awkward vibes (specially from garen <3)

also don’t apologize!! i love receiving asks :D

In this scene katarina's mind

In defense of KataGaren...

Seen this ship cop a bit of flak after the Bite Marks video dropped...I think mostly because Arcane Only fans taking their first look at Katarina and going "PLEASE TELL US SHE'S A GIRLKISSER OH WAIT WHAT"

I mean she could be, I don't make the rules. But bashing poor Garen over it is a bit uncalled for and just plain mean. KataGaren's actually one of the few M/F League ships I kinda like.

Hear me out.

It's actually two-sided and they're actually on equal footing.

I know, shocking right, but most of the other M/F ships where they aren't either already a couple or already freaking married are in some way one sided? The Guy Likes The Girl and we either never get to see how she feels back or she has no idea who TF he is and is weirded out when he fail-flirts with her or there's some toxic power dynamic because League sure doesn't like giving its women agency in their M/F relationships unless the couple's introduced expressly as a couple.

There's an underlying comphet, "he wants her, so of course it's going to happen" that icks me out and I can't shake it away.

KataGaren though? They've got a pretty simple, straightforward 'loyal-warriors-for-rival-nations-but-we-had-a-couple-of-sword-fights-and-realized-we-are-hot-for-each-other-oh-no' dynamic.

The attraction is clearly mutual, they're equals on the field of battle and respect each other's prowess and loyalty to their nation even if they're enemies, no one is trying to fix anyone or manipulate anyone outside of the fairly transparent "I'll do whatever the mission takes, even taking you down" that they are both clearly aware of.

They just keep bumping into each other in dangerous situations and having flirty fights.

The straight-laced stoic paladin hero guy getting flustered but also excited by the flirtatious edgy assassin femme fatale who thinks riling him up is kinda cute actually oh wait damn do I like him never ceases to be funny.

Their dialogue in...LoR I think? Where they're throwing the expected threats at each other and then whispering asides planning a date later will never not be cute and funny.

Lux giving them both shit about it will never not be funny.

If you want to take it seriously, Katarina assassinating King Jarvan 3 is a pretty big point of conflict for the relationship if Garen ever finds out.

Garen would be the most boring character in League, Generic WhiteGuy Hero McChonkJaw, if it weren't for the fact that he's a GIGANTIC hypocrite

He's unswervingly devoted to his Duty And Honor as the front man of DEMACIAAAA including when he knows his duty is morally wrong.

But he genuinely loves his sister and has lied all his life to keep her secret safe.

And he's utterly smitten with a dangerous enemy agent who literally assassinated his king.

Katarina is a sexy edgy femme fatale stereotype on legs (and what legs they are) but as depicted in the Kat comic and some of her other material, she's also kind of a goofball and in her own special way, a gigantic faildaughter.

So there's an element that KataGaren is this edgy ship but it's also basically vanilla-flavored enemies-to-lovers and that's sometimes just fine.

And they're also kinda a pair of doofuses who are barely equipped by their respective traumatic nationalist upbringings to navigate whatever's going on between them.

She's got a couple of F/F ships if that's more to your taste and that's totally fine.

But there's nothing wrong with KataGaren and I like it.

WOMAN.

[yarozlav9zz]

VI and Katarina *at the same time*: So you are a badass redhead with freckles how gets into a lot of trouble and are in relationship with al tall, by the book, rich, nobel, law obeying guardian with parental issues who you mess around because you love them and get wrecked in the bed by them...

VI: Cupcake meet my new friend! We have a lot in common...

Caitlyn:*dressed in full uniform with a group of enforcers while holding Katrina's wanted poster* And causing problems is one of them.

[mcnoliap]

I'm weak for the enemy-to-lover trope 🫣

Let me explain myself! In case you didn't follow me or know me before 🫲😆🫱

I am a former TFT and now Golden Spatula player, but I am "not a league player." I started into League lore from Arcane, K/DA (Kai'Sa), and Heartsteel (Sett) and I have started to like Katarina since Welcome to Noxus.

I searched for Garen x Katarina out of curious and here I am 🤣

[sophtzs2]

She looks so good, omg?? I want to see Garen's design so bad 😭 If Noxus and Demacia actually get a show like Arcane and Kat and Garen be written like I think they will, yall will never have peace in my hands, I'll be drawing them every day 🙏

[lamespin]

my katgaren stuff has been getting more traction recently so heres a paintover of a piece i posted a couple months ago

[baimflash1]

Garen x Katarina League Of Legends

[alumi-san]

So from what I gathered Katarina and Lux have a good/decent relationship with each other. Man, it will be so funny to compare their relationship to Jinx and Caitlyn when the Noxus/Demacia spin-off comes out.
