ROUND 4

Propaganda under the cut.

Special Elite: "top secret file typewriter but make it grittier >:]"

Exocet: "The flavor font of choice for the DnD setting books for Planescape, exocet is easy to read, easy to replicate, and just plain fun to look at. Look at that O!"

Mainseries Pokemon characters who can be argued to be bisexual-coded (due to their implied crush on the player)

1. Shauna (Pokemon X and Y)

Kalos takes place in France, and Paris is the city of love. So, in the words of Junichi Masuda, "I wanted to implement some elements of romance with Shauna when playing as a boy and express a deep friendship when playing as a girl."

However, due to the VERY few dialogue changes between female vs male protags (as well as actions Shauna takes that are intended to imply romantic interest being the same across all player types, such as her staying behind with the player in the early-game forest), this can be argued to be unintentional bisexual-coding.

2. Lillie (Pokemon Sun and Moon)

Lillie is implied to have a crush on the player. When the player character is female, on Exeggutor Island, she says, "I want to become a Trainer, and learn all the things you know, Selene..." When the player character is male, she says, "I think... I'd like to become a Trainer, too. And travel together with you, Elio..."

Obviously, the difference between these two dialogues makes it pretty clear that they want her dialogue with Elio to be interpreted as more romantically-inclined. However, much like Shauna, Lillie's actions and dialogue varying VERY little otherwise between female vs male protags can be read as unintentional bisexual-coding.

3. Kieran

Kieran is the first character here to receive absolutely zero dialogue changes across player gender. Additionally, I'd say he's the character that we get the strongest hints regarding romantic feelings towards the player with.

Kieran has multiple moments where he's implied to feel romantically towards the player. These include, but are not limited to:

His sister saying that he's "been all googly-eyed over you" since you met, and that he "wouldn't stop talking about you - even at home. I seriously couldn't get him to shut up." Kieran reacts with embarrassment when she says this to the MC.

Him saying, "You're...you're special," before pausing, then getting embarrassed and rushing to change the subject.

When the MC calls him a friend, he responds, "What?! R-really?! We're friends? F-friends... I feel all tingly and funny hearing that... Ehehe..."

After the MC changes into their festival outfit, Kieran says, "Whoa...", when seeing them for the first time.

The player can even seemingly flirt with Kieran; when Kieran describes letting Ogerpon move into his home, the player can teasingly ask when they, themself, can move in with Kieran.

These are all very common romantic tropes. I think Kieran is the closest thing that we have to a canonically bisexual mainline character at this moment.

4. Carmine

Carmine has a fewer number of specific moments compared to her brother, but she can still be easily read as having feelings for the player.

Her extreme reaction to Drayton asking the player on a date is the best example, with her bringing her hands up to her face, and saying, "A wha-?!" Once Drayton leaves, Carmine continues fuming. (This can also be chalked up to her general dislike towards Drayton and how he can be manipulative, but the fact that it's that request that sets her off specifically makes this also easily read as jealousy.)

And speaking of...

5. Drayton

While, like Kieran and Carmine, Drayton doesn't have any dialogue changes between if the player is male and female, it's not really clear how he actually feels about them.

He tells the player, male or female, that they can go on a cafeteria date to talk, which the game fully acknowledges as a romantic phrase via Carmine's extreme reaction. He also tells the player, "From one charming catch to another..."

This is very obviously him flirting with the player, but, due to his laid-back and just-a-liiittle-bit-sleazy nature, this more so comes across as him trying to tease the player character, rather than anything earnest.

If nothing else, he's at least confirmed to be comfortable with romantically teasing male classmates, which I would consider a win.

I think Dan decides the next season (post-canon) that the Foxes need a pregame/practice playlist. It’s probably one of the best and worst decisions she’s ever made. On one hand it’s gets the Foxes extremely excited and gets them all hyped up. But on the other hand, they get so distracted when music they like is playing that practice can quickly become a mess.

Allison adds ‘Man! I feel like a Women!’ By Shania Twain because she loves that song and she also thinks there’s a chance the rest of them will hate it and she won’t pass that opportunity up.

But no no, the Foxes absolutely love it. It’s comes on for the first time during a summer practice and Nicky and Matt actually scream. Like they’re so excited they immediately stop what they’re doing the moment they hear those opening notes.

Like I can just imagine them using their racquets as microphones and passionately singing to each other. Nicky’s pulling Renee in to dance with him. Matt and Dan are basically having a lip sync battle. Allisons pulling Kevin and Neil into the mix and they both reluctantly join in. Kevins doing an awkward ‘too tall to properly dance’ dance with zero rhythm. And Neil’s just smiling fondly watching them all and mumbling the lyrics he knows.

And Aaron like naturally drifts over to Andrew’s goal out of shock and away from the dance party happening in the middle of the court. When he gets there Andrew just turns to him and deadpans

“Yaknow Aaron, the best thing about being a woman is the prerogative to have a little fun”

Right in time with the music. And it catches Aaron so off guard he genuinely laughs and the corner of Andrew’s mouth quirks up a bit. They spend the rest of the song watching the rest of the Foxes from Andrew’s goal (and flip them off in sync when they try to get them into the middle)

The freshman are so confused why practice has just come to a screeching halt all of a sudden. They just stand on the sidelines, basically gawking at the OG Foxes in the middle, way too scared to join in or say something. The moment the songs over they all snap back into practice mode so quickly that it gives the freshman whiplash. Kevin fucking Day was just dancing to Shania Twain and now he’s yelling at them for standing around and doing nothing.

Anytime the song comes on after that, the Foxes stop whatever they’re doing and have to sing/dance to it. It does not matter what’s happening, it’s like there’s a silent agreement among them all to just go along with it. They’re like sleeper agents and the opening riff of Man! I feel like a Woman! Is their trigger.

Wymack definitely uses this to his advantage. If the team is arguing or having a rough practice or they’re nervous for a game he plays it. And he watches fondly as they all stop arguing or stressing and the biggest, brightest smiles spread across most of their faces (Dan, Matt, Nicky, Renee, Allison) or they just sigh in surrender and start bobbing their heads (Kevin, Aaron, Neil). Even Andrew likes it, he just stays in his goal or off to the side, eyebrows raised in amusement and hums along with the song.

ROUND 2 - GREEN GROUP

Propaganda under the cut.

Capone: "It's used on the California 1982 to 1987 license plate"

Special Elite: "top secret file typewriter but make it grittier >:]"

[deathconsul]

To anyone who see this and like to read asian novels

[doggyjjm]

I've never seen a soul on Earth mention this. hello is anyone there

[shannonsketches]

also REALLY love that super's manga continues the old manga's relationship between Vegeta and his title of Prince as something he's distant/passive with and it's either only brought up by other characters or when he's having a self-worth breakdown

shout out to Toya/Toriyama for using Toei's "I'm the Prince of All Saiyans!" as a line Vegeta throws out when he's intentionally trying to annoy his opponent, I laughed very hard about that

Trest Elite diapers don’t have any cute prints, but they’re so amazing! I definitely recommend it. 🥇🏆
