Iconic Homoerotic Betrayal: Round 2

Round 2 Directory

Context:

Lelouche/Suzaku

Summary by Anonymous Contributor

szll is already iconic but I'm just going to list all their betrayals (and perceived betrayals) as a refresher:

(first, for context, one thing you gotta understand is lelouch, leader of the rebellion who believes ends justify the means, is also the discarded prince of the empire he's fighting against. suzaku, rising knight of the empire who believes means have to justify the ends, is the son and killer of the prime minister of the country being oppressed. this is PEAK narrative foils and enemies-to-lovers recipe right there.)

- lelouch and nunnally were sent to japan as political hostages. britannia takes over japan quickly after and lelouch, knowing how much japan means to suzaku, promises to destroy britannia. suzaku should be angry at britannia! lelouch will free them!! except years later he learns that suzaku is now WORKING for the empire? he's becoming a KNIGHT for the empire, betraying his own country and their shared hatred for britannia. what the fuck, what happened to principles, suzaku? this is lelouch's first (perceived) betrayal.

- lelouch (accidentally) kills euphemia, the only princess who's trying to make peace with the japanese, the princess that suzaku is knight of, the princess suzaku LOVES and lelouch adores. now yes, this was an accident, but lelouch ROLLS WITH IT and lets suzaku and the rest of the world believe that it was intentional, thus fully driving that knife deep. he never tells suzaku this was an accident. this is suzaku's most painful betrayal.

- suzaku finds out lelouch is zero, leader of the rebellion, and turns him in to his evil dad, emperor of the empire, in exchange for becoming a knight of round (the highest military status). now if you count akito the exiled as canon, this also means sending lelouch to be BRAINWASHED into serving the empire as a master tactician before R2 happens. suzaku monitors him all throughout, watching lelouch destroy nations and praise the empire against his own principles.

this is just season one of code geass. this doesn't even touch how suzaku is also forced to betray his own loyalties/principles sometimes whenever the "live" geass that lelouch condemns him with acts up. how suzaku would monitor lelouch and keep deceiving him that rolo is his beloved sibling, not nunnally. etc etc.

AND YET despite all of this, code geass culminates with them SWEARING LOYALTY to each other, with lelouch becoming the demon emperor and suzaku becoming his right-hand man, the knight of zero. lelouch becomes a tyrant that suzaku is destined to kill. lelouch brings peace to the world but will never be able to live in it. he will always be remembered as the dictator, the scourge of the world. suzaku atones for all his sins by being reduced to a heroic symbol, by being punished to kill his best friend and never becoming suzaku the person ever again. with the "live" geass, he is cursed to never die, never to escape, always bearing both of their sins -- the eternal punishment he has been seeking. and by killing lelouch, he is able to avenge euphemia in the end, and bring the peace all three of them desired.

code geass is a hot mess but there is poetry in their betrayals. they are thematically bound to live this tragedy, and that is why they are iconic. the ending of code geass is well-known and highly regarded as one of the most iconic endings ever, and it can only ever be so because it stands on the love and loss and betrayals of suzaku and lelouch.

Charles/Erik

Summary by @sing-the-beginning-of-moana

it was love at first sight. they got together and were happy for a while until erik caused charles to feel the excruciating pain of dying (without actually dying), tried to kill hundreds of people, accidentally paralyzed charles, and then abandoned him altogether. and that's just the first movie. repeat with the same sort of behavior and constant breaking up and getting back together for the next several decades.

suzululu yuri <3

People who hate Euphemia just because she "got in the way" of Suzalulu are so fucking boring because 1.) BOOO you're just a woman hater and 2.) Their relationship dynamic is SO much more interesting as unrequited love from Lelouch that has been there ever since they were kids, that Suzaku only ever even considered reciprocating by the time that Lelouch had laid out his plans for Zero Requiem. The pining, the timing being all wrong, the deep overwhelming love vs the hatred that has been festering within Suzaku this whole time. And then finally, all these feelings rearing their ugly head once again during Lelouch of the Resurrection, but then love being the most predominant one?? What the fuck ever you guys are boring and wrong if you think Suzaku and Lelouch should've been together any time before Lelouch started enacting Requiem.

suzululu for the heart

[krn-art]

Mature for themes.

Chobits x Code Geass crossover no one asked for except that CLAMP worked on both so here you go. Suzululu for your crops. Its so silly and corny to me so I had to share. I am cringe but I am free.

Calling for Context Write-ups

I'm accepting betrayal context blurbs to include with the polls for round 2. (You know, the same as what I had under Readmore for round 1.) I'll pick what I think is the most concise/informative to include with each ship, and release the rest in a spreadsheet the same way I did with the nominations.

If I've already included your submission for round 1, please feel free to resubmit it with your username so I can properly credit you this time. If you would like to remain anonymous but want me to continue to use your context blurb from your nomination, drop a note in the submission anyway, so I have proper permission this time.

The following bolded pairs still have no writeups submitted:

Anakin/Obi-Wan vs. Sasuke/Naruto

Griffith/Guts vs. Anthy/Utena

Akechi/Joker vs. John Silver/James Flint

Bill Cipher/Ford Pines vs. Homura/Madoka

Judas/Jesus vs. Geto/Gojo

Lelouche/Suzaku vs. Erik/Charles

Brutus/Caesar vs. Joshua/Neku

Hannibal/Will vs. Terezi/Vriska

While I'm happy to receive long essays, I suggest keeping in mind how much a stranger is willing to read before they just click on an option. I'll include the best ones I get but longer essays may actually hurt your chances when it comes to context-blind/undecided voters.

thank you for rbing suzululu i just rewatched code geass and you are helping to make me insaner

Good, I go through this process every year or so where I rewatch the show and am reminded of how insane I am over these two tragic gay bitches and am desperately trying to get more people or to remind people that they're perfect

[clockworkspider]

I wanna campaign for Cherik for @homoeroticbetrayal bracket but since I'm an anime blog most of my followers will see the post and vote suzululu by default and I'm gonna be the clown...
