Homoerotic Subtext	comment	Though romance is important in many works, bonds of friendship between those of the same sex form some of fiction's most significant relationships. One common method of playing with these close relationships is to portray them similarly to romantic relationships, though the characters may feel nothing sexual for one another. For example, two male friends may bicker in an exaggerated manner, mirroring how television normally depicts husbands and wives, or one friend may voice jealousy of another with lines lovers normally use. The juxtaposition is often Played for Laughs, especially with male characters. Other such scenes may attempt fanservice, particularly when the characters are the opposite gender of the intended demographic. Rarer, the subtext is Played for Drama, using common romance tropes to heighten the strength of the relationship, although whether this means the writer supports interpretations that the relationship is romantic is usually left ambiguous. In older media, when there were rules forbidding overt displays of homosexuality, writers who wanted to create gay characters would often resort to homosexual subtext. See also Pseudo-Romantic Friendship. Supertrope of Queer Flowers, which concerns floral symbolism as text revealing sexual orientations in subtext. This page covers only intentional examples, chiefly those lampshaded by characters, Word of God, laughter or awkward pauses. It does not cover fans' delight at or tendency to view any interactions as gay; for that, see Ho Yay. It also does not cover any Ship Teases or actual homoerotism, where the characters may indeed be gay or bisexual for each other.

They act like a married couple, and Princess Bubblegum said she had created Lemongrab 2 for Lemongrab "to be with," in a rather suggestive voice. And then in "Too Old" Lemongrab eats Lemongrab 2. Bubblegum and Marceline have all the signs of ex-girlfriends who had a nasty break-up but still want to get back together, starting in "What Was Missing" and expanded on in "Sky Witch", the comics, and Marceline and the Scream Queens. Word of God is that they did use to date, but the threat of Moral Guardians means this will likely never be acknowledged in the show. Spoiler alert: It finally got acknowledged during the series finale.

Literally every pair of the five main girls who get some significant interaction have subtext (and for those that don't interact they have spin-off material, like Mami and Kyoko in The Different Story), while Homura/Madoka is constantly taken to the bleeding edge of subtext and text, especially in Rebellion, where their devotion to each other forms the entire plot. The staff are not only aware of this and toss out Ship Tease like candy, but also occasionally reveal that they ship it too.

Homoerotic Subtext / int_1b4b2f5c	comment	Highschool of the Dead: In the manga version of the bath scene, Rei was incredulous at the sheer size of Shizuka's boobs and had to see if they were real, by groping her, though the readers don't get to see it. Instead, the next panel shows Saya's reaction, while Shizuka's cries of, "not there! â™¥" and "no more! â™¥" are seen from just out of frame. The anime version of the scene differs by showing the audience what Rei's doing. Shizuka is shown bent over the side of the bathtub with Rei fondling her breasts from behind. Though the animation makes it seem that she's doing Shizuka doggy-style, making her breasts appear to be bouncing instead. When Saya looks over her shoulder to see what's going on, her eyes go wide in embarrassment, and she quickly turn back around. Two scenes later, Rei is shown fondling Saeko's breasts, who was mindful to squeeze her thighs shut and cup her hands between her legs. It mainly served to prevent the audience from seeing Saeko's crotch, but also made sense in-series, given Shizuka's earlier cries of "not there".

Most of the time it's hard to point a finger at it though, because with House's personality, any of the sexually loaded comments (including some of the "I'm so gay for you" and "will you marry me" sort) could, and most likely are, just sarcasm so thick it's impossible to say what House actually means. Wilson, again, has learned to sometimes pay House back with the same thing. And in the end, the only thing actually happening between them is friendship and constant teasing; both have heterosexual interests and relationships/activity of their own.

This quickly proved not to be the case, but the show did have some fun with the idea. In one episode, the two tried to bathe a baby, and one ended up singing a love song to the other rather than to the baby. A third character walked in, and this was a case of Innocent Innuendo â€” until he left with the baby and the two chose to stay in the tub together and the song resumed. A few seasons later, the two worked together and tried to convince their boss to let them work from home, saying, "Joey and I... we have a baby together."

Homoerotic Subtext / int_2b3ba9e	comment	Asteroid in Love often applies this as a kind of Ship Tease (especially between Mira and Ao), but occasionally on relationships that are treated as platonic, for laughs: Mira and Ao's first meeting. In no more than a few hours, they not only made The Promise but continues to treasure the person they met, and the promise they made, despite having not seen each other for years before the story started. As a result, Moe declares them Old Flame. In Chapter 7 (animated in Episode 3), both Moe and Misa realize Mira's self-made romance manga always have the Love Interest modelled upon Ao (whom she mistook for a boy for years). The implication of Mira having a crush on Ao, at least before knowing Ao's actually a girl, is not forgotten, since Mira at this point specifically forbids Ao from reading that manga. Ao's With a Foot on the Bus situation is resolved by her living in Mira's house because Misa's room becomes vacant owing to the latter going to college out of town. When Nanami learns the two living under the same roof, her first reaction is accusing the two of being more than just friends. A platonic example: When Mai recalls the first time she met Mikage, it was portrayed in an Art Shift to a Shōjo art style, complete with Bishie Sparkles. But the relationship was literally an "admiration" in the Senpai/KÅ�hai sense, with no further Ship Teases.

In "Nepenthe", the two men are strangers, yet they form an immediate rapport, and they have No Sense of Personal Space with each other. Del Arco promotes Hugh and Elnor as a couple, calling his co-star Evan Evagora as "my Elnor" with three rainbow emojis, which represent the LGBTQ flag. Del Arco reiterates that "we shot the death scene last (same day) at that point it was about [Hugh's] love for Elnor and letting go."

Homoerotic Subtext / int_2ef7cb74	comment	Lyrical Nanoha: Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha plays up the romantic symbolism of Nanoha and Fate's relationship for all it's worth, complete with The Dulcinea Effect and What Beautiful Eyes!, and their final scene crams in nearly every Love Confession trope in the book. Later seasons drop the symbolism and their relationship looks like a married couple, including adopting a daughter together in StrikerS. However, despite Word of Gay from several staff members, there's still some plausible deniability to keep them in the subtext category. The first Compilation Movie cuts all the side plots and most of the secondary characters, focusing more heavily on Nanoha and Fate's relationship than the series did and adding even more symbolism. Meanwhile the second movie not only adds scenes for them that weren't present in the series, but also adds piles for Hayate and Reinforce, making the latter a prominent character from the beginning and expanding on her personality and devotion to the former. It even slips in some Nanoha/Fate/Hayate subtext in the end.

As it turns out, this is because they're the reincarnations of the Sage of the Six Paths younger and older sons, respectively. After Madara finally died, they were reincarnated again — as Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto and Sasuke have this and it's lampshaded often by other characters. There's also the three accidental kisses they had, the Does This Remind You of Anything? moments, the occasional No Sense of Personal Space around each other, and Naruto angsts/thinks quite a bit about Sasuke in Part II. Kakashi and Obito. After his death, Kakashi's guilt caused him to idealize Obito to such an extent that everything in his life revolved around him. He spent years trying to live up to Obito's loyalty to his comrades and kind-hearted nature, and even adopted an entirely new personality and mannerisms to emulate Obito as a memorial to him. Even his chronic lateness is attributed to Obito — not only was Obito similarly late as a kid due to his helpful nature, but also, Kakashi's lateness is because he spends every. single. day. at the Memorial Stone, staring at Obito's name for three hours straight. Obito is the one death Kakashi has never been able to move past, all but making him The Lost Lenore to him. Learning that Obito was Tobi, and thus responsible for nearly every tragedy he and his team (especially Naruto and Sasuke) have suffered over the course of the manga, including their sensei's death, almost breaks him beyond repair. On Obito's end, though he doesn't admit it, Kakashi is equally important to him. Obito's ideal world is not only one where Rin is alive, but also one where his closest friend lived up to the ideals that drove him in his youth. Ino and Sakura's relationship has some of this. There's even a section of Konoha Hiden: The Perfect Day for a Wedding that mentions that they're very close Childhood Friends who work together so well that they practically breathe in sync. They both come to the same store and get the same gift at the same time. It's then stated that if they were a man and a woman, they likely would have fallen in love then and there.

Yosuke pulls Yu out of Mitsuo's Shadow's illusion, and they then look each other in the eye while in Jiraiya's arms. At the end of the episode, Yosuke calls Yu by his first name. Episode 19 has some tension during the group date. Yosuke says that he feels he was "about to cross a line that should never be crossed," and searches frantically for a drink. It gets even better in the English dub where he says that he "has just went to a place he can never come back from". Episode 15 and the Love Hotel, Chie, Yukiko, and Rise in the rotating bed having giggle fits. Something similar happens when Teddie, Yosuke, and Kanji end up in a bed together, except in that case the only one laughing is Teddie.

Homoerotic Subtext / int_43576f5	comment	Supernatural has buckets of this from the very first season although there is ongoing debate as to how much of it was intentional and how much of it was accidental. Show creator Eric Kripke has cited Jack Kerouac's On the Road as one of many early influences on the show and the main characters of that book (Sal and Dean) have lots of sexual tension between them. Making their counterparts in the show brothers didn't seem to scrub the narrative of that dynamic and led to copious amounts of Incest Yay Shipping. It didn't help matters that the brothers were constantly Mistaken for Gay. Depending on the situation (and writer of the individual episode), Dean can appear coded as bisexual. He flirts with a young, male sheriff's deputy at one point, has an obvious crush on the character Dr. Sexy, MD and knows there is a gay bar in Miami called Purgatory. Castiel's affection for Dean is noticeably intense and treated sometimes as a Running Gag and at times a genuine love story. In the final season, Castiel finally admits to being in love with Dean while Dean's feelings are left ambiguous. After Sam asked Balthazar for "angel advice" in 6.11, Balthazar immediately makes a quip about his "boyfriend" and Sam simply responded with "Cas can't help me." Lucifer's attachment to Sam comes off as menacing, stalkerish, and sexual. It pretty much confirmed that he raped Sam during their time in Hell. The demon Crowley is portrayed as a Depraved Bisexual who constantly flirts with men, including both Winchester brothers, mocks Castiel's affection for Dean and in Season 10 appears to develop feelings for Dean.

James McAvoy called the movie a "love story" between Xavier and Magneto, even though when pressed for clarification, he admitted they were not gay.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater increasingly plays up Ocelot's obsession with Big Boss as falling into Stalker with a Crush territory, including Volgin commenting on how he "caught [Ocelot's] eye". Later games reveal that Ocelot devoted decades of his life solely to preserve Big Boss's legacy. Word of God eventually confirms that Ocelot is indeed in love with him, but the games themselves are "only" subtext. Poor Raiden has a habit of picking up Rivals who love being aggressively sexual towards him. Vamp spends much of his screentime in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and MGS4 flirting with Raiden, with one of their fights in the latter being more erotic than some actual sex scenes. Meanwhile, Sam in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance talks about unlocking Raiden's Blood Knight tendencies like it's some sort of sexual awakening, and has Boss Banter lines that wouldn't be out of place in a porno ("Why that's very good. Yes, I like that." "Pretty boy!" "Show me a good time, Jack!") Kaz and Snake are not officially any sort of item, but Hideo Kojima had to fight for them to have extended Almost Kiss shots, and they can date in a semi-canon bonus mission.

Anything that Akira does with Kaoru, he can do with Seiji - go along on a pseudo-date, give them a ride on his bike, listen to them sing, or get a special ending with them. Kakuya is revealed to be madly in love with Akira, and is jealous of both Kaoru and Seiji for being closer to Akira than she is - in the Normal End, she can possess either one of them in her attempt to violently romance Akira. They even bicker Like an Old Married Couple, with Kaoru jokingly calling them 'lovebirds' because of it. All that said, Seiji is more attracted to Akira's aunt, while Akira doesn't show much interest in romance at all.

Homoerotic Subtext / int_7832b74c	comment	Steven Universe has this with nearly every combination of the gems, helped along by there being an actual lesbian couple (Ruby and Sapphire) and Gem fusion being an allegory for relationships (not necessarily romantic, but easily interpretable as such). Aside from Pearl and Garnet acting like Steven's mothers (including arguing about parenting strategies), Pearl is near-constantly sidling up to, latching on to, or clinging to Garnet, and is desperate to fuse with her; just a demonstration of the dance is enough for Pearl to throw her head back with her mouth open and blushing. When they do fuse in Season 2, they blatantly flirt and have a dance that's almost erotic, and it results in a multi-episode arc about how much they love being together, but because Pearl is too dependent she lies to get closer to Garnet, who is furious and hurt at the betrayal. Despite all this, Garnet makes it clear she has no interest in a romantic relationship, since she already is a romantic relationship. Pearl and Amethyst have a dynamic near-identical to every Belligerent Sexual Tension couple out there. An Odd Couple that couldn't be more different, they frequently get into arguments over the tiniest things and get on each others' nerves constantly, but in serious or intense situations they prove that they truly, deeply care for the other and can be amazingly supportive and caring when they put aside their differences, most directly shown in "On the Run". Lapis and Jasper fusing into Malachite is an extended metaphor for a toxic relationship, literally pulling each other down and endlessly hurting the other with their anger and pain while still unable to separate, until they're both warped into someone worse. Then there's "Alone at Sea", which plays this as creepily and blatantly as possible with the abusive treatment. Lapis hates Jasper and frequently tells Steven she doesn't deserve to be happy and is a terrible person while admitting she misses Jasper. Meanwhile, Jasper has been stalking Lapis across the ocean looking for her, begging and intimidating her into fusing as Malachite again, complete with saying word-for-word "it'll be different this time! I've changed, you've changed me!" while having body language painfully accurate of husbands/wives about to hurt a spouse. While both have done terrible things to each other, Lapis was the first to be forced into making the fusion, and admits she never wants to go back to the way they were. In-Universe, Peridot perceives this as existing between characters Pierre and Percy in the show Camp Pining Hearts.

Lenna offhandedly mentions that Priss could be in danger if she ran into the boomer without her suit, prompting Sylia to drop all pretense and immediately head for the changing room to suit up in order to save her, while Lenna and Nene have a giggle fit.

Some of this has to do with cut content; Ashley and Kaidan were originally planned to be romance options regardless of Shepard's gender in Mass Effect, and a romance route for Tali and FemShep was scrapped for Mass Effect 2, the lingering effects of which can still be seen (Kaidan at least became a romance option for MaleShep as well as FemShep in Mass Effect 3).

They had significant homoerotic subtext right from the start, with Ivy regularly trying to get Harley out of her abusive relationship with the Joker and both of them showing a great deal of physical affection to each other and emotional intimacy. The Harley Quinn solo title from the New 52 era on started with this and then moved on to suggestive dialogue implications of them being into a sexual relationship, Sexy Discretion Shots, and finally on-page kissing and them being an acknowledged couple.

In "Nepenthe", the two men are strangers, yet they form an immediate rapport, and they have No Sense of Personal Space with each other. Del Arco promotes Hugh and Elnor as a couple, calling his co-star Evan Evagora as "my Elnor" with three rainbow emojis, which represent the LGBTQ flag.

How about that dialogue mention of their sharing baths? Not enough?

Citan is very jealous of anyone he thinks Fei has slept with - from the doctor in Nocturne/Nortune he replaced to Elly herself. Still not enough? Fei's alter Id tells Citan he likes him - which is something from a being that only knows hatred and violence as a language. Rico and Hammer. Although it is an abusive relationship, their interactions are pretty much "supertext." A rejected concept for the game included the idea of the Elements bonding through sex with each other. Seeing as the first round was all men and the second is all female except for one man... It's heavily implied that Citan as Hyuga and Sigurd were a couple in Jugend, and one of the creators once drew official art of them as a couple.

Homoerotic Subtext / int_9d80bbcf	comment	Pathfinder: Kingmaker: Party member Linzi is not a romance option for either gender Player Character and she never outright states that she is gay. However, from the dialogues it is clear that she harbors a crush on Valerie, with her writing constantly bringing up her heavenly beauty (doomed to failure if she'd tried to pursue it, since Valerie is straight). She also becomes flustered around Annamede Belavarah if taken along to the Rushlight Tournament, to a degree that goes way beyond being simply starstruck, and is stated to have failed her exams because of her presence prior to the game's start. She also flirts with Octavia in Campside banters, and is offered to join a threesome with her, but ends up too flustered to accept. Linzi's writer confirmed during a Q&A session that she was intentionally written as a lesbian.

The movie basically crosses into pornography as most of the male cast goes out of its way to either make out with each other or have on-screen sex. In order to get the movie made, they decide edit out the content and deliver to the producers, only to find out the producers actually expect the gay stuff in it, as they shoot the movie with it and edit out the outright sex and make outs in order to keep the subtext in those movies. Except on France, on France they show the whole thing.

Might be a case of Early-Installment Weirdness, since Doc and Brock's relationship wasn't exactly homoerotic. Pete and Billy, on the other hand... The Doc/Brock subtext was a reference to a perceived Benton/Race subtext in the original Jonny Quest cartoon, which was spoofed in Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law too. Dean's naivite also led him to describe Dermott as Hank's "boyfriend", causing Trianna to say Hank's finally out.

Homoerotic Subtext / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: In the original Final Fantasy VII, Cloud and Barret have a sort of Can't Live with Them, Can't Live Without Them frenemy relationship that occasionally shows moments of sincere affection - occasionally too sincere, as the developers occasionally have fun making them flirt for comic effect. Later Final Fantasy VII material has focused much more on the erotic elements of the relationship between Cloud and Sephiroth, who fits comfortably in the trope of the sexually threatening Gothic villain. In Final Fantasy XIII, Fang and Vanille live and die for each other, getting to eventually spend the rest of their lives together in the ending. Fang was originally intended to be a male character who would be Vanille's love interest, but she was changed to female in development without removing the romantic elements. However, the game's lack of focus on romantic involvement makes this mostly subtextual. The Cast Full of Pretty Boys of Final Fantasy XV was played up like this in the marketing, and the characters break the fourth wall to tease each other about this on occasion. However, the biggest example is Ignis, who is almost certainly gay, though nothing has ever been confirmed. In Episode Ignis, Ignis is fascinated by Noctis, has Gaussian Girl flashbacks about almost holding his hand, is willing to burn his own soul to death in order to protect Noct, and the other characters tease him about his lack of interest in Ardyn in such a way that implies that the issue isn't that Ardyn is male. Some official Valentine's Day promo art depicted Ignis' Valentine as (the male) Ravus.

Arisugawa's neighbour mistakes them for a couple when she spots Himura entering Arisugawa's apartment. When Himura serves Arisugawa breakfast during a tough case, Arisugawa quips that he feels like a newlywed. In the "Study in Vermilion" case, Mutobe confesses to Arisugawa that he harbours unrequited love for Akemi, which Arisugawa compares to his own feelings towards Himura. The final episode has the duo attempting to categorise their relationship, settling eventually on an inseparable bond that's stronger than friendship. Nothing explicit ever comes from the teasing, however.

While the preface page to chapter 45 plainly shows them engaged in foreplay, while spooning together in lingerie. In the anime, Yuuka is seen groping her during the beach party in episode 13 (they were both drunk). And when Usui was made principal of the school and ordered the girls to bodypaint each other, Yuuka chose Takaki. She paints her midriff, but the overhead camera angle and Takaki's moaning makes it appear she's going down on her.

Homoerotic Subtext / int_afd1e4d2	comment	The Kids on the Slope anime is full of this, specifically between Sentaro and Kaoru. Even though the main characters eventually each have their own female Love Interests, they have an equal amount of Fanservice with each other: In Episode 1, the scene when Kaoru first meets Sentaro is blatantly ripped-off from some shoujo manga, complete with the pink background and the line "So, you have come to take me". It is explained later in the manga that Sentaro thought that Kaoru was an angel who've come to take him away in his nap, not helped by how Kaoru has been known as having a 'pretty face' according to Ritsuko (which she corrected into 'handsome' right away). Sentaro and Kaoru constantly bicker in exaggerated manners, even though they actually get along pretty well, as stated by Ritsuko. Kaoru throws a fit when Sentaro agrees to play music with another man! (Rock and roll, no less. The horror!) There are many scenes in which Sentaro has no sense of space around Kaoru, including patting his head or shoulders, trying to share a jacket with him to shelter from rain, or pining him down to his bed in a serious manner, much to Kaoru's surprise. Kaoru once literally states that Sentaro is so good-looking, he sometimes takes his breath away.

In the anime Kosame develops a Psycho Lesbian-type attraction towards Kirie after she fights her. Also, Hijiri has been obsessed with Miharu since childhood but after being defeated by Kirie in a fight she starts lusting after her instead. They both express their affections towards Kirie by resorting to attempted Black Comedy Rape. The second episode of season two features an all-girl kickbocking tournament set up by ultra pervert, yuri fanboy Fukuyama. Then there's the mud wrestling match between Kosame and Kirie who both wear nothing save for skimpy white bikinis. Lots of muddy groping ensues. Also, Kosame gets close to Kirie, blushes, tells her "I do hope that you can satisfy me" and kisses Kirie on the cheek and later on her lips.

Even Episode 3 still shows Alicent trying to mend her bridge with Rhaenyra—with their interactions inadvertently coming off as a mutual case of Woman Scorned—likelier to give their coming conflict at the Dance a very tragic edge.

It's not just Nobunaga that Hideyoshi gets homoerotic subtext with, either; his Vitriolic Best Buds relationship with Mitsuhide is reminiscent enough of Belligerent Sexual Tension that on one route when they're making up after a bitter fight, the main character thinks while watching them, "Come on, you two, kiss already."

Homoerotic Subtext / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: Several of the Sylvester McCoy-era stories include homoerotic subtext between many of the minor characters as part of the series' turn towards the political during this time, often involving main character Ace. In particular, "The Curse of Fenric" and especially "The Happiness Patrol" contain significant subplots as allegories for queer rights. The running case of Ace and her Girl of the Week in several episodes, including "The Curse of Fenric", and "Survival", the latter of which was intentional on the author's part and even censored a bit by The BBC. The new series delights in this, occasionally taking it right into homoeroticism. The friendship between the Eleventh Doctor and Craig is the best example played to the letter, to the point where they get Mistaken for Gay by everybody. Whilst the Doctor/Master Foe Romance Subtext has always existed, Scream of the Shalka and the Tenth Doctor episodes took it further than it had ever been. Paul Cornell confirmed that the Doctor and the android Master were an item in Scream of the Shalka, while Russell T. Davies has confirmed on multiple times that he believes the two to be almost soul mates, which is part of what makes it so tragic. Steven Moffat has also admitted to shipping them, going so far as to get them together at the end of the parody Doctor Who: The Curse of Fatal Death, after the Doctor regenerates into a woman, and to have them kiss in the main series story "Dead Water"/"Death In Heaven" after the Master regenerates into a woman. The Thirteenth Doctor and Yaz have had many moments that could be interpretated as this, and fans often make comparisons between them and the Tenth Doctor/Rose; the subtext only grows stronger within the books, especially in the story 'The Maze of Doom'. "Eve of the Daleks" reveals a lot of it, if not all, actually is romantic on Yaz's part (although she hadn't let herself realise it before), while Thirteen is studiously Not Letting On she knows about Yaz's feelings.

Homoerotic Subtext / int_d194b2db	comment	Death Stranding: Sam and Deadman have a shower scene together. They are fully clothed, and it's done so they can exchange top secret information without being recorded (the shower stall is the only place without cameras), but the lenghts they go to to make anyone potentially observing them believe they are actually having sex is almost excessive: Deadman invites Sam into the shower stall, only to then pin him there with his arm and press his face as close to Sam's as possible. In one of the later shots, we can see that Sam was actually briefly pressed chest first into the wall, facing away from Deadman. They keep standing incredibly close to eachother, even when the walls of the stall go dark and it's almost impossible that someone can see them. Sam is afraid of touch, so he keeps squirming and bashfully averting his face from Deadman.

He even gives Makoto the Affectionate Nickname "Edamame." However, the show stops just shy of confirming whether this is something he does just to mess with Makoto, or if he's actually in love/lust with his protege. The closest it comes to a confirmation one way or another is when Laurent tries to flirt with his compatriot Cynthia, and she replies that she "Thought Edamame was [his] favorite." However, it's ambiguous as to whether she's just teasing him back, or whether she thought he was genuinely more attracted to Makoto. Either way, Laurent stays mum, leaving the whole matter as subtext.

Homoerotic Subtext / int_de6659ec	comment	Once Upon a Time has a shocking amount of Foe Romance Subtext between Emma and Regina, that eventually turns into straight up Homoerotic Subtext when the latter makes a Heelâ€“Face Turn. The first half of Season 4 has Emma attempting to rebuild her friendship with Regina, in pretty much the same way a lover would. One episode has a flashback to Emma's childhood about a friendship that went south - said friendship being incredibly charged with romantic undertones - and it's paralleled to Emma's current stance with Regina. The fact that Regina is the adoptive mother of Emma's son Henry has led to a couple of jokes about Henry having two mothers, which is certainly no coincidence. It's by far the most popular ship on the show, named 'Swan Queen'. The fact of Henry having two mothers has by now become canon. It has even been referred to multiple times by the characters themselves.

While the Bromantic Foil is a pretty common character archetype, in real life his one-minded dedication to the protagonist's happiness might seem a little suspect. So Nozaki and Mikoshiba decide to make a Fix Fic where he finally gets a girlfriend of his own so he's not spending all of high school helping out a friend at the cost of himself. They look through the list of girls in the Dating Sim, but once again realize that the only character that makes sense for him as a love interest is the protagonist. Nozaki basically worships the ground Ken walks on because he's so thrilled to have a competent editor. In the process, he's more anxious around him and willing to please than he would be for his girlfriend, if he had one. Sakura is baffled, especially since Ken clearly dislikes him.

Homoerotic Subtext / int_dff787e5	comment	In Born of Bread, the final cutscene of Yagi's personal quest has strong romantic undertones with Kakoi: Kakoi tells Yagi that he's spent all his time looking for something special when the one he needed was right in front of him all along, he tells Yagi he needs him, and he promises to wait for Yagi to finish his quest... But he's talking about opening a dojo with him. It nonetheless is treated like an Anguished Declaration of Love. Given that Yagi is a Stock Shōnen Hero Genre Refugee, and Kakoi is a straight-up Sasuke expy, it's one big parody of the Ho Yay-laden nature of many shonen hero/rival relationships. Further cementing its parody status is the fact that their mentors are an actual gay married couple; in other words, if the game was going to make it text, it would have.

How about that dialogue mention of their sharing baths? Not enough?

Citan is very jealous of anyone he thinks Fei has slept with - from the doctor in Nocturne/Nortune he replaced to Elly herself. Still not enough?

In one episode, while Marshall and Lily were still broken up, Marshal finds a new guy friend in a similar situation and they get the idea to do things together that the would normally only be allowed to do with girlfriends, like having brunch. Marshall gets much teasing from the rest of the gang and he eventually gets uncomfortable with how much this feels like a real relationship.

Homoerotic Subtext / int_f10a65b	comment	Although many characters on Legends of Tomorrow are gay or bisexual, the series is still full of this between characters who have not both canonically indicated interest in the same gender. In season one, Leonard Snart and Mick Rory are partners in crime, and very close friends. Although it's later revealed that Snart is bisexual and in an alternate universe is engaged to a man, the way that Rory reacted to Snart's death suggested that they were very close. Many fans saw this in Rory and Ray Palmer during Season Two. Ray and Nate Heywood have a lot of this, including frequent comments on how attractive the other is, and really enjoying hugging each other. There was also the moment where Nate ended up revealing to his dad that he was a superhero, while holding a stark naked Ray in a bridal carry. Zari has mentioned that she thinks Charlie is hot. Gary Greene and John Constantine, although it was implied shortly after that they did start sleeping together after the end of that episode.
