Arcane is vi gay
I’m not quite sure what I expected Arcane to be, but I didn’t expect it to be an epic sci-fi adventure about found family, gay badasses, and underground rebellion. And yet, to my delight, that’s exactly what it was.
All I really knew about Arcane going into it was that it was aesthetically pleasing and related to the video game League of Legends, which I’ve never played. And, based on the specific people who were enthusiastically recommending/insisting/begging that I watch it, I assumed it was also a little queer, at the VERY least in a subtexty way.
The optimal way I can illustrate this show is that it is like a montage of all the best cut scenes in a video game. The graphics and fluid motions and possibly impossible and fantastical acrobatics and clash maneuvers are all reminiscent of a well-made new video game. Which, I mean, all makes feeling, because it’s based on one, but you just have to watch a trailer for the Sonic live-action movie to understand that not all cross-media adaptations stay faithful to the vibes of the source material.

Arcane Is Gayer Than I Ever Expected It To Be
Vi and Caitlyn rest at the centre of Arcane, their relationship helping give the world of Runeterra a level of humanity that few others in the show possess managed. They begin as rivals - two women hailing from polar reverse backgrounds, their views on society as a whole juxtaposed in a way that makes their noticeable chemistry so satisfying to witness.
Their distrust evolves into intimacy, both of them chained together towards a destiny they’re unable to avoid as they try to find Jinx and uncover the truth behind Silco’s twisted criminal empire. Given Riot Games’ history I expected them to remain gals being pals, even after the second act saw them chat up and bicker in a way that eventually leads to romance.

As I sat down to watch the concluding act I feared these feelings would be thrown aside as playful queerbaiting, but instead I was met with a stern queer relationship that blossomed into something meaningful and unexpected, with Vi and Caitlyn confiding in one another despite the differences that define them. Yet part of me feels li
Arcane Season 2 Just Made All Of My Male lover Dreams Come True
Arcane is over, and now my life has no interpretation. The second season reached its climax this weekend, concluding Riot’s first animated foray into the planet of Runeterra. The concluding trio of episodes had so much ground to cover and so many character arcs to wrap-up, but it did the impossible and managed it, leaving viewers with the right kind of lingering questions and just enough answers to feel satisfied. It was also incredibly fruity.
Several key plot threads were held together by relationships both familial and romantic, with Caitlyn, Vi, Ekko, Jinx, Jayce, and Viktor reaching the terminal moments of their arcs with people they cared for deeply standing alongside them. Few were left alone, and if they were, this decision was made of their hold volition. So let’s dive into exactly what makes that so queer.
Caitlyn and Vi Were The Endgame Couple We All Hoped They Would Be
All the lesbians who have spent the past several years wishing for a Caitlyn and Vi sex scene had their prayers answered with the final act of season 2. The eighth episode saw Jinx evade her prison cell and leave Vi
League of Legends is one of the most widespread games in the nature these days, with an extremely deep roster of playable Legends, and more and more spin-off games that are introducing more details about the lore and characters of the world of Runeterra. As we’ve learned more about these League of Legends characters, several of them have been revealed to identify along the Homosexual spectrum. With as many as there are, this makes sense statistically.

Varus/Valmar and Kai – Gay
Varus is actually the product of two soldiers, Valmar and Kai, accidentally fusing their bodies together with the liveliness of an ancient darkin. Kai was mortally wounded in a battle, and desperate to save his lover, Valmar threw both of them into a magical well in hopes that it would preserve Kai. Instead, it turned out that the adequately was a prison for the darkin spirit, which took both men’s bodies and fused them with its spirit to get a physical incarnation of vengeance, Varus. This creation is detailed in the “As We Fall” tune video.
