I finally found the source for the interview between Satomi Tadashi and Kazuma Kaneko (main writer and artist) where they literally call Tatsuya and Jun gay - (”homo” - english loan word). It’s from the Innocent Sin World artbook (pub. in 2000). Here is the translation, and here is a link to the artbook. It’s on page 32. It’s not like this is anything new, but I feel like it’s important to have the original text onhand when sharing stuff like this! Translation under the cut for ease of access/archival purposes:
— What do you think Jun thinks of Lisa and Tatsuya’s relationship?
SATOMI: I think he wants Lisa to be a bit more gentle with Tatsuya.
KANEKO: She’s really got a jealous nature, doesn’t she? “Shaddup, woman.” Didn’t everyone expect Jun to say that?
And then he’d say “Tatsuya, hold my hand a little bit tighter please.”
SATOMI: Well, everyone is free to think what they like about that. *laugh* Personally, I don’t think he’s necessarily gay.
KANEKO: Jun isn’t gay…but he likes Tatsuya, right?
SATOMI: He likes him. If Tatsuya asked, “Do you like me?” Jun would say, “I like you!”
KANEKO: Tatsuya would ask “Do you like me”?
SATOMI: I think he’d ask like that.
KANEKO: I think he’d say something like “What do you think of me?” And then Jun would say, “I like you!”
SATOMI: If Jun said something like that, he would turn his back and seem happy.
KANEKO: Who would?
SATOMI: Tatsuya would.
KANEKO: Tatsuya would turn his back and say, “You do?” happily? Well then, he’s gay, isn’t he!
SATOMI: *laugh* …that’s why I said that everyone can think as they like about that issue.
KANEKO: Well, I don’t know much about that field, anyway. I’ll have to do a little more homework. Hey, does Jun have thick hair?
SATOMI: It’s not thick.
KANEKO: And Tatsuya’s hair isn’t thick either?
SATOMI: Right. So even if it gets tangled together, they’ll be okay.
(NOTE: This refers to old, old literary references in which two people slept together in the same bed, so close together that their hair got tangled together.)
KANEKO: What, so they really are gay. I see, so they’re gay, huh…Well, then Jun’s probably thought of assassinating Lisa? By setting some sort of trap for her…

(click for higher quality!) draconified link concept ive been chipping away at this past week ..... here's my funny little compendium concept for him:
"A heroic spirit has taken the form of this bestial dragon. Unlike it's kin, this creature exhibits an extremely aggressive disposition. It appears highly territorial, and will relentlessly chase down those who disturb its skywide patrols - of which it seems to be endlessly searching for either a long-time vassal or foe. Unfortunately, it seems the spirit within has long since forgotten exactly who it was looking for…"

Do u still have that height chart u made of all the characters? Im trying to find references, no prblem if u dont!!!
You might be referring to my old one, but this is my updated one! Forgive the hastily doodled on clothes - this is also my body type/scar/tattoo/etc/general ref sheet, and while I've posted it without the colors before, it feels weird posting it with colors cause for some reason then it looks like theyre all naked, lol. Ref sheets are funny that way. So doodled on clothes it is.

the opening lines of the shadow of the erdtree trailer remind me a LOT of a certain quote from another game:
and with this in mind, i really hope that the direction they go with miquella is less like the manipulative griffith-esque archetype some people are theorizing, and more like N’s characterization in pokemon black and white: someone very intelligent and powerful but naïve, whose honest attempts at creating a better world might bring about more destruction in the end.
