Blake and Yang from RWBY

Love the Magirevo finale for screaming GAY in your face every opportunity it can
First Euphie showering Anis with a friggin' Pride beam while screaming "THIS IS WHAT YOU AWAKENED IN ME!"
It sure was.
Then the kiss
Then having Euphie make sure to clarify "I kissed you because I love you"
but no even that is not enough
Euphie has to say "ANIS I LOVE YOU IN A LESBIAN GAY HOMOSEXUAL WAY. ANIS I AM PINNING YOU DOWN TO A BED. ANIS THIS IS A YURI ROMANCE AND IT IS NOT REMOTELY CLASS S. DO YOU UNDERSTAND".
You could argue this is all to show despite her boldness about her orientation and earlier flirting Anis was deeply insecure about ever being accepted loved back but it also definitely is "i don't want any of you goons watching to misinterpret this" and that is incredibly funny.
They also really want you to know Euphie is a top.
Then Anis tells Euphie she will become immortal to be with her forever as rainbows appear around their hands.
then fly, dance in the air and make a rainbow that covers the entire kingdom and showers the kingdom in sparkles. They are gay and so is their kingdom ruled by gay queens
(and then they kiss again)
Incredible.

Always been lowkey fascinated by the parallels and contrasts between IFTV and MagiRevo because they tackle the genres they're trying to queer with almost diametrically opposed approaches to arrive at a common conclusion? IFTV's all about knowledge and certainty, about a protagonist who is almost completely aware of how everything in the story she currently inhabits will play out and how simultaneously empowering and constrictive that can be to a queer identity that yearns for stability and grounding, while also being keenly aware of how sharply the lines between tolerance and exile, a happy present and an inevitable future are drawn, and daring to properly imagine something new, to flip the script and turn the destined into the daring. On the other hand, MagiRevo's all about uncertainty and the chaotic, of a protagonist who's empowered not because of what she knows, but because of what she doesn't, and the newfound faith and hope she can foster in a world where nothing is set in stone and anything can be possible, which also then transitions into a story about how brutally hierarchy and hegemony creates dynamics of insiders and outsiders, and the importance of queer identity being grounded not only in maverick individual excellence, but also in a community that can offer love, support and stability.
Despite and because of this, both tales arrive at a declaration that all queerness is revolutionary and no revolution can exclude the queer, that the act of being gay is necessarily mutinous, and that to find lasting bliss and stability, you must love dangerously and imaginatively, embrace the subversive and villainous, and write legends from promises and dreams. Truly the kind of range that makes you think, "Girlgods, how I love yuri."
Anyway, enjoy the scrimblos.
