sometimes the takes I see in the Harley Quinn tag are just beyond stupid.
but fun fact, this is a Straight moment. Cause there's actually just no universes where they read as Gay. None at all. A provable fact.
Batgirl Adventures
c'mon is it gay to be able to Play with your bestie in an implied sexual manner? totally not. Big Straight moment.
Batgirl Adventures
Love calling my straight bestie, as a straight, bay-bee. Nothing to see here, just hets being hets.
Ladies, is it gay to wax poetry about the woman you're going to / just had wild, loud sex with?
"But there is nothing to say.
Because you already know my heart.
I showed you everything--the darkest corners of myself--and you still came back.
What else is love?"
Poison Ivy (2022 - ) #9
"This is my favorite time. When there's absolutely no reason to get up... and I can watch the light change as it moves across your face."
Poison Ivy (2022 - ) #9
DC Love Is Love (2017)
Just some readable platonic heterosexuals in the 2017 Love Is Love comic. (Straight rep matters <3 and they are that. Straight.)
Dark Knights Of Steel #5 - #8
Saying you'd bury an army for her? And then kissing her chapters later? Uh, Het Behavior 🙄
Just a couple of straight besties getting *checks notes* married.
Injustice: Year Zero #8
Calling your bestie your Home, clear and obvious straight behavior.
Harley Quinn (2021 - ) #27
Calling your new bestie "Cherie" and kissing her after she cuts off a loser's hand for you <3 only readably straight behavior.
DC Comics: Bombshells #42
This? Also Straight.
Batman: Wayne Family Adventures EP 67 "Branching Out"
"Harley Quinn's Girlfriend" FRIEND
Case closed.
Just a couple of readably platonic, heterosexual besties.
Ladies, is it gay to have numerous Pride Covers for Pride Month's DC Pride comics together?
DC Pride: Connecting Covers for Harley Quinn (2021 - ) #31 and Poison Ivy (2022 - ) #13 | Artist: Claire Roe
DC Pride (2023)
Gold Foil Variant Cover | Artist: Jen Bartel
Wraparound Variant Cover | Artist: Gabriel Picolo
Harley Quinn (2021 - ) #4 | Pride Card Stock Variant • Artist: Kris Anka
DC Pride 2021
Artist: Jim Lee
Artist: Jen Bartel
DC Pride 2022
Cover B; Swaby Wraparound Variant | Artist: Joshua Sway
Cover D Incentive 1:25; Foil Variant | Artist: Jen Bartel
The DC Book of Pride | Cover by Paulina Ganucheau
We're just imagining all the subtext, coding and flat out confirmations.
We're the illiterate ones ig. Clearly, that's all Straight behavior.
There's nothing in any universe they've ever appeared in that actually reads as Gay, it's all just Bruce Timm and co being horny and thinking Ladies Kissing Hot, and that's IT. all the years worth of content that's not even written by Timm, Conner or Palmiotti is IRRELEVANT!
If you consume any of their comics and read them as Gay, that's on you!

I love love love the fact that Shen Yuan has read danmei novels canonically. Like, yeah, sure, his sister made him read them but like. He KNOWS knows tropes. He KNOWS when he's getting wife plotted. Like. He's almost disappointed when Binghe didn't lock him away in his castle to have his way with him. What kind of novels did he freaking READ. I wanna meet his meimei.

warning this might be a nothing post i'm just a little emotional & rambling but like... i think a lot about hometown showdown and gay and not proud a lot. and i understand this was in the peak of YouTube's fuckery with Dan and disrupting his plans for DINOK so i understand there's like a tension behind a lot of what was ongoing. i also realize that YouTube-- more obviously with hometown showdown-- but generally had strong business rationale for wanting Phil to feature in these videos, with Dan & Phil being the duo of HS and Phil being there in gay and not proud (sorry the acronym for this looks ugly).
but man... i think a lot about how hometown showdown was just kind of a lot of dates. i've not seen the other ones but i hear a lot that they were way more competitive versus Dan and Phil were just casually exploring their hometowns together, showing pieces of themselves to the other. i think about all the dialogue that was cut (that I think was alluded to in WDAPTEO 2?)
and i think about like. the seismic Importance of Phil being in gay and not proud as like... Dan's safe space. the same way he's remote crisis manager, the same way he was part of WAD's pre & post show, the same way he filmed that haircut video basically to promo YWGTTN and Dan is leaving me to talk about WAD. the same way that Dan got a taxi to his place after his nightmare experience at the laundromat to do laundry because "for the first time since I was a tiny child, I actually felt safe."
and after the latest mukbang it's like... it's really insane to me how their personal relationship has continued despite the pressures they've faced as being a comedic influencer duo. the fact that they work as business partners but still have this relationship. the fact that even in these YouTube originals that Dan was resentful of at the time anyway you can still glowingly see how much they love each other. like Phil being in gay and not proud wasn't a cameo, it was a fucking love confession.
i dunno. this is something that's been talked about a Lot but i do think about it frequently. i don't tend to rewatch these specials a lot because Jesus Christ the editing really gets me, but like... idk. "you're next to me in my life," or whatever. 15 years have passed and Phil's still cheerleading for Dan, from his first YouTube video to his first solo tour. i dunno.
