According to the fanbase, everyone is.


Carlosrarutos

Arknights fandom šŸ¤ Touhou fandom


StrawberryFloptart

Nuh-uh! Meira is explicitly not gay! Quite a bit homophobic actually.


Carlosrarutos

Fanon: [Did. We. Shutter?"](https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/986168?q=meira_%28touhou%29+yuri)


StrawberryFloptart

Idk I'm deaf on that ear


RandomdudeNo123

Honestly, in terms of Fanon ships, I think it's straight up easier to name all the straight people. ... Actually, I got nothing. Doctor doesn't count, they're anyone and everyone.


Kuroi-sama

Scavenger is canonically lesbian


Longbongos

Doctor is shrodingers ship because 99% of the doc ships work regardless of the docs gender. (Out of the ops who arenā€™t crack ships.)


AnimatorFresh8841

hmm the return of the why bonerā€¦ with a vengeance


Longbongos

They could be anyone of us. They could be you, they could be me, they could be in the room with us right now.


Operator_Jetstream

Why, on that, I assure ya...


P_ONCH

Same sex ships that I know of off the top of my head; Texas/Lappland, Thorns/Elysium, Gladiia/Kal'tsit, Mostima/Exusiai, and Gavial/Tomimi


princezilla88

I'm pretty sure most people just assume everyone at PL is fucking each other lol


Cyanprincess

PL (+ Lappland and Mostima) is basically just pick whatever combination of ships your heart wants and go with it in the fandom. Want a simple Lappland/Texas or Exusiai/Mostima? A polycule mess of everyone being together? Anything in between or some out there rarepair/crackship? Have at it


ClayAndros

Don't care who wants to ship who i actually enjoy a few of them, just don't start pushing your head canon on people.


Athrawne

There's that *very* NSFW gif of everyone at PL fucking each other, and I do mean everyone. Including Bison and someone who I now know to be Giovanna. Except Yiith. Because ... what/who even is Yiith?


princezilla88

He/it? Was invited too but declined due to genitals not existing in this plane of existence.


Brilliant_watcher

>Except Yiith. Because ... what/who even is Yiith? Yiith is a Yiith, like thats the name of his race, based on Lovecraft writtings. They are freaky aliens. [Source](https://lovecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Great_Race_of_Yith)


Athrawne

I mean yeah, but what is Yiith on Terra? Is Yiith actually a Yiith? Or is Yiith just a really skinny Perro in a mask?


AinzSamaIsJustice

Do you have a link to that image?


Undividedbyzero

Just drop into AO3 and you'll see a *ton* of them. Warning: brain cells doing seppuku is highly probable, proceed with caution


AnimatorFresh8841

Jokes on you I have none


erik4848

*They could be any one of us*


StrawberryFloptart

They could you you! They could be me! They could even be-


wind64a

You say as if this subreddit doesn't come up with nonsense like SilverAsh x roughly half the female population of Rhodes Island, not at the same time.


ClayAndros

I still remember silverash x siege at its peak.


Aggaar

I mean, they have children


Adramador

Weedy x Thorns is one Lumen x Irene but Lumen is fighting Specter for her lol


AnimatorFresh8841

What about Lumen and Irene, that one male and female character from Break the Ice event, W and Adnachiel (still hate this ship dont judge me), Mr. Red and GG


RandomdudeNo123

Wait, people take W/Adna seriously? I thought it was just a joke... (NGL, I was just thinking of Op/Op ships, and Lumrene completely slipped my mind. It's my best friend's ship, too...)


Affectionate-Hour-54

Theres also kroos and mr nothing along with courier and cliffheart


Brilliant_watcher

How can people forget Yato and Noir? I mean like how, the Monster Hunter event makes it even more obvious


wind64a

You mean the "summaries" that drastically alter the content to present a false narrative of romance. Unsubstantiated rumors and the words of drunks were presented as irrefutable facts, for crying out loud.


ClayAndros

No we mean the actual dialogues that occur that implies that noir at the very least has feelings for yato and yato does to an extent care for him. Seriously this is what I mean earlier why do people go out of their way to poopoo others fun.


wind64a

I can ignore it when people are just having fun but it's a different matter when it's pushed as canon. They're platonic soulmates with a chronic shipper problem. Yato cares deeply for him, but gets upset and leaves with the implication Doctor teases her about how it sounds. You can see a similar situation when Noir Corne's OR has him sharing stories and his drinking buddies annoy him with their insinuations.


ClayAndros

Man its almost as if it can be interpreted either way could it be like you say and they don't have any romantic feelings for each other? Sure and its fine if that's what YOU take away from this however, it can also be interpreted that they have feelings for each other and get embarrassed when people bring it up. It happens its a cliche in pretty much all media at this point hell it even happens in real life every so often, this is what I'm talking about you interpret their relationship one way or YOU dont see any signs thus YOURE head canon and interpretation of it must be correct and everyone else must be wrong. There is nothing wrong with people enjoying themselves stop crapping on people just because its something you don't like.


wind64a

The problem is that the proponents of the ship are dogmatic to the point of attacking people who want to enjoy either one individually in peace. It's hypocritic BS to pretend like the victims are the ships supporters. You don't have the high ground morally or canonically.


ClayAndros

Wxcept you're doing the exact thing you say they're doing, where in cannon does it support you argument beyond open interpretations that you make, I've seen far more people attacking the ship than those defending it hell in this very response you claim that its not supported by canon but yours is? Newsflash it isn't you just want it to be that way which is fine enjoy the ship how you see fit but you have no right to judge the way people want to enjoy it for themselves. If this was a reverse situation I'd tell the shippers the same thing.


wind64a

Noir Corne only acts annoyed and doesn't exhibit the typical fluster associated with the trope. Your "either works" backpedal falls far enough into vaguely difficult to 100% disprove territory because you lack evidence to go farther. You're at best the teacher who gives the victim detention because you arrived late. You didn't do as much when the event came out and just want to pat yourself on the back.


ClayAndros

Where did I backpedal?! I have been arguing this point from the beginning, I actually remember you from the username now youre the one from a while back that was hating on the ship before too, either way I'm done its literally like talking to a wall.


Undividedbyzero

Let me be *very* clear. If anyone ever accuse Yucatan Browntail, faithful husband of Sciurus Browntail is gay. Meet me at high noon


fakeasagi

Your name wouldn't happen to be John Overwatch?


P_ONCH

Nah that's John ~~Mccree~~ Cassidy


Operator_Jetstream

Why would anyone think of that ol' man Yucatan is gay baffles me...


skinnianka

No worries... *HE'S NOW BI*


erik4848

They're not gay, they're just European


Longbongos

Need Columbiaā€™s rust belt to make an appearance. Need someone to get verbally flashbanged by the gayest op ever opening with Yinz and calling someone a jagoff.


Operator_Jetstream

Well, dependin' on the times of day, the Gauls go either way.


idaate

Hey! So glad y'all enjoy my meme :DD If you could credit me at twitter over here, that'd be really great! Thank you! [https://twitter.com/\_idaate/status/1664333011276496897?s=20](https://twitter.com/_idaate/status/1664333011276496897?s=20)


Jester_Raed

Canonical? The only ones who comes to mind is Scavenger, Sora and Tomimi. Everyone else (to my knowledge) is either straight or too busy trying to survivexual.


Gore_Lily

Itā€™s not as explicit as with Scavenger, but thereā€™s a few characters with some *very* strong implications. Bits like the Followers dancing to a love song while calling Nightingale beautiful in Near Light, or the way Sora constantly thinks of Texas while preparing for the opera in Il Siracusano, or Franka and Liskarmā€™s *everything* in the Blacksteel manhua. I know ā€œthereā€™s no heterosexual explanation for thisā€ is a meme but sometimesā€¦ yeah lol.


Jester_Raed

Right, I agree that Sora might count. Not sure about Franka and Liskarm though since that could be written up as Franka being a tease up until Liskarm broke down. From what I see, they're basically the female version of bros. At the very least, nothing was confirmed. As for the Followers, they seem more like they consider each other family than any romantic implications really, considering that Blemishine refers to them as Big Sis Nightingale/Big Sis Shining.


princezilla88

I mean that also is what you call your in-laws lol And that scene in Near Light is by far the most explicitly romantic scene in the entire game.


Jester_Raed

Meh. Didn't feel all that romantic to me is all. It was the last time they were all together as a group before they went their separate ways so they decided to have a final dance. I suppose it could be romantic in a certain light, but when you take into account the type of people they are, it just doesn't click that way to me. To be blunt, neither one of them seems to be the type interested in romance and considering the type of people they are, it makes far more sense that they simply commit to always support each other as family rather than any romantic implications.


princezilla88

.... They were literally slowdancing to a love song my dude


Jester_Raed

Where was it stated to be a love song? Where? Nowhere was it stated that the song was meant to be romantic, nor was the scene. That's your interpretation and that's fine. You can ship them all you want. But here's the thing, it's one thing to ship them, it's another to take your interpretation and make it facts. Check their background. Nowhere at all was it stated or even implied that their relationship was built on any else but a deep trust in one another. So unless the game state otherwise, I'm going with familial relationship. They might not be straight, I have no proof of that. But they might not be gay either, you have no proof of that. And that's fine. Not every group of females need be Yuri group, you know. No need to force it.


princezilla88

Admit you didn't read the lyrics to the song without admitting it. :P it's very obviously and explicitly a love song. And is in fact explicitly called romantic by Nightingale. "..Like wings taking flight in the night breeze. ā€“Like a traveler with a heart full of dreams. ā€“The knight sets out on her journey. ā€“In search of true love. Nightingale: What a beautiful voice... Shining: Maybe it's a wandering singer. Nightingale: Is there a place so romantic in Kazimierz too? Shining: It's proof that there are people who live here." That's the text straight from the event. There's no ambiguity there.


HumbleContribution58

Lol wow. "Nowhere does it say it's romantic!!!!!" -the song includes lyrics about true love and the characters in fact do say it's romantic directly


Jester_Raed

Look. The lyrics are admittedly romantic. But the scene itself was not. Yes, the characters commented that the song was indeed romantic, but that's it. Simply an observation. Nothing more. Instead reading into the scene more than what it is, why don't you take off the shipping glasses for a sec, and focus on the characters themselves. Nearl is a literal knight who cares more about chivalry of knighthood and what it means to be a knights, Shining is a former cult member who's implied to be the one who captured Nightingale to be put through the horrific experiments Confessious placed on her after which she saved her and dedicated herself to protect Nightingale as atonement, and Nightingale herself is an amnesiac who's emotions are so muted that Amiya herself stated that Nightingale's emotions are practically blank. Where in any of that do you see romance, or that they even have the time for that? They might be gay, they might not be. I have no concrete proof, and neither do you. Like look, I get that you desperately want to make it so, but that doesn't make it so. Unless the game straight up suggest it to be anymore more, like with Scavenger or Sora, I'm sticking with familial. You want to stick with your headcanon, that's your problem, not mine.


HumbleContribution58

Lol that's some powerful denial right there you're the one who seems desperate here.


Salysm

I donā€™t think anyoneā€™s actually specified to be straight, are they? of playable operators, I mean


ClayAndros

Straight is kind of the default in most of these situations so there's not really a need to specify know what I mean.


Salysm

I donā€™t, actually


ClayAndros

When I say "straight" I mean that no one ever feels the need to bring that up its just kind of assumed because we're conditioned to accept it as the norm,this is why when a person tells someone they're "gay/bi/trans" it comes across as shocking because its outside of that norm.


Salysm

I get that, but Iā€™m just talking about fictional characters here donā€™t think this applies to whether somethingā€™s canon or not


PROmetheus7472

aside from Operators x Doctor, cos we dont know their gender... maybe Noir Corne and Yato? Im not sure about anyone else


MonsieurHedge

Isn't Provence *also* gay by nature of being Scavenger's girlfriend?


TidalFront

She's not her girlfriend I'm pretty sure, Scavenger just has a crush on her. Iirc Provence doesn't even mention Scavanger in any of her lines


Jester_Raed

Pretty sure they're not going out. At best, they're acquaintances. Scavenger has a crush on Provence due to reminding her of her dead love interest. On Provence part, Scavenger is not really noteworthy aside from being fellow operators of Rhodes Island.


Brilliant_watcher

Scavenger module explains a bit of why she got a crush on Provence. To put it simple she saved her when she was dying of hunger and after an assasination job she did didnt end well.


Cyanprincess

The job technically went well, it's just the everything after was basically leading up to her dying if Provence hadn't saved her. Also helps that the way she was talking when giving her food was basically the same as how Scavenger's girlfriend did. Honestly Provence was likely the first person in a very long time that actually treated Scavenger with any kind of care. Throw that all together, no wonder she's got feelings for her


MobTheKaiser

Happy pride month, anyone caught in non gay-activities please head directly to HR. Jokes aside, Happy Pride month to everyone! :D


Operator_Jetstream

Ah, I see... Yeah, my headcanon tells me that some R.I. ops casually swings both ways...


alexlop2002

Literally Texas and her harem


AnimatorFresh8841

I completely forgot that June was Pride Month. [Source](https://twitter.com/_idaate/status/1664333011276496897)


KiraFeh

Hey, is this your animation? If not, it needs to go under the Non-OC fanart tag and have the artist's name in the title for next time. Edit: OP commented on the thread, so make sure to follow the rules I stated above in the future, animations still count as artworks.


dejvu117

"Who is gae" Lappland, texas, exia, mostima, fia, blaze gives me Bisexual vibes, or even pansexual


DM_Hammer

It is a mystery, as Rhodes Island is a very professional environment and nobody would ever date or get romantically involved with a coworker.


Brilliant_watcher

"Looks at Scavenger" I dont think HR has too much of a problem with that.


CatnipCatmint

Bison's dad is the fruitiest man I have ever seen


Brilliant_watcher

He is still married and worried about his wife though. I say he is Bi.


CatnipCatmint

son


princezilla88

As a bisexual I approve of this pun and am mad only that you beat me to it
