I never believed Korra/Asami would become canon. I shipped it but there was really no precedent for gay relationships in children's media, and I doubt anyone saw that coming. It was an (amazing) surprise.

[(Anonymous)]

I still have trouble believing it. I shipped them from season one, and never would have thought they would be canon.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, same. Though now I worry it's made me less jaded about seeing actual queer pairings happen in media I like. I might be setting myself up for more disappointment in the future.

[(Anonymous)]

Ha understandable. I'm gay, and am just more interested in the prospect of gay relationships. So I'm like hyper-aware of how often they don't happen. I mean I can enjoy subtext just fine, but there is something epic about the shock of a gay pairing becoming canon (when the characters were never previously identified as being interested in the same gender).

After Korra though it's like, c'mon children's cartoons, get on it! Or not just children's cartoons. I hope it'll gradually become a more common thing though.

Adventure Time has confirmed Princess Bubblegum and Marceline used to date, though they explored it more in the comics from what I understand. As well, Steven Universe is pretty blatant about femslash pairings (Ruby/Sapphire and Pearl's very obvious crush on Rose, for example). But the people behind the show, perhaps wisely, claim the Gems are non-binary entities, that just happen to appear all female and use she/her pronouns.

To be fair, you can't have a binary if there's only females. :V

na

gems are aliens without a concept of gender. the showrunners meant that they don't fit into the human binary of gender, but humans refer to them as female because they look in a way that they would consider female (and gems don't really give a fuck what they're referred to as).

On the same topic of Cartoon Network, one of the main characters on Clarence has two moms. They don't show up very frequently (the focus is on the kids, not so much their families) but I thought it was very cute.

[(Anonymous)]

What? When was the Bubblegum/Marceline confirmed? All I know about it was that CN cut off a scene a few years ago that suggested anything going on between the two.

[cloud_riven]

Marc/PB was confirme ? When was that? Last I heard was the constant nopes and a voice actor tweeting how they were just joking u guise (after all, they're not a show writer anyway).

[(Anonymous)]

Same here.

[hamimi_fk]

Oh? I thought it was confirmed in the comic? Maybe it was only heavily implied? I've seen some panels that seemed to suggest this so that's why I said it. Sorry if I'm mistaken?

[nightscale]

Same here. I liked the ship and enjoyed it in the whole 'it's never going to happen' way that I'm used to with slash and femslash ships and then it actually became canon and I was dumbstruck for ages after, like I kept questioning if it really happened or I imagined the whole thing.

[caerbannog]

SAME. I honestly didn't think they'd do it. Come on, canon same sex couple involving the main character in an American cartoon? I spent the whole finale getting ready for the no-homo line. Even after the Mako-friends talk I was getting ready for the inevitable no-homo.

Quite happy to have been wrong.

Actually, a book series I liked by Bruce Coville in the midnineties had a gay relationship under the radar, and another book (The Skull Of Truth) had the main character's coming out as a plot point.

I mean, TV seems to have more restrictive rules than books, but there is at least a precedent in children's media.

I was so happy too!

Too bad Gravity Falls ditched the lesbian old ladies scene.
