| 13 | * ''HoYay/LingQi'' |

| 18 | ---- |
| 19 | !!Examples: |
| 20 | * ''Webcomic/NineteenSeventySevenTheComic'': How far can a man, temporarily trapped in a female body, be said to be lesbian if he/she takes two girls to bed? Bud/Budette fails to devote much angst to this intriguing philosophical conundrum and beds the two girls anyway. |
| 21 | * ''Webcomic/EightBitTheater'': |
| 22 | ** Fighter and Black Mage. Fighter is endlessly devoted to Black Mage, following him across the planet and willing to oppose and/or attempt to kill anything that threatens him, behaviour which can't be entirely explained by his naivety (especially considering the rampant hints he's practicing ObfuscatingStupidity), while all of Black Mage's ''extremely'' rare PetTheDog moments have either White Mage or Fighter as the focus, the former of whom he sexually propositions regularly. At the end of the comic, [[spoiler:Black Mage and Fighter are the only Light Warriors who ''don't'' split up.]] |
| 23 | * ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja'': |
| 24 | ** The last two panels of [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/17p49 this page]] are somewhat... [[ScrewYourself suggestive]]. Likely on purpose. |
| 25 | ** [[http://drmcninja.com/archives/comic/25p33/ This page]] with the good doctor and Chuck Goodrich. Hastings lampshades it in the alttext. |
| 26 | * ''Webcomic/AloneInACrowd'': |
| 27 | ** Hope and Faith. Hope states that she and Faith were "perfect for each other", though she likely meant it in an innocently friendly way, since they're young. She's the only person Faith's age who is [[FreakinessShame accepting of her cat ears]] and likes to touch them (to Faith's bemusement). Though Faith doesn't mind Hope's company she isn't entirely comfortable around her due to not being used to having a friend. When it was revealed Hope's parents abandoned her and Faith's sister Sara decided to invite her for a "sleepover" (planning to find a family-member to take in Hope), Faith was none-too-amused, but seemed to warm up to the idea. Later Hope was able to use none-too-subtle reverse-psychology to convince Faith into letting her sleep in Faith's bed instead of in a sleeping-bag on the floor. After Hope fell asleep, Faith's thoughts were as follows: |
| 28 | -->'''Faith''': ''[thinking]'' So here I am at my first sleepover. Man this is awkward! I barely know this girl and I'm sharing a bed with her. *sigh* I'll never get to sleep. |
| 29 | ** In a very, very, VERY {{Squick}}y manner, when Faith's aunt Desirae hugged Hope due to the young girl being absolutely adorable and very huggable, the following um... exchange occurred once the hug was over: |
| 30 | --->'''Hope''': Your chest is really comfortable. |
| 31 | --->'''Desirae''': I get that a lot. |
| 32 | *** Hope once again showed a, err, interest in Desirae's chest in the one-hundredth-comic of the series, in which the characters broke the FourthWall to celebrate. Unfortunately, they had no ideas; Desirae then spoke with "I could always show them my boobs!". After a bit of arguing over what to do, [[OnlySaneMan Faith]] interrupted and said they should all just reflect on what they have already accomplished. After a [[BeatPanel beat]]: |
| 33 | --->'''Marty''' (''being a... fan of Desirae''): I'm still for Desirae's boobs. |
| 34 | --->'''Hope''': Me, too. |
| 35 | * ''Webcomic/{{Avalon|1999}}'': |
| 36 | ** In the comic's old days, guest artists often came in to make little "joke comics" and other such things. One such guest artist drew up the LoveDodecahedron consisting of every teenaged main character in the series, and then made a little strip of the characters' reactions. Joe, the (arguably) lead male of the strips then said, "I think he forgot about the pink line between me and Alan." Pink lines in the dodecahedron symbolized "possible attraction to," with red lines as "definitely attracted to," and brown lines for "absolutely can't stand." |
| 37 | * Happens in-universe in ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'' when Mike and Paolo -universe are forced to share a room... [[ThereIsOnlyOneBed And a bed]]. [[http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c43/p10.html While they won't share it and even start to fight about who should sleep on the floor instead,]] other characters assume from all the noise that they are having sex instead. |
| 38 | * ''Webcomic/CaptainSNES'': |
| 39 | ** In-universe, Bass thinks that Vegeta and Green are going in this direction. |
| 40 | * In ''Webcomic/TheCobraDays'', there are a lot of little moments between the Fear and... [[DepravedBisexual everyone else]]. [[YaoiFangirl Fans]] of the comic adopted Fear/Fury and Fear/Sorrow as pet pairings, and the writer obliged by doing official artwork of both pairings. In her [[WordOfGod finale Ustreem session]], she revealed that she liked to ship Fear/Sorrow as a CrackPairing. |
| 41 | * A few of the earliest ''Webcomic/DinosaurComics'' revolved around the [[http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=4 sexual]] [[http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=5 tension]] between T-Rex and Utahraptor. |
| 42 | * [[http://www.drowtales.com/mainarchive.php?sid=6783 This page]] of ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'' is rife with Kiel and Naal Les Yay. There are also plenty of pretty blatant hints towards Quain'tana and Ash'waren's involvement with each other, as well as subtler hints between Ariel and Faen. |
| 43 | * ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'', although it gets complicated due to being a [[CastFullOfGay Cast Full of Bi]]: |
| 44 | ** There are [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2003-02-19 frequent jokes]] about Tedd and Elliot having some UnresolvedSexualTension between them. The author himself supports Tedd/Elliot shipping, and has drawn them kissing at least once. Some of the filler has shown Tedd's female counterpart in the EGS:NP continuity, Tess, dating Elliot, and conversely when Elliot was female he found Tedd attractive, although he denied it afterwards, even to Ellen who had all his memories up to that point. In an arc starting toward the end of 2013, Elliot has an erotic dream of himself and a morphed-to-female-before-his-eyes Tedd; of course, he conveniently forgets who he was dreaming about when he woke up. |
| 45 | *** More recently this has been cranked up to eleven, with Tedd's girlfriend Grace even taking note of it [[https://www.egscomics.com/comic/party-202 here]] |
| 46 | ** Tedd's girlfriend Grace, due to her [[InnocentFanserviceGirl poor grasp on human intimacy]] and [[NoBisexuals I-can't-believe-it's-not-bisexuality]], has had her share of Ho Yay moments with Elliot's (then) girlfriend Sarah and a few more with Ellen. In at least one alternate universe, Grace hooked up with Sarah due to Tedd being off the market. Grace and Sarah have apparently had a lot more moments (largely off-panel) since she became Tedd's lab assistant, with the result that many fans now see Tedd/Grace/Sarah as a OneTrueThreesome. Sarah, incidentally, says she's a "Kinsey 2 at most", meaning she's straight, but not ''entirely'' straight. |
| 47 | ** Rhoda and Diane - hugs, normal, looking deeply into each other's eyes, OK, Diane calling Rhoda cute...hang on a second! Becomes text, more or less, during "The Legend of Diane", although [[spoiler: she actually starts dating Lucy]]. |
| 48 | ** Elliot made friends with the [[DudeLooksLikeALady very effeminate]] Noah after some hijinks leads to a friendly yet awkward lunch -- a lunch that looked [[NotADate a lot like a date]] [[http://egscomics.com/?date=2010-03-29 due to Noah's posing]]. Only exacerbated [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1076 in the page following the lunch]] with Ellen saying lines like "You're seeing him again on Tuesday?" and Noah's almost swooning expression. |
| 49 | *** When Elliot is [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-01-24 introduced to Noah's girlfriend]], the hate is rolling off him in palpable waves. He has good reason, but Noah, who doesn't know the history (and has a [[CloudCuckoolander wonky brain-to-mouth filter]]) [[http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2011-01-26 asks if Elliot is jealous]]. Because he's been told he has the ability to [[EvenTheGuysWantHim make straight men see rainbows]]. |
| 50 | *** Elliot has since admitted to Ellen that [[https://www.egscomics.com/comic/2017-05-15 he finds Noah attractive]]. |
| 51 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Erfworld}}'', there's a strong Les Yay overtone to Wanda's MoreThanMindControl of Jillian. As Wanda [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0072.html describes]] it, "She won't fight for someone she hates. Nor harm someone she loves... But above all else, she will not harm ''me''." |
| 52 | * ''Webcomic/{{Fishbones}}'' has some, and it's lampshaded by one of them. |
| 53 | * Even though EveryoneIsBi in ''Webcomic/FriendlyHostility'', Arath has had a few of these, despite insisting that he's straight. |
| 54 | * ''Webcomic/GirlGenius'': |
| 55 | ** Gil and Tarvek. They're ChildhoodFriends [[EvilFormerFriend turned rivals]], due to a misunderstanding and Tarvek at least still keeps secrets that he felt would ruin Gil's life. And [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100305 he'll kill Gil]] [[HowDareYouDieOnMe if Gil dies]], so there's that. |
| 56 | *** For most of a story arc, they've been alternating attempting to throttle one another and brilliant teamwork that saves both their lives. While arm in arm and topless. Looks like they might be heading for [[spoiler:a Wulfenbach-Storm King-Heterodyne triple alliance ([[OneTrueThreesome hehheh]]) to forge a new Pax Transylvania]]. |
| 57 | *** There's also the fact that [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20091120 Tarvek states]] that he is about to "senselessly pound" the other. Gil sarcastically replies "Ho, yeah. Merry Christmas to me." |
| 58 | *** [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100428 There's a momemt after their revivification that]] looks suspiciously like an AlmostKiss betwixt them, and if it isn't, it's still slashy as hell. |
| 59 | *** When Tarvek realizes that Gil was kidnapped by the Baron, he tries to rationalize the importance of keeping him before he just admits to himself and Agatha that they could've kept him ''safe'' with a [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20130329 look of utmost worry and concern.]] |
| 60 | *** After Tarvek [[spoiler:gets out of the timestop]], the [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20160311#.VwvNFvkrLIU first thing Gil does]] is hug him. Tarvek then proceeds to [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20160318#.VwvMsvkrLIU take a bath in Gil's private quarters]] while Gil's in there, gets [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20160321#.VwvM1PkrLIU bridal-carried by Gil]] when he falls asleep, and gets put to bed in Gil's bed. Yeah, they definitely hate each other. |
| 61 | *** If that isn't proof enough, the second panel [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20180124 here]], right after Gil has just [[spoiler: stolen a ship belonging to one of the most powerful nations in the world to rescue Tarvek]], he sits down and takes the time to explain his motivation to Tarvek mid-battle. Tarvek's expression makes it clear that he has been thrown VERY off-balance by this. |
| 62 | *** During the ball in London, Gil: (i) genuinely worries about Tarvek when Tarvek doesn't dance with Agatha; (ii) seeks love advice about Agatha from the Muse Orotine but ends up discussing his relationship with Tarvek instead; and (iii) [[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20200731 admits that he trusts Tarvek and looks forward to seeing whatever he’s been scheming lately.]] At this point the Foglios are going full "Will they or won't they?" |
| 63 | *** Tarvek makes a jibe at Gil saying ''[[https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20201125 "On our honeymoon I'll be sure to tell her you said so"]]'' clearly meaning his honeymoon with Agatha. Gil quickly turns it around as though Tarvek meant his honeymoon with Gil, which Violetta calls out as flirting. |
| 64 | ** Sanaa [[spoiler:Tryggvassen]] seems to think that [[http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20100324#.VwvOHvkrLIU this is why]] [[GentlemanAdventurer Othar]] wants to kidnap Gil. It's not, but it doesn't stop her from hoping. |
| 65 | * ''Webcomic/GirlsWithSlingshots'': |
| 66 | ** Some had assumed Jamie was openly bisexual until [[http://www.daniellecorsetto.com/GWS504.html this series]]. |
| 67 | ** Clarisse evidently considers Hazel/Thea inevitable despite Hazel's cranky insistence to the contrary. |
| 68 | * ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'': |
| 69 | ** Annie and Kat: They are very close, would go through hell for the other, and have a [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=295 huge]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=558 amount]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=832 of symbolism]] crafted around their relationship. When they have a row in chapter Chapter 32, the being that brings them back together just happens to be [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=869 a licensed couples' therapist]], they SleepCute in an armchair together in Chapter 34, and now they're planning to [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything grow a sapient biomechanical robot together]]. [[ShrugOfGod Tom has remained silent on where this is going]], other than to clarify that, no, Annie and Kat were ''not'' kissing back in Ch 6. |
| 70 | ** In Chapter 34, Kat's overenthusiastic praise of Paz's looks sparks embarrassed backtracking that they're "not... like that." Eight chapters later, [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1202 they start going out]]. |
| 71 | *** Kat's attraction to Birds has been a RunningGag since [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=257 Chapter 13]]. Considering that "Bird" is a common British slang word for ladies, one wonders whether or not this was a sneaky case of foreshadowing. |
| 72 | ** Zimmy and Gamma: A [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=195 much]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=464 stronger]] [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=468 case]] can be made for these two, the author's commentary refers to Gamma as "The only thing Zimmy could ever give a damn about", and even [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=930 other characters]] acknowledge it. However, Tom has also said that they're not a couple "in the way you're thinking" on his Formspring, which he later clarified meant that they [[http://www.formspring.me/gunnerkrigg/q/750831700 were together romantically, but not sexually]]. |
| 73 | ** Ysengrin and Coyote: Tom [[http://gunnerkrigg.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=614&page=5#21769 confirms]] that Y loves Coyote [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=498 very much.]] It's unclear if Coyote reciprocates. |
| 74 | ** The two forest fairy girls are very touchy-feely with each other, although it's more of a dysfunctional friendship. It could be just because they're fairies. |
| 75 | ** Shadow and Robot are undoubtedly in ''some'' sort of relationship, though the waters are muddied by one of them [[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove being mechanical]] and the other being a LivingShadow who's new to having a physical body. Those barriers don't slow them down when Robot [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=971 realizes]] that he loves Shadow, when they [[http://gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1129 pass the time]] cuddling on a rooftop, or when Shadow [[http://gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1611 gets Robot hot and bothered]] by playing with his new quasi-organic arm. |
| 76 | * ''Webcomic/HannaIsNotABoysName'': |
| 77 | ** Conrad and [[DrJerk Doc Worth]]. Doc taunts Conrad, Conrad punches Doc, Doc grows "keen on" Conrad... Heightened quite a bit in the February mini comic, where Doc Worth sees Conrad at a cafe and visibly decides to tease him for a while, ending with him slicing his palm and giving Conrad (a vampire) a shot of blood for his espresso. Conrad drinks it. Promptly made even more obvious where Doc Worth wakes up, incredibly grouchy and hungover in his office, and one of the first things he immediately asks Hanna is the whereabouts of 'Count Fagula'. Cue brand new nickname for Conrad, for one thing. |
| 78 | ** Hanna and everyone, essentially, but especially Hanna/Zombie. Both get really upset when the other one's in danger, they live together, and Zombie apparently makes him breakfast. |
| 79 | %%* ''Webcomic/KeychainOfCreation'': Between Secret and Marena, [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0184.html at]] [[http://keychain.patternspider.net/archive/koc0270.html points]]. |
| 80 | * Kobayashi the Discount Ninja and Radd's EvilTwin Gnarl from ''Webcomic/KidRadd'' happen to be standing on the same bridge, complaining about Radd, when they notice each other. They have a fantasy sequence of co-operating to bring down their common nemesis, but the fantasy starts moving into rather different waters, at which point: |
| 81 | -->''Gnarl:''' [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday Er, did I mention my]] [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial unquenchable love of the ladies?]] |
| 82 | * ''Webcomic/{{Lackadaisy}}'': Given how close the two were before the start of the comic's plot, Mordecai and Viktor's friendship going south after the former abandons Lackadaisy is often implicitly treated by the comic as an ''extremely'' nasty breakup. No one can seem to mention Mordecai's defection without bringing up that he "kneecapped Viktor on his way out the door" (no metaphor, that's what actually happened), and Mordecai himself admits that he only did so because [[CrazyJealousGuy Viktor refused to go with him]]. A flashback in a side comic also has Mordecai, [[CantHoldHisLiquor three sheets to the wind]], start ranting about his "friend" Viktor's positive attributes. Interestingly enough, the first and only coherent thought we get from him is about Viktor's physical build before he realizes he's too drunk to take the concept any further and simply settles for calling him "great". Viktor, for his part, is silently scooting away from him at the bar, embarrassed but notably not actually doing anything to shut him up[[note]]If it had been Rocky who was drunk, Viktor no doubt would've decked him by this point[[/note]]. |
| 83 | * ''Webcomic/LastRes0rt'': |
| 84 | ** [[http://www.lastres0rt.com/?p=93 Jigsaw feeding on Daisy]], then lampshaded and subverted when Jigsaw realizes [[FauxSymbolism the sexual subtext of Vampirism]] and {{Squick}}s herself with the implications of this. Then she proceeds to go and bite Daisy ''anyway'', so... |
| 85 | ** [[http://www.lastres0rt.com/2009/08/think-fast/ Jigsaw and Addy kissed.]] Okay, Jigsaw was technically feeding on Addy, so it's more of a one-way relationship, but... |
| 86 | * Some wonder if ''Webcomic/LeastICouldDo'''s management is trying to reel in more [[YaoiFangirl female readers]], with [[http://leasticoulddo.com/comic/20060918 t]][[http://leasticoulddo.com/comic/20061007 h]][[http://www.leasticoulddo.com/comic/20080206 e]][[http://www.leasticoulddo.com/comic/20080222 s]][[http://www.leasticoulddo.com/comic/20080618 e]]. |
| 87 | * ''[[http://www.livingwithinsanity.com/index/ Living With Insanity]]'' |
| 88 | ** [[http://www.livingwithinsanity.com/index/?p=215 This moment]], and apparently there was supposed to be one [[http://www.livingwithinsanity.com/index/?p=371 here]] but it's probably nothing. Although, ever since Paul was turned into a bishie, he's been drawing himself naked a lot more often, so who knows? |
| 89 | ** [[http://www.livingwithinsanity.com/index/?p=363 This strip]] on [[Webcomic/PvP Scott Kurtz]] and newspaper cartoonist Ted Rall. |
| 90 | * Richard and Cale in ''Webcomic/LookingForGroup''. Cale glomps Richard [[http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/172 at one point]], and [[http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/269 a later strip]] has Richard carrying Cale ''bridal style''. And don't forget about [[http://www.lfgcomic.com/page/240 fwoosh]]. |
| 91 | * ''Webcomic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings'': |
| 92 | ** Invoked when [[VideoGame/GodOfWar Kratos]] and [[Film/ThreeHundred Leonidas]] play [[http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/comic/it-ends-in-triumph Gay Chicken]]. As neither would surrender, they were on an unhappy relationship for ''weeks''. |
| 93 | --->'''Commander Badass:''' When Spartans play Gay Chicken, [[SeriousBusiness they play for keeps]], kid. [[Film/WarGames Only way to win is not to play]]. Remember that. It could save your life. |
| 94 | ** [[http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/comic/05102010 This strip]] has [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Jack Krauser]] admit that Chris in ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil5'' was him in disguise to get Wesker's attention. |
| 95 | * ''Webcomic/MayonakaDensha'': |
| 96 | ** There are many hints that Jack's feelings for Tom might go a little bit beyond friendship, especially given that Jack is a [[HeManWomanHater complete mysogynist]]. Which Hatsune will not shy away from mercilessly teasing him about. |
| 97 | -->"I'm sorry, I couldn't sleep over the sound of all this homoeroticism" |
| 98 | ** Jack and Morris often have a tendency to get [[http://mayonakadensha.thecomicseries.com/comics/209 uncomfortably]][[http://mayonakadensha.thecomicseries.com/comics/210 close]] to one another at times. Slightly [[{{Squick}} squicky]] given that Morris [[OlderThanTheyLook looks like a 5 year old.]] |
| 99 | ** There's the occasional LesYay vibe between Irene and Hatsune. |
| 100 | * ''Webcomic/{{Megatokyo}}'': |
| 101 | ** Ping and Miho, in spite of Mr. Gallagher's statement that only one female character, Sayuri, is attracted to other females. Come on, Ping went [[BerserkButton crazy]] when she thought that Miho was in danger. ''Twice''. Despite her dark and manipulative personality, Miho's done surprisingly kind things for Ping, like take her out to eat multiple times, take her to a bath house, bought her underwear, ''and'' it's [[http://www.megatokyo.com/strip/443 hinted]] that Miho knows that Ping is anatomically correct. |
| 102 | ** For a supposedly straight girl, Miho has a ''lot'' of this. Her former best friend Junko acts like an embittered ex-lover towards her, and later, people have been seeing this between Miho and Yuki. |
| 103 | ** Back when she started her online relationship with Piro she briefly thought that he was actually a girl. |
| 104 | * ''Webcomic/MenageA3'', what with constantly skirting the line with EveryoneIsBi. |
| 105 | ** Zii can't seem to stop hitting on [=DiDi=], to the point where she [[http://www.menagea3.net/d/20090307.html convinces [=DiDi=] that she's a lesbian]]. Zii masturbates in one scene watching all-male pornography while calling [=DiDi=]'s name. |
| 106 | ** Sonya and Yuki both lust madly after [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer Zii]]. And Yuki once thinks that Didi is in love with her and acts flattered and says she thinks Didi is "hot". She also hugs Didi while blushing and putting her face into her breasts while naked. |
| 107 | ** Sandra and [=DiDi=] once enter a relationship and [=DiDi=] kisses Sandra. They go as far as to try to have sex with each other only to conclude that they're "two naked straight girls with poor boundary issues." |
| 108 | ** Aparently Zii is well known to several female strippers in the city. |
| 109 | ** CampGay and WholesomeCrossdresser Dillion is trying his best to get in Gary's pants. It's so blatant that both Dillon and Zii seem to have trouble understanding that Gary is completely straight and has no interest in men. Dillon even seems to think he and Gary are in a relationship. |
| 110 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Misfile}}'', Ash and Emily are clearly attracted to each other. Given that Ash is a [[GenderBender guy turned into a girl]], this means that every [[http://www.misfile.com/index.php?page=248 emotional moment]] between the two of them is simultaneously Les Yay and not. Though there's nothing in ''[[http://www.misfile.com/?page=591 this]]'' moment that could be construed as anything other than Les Yay. |
| 111 | * ''Webcomic/{{Monsterful}}'' has Topaz Gem and Samantha Thing, two 19 years old sexy Monsters, with Topaz taking a "dominant" role in their relationship as seen on [[http://www.monsterful.com/chapter16page03.php this page]] for example. However, it's stated that they're [[spoiler:just [[PseudoRomanticFriendship very close friends]], and Topaz just loves to play]] with Samantha in that way. |
| 112 | * As perpetually bickering buddies from the opposite ends of the political scale, Sam and Alistair from ''Webcomic/{{Newshounds}}'' have had some moments. |
| 113 | * ''Webcomic/{{Niels}}'' is [[EveryoneIsBi filled with outed bisexuals]], but of note is Agent 300, who had a lot of ambiguous interaction with other men but needed a ClosetKey to realize his own bisexuality. |
| 114 | * ''Noblesse'' is filled to the brim with androgynous men who like to remind each other that they are hot. Potential (one-sided) ships include, but are not limited to, Frankenstein/Rai (most obvious & consistent), Regis/Rai, & M-24/M-21, Previous Lord/Rai. |
| 115 | * ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': |
| 116 | ** Given that it's unclear about [[AmbiguousGender Vaarsuvius' true gender]], it's easy to see Ho Yay between both male and female characters, and fans most certainly have seen both, including between V and Belkar thanks to an AccidentalKiss, as well as with Haley. Keep in mind we don't know the gender of V's spouse either and their children are adopted. |
| 117 | ** When Roy takes several arrows for Elan, and his "logical" excuses for doing so don't pan out, Elan exclaims "You like me! Roy likes Elan" and Belkar starts singing "Roy and Elan sitting in a tree..." |
| 118 | ** One of Haley's cryptogram confessions to Elan is "I've kissed a girl once.. no, more than once", and the anthropomorphic personifications of the various parts of her psyche includes Latent Bisexuality who apparently just sits in the corner most of the time. |
| 119 | ** When Miko is imprisoned after [[spoiler:killing Lord Shojo]], Sabine (also imprisoned) says some very interesting things to her. |
| 120 | ** [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0753.html This strip]] contains EvenTheGuysWantHim, BlatantLies, [[DoubleEntendre Double Entendres]], [[GenerationXerox Generational Xerox]], all mixed together to make quite possibly the most homoerotic strip yet. |
| 121 | --->'''Roy''': Do you WANT to be hit by the big stick again? |
| 122 | --->'''Belkar''': [[ThatsWhatSheSaid That's what HE said.]] |
| 123 | ** An odd half-example: while Roy is transformed into a woman by a gender-bending magic belt, Belkar (who knows it's really Roy) takes delight in hitting on Female!Roy. He ''claims'' that he's [[GayBravado only doing it to freak Roy out]]. |
| 124 | ** Gannji and Enor have a bit of this during the gladiator arc. The arc in question began with the slavemaster warning the new gladiators of "strong homosexual overtones that will not be fully explored" if a stronger gladiator defends a weaker one, and, according to Gannji, "I wouldn't last two days in this place without you to protect me." [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0783.html Then this ...]] It doesn't hurt the case that the [[MagicFeather "Lizardfolk Victory String"]] Gannji gives Enor is [[RedStringOfFate red]]. |
| 125 | ** Durkon and Malack are just friends, but in 871 Durkon finds out that Malack is [[spoiler:a vampire]], and then in 876 [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0876.html this]] happens. |
| 126 | * ''Webcomic/OutThere'': Miriam and Sherry often coyly [[http://outthere.keenspot.com/d/20100403.html joke about a mutual attraction]], but sometimes [[http://outthere.keenspot.com/d/20100406.html act jealous of each other in a way that lends credence to the theory that the attraction might be real]]. Some of the characters have speculated that [[http://outthere.keenspot.com/d/20101022.html they may have had some sort of relationship in the past]]; even Miriam's '''mom''' [[http://outthere.keenspot.com/d/20110914.html assumed that at one point they were dating]]. |
| 127 | * ''Webcomic/PennyAndAggie'': Sara was convinced there was something between Penny and Aggie, and between Stan and Jack, [[spoiler:before she came out herself.]] Penny, however, has been seen either fantasizing about a future life with Aggie or in a possible future life with Aggie, and has had erotic dreams about her. Aggie, who rejected the idea of lesbianism [[http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=51 purely due to what bitches girls can be]], has been [[http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=465 seen to get "tingles"]] after having her [[FunbagAirbag face in Karen's breasts]]... and Karen thought Aggie was ''openly'' lesbian for more than a year after [[http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=667 reading too much into a comment about not needing to attract boys]]. [[spoiler:And now Aggie is, at the very least, not especially hiding her interest in girls. They eventually began dating.]] Then there's Penny and Sara being cast as the [[Theatre/{{Macbeth}} Mackers]], and the [[RapeAsDrama nasty rumors]] Charlotte spread. And while there's nothing outside Sara's head between Stan and Jack, Stan and ''Rich'' are quite another story, to the point that [[http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=402 even Penny's alluded to it... and Stan didn't bother to argue]]. And it's hard not to read something into [[http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=400 Stan's "loud and clear" message "for men and ladies,"]] or [[http://www.pennyandaggie.com/index.php?p=713 his flirting with Fred at one of the popsicle parties]]. |
| 128 | * ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'': |
| 129 | ** Gabe and Charles, but [[http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2012/04/06 this strip]] outright confirms that they're gay. |
| 130 | ** Don't even [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2002/05/06 start]] with [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2005/08/22 the text]] about Gabe let alone [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/03/29 the subtext.]] |
| 131 | * ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'': |
| 132 | ** Dora (who is self-admittedly bisexual, while spending most of the strip in a monogamous relationship with a man, and making occasional reference to "ex-boyfriends" as a group and only mentioning brief flings with women) occasionally has these moments, particularly [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1249 here]], [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1360 here]] and [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=747 here]]. See also [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=117 here]] and [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=146 here]]. |
| 133 | ** The Hannelore/Marigold ([[PortmanteauCoupleName Hanigold?]]) subtext, which Jeph has addressed and [[ShipSinking denied]]. |
| 134 | * ''Webcomic/{{Sakana}}'': |
| 135 | ** Taisei is an [[FunPersonified enthusiastic and always happy guy]] with NoSenseOfPersonalSpace, who has a ''[[HeterosexualLifePartners very close relationship]]'' with the main character, Jiro: They have been best friends since middle school, and they are practially inseparable, [[RealMenWearPink go shopping together]] and share an apartment. ''And'' Taisei [[DatePeepers stalks Jiro's dates]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext because he can't stop worrying that Jiro might get hurt]]. [[http://sakana.smackjeeves.com/comics/1033561/051/ This comic]], if you block out the punchline, is ''very suggestive''. |
| 136 | ** Taisei's meeting with Yuudai, where Taisei isn't discouraged at all when Yuudai behaves like a total {{Jerkass}} when he tries to find out Yuudais [[FirstNameBasis first name just after meeting him]] and enthusiastically [[SayMyName tries every first name he knows]], making Yuudai ''[[LuminescentBlush blush]]''. And after Taisei pulls him into a brohug of sorts, Yuudai freaks out [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything like he was being touched inappropriately]]. It's so blatant that Yuudai asks Taro if Taisei is gay. Well, he is [[HaveAGayOldTime gay. He is one big ball of happiness]] that even Yuudai can't resist. It doesn't help that Yuudai behaves like a massive Tsundere at times. |
| 137 | *** This trope seems to be in effect whenever Yuudai and Taisei are alone: Taro leaves to spy on Jiro [[DisguisedInDrag in disguise]] and Taisei and Yuudai find themselves alone, waiting for him. Then Taisei is exceptionally nice to Yuudai, making him compliments. [[{{Tsundere}} Yuudai doesn't believe him at first]], and when he finds out he is actually genuine with his kindness, [[LuminescentBlush he blushes]] [[http://mynameismad.deviantart.com/art/SAKANA-134-279277820?offset=25#comments heavily]]. |
| 138 | * Plenty to go around in ''Webcomic/ScandinaviaAndTheWorld'', but mainly between the Norwegian siblings and the Danish siblings. Sweden also has plenty of TransparentCloset interactions with his friends before [[ClosetKey finally]] getting a boyfriend. |
| 139 | * ''Webcomic/SequentialArt'': |
| 140 | ** [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=633 Kat and Hillary]]. Un/fortunately [[spoiler:AllJustADream.]] |
| 141 | ** [[http://www.collectedcurios.com/sequentialart.php?s=408 Kat and Van]]? |
| 142 | ** Jolly Jack himself draws suggestive but non-canon pics of Kat and Scarlet, and one of Kat and Van. |
| 143 | * Despite that they are just friends, there's the occasional scene in ''Webcomic/{{Shadowgirls}}'' between Lin-Lin and Becka [[http://www.shadowgirlscomic.com/comics/book-1/chapter-3-best-friends/for-now/ that]] [[http://www.shadowgirlscomic.com/comics/book-1/chapter-3-best-friends/reaching-out/ just]], [[http://www.shadowgirlscomic.com/comics/book-1/chapter-2-imprisoned/the-barn-rave/ um...]] |
| 144 | * ''Webcomic/TheShufflers'': The entirety of the chapter “The Tea Girl”, where Saphy Dutchkiss writes fanfiction of Märchen and Hiddenite being romantically involved. And then there’s Hiddenite’s response after being asked if they’re a couple: |
| 145 | -->'''Hiddenite''': It’s not like we had sex or anything. I just happened to sleep in his bed once. |
| 146 | ** Indeed, Hiddenite loves sneaking into Märchen’s bed uninvited. While ''naked''. |
| 147 | * For someone who was apparently straight, Robin from ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'' sure left her fingerprints on a lot of Les Yay moments and tried to set up a lot of male Ho Yay ones. [[http://shortpacked.com/comic/book-5/06-flashbacked/angstylesbians/ A classic example.]] Then she came out as "[[IfItsYouItsOkay straight with an exception]]", even though her inner monologue shows she had at least one other girlcrush ([[spoiler:Amber]]) besides Leslie. |
| 148 | * Lust and Pride/Fortune from ''The Sins''... well, what do you expect from an AnthropomorphicPersonification of Lust (who's only had sex with two people, one of whom we know, but still...). |
| 149 | * ''Webcomic/SisterClaire'': |
| 150 | ** Claire and Gabrielle are seen in a ''Film/TheGraduate'' [[ShoutOut tribute pose]], Gabrielle persistently calls Claire "sweetie", blatantly flirts with her (though granted that's how she acts around ''everyone'') and at one point, thanks to Gabrielle's unfamiliarity with mortal idiom: |
| 151 | -->"Now, let's have a girl-on-girl talk."\ |
| 152 | "Girltalk?"\ |
| 153 | "...Right." |
| 154 | ** [[{{Twincest}} Rosalie and Marie]] are ''heavily'' implied to be in some sort of relationship. Their TwinTelepathy (which they need to hide from the other Sisters because it's considered banned magic) being an obvious allegory for homosexuality is only the start. |
| 155 | * Big-time between Vinnie and Rabbit from ''Webcomic/{{Skins}}''. They argue LikeAnOldMarriedCouple and Rabbit often bites Vinnie [[http://lj-phillips.deviantart.com/art/Submit-348341190 when sparring.]] Considering Rabbit is a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Smoke]] who find blood an aphrodisiac, that in itself is suggestive. In a flashback scene, after a teenage Vinnie wins a fight [[spoiler:by ripping out his opponent's throat]], he shoots a hot glance over his shoulder at Rabbit to see if he’s watching. |
| 156 | * ''Webcomic/SlightlyDamned'': Rhea. Oh Rhea. She makes a joke trying to avert this in one comic where she's sharing the same bed with Kieri, and then is... passionately... kissed by Eve the fairy. On the male side, [[spoiler:Darius]] had a crush on Kieri's uncle, and it was implied that Cliff and Duster may have kissed once. |
| 157 | * Torg and Riff from ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance''. There's a (much rarer) LesYay moment for Zoë and Gwynn. And though it almost certainly wasn't intentional, the fact that a guest artist had to put the words "[[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend NOT MY GIRLFRIEND]]" below her roommate says something... Lampshaded in [[http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/001118 this comic.]] |
| 158 | * In ''Webcomic/SomethingPositive'', between Davan and Jason, Peejee and Aubrey, Peejee and Vanessa. For all three of these the author has made specific asides to point out that no, they're not going to happen. Also, Kestrel mistook Nancy's attempts to steal her panties on a trip to [[{{Gayborhood}} Provincetown]] for an attempt to win her over - her past experiences with Angela and, to a lesser degree, Kim [[TheFirstCutIsTheDeepest probably didn't help]]. Then there was Mike - in the words of his therapist: "Well, Mike, while there's nothing wrong with accidentally catching your brother masturbating to gay porn, the fact that you've snuck back seven more times to see it makes you what we in the psychiatry field refer to as '[[SophisticatedAsHell fucked up]]'." And Mr Sanderson greets Davan with a hug: |
| 159 | -->"I thought I'd never be able to do this again!" |
| 160 | -->"You know, the hug is uncomfortable enough without the orifice-tightening insinuation that it's taken place before without my knowledge." |
| 161 | * Vincent and Roland from ''Webcomic/SpikyHairedDragonWorthlessKnight'' have these moments. |
| 162 | * ''Webcomic/{{Spinnerette}}'', especially after [[spoiler:Mecha Maid]]'s confession to Spinnerette. See the comic's TV Tropes page for more details. |
| 163 | %%* A little bit in ''Webcomic/StringTheory2009'', like [[http://www.stringtheorycomic.com/comics/chapter-three/page-eight-2/ this.]] |
| 164 | * Matt and Webcomic/{{Terinu}} spent half their lives as the abused slaves of a pirate warlord, with only each other to turn to for emotional and physical comfort. The math ain't ''that'' hard. |
| 165 | * The dialogue in the [[http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20060910.html explanation segment]] towards the end of the storyline in ''Webcomic/SuicideForHire'' where Hunter defends homosexuality by [[http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20060702.html holding a fundamentalist protest group at gunpoint]] has some undertones of HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday along with his given reasons. (Said reasons are that he's offended by seeing people misuse the faith he was raised in, and that he can't stand than the idea of the "Religious Wrong" - his words - being allowed to have their own way in running society at large.) Some may say the truth of his statements may be proved by the way he reacts to the waiter in the next section, but the waiter's behaviour comes under the heading of sexual harassment, which ''anyone'' would react badly to. Then there's [[http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20070620.html this strip]]. And [[http://suicideforhire.comicgenesis.com/d/20080831.html this one]]. |
| 166 | * ''Webcomic/ToddAllisonAndThePetuniaViolet'': |
| 167 | ** [[HeterosexualLifePartners Meredith and Elijah]], who are ''very'' close, complete with a MistakenForGay[=/=]NotWhatItLooksLike moment in the third chapter. One could argue however that they are more [[LikeBrotherAndSister like brothers]] since Meredith is Elijah's and Petunia's [[spoiler:[[NotBloodRelated foster brother]] and grew up with them]]. |
| 168 | ** Cyril's ambiguously [[HandsomeLech flirty]] [[DepravedBisexual nature]] and his habit to give others [[TermsOfEndangerment affectionate nicknames]], calling Meredith and Elijah "beautiful people", and the [[http://todd-petunia.smackjeeves.com/comics/554564/v-day-doll-face/ Valetine's Day special]] where Cyril accidentally flirts with [[{{Jerkass}} Todd Allison]]... and doesn't correct himself when he sees that he's been talking to a man. |
| 169 | *** [[WordOfGod According to the artist]] on Website/{{Tumblr}}, Cyril wouldn't mind having a threesome with Petunia and Todd Allison. [[AllThereInTheManual How canon that is may be debatable.]] |
| 170 | ** [[http://zeeenya.tumblr.com/post/17597515494/ This]] new Valentine's Day special where Cyril flirts with his fellow tram conductor, Maxwell, who is rather bothered by this. |
| 171 | * Ja Wangnan lists his DudeLooksLikeALady and good friend Nia Nya as "My beloved Nia~♥♥" on his contacts for what amounts to a cellphone in the world of ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod''. |
| 172 | * ''Webcomic/WintersInLavelle'': Rio and Xan. Xan is outright rough and unfriendly with everybody but Rio, who he [[http://wintersinlavelle.com/?p=462 dotes]] [[http://wintersinlavelle.com/?p=668 over]] in his own, brusque way. The two even have their own [[http://wintersinlavelle.com/?p=332 secret whistle call]] to find each other in the woods. (When the comic originally debuted, there were banner ads (featuring those two characters) on [[http://yaoi.y-gallery.net/ y!gallery]]. Due to the nature of that site, some people were [[NeverTrustaTrailer mislead]] about the characters' relationship.) |
| 173 | * ''Webcomic/TheWotch: Cheer!'' |
| 174 | ** Alex and Lita. Starts with Lita putting a ticket in Alex's tin for the "Win A Date With A Cheerleader" raffle, continues with her making an [[{{Bifauxnen}} outfit]] for Alex to wear on said date, and only takes off from there. [[http://www.cheercomic.com/?date=20080625 With]] SleepCute! And soon after, Lita immediately deduces the dream she is in isn't hers when she notices Alex is "wearing way too many clothes". |
| 175 | *** [[http://www.cheercomic.com/?date=2006-05-25 Don't be silly, honey! It's under your name... Alex King.]] While Alex is trying to convince everyone that she's not a "sir", even though her subconscious [[GenderBender still remembers that she once was.]] |
| 176 | *** [[http://www.cheercomic.com/?date=2007-11-27 "Why are you naked?"]] |
| 177 | ** Karen and Sarah. [[http://www.cheercomic.com/?date=2006-11-30 It]] ''is'' [[http://www.cheercomic.com/?date=2006-12-02 as blatant]]. "We can both be princesses! [[KnightInShiningArmor Or knights!]] [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Or princess knights!]] I'll be Lady Sir Vande Hoef, and you can be Sir Lady West!" |
| 178 | * Sandra and Crystal from ''Webcomic/ZebraGirl''. In Sam's universe, where he's the alternate of Sandra, he's in a relationship with Crystal's counterpart; he's quite confused when she gets a boyfriend. |
| 179 | * Peridot from ''Webcomic/CucumberQuest'' appears at first to have a one-sided rivalry with Almond. In the comic it's become rather clear that this is masking something else, as Peridot constantly becomes flustered and blushes a lot in Almond's presence. Amped up to eleven in the author's tumblr bonus comics. Almond for her part swoons over a female TV heroine, complete with twinkling love hearts. |
| 180 | * ''Webcomic/SkinHorse'': |
| 181 | ** This between Tip and Konstantin forms the whole basis of the "And All the Lovely Ladies" arc, which starts [[http://skin-horse.com/comic/todays-comic-336/ here]], and culminates [[http://skin-horse.com/comic/todays-comic-376/ here]]. |
| 182 | ** Immediately after the resolution of the "Once And Future" arc, Unity (in Dr Lee's body) and Tigerlily Jones [[http://skin-horse.com/comic/todays-comic-867/ kiss]] (which is rather sweet). [[http://skin-horse.com/comic/todays-comic-869/ The next strip]] not only breaks the Fourth Wall to lampshade the Fanservice but also calls back to "And All The Lovely Ladies". |
| 183 | * ''Webcomic/GRRLPower'': Dabbler being a succubus and willing to do anyone makes this common. Especially since her breasts (and anything else that might be considered seductive) are literally hypnotic. See pages [[https://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-196-girls-go-to-the-bathroom-in-pairs-to-talk-star-trek-and-boobs-right/ 196]] and [[https://grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-281-the-power-of-the-grrls/ 281]]. |
| 184 | * In ''Webcomic/YourThrone'', whenever Medea and Psyche are in the same room, the air is practically on fire between them. |
| 185 | -->'''Medea:''' It aches me to not wipe away your tears for fear that those watching might see. |
