PrideToons 1/4 - Gay
Perhaps my most self-indulgent project this year (so far), this little collection is meant to display characters from some of my favorite animated series and films who are either canonically some flavor of LGBT or who many fans - myself included - consider LGBT.
Using the Gilbert Baker pride flag because I'm a sucker for its complete rainbow design.
Couples are listed from left to right.
Gabu x Mei, Arashi No Yoru Ni, Semi-canon - One of the first Japanamation films I watched in earnest. These two and their movie are adorable as well as sorta impossible to interpret as not even slightly homosexual lol. Critics have referred to this couple as having a "romantic friendship", which, much like terms like Confirmed Bachelors and Life Partners, suggests a gay relationship being kept on the down low during more archaic days.
Norman Babcock x Neil Downe, ParaNorman, Fanon - Almost every pairing to come from the ParaNorman fans back 10 years ago when this film came out (!!!) annoyed me, but this one has a special place in my heart. ParaNorman's message of social ostracization could easily apply to any number of things - race, disability, mental illness, whatever - but given the presence of Neil's canon gay brother, the creator being an openly gay man, and that same creator basing Norman off of his childhood self, it's hard to ignore how succinctly the film details the experience of being a gay youth.
Ronno x Bambi, Disney's Bambi franchise, Fanon - If you've been on this site since the wild west days, you've probably seen ship art of these two. Admittedly there's little to either character (besides Bambi's very unmasc behavioral patterns) that suggests they're either into boys or, more importantly, into each other, but that's why fanfic is so much fun lol. I think I'm drawn to this pair because it fits my own preferences for a partner; a coy, measly nerd hitting it off with a rough-n-tumble badboy is one of my fave tropes.

don't usually comment on furaffinity but i really like the shippings here especially paranorman. always feel like it's an underutilized pairing considering how good the characters are for each other honestly, but that's the internet 10 years ago for ya. i figure it would probably have been a more popular pairing if paranorman came out later on but it's sweet to see when ppl think of it
also your art is really nicely detailed and brings it to life i really like it
