Queer League of Legends Champions (with explanations) - Part II

Check out Part I

Confirmed Pansexuals – Twisted Fate

Twisted Fate was always speculated to be part of the LGBTQ+ community due to his, uh, flamboyancy. The sentiment that he felt something more for Graves was always there, portrayed in their stories through regret, friendship, and loyalty. The Boys and Bombolini color story officially confirmed him as queer, making TFGraves the faces of Pride 2022. This year, he was also seen with the pansexual flag in official pride art, with Riot finally labeling him. It's worth noticing a cute detail (that I doubt was intentional) where his card deck's colors form the colors of his flag!

Confirmed Queers – Ahri, Ekko, Evelynn, Ezreal, Kayn, Nidalee, Renata Glasc, Samira, Taric, Udyr

Ok, this is a long category. Here we have every champion we know for sure is queer, either through external confirmation (Ekko, Ezreal, Kayn, Renata Glasc, Taric), in-game dialogue (Nidalee, Samira, Udyr), or basic lore (Ahri, Evelynn). Let's start with the first group.

Throughout the first half of 2020, Riot released multiple chapters of a Pulsifire color story focused on Ezreal. It explored his relationships with numerous champions of the universe, but especially Ekko. The subtext was strong in this one, and the writer later took to Twitter to talk about how tough it was to have queer stories be censored when working for IPs, not so subtly mentioning Ezreal and Ekko after doing so. Even though Riot might not have agreed with making the Ezko relationship undeniably romantic, their love for one another is still an important part of the story, not to mention that it was the creator's intended vision to begin with.

Renata Glasc was confirmed as sapphic by one of her creators when sharing concept art of her design. Checking the link to the original post, they seem to have deleted the excerpt that mentions it, but people took screenshots before they edited it, most likely because of Riot. Taric, on the other hand, has been speculated to be queer since forever, although the motives are not that pure. Many people saw this hairless, beautiful man that likes jewels and was like, "Huh, that sounds kinda gay," which was the common dudebro mentality of the fandom at the time of his release that caused a lot of homophobia within the player base (more than usual). They weren't wrong, seeing as Riot did include Taric in official 2023 pride art, but he was not seen wearing or holding any flags. After all, it would make sense that he likes everything—and everyone—beautiful. But either way, both Taric and Renata are non-specified queers.

Shieda Kayn is a weirder case. I thought a lot about whether I should even include him in this category at all. There are many accounts of people affirming one of Kayn's writers pictured him as having fluid sexuality, but since then, wherever it was posted, it's gone now. I do believe it since we can still find Reddit threads on the subject, but the original source is nowhere to be found. I still decided to put him here, but take it with a grain of salt.

Moving on to our next category, we have Nidalee, Samira, and Udyr. Samira flirts more than once with Elegant Edge in Legends of Runeterra, and her attraction for her is not subtle. As far as I'm aware, she's never expressed interest in men, but we can't say for sure whether she's bi, pan, or gay. Nidalee and Udyr have had speculated romantic interests in other champions for a while now. Nidalee with Neeko, Udyr with Lee Sin. Nidalee and Neeko's story was first portrayed as one-sided, with Neeko rejected by her friend, prompting them to part ways. On the other hand, the addition of both champions to Legends of Runeterra explored their relationship once again, with the two reuniting and Nidalee finally realizing she did love Neeko and simply didn't know how to deal with it all those years ago. A love song, Shine On, even accompanied the update, which narrates their story beautifully. They have many romantic voice lines now, both in LoR and League.

With Udyr's rework, people started realizing he digs Lee Sin through voice lines expressing how he misses his "old friend" and that he's "loved twice, left twice" (which applies to his relationship with Lee Sin). Besides, his design includes memorabilia he exchanged with Lee Sin when they parted ways. It is also important to mention he's had a wife before, so he swings both ways. I think the context gives more than enough clues for us to safely say Udyr is queer.

Ahri and Evelynn are spirits/demons that prey on their victims (regardless of gender) through charm and seduction. Ahri is essentially a succubus, and Evelynn is the Demon of Agony, with desire and lust being important parts of their characters. It is also worth noting that Evelynn is genderfluid/agender, taking the form of anyone (or anything) that might lure her victims. So their lore essentially confirms them as not straight and not cis (on Evelynn's case, at least).

Headcanon

Nidalee actually has Heard people from the nearby villages sing lullabies to their children while she hunts. And she has actually liked those songs very much.

She normally lulls the Paakiti to sleep. Specially in really rainy days, because, you'll see, Paakiti aré really afraid of rain. They aré Cats, after all.

Neeko, on the other hand, feels a bit afraid of Fire, since It reminds her of the destruction of her home island. Whenever there's a wildfire, Nidalee holds her like she does with the Paakiti, and lulls her to sleep.

And they sleep in each other's arms.

I already said this before but since they're getting more content: Could we go for "Nidaleeko" as Nidalee and Neeko's shipname?

I think the most popular alternative is "Neekolee", but I feel like that's kinda meh because it feels like just Neeko's name with a "lee" at the end. But in Nidaleeko, both their names connect through the "ee" in Nidalee and Neeko, and I find it really cute.

neeko nidalee for the songs thingy!!!!! girls :3

girls indeed!!!! i love them so much

so, here goes the list:

— “Giving In To The Love” by AURORA because i felt like i needed to give them an AURORA song and like come on nidalee give in to the love

— “Paradise” by Satanicpornocultshop because fear of loving is a recurring motif in their relationship (even tho the melody doesn’t really fit them imo)

— “Show You a Body” by Haley Heynderickx (ANGST WARNING)

— “Observer Effect” by The Nychillaharmonic (angst warning but less hurtful this time)

— the mandatory brazilian song this time is “Só Sei Dançar Com Você” by Tulipa Ruiz and Zé Pi (“I only know how to dance with you”)

i purposely avoided the glass animals songs you mentioned in your post to challenge myself (but theyre really good!!)

#thank you for the ask <3 #league of legends #cali asks #neekolee #nidalee #neeko

Is there a consensus for a Neeko x Nidalee shipname? Cause I just wanted to propose "Nidaleeko".

I know that Riot BR used Neekolee for their ship bundle, but I honestly don't like that one so much because their names don't really connect naturally in it, it's just Neeko + lee at the end.

For a more connected name, "Needalee" works great in spelling, but the pronunciation is just the same as Nidalee, so you wouldn't be able to tell apart the ship ne from her name.

So, I think Nidaleeko is something that sounds cute and fun, distinguishable, and perfectly connects their names!
