/vt/ - Virtual Youtubers

This is probably an Extremely Queer sentiment, but I have sappy fondness for Uki's interactions with Vox beyond just horny fanservice. Vox has talked about being bi or bicurious but having zero actual experience, and odds are he's never going engage in much more than talk. But he's always been more than a little awkward about the topic (outside of shock value jokes with Mysta and Shoto) when sincerity of any kind was involved, and that absolutely reads to me as "no real experience but tentative curiosity".

Uki's attempts to flirt with Vox early on fell so flat, but it really feels like Vox has gotten more comfortable with time, and I like to think that it's been a way for Vox to test the waters a little without any consequences. In all likelihood I don't think Vox will ever go much beyond "bicurious" but Uki is both extremely gay and also safe - he flirts with everyone equally, and he's actually quite cautious irl. I don't know if I'm explaining well, but I know a lot of queer people had someone in their life who was out and didn't shy away from being gay, and it created sort of a space to engage with that without demanding more. And someone like Uki who's pretty and affectionate but not actually asking for more with their irl interactions...I just suspect he's probably put some of Vox's curiosity to rest and left him feeling a little more confident and aware of himself.

Sorry for the essay, I know this probably all sounds faggy, Vox's growth and vulnerability just makes me cry happy tears sometimes.
