Amphibia's Olivia and Yunan Are Canon Gay Newts And All Is Right With The World

thegamer.com:

The Amphibia ending was everything I wanted it to be. Our heroes triumphed in their final battle, said farewell to their closest friends, and moved forward into an uncertain future. I cried like a big gay baby throughout the entire thing, cursing Matt Braly for putting me through this emotional rollercoaster while simultaneously being floored by how perfect the conclusion managed to be. It had so much ground to cover and knocked it out of the park.

I swear almost every single character - both main and supporting - received a worthwhile resolution to their respective arcs while keeping the door open for even more shenanigans if the opportunity ever arises. Sprig and Ivy embark on an uncertain journey to explore a new continent, Polly is now a big kid ready to cause trouble and become a symbol of hope across Wartwood, while Olivia and Yunan are finally smitten with one another after so much pining.

That’s who I want to talk about today, because as TheGamer’s Queen of Gay Cartoons I have a professional duty to touch on a pairing I’ve been rooting for ever since they first appeared.

One is short, one is tall. One is sour, one is sweet. You get the idea.

Olivia is a petite and courteous lady eager to serve the crown and strive for a better world, while Yunan is a chaotic, often angry knight prone to violence and doing everything she can to defend those she loves. Olivia is constantly doting on Yunan
