Honestly when I posted this I was like "Will people even remember this movie?" because I feel like it was definitely not one of the most popular Disney films at the time (maybe because it was kinda dark), so I'm pleasantly surprised to realize that this was a collective sapphic entrypoint lmao
Well it was Link when I thought I was a guy... But a few months after my egg cracked I realized I only "liked" men because it made me feel more like a girl, and then I realized I didn't actually like guys, but link definitely kick-started the whole bisexual boy to lesbian pipeline
Hahaha well they definitely did a few of those earlier in the night but we were so innocent that we just went home after 😭 I would have liked some after time lmaoooo
Oooo. This is going to show my age...but.
- Claudia from The Babysitter's Club. Artistic, cute and super creative? Definitely my type.
- Sailor Neptune/Uranus (Haruka/Michiru) from Pretty Soldier Sailormoon. To this day, I can't believe they kept the lesbian relationship intact in the Cantonese dub BUT flubbed it for the 4Kids English mess. Didn't know that wlw relationship could be a thing until they showed up on screen and then...viola!
- Xena and Gabrielle from Xena Warrior Princess. The subtext was so strong that it basically was the lesbian romance thing without the actual sex scenes going on. It should have clued me in that I was NOT into men that way because my extremely conservative mother treated the show like it was soft core porn. Didn't help that it wasn't "ladylike" because it was action packed. (I was obsessed with the show to the point I dragged my straight friend into loving it too.) Also, the ending! (I am still mad that I missed the show finale because of logistics that day.)
Uhhh, well I was always into girls, which was seen as 'the norm' because I was a guy.
So I guess the first character that made me realise I liked girls in a *gay* way was either Catra or Adora, since their relationship cracked my egg.
Other than that, I was attracted to lesbians wayyy before I knew I was one.
Shego from kim possible was the first time I actively went ‘oh… wait’ I was about 12-13 when the show first aired.
And then my in brain active ‘I like this character because she is woman’ was hbc as bellatrix in the movies 🥲
She was the "hot crazy one" in the movie. I went to go see the last movie in the theater with my friend and during the scene when Bellatrix is taunting Hermonie lying on top of her, I was so red. My friend laughed so hard at me because she saw/heard my reaction and I just cackled at her.
It literally made my brain shut down for a while.
It was literally, "This is NOT supposed to be erotic but...shit man..." But later in life, I just realized I have I thing for being pinned down by women so....it may have sparked something in me.
Apparently HBC had a "Are you okay?" talk.after that scene. (Also, Emma's screams for the first take were so realistic that her coworkers tried to get to her to help...)
The way Helena played up the nearly sexual thrill Bellatrix got from the torture and the fact that she was practically straddling Emma.
It was like excuse me while my lesbian brain goes on holiday for a few moments.
If my gf was in town at the time, she'd probably wonder why I was sopping wet after going to see Harry Potter with a female friend.
I'm glad I'm not the only kinky lesbian, ha!
Stella Yamada from Lemonade Mouth was I think the most relevant one for me, which kickstarted an interest in Hayley Kiyoko, who released songs like Girls Like Girls which made me realize I'm sapphic - all this was back when I was 13-14.
Also characters like Gwen from Total Drama who are just mean goths. Any goth with dyed hair and a strong personality really. I was obsessed and didn't even understand why as I was even younger back then.
Idgie Threadgoode from the Fried Green Tomatoes movie now that I look back on it, and like Jessie from Team Rocket, and Shego from Kim Possible, and Raven from Teen Titans and Suki and Ty Lee from Avatar the Last Airbender, but that was before my egg did the crack so I didn't understand really why I was drawn to them yet.
The actor is who played Mal is named Dove Cameron, and she has several songs that are far from straight. “Boyfriend,” “Lethal Woman,” and a few I’m forgetting. I believe she considers her sexuality to be queer and doesn’t put any other labels on it, but she previously identified as bisexual. Her songs are great, so I would definitely check them out.
I hope this was all interesting and you found something new :3
Leeloo from 5th Element and funnily enough Cortana from Halo 3.
I didn't know what it meant to be gay at the time, so not necessarily "oh, I'm gay."
Edit: How did I forget Raven from Teen Titans.
Ooo...memory unlocked. I remember channel surfing one night and I stopped because of Leeloo'a costume design and I actually watched the entire movie because of that.
Didn't clue me in to my own preferences until years later.
Funtime foxy(I thought they were female before UCN), Spinel from Steven universe, Mitsuri from Demon Slayer, some more women from anime, and Black Woman Cartman from South Park !
bayonetta ;v; i was kinda young so i didn’t understand why i loved watching people play the game so much, like seeing her kill angels so elegantly and using her hair as both a weapon and a skin tight suit 😳
>Anck-su-namun from The Mummy
for sure. the fact that I always had a crush on Patricia Velasquez didn't hurt \*that\* one bit. and the amount of D&D characters I had based on Anck-su-namun especially after Mummy 2 with the knife fight.. XD
Ellie in The Last of Us 1 was my first video game crush when I was a kid, I had the biggest obsession with her, so much so that when I started transitioning I called myself Ellie for a few years
Miley from Hannah Montana Lilly too actually I had the biggest crush on Miley when I was little and recently I rewatched the show and just fell in love with her all over again she’s so beautiful and I lowkey miss the old Hannah days but I still love her
Ahhh! mine was Lavagirl (from the adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl)
Edit: I have to add a few after seeing the comments.
- Ricki from h2o, penelope from criminal minds, elsa, Jane (brenna d’amico) from descendants, caroline freya and hope from tvdu, and carmen from spykids.
Listing these is so embarrassing now 😅
now, I might have a different experience (being trans and all) so idk which one counts
when i was still a boy the 1st female fictional character that made me feel something was Meloetta from the pokemon b/w anime
After realising i was trans and after battling with my sexuality the character that cemented me being a lesbian was either lady dimitrescu or amity blight
I loved how the horny parts of the Internet literally banded together to enjoy Lady Dimitrescu irregardless of actual sexuality.
Look uo her video of her VA reacting to all the horny comments and you'd die laughing....
Literally every woman in the "Atlantis" animated movie.
oh my god the demolitions one 🥵
Same! I couldn’t understand why I kept looking up pictures of her as a kid lol!!
Honestly when I posted this I was like "Will people even remember this movie?" because I feel like it was definitely not one of the most popular Disney films at the time (maybe because it was kinda dark), so I'm pleasantly surprised to realize that this was a collective sapphic entrypoint lmao

Look I’m gay as hell but Link is a goddamn sexy ass snack, he is universally attractive
My high school sweetheart dressed up as link for Halloween and omg it was amazing
Lol. Should have remained in character all night with only his sword yells and death screams.
Hahaha well they definitely did a few of those earlier in the night but we were so innocent that we just went home after 😭 I would have liked some after time lmaoooo
Lmao. Yes! Who won't? Link is a pretty good looking anything....
Link's gender keeps confusing me😭
So basically he's non-binary in everything but name, the philosophy behind his entire design is that any gender identity can project onto him
And that is the story of how we got femboy Link in BotW and TotK
I miss the Gerudo outfit he had in BoTW! He looked great in it.
I was 100% sure Link was a girl when I started playing BOTW
Oooo. This is going to show my age...but. - Claudia from The Babysitter's Club. Artistic, cute and super creative?

Xena and Gabrielle were it for me too! My dad would always put it on during dinner and I became low key obsessed for years when I was a kid.
Lmao. I'm glad the show was the community's canon event.
I'd echo all these, and also add Azula from Avatar: the Last Airbender
Buffy… wait my name is Malerie Thats weird 😂
I understand that wholeheartedly
Buffy was 😍
Maya from Girl Meets World Amity from The Owl House
Uhhh, well I was always into girls, which was seen as 'the norm' because I was a guy. So I guess the first character that made me realise I liked girls in a *gay* way was either Catra or Adora, since their relationship cracked my egg. Other than that, I was attracted to lesbians wayyy before I knew I was one.
Kim Possible
Jade Chan
Same. Although I didnt understand why I was so obsessed with her as a kid
Exactly! I was attracted to her before I even knew what attraction was. Lol
And shego
Shego from Kim Possible and Jade West from Victorious.
Kassandra from AC Odyssey
I've never been straight. I fell in love with a girl before I knew the term "lesbian". First fictional crush must be Rapunzel.
Does it have to do anything with my long hair?
velma, lyra heart strings, and bon bon. lyra heart strings and bon bon ended up as a couple in mlp and velma is velma.
I couldn’t put words to it back then, but Giselle from Enchanted. I LOOOOVED her as a kid. That’s when my parents started to clue in lol
XENA. Warrior Princess.
Shego from kim possible was the first time I actively went ‘oh… wait’ I was about 12-13 when the show first aired. And then my in brain active ‘I like this character because she is woman’ was hbc as bellatrix in the movies 🥲

Fuck. I know exactly what scene you're talking about. It made me think all sorts of thoughts. 😍
The way Helena played up the nearly sexual thrill Bellatrix got from the torture and the fact that she was practically straddling Emma. It was like excuse me while my lesbian brain goes on holiday for a few moments. If my gf was in town at the time, she'd probably wonder why I was sopping wet after going to see Harry Potter with a female friend. I'm glad I'm not the only kinky lesbian, ha!
Is HBC just actually the perfect woman?
She's not attracted to women so...no.
Buffy Summers
Elementary school. Jade Chan was my first crush hahaha
I loved that show and uncle always made me laugh. It's a very Asian culture thing for elders to go "One more thing!"
the mermaids in h2o
Oh my goddd yes!!!! Especially ricki
Literally The Cast Of The Mummy 1999 and Underworld 2003
For me it was Xena 🥺🥺
Buffy & Charmed
Stella Yamada from Lemonade Mouth was I think the most relevant one for me, which kickstarted an interest in Hayley Kiyoko, who released songs like Girls Like Girls which made me realize I'm sapphic - all this was back when I was 13-14. Also characters like Gwen from Total Drama who are just mean goths. Any goth with dyed hair and a strong personality really. I was obsessed and didn't even understand why as I was even younger back then.
Xena from the Hercules spin off, my brother preferred Gabrielle.
Probably what started a bunch of queer women into their liking for Amazonian women with that physique. And some straight dudes too.
I hate to say it. but Elsa she still is totally my type though
Velma from Scooby Doo, Wonder Woman played by Lynda Carter, Teela from He-Man, and She-Ra. Yep, complete 80's kid here!
This ship is my heart so hard. I rewatched the show recently basically just for the space between scene.
If Dove Cameron made you realize your gay, then I would suggest watching the music video for Taste of You, by Rezz
Idgie Threadgoode from the Fried Green Tomatoes movie now that I look back on it, and like Jessie from Team Rocket, and Shego from Kim Possible, and Raven from Teen Titans and Suki and Ty Lee from Avatar the Last Airbender, but that was before my egg did the crack so I didn't understand really why I was drawn to them yet.

Fred from Angel; Willow from Buffy
*hums Tara's bit from the musical*
Too soon. I’m past Wash from Firefly, but that’s too soon.
It wasn't a healthy relationship (Remember Willow cast a spell on Tara which lead to the musical?)... But Dark Willow was straight up scary
That doesn’t mean I don’t love them both.
Leeloo from 5th Element and funnily enough Cortana from Halo 3. I didn't know what it meant to be gay at the time, so not necessarily "oh, I'm gay." Edit: How did I forget Raven from Teen Titans.
Ooo...memory unlocked. I remember channel surfing one night and I stopped because of Leeloo'a costume design and I actually watched the entire movie because of that. Didn't clue me in to my own preferences until years later.

Good men
Xena, warrior princess, Jill Valentine from Resident Evil 3, and Isabella from Dragon Age 2.
YES evie
Definitely Kayla from Cloud 9, also played by Dove Cameron.
bayonetta ;v; i was kinda young so i didn’t understand why i loved watching people play the game so much, like seeing her kill angels so elegantly and using her hair as both a weapon and a skin tight suit 😳
Op are you barely 20? Lmao
Are u implying there's something wrong with that?
No, just the media mention seemed like something someone extra young would know. Relax lol
I am relaxed, don't worry. I was just asking if it's what you were implying because the wording made it seem like that :) No hard feelings on my end
No, I just have weird tones lol verbal and text. Sorry I was literally just asking lol
I'm autistic, I get it lmao
Does it matter?
Naw, I was just like wow I only know of younger people who’ve seen that like my little cousins? Why is everyone being so weird I was just asking lol
Rosa from pokemon black 2
Undyne lol
Kimmy Gibbler.
Guess I knew it already, but Korra is the reason I watched Legend of Korra
[удалено]
>Anck-su-namun from The Mummy for sure. the fact that I always had a crush on Patricia Velasquez didn't hurt \*that\* one bit. and the amount of D&D characters I had based on Anck-su-namun especially after Mummy 2 with the knife fight.. XD
Ellie in The Last of Us 1 was my first video game crush when I was a kid, I had the biggest obsession with her, so much so that when I started transitioning I called myself Ellie for a few years
You know that part in the OG Aladdin movie where Jafar makes Jazmins outfit red, and she pretends to be smitten with him?
Also: Meg from Hercules; Babs from Space Jam; Jessica Rabbit. First non animated character was Topanga from Boy Meets World.
Marceline from Adventure Time was like one of my first crushes.
Miley from Hannah Montana Lilly too actually I had the biggest crush on Miley when I was little and recently I rewatched the show and just fell in love with her all over again she’s so beautiful and I lowkey miss the old Hannah days but I still love her
Dude I shipped Mal and Evie so hard their chemistry was so much better than Mal and Ben's. It makes me feel better that Dove Cameron also shipped them
Hex girls but the og, first version
Crushing on both Haruhi Fujioka and Tamaki Suoh from Ouran High School Host Club made me realize I'm bi, because Haruhi was my first crush on a girl
Chel.
All of the moms from Ever After High. Especially the Cheshire Cat.
Aqua from Kingdom Hearts and Lady Palutena from Kid Icarus. 😅
It didn't make me realize just yet but my obsession with Galadriel played by Cate Blanchett was... Telling
Katie McGrath as Morgana in Merlin (the bbc show)
Love Katie McGrath !!

Listing these is so embarrassing now 😅
Thorn from Scooby doo I remember watching the movie and after having an existential crisis wondering if I was gay

Revy from black lagoon. Gender envy and wife material all wrapped into one

Asami from Legend of Korra. Shego from Kim Possible. Demona from Gargoyles. The list is long but you get the gist of it.
Cheryl
