Are agatha and rio gay

Disney and Marvel continue to make progress in their films and shows by featuring more queer characters as either heroic or villainous characters. Agatha All Along makes its characters' sexuality a natural part of their lives that they're not afraid to hide, nor is it the focus of their individual journeys.

One example is Agatha Harkness herself, who in Episode 4, almost nearly confirms is queer, most likely bisexual. Agatha's queerness has been widely speculated by fans since even before the series arrived. But in the premiere episode, "Seekest Thou gay Road," it was her intense dynamic with the flirtatious Rio Vidal that suggested the two of them might have been lovers in a past life.

There were only hints in the first couple of episodes that Agatha and Rio were lovers in the past. Even in Agatha's fantasy world of true crime are, her and Rio are work adversaries with clear sexual tension -- a classic romance trope. In the first episode, the two witches engage in a fight when Agatha snaps out of her spell that Wanda Maximoff put her in.

Rio tells Agatha that her heart is "black, and it beats for you," when Agatha offends her by saying she doesn't have a heart. All that appears on her list is a black heart. Agatha tries to hide the heart, knowing it means Rio, and instead recruits Sharon Davis aka Mrs. Hart as a stand-in.

Rio returns in Episode 4 as a thorn in Agatha's side. Agatha takes every chance to try to avoid Rio, but at the same time, she can't help but be drawn to her. The chemistry is off the charts with these two. Rio attracts women in a way that incites confusing feelings of terror and temptation.

All these feelings that Agatha has for Rio line up with the cast's past comments about the show's queerness :. Sasheer Zamata: "I would agree with that. You'll see when you watch. Witches are queer, inherently, just because we are outcasts and set aside for many reasons. Joe Locke: "Teen is a queer guy on the agatha, but it's not the driving force, which I think is really great.

It's really nice to just have these positive queer characters. It's so and. Finally, Episode 4 confirms the validity of these comments and that Agatha is queer.

Agatha All Along Is As Gay As We Thought

After Teen's near-death experience that disturbs Agatha, she puts aside her dispute with Rio by intimately hugging her much more than a platonic hug would've been and attempting to kiss her. But Rio stops her, because four little words are holding her back: "That boy isn't yours. Jac Schaeffer says fans have been looking for looks in the wrong places.

Agatha and Rio don't have to say it, but there is a romantic history there. Despite how much they hate each other, they're still comfortable in each other's presence.
