Still listening to the Rusty Quill Gaming podcast. Spoilers through episode 25, "A Wilde After-Party" under the cut.
If someone had told me that one of the characters in RQG would turn out to be queer, I wouldn't have been terribly surprised, although I wasn't really expecting it, either.
And I definitely wasn't expecting it to be Bertie. It's no shock that Bertie's idea of flirtation is the single entendre, but for the object of said flirtation to be alternate!Oscar Wilde (young version, and hotter than Oscar ever was, just for good measure) was pleasant indeed.
And . . . apparently Zolf may be queer as well? I mean, I'm not sure how else to interpret him saying that he'd have been annoyed at Bertie for shagging a journalist, were it not that Oscar has "a really great butt."
This places the whole sewer-swimming scene, the one where Bertie and Zolf keep "locking eyes" while Zolf is naked, in a new light. I honestly thought that was just a joke, the sort that one sees all the time in media between men who are canonically Very Very Not Queer. But apparently our friends at Rusty Towers do not see queer people as a joke.
Well done Rusty Quill!

Also: now you know that Wilde's a recurring character, I can say that he's my absolute favourite Rusty Quill NPC and (suitably vague, I hope) what Alex goes on to do with him is amazing.
I love this excellent comment re: stuff you have seen so far:
