Is conquest gay
In this bold fan theory, we dive deep into the psychological and emotional layers of Conquest — one of the deadliest characters in Invincible. He's way more explicitly gay in this incarnation and is shown to be in a relationship with another guy. Yeah, William was openly gay in episode one. They made it very clear they weren’t bringing that plot point back in his very first scene.
In the show jailbait William was a bit cringe though. He was expressing his joy in fighting Mark (no homo) 55% After that one Invincible variant was confirmed to be gay, simply for saying he misses William 18% Didn't he say something about. Conquest is a major antagonist in the Image Comics series Invincible and its animated adaptation of the same name.
He is a very old Viltrumite, and arguably the second most powerful behind Thragg. Conquest is a BL/Yaoi Fighting-Themed Visual Novel Game.
The game is being developed on Unity which supports cross-platform development for Windows and Android, and also possibly Mac, iOS and Linux (depending on demand). What does pinball have to offer in the context of consent and queerness? To answer that, first we need to discuss what consent means.

At the lower left of any pinball machine, there are rules. These are options for participating in a narrative. Every machine is different. So what does this mean in the context of the game? You listen to the machine, you listen to the rules,, and you anticipate the needs of the machine. Pinball is actually very sensual. On the matter of tilting—let me tell you about the plumb bob.
