World of Warcraft/Ho Yay

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Implied in the night elf military, but that's a gender segregation thing. Also, almost all of the male night elves spent the last 10,000 years in the Emerald Dream as druids.
  • Skyguard Khatie, a neutral gnome quest-giver of the Sha'tari Skyguard, flirts with the player at every opportunity, regardless of the player character's gender. Crosses into outright Squick if the player happens to be playing a tauren, draenei, Forsaken, etc.
    • Hot Tauren on Gnome Action?
    • Khatie's dialogue with the player changes depending on their standing with the Skyguard, going from casual flirtation with a colleague to Khatie coming off as being somewhat tongue-tied in your presence. It's actually led to her being sort of a woobie for the WoW community.
    • It's much the same story with the Alliance Brewfest vendor, Belbi Quickswitch. However, the fact that she is wearing goggles that make everyone look like mostly naked male gnomes might have something to do with it.
      • That and, you know, all the beer.
  • Sentinel Sweetspring, a female Night Elf in Star's Rest, will occasionally grin and "waggle her eyebrows suggestively" at the also female Sentinel Amberline.
  • There's an epic quest chain in the Badlands were you are told three hilarious stories by three different people. The third guy will tell you that the first two stories weren't that great because, among other flaws, they had no hot babes in them. When you're phased to his version of the story, you are surrounded by hot babes... one of whom is a male blood elf. Should you choose to take the male Blood Elf with you during the quest, he even refers to him as a "strapping Blood Elf", so it's not another "no one can tell the Blood Elf sexes apart" joke.
  • The new jewelcrafting daily quests in both Stormwind and Orgrimmar are given by female characters. While all five possible quests are "Futurama" references, "A Present for Lila" makes it sound a lot like both questgivers are employing you to make them a gift that they can give to their mutual love interest, a one-eyed female pirate captain.
  • Anren Shadowseeker, a night elf, and Tholo Whitehoof, a tauren, first appeared in Cataclysm as unremarkable quest givers who happened to be standing next to one another just outside the starting area in Hyjal Summit. In patch 4.2, during the Molten Front dailies, they reappear to help fight the invasion from the Firelands, and every single thing (no, really, literally every bit of dialogue or quest text, with maybe one or two exceptions) either one of them says has to do with their deep friendship and devotion to one another. By the eighth or ninth time you run into them, it's difficult for anyone, regardless of personal inclinations, to not be wondering when they're just going to start making out.
    • Speaking of the Molten Front dailies, one quest has you running around a battlefield healing wounded druids, who will thank you when they get up. At least one of the thank you quotes has the druid coyly suggesting they'd like to find a way to repay you later on, regardless of your character's gender.
    • Most pairs of male characters have to work to get to Those Two Guys status. Anren and Tholo use it as starting blocks in a 100 meter dash to the Ho Yay finish line.
  • Koltira and Thassarian, come on now.
