Well, I've never posted anything about Unicorn Academy, even though I've been watching this series since the beginning. But I have to admit that this season got me, maybe because it has the gayest episode of the whole series? Maybe, details, details...

But sick and fired… what an episode, huh? I'll probably do a separate post just about Isabel and Valentina's moments, but what was that scene with River and Cinder? Excuse me, when did they decide to make a unicorn yaoi?

The way they show River walking under Cinder's flames, containing the fire. He is so angry with himself after accidentally putting Val in danger, that poor show-off unicorn really loves his rider.

Another thing I can't ignore is how cute River is in this frame, approaching Cinder with a smile and ignoring him warnings to piss off. As if he were saying, "Stop being so dramatic, everything is gonna be fine. Let me help you."

So River simply embrace him and Cinder relaxes and enjoys the contact with River's body. He doesn't put out Cinder's fire, he disperses it. He redirects the warm and uses it to vaporize all the accumulated tension. It's very interesting how their powers can cancel each other out. River can put out Cinder's fire, but Cinder can also boil River's water until it evaporates. I wonder if they'll explore that again in the future, I'd love it.

In the end, they really are the perfect pair, aren't they? Two gay unicorns for two lesbian riders hahahahaha

Before concluding my thoughts, I needed to talk about this specific scene. The bond between Isabel and River is so strong now, they've learned so much from each other. Notice the expression on Isabel's face. She trusts that River can help and she is so proud of him for taking the initiative. He's braver now, more confident. Isabel is more relaxed, more responsible, she knows when to stop. She no longer has that sense of urgency to always be doing something, to always be the best. SHE UNDERSTOOD, SHE LEARNED. I loved their development, they are exactly what the other needed.
