Yes, I am so down for either of those (Richie coming out or Richie already being out) and supportive best friend Virgil gives me life!! I want them to go on double dates together!
I agree on Young Justice. Apparently there’s an implication that Virgil’s home life isn’t as good in the YJ universe which, just, no. His dad is such an amazing character in the original show! The scene where he confronts Richie’s dad for being racist (“you fine upstanding bigot...”) is so damn powerful and just so emblematic of who he is as a character. Just, anything with Virgil’s dad is so good. Trusting his son? Supporting his kids as a single dad?? Running a community center and helping low income families and the homeless??? No wonder Virgil became a superhero, between him and his mom! I like Sharon a lot too (and rewatching the show I’m upset that she does all the cooking and housework, hm) and also her boyfriend Rubberband Man :D
