Elmer is obviously attracted to Bugs in a way that Bugs is more aware of than Elmer but I don't think Bugs totally understands the depths of how reciprocal it is on his end. A fascinating relationship.

Elmer identifies as straight but is actually a masc cisgender closeted male lesbian, Bugs is a genderfluid grayromantic pansexual but would never identify as those things because they aren’t that interested in self-knowledge or community, and together they’re in an enemies-to-friends flirtationship.
Although the cartoons with him paired with Wile E. are far from my favorites, I have a soft spot for Rabbit's Feat because it's perhaps the most toxic pairing while also oddly the most flirtatious. Of course, that's a me thing lol
I don't mind them but I have to think of him as a different guy than the real Wile E. Coyote to square it in my head. Honestly Ralph Wolf feels much more like the genuine article than this William F. Buckley snob.
I once found this lovingly rendered picture of a gussied up Bugs sewing Elmer, who was draped over his lap, into a latex skin suit. Piéta style. Glorious.
It’s not the chase, it’s the longing.
Bugs sidesteps and suddenly he’s wearing the dress, the heels, the perfume that smells like the fantasy Elmer won’t let himself give into.
He’s teasing the hunter deeper into the woods where the air is thick and wet and humming with things left unspoken.
We didn't have many movies and stuff, all we had was what we taped off TV when I was younger and luckily they had a "best of" kind of collection for bugs bunny once and we watched that tape almost constantly.
And so many of them were bugs and elmer, especially this one:
Imma be real, when I read the name "Elmer", my first immediate thought was of the "Torture-Me Elmer" gag from Sam and Max, rather than, y'know, Elmer Fudd.
I feel this in my bones. Elmer doesn't want to admit how much he enjoys being strung along by Bugs and Bugs doesn't want to admit how much he gets off on having that much power over Elmer.
I've had to still my hand from writing so much "sub top, dom bottom, dub-con" smut of them.

you can find people whose interest in you is not toxic
Bugs (and Tina) is the Straight Man in The Looney Tunes Show. He still casually almost-murders Daffy on several occasions.
The Looney Tunes Show arguably has *more* subtext, since "roommates".

...Does that make me avant garde, or just stupid?
