Why Blitzø Likes Stolas

I've made jokes about Blitzø liking Stolas bcuz his type is tall, rich, powerful demons with musical talent, and that's probably kinda true, but I wanna talk about the real reasons Blitzø likes Stolas. Tldr at the end.

I think one of the major reasons Blitzø likes Stolas is how kind, sincere, and affectionate he is. Stolas is always making sure he is okay and is very passionate about litterally everything he does (dramatic little bitch, lol). And while he's ignorant ("my impish little plaything"???), he does mean well. Taking Octavia to Looloo Land to make her feel better, Going full demon mode to save IMP, his attentiveness to Blitzø during his mental breakdown in Seeing Stars, him absolutely adoring Octavia, him helping Ozzie when he gained no real benefit, etc, etc.

Also, expanding more on the affectionate part, Blitzø is shown to not get much affection or love in his life at all. His family situation was a giant mess (his dad literally sold him for 5 bucks and a condom Jesus Christ-), and Stolas is a very loving and affectionate person. Obviously, this is shown with Blitzø, but also with Octavia ('my precious little starfire', always staying patient with Via, even if he can be a bit dismissive, going full demon mode when Blitzø said he lost Via), and even his plants (he raised the flesh-eating plant since he was a kid, he pets the plant, on his insta he called a puprle rose "a handsome little rose"). And yeah, he's going to be affectione with Via, that's his daughter, but in Hell, (or maybe just from Blitzø's perspective, it'a hard to tell honestly) that's shown to be a rarity. So obviously, he's going to admire that about him.

And also, compare that to Blitzø's life. His dad saw him as less than, something happened that made his sister hate him, his mom seemed to be a good parent, but she's dead, his best friend and former crush hated his guts for 15 years, his daughter does care about him but she also mostly just shows anger and annoyance with him, and even Moxxie, who'd I'd argue is his best friend, gets annoyed with him constantly (I would too tbh but this isn't about that). Stolas just being his loving and affectionate self and being so happy to see him and always being so sweet to Blitzø is like a breath of fresh air to him.

Another thing is that Stolas shows clear interest in the things he likes. Take horses as example, bcuz we all know Blitzø is obsessed with them. Most of the time, his friends are pretty passive about it, but Stolas actually indulges him. Some of this is from their instas, but Stolas got him a horse Hoodie, he draws horses with him, and Stolas even got inspired to draw because of Blitzø.

(Also, plz note that in another post he commented that it smells like Stolas, and I want everyone to appreciate how happy he looks in this photo while smelling it again)

Blitzø probably admires Stolas's theatrics as well because despite growing up in a Circus where you were supposed to be dramatic and showy, he was still always taught to ignore or hide his true emotions (Cash ignoring that he didn't want to go to the Goetia Palace because "MONEY"). And while Stolas was raised the same way, he still wears his heart and emotions on his sleeve and is always showing them, whether it be positive or negative

And we all know thst Blitzø has major self hatred issues, but Stolas was genuinely interested in Blitzø as a person. Laughing at his jokes, asking how his day went, and with all of this, you can't help but wonder if Blitzø was figuring out that he did too. I think that's why he was so heartbroken about Ozzie's. Because to him, Stolas hiding his face was just proof that Stolas didn't care. That he was just a little plaything. But, Blitzø liked that Stolas liked him for who he was, and that he didn't have to pretend to be someone different.

Yes, ik Blitzø wasn't here for some of them, and he thinks that Stolas is just faking all of this. BUT, Blitzø can notice things subconsciously, and the stuff that Blitzø wasn't there for was to talk about Stolas's character as well. That's why I wanted to talk about this, to talk about what Blitzø sees in Stolas and his character.

Feel free to add anything if you want! I'd love to hear your guy's opinions, takes, and thoughts on the ship. I'm probably gonna a make a post on why Stolas likes Blitzø at some point, lol

Tldr; Blitzø likes Stolas because he's kind, sincere, loving, affectionate, passionate, caring, dramatic, and likes Blitzø for who he is.

Rewatching Teen Titians Go! To The Movies again (i watched it 3 days ago) and this is literally DC’s Deadpool and Wolverine (and it came out first) so I’m gonna compare them while spoiling Deadpool and Wolverine the least amount possible

The “obscure” character references:

•Challengers of the Unknown

•The Atom

•“That is where the Animaniacs live” (not DC but still Warner Brothers sort of like Marvel and Disney)

•Literally almost everyone in the background of the movie theater scenes

Poking fun at their old movies:

“There was a Green Lantern movie, but we don’t talk about that one”

“My mommy’s name is Martha too”

“Shooting a baby into space what kind of people are you?” “You are the terrible parents!” (referring to superman’s biofamily) + Krypton being saved with EDM

“Golly thanks for taking me to the movies in this dangerous neighborhood, Dad” (Batman’s parents died in crime alley)

The themes of found family

•It’s repeated several times that without Robin, Beastboy would live in a dumpster, Starfire would have to fight in alien gladiator battles, Raven would have to enslave entire planets with her dad and Cyborg would have to play professional football (which he dislikes)

Referring to their characters as characters from the Marvel

“He should be saying he’s not me, I came out like way before him.” “Nah, I’m pretty sure you’re Deadpool.” (this is a whole scene btw and Slade’s intro)

Breaking the fourth wall:

•”Look into the camera and say something inappropriate” (again when calling Deathstroke Deadpool)

•”The prefect plot device”

•Stan Lee’s cameos

•”KIDS! ASK YOUR PARENTS WHERE BABIES COME FROM”

The Meta dancing/songs

•”You need a Upbeat Inspirational Song About Life”

•My Superhero Movie

•Previously mentioned EDM music

🚨🔔 ACTUAL SPOILERS FOR DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE BELOW BEWARE!!! 🔔🚨

The meta narratives are the main similarity however, in Deadpool and Wolverine the whole “anchor being” thing is just a joke about how Fox’s media company literally died because Hugh Jackman was no longer there to bring them in the big bucks. In Teen Titans Go! To The Movies the narrative is all about the Teen Titians (Go!) characters being too unserious to get a movie, a real complaint people have had since the inception of their show.

Plus Robin and Deadpool both have abandonment issues and low self worth, Robin has a weird Lion King dream where Batman drops him off a building after other superhero’s disapprove of Robin. Deadpool secretly worries that Vanessa doesn’t love him or something???

Also both have the two main villains turn out to be in cahoots in some way, in Deadpool it’s revealed that she works for the TVA, and in Teen Titians Go! To The Movies Slade and Jade Wilson are the same person

Sometimes I have this fear of being annoying like - completely out of nowhere , even when I was having a perfectly fine day : my brain begins to think about every little thing I said either online or in real life and how it might’ve made people uncomfortable , and being hit by so much anxiety without a warning can be pretty overwhelming ;( 

Thankfully though , ever since a certain skeleton came into my life I’ve started to imagine what he’d say to me in response to these ( often ) irrational worries of mine , and it’s really been helping me to rationalize them !

I can picture him saying stuff like this : 

“Wh - literally how could that have made anyone uncomfortable ? What you said was completely fine , and lemme tell ya , I think you were really great out there ! Anyone who disagrees can go f**k themselves !!”

“Y’know I’ve always admired how much you care about others , starfire … but don’t let that become something that makes you suffer : I don’t wanna see you beat yourself up because you feel like you didn’t meet everyone’s expectations … you also need to think about your happiness , not only theirs .”

Jaw Bone’s confidence has definitely been slowly teaching me not to be so anxious when interacting with people , and honestly ? That’s a big result for me :D👍❣️

As cheesy as it may sound , JB has had such a positive influence in my life in so many ways … this guy is the best and I appreciate him very , very much ^^ 💚

I haven't even watched the Titans show yet, but I've seen enough scenes on pinterest to know this Starfire is more accurate to the one in the COMICS, like her personality and hair, and people were and apparently still are mad that she doesn't have the same outfits as in the comics? Men hate when woman superheroes aren't designed to look "sexy" huh? Just like how some men were mad about how Captain Marvel looked in the movies (like Carol as Miss Marvel, just saying Captain cause that's what they said). I believe people were even mad about Wonder Woman not being "sexy" enough too? It's a live action, it's supposed to look like REAL LIFE! And come on, I thought we were done being mad that woman characters in media are "too covered up" or something. Titans is also literally rated MA, you can't compare it to Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go, cartoons geared more towards children. STARFIRE WAS ALWAYS THIS GIRLBOSS LEADER IN THE OLDER COMICS, THATS THE STARFIRE THEY CHOSE TO PORTRAY!

Also, I literally saw someone say "she's just not that attractive" about this Starfire.

[dickgraysonsptsd]

hi, i hope you don't mind this ask bc it's not your usual posting topic, but i just saw your raven and starfire post and yeah i agree so much. i pretty much have never seen anyone talk about that specific moment but i think it's such a good relationship moment for them, showing them as foils of each other while simultaneously showing kory as desperate to protect raven. i interpret that moment as kory believing that if raven goes with trigon she'll be sa'd the way kory was (kory saying multiple times that raven doesn't understand what she's getting herself into and directly comparing her experience to what raven is about to do/just did). and she's so ready to defend raven, even in the very likely chance of death, just to save someone who she doesn't even know that well at this point from sharing her fate.

all that to say, ravenfire real forever i love them and they're both so traumatized and probably will have so many relationship problems but i believe in them

NO PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE this reply is late but thank you so much for this ask bc i have been thinking about this SO much reading teen titans!!

i definitely agree that kory expects that if raven goes with trigon he'll sexually assault her, and honestly based on this page my reading is that she's right... like the way trigon talks about raven ruling the cosmos at his side sounds like he's taking her as a bride, raven asking him on the previous page to "rise above his lusts and show compassion," the composition of this page with near-nude sexy trigon standing dominantly and imposingly over raven who's on her knees beseeching him, etc... even the way trigon goes for raven's "i'll trade myself for the earth" deal feels very like, villain finally getting their hands on the damsel they've been lusting after? i have never found trigon compelling as a villain in any teen titans adaptation but i REALLY get him here, he's a fucking scary ass abusive father!!!! he's the abuser you can't escape from because he's literally a cosmic force of evil!! that is scary as fuck actually!!!!

and kory tries to stop all of this, like you said knowing she would probably fail and die in the process, because there was a CHANCE she might be able to help raven. and this part is purely headcanon but like, given that kory's own family traded her into slavery, i can see kory wanting raven to KNOW someone fought for her? like. even if kory fails at least raven knows someone TRIED to save her. i can see that being extremely important to kory. T_T

them as foils for each other is so real... like... the parallels and differences between their extremely specific insane experiences... kory and raven both victimized by their fathers, but for kory her father turned her over to be hurt by someone else and for raven the threat is directly from her father... the way that they can both understand the feeling of your life being leverage for the safety of a world that you love... their powers both being heavily influenced by emotion... both of them as true outsiders on earth... ravenfire is SO real and SO true i love them T_T

[not-so-mundane-after-all]

I’ve seen you post a lot about Titans, and I was wondering if you could give a premise of the plot. I need new found family stuff to watch. 😂

Thanks! 🌻

Okay I'll try my best with the summary hahaha just a few fun facts before I get to it: this was my #1 show for the past 4 years, until tlou rolled around, we are on our last stretch of episodes before saying goodbye (my heart is broken) and a word of warning: if you get into it, you will love it as much as you will hate it. This stupid beloved show of mine can be a real pain in the ass sometimes 😂

Okay, time for a summary. Or, in other words, let me paint you a picture of this found family without giving away any plot 😂

So at the beginning we have these four lovely people who all find each other just when they need it the most when their lives are at their lowest. They are DC superheroes (some on their way to becoming them) but the most important thing the show had always put focus on (more or less sometimes but we lived through it) is that team is family. The team grows over time and they learn how to be a team and fight evil together and all that but these four are the core of it.

So, on the left you have the kids: Gar Logan and Rachel Roth. If you're familiar with DC Comics in any capacity, you might know them as Beast Boy and Raven. Gar can shift into animals and Rachel is a daughter of a demon. Fun times with these two!

Then we have the parents: Dick Grayson and Kory Anders. Known as Robin, then Nightwing and Starfire.

Dick is a master detective with some sick martial art skills (trained by Batman himself) and Kory is an alien powerhouse Queen!

Leaders of the team. Heads of the family. Father and Mother who will do absolutely everything to protect their children.

They also have an epic love story going on, just so you know. Season 4 is really taking them places.

Now, when I started this show, I came here for some superhero fun. But I stayed because the pilot episode served me one of the best father-daughter duos I have ever seen. Think of Joel and Ellie's "if you're lost in the darkness, search for the light" but here it's almost LITERAL sometimes. Dick has metaphorical darkness in him and Rachel is the one who brings out the light for the first time. But Rachel has the literal darkness in her and Dick is the first person in her life who isn't afraid of it and helps her accept it as a part of her.

She has a dream about him before they even meet and when they do, she immediately knows. And he's scared shitless of this new attachment, he's dark, violent, has issues and he can't do family but here is this orphaned girl who knows things about him that she shouldn't and hell if his heart isn't beating a little faster.

This scene here, it has a grip on my throat since 2019 and isn't planning to let go. This is where it all begins.

As for the plot, each season is a different thing. Season 1 is protecting Rachel from her father, season 2 is trying to settle down as a team but ghosts of the past are making it difficult, season 3 is about sibling rivalry and how that can fuck up a family and a bit of generational trauma, and season 4 is all over the place with a giant prophecy, some big and small returns, magic and shit, but season 4 is when the family is finally the strongest!

I hope you enjoy it! You can find it on HBO MAX in the US and on Netflix everywhere else (though international Netflix is one season behind). If you get to watching it, I'd love to here your thoughts!

Come join us in Titansland! Let me welcome you to the Graysonfam!

“The reason why teen titans put ‘I’m a robot’ instead of ‘I’m black’ is because kids would not understand racism!” That’s fucking bullshit! Other kids shows like static shock have shown racist characters and had no issues showing kids that racism is bad. There was nothing stopping TT from doing the same thing! Also, kids of color have to deal with racism all the time in real life and your telling me that kids won’t understand that?

Oh and the excuse that starfire wouldn’t understand racism on earth is also dumb! She literally was the target of racist slurs in the same episode! She’s would had understood!

You said one of your reasons you hc kory as autistic is because she misses a lot social cues , but that’s literally bc she’s experiencing culture shock , since she’s from another galaxy.

At least, that’s how I see it. When I first started watch TT05 , I resonated with starfire for thst very reason. We were both teen girls who were navigating a very strange America ( I moved to NY when I was 13, originally from Argentina)

To clarify: I hc MAR’I is autistic

With Starfire in the TT03 series, I get that she was from another planet. But as a, y’know, 5,6,7 year old kid, all I was seeing was her not understanding social cues and asking questions and having an odd speech pattern.

The same things that, again, at that time, I was doing and was often PUNISHED for doing. I was projecting a lot of my frustrations onto her, but I didnt have the words for that. Mostly because I couldn’t understand why people in her life were so patient with her while I was often yelled at.

Also, fun fact—my autism is a trait from my father, which if I’m not mistaken, is usually the case. And let’s be real Dick Grayson is one of the most AuDHD people in the world

To Gun or not to Gun

Thoughts on the fundamental morality of weapons

this is literally me when im a tool of destruction from france fr fr fr france

[IMAGE SOURCE: Forces News]

In a post-WWII, post-nuclear world, peace has become a much bigger topic in geopolitics.

Before the destruction, caused by the industrialization of warfare in WWII, war was seen as a common and good thing in Western society.

Kingdoms would go to war, have thousands kill each other at max, steal some riches and be done with it. If a monarch wanted war, they could sell it to the public, due to the specter of war not being one of major or even total destruction.

Now, it's different.

We humans have biblical destructive powers at our command.

We have weaponized plagues. (Bioweapons that spread pathogens via animals, aerosol, contact etc.)

We have built fighting automatons. (Drones with bombs)

WE COMMAND A FRACTION OF THE STARFIRE (nuclear weapons utilize nuclear fission and fusion, processes that occur naturally in the universe on a massive scale and are the reason stars exist)

And yet, we haven't shook our desire for conflict. Still, conflict is in our nature as persistent predators.

With such threats of total annihilation, geopolitics has become a lot more complex, with efforts centering around avoiding and limiting conflict.

Peace used to be a concept that was only pondered and acted on on a personal scale, now it is on an international scale (except for russia).

And thus, oh-so-often do you hear discussions about the military-industrial complex and its major role in perpetuating war, by giving people the means to fight them.

But, I believe the discussion about it actually comes from a limited, Western perspective.

First off, the Western superpower (United States of America) and great powers (United Kingdom, France and Germany) are not the only places where weapons are produced on a major, Industrial scale. The sentiment that they are stems from Cold-War-and-beyond anti-Western propaganda, which abuses the Western exceptionalist mindset and intrinsically connects war with capitalism, even though modern capitalism arose in the 1800s, and war is a much older concept than that, and despite all the wars waged by anti-capitalists.

For example, no loyalist to the Chinese Communist Party has a right to call warmongering an exclusively Western or capitalist thing, as, out of the five deadliest wars in world history, three were Chinese civil wars.

Another example is how many militias, paramilitaries, guerillias and other militant non-state actors use Soviet weaponry. The Soviet Union was, after all, the place where you had more tanks than food.

This is something that upsets me in the Western discussion of warmongering:

Once again, viewing the world from a Western exceptionalist perspective, Westerners often somehow disregard the roles of non-state actors in the starting and perpetuating of wars.

People, just because they're not the strongest, doesn't mean they can't desire war, or are incapable of starting and perpetuating wars!

(Most non-state actors are actually proxies of state actors anyway)

This is, for example, also why I advocate for more shooter video games to use mercenaries as the enemy soldiers who the player can mow down at their leisure, as, in real life and modern times, becoming a mercenary is always a choice, and one indicative of nonexistent morality at that.

Since they're non-state actors, you don't hear much about them on Western news or in political discussions, but mercenaries are arguably more of 'War Merchants', people whose business is war, than Western arms companies.

The Western arms companies may be similarly immoral,

but the reality of their selling of weapons to all sides of any conflict they can contact is the same as with any other commodity in an age of international trade:

They sell to whoever wants to buy, and whoever they CAN sell to.

Technically, the international sale of, say, German-produced guns works the same way as that of German-produced cars.

I, for one, haven't heard anyone talk about the Volkswagen-BMW complex.

Many Western countries are also democratic, which means that the economy, and that includes arms companies, often has more of an influence on the government than that the government has an influence on the economy.

In russia or China, the opposite is true:

Guns and bombs are only produced, sold and used when the Dear and Very Democratic Dictator for Life says so.

Ultimately, a weapon may be a tool of destruction, but in and for itself, it is morally neutral.

The phrase "It's the guns that kill people" is only half true.

Being man-made tools of destruction, weapons only kill anything and anyone if they are used as such by a person.

Yes, there can be lethal accidents, but you also get those in environments with entirely peaceful tools. Often more so than with weapons, as peaceful tools are underestimated in their destructive capability.

And this leads to my whole point:

While some tools are, by design, more peaceful than others, they can always be used in a destructive way.

A hammer can be used to build homes, or to break a person's skull.

Nuclear fission can be harnessed to produce a ginormous explosion that kills tens of thousands, or to produce electricity to keep tens of thousands warm and safe.

I think we Westerners have enjoyed peace for such a long time that we have forgotten how inherently dangerous the world is, and how fragile peace is. So, we no longer appreciate it.

This isn't to advocate war, but to see war and weapons with more nuance.

I will leave you with a quote from Mahatma Gandhi:

„I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence… I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honour than that she should, in a cowardly manner, become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor.“

Fist to Fist Heart to Heart

Robin watched as Beast Boy struggled to push himself off the floor, arms shaking as his muscles threatened to give out from his own below-average weight. The final strike had literally knocked the changeling off his feet, just as it had the past dozen times. The leader watched as Beast Boy staggered back to his feet, clumsily trying to regain his fighting stance. Robin really wanted to call a break for the changeling. They’d been at this for forty minutes and Beast Boy had taken quite the beating… But the green teen had made it abundantly clear that he wanted to master hand to hand combat, no matter what. He was determined and Robin could appreciate that. He wasn’t about to give up on his friend. “Come on, Beast Boy! Let’s go again! Put your all into this one!” The changeling swayed on his feet, having trouble getting his head on straight as he gave his most passionate, but weakened, “Yes, sir!”

Robin’s entire body froze at this simple title. It was one thing when Beast Boy called him that in the beginning, just a young teen fresh off the Doom Patrol and finding his way. It was a totally different situation for him to use it now. The last time Beast Boy had called someone sir was when he had been addressing his former leader, Mento. Mento… the man who was willing to sacrifice his team with minimal effort, the man who scolded Beast Boy for rescuing his family and friends, the man who was just all around wretched to the teen. ...Beast Boy was reminded of him during their training? “Are you okay, sir?” the changeling asked as he wobbled, soon shaking his head to get his thoughts in order and correcting himself with, “I mean Robin. Are you okay, Robin?” “Uh, yeah,” the leader replied as he held a hand to his head. “Just feeling a bit… off. Let’s call a break for now.” “You sure?” Beast Boy nearly slapped himself for asking that! He needed a break too, even if he wanted to master this. He was desperate to prove himself capable, not let Robin down, and to have things change for the better in his life for once. “Yeah,” Robin replied, staring ahead blankly. “Let’s just get some rest and refuel.” “...Kay,” the changeling agreed, following Robin to the kitchen. He knew something was wrong. Robin rarely admitted to illness or pain. Either Robin had a serious injury he was hiding or he had just pissed his leader off big time.

A silence hung in the air as the two prepared their drinks and snack; some veggies and hummus with a glass of water for Beast Boy and some jerky with a protein shake for Robin… Perhaps the changeling should look into some protein shakes himself; vegan ones, of course… The thought didn’t stay with him for long as he busied himself with eating. Even with the crunching of carrots and the snap of jerky, it was just too quiet for the green teen. He was ultimately dragged back to his worry for Robin. Something just wasn’t right. “Look, if I disappointed you, I’m sorry. I know I keep flubbing up the combat thing, but I really am trying. Please don’t give up on me. I swear I’ll get it!” “I won’t give up on you,” Robin muttered in mild offense while attempting to look nonplussed. Beast Boy’s ears drooped. “Seriously, what’s wrong?” “Noth-” Robin cut himself off as he thought back on his conversations with Starfire. Ever since they’d become a couple, she’d been encouraging him to be more open with his emotions, to not be so reclusive. The leader took a deep breath and let it out. “It’s nothing big. You just called me sir… like you did with Mento.” The changeling raised a brow, cocking his head as he tried to register what about that had put Robin off just so much. “Don’t take this the wrong way, Beast Boy, but I just don’t think he’s the best leader.” It took a moment for the green teen to think things over. Did Robin think he was a better leader than Mento?… Well, he was. He couldn’t argue that. Still, why was it such a big deal? “Mento was a real jerk to you.” “Oh!” Beast Boy perked up as the gears clicked into place. “Well, kinda, yeah. But don’t worry about that,” the green teen smiled widely. “You are nothing like that. When you push me, it’s because you want me to be the best I can be; not because I have to prove myself worthy of the team or you think I’m not good enough. You’re nothing like Mento, I don’t have to wait for the planets to align to get encouragement from you!” While Beast Boy laughed genuinely, Robin’s smile was less so. The leader was relieved that he wasn’t some sort of repeated trauma for the green teen, but he was still worried about what his friend went through. Though Beast Boy spoke of it so casually, Robin knew the trauma was still there. “Well, good to know I’m a decent leader to you, even if the bar was set pretty low,” he joked.

“You’re not just my leader; you’re my friend,” the changeling beamed. “My bud, my pal, my comrade, mi amigo!” Robin let out a slight chuckle, loosening up a bit. “Yeah, I know we can get on each other’s nerves sometimes, but we’re really not that different, you and I.” “Who are you; Dr. Evil?” Beast Boy cackled. “Seriously though, how are we alike?” Robin’s smile fell as he realized the can of worms he’d just opened with his comment. He really didn’t want to answer, but damn it, he needed to! It’s what Starfire would want and Beast Boy deserved a heart to heart for once. He was always treated as a joke, but he was so much more than that. Robin let out a breath with a “poof” sound. “Can’t think of anything, can ya?” Beast Boy laughed. “I can… It’s just that some of it is kind of… heavy stuff.” “Oh,” the changeling’s ears drooped once more. “How bad is it?” “How about you just stop me if it gets to be too much?” Robin offered. With a nod from Beast Boy, the leader continued. “When we first came together to form the Teen Titans, I still found myself following in Batman’s footsteps. I wanted to separate myself from him, at the time, but his training was going to be with me no matter what. Kind of like how you were still acting like Mento’s soldier when we first met.” Huh. He hadn’t thought of it that way. Curiosity piqued, Beast Boy leaned forward to listen more intently, folding his hands to rest his chin on them. “Well, like Batman, I did my research. I looked up every bit of information I could get on all of you. I wanted to know who I was teaming up with, what I would have to worry about if you ever turned against me…” “We would never-” Beast Boy started before changing his mind. “Well, when you were working for Slade…” “Yeah. I don’t blame you for that. In fact, I’m glad you turned against me. It showed you all would fight for what’s right, not just what I want.” “Nothing like Mento,” the green teen grinned. Robin chuckled slightly. “Anyway, I learned about what made you and Cyborg the heroes you are. I couldn’t find anything on Starfire or Raven because they had no records on Earth, but you…”

Beast Boy frowned, not sure he wanted to hear his past out of Robin’s mouth. He didn’t really want people to know that much about him, but if someone was going to know, he’d be the one to tell the story. “My parents were biologists,” the changeling started. “I got sick with the Sakutia Virus and the only way my parents were able to cure me was with some science-y mix of animal stuff that turned me green and let me shape shift.” Robin nodded as Beast Boy spoke. He knew this already. But it was really his friend’s story to tell, rather than learning through the research he’d done. There was a flood… and a waterfall… I couldn’t save them. It’s all my fault! I had my powers! I should have-” the changeling put his head in his hands. “Hey,” Robin reached out, putting a hand on his friend’s shoulder. “You were young. You couldn’t have done anything. It wasn’t your fault. You couldn’t control a natural disaster.” Beast Boy lifted his head. “But I had my super powers. I should have been able to-” “Believe me; I know what it’s like. My parents and I were acrobats. I knew someone had sabotaged the equipment, but I couldn’t stop my parents before they did their trapeze act and fell to the ground below.” Beast Boy looked at Robin with tired eyes and gave him a quiet, “I’m sorry.” “I am too,” Robin removed his hand from the changeling’s shoulder. “Neither of us could have done anything, but we still blame ourselves. It’s hard. We try no to think about it, but we don’t want to forget them either…” “Yeah,” Beast Boy sighed. “I guess we do have stuff in common.” “Not to mention we were both taken in by super rich superheroes,” Robin added. “Did you have trouble finding your way around the manor at first too?” Beast Boy smiled a bit. “You mean like trying to find the bathroom in the middle of the night?” the leader smirked. “Ha! Yeah! Talk about a nightmare… Someone help me! I have to pee and I don’t know where I am!” The two erupted into laughter. “Riddler’s labyrinth had nothing on Wayne Manor!” “Maybe Dayton Manor was built on an ancient sacred corn maze!” The two laughed louder this time, finding each other genuinely funny.

“Man, I’m on a roll today!” Beast Boy beamed. “Yeah! Now let’s keep that rolling into training!” Robin encouraged. The changeling nodded, feeling more confident with this interaction. --- “Okay, remember what I taught you,” Robin instructed, fighting stance engaged as he eyed Beast Boy from across the training grounds. Beast Boy gave a determined nod. “Brace for impact, but don’t tense up, let the momentum carry me forward…” “Aren’t you forgetting something?” The changeling raised a brow. “Telling yourself you got this!” Robin grinned. “I got this!” Beast Boy beamed. “Go!” Robin shouted, the two sprinting towards each other to begin the sequence again. Robin began by dropping down for a sliding kick to Beast Boy’s legs, only for the changeling to leap well above him to dodge. Quick to his feet, the leader threw a punch, only for the other to whirl around and catch his fist in his hand. Another fist, another catch. With both Robin’s fists in Beast Boy’s hands, the changeling reared his head back and swung it forward in a powerful headbutt, stopping just before making contact to avoid any brain injuries during training. Even so, Robin recoiled with a hand to his hand, playing the role of a dazed opponent. Beast Boy used the opportunity to shove Robin, who started to fall backwards, but turned the action into several backwards flips and put a good distance between them. This was it… Robin smirked and launched forward, leaping at Beast Boy with his leg outstretched, The changeling took him on in one swift motion, catching his leg and spinning with his momentum, sending the leader flying as he let go. “Yes!” Beast Boy cheered as his leader flipped in the air, landing on his feet. “I did it!” “You did!” Robin confirmed, giving him a light round of applause. Things were silent a moment as the two caught their breath. “So… you wanna go again?” Robin smirked. “You know it!” Beast Boy grinned, taking a fighting stance once more.

Roy Harper when his Future child comes to the Present

Dick Grayson Ver. | Jason Todd Ver. | Tim Drake Ver. | Damian Wayne Ver.  | Bruce Wayne Ver.

Conner Kent Ver. | Wally West Ver.| Artemis Crock Ver.

A/N: And by very very VERY popular demand, I give you Roy Harper! I really really REALLY loved the storyline for this one so I really hope you enjoy it!

You and Roy were introduced through Jason

You were with Jason and Starfire when you went to rescue Roy from Qurac

And together, the four of you formed the Outlaws

Your and Roy's relationship had been through thick and thin

You went from Jason's mutual friends

To plain acquaintances

To friends but you weren't close enough to nag or judge him for his terrible life decisions

To friends but you could nag him, but you still had boundaries

To friends who could literally be considered as married

Like legit those weird friends that could go to the bathroom while the other one would be showering

The type of friends that would cuddle with each other

Or sleep in the same bed because they feel lonely

Or hold each other because they just needed to be held

Or kiss and make out and have sex

Those kinds of friends

But even though your friendship was built over a volcano that could erupt any second

You still had a strong foundation

And you had been through a lot of shit together

Even though Jason was the one that introduced the both of you

You ended up being closer to Roy than Jason ever dreamed of getting with you

So much so that Jason calls him your Royfriend

haha play on words

Remember how I said your relationship was a volcano just waiting to explode and kill several neighbouring towns?

Well, that explosion came in the form of Jade Nguyen

Or Cheshire

Or the mother of Roy's child

What the fuck?

So, while you were seeking comfort and intimacy and security in Roy

He had been doing the same with Jade

And they had a daughter together

Even though you both weren't official

It broke your heart, and you were devastated

You couldn't bear to watch Roy with his daughter after Jade left her to him

It was too painful to think that you didn't mean as much to him as he did to you

So, you told Jason that you were quitting

And one night you took off

Without telling Roy anything

When he found out, he'll admit he was a little blindsided

But he couldn't blame you

He had known he was the bad guy in this situation

Because he knew about your feelings toward him

And to be honest, he might have felt the same way

But he was afraid to fall for someone

The intensity of his feelings scared him

Everything in his life always went so wrong

And things with you were so good the way they were

Sleeping with Jade was something he didn't expect

It was stupid and it was a mistake

And he did regret it happening at all

But regardless, he had a daughter

And he chose to love her dearly, to raise her well and healthy

Unlike the way he grew up

He wanted to find you and apologize

To get on his knees and beg for forgiveness

But he knew that you deserved better than that

I mean, really

What was he expecting?

That he'd find you and ask to raise someone else's child along with him?

The same person who he slept with despite having feelings for you?

You deserved way better than that

And that's what you believed too while you tried to forget what Roy's kisses felt like

How safe and loved you felt in his arms

How if you forgot the world for a second, you actually felt happy with him

But it was all fake, it wasn't real

Because you were the only one who felt that way

You were either a burden to him, or he was using you

And you didn't want to spend one more moment lamenting over him

And that's exactly what you plan to do

Until one day someone appears at your apartment

"Hi, can I help you?"

"Hey, mom."

"Um, wrong number."

You replied immediately before you slammed the door in her face

The knocking on the door and the ringing of the bell persisted until you opened the door again

"Okay that was a stupid opening, alright. I mean it was super sentimental and wholesome from my side. But it might have been super confusing and weird on your end."

"I'm this close to closing the door again."

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Lian Harper."

You outright laughed at her standing so confidently in front of you, pretending to be your friend's daughter like she didn't know Lian was still an infant

"Yeah, because you're definitely an infant who can't stand let alone get across the country."

"I'm Lian Harper. From 12 years in the future." She said, fishing for something in her pocket and for a second you thought it was a gun before she revealed a ring

You stopped in your tracks

That ring...

It was a family heirloom that you inherited

You glared at her, snatching the ring from her hands

"Stay. Right. Here!"

You went to check where you had hidden the ring

And there it was right where you had left it

Identical to the scratches that were left on the surface from when you used to wear it out in the field

Which meant that she was really from the future

Or had amazing forgery skills

When you opened the door again, she was smiling expectantly at you

"I don't know what the hell you want from me, but I suggest you get lost before I make you regret it."

She frowned, "Trust issues much, mom? How much proof do you want from me?"

You leaned against the doorframe, crossing your arms, "Considering you call me mom makes me suspect that you have no idea what character you're supposed to be playing."

"Or maybe I call you mom because you raised me?"

You raised a brow at her, "What the hell are you saying?"

"Look, I don't know what's going on either. I was in a fight with one of the lanterns and I woke up 12 years in the past and I remember one of your safehouses were here, so I came here to camp out until I found something but instead found you."

She was sticking to her story very vehemently, and you were compelled to believe her

You spend the night talking, trying to wrap your head around all of this

"So, I get married to your father and raise you along with Roy, is that right?"

"Yeah."

"What about your mother?"

"Who cares about her?"

This really shouldn't have surprised you

Considering you've seen A LOT of bad parental relationships

It would have been more surprising if she said that she was in a fully functioning and healthy relationship with her mother

But still, you felt sorry for her

And to be honest, the fact that you would inevitably be put in the middle of their family issues made you uncomfortable

You didn't want to be the reason their family didn't work out

Jade, Roy and Lian deserved a chance to have a happy family

Lian was stubborn though

She kept insisting that she didn't need Jade

But she was also young

You remember thinking the same at that age

But sorting out their relationship would probably benefit her in the long run

For some reason, you felt compelled to reunite her with her mother

Or set their relationship straight from the start

So right before she falls asleep in your bed

You tell her that you both are heading for Roy's place tomorrow to sort this out and try and find out how to send her home

Before going to sleep on the couch

To say Roy was surprised when you come knocking on the door with a girl that looks like a younger Jade is an understatement

He didn't believe Lian at first

But after listening to both you and her, he conceded

The three of you were standing in his living room when you heard a cry from the baby chair where little Lian was sitting

Lian grinned brightly at her younger self

"Man, I was so cute! Enjoy this time younger me, it gets real shitty when you grow up."

"Language." Roy chastised without skipping a beat and you hid a smile at it

He was such a dad

You'll admit you had doubts

But he was really pulling himself together for the sake of his daughter

Together, the three of you try to decide how to go about getting Lian back to her own time

She tells Roy all about her life in the future

And honestly just hearing her makes him feel so happy

This whole thing caught him off guard and he was never sure if he ever even wanted to be a father

He was going through his own shit before Lian came

And he was just grasping at straws when it came to this whole father thing

But she didn't seem like she hated him

She was healthy and happy

And Roy's heart had never felt so light before

All the things that were bothering him

Like whether he'd be a good father

Or whether you'd ever forgive him and come back to him

Those things seemed to go well

And he couldn't be more grateful for it

After a while though

When Lian is preoccupied with something

You pull Roy out into the hallway

To try and convince him to somehow bring Jade back into Lian's life

And how the three of them deserved to be a family

You were honestly just trying to do what you thought was best for Lian and Roy and even Jade

You didn't want to make them uncomfortable and try and fit you in their family

After all they've been through, Roy at least deserved a good family

All you wanted was their happiness

Even if it meant at your expense

But all Roy heard was that you didn't want to be part of this family

You didn't want to be put into this uncomfortable situation

You didn't want to raise Lian along with him

You didn't want to be in a relationship with him

And why should he blame you?

He shouldn't hold it against you if you wanted to be with someone who made less mistakes than him

Who was more open than him

Who was gentler and kinder and better than him

You deserved that

"I'll try and convince Jade to stay so we can be a family."

Even though both your hearts were breaking in your chest

Little did you know a third heart was cracking right as they heard you say it

The door slammed open and there stood Lian with the most betrayed expression she could muster

Her eyes were filled with tears

"I don't want Jade to come back! She chose to leave us! This was her choice!"

"Lian, I know how you feel now but if we get Jade back then we can nip this at the bud, you three can be a family."

"I already have a family! A happy one, with you and dad! I don't want her back in my life! I don't want her to ruin the family that I have!"

"Lian....she's your mother." You tried to convince

"Why are you so fixated on that?!! Yes, she is my mother, but you were the woman I ran to whenever I needed mom!"

Your eyes clouded with tears

This whole time you thought that you shouldn't be in between them

That they deserved to be a family without you

That you were just someone that Roy and Lian would settle for in Jade's absence

But she was here, and she was telling you that she just wanted you

She had a chance to choose Jade instead

But she still wanted you

And you had a place in this family

You weren't just kidding yourself

You actually had a place that mattered and a family that loved you

"Mom, please don't leave me." She whimpered out, wiping her tears and you were crying before you knew it

You hugged her so tightly and that harsh clenching of your chest ceased

It finally felt like everything would be okay

"I won't. I won't leave you. It's okay, mommy's here." You whispered into her hair, holding onto her as tightly as you could

Roy joined into the hug when you grabbed his arm

And the three of you together in the hallway hugged each other tightly

Like it was real

Like you were a family

Eventually, Lian cried so much that she tired herself out

And Roy carried her back to bed

When he came back out, you were tending to baby Lian who was just about to fall asleep as well

And Roy just took a moment to gaze at you

With his daughter in your arms as you rocked her to sleep

And he just knew that this is what he had ever wanted

Not Jade

Just you

Eventually, she fell asleep soundly, blubbering into your shirt and you chuckled at the sight of her

It was weird, you never thought you would be able to replace Jade

And maybe you wouldn't

But you had a place with them, and you were a part of this family

"I'm so sorry, (Y/N)." Roy whispered to you, trying to keep quiet for the sake of his sleeping child

You gave him a small smile

You weren't exactly sure how you felt about this situation and about him

But you knew this was where you both wanted to be

And you were going to try hard to work this out

So, you didn't say anything and just cupped his cheek before leaning in to place a soft kiss to his lips

Lian fussed in your arms from the movement, and you pulled away to make sure she fell back into her slumber

Just as you placed her back into the crib, you reached into your pocket and handed Roy something

He gazed at the ring in his palm with a brow raised

"It was a family heirloom. I guess, it belongs to our family now." You muttered, blushing furiously when you saw the smile on his face.

"Apparently you propose with this ring so I'm just going to tell you to hold onto it."

Roy gave you a look that was halfway between a smirk and a smile

"(Y/N) (L/N), are you proposing to me right now."

You mirrored the smile, "Roy Harper, I'm asking you to make me (Y/N) Harper."

He grinned brightly at you, leaning in to kiss you passionately

You heard a noise at the door

When you pulled away, Lian was standing at the door, smiling widely

"That was so romantic you guys! I can't believe I was actually here to witness the proposal!"

You scoffed before pointing at the snoozing babe in the corner of the room, "You are here."

Lian scoffed right back, and Roy chuckled, noticing the resemblance between the both of you

"She's so useless. Sleeping at a time like this."

"Hey, that's my daughter you're talking about."

If you noticed the giant smile on Roy's face after hearing that, you didn't say anything

You definitely noticed

[linkspooky]

Got any fac superhero comic villain that isn’t Batman villains?

I mean… let’s be real here tho, most interesting and well written villains do mostly be from Batman.

But I am curious if you have any fav villains out side from Batman’s?

Okay, so the reason I primarily talk about batman and Teen Titans is they're primarily what I've read. I actually like villains from other rogue's galleries, flashes is good, superman's is good, but the thing is... I've read every Teen Titans comic ever so here we go.

3. Deathstroke.

One time I heard someone refer to deathstroke as the "Anti-Teen Dad" and no phrase has better captured his character. Deathstroke doesn't work as a batman villain, he doesn't work as an arrow villain, he is at his best as a Teen Titans villain because Deathstroke is someone actively harmful to children.

He represents the uncaring and horrible adults in the world these teenage heroes face as they are growing up, there's a reason Deathstroke's biggest arc is basically grooming and destroying any chance Terra had to be a good person (and other gross stuff but it's triggering I don't want to talk about it), there's a reason Slade's backstory by Wolfram is that he basically destroyed his family's lives, let one son die, let the other son's throat get slit, abandoned the third. He is the ANTI-TEEN DAD!

Christopher Priest who wrote the character's rebirth run put Slade's character into words better than I ever could.

I often had to fight City Hall and repeat, ad nauseum, that Deathstroke is a villain. In the first issue, Slade kills a bear in order to save his son. Then he goes back and kills the bear’s cubs because, to his thinking, it would be cruel to leave them without a mother. That is Deathstroke. But I had to fight to get that in because of concerns over the character’s likeability. This was the unfun part about writing this character, a guy who should have an even sharper edge than Wolverine. Please write this down someplace for future reference: Deathstroke is an ass.

I wrote this in my Joker analysis too, there's nothing good or redeemable about Joker, but he still has an extremely important role in the story because he represents the death that Batman is fighting against in the world, so for Dick Grayson who is trying to grow up and help all of his friends grow too, he's the perfect counter and opposite someone who not only destroys his kid's lives but targets other children too. "Please write this down someplace for future reference: Deathstroke is an ass." Any attempts to make Deathstroke more honorable and more honorable just kind of fall flat, his name is DEATHSTROKE, he represents the force of uncaring death and danger in the world that's utterly hostile to teens and these kids have to deal with.

2. Blackfire.

I talk about Blackfire's character more in depth here, but her character works best if you consider her the "Red Hood" to Starfire's "Nightwing." Her character itself starts out as just kind of an evil sister who is one dimmensionally obsessed with killing and hated Starfire and was jealous all her life. The wicked sister to Starfire's Cinderella. However, she gets a lot more depth over the story.

I don't want to undermine how much Blackfire did in fact commit sibling abuse on Starfire, but there's a really good "Generational Abuse" storyline in both Starfire and Blackfire. I think a lot of people want to talk about the cycle of abuse in storylines but don't want to really read stories where characters who are abuse victims end up perpetuating abuse which like... how do you guys think the cycle of abuse happens then? Anyway, Blackfire's extremely messy especially since there's really bad shit she does in her early writing when she's more one dimmensional.

HOWEVER! Literally everyone complains about "I hate how in every marvel movie, the villain is just evil version of the main character" Blackfire subverts that whole trope in fantastic and brilliant ways. The story allows Blackfire to be right, and have a point of view outside of Starfire's that's equally as valid. Blackfire has an entirely different take on her childhood because she was neglected horribly by her parents. She says the true source of the abuse in their family was her parents and she's right. She advocates for stronger leadership in Tamaran because her parents are wishy washy and can't defend their own parents and she's right there again. In later versions of her character, Blackfire's bloodthirstiness and warlike personality didn't come out of nowhere, it's a survival mechanism that evolved out of necessity to survive and she's not conquering the planet for her vanity or ego she genuinely thinks she'll be a better leader. Honestly, a more three diemmnsional Blackfire is just more interesting because evil big sisters are just boring.

1. Terra.

Have I ever told you I love Judas Contract? I love Judas Contract. Of course there's a little bit of weird writing in Terra's character, where she's clearly a grooming victim, and also an abuse victim by her parents and a teenage runaway who's genuinely had a hard life and the writers go (no, just ignore all of that she was just born a sociopath, we aren't shaped by our traumatic experiences at all don't be silly).

However, SUBTEXT is a thing, even if the intention was to just write Terra as a flat sociopath the subtext is there that she is a really complex victim. Terra's entire character revolves around the fact she is a victim, but she's not an innoecnt person either. Her being groomed by Slade doesn't absolve her of all responsibility for her actions.

TERRA IS THE ULTIMATE BAD VICTIM IN COMICS, her entire character revolves around the fact that she was abused, and was not a perfect selfless angel about it, she didn't feel like helping other people, she hated the heroes around her because of how good and selfless they are when she wasn't, and yet she's still sympathetic. IT's a tragedy that she died, because human beings especially children no matter how amoral they may be or what their actions were don't really deserve to suffer to the extent Terra has. Terra's entire character revolves around the fact she self destructs. I believe there could be an arc where Terra was saved, or at least given a chance to be her own person outside of SLade, but the whole part of the Judas Contract is that the Titans as well meaning as they were just COULDN'T get to Terra in time b/c she didn't fit into their neat little boxes of what victims should look like. I don't think Terra is a bad person so much as, she never really got the chance to be her own person outside of the horrible tragedy that rocked her life because she died too soon. That's another thing, it's ALWAYS tragic when a child dies, especially since you can generally still reach those children at that age and when you cut off their future like that you cut off any chance they had to grow up. Like there's a lot of TERRA BROUGHT IT ON HERSELF, SHE DIDN'T WANT TO GET BETTER, like chill out dude she's sixteen. Anyway, Terra is my favorite comic book character of all time she's a bitch and I love her.
