(Starfire comic spoilers)

Okay, listen..... I do not actually think they're going here, but I'm just saying.... if I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about Teen Titans and the canon couples ™️.....

So they make a big point at the start of this issue out of Kori never having found a guy she wants to date yet:

Then she and Vic have an actual meet cute:

Go on several dates hangouts:

They share secrets, he comes to rescue her multiple times

I know she meets Dick and they get starry eyed over each other in this very issue, but c'mon. They can't do this to my secret Cystar heart.

Terrahawks: From Zelda With Love! - A Gerry Anderson A21 News Story

The man in black barely made a sound as he crept between the shadows of the alleyways in Bereznik’s Old Quarter. Agent Nine was one of the most special agents in the World Intelligence Network and the mission on which he was engaged was one of supreme importance. Not for the first time that night, he reminded himself that the fate of the world could well depend on the success of his rendezvous…

all of Leonid's character moments when he was reintroduced is establishing how much he cares for Vic (because Vic can't exactly express that himself. on account of being... dead)

as I've said before his arc starts with him taking cyborg back to russia in hopes of getting him back

and after the jig is up

it's about keeping Vic and Sarah safe. that's where the image used for their friendship comes from. bashing meta-men into pieces to save his friend.

because this comic is bad Vic only gets to speak again at the end of his penultimate issue

and the only dialogue he shares with Leonid is purely related to saving their lives

hello! can i ask what your opinion on robrae is? i was 6 years old when TT03 came out & was immediately hooked. it was my favorite show & still is. i rewatch it a few times a year & didn't ship them growing up (i was all about robstar & bbrae).

but as i grew up & got onto tumblr to see varied ships talked about (cyjinx, robrae, cystar, etc), i began to notice the level of understanding between them.

i've noticed a lot of animosity toward the robrae ship specifically in the TT03 fandom & i totally understand why a lot of people see the relationship as purely platonic with more of a brotherly/sisterly type bond. i still ship robstar & bbrae, don't get me wrong! but something about how robin & raven connect on a deeper level & trust one another enough to deadass go into each other's MINDS just makes my heart do funny things. especially raven. & the way robin holds her after she collapses at the beginning of the end part 1?! oh my god. i fall to pieces every time 😭

sooo.. sorry for rambling. they're really special to me & i have nobody else to talk to about it haha. if you don't like them together i totally understand! i want your 100% honest opinion.

hi!!!! u absolutely can! and don’t be sorry for rambling because that’s my favorite thing ever

(also i was 7 & got hooked when i first saw it when it reran in 2012 so we’re basically twinning 😍 (minus the ~10 year difference))

i talked a bit about how i feel about Robrae in my other post about Robstar, but to be fair it was 1. long and 2. written at 3am so it probably wasn’t a very good explanation. but i will still include it here:

it’s true that they grow to be very close with each other, and as the show goes on, they’re shown to care for each other a lot— but it’s not the kind of love that robin and star have. i think my biggest point towards them being siblings is in The End, when robin goes to basically-hell to save raven. when he finds her, she’s physically and mentally younger, and doesn’t even recognize him at first. robin does approach her as her friend, but also treats her as one would with a real child. even when she remembers him, he doesn’t change his behavior with her. i really do think he sees her as his younger sister.

i know that normally they are very close in age, and have similar levels of maturity. but lemme tell u something. i have a younger brother, and we’re very similar to each other. i mean ok his interests r a bit different (he was on a wrestling team during hs while i sat on my computer and studied the tt wiki (which is amazing u should go look at it if u haven’t)). but other than the parts that make us unique (and the fact we aren’t related to each other at all), i often find myself forgetting that he’s younger than me. until we’re sitting in the backseat of our older brother’s car after a long day of walking, and he starts to fall asleep. and he falls to my side. and suddenly my brain starts running a mile a minute, as i realize that because we’re so close he isn’t afraid to sleep beside me. and ok yes this absolutely the brainrot talking but i believe this is how robin was feeling when raven trusted him to save her, to defeat her father— to protect her. of course robin is better trained and therefore didn’t freeze up like i did but whatever!

anyway. i do see them as a sibling relationship BUT i understand your view of them. and i remember that sometimes in the 03 comics, there’d be moments that definitely shipped Robrae. so this is not something to be ashamed of! these are fictional characters with fictional relationships, and therefore we (as the fans) are free to view their stories however we want.

tbh, i the main reason that i will never ship robrae isn’t because im a “diehard Robstar shipper”, but instead because im gay and aromantic, and that puts a wrench in understanding romantic relationships— especially mlw ones. i find myself unable to relate to robrae. the only reason i ship robstar at all is because i know that they’re a great couple, and i remember when i related more to starfire and definitely shipped them as a kid. but now i relate most to robin, and so it’s hard to ship things like robrae. or even robstar, because i find myself unable to tell the difference between liking & caring for someone a lot as a friendship vs liking & caring for someone a lot as a romantic relationship.

i’ve made some posts now about how i see Cyborg & Robin as brothers and best friends… which is true, but sometimes i view them as a romantic pair (Cyrob). i think it’s because i like men that shipping these two together is something i like, versus shipping robrae. of course, my aromanticism still makes it hard to decide once and for all if i see them as friends or as potential partners. shipping is hard :(

anyway. all of this was to say that i understand why you ship Robrae and why i personally don’t. i’m happy that you asked very nicely because as we’re both aware, people have been having robstar/robrae shipping wars since the dawn of time (2003) and are often mean so thank u for being nice and i hope i was too!!!

bonus thing i think is funny:

starfire/cyborg - drops of jupiter

[ladydonguri]

When your toys are in trouble you know who to call!

Kindergarten Titans !!!

[caitviz]

“you holding up okay, princess?”

wholesome moment between them that makes me very happy

[incorrectcartoonquotes]

Starfire: we shall go by codenames. You can address me as “Eagle One”

Starfire: Robin. Codename, “been there done that”

Starfire: Cyborg is “currently doing that”

Starfire: Beast Boy is “it happened once in a dream”

Starfire: Raven. Code name, “if I had to pick a female“

Starfire: Blackfire is “eagle 2”

Blackfire, relieved: oh thank god

[teen-titans-confession-box]

I don’t get why people consider “How Long is Forever?” a Robin/Starfire episode, when it shows that Nightwing was the only Titan who was able to overcome Starfire’s disappearance and live a not-completely-horrible life without her. If anything, I think it points towards shipping Starfire with Beast Boy/Cyborg/Raven instead.
