I desperately need non teen titans fans to know that we didn't come up with fab five. The Fabulous Foursome is what Dick, Donna, Wally, and Garth were called by the narrator when the team got properly started in The Brave and the Bold and Showcase. Roy was the fan pick to join the team through voting and thus the title "fab five" was born.

They're not just fabulous to the fans, they're fabulous canonically.

I'm thinking a lot about the Olympian!Dick Grayson stuff floating around.

What if during their rebellious late teens/early 20s Dick and Roy just dared each other to go to the Olympics. And so they show up out of nowhere and qualify at the last minute for their respective sports (gymnastics/ archery) without anyone really knowing them.

So they go to the Olympics and it becomes a story, because what are the odds that TWO different orphans-turned-billionaire-heirs are competing. They get hounded by accusations of having bought their way in, and they both use it as an opportunity to rave about their pre-wealth lives and their tight-knit communities that taught them their sports while (not so) subtly landing digs at the media/government for all the harm they've done to their communities.

All the while the two of them post a ton of videos and pics together so it becomes a Thing, because even without the rest of the story the idea of childhood friends (and maybe more 👀) both making it is enough to drive the internet crazy.

It only gets more insane when they both win multiple gold medals. For once, no one can claim they bought their way in as they annihilate the competition.

But then they disappear from their sports again and people speculate, desperate to find out if they have any intention of returning. For years no one gets a straight answer out of either of them.

Then, just as qualifying begins for the next Olympics, they suddenly show up again.

And Dick Grayson qualifies in archery and Roy Harper makes the USMG team as a specialist.

The art on this issue is great, but the story...not as much. Aliens, biblical references in character names, the titans acting as superspys, all of it feels like i'm reading Nick Fury or The Fantastic Four, not the Teen Titans. It's not that exciting for me. (Teen Titans #20):

Minor lore notes:

Mal was briefly Private Hive before Karen rescued him

Garth can mask his Atlantean skin via natural social camouflage but hasn't yet developed as a magic user

Donna was raised as Diana's adopted sister but is acutally her biological daughter with [redacted]

Roy's got a prosthetic arm as a teenage bc the original Prometheus attacks happened during his childhood, perpetrated by Charles Odysseus Wilson, Slade's father

Wally's basically the same except for being relatively close in age to Barry (Iris is back to being his adopted aunt)

No notes on Karen bc she's perfect already.

I love these panels because it makes it seem like dick is agreeing with Donna that roy is cute

Wally also said he wanted to team up with Roy again, but dick only responds to Donna's comment. Explanation? Hes big gay.

Speech Bubble pointed towards Dick/Robin: "... And I hope we can make the same anti-creep scene again soon!" Signed, Speedy!

Panel 2: Dick Grayson dressed as Robin sits behind a desk, Wally West dressed as Kid Flash, Donna Troy dressed as Wonder Girl, and Garth dressed as Aqualad sit in round white chairs.

Speech Bubble pointed towards Wally/Kid Flash: Hey, the old Boy Bowman himself! It was really a gas -- working with him!

Speech Bubble pointed towards Donna/Wonder Girl: He's cute -- Cuter than any of you characters!

Panel 3: A close up of Dick Grayson/Robin's face.

Speech Bubble pointed towards Dick Grayson/Robin: You can bet your magic lasso, W.G., that we will hook up with Speedy again -- and maybe some other teen crime busters, too! Say... here's a letter from my friend Dr. Paul Turner, of Lacklock Camp!

What do you think about the fab five polycule

(Dick x donna x wally x garth x roy)

i'll be SO honest i wish i had like. insightful interesting opinions on them but i've always been a Young Justice kid and sort of. breezed past consuming Fab Five Teen Titans content-

but of what i *do* know, from the few comics i've read with these characters is this is one of the best ships for Dick, honestly. it always deeply annoys me when fanon content breezes past the Titans as if they're just some distant teammates and not some of Dick's closest friends, if not a second family. *especially* the Fab Five. for most, if not all of them, it's the first time getting to actually connect with other teen heroes. so there's something fun about how sort of terrible they are at it, at first. they all care about each other a lot. but they're kind of chucked into the deep figuring out how to work with each other and get along with *very* different personalities, so it's fun to see where the conflict comes.

as a ship, i do really love it. the Titans are a family. like we call a lot of teams found families, but for the Fab Five, that shit is the truest. they depend on each other and trust each other. when Dick and Bruce are on outs and Bruce fires him, he goes to the Titans.

i also enjoy how, to an extent, all of them are outsiders of some kind. Donna is alone in a new world she's never experienced, the same as Garth. Roy is still new and awkward to living the rich life with Oliver. Wally doesn't connect to his parents well. and of course, Dick has lost his parents and only has Bruce, who isn't the most emotionally available. of course they're going to cling to each other, as the first people they can really develop connections too. they're very clingy with each other and i think that's both cute and *fun* to explore like, codependency issues with them. how protective they can be of each other, how they default to trusting each other over their mentors, etc. it's all very interesting for a polycule, especially since for most of them, it's their first real relationship. i'm a big fan of "none of us know what dating looks like bc we've had such strange childhoods so we don't understand the Rules very well. we're all just going to date each other bc why would i date only one of you. do teamups count as dates now." vibes with teenage polycules. and the Fab Five just. have that on lock. they each fulfill a different "niche" in the group. Garth is the softer, more emotional one you can go to if you're upset. Donna is the one for planning bright fun trips and making sure you don't wallow. Roy is protective and can pretend to be suave, but he shows affection through gift giving and grand gestures where words fail him. Wally can cheer any of them up with jokes and distractions. and of course Dick is the logical one who makes sure they all keep their heads on and don't drown in the responsibility.

overall i think it's a really cute ship and i do wish i just. knew more about them to be able to write them/read fic of it because i do love their dynamic. and i'm just a firm believer in the Titans being Dick's family, just as important to him as the Batfam. they're a disaster and for that you gotta love them.

Mae Kent/Kon-El (vaguely canon. adventures 502 & action 689 primarily- full timeline linked)

Mae Kent/Linda Danvers (homoerotic fusion. guardian angel x doomed human. mae and her gf and her gf’s toxic demon bf. supergirl 1996, supergirl: wings)
