The Titans are almost back, bitches. aka 3x06

Guys, literally every time the titans are together-or even paired up-the episode gets ten times better, but in 6 episodes there is simply not enough Kory and Gar. I can easily forget that when I’m basking in the episode they are in, especially when they’re giving us family dynamics.

Kory:

“You’re not mad that I left. You’re mad I came back.” Kory’s face tells us Blackfire is right on the money, and who would know her better than her sister?

So, Kory, oh boy. Our girl is on edge. She is slowly unraveling and is super vulnerable and raw with Kom around and little sister is going to exploit it and her guilt, which I think she’s carrying a lot of. So far their dynamic has been fascinating because there’s so much to read between them and so many accusations being flung back and forth, from both. From Kory; you sense guilt and even contempt and from Kom there’s envy and resentment, but also there’s a sense of idealization for her older sister, too, which of course, with younger siblings, there always is an element of that. And as an older sibling, there is always an unspoken and sometimes spoken responsibility placed on them for their younger siblings. Parents often don’t realize it, but they can create a lot of tension within siblingships by assigning roles.

They remember home and family very differently, which is often the case, too. Kom was often thrown in the pit and to that, Kory attributes her sister’s constant rebellion as the reason, and yet, Kory herself was a bit of a rule breaker, sleeping with her guard, Fiddei.

Kory was being suffocated by the laws and customs of her home planet; one could say she rebelled by going on a mission, to escape her duties. Home did neither of them any favors because while one rebelled because she did not fit in, the one who did fit in was dying inside, surrounded by little robots and becoming one herself. Being told what to eat, wear and who to love or be friends with is yikes.

I was thinking Kom began her game of manipulation in the bunker, but she really started before that when she sent Fiddei to bring Kory home when she probably intended to kill him all along. After all she would’ve castrated him if she’d had the chance to for sleeping with Kory in the first place. Shortly after Fiddei’s death, Kory flamed out. No powers. Emotionally wrung out from the news her family was dead and now the culprit is here. These two know each other very well and know exactly how to get underneath each other’s skin. Right now Kom is getting underneath Kory’s and our girl is losing patience fast.

I’m wondering when exactly Dick will tune into Kory’s anxiety-ridden state and step in to support.

Ultimately, I just want to see what truly happened to the girls on their planet and how we have the versions we have now. Like, Kory said to Rachel, “No one is born good or bad, we are defined by our choices.” I get the feeling Kory has given Kom so many chances to make a different choice and has become disillusioned, meanwhile Kom believes nothing she does will give her the respect she feels she deserves anyway, so she may as well blow shit up, figuratively and literally. At least then she’ll have Kory’s attention.

Gar:

Gar losing it on Dick was so cathartic and yet he could’ve gone much further, considering Dick abandoned him last season to go jail and hallucinate Bruce. It ultimately led to Gar (and Conner) being kidnapped and experimented on by Mercy. It’s actually all the adults fault this happened, but as the leader promoting his family everywhere he goes, he needs to keep his eye on the ball. He would know if he spent five minutes at home with them that Gar is struggling. Last season Gar was #OperationSaveTitans and this season he’s #ThisFamilyIsDying. He’s doing what the adults should be doing, or at least leading the charge on it. He’s the glue, but who will hold him together?

He’s carrying too much emotional responsibility and Dick’s dismissal, because he is fully locked into Gotham and being Batman, makes me mad. Get your head in the game, Grayson. Gotham is going to eat your family while you retread the nostalgic steps of your past.

We all know Dick’s not good at expressing himself emotionally, though he’s usually forced to express something when talking to or being confronted by Kory, so I was proud of him for giving Gar the floor to speak. I just wish Gar spoke about himself, but then again, he needs more time and consistent offers to be heard. I’m happy Dick followed up the conversation up with a bonding/training session. There was definitely pride in Dick’s face because Gar really has come a long way in this group, but he needs MORE SCREEN TIME. I’d like to see the two of them out in the field together the way we’ve seen Kory this season with Gar and Conner.

I wonder if Gar losing control is the start of all his trauma bubbling up to the surface, will being in Gotham, hunting down a friend be too much?

As a side, has the CGI tiger face gotten worse?

Kom (and Conner):

First thing’s first, what music are we thinking Kom listens to? Probably the kind of music she can break your tailbone to, like, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole and Jay Z, or Prince, Jimmy Hendrix, Stevie Nicks and Led Zeppelin? Rihanna?

Kom is absolutely a villain this season and if she isn’t, what a waste that’ll be. A mastermind at mind games (see, her picking up the chess piece), who is going to drum up Kory’s paranoia and anxiety around her being there. Trying to kill her suspicion by guilt tripping her while simultaneously being a do good-er to the group, feigning interest in helping the Titans to earn her way in, a tip from our boy, Conner.

She says she wants acceptance and I believe that’s absolutely true, but she doesn’t know how to get that without using power, so she’ll continue to covet acceptance through and with power because according to Kory, she’s always been a climber. Add to that, being born the cursed child and the only royal member born without the gift of fire, something that differentiates them from the common folk, being too frail to participate in the same games as Kory, having a speech therapist be her only friend while being the object of ridicule and you have a villain origin story nicely set up.

I really enjoyed Conner and Kom’s exchange. The boy lit up when he spoke about seeing his family happy and it made me light up. He’s so genuine and has a big heart and Kom is going to take advantage of it, that’s not to say she won’t develop real feelings for him, but she can like him and still use him.

Conner’s “you have to earn your way into the family,” is perhaps an internal and personal struggle he has from sharing blood with Luthor. I think it may come from an insecure place because he was made a titan as soon as he woke up and no one questioned it, but as he’s only half of superman, he’s constantly trying to prove his usefulness for good, which losing Hank has rocked, leaving him vulnerable to Kom’s recognition for his otherness. Their otherness.

She gave us insight into her mind, but also she has likely seized an opportunity to use the vulnerability against Conner and to her favor by making him her kindred. Outcasts. Will she gain influence over him? He’s still young and learning, and trusting, too.

Her interest in him felt layered, ignoring the ugly customs of sex servants, she was also observing Kory’s relationships and ranking them in her sister’s life. Her being able to determine who may have Kory’s interest (which Kory gave away with her vulnerable display of worry over Dick’s welfare in front of Kom) will surely come into play at some point, right? After all, Kom did kill Kory’s last lover/royal guard. This may be me projecting. LOL.

Romantically, I’m waiting to see how they play it before I decide if I like it or not, but so far, they have a nice chemistry. Friendly.

Dick (and Barbara) :

What a lovable dumb ass.

I was so happy Kory lost it on him and called him on his lone ranger shit, at least when it’s her, even when he’s being an idiot, he’s still listening. “Let’s go.” and I thought it was hilarious that he tried explaining himself, but when Gar called him out, he got all huffy with, “Excuse me, young man.”

Gar asking Kory not to have words with Barbara over Dick getting shot was so funny because Dick’s face seemed to ask the same when she asked how it happened. We love a protective Kory. I’ll be looking at him when it’s his turn to reciprocate.

I don’t like him dismissing their concerns about his personal safety and how it affects them, it’s like he’s learned nothing after running off alone to battle Trigon, or rather has unlearned his lessons of S2. I’d like to see some more permanent emotional growth from him by this season’s end. In his current state, he’s not an exuding leader. He can’t be when he’s still wrapped up in Bruce and all things Gotham. He’s not tuned into Kory’s anxiety, or Conner’s grief and insecurity, or Gar’s emotional burden.

He’s started making it up to him, but he has much to do in taking Gar’s concerns and emotional needs seriously.

I’m not even going to try and work out the timeline between Barbara and Dick and Dick and old Titans in San Fran and S1. But it doesn’t bode well that Dick’s dream with Barbara ended in a nightmare.

I wish they’d never did the whole Dick and Dawn relationship in S2 because they’re basically repeating some of the beats in showing us how they don’t work as a couple, only his relationship with Babs makes a lot more sense even though I don't care. Dick has unfinished business with that relationship, Bruce and Gotham and I can only hope he’s wrapped it up for good by this season’s end. I want to see relaxed, smiling and happy Dick in THE PRESENT. I still Babs will be the one to notice and point out Dick's feelings for Kory.

Barbara (outside of Dick) is being downplayed a little, no? Dismissing Dick’s suspicions about Jason when he arrived, showing no knowledge of Jason’s visits to Crane and then taking the bait and moving Crane after he got a light beat down. A commissioner who was also a very capable vigilante is tricked by a recording and goes to meet “Bruce” on her own. I really enjoyed that she could hold her own and the fight scene was really good, but it was a bit baffling that she fell for that ruse. So far, she’s not entirely good at her job.

Dick’s a distraction in his own right and her feelings clearly get in the way, which is why she keeps asking him to leave the precinct and Gotham; because she’s pining a fantasy and he’s ruining it. Lastly, I really like the way Savannah plays Barbara.

Why’d they do that to Tim?? :(

Overall, it was a better episode and I enjoyed it more than latter episodes, but they’re not quite there yet for me. I’m still waiting for Team Titans.

Breast and belly descriptions for the DC ladies you muse? Maybe in-character?

The only one I currently have on my muse info list is Power Girl, so here’s a few more i like and might consider adding in at some point

POWER GIRL

“Sure my boobs are huge as hell. You think I’m going to let myself go around and NOT have a bust larger than a couple of beer kegs each, at least?! Granted, I don’t have a boob window: I AM A DAUGHTER OF THE HOUSE OF EL AND IF YOU DON’T THINK I’M GONNA SHOW IT, I’M GONNA BE EXTREMELY MIFFED.” She thrusts her chest out; her boobs are absolutely massive, and while she can reel them in case of a fight, they’re currently as big as her entirely body... times three! “Granted, I hear the feel isn’t exactly human; my fat content is a LOT denser than human does, and they rumble faintly to the touch. Like you put a hand against an underslope, and you feel something like a thousand fireworks going off beneath the skin, all the time, from all the power in me! And then your hand sinks in, and its a full massage for your wrist.”

“My stomach is more or less flat. Pretty much like a human girl who keeps in good shape and does heavy lifting works, I expect. I got great abs, but I don’t look all that cut. I’m bulky, yeah, I’m built like a truck, but I don’t look like a bodybuilder. Would be hard to find anything that’s hard for me to work out with; my belly is pretty damn solid with good abs.”

WONDER WOMAN

“Hrm. That’s a bit of an invasive question, but I did welcome any question. Very well.” She cups her breasts in a thoughtful, contemplative way. They’re massive, the lower slopes coming to a rest somewhere around her hips, the upper slopes around her collarbone, and all extremely round. Curiously, the texture of her skin looks just like good Greek clay, but when she holds herself, her fingers sink in just like flesh. She smiles faintly. “I wouldn’t say my breasts are unusual. All the woman where I’m from are built rather like me. If not quite so tall.” Given that she is presently taller than a two story building buildings, its an understatement.

Next, she claps her stomach; she’s very solidly built, athletic and fit, factoring into her extreme warrior thiccness. Her abs are much more well defined than Power Girl, and while she’s quite buff, she’s not as bulky. Her muscles are more chiseled, sleeker. They look literally sculpted. “I wouldn’t call my stomach a belly, but to each their own.”

PLATINUM

The liquid metal fembot beauty assembles herself, flowing into shape, adopting a form built on broadly human principles, her body the bright metal she is named for, various bits clicking into place as she solidifies into hard parts. She is beautiful, but obviously not human. Her breasts swell out, to enormous size, perhaps even bigger than Power Girl’s! She is OBVIOUSLY trying to show off and outdo the world’s strongest heroine and symbol of peace... too much so. She topples over, face-first, right into her own cleavage. “NOT THE INTENDED RESULT, NO ONE RECORD THIS.” She sinks into her breasts as she lands, looking more than a little grumpy, and her breasts do not behave exactly like flesh. She sinks in as if into a bowl of jello, and apparently remembering how boobs are supposed to work, pumps them up and they become dense, springy, and she pops back up. She smiles, embarrassed.

Her stomach... she glances at it. It isn’t flat, perhaps a bit on the pudgy side, and very solid. With a slight though, she expands it, pumping mass into her gut until it swells up like a balloon, extending outwards and over her hips, and downwards, firming up until she looks many months pregnant... with dozens of children. “I can adjust myself to whatever I feel like,” she says airily, and rather smugly.

STARFIRE

Her own breasts are extremely big, lower slopes almost down to her thighs, her skin blazing bright like the surface of a star and faint crackles of flaming energy as she places her hands upon the place where her breasts join her torso. The more heated she gets, the bigger she grows! And this attention has her flattered. She smiles sweetly at the unseen questioner. “You’re very sweet~!”

Her stomach is fairly big. Not huge, but almost matronly. Solid, with a hint of strong abs that fits her powerful warrior’s physique. She doesn’t look like she works out, she looks like a mighty barbarian heroine, fighting and battling monsters just to stay alive, and she certainly lives up to it.

#queued #I like the Metal Man so Platinum seemed like fun #and Diana is definitely a must have #Stafire is my favorite in the Titans so i thought of her #i thought 'WHY THE HECK NOT'#that said i wasnt entirely sure about what specifically might have bene intended by in character #them examining themselves??#explaining it to someone #so i winged it #DC #starfire #wonder woman #platinum #power girl #replies #anon replies #ask meme replies #Anonymous
