#team tag for the teen titans

[captainlordauditor]

enough with the posts about roy and wally hating bruce. where are my posts about roy and dick hearing nebraskan wally's details about home life and coming to the conclusion he's growing up in a cult.

what kills me about this is that Vic WAS ALSO WEARING A LEOTARD

Vic you are showing more skin than Dick is

The more time that passes since Dick stopped wearing his original Robin costume and Vic and Roy still call him “short pants,” the funnier it gets.

Here is the last time Vic got to call Dick short pants while he was still in “short pants”:

New Teen Titans Vol. 1 #39 (Feb 1984) — even in this same issue it’s shown as a leotard, not literal shorts, yet the nickname remains!

But Vic doesn’t let the fully-leg-covering Nightwing suits stop him (and neither does Roy):

New Teen Titans Vol. 2 #37 (Nov 1987) — IRL almost 4 years since Dick became Nightwing, in-universe at least over 1 year

Titans Vol. 1 #1 (Mar 1999) — IRL 15 years since Dick became Nightwing, in-universe ~3-4 years later

Titans Vol. 2 #44 (Oct 2002) — IRL over 18 years since Dick became Nightwing, in-universe ~5 years later

Titans East Special #1 (Jan 2008) — IRL almost 24 years later, in-universe over 6 years later

Titans Vol. 2 #7 (Jan 2009) — IRL almost 25 years later, in-universe over 6 years later

This is what you lose when you try to pretend Dick had pants as Robin :(

Titans Vol. 4 #2 (Aug 2023) —these pants are a lie! they should just keep calling him short pants. to be fun and silly, because I like it.

Other characters have called him it before, too, but I couldn’t find any of the rest of them continuing to do it years later. Also if anyone can find more panels calling Nightwing “short pants,” please do share because I find them very amusing.

Starfire is always so pretty it doesn’t matter who draws her, designed by Aphrodite herself istg

Tim Drake’s got a history with cloning. So does Vlad Masters.

Tim is past his “cloning-deceased-best-friends-in-the-basement” phase. Really, he is. But back when he wasn’t, he’d had all sorts of research compiled, on every type of cloning tech ever recorded.

One company, VladCo, had negotiated itself an amount of Cadmus’ exclusive resources to study the interactions between cloned tissue and recently-discovered ectoplasm. The quasi-sentient abilities of ectoplasm, in theory, might help fill a host body with a real soul.

The contract Tim had dug up is frankly insane. VladCo is in no way beholden to share the results of its study, nor does it need to return any of the equipment, and VladCo’s relationship with Cadmus is under a strictly worded gag order. Nobody in their right mind would’ve signed it. Cadmus did, and aside from a few million dollars, Vlad Masters got his machines gratis.

And now, a couple years after the contract was signed, fulfilled, and buried away, VladCo has done a grand total of nothing with it.

The guy’s rich. And a genius. There’s no way all that tech’s been left to collect dust in storage with how aggressively it was acquired. Masters was going to do something with it, and it was going to be revolutionary. (Tim had actually planned to steal into VladCo for notes, before the thing with the Brain, and Cassie finding out, and the intervention that followed… yeah. He’s over it.)

It’s suspicious as all get out. Eventually, though, the whole Masters deal took a back burner to a crisis (followed by a crisis… followed by a crisis).

But now with Kon and Bart back, and a few less things on his plate, Tim thinks the responsible thing to do is finally head a classic Team investigation to Master’s Manor, Wisconsin.

Yes to spread the Dickroy agenda but i think Lian should be Speedy ||| and grow up to be Nightwing

I am really envious of the confidence some people have.

What do you mean "I have never read or consume any Batman or DC media, I just read some fanfics. Here is mine ♡" ? How???

Meanwhile, I'm so stressed about making any mistakes that I always queue my posts, I delete any post I made a single mistake in, I'm going through pages and pages of fandom wiki for my fics, I looked up every map of Gotham that was ever made to determine if some place was from walking distance from the other, I have yet to finish or publish any fic because what if there's something wrong and I'm just too ignorant to see it. I cannot make a single mistake or I will combust.

It's not fair, how do some people get "you will not give a shit at all, no shame" and I get "you care so much it is killing you". Why was it not mixed and shared between all of us so we all get a healthy amount of fuck to give???

New Teen Titans (Vol. 2) #10 - "He's like something out of a bad romance novel. Man, talk about your cornballs. Who writes his dialogue? Hallmark cards?"

Vic speaking my thoughts on Mr. Wing Man >_> and wow, they're sure having him pull overtime on the lampshading meta snark in this issue:

New Teen Titans (Vol. 2) #10 - "Why will the next Teen Titan hate her parents? Will we have to turn Titans Tower into Titans Hotel? These questions will be answered...in the next sickening segment of--"Daze Of Our Lives!" Same Bat time! Same Bat channel!"

[captainlordauditor]

My current worst fear is that this results in Barry replacing Wally as the lead in Flash.

Also dear GOD get Kori’s hair out of that braid it looks awful

I want to say I'm sorry for the teen titans and, more specifically, Raven posting a lot, but that would be a lie. I'm just remembering her and them all randomly and I love them and may Trigon eat you if you have a problem with that.

[rainbowgothdisaster]

i like to think about dick jay and tim talking about being super extra affectionate with friends, yknow being all "sometimes you kiss your friends! sometimes you makeout with your friends! sometimes you fuck your friends! and its all in a totally platonic homie way!", and other ppl being like "what being on a team does to a motherfucker"

[punkeropercyjackson]

And if i said Book!Percy Jackson would obviously have had crushes on Brandy's Cinderella and Starfire because he's a millenial afrolatino from NY with undiagnosed audhd,a hate for traditional manhood and solarpunk so they shaped his taste in women(black,princess-y,Andromeda-coded).What then,poser Percy truthers?

[caffeinatedvigilantewriter]

I have an idea (again)

So this is a huge mashup of different timelines and characters, so bear with me. (Members subject to change)

Dani ends up joining the Teen Titans. (Team consists of Raven, Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Starfire, Damian, and Nightwing on occasion). They think she is a meta. She joins in her human form, maybe she’s at risk of destabilizing (but in my WIP, the GIW permanently blinded her In her ghost form.) Eventually serious chaos

Danny joins YJ in his ghost form bc YJ is a covert group. (Red Robin, Cassie, Kon, Bart) they think he is a ghost.

Dan joins the Outlaws (Artemis, Roy, Jason) in his human form, they think he has died and came back with to life like Jason.

None of them tell the other that they joined their respective groups.

They only find out when all JL allies get called to the Watchtower to help after a cult summoned Pariah Dark out of his sarcophagus.

Any media is welcome as long as you tag and comment :))

Edit: y’all these reblogs are hilarious

After Danny had officially moved in with Clockwork, he decided to do some dimension hoping. That's how he found himself in the DC universe and more importantly, how he met the Teen Titans.

It was meant to be a temporary friendship. He'd tag along with them on a few missions and then move on. But Danny found himself getting attached to this team. They quickly became like a second family to him and against his better judgement ended up joining the Teen Titans full time.

He was there during their many fights with Deathstroke. He helped them with the Judas Contract. He even played a critical role in beating back Trigon. Danny grew up alongside his friends and was more than happy to continue on the team when they reformed as the Titans. Danny truly loved his new life with his new family friends. But then the reset happened.

According to Clockwork, every so often, a reset happens within this universe. Origins get changed. Relationships get redefined. The timeline gets restarted. Everyone within the universe is given a new place. Sometimes even a new purpose. Everyone except for Danny, who was never a part of that world.

His friends had forgotten him. His spot on their team easily replaced by another hero. Danny was devastated. Clockwork had tried to comfort his ward, but Danny brushed him off every time. He assured Clockwork that he would be fine with time. After all, he'd already lost a family before, what was one more? Yet the ancient could see the boy withdraw more and more in on himself with each passing day. He couldn't bear it. So he made a rash decision.

The Titans had been suddenly transported to a weird domain. They found themselves standing before a massive clocktower. A vast expanse of swirling green surrounded them. They didn't even have time to process what was going on before the door in front of them was opening. A young man, around their age, stepped out. There was something familiar about him. No one could quite place it but it felt like they had all seen that stylized hazmat suit before.

The man's toxic green eyes widened in surprise. Then his form flickered into a small version of himself, a look of pain evident on his face. This form felt even more familiar, like the team was being bashed over the head with deja vu. The teen flickered back into a young man and this time, he was angry.

He yelled out for someone by the name of "Clockwork" and it wasn't long until a new figure appeared. He was older than the young man and wore a purple cloak. The Titans could see where he got his name from considering the giant clock in his chest.

The older man- Clockwork- went to speak but was quickly cut off by furious yelling. The young man was accusing him of doing something unnecessary as he pointed at the team. He hissed to send them back. Clockwork's form flickered to that of a baby who looked like he'd been scolded before settling on the form of an old man with a long beard. He wore a face of great sadness as he attempted to explain he was only trying to help but the young man would hear none of it.

The young man - Danny is what the team hears Clockwork refer to him as - repeated that Clockwork must fix his mistake and send the Titans back before turning and leaving without another word. The old man let out a feeble sigh as he watched the other leave. Then he turned back to the Titans.

"Would you like a cup of tea?" he asked.

It had certainly not been what the team was expecting him to ask them but if sitting down for some tea would give them some answers and better yet, get them home, then why not?
