I will never ever get over the way Wally looks at Dick. Not in a million years.

I only want the fab 5 (+ Kori later on) when they are absolutely insane about each other. The most ride and die you will ever find.

They will never hesitate to square up again anyone who says anything bad about their team mates (and best friends (and lovers)), consistently checking in with each other even (and especially) when they are not meant/ supposed to.

I want them so fucking codependent but also completely unaware bc what do you mean you don’t constantly update your friend group everytime anything happens. What do you mean you don’t just break into your best friends house and sleep in their bed with them when you feel sad. What do you mean you keep secrets from your friends. What do you mean you don’t join your friends when they shower so you can continue your conversation. What do you mean you don’t know where every single scare on your best friend comes from. What do you mean you don’t call their dad a stupid motherfucker to his face. What do you mean you don’t know everything about your best friends.

I want them to have so many inside jokes that they are basically speaking a different language. I want them to share clothes and makeup and accessories to the point where nobody really remembers who owned what first. ( I want everyone to wear the other people’s merch always)

I want them to speak about their siblings like they are shared between the five of them. I want Tim to ask Donna a question when he is too embarrassed to ask Dick, and Cassie to ask Dick when she doesn’t want Donna to know, etc.

I want the mentors to be the other people’s aunt and uncles. ( I want the mentors and adults in their life to have a group chat where they try and help each other keep track of what their kids are doing bc gods know they won’t just tell them, so whenever they have a sleepover or a mission in one persons city, they let’s the rest of the mentors know. I also want the mentors to constantly send ‘baby’ photos and videos of their ‘kids’ in the group chat)

I want the dating history within the group to be so fucking confusing that you need a collage level lecture to understand it from the outside.

I want all of them to be married to other titans, but nobody really remembers who is married to who, especially since most of them are married to multiple people. ( a mix of Vegas weddings, undercover missions that took a turn, space rituals and traditions they got court up in, bets that were won and lost, and very intense dnd campaigns)

I want their private group chat to have more encryptions and protections than pentagon and the batcomputer put together. I want the GC to be filled with Drunken voice notes, homemade memes, pictures that should never see the light of day, secrets and jokes that would get them into soooo much trouble.

I want them to bring one or two titans along to family and work events. I want people to bet on which of the friends will go with Roy vs who will go as Dicks date to the fancy Galas, bc you can bet your ass they will be there as arm candy on their arms. (Having your friends at the Gala is the only thing that makes going to these Galas bearable). I want them to sneak out every time and go to a random fast food restaurant.

I want their fighting styles to be so engrained in each other that it is impossible to figure out who thought who what, and which of them was the first person to introduce this move into the equation.

I want outsiders to look at them and be confused if one of the OG titans are standing alone without one of the other titans. Do you see the vision?

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.

Random: have you seen dick’s girlfriend anywhere?

Roy: dick’s single...?

Random: what?? Then who's that girl he's always

hanging off of?

Roy: oh that's MY girlfriend, she's right over there

[foolsocracy]

put dick on a team and trust he will make sure they can perform as an acrobat troop

Got the okay to post our Relay Race pieces, whoo!

I know a guy who says the original Teen Titans; Robin, Kid Flash, Wonder Girl, Speedy and Aqualad shouldn't be counted as an actual team rather just a bunch of sidekicks hanging around together and the later group where Cyborg, Starfire, Raven and Changeling(Beast Boy?) joined up should be counted as the first actual team of Teen Titans. Does anyone else agree with that or is he as weird as I think

What a ridiculous thing to say.

(Breakfast Club parody Album Cover the "Fab Five" produced in support of a homeless teens charity. The Album contains favorite songs selected by each Titan)

To call the original "Fab Five" Titans just an after school club for sidekicks is not only super dismissive of that work they actually did (they saved a lot of lives and you shouldn't talk about sidekicks that way in general), it just doesn't square with reality.

The Teen Titans took distress calls from teens all over the country, they literally had methods of contact for young people to follow to get in touch with them if they needed help. On top of that they were constantly active in child and teen centric charity work all over the country and the world, as the example above proves. The Titans weren't just active as a crime fighting group, they were probably the most publically approachable and responsive superhero team...ever! I can't think of a single hero outfit that was as constantly communicative the way the original Titans were. If your parents are of a certain age, or if YOU are of a certain age, you can tell folks all about it right below.

The relationship between Batman and the Titans in a nutshell:

Bruce: I raised and trained a good son.

The Titans: You fucked up a perfectly good Dick Grayson, look at him, he's got issues.

It makes me happy how ride or die they are for Dick which in return means they just don't like how Bruce treats him.
