imagine breaking up with someone when you’re both in your early 20s and they take your ship and fuck off, and then you become the best dressed in the galaxy and the leader of an entire city and live in a palace. and then your ex shows up to ask a favor and he’s like 35 living in that ship and hanging out with 22 year olds and using 5-in1 soap. that’s how lando calrissian feels
I like the choices they made for these two on the show. I like the fact that Garfield and Rachel are two teenagers. As teenagers they immediately create a bond with each other. In fact, as Starfire points out, both are connected because of their situation. They are both alone. They understand what means to be different. And both have to deal with their powers.
Beast Boy is much more mature than usual, and it’s something I really enjoyed. Raven is more open about her emotions. She is clearly frightened of her powers and she fears to hurt the people she loves, but is not afraid to show to Gar her fragile side. She opens with him and they comfort each other.
I really hope they will decide to develop their relationship, because we have never had the chance to see them together as a couple. I always hated that they were just best friends. Surely Gar feels something for Rachel. It’s clear, for example when he responds evasively and embarrassed to the allusions that others make about his crush. Or when he looks at her. Rachel’s feelings are a mystery, but we are sure she really care about him. She is happy next to him. They are cute in every single possible way: when they look at each other, when they hold hands, when they smile at each other. Cutest couple ever. Plus at the beginning of the second season he saves Rachel, and at the end she saves Garfield.
