See, the thing is when you have two popular superheroes with massive fan bases who are ride and die for their fave and ready to fight and argue about which one is better, as a company, to keep both sides happy, you have to put a great deal of storytelling into emphasizing how equal they are. How they accentuate each other's strengths and balance out weaknesses, how much they respect and value each other, how they are two parts of a whole, and the world's finest team.
What DC didn't understand was- that journey of mutual respect? Of equality? Of teamwork? That's a love story. It's always been a love story.

"You only ship Vassien because you're an Elriel".
Um, no??? I ship Vassien because a romance between these two would be hot. And the plot for their story would be so amazing. The son of the spell-cleaver falling for a cursed queen in a Vasilisa the Beautiful inspired re-telling?
Bitch, sign me tf up. Like that's the sort of stuff I'm foaming at the mouth to read about.

Raven meets up with Rose Wilson, she sees Jason Todd next to her.
Raven: You're here and we have a lot to talk about... my... Lord!
Raven gasps looking at both the confused people.
Raven: You two are sleeping together!
Jason, shocked: What?!
Raven: And that reaction just confirmed it.
Jason: It did not! We aren't doing anything together. I hate her.
Rose places her hand on her hip, remaining silent.
Raven: You are a bad liar or as Garfield says, you have a terrible poker face.
Jason: Not that I'm confirming anything, but how would you even be able to tell? It's not like we're naked or anything.
Rose chuckles eyeing Jason, he averts eye contact, blushing. She wasn't saying it, but Raven could tell they hooked up last night.
Raven: Well you've been making fuck me eyes at each other for a while, but I thought it had to be typical Rose and that she'd never sleep with the likes of you.
Jason: The likes of me?
Raven: I said what I said, but the energies you have together are on fire in front of me! This is interesting and you're lucky none of them are here yet. Rose, am I right or wrong?
Rose shrugs.
Rose: I can not tell a lie, you're right.
Jason stares at Rose with an irate look.
Rose: Come on Jace, we can't keep it secret from her, she's my trauma bestie.
Raven: Right back at ya, hoe. Seriously this guy though? Why?!
Rose smirks and looks at Jason.
Rose: He's fun.
Jason: Okay, you're not even going to pretend that she's wrong?
Rose: Nah, she's my friend and I trust she won't tell Dick.
Raven: Oh God, no, he'd freak. I'm not telling him a thing, but you pick Jason? Really? You could do so much better.
Jason: Thank you for reminding me why I never liked you.
Raven: Aww no problem, babes. Rose, explain.
Rose: Raven, I'm not into scrawny green boys, that's all you need to know.
Raven: Fair, stay with me though. I need all the non-sexual details.
Rose walks with Raven who is asking numerous questions.
Jason, scratching his head: Were we that obvious?
