[scrambledhearts]

top five canon dc couples?

OKAY HI YES THANK YOU FOR ASKING THIS

the couples in order of ranking are:

wallinda

dickkory

brutalia

dinahollie

halcarol

under the cut i’ll have my thoughts on each ship and why i ship them bc i have chronic rambler syndrome and am incapable of shutting up <3

1. wallinda

(the flash (1987) #100)

THEM!!! i love them SO much you have no idea sometimes i think about them and just start to tear up and i do not cry easily this is just. they make me so emotional 🥺😭 they're THE otp for me y'know? there are only a couple of others pairing that come even close to this level and most of them aren't canon which. probably means something but idk.

they're just,,,they're so GOOD. they had an amazing build up, they communicate and care about each other and love each other SO much but they choose to love each other!! every single day they're choosing to put in the effort to maintain this relationship, and whenever they have problems they choose to work through them together even if there are bumps along the way and just. i. i love them SO much i am unwell ugh. i just. them 💕

2. dickkory

(new teen titans (1984) #39)

holy shit the two of them i. im 🥺 i love them they’re one of my otp’s in fact my ideal ships for dick are dickkory and dickroy they’re so fucking CUTE together!! they helped each other grow and their relationship benefited both of them in different ways—kory helped dick learn how to actually acknowledge and process his emotions, dick helped with kory’s impulsiveness and loved and cared about her SO MUCH it’s truly terrible that all of this was erased </3

also i love the contrasts in their relationship so much. kory’s guided by her emotions, dick is more grounded and logical and leads with his head. they’re both so intense and passionate but in different ways and i love that for them 🥰 in general they have such a special bond and it makes me very emotional i love them a lot <3

also here look at one of my favourite dickkory moments:

3. brutalia

(batman (1940) #244)

GOD brutalia. it’s seven in the morning and i’m just. she literally told him “i offer you all that i am” literally how am i supposed to recover from that

they’re just,,,they have this air of inherent tragedy around them. in the early days they were never really together, not until talia actually started to become more independent from ra’s, which is when i’d say their relationship really flourished, and they both love each other so much but they can never really stay together, y’know? and their relationship is inherently doomed but that never stops them from loving each other. talia gave up their baby bc she knew bruce would kill himself trying to protect them and she couldn’t bear that, and she knew it would rip them apart and just how much it would hurt her but she did it anyways bc she simply couldn’t bear the thought of losing him im. im not okay fuck

and like. i particularly love what this relationship did for talia, bc when bruce was around i feel like she was more bold when it came to ra’s. and she never really wanted to be what her father wanted for her, but she knew the ideas of freedom and leaving the league were impossible under ra’s control—like she genuinely, explicitly said that. it’s only after she fell in love with bruce that i feel like talia realized that dream was actually in reach, and then her want for independence started to grow and she rebelled against her father more, and her relationship with bruce was a huge part in that and idk. i feel like he was sort of the personification of freedom from the life ra’s wanted her to lead for a very long time and ugh. i have so many thoughts about them

4. dinahollie

(bombshells: united #15)

okay i WILL be honest here—most of my knowledge here comes from ga vol 3 and ga/bc which isn’t exactly the best dinahollie writing however there were still good things ESPECIALLY before winnick took over like?? their reunion?? when dinah just wanted ollie to call her pretty bird?? you don’t understand that means So Much to me 🥺

one thing that i really like about them is that they’re a duo—they’re supposed to be partners and it isn’t like a gimmick or anything they’re just two people fighting together for the same thing and i love that for them <3 and like. people say that dinah deserves better than ollie or whatever and maybe she does!! maybe she DOES deserve better than him but y’know what that’s not how love works!! dinah has her flaws and ollie has his flaws and despite or in spite of that they choose to love each other and they’ve chosen each other over and over again in so many different worlds

speaking of that this panel???

(dc universe: rebirth)

this kind of shit keeps me up at night i’m NOT okay

they just. they care about each other and love each other and choose each other over and over again they’re equals and partners and. i love them 💕

5. halcarol

(hal jordan and the green lantern corps #50)

i don’t know a lot about them tbh—like you know this i’ve mentioned it before but i haven’t read a lot of carol’s stuff and even hal i usually read more for lore than personal interest, because while i DO like both of them kyle is always my priority when it comes to reading gl stuff.

HOWEVER. they’re amazing. they’ve gone through so much at this point and like. their silver age shenanigans from what i’ve heard and the handful of issues i’ve read were honestly hilarious but anyways they’re just,,,they’re so. ugh. i can’t even articulate it but like?? “you don’t have to pretend with me” “if anyone could’ve made me settle down it would’ve been you” “letting her go was the worst mistake of my life” and and and “i love you carol” “then go get me” HELLO??? THEY’RE SO??? i love them sm 🥺 (also they’re both SO gorgeous which definitely helps a lot skdfkhg but yeah there’s something about them that just makes me go 🥰 whenever i think about then y’know)
