You know what I would like ?

A low stakes shenanigans comic with the Titans.

Let them hang out with each other. Let them be the found family we know and love.

Raven and Arella

Which relationship dynamic do you like with Raven and Arella? I'm kind of fond of how I perceived the earliest one. They aren't close, really. Arella wasn't really her day-to-day parent and Arella then threw herself into the community in Azarath (arguably leaving one cult for another). But ultimately she chose her daughter over that life and fought Trigon and sacrificed herself to that end.

I'd like to have seen a different follow up when she was released, though - I thought her attitude towards Raven way too harsh and I don't find it consistent with her first representation (where Raven had to urge Arellato fight, and Raven was the more proactive). It also really bugged me that she wanted to see her parents when her not having a family was a significant part of her original origin.

However, the idea that after leaving Azarath and escaping when Trigon did that Arella would jump into "ordinary" life instead of getting to know Raven and spending time with her does kind ring true to me. Sort of because she did that before when Raven was an infant. And sort of from once when I read an article from a child raised in a cult but leaving in adolescence - her mother had an "ordinary" to come back, to a framework to live in, and could more easily feel like she belonged in the outside than the child could.

The Antis found me and are accusing me of pe*o stuff because I ship Sladick... in the New Teen Titans #2, from 1980 (ya know, slades debut) Dick is about 20 fucking years old.

That's an adult, for fucks sake. I can't believe I have to explain that

new teen titans volume 1 issue #8 my beloved

[dimehun]

Raven in NTT (80) !

Adore her she’s quickly becoming a favourite. Ah the panel above is so 🥲.

Started reading yesterday? On issue #8. Enjoying it. (Compiling a post of all the funny moments I find that I’ll post eventually probably once I’m done reading)

Ah I just realized that Terry Long said at the beginning of the first NTT series (#8) that he met Donna “about a year ago” right after his divorce. Dick is implied to be around 18 at this time, which would make Donna also around that age. Which means Donna met Terry when she was about 17. Terry Long was confirmed to be around 10 years older than her in NTTv1 #20, making him 27–28 when they met. Technically I probably knew this but it’s more disturbing when I actually do the math.

oomfie talking about titans reminded me of what annoys me about current titans so bad and it’s that the entire premise is “we’re not the justice league but omg we have to live up to them :’(” like omg be so serious… it would be Okay if we weren’t more than 20 years into the new millennium

Here's Koriand'r from Teen Titans as God intended. While I do enjoy drawing cute lolis, sometimes you need to draw an extraterrestrial Amazonian with massively exotic sex appeal. Fear not, for I shall return to form soon enough.
