You know a while back I complained about Terra, but tbh I felt so betrayed along with the Titans...honestly, The Judas Contract was one of the best arcs if not THE BEST ARC of Teen Titans (I mean the show version, haven't yet gotten to the comics version).
Like the fact that I could be so attached to the character and then feel so hurt by what she did and also feel the hurt of the other characters too...
Ngl I clearly need to work a bit on my empathy. Generally I feel sympathy for characters like that but she's the first female character that is similar and yet... I wasn't automatically... I've never really encountered a female character like this...and she's just great with what she adds too all this
I just love the drama and the heartbreak. Like ugh. It really for a moment changed the children show Teen Titans was, and made it a bit more adult. Terra was very complicated and sympathetic and she made you feel so many things... and I've seen so much good metas about her... I feel like I need more!
I also love the drama she brought with shipping lmao, especially to the BBRae shippers' lmao I had no idea people were shipping BBRae even before Terra came in. LOL! Omg! Terra really must of rocked the boat for shippers! I love it!
It must have been terrible at the time what with how shipping wars can go but now it must be amusing to look back on. Because all these relationships are important, it's not really about who's endgame but what those relationships mean and what they brought.
And BBTerra was pretty wonderful but also heartbreaking.

It was another average day for the gang in Pasadena. Everyone had just gotten home from work and decided to go have dinner at The Cheesecake Factory per Sheldon's consistent schedule.
You, Leonard, Howard, Amy, Bernadette, Penny, Raj, and Sheldon all took your usual places at the eight person table.
"Let's see... what am I going to order that isn't going to make me nauseous?" Penny asked herself, confusing Howard.
"Is something wrong with the food?" His chair made a slight scrape sound against the floor as he shifted. "Should I be eating a tum?" He joked.
Bernadette shook her head, rubbing her boyfriend's back. "No, silly. It's just that when you work in a restaurant for a while, the consistent smell of the food plus eating it on your break makes you get sick of it." She explained.
"Don't you feel weird eating dinner at the place you work?" Leonard asked you, making you shrug.
"I make a point not to eat the food here. Otherwise, I'd never step foot into the Cheesecake Factory again. I honestly can't smell half the foods in here anymore." You explained, the short scientist nodding as he looked over his menu.
"Excuse me," a voice came from next to you. Everyone, confused, looked to what they assumed was the waiter, but it was an unfamiliar man.
He was tall, clean shaven, but something felt off. Your gut told you this guy was going to cause trouble. Realizing that he was speaking to you, you turned to face him more. "Yes?"
"I know this might be a little forward, but you're really attractive, and I was wondering if you wanted to grab a drink with me at the bar?" The guy asked.
You froze.
Never had someone been so forward with you before, nor had anyone been so blatantly rude to the fact that you were otherwise busy. Penny, who sat next to you, leaned forward. "Who are you exactly?"
The man glanced at Penny, a bit taken back but also not doing anything to hide the fact that he was also checking her out. "Just a guy who noticed an attractive person and wanted to say hi."
Sheldon interjected, sounding annoyed with a stranger interrupting their dinner. "Excuse me, but I don't believe you understand the social protocols here. Our friend is clearly enjoying our company, and we are more than capable of fulfilling their intellectual and social needs."
Amy was quick to follow up. "Sheldon's right. We're a close-knit friend group, and quite honestly, I think you're making our friend uncomfortable." She added, her tone protective.
The man raised his hands defensively, clearly surprised that everyone was snapping back. "I didn't mean to cause trouble."
Raj, who had been silent up to this point due to his incapability to speak in front of women, managed to muster up the ability to say, "Back off, dude or Penny will kick your ass."
Penny gave Raj a look, but everyone knew that she'd be able to take him down.
"Woah, woah! Hey, look, I'm sorry. I was just trying to meet someone. No need for a fight." Rubbing the back of his neck, he looked to you. "I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable."
Not really sure what to say, you shrugged. "You did, and I appreciate the apology. I'm going to have to decline." You tried to be nice about it, but your friends were making that a little difficult.
"Yeah, our friend is not interested. Goodbye!" Bernadette shooed him off. Surprised, the man blinked a few times before quickly scurrying off.
Once he was out of sight, the tension at the table seemed to disperse. You turned to everyone, laughing a little. "What was that, you guys?"
"What?" Leonard pretended to be oblivious, adjusting his glasses. "That whole thing that just happened!" You laughed, looking between everyone.
Amy, who sat adjacent to you, tilted her head a little. "Someone was making you uncomfortable. Did you think we were just going to let him?"
That made you smile, warmth spreading through you as you looked to everyone. Although you were slightly embarrassed, you were mainly appreciative that they were so quick to help.
"Thank you, guys." You said, touched by their concern. "Just remember I can take care of myself."
"We know. We just care about you." Bernadette smiled from a few seats down.
As dinner shifted back to its normal rhythm, you couldn't help but feel grateful for the people around you. Being apart of this quirky, overprotective group of friends meant you'd always have someone looking out for you.
You wouldn't have it any other way.
The End.

best to worst relationships in TBBT (with reasons)
1. Amy & Sheldon
they had similar interests
they liked spending time together
they had a relationship agreement that objectively helped them – they had rules, schedules and agreements which made the relationship safe for both of them
they truly like each other
they value each other’s insights
they are actually able to resolve any conflict that grows between them (not just ignore it)
they respected each other’s interests
2. Raj & Emily
they had fun together
they were honest with each other
they had different interests but they didn’t try to force one another into them
Raj broke up with her because he developed a new crush (a crappy reason tbh)
3. Leonard & Priya
they shared some part of interests
they actually liked each other
she tried to change Leonard (especially his looks)
she made him choose between her and Penny
Leonard lied to her about cutting ties with Penny
the end of their relationship was awful
4. Leonard & Penny
adorable at the beginning, but just downhill from there
Leonard liked Penny just because of her looks at the beginning
during later seasons Penny didn’t even like Leonard
she made fun of him a lot
she did not accept him at all
she mooched on him for most of her acting career and then felt superior just because she got a better paying job than him
she wanted to broke up with him but didn’t just because she became jealous of Alex
they had nothing in common
near the end of the show Penny was kind of a bully towards Leonard
5. Howard & Bernadette
they had so many red flags basically from the beginning
Bernadette didn’t like anything that Howard liked
she tried to force him not to go to space and then stated that Howard is an astronaut because of her
he said he would hate to spend as much time with Bernadette as he does with his fiends
she was manipulative, competitive and mean
he treated her like a mother
he thought he wasn’t hot enough for her ex boyfriend or him (he states that at the beginning, short after meeting her)
she felt superior just because she earned more money
