[martiniluvr]

excuse me. why are we suddenly drawing starfire as a petite and svelte woman. if y’all don’t give her back her 6’4 muscle mommy build I’m going to do something that will put this nation at defcon 1

superboy man of tomorrow 2 liveblog lets GOOOOO

obviously spoilers ahead

the cover is exactly how i feel about this guy. yes. squish him. he is pocket-sized. i will pick him up and squeeze him like a stress toy <3

every panel of kon getting hurt tbh (and for fellow kon whumpers. its a fucking FEAST.) <3 but also - that post going around that says ttk cant deflect energy, this is delightful acknowledgement of that. all my homies love when the ttk shatters like an old coke bottle.

obsessed with all the panels about him talking about trying to do this with ~style~, but also getting his ass beat and feeling like this is actually a workout. yes my child. tell me it's difficult. overcome <3

"this is what i wanted. me, on my own, against the scum of the universe" baby no

"no one is coming to save me. not clark, not tim, not cassie, not bart... not even kelex." BABY NO but also. prettiest boy in the galaxy. look at this shit.

the argument about not letting innocent people get hurt. kon you are . such a good person. i love you. u just never falter

intergalactic cloning lore!!! kon finding people who share shocking similarities with him!! i dont often like random characters but i'll admit i'm a fan of these guys. i'm even bothering to remember their names unlike how i treat most side characters (sorry. im a bad comic fan. however. there are so many fucking side characters. do you really expect me to remember everyones name who stays in a comic for less than 3 issues). anyways go pira! these guys are already bonding, i love them and want the best for them. thats right babes you take down that empire. maybe listen to kon about uhhhhhh not letting everyday civilians die in the property damage though. pls.

also there seem to be similarities with some of starfire's backstory? what is it with these alien races who want to clone, splice dna, and/or genetically alter existing races fr. kon and kory should bond over this i think.

kon has sooo much respect for his friends. i love that he keeps mentioning them :') this boy is a bonafide bff. ALSO. HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR YOUR OWN RESOURCEFULNESS HONEY... YOU GOT THIS!!!

"they think i'm just a weapon? well, if both sides are looking for a fight, they're in luck -- i'm just itching to show them what the house of el has to offer." YEAH BABY YOU ARE A PROUD PART OF THE HOUSE OF EL. YOU HAVE A FAMILY. <3 <3 <3

his dorky awkward little grin. ohhh my goddddddddddd. hes so fucking proud of himself. hes teaching them :') he thinks hes such a good role model. im going to squeeze him to death.

"i start to think about what conner kent would do AND ITS INFINITELY COOLER" YOU GO BABY. im so fucking obsessed with this. im having so much goddamn fun with this issue actually. they saw kon stans and they gave us exactly what we wanted. i feel so seen

whos ready to punch through a space fleet. me. im ready. im ready to watch you have the time of your goddamn life next issue.

overall i REALLY like this issue! i don't usually love the whole, "solo series in space" thing because it seems like an excuse to separate characters from the main cast and isolate them and make any growth happen outside of their friendships on earth, which often ends up pretty meh. however. this is fun and engaging and kon references his friends enough that i'm cautiously optimistic.

i do hope kon runs into other mainline characters at some point in this series though; anything to ground this more into main canon and make sure character development ties back to the main series.

What do you think the titans discord handles would be? Also hot take: for like months after they got together Robin’s handle was Starfire’s Boyfriend And Starfire’s was Robin’s Significant.

ohboyohboyohboy

raven’s account would be zinthos but her nicknames would be all over the place. everything from ‘i dont spill tea i make it’ to ‘thottiana’ to ‘graveyard? more like raveyard’. sometimes bb will change her nick and she just doesnt do anything about it. her nick was ‘dragon bitch’ for at least four months bcos of this

robin’s acc would be maybe acrobitch because he’s Like That. his nicknames would be like, ‘gotham strangler’, ‘avoiding my problems’, ‘finland doesn’t exist’, dumb ish like that. he loves changing it to bird names, too. he was ‘bluebird’, ‘cardinal’, ‘seagull’, stuff like that. ‘peacock’ stayed for so long oh my god

cyborg’s acc probs smth like ‘irlbeyonce’ or ‘booyah’ bcos gotta keep the og phrase yknow. nicks would range from ‘beep beep mofo’ to ‘rock fish’ to ‘basically an airplane’. just a bunch of inside jokes . ‘sadness pudding’ (if u get that joke ur a real vet)

beast boy’s acc is ‘greenmachine’ and his nicks are so dumb. cyborg changes them all the time to things like ‘string bean’, ‘leaf’, ‘mossy boy’, just green things. his nick was ‘skittles’ for a while bc he mentioned how the og green skittle, lime, is so much better than green apple. ‘snake charmer’ made an appearance, as did ‘lion tamer’, just animal nicks

starfire’s acc would be ‘goldengirl’ and her nicks would b WILD because she barely changes it so everyone else does but flksdhf yeah. her nicks could be ‘seahorse’ or ‘beauty’ (robin’s was ‘beast’), ‘rosebud’, ‘sunshine’, ‘rainbow’. sometimes she changes them to niche nicknames from her planet. she gets ‘alien babe’ and ‘literal pyrite’, or ‘penny penny penny’, just random junk. love her. 

and robin n stafire do so many matching nicknames it’s sickening (and cute)

sometimes cyborg and beast boy do matching ones, or raven n cyborg, raven n starfire. bb n robin have matched, as well as bb n cyborgggg
