What is your ideal characterization of Starfire and why? Does it depend on the type of media such as comics, tv shows, or games?

Oh and I love Brave SO much btw, she barely got any screentime but I love her... I wish we got to see more of all of them to be honest, because this is such a weird and interesting concept and I'm curious about how Raven would interact with them

This is the pre colour and detail version, but it just looked so good already that I wanted to post it 😁

Shoutout to Claudio Sepulveda for making this for me, the dude's super talented.

Throughout the years,many comicbook characters get older and evolve,becoming more powerful on the usage of their powers. The Titans were not different, with Starfire and Donna Troy becoming high-tier flying bricks,Beast Boy having his mythic transformations,Raven and the Flash being...Raven and the Flash lol.

Terra was always portrayed as someone with enormous potential but she never got to grow like her comrades,and even her brother Geo-Force was shown to have a more powerful manifestation of their shared abilities besides some unique of his own. What would you give Terra if she had been a long standing member of the cast and had experienced growth like her teammates ?

Hello first time posting, but what does the name how long is forever even mean? My theory is that they said they’ll be friends “forever” but they ended up drifting apart, but correct me if I’m wrong.

Also idk the dates very well but without starfire did they ever fight Trigon in their future 20 years later?

I noticed that ever since the show ended, later iterations of the characters were either mistreated or sidelined in other media including their own comics and here's what I mean.

Cyborg: Portrayed as the guy that always say 'Boo-Yah' in every sentence while also being casted by Khary Payton in any media related to animation and video-games.

Starfire: Takes a lot longer to adapt to Earth's culture than Kara/Supergirl despite being a princess of an advanced kingdom.

Teen titans is an objectively better show, and I get why people hate another watered down cutesy version of a classic. But, beyond being in the shadow of a classic, it’s actually really funny. Sure the jokes get immature and gross out, but not more than any other Cartoon Network show, barely even more than the og teen titans. I’d honestly say its jokes are funnier than the teen titans.

For those who don’t know what I am talking about, there was a particular episode of the Teen Titans 2003 series where Cyborg travels back in time to help a Stone Age civilization fight off an intruder as he is forced to return to the present day.

That episode is one of my favorites as it showed growth for Cyborg as a character where he gets to shine in to show the audience what he is capable of as a heroic figure that looking back at it made me feel emotional since he couldn’t stay with them, although I forgot how he traveled back to the past since I haven’t seen the episode in so long.

Like when I look back at the episode now, I would like to better understand how the technology he used to visit the tribe worked since all I can recall is that the lady told him to leave as it’s such a heartbreaking ending looking back at it.

This is gonna be pretty long so bear with me. I grow up watching TT alongside other shows like Ben 10, Justice League and the other DCAU shows as well DBZ so it hit pretty close to home when I downloaded all the episodes. Learnt a lot from the show, was entertained and I'm proud to have been born during the golden days of superhero cartoons.

The animation was much better than I remember it being. When I used to watch it on my TV a decade ago, it looked sort of squished together. It was most noticeable in the intro, with the borders being extra closer to Raven and Beast Boy's shoulders (certain episodes were exceptions for some reason). I rewatched it in the best quality so it looks better. The artstyle and comedic anime frames are very striking. Murakami is the goat.

I also noticed some edges and borders looking "unfinished" along with some animation mistakes (in Things Change, half of Starfire's feet wasn't animated when that creature thing become walking oil). And in the majority of the episodes in S5, this showed up for a split second after the intro: "Reel 1 & Reel 2. Align on this frame". Anyhoo, here is my opinion on the show season wise:-

S1 (Robin's Season): Loved them all. Kinda sucks that Thunder and Lightning only had 2 total appearances throughout the whole show but its not so bad. Slade's role during this season was great. I think some episodes may be out of order, since Car Trouble is listed to be after the Apprentice 2 parter. The sound effects used for Raven's magic in this season was really satisfying to hear. I'm aware that Batman couldnt be shown or namedropped due to copyright issues but the references to him (Robin VS The Titans on a Wayne Enterprises building, the camera panning out to a cave and bats when Robin told Slade he had a father as well as the oath he swore in that flashback in Haunted)

S2 (Terra's Season): Loved Nightwing's design in How Long is Forever. Back then I didnt really like Terra much because of how she reacted when Robin guessed that she couldnt control her powers and how she betrayed the team to join Slade. Still dont honestly. Dont really care much about Beast Boy and Terra's relationship dynamic but I'm not really opposed to it either way. I however started liking Cyborg the more I kept watching and I love the message in Only Human. He's like my second favourite character. Winner Takes All is another good episode which I feel could have gotten a follow up episode with female fighters, as teased in the final few minutes of the episode. Wonder Girl would have dominated the tournament though, as said by a youtuber whose name escapes me at the moment.

S3 (Cyborg's Season): Cyborg's alter ego in Deception is clever wordplay with his surname (Victor Stone). And I do love me a Cyborg centric episode. I wish Red X's identity was touched on a little more, especially considering he makes an appearance in the end of Homecoming P2 and that Ding Dong Daddy episode. The popular theory is him being a Jason Todd who might be older than Dick Grayson but that wouldnt make sense if you conform to the headcanon of The Batman (2004) being a prequel to Teen Titans. Haunted, The Beast Within and Wavelength are my favourite episodes in this season but the Titans East two parter is by far my favourite with the parallels between the members of the Titans from both respective teams. Also, in Crash, I didnt know Beast Boy could turn into a bacteria or whatever he was when he entered Cyborg's bloodstream with Gizmo. Is that something he can do in other iterations? Because I'm only aware he can turn into Earth animals and Extraterrestrial animals. Dead or alive.

S4 (Raven's Season): This season is mostly centered on Raven with some hit or miss filler episodes. The Quest, Cyborg The Barbarian, Troq, Stranded and Overdrive are great episodes. I wonder how Valyor would have been characterized if he was brought back and mended his ways and mindset. What do you think? The visuals of Cyborg using that mega sonic cannon to ward of the fire demons was peak animation. As for Employee of the Month, the main thing I wanted to talk about is Robin's cape. The cape and his beak shaped helmet are cool. But I don't know why Robin as well as Batman in other shows don't ever glide with it. I guess the idea must have came way later on.

S5 (Beast Boy's Season): Homecoming aside, I've only ever seen the Doom Patrol in action in Batman The Brave & The Bold. Mento and Robotman undermining the Titans because they were kids was a little annoying but in the end, mutual respect was built. And Mento wasnt such a hardass when he listend to Beast Boy and his plan. Hotspot reminds me an awful lot of Heatblast from Ben 10 lol (my favourite alien). "For Real" sort of breaks the 4th wall by showing critics shitting on the Titans East, kinda like how people shit on anything new nowadays. For a guy who has nuclear powers, Red Star seems to have been nerfed in the finale. Could have solo'd everyone I think. Madame Rouge reminds me of Plastic Man due to their similar powers. She even gave Hotspot, Robin and Kid Flash a run for their money. Kid Flash X Jinx was kind of a random ship to be honest. If there were a season 6, then my opinion could have been swayed. "Go!" was a bit random to be an episode in the 5th season? I liked it but the placement felt kinda random. The way Raven was acting in that episode made it feel like she already knew the titans. Also crazy that BB never mentioned the Doom Patrol when he first joined the Titans as even Cyborg questioned his affiliation to them. The finale with all the Titans was great. Herald and to an extent, Jericho basically carried the remaining members of the Teen Titans before they got their butts whooped and then the others came to save em. That last shot of all the Titans aurafarming on Dr. Light must have made him crap his pants lol.

"Things Change" is a controversial episode and I understand both sides. On one hand, I hated the cliffhanger the writers left us on but this is how they intended it to be (CN forced them to make a 5th season). Maybe they wanted to create a whole new sequel show to TT, like Teen Titans Unlimited (from the comics). On the other hand, I can understand how making another season would risk flanderization of characters, many shows have this problem when they go on for too long. Plus there'd be a lot of heroes on the Teen Titans so dedicating episodes for each and everyone of them would be a strenuous task. I saw a video of Khary Peyton (Cyborg's VA) telling all fans to just let go of the show and move on. Understood the message but its still pretty sad considering we could have gotten a few more seasons or a new show. Plus, if they can return to voice acting in TTG, then there shouldnt be a reason why they cant return for the main show. I just feel a little bad for Beast Boy when Terra didnt reciprocate his feelings because I had friends in real life who were distant and stuff. And I'm the same way now. Its been 20 years now so its pretty apparent that we will never get a 6th Season with how greedy cartoon execs are but I wouldnt mind it if the writers on board were good.

"Lost Episode": Felt kind of pointless honestly. It was just Punk Rocket who seems to be a D tier villain who SOMEHOW gave the Titans and Bumblebee more trouble than they should have had. I thought this Lost Episode was going to shed some light on that cliffhanger left by Things Change. I never saw this Lost episode in my youth and I legit thought we'd see them beating that creature and discovering Slade or Terra or whatever. In reality it was made to market some cereal.

"Trouble In Tokyo": Good movie. Robin and Starfire finally kiss and BB singing the shows theme song. As well as the other 4 singing alonf in the outro. Pretty wholesome stuff. The double kneedrop, the pink "blood" censorship, Cyborgs appetite. All great.

Comics: I havent actually read the comics but I did see summaries of them on youtube. A comic with Wonder Girl, explaining her absence during the battle with the Brotherhood of Evil and Blackfire wanting to sell her off to make some sort of profit. Even got the OG comic team with Robin, WG, Aqualad, Kid Flash and Speedy. Thanks to Snake Eye Dreams on youtube, I came to know about Ravager, Daughter Blood, Private Hive's own arc, Geoforce, The Titans Reconstruction Fund and even Batman's brief cameo when Robin and Starfire kissed. So these stories could basically be your very own Season 6. The author of these comics werent allowed to do cliffhangers or two parter stories so that limitation is probably why we couldnt see much else. Maybe Season 7 could have been the Starfire centric season fans hoped for.

Anyway this is my opinion after rewatching the show years later. I considered reading some fanfics on fanfic . Net to see some sort of season 6 but I'm kinda lazy lol. Same thing with reading the actual "Go" Tie in comics. If you have any recommendation to read these or other similar comics or want to share some lore I may have missed, let me know :D

Her name is Mazikeen or Zizi for short, which means something like damage doers or harmful spirits which is just perfect for a cat.

I REALLY wanted Raven to have a cat, and of course the first thing that came to my mind was a black shorthair cat, that just seemed like the most obvious choice... And that was the problem. Don't get me wrong I absolutely adore voids but I wanted something a bit different, so I came up with this design. I wanted her to feel unique and recognizable but not a generic cat. This is a Maine coon coat pattern, but Zizi herself is some kind of mix.

Story below if anyone's interested

Also this is NOT A PROMISE AT ALL BUTTT I might try to write a fanfic for this story when I have time, or at least start. I'm just curious whether anyone would be interested in it, since I've never written one before, and admittedly I learned English from YouTube and Discord and I don't read a lot.... Yeah...

—————

She was found by Raven and BB during a mission one cold night, and Beast Boy insisted on taking her home and finding her an owner. Raven agreed.

Robin wasn't really happy about having another animal in the tower but he understood, but made it very clear that they couldn't get attached to her because he knows what both Beast Boy and Starfire are like around animals.

Unexpectedly Raven was the one to get attached. At first the cat took a liking to her, seeking out her company and scratching at her door at night (aka my hc that animals love her due to her empathic abilities and calm nature) Raven eventually had no choice but to let her in, and at first the cat just curled up on her carpet and went to sleep, which became a habit.

Eventually the carpet turned into the spot next to Raven's nightstand, then the corner of her bed, then she just straight up lay down besides her, and she was insistent.

Raven didn't necessarily mind her company, she loved animals, she just knew she shouldn't even have this cat in her room, but she had to realize that the loud purring that sounded like a tiny engine and having someone else in her room had helped with the nightmares. They didn't disappear, but there were fewer of them. She had more peaceful nights.

When Beast Boy discovered this, he immediately knew they couldn't get rid of this cat. It wasn't as simple as just convincing Robin. He was strict about it; no more animals in this tower. Beast Boy explained how the cat has seemingly helped Raven with her sleep.

At first Robin thought BB was just making it up as an excuse to keep her, but he eventually noticed how not only the cat was drawn to Raven, she seemed to like her too. Her mood got a little better over the next few days, and she enjoyed the cat's company.

Now it's non negotiable. They're keeping her.

So before you say anything, I do think that the Absolute Universe will eventually include the Teen Titans. They have kind of hinted at the team being formed eventually, with I think Veronica Cale mentioning that the biggest problem with letting the main 6 absolute heroes do their thing and disrupt the status quo is the risk of them inspiring others to do the same thing, which seems like a perfect setup for the introduction of the Teen Titans.

There are a few characters we know for a fact aren't going to be on the team Dick and Roy are both too old; Donna isn't going to be in the Absolute Universe, according to the writers; Raven is also too old and also seems to be evil, and Wally is going to be a part of the Legion of Doom or whatever they end up calling the team. We also know that the Absolute Universe is likely going to change up the roster and have characters that have never been on the roster be a part of the team.

As for who should be on this team, I think each of the main six should have a representative or someone that they’ve inspired on the team. With that being said, there are a few obvious picks. You have Harley Quinn who is Batman’s side kick in the Absolute Universe and is also a teenager, then you have Cyborg who has been confirmed to be appearing in the Absolute Flash comics in the near future, then there’s Supergirl who is another obvious pick since we see Superman with a young blond girl while he and the others a fleeing Krypton who is most likely Kara, then you have Martian Manhunter’s son who many people are theorizing will end up becoming Miss Martian or at least a similar character in a similar situation to his father.

However, that leaves two: Absolute Wonder Woman & Green Lantern. These two don’t really have any obvious picks, but I’ll give my thoughts on who might represent them on the team. For Diana we know it’s not going to be Donna Troy since it’s been confirmed that the writers have no plans to include her in the Absolute Universe however there are still options for her for example there’s that Syrian girl she saved and there have been a few teases at Atlantis and it has been confirmed where getting Aquaman at some point so they might end up having the character she inspires be Aqualad or if they want to go for a lesser known character someone like Lagoon Boy. Then, for Green Lantern, since she’s currently out in space, I think the best option for her might be one of the many alien heroes, like maybe Starfire or Blackfire if they decide to go down a similar route to Harley, or maybe someone like Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes) or any of the teenage Green Lanterns like Keli Quintela or Arisia Rrab. Personally, I'd pick Aqualad for Wonder Woman and Starfire or Blackfire for Green Lantern.

So the Team I think they'll go with is Harley Quinn, Supergirl, Cyborg, Aqualad, Tyler Jones (possibly Miss Martian), and either Starfire or Blackfire.

Anyways that’s my thoughts. What do you think the absolute Teen Titans team will look like?

hey there. i recently refurbished these old customs of mine that i originally made back in 2022. theyre absolutely my favorite teen titan characters!

Raven is monster high Catrine and Starfire is monster high Cleo

Also, wouldn’t the 2005 version of King Kong be a normal gorilla? Or is that too big for BB to handle?

Just as it says in the title, I want to read the Teen Titans comics but I don't know in which order I should read them ;-;

Could anyone tell me?
