Just some of my all-time favorite DC superhero costumes.
If anyone is wondering why none of the really classic looks like Superman’s or Wonder Woman’s are on here, it’s because at this point I’m just so used to seeing them that I’m honestly not sure if I actually like them, or if I’m just too familiar with them to evaluate objectively. :-P
I’m usually pretty flexible with costumes, although I think the really iconic looks should just be left alone. But sometimes a character just gets a look that I think is just so gorgeous, and so perfect for them, that I can’t imagine why anyone would try to mess with it. And for the most part, that’s how I feel about these looks.
So, basically every time Dick refers to his friends as his “safety net”, I pretty much start sobbing.
Interesting note: Both of these scenes are from 1999, were written by Devin Grayson let it never be said I never give Devin Grayson credit where credit is due, and drawn by Phil Jimenez. The first is from Nightwing: Secret Files and Origins (which was actually chronologically published later), and the second is from JLA/Titans: The Technis Imperative.
Also, if you haven’t figured it out yet, yes, that top panel is pretty much my favorite comic panel of all time.
Nobody’s that much of a masochist.

“For some reason he’s not pursuing my connection with Bruce.”
Kory, are you wearing what I think you’re wearing, because that would be adorable.
#Joey your socks are cute #and Dick #Dick honey #you look like a preppy douche #reign that in
Excuse you, Dick looks fabulous. I like my boys kinda preppy.
However, the real crime here is that the first half of this scene is missing, where Raven tells her mom that the government is investigating her because her past as “concubine to a planet-conquering demon triggered a few alarms” and Arella is just like “*sigh* And they’ve never made any mistakes?”, because that scene is hilarious and awesome and basically single-handedly made me fall in love with Arella as a character.
… Also, for the record, Donna has a boyfriend-fanclub shirt too:

Kory’s is better, though.

To friends and to friendship! Long may it last!
it was all so beautiful.
-Tales of the New Teen Titans #4
Why does DC hate beautiful and perfect friendships :(
You know what I love about this?
So often with team books like this, or any situation where the writer wants to create a strong relationship, you see these relationships more or less emerging out of nowhere. They’ve known each other for two issues, and all of a sudden you’ll get these really extreme statements, like “YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON WHO’S EVER BEEN THERE FOR ME” or “THIS TEAM IS THE ONLY FAMILY I’VE EVER HAD”, and it always rings pretty false, because we haven’t seen that relationship develop, and more often than not these extreme statements are just contradicting previous history.
What I love about this team is that it’s so sweet and touching, but it’s understated. It makes sense for where the team is at this point. Some of these teammates know each other from before, of course (Dick, Donna, Wally), but as a whole they’re still getting to know each other, like Dick says here. And there’s a bond that’s starting to form, but it’s not as strong as it’s going to be someday.
Eventually, you see the Titans get to the point where they refer to the team as their family, and at that point, it has weight - because we’ve truly seen them loving each other and supporting each other as a family. We’ve seen those relationships develop.
But here, we’re not at that point yet. Relationships don’t start with “You guys are like family to me”, out of nowhere. Relationships don’t start with “I love you”.
Relationships start with “I really like all of you so much. As friends.”

As requested, my request drawings have been made rebloggable, but I’m going to group a bunch of them together so I don’t spam up your feeds and my own tumblr.
Wonder Girl and Robin goofing off together, as requested by luanna225
*squeals with excitement* Thank you so much for drawing this for me!! And thank you as well for making the drawings rebloggable, like I requested. :-)
This is absolutely adorable! I love how Dick is just nonchalantly reading while Donna has him up in the air like that, haha. And yay for Donna being a strong and powerful Amazon in every sense of the word!
This is wonderful! <3

“I’ve heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return.”

“It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made from what I learned from you
You’ll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend”
Some of you guys will have probably seen the first part of this page around, I just think the whole page is pretty cute. Donna’s life is pretty much upside down right now, so it makes sense she would default to listening to ‘Robin’s advice even though she’s supposed to be the leader.

It would be in pretty bad taste if it was written after 9/11, though.
It’s definitely creepy, though. There’ve actually been a bunch of creepy coincidences like this over the years in comics.

Fuck You Lilith Clay for destroying Donna’s and Roy’s happiness in being together.
Moral of the story, never fucken believe in clairvoyants.
I always thought the moral of the story was to pretend it never happened.
It came true, actually. Remember, Terry Long was a redhead.
No I meant this issue.
This entire issue.
This. Entire. Goddamn. Issue.
^I am totally in favor of pretending it never happened.

You’re not really a Bat until you have a picture of your besties that you keep around for the express purpose of staring angstily at it.
Well, I owe you all more than I can explain. You’re my lifeline and safety net and I’ve never regretted doing anything I’ve had the honor to do with you. - Dick Grayson

toalwaysbeme replied to your post:
Discowing and Troia were the bees’ knees, okay?
Disco twins! xD

I have to admit, my affection for this era does make me see these costumes in a much more positive light than I probably otherwise would.
(Plus, it helps that George Perez’s art can make practically anything look good.)
I think I would like Donna’s costume more if it didn’t have those giant thingies over her knees? *tilts head, considering*
But anyway, I’m glad that they ended up with these looks in the end:

As those are two of my all-time favorite costumes. :-)
New Teen Titans!Quidditch team created on dolldivine.
Yeah. I’m sorry. *coughs* I just couldn’t resist, okay?
L to R: Vic (Keeper), Donna (Chaser), Dick (Seeker/Team Captain), Kory (Beater), and Raven (Chaser).
Gar and Wally aren’t in the picture because there was literally no room for anyone else, and anyway the program doesn’t have an option for creating a green-skinned person, but you can just imagine them somewhere offscreen. (In retrospect, it probably would’ve made more sense to include Wally and have Donna be the one taking the picture, but whatever, I do what I want. xD)
For the record, I wouldn’t necessarily Sort all of these guys as Hufflepuffs, but they’d need to all be in the same House to be on the same team, and I felt Hufflepuff was what made sense for the most of them. (Plus, Hufflepuff appreciation FTW!)
Into what lantern corps would you sort the Titans? The Fab Five are a must, then you can do anyone else you feel like sorting.
Okay, sorry this took a while! I’m really not so great at these questions, but I tried my best here.
Roy = Green Lantern
Why? Because there are few things in this world that take as much willpower as beating addiction. There’s a reason Dinah says that when she saw Roy suffering through withdrawal, she knew that he was “the bravest person I’d ever meet”:
.jpg)
Beating something like that takes incredible courage, but even more than that it takes willpower. Because drugs aren’t just physically addictive, they mess with your mind as well. They make the addiction seem more important than anything else. So it takes a huge amount of inner strength to grit your teeth, remember what’s really important, and say “NO, that isn’t who I want to be.”
In general, I think when you’ve made a lot of mistakes - and God knows Roy has - it’s really easy to just give up and let your life fall to pieces. The harder thing to do - the thing that also takes incredible willpower - is to actually pull yourself out of that place and make a better life for yourself. And Roy did that, which makes him an amazing hero in my eyes.
Therefore, I made him a GL.
Dick = Star Sapphire
Yeah, yeah, fandom loves to joke about this. But all joking aside, I think it really does fit. I’ve said it before - Dick is a hero who is very much shaped by the power of love. He is who he is because of the people who have loved him, and the people he loves. I mean, he has literally described himself as being the sum of all the people who have loved him and been important to him:

And described being Nightwing as his way of commemorating them. But love is also essential to who Dick is as a hero in that he just has this incredible love for humanity, in general. He’s out saving the day, above all, because he loves people and he wants to help them:

I mean, look at that: He doesn’t just save these guys, he also sticks around and hugs them for half an hour, until they’re okay emotionally as well as physically. Power of love, right there.
Donna = Indigo Tribe
Okay, I’ll be honest - I think Donna would work as a Star Sapphire too. She has an amazing capacity for love as well. But I didn’t want to make this too repetitive, so I’m putting her as an Indigo. (For the record, I know most of the Indigo Tribe members are former villains who only feel empathy because of their rings - however, when I sort someone as an Indigo, it’s simply means that I think they have a great capacity for compassion. This is the reason Ray Palmer became an Indigo, after all.)
Donna, by her own description, is the one who’s “always looking after everybody else”. And it’s not just because she’s mature and responsible, although that’s true. Donna takes care of people because she likes taking care of people. She’s a deeply compassionate, nurturing person:

And what’s more impressive than that is, she doesn’t just feel compassion for her friends, she also feels compassion for people who don’t always make themselves easy to like:

Donna sees through those walls. Which is what makes her power of compassion really extraordinary.
I’m kind of stuck on Wally and Garth, which is why I took so long answering this. I can kind of see them fitting into one Corp or another, but nothing I feel really confident about. *shrugs* I’m sorry about that.
I am, however, 100% confident that Kory is clearly a Star Sapphire:

I mean, seriously.

She practically is one already.
