1989 vault + bbterra
part 3
say don’t go
“i’ve known it from the very start. we’re a shot in the darkest dark. oh no, oh no i’m unarmed.”
— terra with her prior life experience definitely felt the inkling that it wouldn’t work out. as the episodes progressed you could feel her getting more nervous
“the waiting is a sadness, fading into madness.”
— terra waiting for something to go wrong and eventually fading into what slade turned her into.
“halfway out the door, but it won’t close. i’m holding out hope for you to say don’t go.”
— THE SCENE. the very last teen titans scene where beast boy runs out the school door. if she called back out to him he would’ve stayed
“i would stay forever if you say don’t go.”
“why’d you have to lead to me on? why’d you have to twist the knife. walk away and leave me bleeding? why’d you whisper in the dark? just to leave me in the night? now your silence has me screaming.”
— ouch ouch ouch. beast boys perspective hurts. he was so betrayed and hurt.
“i’m standing on a tightrope alone. i hold my breath a little bit longer.”
“now i’m pacing on shaky ground. strike a match, then you blow it out. oh no, it’s not fair. cause you kiss me and it stops time. and i’m yours, but your not mine. oh no, your not there.”
— i imagine the scene where terra sacrifices herself, like the shaky ground from the eruptions and then hugging. beast boy getting swooped up my cyborg and then terra was gone.
“i’m trying to see the cards that you won’t show. i’m about to fold unless you say don’t go.”
— things change episode when beast boys trying to get through to her.
“why’d you have to, make me love you?”
“i said i love you. you say nothing back.”
— things change trauma

Lately I've been having an existential crisis with Taylor Swift songs + Ravenna couples.
So let's go...
RobRae is so relatable with: Dress; August; Cardigan; You Belong With Me; My Tears Ricochet; Cornelia Street; Gorgeus...
And there are so many others but these are the ones that I identify with the two birds of the Titans.
Rachel/Raven is Augustine. She tries to pretend that she doesn't feel anything, that her involvement with Dick didn't mean anything, but it's a deception.
In my mind, Starfire was gone for a year and a half and in that time Raven and Robin became romantically involved. “Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all” It's the moment she allowed herself to believe she could have a relationship, when she allowed herself to hope in love, she was shattered. And even though it wasn't a betrayal, it ends up feeling like a betrayal. Ravena automatically gives up on everything, the calls or motorcycle trips behind the mall, Starfire is her friend and Rachel wouldn't betray her for anything even though she knows she loves Robin.
Tell me I'm not the only one who thinks about this every night before going to sleep?!!

Growing Up in the Justice League HC
Purely self indulgence cause I've been on this and idk why so bear with me here
I can just easily romanticize growing up in the Justice League too easily and it would be a problem
you're brought in at as a baby to be trained by Diana
Apollo brings you to her and tells her that you are an ancient being that regenerates as a new person when you die and this is the form that you have taken. As you get older, you will remember the skills and memories of your past lives but you will have to be raised with someone who can handle you
Diana just loves babies so she had no problem with that
I'd say the league has been established for some time during this point and everyone knows each other's identities in the core group
You grew up in Paris and New York being raised as a mama's child
Bruce is the closest you get to a dad and he does his best
SPOILS YOU ROTTEN
all the Barbies and Legos and whatever toys you'd want as a child
They know that you've been trained as an assassin, wizard, queen, knight, sorceress, scientist, all of these other things that can be traumatic so they just want you to have a great, decent childhood
when you start remember things they begin training you to be a hero
It's like PE and recess all in one since they're really just trying to figure out what you can do
Clark treats you like a fragile piece of glass up until you're a teen cause teenagers confuse him and he just cannot not see you as an innocent beep boppin child sometimes
Barry keeps up with the culture and knows all the songs from your favorite childhood movies and tv shows that you grew up watching on the massive computer in the watch tower when you were up there
will dance to any Barbie song since he knows them all by heart
Hal makes fun of you two but secretly enjoys the movies and is very emotionally invested in Princess and the Pauper and Diamond Castle
Diana and Bruce make sure that you have a great education and training
They are the mature parents of the group and want to make sure you're a functioning member of society
you've got a bag full of grandparents in the Kents, Allans, Princes, Alfred and they all love you to death
Alfred teaches you to make the best tea and gardening, Ma Kent teaches you to quilt and make bread, Pa Kent teaches you how to drive a tractor and farm, Hippolyta teaches you about the Greek gods and ancient cultures and how to ride horses, the Allans would have loads of board games to play and love having you over
Once Young Justice or Teen Titans comes around you don't join since you're officially a Justice League member and get along better with the adults since you were raised by them
That doesn't mean that you don't like or hang out with the kids, it's just that you have better inside jokes with Hal and Barry
When Superboy comes around and the League disappears, you were the only one not taken by the portal since you were helping out some civilians
You knew that Clark wasn't dead and you knew the League was somewhere
What kept you afloat was humor and Kon attached to that since he just needed someone that wasn't insane in his life
you probably won't develop romantic feelings for each other but it's more of a camaraderie since you were both raised in a really unorthodox way
when the league finally comes back, you say it's the happiest day of your life and rant to them that you were the only one who knew they weren't gone but no one understood it
Hal and Barry are known for having a thing for chicken tenders and make sure to instill an addiction in you for chicken tenders
Arthur (Aquaman) really really really likes them too but he doesn't realize it until he comes to the League
Clark would be the one to take you out for ice cream randomly or if you're having a bad day
the mother hen therapist type
You're America's favorite Justice Leaguer and often go viral for in uniform interactions with the League
Dancing with Flash at a Presidential ceremony because the music is too beep boopin good and you can't help but bop around a little bit
Media also loves you as a civilian and it's been suspected that you are the love child between Diana and Bruce since I mean- that would make the most sense
it's a running joke in the league

NPMD headcanons based on nothing but what my 100% Real Psychic Powers tell me
- richie hates eating peanuts. not because he’s allergic, not because he dislikes the taste but a Secret Third Thing
- after exactly 2 hrs, 35 mins, and 16 secs pete will always ALWAYS stretch back and let out the loudest scream known to man to get his extra energy out
- ruth wrote an entire 1 hr 30 min musical based on star wars one night and it’s on soundcloud somewhere but she won’t tell anyone how to find it (pete found it on accident but won’t tell her because he knows she’d probably freak out about it, he still listens to it occasionally)
- steph can play the bass nd her go-to song is hey barbara (IV of Spades)
- in line with this ^^ pete has rudimentary guitar skills and wanted to write a few songs with ruth’s help but she refused
- grace wanted to learn how to play the flute but was never allowed to bc her parents thought it would “give her ideas”
- richie’s trans awakening was in elementary when he and two other friends wanted to dress as the kids from dinosaur king nd the other girl was really insistent on being zoe so he dressed up as rex and it Felt Nice
- richie’s BI awakening was the sasunaru kiss and he thought he was homophobic bc he “felt weird after seeing it”
- RUTH’S bi awakening was watching lotr fellowship of the ring when arwen said “if you want him, come and claim him” (she rewatched it multiple times and didn’t sleep)
- one time in elementary grace really wanted candy but her parents were Very against it so she paid a friend to get her one (1) gumball and dhe felt so bad she cried about it and wanted to lock herself up in church
- richie is Mildly into kpop (bc a lot of anime enjoyers i know also like kpop) and he tried to get ruth into it too (mostly the choreography bc he wants ruth to get into dancing again)
- everyone in grace’s elementary was reading harry potter nd she wanted to know what the hype was about but didn’t want the Devil Magic to get her so she borrowed a copy from the library under another student’s name and then burned it after reading to “show god she condemned the devil worshipping” (i think she’s unhinged enough for that)
- pete’s favorite scooby-doo character is shaggy ahaha
- steph used to roleplay teen titans with some childhood friends and would always ask the boy she liked at the time to be beast boy so she could be raven and pretend they were a couple
brain juice wore off pls enjoy the hcs 👾
