Let’s talk about Roy’s abandonment issues!

So this is a thing I come back to over and over again when I’m writing Roy, and for me it’s a super crucial aspect of his character, and one of his biggest stumbling blocks in relationships.

Roy is a Good Little Extrovert, right? He’s charming and flirty and very very good at faking being okay, so it’s easy to miss the ways in which he falls into his own unhealthy patterns. (Especially because he tends to fall into them with people who have a vested interest in believing him when he lies and says he’s okay.)

You can trace Roy’s abandonment issues pretty clearly and consistently through his canon from “Snowbirds Don’t Fly” on, but there are three moments in particular that for me, really inform how he reacts to feeling abandoned, and why: the detox flashback in the Arsenal miniseries, his breakup with Donna in Titans ‘99, and his breakup with Jason in RH/A.

So! Arsenal #1!

This is the only time Roy ever says the inside thoughts out loud, and naturally it’s when he’s at his lowest possible point. (We do not speak of Cry for Justice or Rise of Arsenal in this space.) And yes, he’s a teenager, and yes, he’s detoxing, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true, and that doesn’t mean the feelings will ever fully go away. There’s a part of Roy that will always believe that he is fundamentally unlovable and deserves to be left. That no one will ever stay, because no one ever has. (It probably doesn’t help that not only did both of his fathers die, they did so by charging in to meet death head-first - Ollie specifically after Roy asked him not to.)

i’d like layla/nabu as a couple a lot more if nabu was never her arranged husband tbh… just feels like theres something off about her parents basically being right about putting her in an arranged marriage

MY 20 FAVORITE MUTANTS » iv. Remy Etienne LeBeau – Gambit “I’m just an honest man living in a dishonest world.”

So @itlivesproject released preview of their first LI so why not draw him :) He looks cool and looking forward to seeing the rest of the LIs (and draw the rest of them)

i stopped working on a paper due tomorrow to sketch this 

Since I’m getting so much brainrot over Remy it’s time to look through and find where most of these outfits come from (I don’t know the exact issues or the years but will try my best to find them)

I forgot I had this joke. In some countries, there’s a pizza service called Domino’s. Bloom’s Planet is called Domino. Put that together (She probably made pizza the national dish🍕/ I guess that’s why they change the planet’s name to Sparxs??? I get it if you don’t understand since your country probably doesn’t have Domino’s Pizza or you only know the 4Kids Dub)

There was a little interview with George Perez where he said he liked how Garth was sexy and Mediterranean looking, and showed off his muscular legs. This was an interview from the 80s I found, but lost 😩 like he PURPOSELY drew Garth sexy.... whew.

TitansTower used to have it, looks like the site is no longer up! It's an interview of George Perez by Andy Mangels in 1987

Lucky for YOU, I saved that part! He doesn't just say he's Mediterranean, he also says he based Garth's looks off of an ex-girlfriend.

Garth is the prettiest of the OGs confirmed.

I do like that he leaned into the curly hair (he's had that since the Silver Age tbh) because it really did make his character stand out when they aren't in costumes. I know pretty much every comic character lost their curly hair by the 90s, but I really miss Garth's
