 Papersak 2005-03-03 . chapter 1Advice: Please do NOT tell us Beast boy and Raven aren't compatible in a relationship. Whether they are or not... cause personally, I don't think they could REALY be in a romantic relationship and all, but it being flat-out reminded doesn't exactly make us BBxR shippers feel a lot better. But oh well... that's enough ranting...
Otherwise, about the fic itself... it was really good! Was in character and everything. And... yeah.
... also, to the person who said the BBxR hug was in issue 12 of the New Teen Titans comics... dude, I bought it off eBay and it wasn't there. Just so you know... |
 jdbb1 2005-02-14 . chapter 1 I must say this...they are not compatible of having a full romantic relationship.

Not compatible...not compatible? That's a laugh. Here's a list of reasons why BB/Rae can happen:
1. BB's been inside her head and knows how she feels...he can see her emotion in her eyes (thank his animal instincts). And she, being an empath and mind-reader (see Haunted when she "looked through Robin's eyes"), can tell what he's feeling.
2. BB's the one who's always trying to get Raven to open up, like with jokes and such (BB--"Come on, Raven. You know I'm hilarious and I'm not gonna give up until I can get you to smile".).
3. While inside of Raven's mind, BB desides to stay and help her fight (Rae--"It's my problem, I'll deal with it". BB--"And leave you alone with that"?).
4. While in Nevermore (her mind), Raven said, "I thought you didn't like me" and BB replied, "I thought you didn't like me". They realised that they do like each other, but won't admit it, kind of like Rob and Star.
5. She was jealous of Terra's ability to get to him so fast throughtout Season 2 (Terra--"What's stinks the most...that everyone *meaning BB* liked me better than you"? Rae--"Stop it".).
6. BB was jealous of Malchior in Spellbound (BB--"You were laughing and I thought I heard...is there someone in there"?).
7. BB cared enough to protect Rae from Adonis in the Beast Within (Rae--"He didn't hurt me he saved me". BB--"Raven! She's gonna be alright, isn't she? I mean, she isn't moving". Rae--"If it wasn't for that beast, I might not be here right now".).
8. Since when do brothers and sisters have moments? To quote Raven at the end of TBW, "We're having a moment here, don't ruin it".
9. Note, when BB did ruin the moment, she didn't attack him or yell, like she would have if it were say, Cyborg, who ruined the moment (ex: she attacked Cy with the stankball at the end of Spellbound after she and BB hugged).
10. Both now have inner beasts they must face (BB's Beast Within and Rae's Rage).
11. They both have been betrayed (BB by Terra; Raven by Malchior).
12. They hugged! Aw...Though it was a 'You-really-do-understand-me' sort of hug, it was still a hug and since when did Raven ever hug anyone before (except when forced to)? Never! And she hugged BB because he was right when he said, "You think you're alone Raven, but you're not".
13. Here's the evidence to top all others. In issue #12 of the New Teen Titan comics (of which the show is based), the Titans were in a dangerous situation, and Bro. Blood had consumed Raven's chakra (the diamoned-shaped jewel encasment for her powers on her forehead). BB (now Changeling) wanted Raven (who was now cleansed of her father's evil) to teleport them out of harm's way, but before she did so, Raven turned to BB, hugged him and began to sob into his shoulders, asking, "Oh Garfield (BB's real name), why am I the way I am"? |
