A compilation of Bette Kane and Gar Logan moments bc I'm still mourning Titans L.A

another day, another Bette Kane post! Ft. Gar - since I am a rare Beast Boy-enjoyer.

Anyone else remember when DC was trying to make Titans L.A a thing? I do. *sigh* I shake my fist at the sky like an old man at DC whenever the possibility of the team happening comes up. Also, Gar and Bette have a nice semi-friendship that I'm pissed was never explored further before the general chaos of early 2000's DC events split them apart.

(sidenote: remember Bushido? I doubt it. He was very unceremoniously killed off in Infinite Crisis so uh...the Titans stuff did not pan out for him.)

All panels above are taken from:

New Horizons - Grant & Roy

Word Count: 1.1k

Rating: G

Details: Grant & Roy, Road Trips, Fast Food, Conversations, Missing Scene, Healing, Past Child Abuse, Light Angst, Slice of Life, During Canon, Comfort, Hope

from "Shot Through the Heart: A Roy Harper Zine"

————————————————————————–

After his stay at the reservation, Grant rides back across the country with Roy. He finds himself thinking differently about his future and realizes this could be a fresh start.

Set during Titans (1999)

Read below or on Ao3

Grant stared out of the passenger seat window. The landscape passed in a blur of blue and white, the expanse of sky larger than any he was used to.

Roy was chattering on about some story with the titans that he’d long stopped listening to. They’d been in the car for hours and man that guy could talk. But he knew Roy was talking so Grant didn’t feel like he had to, which he was grateful for. He hadn’t even pried about his time on the reservation which was good because Grant didn’t know how to explain it anyways. He tapped his fingers on his other hand. Somehow spending time with Roy’s people, living day by day with people who didn’t know him in the heat of the desert. It was so removed from normal life that Grant felt better, like someone had hit the reset button.

The drive felt like that in a way as well. Something about traveling across country, just him and Roy eased the heat in his chest. Though it was boring, Grant was starting to be relived they hadn’t gone to an airport full of people. Roy didn’t seem like much of an airport person, his logic was more along the lines of ‘why fly when you can drive 30 hours?’

Plus, there was the willingness to spend this much time with him. He hadn’t realized it then, but his foster parents never really cared. They were just doing what they were ordered to do, and any love he was shown…

“Grant,” Roy’s voice pulled him out of his thoughts. “You alright?”

Grant yanked his eyes away from the window, vacant expression shifting.

“Yeah, I’m fine.” He rubbed at his arm absentmindedly, running his nails across the indents they had made. Damn Roy for being so perceptive. He always was for things like this, with people.

“Sorry Lian’s not here to keep you company,” Roy said, pushing his sunglasses on top of his head, “as much as she wanted to see you, she put on a fit about driving this far.”

“Can’t blame her.” He hoped he didn’t realize the temperature in the car had been rising for the past few minutes.

Roy chuckled. “Yeah, road trips aren’t for everyone.” He glanced out the window at a few colorful signs that stood out against the plain landscape. “Want to grab a bite to eat?”

“Sure.” Grant agreed, finally tearing his fingers from his skin to tap on the armrest. They got off the highway a few minutes later, pulling up at a fast-food place to stretch their legs. Another few minutes and they were inside, burgers in hand.

Grant took a sip from his soda, slumping in the plastic booth. Though this trip had been nice, heading back to New York meant he’d be dealing with a lot more soon. No more peaceful heat, back to stressful missions and fragile team dynamics. Grant unwrapped his burger, immediately stuffing it in his mouth, unaware of how hungry he was.

At least there was Roy.

Finally, someone seemed to give a damn about him. And for more than just his powers or other worse reasons. He felt his body heat up at the thought. Grant jerked, scanning the restaurant for anyone instinctively before taking a deep breath. He’d gotten better at controlling it recently, of sending those feelings away. Of course, it was easier when he’d had a desert to run off to just in case.

Grant took another sip of his soda, the cold sugary drink quenching the heat inside him. He almost didn’t want to go back, he wondered if…no. They wouldn’t let him, right? His choice before had been jail or the titans, but was it still?

Though part of him liked this hero thing, liked how people didn’t treat him too differently for his powers, liked some of the people like Roy or Toni. It would be nice to be normal again, except it was all a lie because of his parents.

“Wow you’re wolfing that thing down.” Roy slid into the booth across from him as Grant looked down at his half-eaten burger. “Guess we should’ve stopped sooner.”

Grant shrugged and continued eating. Roy started on his burger and slid his fries over to Grant. They ate in silence before the teen finally spoke.

“When we get back, do I have to stay with the titans?

“Well, where would you like to stay?” Roy took another bite, casual yet curious.

“I’m wondering about maybe not doing this hero thing for a while.” Grant explained quietly. “Not that I don’t like it I just---”

“Don’t worry I get it, it’s not for everyone. Not everyone ends up stumbling back into it time and time again like me. That’s a good thing you’re not like me.” Roy looked thoughtful for a moment, his eyes passing over Grant, seeing him in such a matter-of-fact way. “Were you thinking of going back to school?”

“I guess, just back to normal, but I’m not sure if they’ll let me what with being banned from a city.”

“Hmm as far as I know, you’ve got a clean slate.” Roy grinned mischievously. Grant smiled through a mouthful of fries, realizing what he meant. Arsenal was always full of surprises.

“Though I don’t recommend living on your own yet, it’s hard at this age, trust me.” Roy looked at him intently. “You’re welcome to come stay with me and Lian though, I’ve got a place that’s not the tower, if you want.”

“Oh, I don’t want to trouble you.” Grant set down his soda, having already finished his food.

“You’re no trouble Grant.” Roy’s eyes softened. “In fact, it’d be a lot less troublesome knowing you’re alright.”

“Um thanks.” He didn’t know what else to say. Roy stood a few minutes later and they went to throw out their trash and head outside.

“So, it looks like you’re coming home with me and Lian then,” Roy said with his usual bravado, “and if Di-Nightwing has a problem with it, he can take it up with me.”

Grant smiled, those two could really bicker sometimes. Roy gave Grant a pat on the shoulder as they walked to the car. He liked how Roy never pitied him, didn’t treat him as something breakable now that he knew.

“And we’ve got the whole drive to figure this out, what school, getting you settled. We’ll make it happen, done it a thousand times for Lian.”

Maybe this would be okay. If he didn’t have to go back to the titans, he could start over again. As much as he longed for a complete reset button on his life, he knew it wasn’t possible in any easy way.

But maybe this would be the next best thing.

"Potraying Dick as a huge slut who's always getting put into fanservice is actually progressive because it normalizes casual sex and is gender equality because female characters get potrayed that way too!!!"I mean sure but i feel like we could prove those same points with a male character who's NOT a multiple time r*pe survivor of color that's gotten victim blamed for at least one his assault's and has been coded as demisexual with a discomfort towards sexual looseness for himself since the 80s anyway

Father, Daughter: Roy & Lian

“Go home, see Lian…if anyone knows who you really are, it’s your daughter.” — Grace Choi in Outsiders (2003) #33

Comic sources:

Titans (1999) #30

Outsiders (2003) #45

Titans (1999) #15

Titans (1999) #25

Titans (1999) #19

Justice League of America (2006) #11

Outsiders (2003) #20

Teen Titans/Outsiders Secret Files 2003

Image descriptions in alt text are also copied below.

A comic panel from Titans (1999) #30, showing a green-lit memory of Roy Harper smiling as he looks down at his baby Lian in his arms. Beyond him, Jade Nguyen looks at them warmly.

A comic page from Outsiders (2003) #45 showing Roy Harper as Arsenal with Lian in pink pajamas and a heavy-set man who was babysitting. Roy holds Lian up in the air with his arms and says, “And helloooo, little squeaker!” Lian says, “Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy!!” Roy pulls her in to rest his forehead against hers, holding her wrist as she says, “Y’know what, y’know what--today Nicole and Zach and Ashley and me and Peter and me went to the ac-rarian.” Still smiling, Roy corrects, “Aquarium.” He sets Lian on the floor and they look over, smiling, at the babysitter. Lian continues, “And there were penguins!! Little penguins! Lots of Penguins! And we stayed with the penguins until Omar said we had to go because we had to go home--” Omar the babysitter says, “They were closing.” Lian turns to the TV and presses her hands against the blank screen, saying, “But we came home and watched March of the Penguins--” Omar holds up four fingers, grins at Roy, and says, “Four times, but I skipped past the bad parts.” Roy says, “Thank you.” Lian grabs Roy’s leg and hangs off it joyfully, saying, “And Omar said we could go back to the ac-rarium--” Roy corrects, “Aquarium,” but Lian doesn’t skip a beat before continuing, “on Saturday and you could come with us, and then I’m gonna sleep over Ashley’s!”

A comic panel from Titans (1999) #15 showing Lian sitting on Roy’s shoulders, smiling and waving with one hand to someone out of frame as Roy holds onto her feet to keep her steady. In the background is a cloudy blue sky and the rocky spires of Oljato-Monument Valley in northeastern Arizona.

A comic panel from Titans (1999) #25 showing Nightwing (Dick), Tempest (Garth), Flash (Wally), and Arsenal (Roy) sitting around a campfire at night. Other speech bubbles have been cut off, but Roy is saying, “Still don’t see why I couldn’t bring Lian. She loves camping.”

A comic panel from Titans (1999) #19 showing Lian and Roy in Titans Tower as Flash/Wally is rushing over. There’s a blanket fort and boxes next to Lian. Roy is standing with a cane and has a white cast all the way up to his left thigh. Lian points up at him with a smile as she says, “You may start the campfire, lieutenant.” Roy salutes, his hand touching the brim of his backwards red baseball cap, and says, “Sir, yes, sir!” Lian only reaches his waist in height. Wally is saying something as he rushes in but his speech bubbles have been blanked out.

Two comic panels from Justice League of America (2006) #11 in a realistic but sketchy art style, focused in on Roy’s face which has a few bleeding cuts and his face is scrunched in pain. He’s in his Red Arrow suit. He looks up to say, “Mari, I keep a picture of Lian taped…hhhh…taped inside my quiver. It’s taking everything within me to keep from pulling it out and saving goodbye. Dig. Please.” He closes his eyes and winces with strain.

A comic panel from Outsiders (2003) #19 showing Lian’s bed from above with golden evening light shining in. Roy as Arsenal is sitting on the bed with little Lian on his lap hugging his neck. His arms are wrapped around her, and his face is shadowed, looking haunted. Little movement lines indicate Roy and Lian may be shaking. Lian’s room is filled with shades of pink and brown, and her pillows are covered in several large stuffed animals of various species.

A cropped comic page from Justice League of America (2006) #11 showing two sketchy panels surrounded by black. Roy is in his Red Arrow suit, trapped under bent metal, his skin splattered with blood. He’s nearly lying on his stomach barely holding himself up. Roy’s narration box says, “But with a prayer,” and out loud he says, “Lord, please watch over Lian--” The next panel zooms in a little but his face is still unclear. His narration box says, “And as I lose myself to the darkness--” Out loud, he continues, “--please keep her safe--” then his narration box continues, “--as the wet ceiling presses its foot against my head--”

A comic panel from Outsiders (2003) #20 showing Roy and Lian laying on a brown coach with their eyes closed. Lian’s head is resting on Roy’s chest, while his hands gently hold her elbow and back. A yellow narration box says, “They could stay close to home.”

A comic panel from Teen Titans/Outsiders Secret Files 2003 showing Roy and Lian hugging. Roy is in his Arsenal suit and his face is blocked from sight by Lian’s hair. Lian says, “Daddy, I don’t understand. Donna was your heart and you love her and now she’s become a ghost or something. How will your heart be happy?” Roy says, “Because, etai yazi, you’re my heart. And I love you.”

#roy harper #lian harper #had so many other cute panels I could add but they didn’t fit and it was too long so. happy Father’s Day. REUNITE THEM PERMANENTLY!!!!#arrowfam #red arrow #arsenal #outsiders (2003)#titans (1999)#tt #my edits #edits #heroesriseandfall

Stephanie drives me insane because imagine being constantly put down , never trusted always seen as weak and a liability. A character destined to always be despised by writers and have to take a backseat to a boy WITH THE EXACT SAME SKILL SET AS YOU as everyone parades him along and EVERYONE says that you arent good enough. You try and try and try and prove yourself and fail and get fired from a role you desperately wanted by a mentor who doesn’t give a shit abt you and so you try and get killed and tortured and go through so much and still nobody thinks you can do it . BUT YOU DONT GIVE A SHIT !!!!!!! STEPHANIE STILL TRIES SHE STILL CRACKS JOKES AND NEVER LETS ANYONE KEEP HER DOWN AND SO WHAT IF SHE CANT DO IT SHE DOESNT NEED YOUR OPINION SHE KNOWS WHO SHE IS AND SHE KICKS AND SCRATCHES AND NEVER EVER GIVES IN AND OH MY GOD I LOVE HER 😭😭😭😭😭

#SHES literally the indomitable human spirit #and when i say no one thinks ahe can do it im not joking even cass was really patronising to her in her batgirl run #They love her but they don’t TRUST her .#i think Cass gets slightly better snd IF I had control of DC. I would definitely let Stephanie finally win and prove herself and for #Cass and Tim to genuinely finally believe in her #this sounds like a anti- tim post its not lol #probs doing one of these with dick & cass got big brainrot #might yell abt ww and how underrated the lore is might scream to rhe void abt the wonderfam or titans 1999 #stephanie brown #dc comics #dc #spoiler #batgirl ! 3

Wasp’s Comics Review (more like rambling, none of this is filtered thought)

Here’s some comics I’ve been reading in order to give me more motivation to keep writing the TAXONOMY!verse. Most of these are here in order to inform my personal views of characterization and how I’d write certain people based on their comics pre-2009/Bruce-Death.

Comics I have just recently finished/coming close to finishing:

Titans (1999)

Batgirl (2000)

JSA (2007)

Daredevil (2014)

Infinite Crisis

Battle for the Cowl

Blackest Night

Gotham Central

Nightwing (1999) #51-53

Robin (1993) #183

Titans (1999)

Okay, wow. I wasn’t expecting how good it would be. I started reading it mostly for Damage-Grant Emerson since I heard he had a nice relationship with Roy, and there’s a couple issues where Bette and Gar show up. Despite a few moments where the comic shows it’s age, I’m pleasantly surprised at its overall quality and character writing. Before this, I had only a little bit of prior knowledge of the Titans, so I really got to know them from this. My only gripes with it is that I don’t get to see Grant again (in a speaking/active role) after Roy drops him off at the reservation, and I think that storyline where Argent turns out to be dating a kid is weird. This comic has also given me more appreciation for Roy and Lian. I can understand Arrowfans now, Lian shouldn’t have been killed. Wtf, man. I got attached to her. I also think Roy and Cheshire’s relationship was interesting. Garth is not a huge character in this run, but I appreciate the kind of characters that are little more drama-free. (Not totally) (again, knowing Dolphin/Cerdian from this run, wtf man. Why do so many kids die in the 90s/early 2000s?!?) In conclusion, Roy Harper and Garth are now way higher up on my list of favorite DC characters. I also enjoyed Donna Troy, even though I had no prior context to all of the Dark Angel/mind wipe stuff.

Batgirl (2000)

This was a re-read, since I last read it around 2021. I forgot a pretty good portion of the early issues, so reading it again gave me renewed appreciation for the writers and Cass’s character. It reminded me just how great her character is, and definitely refreshes my ideas about her. I will be taking this in greater consideration when I get into her role in Chiroptera. I’m still not a Cass expert though, so if anyone else has some good ideas about how she would gain the Batman mantle and fight ideologically with Jason over it - thoughts are needed!!

JSA (2007)

Another re-read. Mostly here bc I needed to refresh Grant post-Zoom attack and Tom Bronson in my mind. Now that I’ve read Titans 1999, I can see how some people might take his characterization in JSA as different and a little ooc. My POV is, Grant in JSA is older so he’s gonna be different no matter what - it doesn’t bother me as much. When he shows up in the TAXONOMY!verse though, I am definitely including his familial relationship with Roy & Lian, and maybe hinting towards his brief friendship with Toni. I do think that Roy should’ve made at least one appearance in JSA for Grant.

Daredevil (2014)

My only non-DC read this month. I mostly read this bc I needed to step away from DC content, but also I like seeing the differences in the writing of vigilantes between Marvel/DC. I want to include just a bit of the grounded chaos from this Daredevil run into the au. Also, the utter insane angst that Matt goes through. This man is constantly struggling.

Infinite Crisis/Battle for the Cowl/Blackest Night

They’re…events. Not much else to say. Somehow I need to figure out how to work out the whole “Bette got teleported onto another Earth” in the au. Also, I think I will be keeping Grant’s death. Not because I like it, but because I need the emphasis of loss and grief (for Tom) for the themes of Chiroptera to work. I’m going to resurrect him eventually. No way he’s staying dead.

Gotham Central

Unrelated to the au. I just wanted to reread some Renee Montoya stuff.

Nightwing #51-53; Robin #183

Exclusively read bc it takes place right before Battle for the Cowl. This will inform a bit of my characterization for Dick and Tim. Will give a disclaimer though, I am way more familiar with Dick’s character now than I am Tim’s. I’ve read Nightwing 1996 more than once and I’ve gained further insight from Titans 1999- so hopefully I have a better idea of him. I’ve attempted to read Young Justice (1998) but I’ve never finished it yet. I’ve only read the Robin issues that crossover with No Man’s Land and War Games before this. I have my work cut out for me with Tim’s content *sigh*

Good morning, everyone.

Just a reminder that Roy actually proposed to Donna. (at least before they become eighteen or join the new teen titans team, way before Donna starts dating Terry Long)

And was rejected by a profecy.

my elevator pitch as to why you should watch Crayon Shin-chan: where else will you find a song number about alleviating constipation filled with parodies of beloved Hollywood blockbusters

#i tried to post this 4 times over the past 3 days so please enjoy it for that alone #the Singin in the Rain ref activates my monkey brain the most but i really enjoy Misae pushing Hiroshi off the 1999 CGI Titanic #also Misae's false eyelashes slipping off during the stage number #Shin-chan is extremely good #shin-chan #vid #csc
