Every Beast Boy/Raven Moment in screenshots

If I skipped over an episode, there wasn’t enough interaction to justify a post.

If you're on desktop: Chronological order of (most) everything.

(Protip: On desktop, you can add /chrono after any link to make that tag display in order.)

Onto the list! Beneath the cut:

Feel free to join or not join, and to invite any other friends you want, Tumblr or otherwise. It's super small rn but I thought it'd be fun to bring in the community element of this fandom

Oh! I hadn't before, but that sounds fun. I haven't reread them in a while, but there are some great moments in there.

(This is the comic that ties into the 2003 show, not the more recent chibi animated show.)

Actually, I thought things went pretty well. Took me a year to stop hating Beast Boy. -Raven to Terra in Titan Rising

What happened between Go! and Divide and Conquer is a question that will live in my brain for all time, so let's talk about it!

So, my interpretation of Raven's line there is that it places Nevermore approximately a year after the events of Go!. (And I recommend taking a look through my Beast Boy vs Creepy tag for an idea of my thesis here. (mobile link))

In Go!, Raven and Beast Boy get along surprisingly well for how we see them by Divide and Conquer. What I think happened is this:

Beast Boy's discomfort over Raven's dark energy powers came up at least once again, probably more, and Raven interpreted this as Beast Boy rejecting her as creepy. So she started icing him out, and taking any of his attempts at humor towards her as him being fake. In return, Beast Boy got frustrated because he does tentatively like her as a person and has been trying to befriend her, but at the same time is unsettled by her powers that he doesn't understand (in that scene, if he was really truly scared of/didn't trust her, he wouldn't be literally reaching out).

That's why by Nevermore (about a year after they initially met) they're both operating under the erroneous assumption that the other one doesn't like them. I think Raven later framing that period as "hating Beast Boy" is a bit of a defense mechanism over how rejected she felt. After all, she was plenty nice to him whenever he was real with her and wasn't putting on that jokester front.

To answer the other part of your question, which sounds like it's about how long the Titans have been a team pre-Season 1? I'd put it at only a couple months since they've officially been in the tower and operating as a team. The early episodes of S1 feel like they've been a group for long enough to be mostly comfortable working together as an established team, but not long enough to really know each other on a personal level yet—Robin and Cyborg already have a coordinated move, but either the team's never gone out to pizza together or haven't yet gone enough that anyone knows each other's orders or Star's gotten a look at the menu.

(a couple extra thoughts under the cut)

Raven: I’m not able to sense it either... I can’t believe I’m gonna say this, but I wish Beast Boy were here. Maybe he could follow the scent.

Raven: Where am I gonna buy my books? Beast Boy: I don’t remember any bookstore. Raven: That’s because you never bought a book. Beast Boy: Hmm.

Beast Boy: Raven! Is everyone safe? Raven: Yeah. We’re all fine. Beast Boy: Good, ’cause Robin needs you right away for another mission. Raven: I can’t. I’ve gotta watch the kids.

Beast Boy: Kids are easy. All you gotta do is make silly faces. Oh, a-and kids love jokes. This one never fails. Why did the cookie go to the doctor? Raven: ... Beast Boy: [whispering] You’re supposed to ask why. Raven: ...Why? Beast Boy: He went because he was feeling a little crumb-y! Get it? [laughs uproariously at his own joke, is cut off] Raven: ...I guess I’m on my own.

Raven: I need backup... Raven calling anyone! Beast Boy: Raven! Raven: Anyone other than Beast Boy! Beast Boy: Did you finish your mission? Raven: ...We had a little detour.

Raven: Can’t someone else do it? Starfire likes people... or, Cyborg..? Beast Boy: Everyone else is on other missions. You’re gonna have to— [screen cuts out]

Raven: Well, tell [Robin] I don’t do babysitting. Beast Boy: Raven told me to tell you she doesn’t babysit!! Robin: (offscreen fighting a robot) Beast Boy: ...Robin says you have to.

Raven: ROBIN! Beast Boy: Robin’s communicator! May I— Raven: Put Robin on. NOW! Beast Boy: ... Beast Boy: ...Uh, he’s kind of in the middle of something.

Raven: Raven calling Robin. Over. Beast Boy: Robin’s communicator! May I help you? Raven: Beast Boy. Put Robin on. Beast Boy: He’s fighting crime at the moment. Perhaps I can be of assistance? Raven: I’m at the train station and no one’s here. Are you sure I’m in the right place? Beast Boy: Yep. That’s the pickup spot.
