Imma go with comics coz yj Roy (both of them lmao) are kinda boring (Also I’m on mobile so formatting is kinda off sorry)

-How I feel about this character:I love Roy he’s such a great character? Who’s had so much development over the years? And DC really doesn’t appreciate him as much as they should

-All the people I ship romantically with this character:Jason Todd, Jason and Kory, Donna Troy, kiiiiinda Cheshire but mostly coz I love Lian

-My non-romantic OTP for this character:The Fab Five are such a great group. Titans forever

-My unpopular opinion about this character:The Roy-Jason-Kory teamup was good. The writing was bad and disrespected Roy and Kory terribly, but the idea was good

SUCH a good show. I watched it as it came out, year by year, and your posts have made me want to do a rewatch at some point.

It’s basically all I’ve been able to think about since before I even started watching it. SUCH a good show. I’m already dying to rewatch but I’m so emotionally wrecked I doubt I’ll be able to handle it for a long time.

Oh no, is Trinity actually bad? The art looks so good so I wanted to start reading it. :C

Manapul’s run as writer-artist reminded me a little of Williams and Blackman’s run on Batwoman in that, while both Francis Manapul and JH Williams III are incredible artists, neither of them are particularly good writers. I talked in spoilery detail about a few of my issues with Manapul’s first arc here, but the short version is-- his heart’s in the right place, but his writing is crappy and I’m not impressed by the story.

Since Manapul left the book, it doesn’t even have good art going for it any more. The current storyline is mostly about throwing as many different trios of characters at each other as possible in the hope that it might somehow become meaningful. The logic seems to have been something like--

“So, listen, obviously everybody loves the Trinity that is Supes, Bats and Wondy. And we’ve been getting a good reception on the Dark Trinity of Bizarro, Red Hood and Artemis. The question is: how do we keep this momentum?”

“We could do more good comi--”

“CORRECT. WE NEED MORE TRINITIES, MY PEOPLE. MAGIC TRINITIES! KID TRINITIES! EVIL TRINITIES! A vague thematic link and a boy-boy-girl configuration is all it takes!”

“Di-didn’t we try this like four years ago with the Trinity of Sin?”

“YES PERFECT WE’LL THROW THEM IN TOO.”

“Buh- but they’re not a thing anymore? We killed Pandora off and everything. Nobody even noticed.”

“It’s comics! Toss her in a Lazarus pit! No, better-- a Pandora pit!”

“What does that even mean?!”

D - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t.

d/ckbabs, but mostly because it’s impossible to read anything with them without the ship being shoved in there.  i want to actually enjoy books about my favorite characters is that too much to ask??

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

v/oltron and su/pernatural definitely.  i feel like there are others but i can’t think of them right now

C - A ship you have never liked and probably never will.

again, d/ckbabs.  also sp/tfire.  w/olfstar, if i’m gonna throw back to harry potter for a sec

K - What character has your favorite development arc/the best development arc?

I'm not sure it's about adding something to explain or move a plot so much as to explain Boone's character and what he's struggling with. Lost is, at the end of the day, a big character study of a lot of characters. That's how I took it, anyway. There are some other ways that I think it's kind of relevant, but it'd be spoilery to say too much more. :)

I'm SO excited for you to watch this and continue sharing your reactions. Also, Shannon and Boone will probably grow on you. Lost has a way of making you do a 180 on characters.

I don’t dislike Boone, I think he is a well-intentioned guy who just...isn’t very smart. I got a very clear impression of him when Jack is trying to do CPR on that lady (which Boone was trying to do first, even if he was doing it wrong) and Boone runs off to get some pens (?!), which is obviously not going to help and is clearly just a way for Jack to get rid of him, but he takes his mission so seriously that he gets a bunch of pens. That was endearing. Also I really appreciated in the 2nd episode when he tells Shannon off for being unhelpful.
