The music in Teen Titans is really lovely! They do a wonderful job at setting the moods. Probably why some scenes really hit hard and feel particularly scary or painful in contrast with the light hearted moments.

On July 19, 2003, the highly regarded "Teen Titans" cartoon premiered. It featured the villain Slade Wilson (Deathstroke) sending some new recruits from H.A.E.Y.P./H.I.V.E. (Gizmo, Jynx, and Mammoth) to battle the Teen Titans (Robin, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Raven, and Starfire). ("Final Exam", Teen Titans, TV, Event)

Batman Adventures Annual #2 is a big Jack Kirby Tribute issue guest starring The Demon Etrigan. They realized they had to fill a lot more pages so they inserted a dream sequence with an obscure Kirby creation from the 70s.
Pisces, The Witch Queen of Ancient Sumeria, had only ever appeared as a dream sequence in the first two pages of Weird Mystery Tales Issue #1 from 1972.

They've finally decided to release the Teen Titans OST!!!!!
This is huge. The music was always so incredible in this show so to be about to finally listen to the clean score is something many of us have wanted for a long time.
Not sure what made them decide to do this, but I'm so happy!

I can't believe Teen Titans is officially 20 years old today. My favorite animated show and one of the best imo. It got me through a lot of shit & means the world to me
Starfire- the Heart
My favorite character on Teen Titans, and still my favorite hero.
A joyful person who loved the world around despite its cruelty. An immigrant who loved her culture yet always struggled w/ her sense of place and being an outsider like me. Her journey becoming more sure of herself & her place & an advocate for other outsiders like Red Star is beautiful one.
Cyborg- The Lynchpin
A extroverted, disabled black hero who had a deep internal struggle to accept that his disability doesn't contradict, but strengthens his humanity
His main arc on what it means to be a 'man' - that he doesn’t have to prove anything to anyone but instead be sure of himself. As a black hero, his defiance being rewarded, not shamed, resulting in victory in the end is still one of my favorites TT03 arcs
Raven- The Inspiration
When I was younger, I was embarrassed to admit how much I was like Raven bc I hated feeling like a closed-off outcast.
But now understanding Raven as a closed-off person who hid her emotions in spite of how she cared (which was the most out of anyone) to protect everyone. Who constantly fought for good despite being deemed a curse bc she hoped for better- Raven is an inspiration
Her journey to accept her emotions & forge her own destiny and not give into despair is one of the best arcs in all animation
Beast Boy, the Wild Card
To be honest, I despise his immaturity when I was younger.
Now I know he was just a kid trying to be happy despite his hardships (like terrible parentals & Terra).
His season of growing up, learning to let go, and building a team of underrated/inexperienced heroes like himself to defeat Brotherhood of Evil against all odds when all hope was lost was peak
Robin- the Leader
Finally, the Boy Wonder, what else is there to say?
A character so flawed, struggling w/ anger, darkness, and obsessiveness, but will go to war for his friends, & sacrifice all for those he loved.
Learning to let people in and that he can be more than hero. Best Robin adaptation we have seen.
Not just the core 5, but the entire Titans family was amazing. Characters who left an impact despite limited screentime. Más y Menos, Thunder and Lightning, Titans East, Speedy, Hotspot, Kole, and too many to name. With the best Bumblebee we have ever had in any media.
Thank you so much to Glen Murakami, David Slack, Amy Wolfram, Sam Register, Derrick Wyatt (RIP), Scott Menville, Hynden Walch, Khary Payton, Tara Strong, Greg Cipes, and so many countless others in the cast & crew for giving this to me and so many others.
Forever grateful for the Titans' stories & memories & for Robin, Cyborg, Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy
