#he kinda regretted it bc garfield is a super dorky name but he likes the nickname gar a lot so he kept it lol

i cannot emphasize enough that i ship bbrae in a very trans, very gay, very QUEER way and i just simply cannot relate to the 90% cishet content out there... like have fun but the vibes arent doin it for me most of the time!!!

their vibes are SO specific to me... and ive only encountered a very small handful of people that have had the same view of them ksjdksn....

#raven is nonbinary as hell and likes everyone but tbh prolly unlabeled #she doesnt see a reason to find a specific word to deacribe her ... #but if prompted she would probably say nonbinary or genderqueer #gar is a bisexual trans man but not like 100% a dude either. hes got some special gender juice goin on #like hes every single creature in the animal kingdom.. he doesnt feel fully *HUMAN* let alone fully *male* #and he tbh takes a while to see/accept his sexuality but he does eventually #by the time hes like 19 hes probably accepted the fact that he likes men (and everyone else) #like he always liked guys but he figured it was just... admiration of his cool older teammates #also also gar knew he was trans super duper young so his birth parents knew/accepted him and let him name himself #he of course named himself after his favorite lasagna loving orange cat. bc he was like 4 #he kinda regretted it bc garfield is a super dorky name but he likes the nickname gar a lot so he kept it lol #also the doom patrol also knew and accepted him but he didnt actually start transitioning until the titans #galtry knew but did not accept him and usually refused to call him by his chosen name :/ #like gar passed well enough at that age so he had to refer to him accordingly to keep face but he didnt ever respect gar in any way #also about the bbraes specifically istg they need to be at least 21 and have know eachother since like 15 to be anywhere close to ready #like if they tried to date amy time before that it would absolutely not go well custheyre both too immature and young to be with eachother #like they could date someone else. someone easier. bc they are not easy to be with. theyre both difficult broken lil bastards #and they need years of maturity and built up trust and friendship and mutual understanding before taking that leap #or else the leap will lead to falling into a giant ravine and dying (metaphorically) #basically they need to be best friends before they make that move bc theyre both too messy for it to work out otherwise... #so theres years of pining and a while where each of them actually KNOWS the other feels the same... but they know neither of them is ready #so i imagine its less of a 'woah theyre together now!!!' and more just... the next logical step when the time arrives #they come together slowly and gently and without fanfair... (until kory finds out and screams so loud the entire tower hears it of course)
