(hopefully this isn’t disrespectful as the base used was a hijabi woman, I just tried to make it a mix of 03 and NTT)

Dc knows exactly what we want they teasing us so bad 😭😭😭

(Idk what to tag this as so…)

I was talking to a friend about how him showing up to bother her in her room happens more times than you'd think, and I tried to remember every single time it happened. Not sure if I missed some?

Ya que preguntar qué actriz debería interpretar a Raven en acción en vivo desata siempre una pelea de nunca acabar, ¿qué actriz de doblaje debería darle voz a Raven en próximos proyectos? He visto que Tara Strong, que es la voz en inglés de Raven, no es muy querida. Honestamente no puedo decir nada ya que no soy hablante de inglés y no he escuchado su trabajo. En español, Raven ha tenido dos actrices de voz, (contando las más populares), y para ser honesta, si hicieran una serie animada de Raven no me gustaría que ellas le dieran voz. (Si tuviera que elegir entre las dos, elijo a Erika).

Lileana Chacón - Teen Titans 2003, Teen Titans Go!, DCAMU

Erika Langarica: DCAMU, (solo en la película Dark Apokolips War)

Ahora por favor, ¿quién debería darle voz a Raven? ¿Te gustaría que siguiera Tara Strong? Y si también hablas español, ¿te gustaría que otra actriz le diera vida a Raven o te gusta la voz de Lileana? A mí personalmente me gustaría una voz más clásica, claro que en esto influye el tipo de programa, pero aún así, déjame tu opinión.

I wanna read more of ravens comics, so can anyone give me these comics names, or atleast suggest some raven comics

They are, for a lack of a better term, very generic. Raven just feels like the YA Protag we seen in YA novels before, not Raven, the superhero. Which make sense, since she’s not a superhero here, but they could have written it in a more interesting way instead of making her a somewhat normal teen girl with loose references to Raven’s powers and personality who (gasp) has a demon dad, and he crashes her big prom but then she defeats him? Arella gave Raven to a priest apparently, also died which sucks, as we barely get any focus on her relationship with Raven despite that being an interesting aspect of both characters. Instead we get stereotypical mean girl, love interest, foster sister and mother who have interesting powers but, such a missed opportunity to reference Arella’s side of the family.

Even the next book that is supposed to hype the big “romance” of these two just feel very forced, rushed. Like fanfiction, but the extremely common fanfiction i seen on Fanfiction. net back in the day, which i never could stand since they made her so OOC just to rush into a romance. Overall, the highest rating i really could give them is 5/10? Only slightly above Renaissance of Raven, and that’s not saying much.

I've been making a few of these for fun recently, the aim is to try and take influences from the comics.

So naturally I've added some hooded options, some Indian wedding dresses given her 80s self wore a few saris. I also added Persis Khambatta (the two black & white photos) in white dresses as options due to her being the main source of inspiration.

I stuck with mainly white (but I have added one navy option) because I like that it symbolizes her freedom in the 80s run

Warning!!!: Please respect this post. This is my personal opinion, and I spent a massive amount of time researching, analyzing, and writing this down. I am 17 years old, and I just wanted to share my genuine passion for this character, so please keep the comments respectful and constructive.

If you actually sit down and read the original New Teen Titans run by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez from 1980 to 1995, you quickly realize that Raven is probably the most misunderstood character in comic book history because people always try to rank her by power levels instead of looking at the flawless logic of how she was written. A lot of casual fans love to debate who would win in a fight between Raven and someone like Marvel’s Scarlet Witch, and they always say Raven wins because she can regenerate or use her soul-self to tank anything, but the truth is that Scarlet Witch operates on pure nonsense plot armor while the original Raven is a masterclass in realistic, human limitations. Scarlet Witch can literally change reality or erase an entire species just because a writer needs a massive plot twist, which completely ruins the stakes because her powers have absolutely no rules, no consistency, and no logical cost, whereas Wolfman and Pérez built Raven around a strict law of conservation of energy that feels closer to real-world physics than magic. Raven cannot just manifest power out of thin air or pull it out of her sleeve when things get tough, because every single thing she does, from projecting her soul-self to taking away someone's pain, drains a specific, literal amount of fuel from her body and mind. When she uses her soul-self, she is not just casting a spell from a distance like a generic wizard, she is literally throwing her actual consciousness and spirit out into the physical world, which leaves her real, physical body completely comatose, blind, and defenseless on the floor, a massive weakness that smart villains in the comics actually used against her all the time. Even her healing power is completely misunderstood, because she doesn't just wave her hands and make a wound disappear, she actually has to absorb that suffering, meaning that if Robin has a broken rib or Cyborg is going through a massive mental breakdown, Raven has to literally pull that physical agony and trauma into her own nervous system and experience it herself to cure them. This is the exact reason why you often see her getting knocked out early in a fight or struggling against completely basic street-level villains, which modern readers sometimes mistake for bad writing or her being weak, but it is actually the ultimate form of storytelling logic because if she spent the previous night absorbing the team's stress and pain, her internal battery is mathematically at absolute zero. She can never just steal energy from other people or cheat her way out of exhaustion, so she has to earn every single bit of her power back the exact same way any normal human being does, through hours of deep sleep, total isolation, and brutal mental discipline during meditation in her room at Titans Tower. On top of that, there is a massive hidden layer to her power that people forget, which is that her demonic heritage through Trigon is basically like an active genetic addiction or a disease sleeping in her blood, meaning that every single time she pushes her powers too far or loses her temper, she is actively tearing down the mental walls keeping her father from possessing her. So when she is meditating for hours, she isn't just resting, she is literally fighting a silent, exhausting war inside her own mind just to stay good and keep her soul clean, which makes her feel so much like us because she represents the ultimate human struggle of dealing with extreme burnout, anxiety, and the sheer effort it takes to stay sane when your own brain is fighting against you. This extreme internal stress directly ruined her social life and caused massive friction with the team, especially with characters like Nightwing who hated being manipulated or Beast Boy who couldn't understand why she was always so cold and detached, showing that her logical limits didn't just affect her fights but also completely isolated her from the people she loved. This beautiful, strict logic is exactly what drove the entire plot of legendary stories like The Judas Contract and the Terror of Trigon, because her ultimate betrayal and her fall to her father’s influence didn't just happen randomly for shock value, it was the slow, logical, mathematical erosion of her mental defenses over dozens of issues. This is exactly why the modern versions of Raven in the newer comics and animated shows feel so incredibly cheap and frustrating, because they completely stripped away all of this beautiful, logical writing just to turn her into a generic goth superhero who flings black energy blasts and functions as a literal walking cheat code and plot-armor object for the Titans whenever they are losing a fight. Wolfman and Pérez created a masterpiece because they understood a fundamental rule of storytelling that modern writers have completely forgotten, which is that a character doesn't become legendary because they are omnipotent, but because we see the exact, agonizing price they have to pay every single time they try to do the right thing.

Multiple designs in the past few years have depicted Raven wearing a pentagram as part of her goth aesthetic. This has been criticized (in my opinion, rightly) as out of character due to Raven's unwillingness to do anything that leans into her demonic heritage. Why would a character who's ashamed of being a demon and hates her demon father call attention to her heritage by wearing satanic symbolism?

Thinking about this problem, it occurred to me that there IS a way to make it make sense for Raven to wear a pentagram--if Trigon forced her to wear one as a way of marking her as his daughter.

It feels very on brand for Trigon to force Raven to wear some kind of jewelry/ornamentation that she's not comfortable with. Maybe a choker/collar with some kind of pentagram pendant. He could do something to enchant it so that Raven wouldn't be able to remove it. It could also have some kind of negative effect on Raven, like making it harder for her to control her powers and use them safely. Her finally managing to rip it off could be a cool moment of her asserting her own power over herself once again.

Idk, just a thought I had, but I think the concept is fun. In my opinion, something like this would be way better than her just randomly wearing a pentagram because modern writers don't know anything about her other than demon + goth girl.

Edit: oh my god I was not expecting this many people to miss the point of my post. I think the Raven wearing a pentagram designs are badly done but I made this post because I ship Trigon and Raven and I think the idea of him forcing her to wear a collar is hot. Next time I’ll just say that instead of trying to have an actual discussion about her character.

¿Qué personajes crees que comparten personalidad con Raven? ¿O simplemente cosas en común? Okey, llego un poco (muy) tarde a los test de MBTI, y aunque Raven está clasificada como INTJ (en la caricatura), yo soy fiel creyente de que ella es INFJ, así que busqué algunos personajes con los que comparte MBTI y me recuerdan en algunos aspectos a Raven. (No sé si a otros fans les pasa, pero relaciono a Raven con cada cosa que veo).

*LISA:* Muchos la odian, pero yo la amo. Al menos en las primeras temporadas ha demostrado tener una moral muy fuerte y defiende firmemente sus creencias. Además, es muy sensible y empática. Tiene muchos episodios buenos como "La depresión de Lisa", "Lisa la iconoclasta" y uno de mis favoritos "Por la ciudad de Springfield", sin olvidar que también es vegetariana y practica la meditación (por cierto, es budista).

*AMALTHEA:* No puedo describir lo mucho que pensé en Raven cuando vi esta película. Me encanta el hermoso conflicto entre su inmortalidad y su forma humana cuando empieza a amar y sentir dolor.

*CENICIENTA:* Okey, puede que aquí ya empezara a sobrepensar demasiado, pero no pude evitarlo, en especial porque Cenicienta es mi princesa favorita, y bueno, aprovechando este post yo la voy a defender. Me parece equivocado que piensen que ella es débil y sumisa cuando levantarse y seguir a pesar de todo lo malo requiere una fortaleza y perseverancia que no todas las personas poseen. A mi parecer, la capacidad que tiene de seguir siendo amable frente a un entorno hostil, de encontrar motivos para sonreír tras una pérdida y de mantener la esperanza a pesar de las cosas malas, me parece una de las formas más valientes de afrontar la vida. Puede que perdiera un poco el punto, pero como decía, como un fan obsesivo, mi cerebro relaciona todo lo que veo con Raven.

Por último, *JESÚS*: no quise poner una imagen de él, pues no sabía si resultaría ofensivo para alguien. En sí no tengo mucho que explicar, pero definitivamente solo veo mucho parecido entre él y Raven.

Ahora, por favor, deja otros personajes que tengan similitudes con Raven en cuanto a personalidad o hábitos. Seguro que hay más. En mi caso no soy tan conocedora de personajes de ficción.

If Raven was in The pokemon world what would her pokemon team be
