i stopped working on a paper due tomorrow to sketch this
Porn blogs need ro stop fuckin following me honestly
Im gettin real sick n tired of it
So this is a thing I come back to over and over again when I’m writing Roy, and for me it’s a super crucial aspect of his character, and one of his biggest stumbling blocks in relationships.
Roy is a Good Little Extrovert, right? He’s charming and flirty and very very good at faking being okay, so it’s easy to miss the ways in which he falls into his own unhealthy patterns. (Especially because he tends to fall into them with people who have a vested interest in believing him when he lies and says he’s okay.)
You can trace Roy’s abandonment issues pretty clearly and consistently through his canon from “Snowbirds Don’t Fly” on, but there are three moments in particular that for me, really inform how he reacts to feeling abandoned, and why: the detox flashback in the Arsenal miniseries, his breakup with Donna in Titans ‘99, and his breakup with Jason in RH/A.
So! Arsenal #1!
This is the only time Roy ever says the inside thoughts out loud, and naturally it’s when he’s at his lowest possible point. (We do not speak of Cry for Justice or Rise of Arsenal in this space.) And yes, he’s a teenager, and yes, he’s detoxing, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true, and that doesn’t mean the feelings will ever fully go away. There’s a part of Roy that will always believe that he is fundamentally unlovable and deserves to be left. That no one will ever stay, because no one ever has. (It probably doesn’t help that not only did both of his fathers die, they did so by charging in to meet death head-first - Ollie specifically after Roy asked him not to.)

My childhood crush Helia from Winx Club
P.s. Winx fate saga was complete and utter💩
Riven and Helia do art related activities together during the weekends. Helia introduced more art forms besides music (collages, paintings, etc.) to Riven. At first Riven sucked at them, but after being reassured by Helia, he’s better at them. It also helped him express his feelings more!
Remember the scene where Helia called out Riven’s treatment to Musa? (S3 EP19) Imagine they both do that to each other. It’d be nice for each of them to find out their flaws from one another, and work it out with each other. (Or work on it by themselves.)
They both enjoy taking walks/jogs with each other. It just takes longer incase Helia wants to sketch something he sees on the way (only on walks).
Sleeping in bed together at first, Riven needed a lot of space. He eventually cuddled up to Helia, then allowed Helia to cuddled up with him. Now both hug each other while sleeping, but can change incase one or both of them need space. (Riven likes being little spoon.)
Another point: Helia helps with pointing out Riven’s toxic masculinity.
Riven tries to do things “traditionally” romantic for Helia (Writing a love poem, etc.), but either Helia (genuinely) laughs at it or just says,”You tried your best.”
Helia takes care of his skin because of his skin routine. Riven makes fun of it at first, but then gets slowly interested. Now they both have skin care routines!
Helia likes looking at Riven’s face and expressions, probably sketches them. Riven likes looking at Helia, especially when he’s smiling or laying down (Because he looks great with his hair down and out.) Really makes him blush and question himself. Ya know?
“Why did you grow out your hair?” “Because I can?”
“You’re pretty gay.” “Says the one wearing a crop top.”
Additionally: “Look at these cute pens.” “Helia that’s gay.” “...Riven we’ve been dating-”
(Made this because apparently all my ships are rare ships.Also I want to open up and socialize more.)
Sparkle on!
Yes, season four. I know this is somewhat a controversial topic because many people in the fandom seem to dislike season four, which is fine, but something that has always confused me is how readily people are to dismiss the character development of Riven. I know we all have our confirmation biases and whatnot, but as far as I see it, his character development is right there, out in the open, painted in bold letters.
So, naturally, I thought I’d share my two cents on the topic. But first, let’s talk about Riven.
