onefiercefox: Something I love about these two is how tactile their relationship enables both of them to be. Raven pretty much hates physical contact when it isn’t on her terms or when she isn’t inviting someone in, but so far Robin is the only person who can touch her this often and her be all right with it. He’s also the only one of her friends who she doesn’t fuss about opening her door or entering her room, because he has only been shown doing this one time each, and under a particular circumstance. 1. When she was under attack from Malchior he kicked her door down to get to her, and 2. when everyone was investigating the Mark of Scath and he manually opened her door, only after announcing himself. He understands her, is not afraid of her, respects her privacy and therefore, Raven knows if he puts his hand on her, he means no harm and never intends to invade her personal space. For the most part, him touching her comes from a place of protectiveness and comfort. He is also the one to ask if she’s okay most often, frequently checking on her out of care as opposed to being nosy.I’m not here to bash BBRae, but in the panel above where Raven’s hood is up and Robin is helping her off the ground, it should be noted that Beast Boy had literally just touched her moments beforehand, caringly, and she still snapped at him, saying “Don’t touch me.” But when Robin offers to help her up, she accepts. Again, not meant to bash, but it is interesting and even a little funny (funny only because she literally just rejected contact and then took help from someone else lol).Even when they first met (as shown in a panel from the episode “Go!”), Robin placed a hand on her shoulder reassuringly, and she didn’t take offense. There are plenty of instances with the other Titans, such as Cyborg and yes, even Beast Boy where she doesn’t protest their contact, and she clearly loves all her friends dearly. But Robin and Raven have a very tender and intimate relationship built on trust, mutual understanding, and gentleness that is seen both in comics and in the show.[Please do not use this as fuel to hate on Beast Boy, Starfire, or the pairings of them with the Birds. This is not meant to belittle anyone or anything else, it’s simply to glorify these two characters the way they are. There is very little on them, so appreciate what you get and leave everyone else alone. If i see ya doin’ otherwise, I will tear you a new one. Peace <3 ] -- source link
