Salhunny:

For the fandom post earlier: I WANT TO SEE YOUR RESPONSES FOR YOUNG JUSTICE. Please and thank you (◡‿◡✿)

1. The first character I first fell in love with

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now

OBVIOUS RESPONSES… There was a lot about Bart that aesthetically was pleasing to the eye, to me, haha! So even before I knew his personality, I felt his character was super cute looking already.

I didn’t really notice Tim at all at first, and I think it’s because Bart and Kon were such outlandish characters. It made Tim appear less interesting in comparison, but I know now that that’s just not true.

I think what really got me though was when Tim wore glasses for a while, haha. It’s why I draw him with them a lot!

3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t

IIIIII can’t think of any? So many of the characters in YJ were really endearing. I think the character I’m least fond of is Cassie, but I do understand why she was acting the way she did at the time.

4. The character I love that everyone else hates

All of the characters are woobies, so I can’t think of a character that is hated by a majority that I actually like. I think most people like almost allll the characters. They’re all just so adorable.

5. The character I used to love but don’t any longer

Same feels since 2003, haha.

6. The character I would totally smooch

ALL OF THEMMMMMM hahahaha. What came to mind first was Cissie, Ray, and then Anita! RAY IS A DREAMBOAT! Cissie is guh. Anita is just so amazing.

7. The character I’d want to be like

Anita! For sure. Out of all of the characters, I felt she was the one that could be looked up to the most.

8. The character I’d slap

Kon Kon Kon Kon Kon Kon Kon Kon Kon.

9. A pairing that I love

All of them, maybe— at least among the YJ members and not the adults, haha. I mean I feel like I could justify the most random pairing from there and still like it somehow. Slobo and Kon? Oh yeah, of course. Ray and Cissie? Sure sure, they have a lot that would make them a really exciting couple. Greta and Kon? I can already see how that would be really adorable. I obviously have a preference for most pairings that involve Bart/Tim/Kon in some way though because I am attached to those three the most. Anyway, the romantic pairings that I do like the most though are:

• Bart/Tim/Kon
• Cissie/Cassie
• Anita/Slobo

The rest of them I really enjoy as platonic couplings— such as Bart and Greta! Cutiepatooties.

10. A pairing that I despise

SEE ANSWER ABOVE. However, I do admit to feeling pairing burnout though! It is probably why I was so active on “weneedhelp,” because that LJ comm was mostly filled with unpopular pairings that were often deemed the “crack pairings.”

Wow, that makes me sound like some kind of fandom hipster haha.

chooblogs replied to your photoset: MORE BART FEELINGS here are some of my favorite…

NO CHIEN I DON’T NEED MORE BART FEELS THAN I ALREADY HAVE. ;A;

Holds you and trembles violently.

No wait have more. So a long time ago I found this BL game (Birdie) and one of the characters in it looks like an animu Bart.

Animu Kon?

BL SHENANIGANS!

Of course I’m leaving out the rest of the yaoiz, but you get the point.

I feel like Bart’s voice actor and Gar’s voice actor should be switched, since Bart was always such a scrawny pipsqueak that it’s weird to see him have that kind of voice? Then again, I’ll have to see more anyway. I’m already so sad that he’s not tiny, because I always thought it was a really nice dynamic considering the other characters (girls included, even if it was not illustrated well considering how Cissie was meant to be six inches taller than Cassie while Greta was only 4’8”) in YJ were of varying builds too.

Speaking of builds, I always really liked the visual chemistry of Kon and Ray because they were both tall, built guys but one of them had a very light, muted color scheme while the other one had a very colorful color scheme. Plus, Slobo was so cute because he was also tiny! He and Anita were the cutest together, gah. I also really enjoyed how Tim and Bart start off the same height, though Tim is heavier and more built— but then Tim just grows up more and more and becomes increasingly threatening to Kon (Kon’s shitty self esteem was awesome character development!). :>

Then Bart stays tiny, which isn’t a bad thing at all because man, most of my friends (majority are bioguys) and I are around 5’1”-5’5” so I always liked that there was a possibility of the YJ kids not all growing up to be 6’+ similarly-muscular-superhero-men! It looked promising in the evil future arcs of TT where everyone was older, and Bart was a suitably stockier but still shorter build. I like the idea of Bart filling out as he gets older and stronger, but without sprouting up and becoming more generic. :/

Though on that note, I’d honestly be more pleased if characters like Bart and Tim who start out fairly different in build don’t grow up to be Nightwings and Flashes. Then they could represent how muscle accumulates differently on different people depending on lifestyle, diet, genetics, and so on. However, that’s not really possible in the giant universe comic book systems like DC and Marvel, where characters are often only indistinguishable by hair color, eye color, and costume. Hence why red-haired Jason looked like Roy with arms and without tattoos. Ugh.

I do understand that it’s pretty different to try to keep characters on-model, persay, when there isn’t even much of a standard model for them in the first place and when dozens of artists are working on them in different titles every month with dozens of editors trying to hold everything together.

Ehhh anyway, tangent.

Basically waaaahhh wahhhh YJ cartoon Bart’s not my headcanon Bart boo hoo first world problems weh weh. :p
