Raven and I: An Unlikely Duo

Written by Beast Boy of the Teen Titans on Sat Oct 21 2023

Yo, what's up journal? Beast Boy here, ready to spill some beans about my unlikely duo with Raven. I know you're probably thinking, "Beast Boy and Raven? They're like oil and water!" But let me tell you something, my friend - opposites attract!

The Mysterious One

Raven is one mysterious girl. She's all dark and brooding with her purple hair and that serious face of hers. And man, she can be downright scary sometimes! I mean, have you seen those dark energy powers of hers? It's like she stepped right outta a horror movie.

But despite all the doom and gloom surrounding her (literally), there's something intriguing about Raven. Maybe it's that air of mystery or the way she always seems to keep everyone at arm’s length. Whatever it is, it caught my attention from day one.

Clash of Personalities

Now lemme tell ya - our personalities couldn't be more different if they tried! While I'm all about cracking jokes and having a good time, Raven is more on the serious side. She rarely cracks a smile unless we manage to catch her off guard.

It used to bug me how she would shut down any attempt at lightheartedness in our conversations. Like seriously girl, why so glum? But then again... maybe there was more beneath the surface?

Finding Common Ground

Believe it or not journal buddy; as much as we clash on personality fronts - we actually found some common ground! Who would've thought?

One thing that brought us together was our shared love for tea (yeah yeah I know – who'd think this green dude enjoys sipping tea?). Every now and then when things got too intense around Titans Tower – which happens quite often by the way – Raven would retreat into her room for some peace & quiet.

And guess what happened next?! Yours truly would offer to bring her a cup of tea! And trust me, seeing the surprise on her face when I brought that steaming hot cuppa was priceless. It's like she realized I wasn't just some goofball after all.

The Bonding Begins

After our little tea party sessions became regular occurrences, something funny started happening – we began opening up to each other more. Yeah, you heard it right! Raven actually started sharing bits and pieces about herself.

I found out that behind that tough exterior lies someone who's not only super smart but also has a heart of gold (or maybe dark energy?). She'd talk about her struggles with controlling her emotions and how hard it is for her to let people in.

And you know what? That made me respect her even more. Because as different as we are, we both have our own demons to battle - mine being literal animal transformations while hers being inner darkness or whatever you wanna call it.

Teamwork at its Finest

As time went on and our bond grew stronger, something magical happened – teamwork at its finest!

Raven may be serious most of the time but when push comes to shove, she knows how to kick butt alongside yours truly. Together with the rest of the Titans gang, we've taken down countless villains and saved Jump City from certain doom way too many times now!

It’s crazy how well my goofy antics complement Raven's no-nonsense attitude during battles. While I'm busy transforming into animals left and right causing distractions (and sometimes just for fun), she uses those dark energies in ways nobody else can fathom - bamboozling bad guys left & right!

A Friendship Like No Other

So yeah journal buddy; despite all odds against us becoming friends – Beast Boy: Shapeshifter Extraordinaire & Raven: Queen of Darkness managed to form a friendship like no other!

Sure there are still moments where she gives me that infamous Raven glare or shuts down my attempts at humor, but hey - nobody's perfect! We've learned to accept and appreciate each other for who we are.

And you know what? That makes our friendship pretty darn special. It goes to show that sometimes, the most unlikely duos can end up being the best of friends. Who would've thunk it?

Alrighty journal, until next time – Beast Boy out!
