Beast Boy Is #1 Cartoon Character We Want To Have Sex With
Share
Beast Boy is the number one cartoon character we want to have sex with for the third year in a row on artist Rod VonBoche’s Twitter account.

This is no surprise to enthusiasts who follow yaoi fan art accounts.
The character is central to DC Comics current company wide crossoverDark Crisis on Infinite Earths and was shot in the face by Deathstroke in the first issue.
Gar is going to live according to the DCU’s resident physician/superhero Mr. Terrific, but the damage done might be more than physical.
And that seems to be the overarching Dark Crisis … on Infinite Earths theme.
Gar’s Titans family Donna, Roy, Starfire, Cyborg, and Raven, and other younger DC heroes like all three Batgirls, Red Hood, and the Signal gather in the hall of the hospital while Nightwing stands vigil over Gar, and deal with the aftermath of Deathstroke’s attack on Titans Tower and Beast Boy’s brutal shooting.
The message by series writer Joshua Williamson seems clear – the stakes are different when the younger heroes don’t have the Justice League to bail them out of the really tough spots.
Check out a few pages from Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #3, including a subtle callback to Beast Boy’s Doom Patrol days, and if you look really close, the first – albeit brief – appearance of the new character Red Canary.
Beastie also headlines DC Comics’ New York Times’ bestselling graphic novel series Teen Titans: Beast Boy andBeast Boy loves Raven. The two Titans leads have been shipped for years and now with their relationship canon he’s never been more popular.

IGN said last year: The two characters were never officially christened as an item in the mid-2000s Cartoon Network staple, Teen Titans. Instead, they did a lot of flirting but were perpetually preoccupied with the ever-inconvenient business of saving the world. Raven, unyieldingly umbral and standoffish, Beast Boy a bit too immature to fully voice his intimate truths.
Teen Titans: Beast Boy Loves Raven will be arriving later this year from DC Comics, thus solidifying a fan-favorite relationship. https://t.co/e73dcogn0Z pic.twitter.com/9mDNR4Jj4N

They were an unlikely pairing – after all, it’s hard to schedule a date when Deathstroke is on the prowl. But the parched, unrequited nature of their romance made the duo an obsessive fanship for dreamy-eyed geeks everywhere in the early aughts. In fact, I’d reckon that there’s been more treacly fanfic written about Beast Boy and Raven than heavyweights like Harry and Luna or Edward and Jacob. They’re perfect for each other, even if it’s difficult to explain why.
“Raven is stoic and Gar is kind of a dork, and yet their personalities complement each other,” Picolo said, in a recent interview with IGN. “I can’t imagine Raven getting along with anyone as serious as her, for example.”
And at last, in 2020, DC finally gave the people what they wanted. Piccolo teamed up with writer Kami Garcia for a subdued, breezy interpretation of some of the Teen Titans mainstays – a universe in line with Picolo’s Instagram, where you could believe that Cyborg wears Champion slides and Starfire orders McDonald’s for Robin. Within that private sanctum, where all of the pressures and responsibilities of the superhero trade have faded to the background, Raven and Beast Boy are finally enjoying some time alone, together.
it was the legion of Teen Titans fans who first dreamt up this nascent, intra-team romance, with or without Cartoon Network’s approval – they created an orthodoxy of fan fiction and fan art that established the parameters of their relationship.
Eventually, some of them inherited the earth (or, more accurately, got jobs at DC) and now Beast Boy loves Raven officially.
The headcanon is simply canon.
