Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's so unsettling to see people say "You can't do that to Starfire because she used to be a shy teen heroine" when I'm thinking you can't do that because even though she was a former slave, sex was always about love and fun (I do wonder if there had been Ultimate Teen Titans (yeah, I know) if she'd have been a sex slave, or if I just missed those references because I haven't reread those stories in a million years and sexual assault was obvious (I did get that Tara was sexually active--I wasn't totally blind).

I wonder why they made the shift for the cartoon that they did, but although she was supposed to be a wet dream walking her current costume (at least in front) covers a shade more flesh and teases more porn.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I've never seen Starfire as shy, in any of her incarnations.

In the Teen Titans cartoon, she was rather naive and even innocent, after a fashion, but she was never shy. She was boisterous, energetic and outgoing.

The real differences between cartoon Starfire and comics Starfire, to me, was they all but removed her sexuality and they toned down her aggression.

Even more reason for it to be unsettling, then. I've never watched the cartoon, just reading discussion of people who think Perez Starfire is "cool art" where I'm thinking definitive canon.

YJ:

Looks like Scola isn't going to get his wish regarding a Dick/Slade showdown.

The beginning was very exposition-y. The action was great, though.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Man, counting tonight's, I am 3 episodes behind. I gotta remedy that.

Young Justice is only second to the Winchesters for me in terms of feels--the amount of crying it provokes in me is...great.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

Is Tim/Cassie Sandsmark in the comics?

Tom, not as far as I know. Although now I'm wondering if I missed something. (Plus, I haven't read the comics in a while. New 52 Teen Titans may have them together.)

Was there a new episode yesterday? There's nothing on iTunes for me to download yet.

Also, The CW has started showing Justice League Unlimited on Saturday mornings. I am very happy.

I love JLU so much. Not least because it has more strong women characters doing badass things than just about any other show I can share with Matilda.

And Clancy Brown! And the cognitive dissonance of Michael Rosenbaum as the Flash (TWO LUTHORS WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?).
