Ali's turn to ask a question! :)

Who are your character's love interests? Do they have one true love in their canon? A series of failed relationships and angry exes? Have they sworn off love entirely? Do they have the hots for someone in the City?

Yeah, so basically feel free to tl;dr on the subject on canon and City love interests! If I get bored later, I might even make a chart showing about it!

So for a character that thrives a lot on feelings and relationships Dick has had precious few serious love interests in canon. Casual hookups don't tend to appeal to him unless he's really exceptionally desperate and lonely, and he invests a lot in the relationships he does have which makes inevitable comic book breakups crappy for him by default. :c

But! His first real girlfriend was Kory, and overall it was an intense and passionate and really character defining relationship in lots of ways. He really really did love her and he tried insanely hard to marry her before things fell apart in a few infamously terrible stories, and over the years they had a few more feelingsy one-night stands before finally ending it for good shortly before Dick left the Titans again to be Batman.

Babs is probably the person Dick has been in love with the longest, though vacillating retcons love to mess with these details a lot. But suffice to say Dick crushed on her basically forever but they weren’t really caught up enough in age and maturity level to date seriously until he moved to Bludhaven. They were together for a long time and they helped each other with things and irreconcilable bat-issues not-withstanding they did manage to have a pretty solid, realistic, and mostly stable loving relationship. Because Dick is Dick they also parted ultimately with an engagement, and things have been awkwardly in limbo there ever since. Canon still ships it though and so do I. ;;

Other honorable mentions include!:

+ Donna Troy, ie the woman he’s known the longest in his life and probably the only girl he was ever really emotionally close to in those awkward prepubescent-early teen years. The window of opportunity in which that relationship could have become romantic sort of passed though, and now he considers her a sister and 100% one of the people he loves and trusts most.

+ He slept with Helena Bertinelli one cold and lonely night back home and was pretty willing at the time to pursue the relationship further, but Helena wasn’t down and so nothing more really ever came of it. After a few years of awkwardness they managed to put it behind them and become friends.

+ In the city he had a brief and awkward relationship with Helena Kyle that involved lots more sex than feelings, except then Dick had feelings and that sort of messed up the thing they had. :c He also flirted with Khisanth a lot before he realized she ate people and they almost had beach sex once. More recently he was heading in that direction again with Babs before she ported out, and at the moment he’s still missing her while also nursing an awkward and probably doomed crush on Andromeda.

Hehhh well NORMAN used to be married to a woman he loooooooved, he briefly dated his nurse Kolina and his son's ex-girlfriend Lily, and obviously there's Gwen Stacy which I won't get... into... and he's inappropriately creep-flirted on Songbird and Ben Urich and then there's some other stuff!! In this City he was obsessed with Delirium for a loooooong time, not really in love with her but he occasionally mistakes obsession for romance. (See: Kolina.) He "dated" Selina, dated Madelyne Pryor, flirted with Donna Troy (not our current one!!) and is now dating Bellatrix! And creep-flirts with Eddie a lot.

FELICIA has only had a couple of boyfriends before coming to the City, no one with names!! but she's generally not much of a serious relationship-type gal. She liked Spider-Man for a while even upon coming to the City, but she got over him pretty quickly because the Spider-Man she meant wasn't quite to her tastes. Then she was kind of into Mark Grayson (Invincible) but very casually (and she's casually been appreciative of some ladies, all of them redheads for some reason) and all the while she and the Riddler were pretty constantly flirty! Then she got more serious about noting Eddie and they not-dated for a while, and then actually dated, and then briefly separated -- during which time she and Kate Kane had a minor fling -- and then got back together and are dating again. Yay!!

ROBERT REYNOLDS is married to Lindy Reynolds and dear god I do not want to get into or acknowledge all the crappy awful creepy OOC ~retcon~ flings he's had, please, don't make me. But if he's ever flirted with Midnighter it was totally accidental... heh.

HARVEY was married to his wife Gilda, and he's had several retroactive relationships since then; Janice Porter, who he'd met when he was a professor but got with after he was Two-Face, and Carol Bermingham, a District Attorney who ~he loved~ and then killed, oops. There was a woman he briefly crushed on who had DID and, of course, there was Renee Montoya, who Harvey is totally head over heels obsessed with. In the City he transferred some of that obsession onto Matt, because he likes cops/lawyers I guess, but sometimes he gets all depressed because he thinks Matt DOESN'T UNDERSTAAAAAAAAAAAND the way he thought he did but he still wants him to... Harvey slept with Zatanna during everyone's alignment switch and Harvey at least may be harboring totally awkward feelings over that because he's a big romantic baby, but he tries not to think about it. And Two-Face thinks Callie Maggotbone is a total dish.

ANDY BERNARD has a mess of a love life! I think he only had maybe one serious girlfriend in high school or college, and then he lived for three years with a dominatrix which... I don't think he was dating her, but they definitely slept together occasionally. He had a very mild crush on his coworker Karen Filipelli and then he flirted with Pam upon first meeting her (awkward) and then dated and was engaged to his coworker Angela for a year before he found out she was cheating on him! And then he crushed on his coworker Erin for a million years and dated her super briefly, then they broke up and he was still into her, and then got another girlfriend named Jessica who we only just met in the Christmas episode. Yay. THEN IN THE CITY uh. He flirted with a bunch of people when he first got here but began dating Harley Quinn and they were ridiculous. But then she got ported out. He had weird feelings for Erin too but those will never get cleared up because she is gone now too! All he has left is Katurian who is basically his boyfriend, but isn't. (Tiny violin.)

2/2 OOPS

RA'S AL GHUUUUUUUUUL has slept with hundreds of people. Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds. He had a few wives, the first one (Sora) whose death ~made him what he is today~ and he met Talia's mother at Woodstock (?????) and there was Nyssa's mom... at some point... and he married an aging blonde actress at one point who I guess died or something? And then he dated Black Canary. Briefly. She didn't know it was him somehow. Anyway, he's capable of... a sort of love, but more often than not has sex to procreate! Because he wants heirs. That's why he's about just as interested in Talia's love life as his own if not more... in the City he doesn't know enough people!!

ELECTRO because I wanted to save the messiest for last. Max was married a long time ago but his wife left him for being lazy, and he's had a couple of girlfriends in canon since; one was a prostitute shapeshifter and one was a waitress. Also presumably a lot of casual hook-ups. He's sort of reputed for being pathetic and perverted?? And thinks Spider-Man is hot. Uh. In the City he's very flirty. He hits on a lot of dudes even though he's only ever had sex with a dude once and that was... in prison... so he's mostly does it because he knows they probably won't actually be up for anything because he has a lot of confused dude feelings! But um, hi Parker and Daken. But he's dating the Pro, who is also a prostitute, and was sort of dating Bobbi, who is married to Clint who is in the City now and he also does have a legitimate crush on Parker so. He's a mess of a failed romantic.

[noelleno.livejournal.com]

Jaime has a girlfriend back in-canon pre-reboot by way of Traci 13, but I wouldn't call it "love" so much as "we are teenagers let us make out." They were still in the adjustment/figuring things out stage before all that seemed to vanish more or less under the radar. Idek what he was even doing in Teen Titans but I didn't like it.
But in the City, it was tothecloud, as many of y'all know. He's still carrying that torch. Their relationship was very significant in several ways. :(

Soldier Blue is canonically fixated on Physis, the artificially created girl he rescues from a laboratory 50-some years ago before the show starts. The relationship is painted a lot creepier in the manga iirc, and he does call her "my goddess" in the show, so. Yyyeah. But he's got like no time for romantic shenanigans in sad psychic space. He is much more ~conflicted in the City, where he's bombarded with this stuff all the time, and now and then he can't help but wonder what it'd be like.
But then he remembers oops I'm getting shot and strung up and killed at various points so there's really no point is there.

Zelgadis is shipteased with Amelia like a lot in the anime (and like 0 percent in the novels he's from, huh), but I've seen it way more on the latter's side than the former. He DID have that super-crush on a shrine maiden who turned out to be a dude in disguise that kind of broke his brain, though. And a fish fell in love with him once and tried to get him to run away with her. And a creepy old chef said he looked like his dead wife and definitely took advantage of a CPR opportunity and...yeah...
Considering remarks from the novels and him just being him, Zel had kind of ~sworn off such things only cured people can have~ because he is a moron.
But then Mary Marvel up in here was all rational and NICE and there was definitely a crush going on there. But then she left.
And then Terra started being around a great deal and then crazy Florida makeouts happened which he is still convinced he hallucinated, but it didn't stop his brain from Going There.
And then there was dying and fighting and misery and he eventually buckled and was all DON'T GO I CARE ABOUT YOU A LOT DESPITE ME BEING HIDEOUS AND MADE OF ROCK and then there was dating and more dying and fighting and misery but they're ok right now because he's still post-port-in CURED which makes making out a lot easier.
Due for misery pretty soon.


Steve loves EVERYBODY HOW WONDERFUL IT IS TO BE ORGANIC LALALALAno he has no SOs and he's got the general disposition of a wide-eyed and curious child so romance isn't really on his radar the end
But he will love pretty much anyone who is nice and makes him food at this point because food is so amazing you guys

ARE YOU ALL READY FOR SOME TEENAGE ALIEN ROMANCE DRAMA boy i hope so

Okay so Aradia had an ill-defined Thing with Sollux (gemini troll for calendar man you're welcome). Whether they were dating or moirails (troll platonic soulmates kinda) was left pretty up in the air; Vriska called him her boyfriend but Vriska likes to tease. Aaaaand then Vriska mind-controlled him into blowing up Aradia's home with her in it, and after Aradia got dead she didn't give much of a shit about anyone, so that ended awkwardly.

And then Equius built a robot body for her to posess, but since he had a creepy-ass crush on her he made the robot love him. So she ripped her robot heart out (robots have hearts i guess) and pulverised it on the table and then kinda made out with him a little? At this robot stage she still doesn't give a shit about a whole lot even with emotions back so it's pretty hard to tell what's going on there and whether she likes him or hates him (which is another kind of romance where trolls are concerned) or whether it flips back and forth. TEENAGERS AND FEELINGS, THEY'RE DIFFICULT.

And she'll probs end up with a hatecrush on Julian no matter how hard Kanaya tries to auspiticize. :U

[hellionated]

Tch, Kanaya needs to get out and find her own hatecrush.

[i-seethestrals.livejournal.com]

holding my place.

[ebony-mask.livejournal.com]

Black Mask was almost engaged to an enchanting redheaded model named Circe! Prior to him becoming Black Mask, that is. She provided an alibi (http://i56.tinypic.com/v4at09.jpg) for him to the police when he burned his parents alive and then once he ran his company to the ground, she left him. As he was proposing to her. As you can imagine, he didn't take that well.

He tracked her down, kidnapped her, and threatened her with death or being his queen FOREVER (after he disfigured her face). She stayed with him a disfigured and broken, nearly mute woman who never took off her mask until he burnt his face off and went to Arkham. When he got out again, he tracked her down and essentially forced her back into living with him (he kept her dressed in lingerie and showed her off to his henches, comparing her to a mannequin and professing to like her better this way IT WAS PRETTY CREEPY (http://i43.tinypic.com/1zn69ew.jpg)).

Later down the line she tried to manipulate Two-Face into killing Roman (which failed). Then writers apparently forgot about her or she got out of Gotham for good because Roman never found her again and he took to keeping a mannequin around dressed as her (and also named after her) which he talked to like it was really her.

It was a dark (http://i43.tinypic.com/6jm0dz.jpg) time (http://i42.tinypic.com/1zcmk4l.jpg).

The mannequin got shot in the face and that was the last Circe and the mannequin were ever heard of.

Did he love her? I don't think he's capable of truly caring for anyone but himself. His feelings for her were totally selfish (and she was only with him for his money/status). He was attached to her the way a child is attached to its favorite toy. Given his tendency to obsess, when she left him, it was like his favorite toy had been taken away from him before he'd finishing playing with it and he had to get her back.

He's also a major control freak--he loves being the boss and having people obey him, so having total control over another human being, physically and mentally, was a dream come true and hard to let go of when she disappeared from his (hence the mannequin). It was never explored why he initially hooked up with her beyond her "enchanting" him, but from what little we get of their interactions, it was a pretty shallow connection. He found her physically attractive and superficially charming, then discovered she would lie for him and not object to his ruthless and homicidal ways, all of which he mistook for her genuinely caring about him--something he'd never had and something that inflated his sense of self-importance.

That said, were she to show up again? He'd pick up where he left and try to make her his again.

[enigmaestro.livejournal.com]

Oh Roman. I love how he makes every other fucked up, obsessive relationship in Gotham look practically normal.

A few exceptions apply, of course.

[maggotbone]

Oh here we go~

Callie
In Canon: Besides the obvious promiscuity, Callie has had several relationships. Head canon, I imagined in her childhood she picked on the boys she liked... probably setting them on fire or pushing them into a lava pit. As far as actual relationships go, I imagined she got started pretty early on once she was developed. First with boys her own age, if not a little older (always trying to date seniors when she was in high school), but it's mentioned that her half-blooded status drew a good portion of the full-blooded demons away from her. Even still, in canon it looks like the majority of her exes were all demons-- which is saying something, since she seems to have a problem with the whole barbed penis thing. OH LORD, and I forgot about her whole "Daddy Complex". She is usually immediately attracted to older men.
Her more "serious" boyfriends seemed to have come in all shades and walks of life- one of her first being a carnie, then a poet, a jock, a hipster, a comedian, politicians, businessmen... the list goes on. They all failed for various reasons. None seemed to hold grudges- probably because they were eventually terrified of Callie.
She got involved with her first human working at the DOI, which was Mark Lily. It's apparently his innocent naivete that drew her in. They are constantly off and on, and Callie still needs "special friends" on the side to keep her succubus libido satisfied, but their relationship involves a lot of talking about everything and anything. He's nothing like anyone she's dated before, and her dad haaates him, so it just feeds the fires of her passion even more. It's hinted that she loves him, and that she considers him to be the love of her life.

In the City: Helloooo complicated story number two. Callie is drawn to other imports, since the actual humans/natives in this world are much more dull than she'd want to get involved with. She has had sexual encounters with Tony Stark (good friend, constant lunch date, f-buddy), Floyd Lawton (JUST a booty call. She has a feeling if she tried anything more involved, they'd end up killing each other), took Severus Snape's virginity (he was guarding it so, and she was being a good friend. That, and he's actually pretty attractive to her), and of course there's Sanji. She's been involved with Sanji for almost 8 months now, and is kind of falling for him- which only means rage and resistance on her end.

[viced]

All three go below here!

MITCHELL

[viced]

HAHA, NO.

Okay; long version, Mitch doesn't date. In canon he went on one date and uh. Guys, that was because he was legalizing gay marriage, and didn't want to deal with questions.

UH AS FOR LOVE INTERESTS... Mitchell may have been in love, but never did anything about it, and only admitted it twice, and nothing...came from it and he ended up punched in the face. :c so yeah, relationships are...not his thing at all ever.

In the city? HAHAHA NO....

[caprihorn]

In canon Gamzee had feelings for Tavros. At one point he suggested that he and Tavros should make out, but he never got an answer to that (that we know of).

Later, Tavros died and Gamzee decided that decapitating him and making out with his head was the right thing to do. Tavros' body is probably the only one he did this with, but it might be possible he did the same with a few other bodies.

Gamzee also had pale feelings for Karkat, but those didn't get returned until after he'd murdered two people and went to attack Karkat himself.

In the City Gamzee has had a few hate crushes on people, but not a lot of people since thankfully most of his hate went straight to wanting to murder someone and didn't stop in the romantic area.

That being said Gamzee has been in kismesis and in the matesprit quadrant with Eridan. That has ended now though because Gamzee broke up with him in one quadrant and Eridan dumped him in the other. Gamzee still has feelings for his ex-hatesprit, but they're not likely to be acted on at this point since again the relationship ended and Eridan told Gamzee he was just pretending to have feelings for him, so he's not keen on trusting or taking back his ex right now. For Gamzee to take Eridan back he would have to either become desperately lonely, or have proof that Eridan was lying about pretending to have feelings for him. Even then that'd have to happen before he got involved with someone else.

Gamzee is still involved with Karkat in the City and will be so long as Karkat doesn't drop him in this quadrant.

Annnnd Tavros he still has a lot of feelings for, but he's involved in a quadrant he absolutely doesn't want to be involved with him in right now and he believes Tavros wouldn't want him in another quadrant anyway.

[peanutblooder.livejournal.com]

Tavros has a lot of feels too, they are just all knots right now. :( The realization that your best bro probably wouldn't talk to you/would just kill you if he'd just met you because he doesn't like lowbloods really sucks.

TINY TROLLS, WHY SO COMPLICATED.

[lyingbrat.livejournal.com]

Lyra's one and only love interest in canon is Will Parry, and they love each other so much that their love saved the multiverse and they touched each others daemons- yes this actually happened in canon, no Lyra's not aware that she saved the universe. And then they had to be apart for the rest of their lives. Even in the City, Lyra still keeps her promise to visit Oxford and sit at a certain place, at a specific time, at a specific day.

In the city, besides crushing on Yoite, Lyra really hasn't shown much interest in anyone else.

[meowminx.livejournal.com]

In canon, Selina's slept with quite a few guys, including Stark (probably loved), Slam Bradley (probably didn't love), Sam Bradley Jr. (Slam's son and her baby daddy), Jason Blood (one-night stand), and Bruce/Batman (whom she ~loves~ quite a bit and is the only one she can admit to).

In the City, Selina's had serious relationships with Logan/Wolverine (probably loved), James Bond (maybe kinda probably loved) and the Bruce from her world/time (who conveniently had two bodies for a while).

She also had sex with Guy Gardner on the moon. Just because.

[dupable.livejournal.com]

From John's canon point... no one exactly?

He's flirted with Vriska some, and considered the idea of going on a date with her (later on she asks him out and he accepts), so he's definitely got some interest in her! But they aren't an official thing, and canon doesn't make it clear if he's really into her, or if it's something he's interested in trying out to see if it will go anywhere. It's also hard because Karkat told him once that he was supposed to marry Rose, and John got kind of weirdly stuck on t he idea, bringing it up more times than necessary for a joke, so I think that idea is lingering in the back of his mind too. I DON'T THINK he really knows what to do with girls, and is just trying to wrap his brain around the fact that a girl could even WANT to date him.

THAT SAID, a couple of trolls have at different points had things for him! Though only one of those stick (that whole asking him on a date thing I mentioned).

[olesia]

boop

[olesia]

uh let's see
TERRA doesn't have any canon romantic interests, which is pretty nice considering her character arc is about discovering WHAT LOVE IS (and she finds it in adopting a city of orphans, heck yeah!) Fandom ships her a lot with... well, pretty much everyone, which only got worse when Dissidia came out.

In the City, there's been two! The first was Keith, with the help of some magical jewelry from Aphrodite, but that ended when he kissed her and then immediately tried to kill her! But they are friends now so it's fine. Later she sort of managed to trip her way into dating Zelgadis -- Elle already covered most of it, but basically one of her "I'm not human so how will I ever know what love is like?" depression fests turned into a fight that ended with him going BUT I LOVE YOU DON'T LEAVE 8( and Terra was just like OH and then they were tragic for a while. Then he died and it became slightly less tragic! But that won't last. Suckers.

Right now, she's still convinced that her end of this is in the range of "he's my best friend, I care about him a lot, and I don't want him to be sad (also kissing is nice)" platonic affection/love, not like Hollywood WEDDINGS AND BABIES romance.

It's complicated being a mage.

[butterflydarlin.livejournal.com]

SO.

Willow is with Tara. Willow is in love with Tara. Willow found out what she's gonna do to Tara in the future, and it made her a little sick. She's doing everything she can to avoid that, because she loves Tara so damn much and the idea is really, really not good.

In the long past, she'd been with a couple of guys (Oz, mostly; Xander, a long-standing crush that culminated in the most awkward tiny affair ever). The term "biromantic lesbian," yes. I think her feelings for Xander stemmed from the fact that Xander was one of her absolute only friends for EVER. She connected to him on an emotional level and thought that was connecting to him on a crush level. Oz was the first person who openly said that yeah, he was attracted to her. And she genuinely did love him, I think. But not like she loves Tara.

Kaylee, well. Babygirl is... open with herself. In canon, she has the world's most giant crush on Simon. And it's said in Serenity that, since she's had that crush, she hasn't slept with other random people. Not that it's ever said or entirely matters, but I think she'd pretty much be open to anyone, for a night or two, and beyond that she's never really... well, okay. Here goes some tl;dr.

Kaylee is the kind of girl who hasn't had a real "relationship." She's had plenty of partners, and she's done a little bit of everything. She's good for it. She enjoys sex, and she doesn't see why she shouldn't. And with most people, she's not really shy about it. The revelation of Simon in canon was one of "oh, I think I might want more than just sex with this person. Hm." And that was weird, but not bad-weird. Just different.

Here in the City, she had Simon riiight when she first got here, and now that he's gone? Well, she's all sighfrown "I guess that there's nothing stopping me from enjoying myself. I have needs." So the needs get fulfilled. Yeah.

[trollverine]

In canon, the short answer is no (noonononononoonono), although the fandom will list Bullseye (whom he trolled into oblivion and also kissed in an alternate reality), Johnny Storm (with whom nothing happened at all), and any other guy he's looked at for more than two seconds. There is also Karla (whom he was also just fucking with non-literally), and he went on a date with Mystique while he was manipulating her into doing something that I forget. And there's an FBI agent right now in one of his many Bad Arcs.

In game, he flirts with people like it's his job, but that's primarily so they'll like him and do what he wants them to (if they're useful, por ejemplo Eddie and Electro), or just to be a troll, if it would make them annoyed or uncomfortable.

He does have kind of a minor fascination with Selina (RUN) that does not have to do with either of those. Yet.

[bullseye]

[anagrammatist]

Tom Riddle should not even be included oh my god. Love is meaningless to him, and he has better things to do than bother with it. He will flirt with people on occasion, but it's only to manipulate them. He doesn't really do relationships.


Kiryu on the other hand...Kiryu's been interested in quite a few people, both in the City and in canon (although that one's purely headcanon because let's face it, it's a YGO series and he's not the main character or main best friend). And I am not going to list them all, because it really has been quite a few and most were fleeting, and the only important ones are Saitou and Alastair.

Saitou he definitely had and has feelings for, but he will never, ever acknowledge that's what it is, because Saitou is married and Alastair's around. He fleetingly thought about it once, went NOPE, and continued on his merry way.

Alastair is his boyfriend, they've been together almost a year and a half now, with a brief couple month period some time before that. And he is definitely in love with Alastair, although it took Alastair porting out for him to realize it, so unless something even more drastic than his update happens, I don't see that changing.

[brevipennate.livejournal.com]

gemma is hurt that their date was meaningless 8(

[screwedupeyes.livejournal.com]

Weee. Ok, let's see here.
There are no official, specific canon relationships for Ziggy, unless you count his on stage antics with guitarist Mick Ronson as evidence, which I sort of do. I factor that into headcanon
In my extended headcanon, Ziggy had a serious romance with a girl named Hermione, who he lived with when he first came to earth. He lived with her a while and she was the first to know what he really is. She supported the start of his musical career, but his promiscuity and devotion to his career and fans over all else eventually split them up.
When the full Spiders from Mars came together, he quickly fell for his guitarist, Ronno, due to the man's talent (the biggest aphrodisiac for Ziggy). However, it's never gotten very serious because --again-- of the strain Ziggy's 'open love' policies put on things. He can't devote himself to one person. At all.
He falls in love several times a day. The right smile, the sound of a laugh, the way someone walks, and especially a good performance will all have Ziggy fully smitten. He'll sleep with anyone that interests him, and love them completely during the act, but afterwards he might just as easily fall in love with the next person he sees and leave the last feeling abandoned. He also just likes sex and sexuality too much to limit it to just times where it 'means something'. He frequents strip clubs and whore houses for 'quick fixes' when he doesn't feel like complicating his needs with emotional ties and potential repercussions.

He'd like to find someone in the city to at least be a reliable booty call, and he's met a few that he finds very enticing. However, he still hasn't gotten his footing well enough to feel comfortable pursuing anything yet..especially with his new powers and how uncomfortable he still is with that.

[bullseye]

I wasn't going to do this for Bullseye because essentially it's NOPE HE ONLY LOVES KILLING AND HE HATES EVERYONE

BUT it is worthwhile to note he has been shown a few times in canon having sex (sup Karla), as well as mentioned having no problem getting women, and he even "liberated" this bored socialite woman once while dressed as Daredevil whom he kept in his safehouse and had sex with. She later wrote to the tabloids complaining about how he was shitty in bed, which is totally unsurprising coming from someone as self-obsessed as he is.

[curses]

oh gosh okay.

bella's married to a non-existent person named rodolphus lestrange in canon. well, he exists, but we don't know anything about him? though i do have my (rather extensive) head canon about him. her one true love is voldemort, heh. well more obsession, really. a very unhealthy and very creepy obsession.

in the city she's currently ~dating~ norman. or whatever they are. she's enjoying it but kind of dreading certain people finding out about them.

[totallyrhombus.livejournal.com]

DRACO I don't think's ever been in love. He had a girlfriend for a time in Pansy, but I think that was more of he's the popular boy, she's the popular girl, it's expected of them. More of a pride thing than affection really, definitely not love. It ended when he pushed everything out of his life when trying to be the fail assassin he was.

In city nothing yet. There's people he finds attractive or somewhat interesting, but no one he wants to be romantically involved in as of yet.

FINN He love Princess Bubblegum. /BLUSH
He wants to hold her hand!!
He kissed her once when she was the same age as him!!
Now he just moons after her and creepily pets a wad of her hair.
He has many suitors (I guess you can say) but none are Peebles.
In city he sort of wants to hold hands with Terezi. /blush
She's super cool and fun, shut up.

[brevipennate.livejournal.com]

draco wants to marry zee

[gevurah]

Well, in canon Kate participates in Gotham's party scene and flirts with other women or even picks them up for the night. While she was at USMA, she was in a relationship with another student named Sophie Moore. We only see them briefly together but we can assume they were in a stable relationship. When Kate was discharged, she most likely stopped communicating with Sophie.

She also dated Renee Montoya, whom she met like this heh. Renee was most definitely her first real love but I don't agree that Renee is her one true love, or that Kate even has one at the time being. This is an unpopular opinion, apparently. Anyway, they were pretty serious but after a fight they broke it off, then years later there was some reconciling but THEY FOUGHT AGAIN. This still hurts Kate from time to time. Secretly.

Then she was seeing a lawyer named Anna for a very brief period. Anna's exhaustion and attitude towards Kate hints that this relationship probably sucked on the emotional front because Kate wasn't "serious" about it.

Then she meets Maggie Sawyer and they are currently seeing each other in the DCnU. Kate seems pretty serious about her SO.

In the City Kate is foreveralone.jpg. She made out with Felicia (RIGHT GABBIE??) and that's about it.

Whoops I'm forgetting she flirted with Shulkie but that will never go anywhere. She also flirts with Carol a bit!! Kate loves the Marvel ladies.

I do like Kate and Renee, but I have to say I agree. I don't think they'd be good together as a Forever Pairing, y'know?

UH Midnighter: If he ever had relationships before Apollo, he doesn't remember them because of the memory wipe, but he doesn't feel like he's missed any opportunities. He's pretty much never going to love anyone as much as he loves his husband, BUT. He does occasionally (not terribly often, but still) feel attracted to other guys, especially in the City. You know, because he hasn't gotten laid in months. It is terrible, you guys. TERRIBLE. Otherwise, if they're not blond sun gods with bright blue eyes and all the muscles COUGH SENTRY, he's really, really into like... extremely dangerous or forceful guys, especially if the combat computer in his head doesn't think they're going to be dangerous to him.

He kinda has a tendency to get turned on watching someone he's attracted to beat other people to death U H

Billy: Has had a lot of puppy love crushes over the years but a lot of them are on grown women who have only seen him when he looks 30 so that doesn't go anywhere because CREEPY OTHERWISE. There was that weird JSA arc where he was aged up a couple years to date Stargirl and promptly aged back down after and it was never talked about again because obvs it's illegal for girls to date boys younger than them. UH he really doesn't interact with kids his own age much, mostly because he is a HUGE DWEEB and spends all his free time after school heroing, so he's never been popular.

Deadpool: OH GOD, DEADPOOL. Welp, his most serious relationship to date would be with Copycat, who he would have married if he hadn't gotten diagnosed with Super Duper Cancer. Yeah, he dated her before the CRAY CRAY set in. And after, too! Luckily, she turned out to be nearly as fucked in the head as he was after developing her powers. Small world, am I right?

There was a brief thing with Typhoid Mary, which was Not Good, and he had a huge crush on Siryn, which was never quite returned on her part.

Then there's Marvel's Death, yes Death, whom Deadpool has affairs with every time he dies if he's out long enough before coming back. She would be his One True Love if he were really capable of that, but as is she's the main reason that every now and again Deadpool will lapse into extremely suicidal states. He just wants some sweet skeletal nookie, y'all.

Uh but he's also really into every woman ever especially in the City, and (though he'll unconvincingly deny it) all the buff dudes. AND THE PORTER.

Jason's only canon... Idk if I'd call her a love interest is Talia al Ghul. They slept together once, when he was like 17 or 18. Holy poor life decisions, Batman.

Fandom likes to pair him off with everyone ever in the Batfam, but that's not super usual for Batfam characters. They are apparently shippable with everyone. More recently, he gets paired off with Roy Harper and Koriand'r, which I kind of like. Ngl, they are becoming my bromance with benefits OT3.

There's also Scarlet, which I dig in the way of her having a RED HOOD IS COOL older brother type crush? But not in any requited or sexual way.

In the City, he's not!dating Jessica Wakefield. I say not dating because she shows up at his apartment and he makes shitty life decisions but he'd never actually define it as such.

Doom is Valeria-sexual until the end of time.

Aoi is practically a computer and doesn't understand sex so hot.

Stephen is kind of a manwhore. He was quite the womanizer in college and med school. He had numerous unnamed chicks around then, and most, if not all of his relationships were vapid and pointless. He was engaged to a UN translator in his early medical career, which is pretty much the only time he's shown being an okay person prior to the whole magic thing. She left him because he was terrible though, it was very Ebeneezer Scrooge.

Post-magic-thing, he's been on again off again with Clea for forever. She's probably the most serious and they exchanged rings in a pseudo-pan-dimensional marriage-thing. Prior to that there was Victoria Bentley, who totally had the hots for him and he totally macked on her once and then ignored her. He's also dated Morgana Blessing and pretty much hit on every female student he ever had. It was classy.

In his ideal universe he likes to wake up in bed with Clea and the Scarlet Witch, but then... Who doesn't, really.

He is currently sometimes dating Linda Carter. She's been the only woman post-Clea who's really been allowed to stay at the Sanctum Sanctorum. It was a big deal.

Fandom seems to ship him with Carol Danvers, which... I don't think is terrible? I'm just not really sure where that came from. But stranger things have happened.

In game, he macks on Zatanna and Callie Maggotbone, but very little is actually happening there. Can't blame him for trying though.

Pietro's first girlfriend was Crystal of the Inhumans. He married her. He went crazy for the first time in the mid-70s and basically cried that she "stole his purity". It was the most mature thing ever. He really doesn't have any other canon romantic interests, though. Following a more recent bout of crazy and drug abuse in the Silent War plotline, Crystal finally got their marriage annulled after years of them... Not really being a thing.

In the City, he's married to Angelica Jones and couldn't be happier unless there were babies.

[bringerofwar]

heh heh stranger things

I see what you did there

[soulbonder]

Astral.
Relationship.

HAHAHA.

This is not the case at all! Not in canon or in the City. He does have a bunch of crushes though, on Kaito, Shark, Obomi and Anna. And crushes I mean... yeah. Actually they're crushes. But Kaito also terrifies him and Obomi is a robot and the other two can't see him!!!!

no blushing here my friends

He doesn't understand human love anyway so really, he's never going to get into anything here or in canon.

But he's fucking cute with Kotori.
Damn.

[olesia]

only because they can bond over mutually insulting yuma despite the fact kotori can't actually hear how astral is insulting him
