What, you think Trigon wears undies underneath the loincloth?

(He's not wearing his boots because he's in bed and keeping your shoes on in bed is gross. He is a tasteful and decent being.)

I mean we got a small appearance of her in Absolute Superman issue 20 but I just wanna be sure it is 100% confirmed to be her

And how would her story be altered her dark side and connection to Trigon completely altered? How would she be rewritten?

Now I believe raven would never wanna have kids in main continuity at least in a natural way due to what happened between her own parents and ofc what her father is. George perez himself stated raven viewed sex as rape so yeah….but I also believe if it was to happen one way or another like with wyld where he spawned via Raven reality warping on accident. I think she would try her absolute best to be their mother and to care and nurture them. Again take wyld for example, she knew he was made from the pure evil in her soul and she still tried to fight for it, still tried to protect it, tried to make them good so wyld could exist.

I also wanted to speak on elseworlds I think its perfectly fine for Raven to have children in different universes infact I really hope she does. We push for Raven to be this mature adult so let her be an adult and im more than aware not all adult have children nor want children but I still would love an elseworld where shes comfortable enough to have them.

The way he’s standing over her with her legs spread 💀

Since it seems all but confirmed that Raven really has made her debut in the Absolute universe, do you have a theory about what this version of Raven will be like? In particular, do you think that the woman from #18 is Raven, or is she a different character?

This story made me think about Raven and dancing.

I’m actually surprised this isn’t explored more often as something she does with her free time. I feel like it makes so much sense for her to dance, as a form of expression or even communication, as an empath. Maybe it could be an additional thing she could do, to decompress, as an addition or alternative to meditation?

This is something Wolfman kind of touches on in NTT #35 (1987) where Raven moves into her first apartment and it’s on Broadway so she can hear the theatrical productions around her and they have some influence on her emotions and therefore her empathic power. I love that she even says that she has made some friends with dancers! 

I thought this story, “The Dead Can Dance” (ok, was this title a reference to the band because I can definitely see that vibe here), was really quite touching, though this is a random spirit, and the prom aspect feels a bit like the movie Casper. I'd love to see more contexts for her dancing and using that for emotional connection.

Thoughts on Raven healing spirits and/or taking a dancing class?
