Hello, welcome to Incorrect Fab Fifteen, a blog about all things Silver Age Teen Titans! I've come up with the term Fab Fifteen to broadly refer to all of the members (which I'll explain below) as well as a natural expansion of the Fab Five (plus, it's better than just calling them the OG Teen Titans or the 70s Team).

For DC newcomers, don't be afraid of some of the comic terminology present, they'll make sense with more exposure.

So a special note: despite Beast Boy being a part of the Titans West (as well as appearing in the above photograph), they do not count as part of the Fab Fifteen, mainly because he's already part of the New Teen Titans. Also note that this acc won't be using the New 52 version of Duela Dent (although the Gotham Knights version is fine so feel free to send in any hcs about her)

Also you maybe be asking why Gnarrk's entry is below instead of with everybody else. That's because Gnarrk was never a Titan in the first place. Sure, he appeared as part of the title and was there when the Titans West was formed but he never actually joined the team at all. Gnarrk becoming a Titan became a thing when he was introduced following the New 52.

Uhh, yeah, so that's the Fab Fifteen! Again, don't worry about this technical jargon if you're a newcomer and you just wanna look at the other posts, we're all here to have fun.

Bette: You're the love of my life and my best friend, I would do anything for you. Lilith: I want you to eat three meals a day and have a decent sleep schedule. Bette: Absolutely not.

[incorrectfabfifteen]

Duela: Don’t worry, I have a few knives up my sleeve. Bette: I think you mean cards. Duela, pulling knives out of their sleeves: No, I do not.

[incorrectfabfifteen]

Garth: You know, I've always wondered: Why do you wear a pitch black robe as your outfit? Lilith: Lilith: Garth, it's green. Garth: Oh...

[incorrectfabfifteen]

Dawn, about Hank: Can I tell them they look nice? Bette: Sure. Dawn: Can I tell them I respect them? Bette: Maybe, if they ask. Dawn: Should I show them an oil painting I made of us surrounded by our three cats and four dogs? Bette: … Bette: I’d save that for later.

so a while ago a made a post calling garth lancelot and have had a couple people thinking i was joking, which is–fair, actually, seeing as it was a jokey post, but like. no. no, you don’t understand. i’m not even remotely joking about this, and i’m not exaggerating in any way when i tell you garth’s origin is a straight up lancelot retelling.

in Lanzelet, lancelot’s father was a king ousted by his own people for his harshness. he manages to escape with his queen, “who carried nothing but their little child,” but the king’s wounds prove fatal, and he dies, leaving the queen alone.

this is already INCREDIBLY similar to the story of garth’s parents

and then! a “water fairy” comes and snatches up baby lancelot and steals him off to “her land”

the “du Lac” in Lancelot du Lac means “of/from the lake.” because lancelot was raised… in a lake. like literally. in a lake. as in he was raised underwater. by merpeople.

this is one of my favorite things about him because it’s just so weird, and it’s also a big part of the reason i’m so partial to the version of garth’s backstory we’re given in Tempest.

there’s just something so endearing about the problem of “how do you make a guy growing up underwater significant in a world where EVERYBODY grows up underwater?” being solved with “well, you make it so he grew up THE MOST underwater! you make it so he grew up in the OCEANIEST part of the ocean!”

instead of being stolen from his mother by a mer-feine and taken under the water, garth is stolen from his mother by atlanteans and taken to a deeper part of the sea.

Bette: Happy Juneteenth! I didn't know whether to make a normal chocolate cake or a white chocolate cake so I just made caramel! Karen: Bette, it's Wednesday. Bette: And? Karen: Juneteenth is tomorrow Bette: Oh...

Bette: If I was married to you I would put poison in your coffee. Duela: If I was married to you I’d drink it.

Lilith: I haven't seen Duela and Bette for fifteen minutes now. *Outside a nearby window, a car without a driver inside is seen rolling down a driveway, with Duela and Bette running after it in a panic. Lilith doesn't look outside at all.* Lilith: That probably means they're getting into trouble.

[incorrectfabfifteen]

Dick: Gatekeep, girlboss, and what's the other one again? Bette: There isn't another one. You're crazy.

[incorrectfabfifteen]

Dick: Can I have some water? Bette: *starts chugging their water bottle* Bette: *chokes from drinking too fast* Bette: *spills water all over themself* Bette, coughing: I don't have any water.

Bette: Remember that time you dared me to lick a swingset? Dick: No, I said "Bette, don't lick that swingset" and you said "Don't tell me what to do" and licked the swingset.

[incorrectfabfifteen]

*Following the events of Armageddon 2001* Dawn: You know you don't have to keep checking up on me right? I'm doing just fine without Hank. Bette: Do you see anybody else checking up on you? Dawn: Yeah, well nobody is checking me with an offer to do a six hour hike. Bette: Come on, it's good for your slender calves Dawn:*in a whisper* What's wrong with my calves?

[incorrectfabfifteen]

Lilith: Why are you late? Bette: A technical error occurred, causing an unexpectedly long bout of unconsciousness. Lilith: Overslept? Bette: Overslept.

[incorrectfabfifteen]

Kidnapper: I have one of your friends. Lilith: Which one? I have seven. Kidnapper: The loud, annoying, rowdy one who never shuts up. Lilith: Which one? I have seven. Bette, distantly: HEY!!!

Bette: I’ve made a spread sheet of all the crime in Blüdhaven. Bette: There’s so much crime on the East Coast, no one should live here.

I love the issue in tt 66 where our heroes go to london and they fight the mad mod again and dick is locked inside the tower of london and none of the titans notice and just outright forget about him

Dick: I WAS LOCKED IN THERE.. four 40 HOURS!!

Donna: oh come on boy wonder it'll be ok!

Dick: no not ok.. it was the worst experience of my life

Wally: we need to cheer him up

Garth: we need to do something to cheer him up

*moments later they give dick a nice little i heart london sticker with the tower of london on it*

Dick: ....i hate london
