Good stuff.

Do you ship Dick with Barbara or with Starfire? I don't know, but I never really thought that Kory and Dick made a perfect match. (don't hate me pls)

well, i’m going to start off by saying that it’s hard for me to hardcore ship any dc couple that was birthed in earlier decades, just because the characters are rebooted so often and then they change and relationship dynamics change because different writers write them. 

and i get that in the dcu, dick and kory can’t work out because dick belongs in the bat!verse and kory just doesn’t. i actually remember reading somewhere that the reason dick and kory were broken up was because there was conflict regarding that issue: new teen titans writers wanted dick and kory to get married, but the batman comic editors wanted dick back in gotham. so yeah, in this sense, barbara definitely is better for dick because she’s batgirl (or oracle now). 

with that said, i still ship dick and kory (over dick and babs) but not half as intensely as i ship them in the toon!verse. i just like them together and i think what they had in the new teen titans comics was raw and they were good for each other. on top of that, dick’s relationship with kory was very formative to his own character development (kory helped dick grow as a person and stray away from becoming like bruce). ironically, i think dick grew apart from kory as he started getting older so yeah, they’re not perfect for each other (then again, no couple is perfect) and i’m not sure whether or not i still really ship them in the current dcu.

regardless, back when i was involved in comics and surrounded by fandom wank in all directions, i got seriously annoyed by anyone who tried to downplay dick/kory as either a “fling” or built up on sexual tension alone. because they were in love, they were each other’s first loves. from what i know, kory still loves him. part of being each other’s first interests is that it’s all very innocent and what they have is a somewhat naive romance: a relationship where they put their all in to each other. it’s incredibly sweet and that’s one of the biggest reasons why i liked them so much.
