There was a little interview with George Perez where he said he liked how Garth was sexy and Mediterranean looking, and showed off his muscular legs. This was an interview from the 80s I found, but lost 😩 like he PURPOSELY drew Garth sexy.... whew.

TitansTower used to have it, looks like the site is no longer up! It's an interview of George Perez by Andy Mangels in 1987

Lucky for YOU, I saved that part! He doesn't just say he's Mediterranean, he also says he based Garth's looks off of an ex-girlfriend.

Garth is the prettiest of the OGs confirmed.

I do like that he leaned into the curly hair (he's had that since the Silver Age tbh) because it really did make his character stand out when they aren't in costumes. I know pretty much every comic character lost their curly hair by the 90s, but I really miss Garth's

From the other post I said, Korekiyo does help Gonta improve the way he speaks. Once in a while, they practice to expand Gonta’s vocabulary. Korekiyo enjoys seeing his progress, but sometimes he misses the way Gonta used to talk. 

Korekiyo wanted to add insect exhibit frames around the house (since he knows Gonta loves bugs and wants him to see them even at home.) At first Gonta kind of panicked about it since he thought they were dead. Now insect study prints hang on some of the walls, around the house. 

There’s a reflection between them. Korekiyo has mainly been in his sister’s hospital room visiting her, you know how small those room are sometimes. It’s him being stuck with the weight of his sister constantly around him. While Gonta was just being a kid, being free in the forest away from society, doing whatever he wanted (I guess?). It really balances everything out.  

Korekiyo is nearly underweight for his height, and of course with his sick covering half of his face, we know he’s sick (And the fact he hates Air Conditioners.) Gonta tries his best to remind Korekiyo to eat, cooks with/for him, and take walks in the morning or when they have the time. (Korekiyo also does his side of the job too, one person shouldn’t be doing all the work!) This also gives Korekiyo a chance to heal, rather than end up sick and dead like his sister. *cough* *cough* 

(A story in my head) Kokichi takes Gonta’s glasses and accidentally breaks them. Korekiyo hears about this and decides to buy new glasses for Gonta. The glasses are circle, with gold frames, and cute bug/leaf decorations on the lenses (Reference /Yes those glasses are most likely for fashion BUT I THINK THEY’RE ADORABLE!!!) Gonta adores them, and thanks Korekiyo. 

Korekiyo likes hugging/holding hands with Gonta. He’s like a big, warm marshmallow (Get it? Big Hero 6 reference.) 

Gonta likes how calm Korekiyo (and his voice) is most of the time.

Imagine them, laying against each other on a couch, wrapped around by a blanket in front of a chimney with fire. Holding hot drinks in their hands, while snuggling up. They try knitting together, or recite their favorite books to each other. 

Even though they both like receiving affection from each other, Gonta likes it more. He just asks Korekiyo for a couple of kisses, Korekiyo does so, and he just gets flustered up! 

They both enjoy walking in the woods together, Gonta can go on about certain types of bugs that live in them while remembering his childhood. Korekiyo can talk about how forests are important for humans, and the relationship between them over the centuries. He can also explain how forests help and provide protection to bugs too!

Additionally: Korekiyo is usually tired, and likes to rest on Gonta’s shoulder. Gotta just wraps his arm around him when this happens.

(I’m mad that there wasn’t enough spacing between each line 🙂.)

I want an AU where Gambit and Wolverine get married and raise Laura and Jubilee together…… Remy’d be the cool dad who teaches ya card tricks and let’s ya stay up to watch violent movies sometimes. And Logan would be the dad who tells ya to go the fuck to sleep cause ya got school in the morning…but then tucks ya in and tells ya a story that’s cooler then the violent movie anyway. I could keep going but I’ll stop cause this is already completely ridiculous~

Can you tell us about Garth’s personality? Like what do you wish writers would remember and do or stop doing for him?

Absolutely! I'll try to keep it short... Generally speaking, Garth is very sensitive and open about his emotions. All of his character development revolves around love and loss, and the merging of the two.

As Aqualad, he's more timid and more self conscious, but he has a strong sense of justice and a very strong sense of loyalty as well. His role as Tempest is distinctly marked with him having a major confidence boost, so he speaks his mind more as he gets older and takes on more leadership roles, which he is really suited for because he's (mostly!) level-headed. When he's not being level-headed, it's because he's super passionate about something (usually love related, again)

He doesn't really have a dominant personality, which is why he's a really good supporting cast member. He's not a very serious character, so he can either bring light to a stoic character or bring more chaotic characters back down to Earth. the range!

What I really like about him is Garth is truly, genuinely, nice. He's someone who isn't afraid to join a fight, but also understands that words can be more powerful and violence is not always the right answer. He also specifically doesn't want to kill anyone. He gains his magic powers specifically because his heart is pure and free from spite or malice, and is able to overcome villains because of that love and kindness inside him.

Not to be negative, but I hate everything about his current characterization. Just throw the whole man out tbh. I find him really flat and uninteresting, and I can't even blame it totally on the writers not having any of the previous backstory and development to build off of. I think they just don't care.

Current Garth seems very aggressive and enthusiastic to fight, but also...idk, just very generic otherwise. which is not only boring (oh wow, the strong guy wants to punch things. original!) but really out of character based on previous canon. It just feels uninspired. Also I'm a little offended that not a single person involved in those comics bothered to look up what he was supposed to look like ghdskjghdfj

Also Garth/Atlanteans in general being pretentious is annoying. I think that comes from the Teen Titans show (where he is specifically written to be Beast Boy's foil, so he comes off as very cool and level-headed because Beast Boy is....not that) and then nobody bothered to do anything else for some reason.

The writers have to remember that Garth's strength (literally and figuratively) come from his heart, not his muscles, and that if you want to write a character who is defined by his love, you have to actually develop those stories about love.
