{{Fanon}} that applies to the 2003 ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'' animated series.
----

* Commonplace fanon's for Starfire:
** A lot of fanfiction has Starfire referring to all her friends as "Friend *insert name here*" despite her never having that particular VerbalTic in the show.
*** The source of the VerbalTic is actually from the ending of "Aftershock Part 2", where Starfire places flowers next to Terra's statue and says, "I shall miss you friend", that evolved into the VerbalTic used in fanfiction.
** Starfire's starbolts and energy projection are the results of experiments done on her by the Gordonians. This comes from the comics, but due to changes in her backstory, it's unknown if it also applies to the cartoon or if she naturally has those powers.
** Starfire's naivety often gets [[CharacterExaggeration exaggerated]] in fan-works.
** Starfire's RapeAsBackstory from the comics was removed in the cartoon. Despite this, it commonly appears in fanworks that go into her past. She's also frequently depicted as a slave, however, in the canon of the cartoons, it's shown that she escaped captivity in route to that destination.
** Works set after TheMovie has Starfire on a FirstNameBasis with Robin (often with her calling him "Richard" instead of the diminutive "Dick"). Robin, in turn, calls her "Kori/Kory" (a shortening of her non-translated name, "Koriand'r").
** Robin and Starfire will end up married. They also have a daughter named "Mar'i Grayson". This is due to them having Mar'i in ''ComicBook/KingdomCome''. Sometimes they also have a son named "Jacob Grayson" (or "Jake" for short), which comes from ''ComicBook/NightwingTheNewOrder''.
* The fandom agrees that Jump City - where the show is set - is in California. This was semi-confirmed in a promo video which advertised the third season and made the rounds at conventions in 2004, which previewed the "Titans East" storyline by showing a map of the US that had the main team located in California, while the East team appeared to be in New York. The map never showed up on the show itself, though.
* Robin is apparently an insomniac. Considering how obsessive he can get when hunting criminals, it's not too much of a stretch.
* There is quite a bit of fanon about Raven:
** Raven has a HairTriggerTemper.
** Raven often responds to aggravation with bodily harm (the "throwing Beast Boy out of a window" bit is especially ubiquitous).
** Raven can't smile, and in some cases, show ''any'' emotion except for the aforementioned temper without her powers going out of control. While she was TheStoic in the original comics, in the cartoon she shows a good range of emotion, with the issue instead of being ''excessive'' displays of emotion, or trying to repress her emotions entirely. Basically, if she's just smiling or laughing (which she has done numerous times) without throwing in some jumping for joy, she won't be blowing things up by accident any time soon.
** In fan-works, religious symbols harm her due to being half-demon. She ''has'' been shown in a church without issue, implying that this isn't true. This has been Jossed by the mainstream Raven miniseries by Creator/MarvWolfman her creator as Raven is shown going to Christmas Mass with her aunt, uncle, nieces and nephew completely unaffected by Catholic symbols.
** Raven is associated with a whole plethora of cliche {{Goth}} tropes that are all taken as fact by the fanbase or fanfic writers, despite no real proof from the show itself.
** ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansTroubleInTokyo'' had the fans assuming Raven was so violent toward Beast Boy during the event of the film because she was in her period, which is... yeah.
** Due to the prevalence of the DangerousSixteenthBirthday trope, fan theory assumes that Raven was fifteen at the start of the series and turned sixteen in her BirthdayEpisode. Generally, she is 16-18 by the last season.
** Raven was ready to [[DrivenToSuicide kill herself]] in order to [[spoiler:stop Trigon from using her as a portal]]. Alternatively, she ''couldn't'' die or [[spoiler:Trigon would automatically win.]]
** If Raven calls characters by their [[FirstNameBasis names]] she always uses their full names ("Richard" not "Dick", "Garfield" not "Gar", "Victor" not "Vic", etc), which is taken from the original comics.
** Due to a misunderstanding from the comics, many fans believe that Raven's "real name" is Rachel Roth. Her name ''is'' Raven. [[OnlyOneName Just "Raven"]]. "Rachel" is a made-up name she uses as a civilian in the original comics. Her mother's surname is "Roth", but Raven rarely uses it.
** In more [[{{Lemon}} naughty stories]], intimacy with Raven almost ''always'' results in DestructoNookie because she'll have bouts of [[PowerIncontinence losing control of her emotions]] during sex. At least one piece of furniture will be telekinetically destroyed.
* Fans almost always write Bumblebee as having feelings for Cyborg and Beast Boy secretly liking Raven (or the other way around if the writer ships Beast Boy and Terra). WordOfGod is that both relationships are platonic in canon, though the Pre-Flashpoint ''Titans'' comic books and the ''Teen Titans Go!'' cartoon have embraced the idea of Beast Boy and Raven having a thing for one another.
* It is very common for the fans to assume that ''Teen Titans'' is part of the Franchise/DCAnimatedUniverse and, as a result, it is quite common for ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' characters such as Batman, Superman and their RoguesGallery to make an appearance. However, ''Teen Titans'' is indeed one of the few DC animated series from the time period to take place outside that continuity; some of the confusion may stem from the characters being alluded to in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/StaticShock'', with that show having an awkward relationship to the DCAU canon (being {{retcon}}ned into it halfway through its run). Ignoring that, Robin's character is also in complete contrast to his DCAU persona (many of these fans also mistake Robin for ''The New Batman Adventures'''s Tim Drake, rather than Dick Grayson).
* In his comics origin, Beast Boy spent much of his young childhood in Africa with his parents. This has caused the fanon that English is his second language.
* HandicappedBadass Blackfire appears often in fanworks that deal with her. This is due to the fact she has a FictionalDisability in the comics — she can't fly like others of her kind can. To give Blackfire more depth and to give her a FreudianExcuse, fanon has her being [[BullyingTheDisabled ostracized and belittled due to her disability]], which caused her to revolt and become villainous.
* The reason why Blackfire speaks English so fluently is that she's kissed more English-speakers than Starfire.
* Beast Boy and Starfire are the {{Token Religious Teammate}}s on the team, with Beast Boy being Christian and Starfire worshipping X'hal. Robin is usually pinned as an atheist (Although in the older comics, Nightwing is implied to be a non-practicing Catholic).
* Slade as a DepravedBisexual. His relationship with Terra is also brought back, though usually less dubiously consensual than in the comics thanks to their differing personalities.
* Barbara Gordon is either Robin's {{Childhood Friend|s}} or his ex-girlfriend.
* Kid Flash and Robin know each other, if only by their superhero alias. This is due to them being close friends dating back to the original ''Teen Titans''.
* Speedy and Cheshire have some slight ShipTease in the cartoon as a MythologyGag to their relationship in the comics. Fans usually depict them as [[DatingCatwoman becoming a couple]] eventually.
* Speedy either uses heroin or used to. This references his drug addiction from the comics.
* Cyborg is eighteen, thus explaining why the Titans need no adult supervision (since at least one of them is legally an adult). This is AscendedFanon in ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo''.
* It's explained in the comics that Tamaranians can learn languages through any sort of skinship contact, but that Starfire just prefers kissing. The cartoon seems to have kissing as the only way, however, some still think of the comic version as canon in order to explain [[AliensSpeakingEnglish why every Tamaranian but Starfire speaks English]].
* The girl in "Things Change" is named Tara, which is Terra's real name. Whether fans believe she's Terra with amnesia, Terra faking amnesia, Terra's clone, Terra's twin, or whatever, she's usually referred to as "Tara".
* Jinx is Indian but has an EthnicityObscuringMutation. This is because she's an Indian woman in the original comics.
* Jinx's powers led to the [[ParentalAbandonment death of her parents]] (or, at minimum, her [[MissingMom mother]]).
