Gavin: Are you stealing from me again?
Nines: No….
Gavin: First my heart.
Nines: …
Gavin: Then my hoodies.
Nines: …
Gavin: What next? My surname?
While I definitely agree, there are times as well they have been encased in lightning while being suspended or simply not moving at superspeed, like a precursor to their powers. I don’t think it’s so much as a friction thing versus the Speedforce giving them this sort of barrier like a thin protective shield that can be transferred through touch (and that’s why they can carry people without them getting burned or shredded by the velocity). Since the speedforce is sentient it simply knows when to raise or lower that energy shield.
Now onto transport; while it’s true no HUMAN devices could withstand the full force of the Sun, there are friends on Earth that can get him there AND withstand the sun as well. For one, Kon, Jon, or Clark; kryptonians are sun children! they can fly him there and even give him kryptonian tech/suit for breathing purposes since it seems all their shrap was also built to withstand it. Option two! Apollo, aka Midnighters husband. One call to Tim like “hey can your gay uncles hubby yeet me into the sun? For science.” Tim literally caves to every single one of Bart’s requests (for “unknown” reasons, I mean cmon he just asks and Tim let him fly the batjet)
I rest my case, your honour. Any rebuttals?
So if Speedsters can surround themselves and handle lightning just fine when they throw it and stuff, and lightning is 5 times hotter than the sun, theoretically a speedster should be able to survive on the sun. I’m Bart, and in this Ted talk-
Y'all ain't prepared for how many nicknames I have for Timbers.
Tim Drake.
New headcanon that Jason and Bart flirt with each other over coms like how Derek and Garcia from criminal minds talk over the phone.
Bart: You’ve reached the line of ‘saving your souls’. How can I help you today.
Jason: Hey, Angel, need you to track (random specific stuff) for me.
Bart: Do I get a reward if I do, hot stuff?
Better yet would be the absolute mortification of everyone else on the line and they would find it so funny.
Jason: You’re on speaker so behave.
Bart: or what? You’ll spank me?
Tim, bashing his forehead into the batdesk:
-
Jason, looking Bart up and down: ‘Afternoon, gorgeous.
Bart: I have pretty eyes or beautiful thighs, only pick one to stare at at a time.
Dick: … I- I’ll just leave you two be.
-
Jason: Imp, angel, tell me something I wanna hear.
Bart: you’re a statuesque God chiselled of beefy marble.
Jason: … something I don’t know.
Damian, slowly unsheathing his katana and plotting murder: Tell us about the case, you abomination.
So, while I agree with you that the fandom often writes Bart a tad bit to extremely ooc, I don't think using his early days in the Impulse comics is a good indicator of this. He went through a lot of character growth just in those comics alone, not to mention in the 2003 Teen Titans.
Of course! I’ve been talking a lot more recently on his early days because I’ve been re-reading all the impulse comics. He goes through a lot and he comes out on top, that at least never changes.
I don’t mind most fandom written versions of him, actually. I think the people out there that focus on Bart, staying true to his character while also expanding who he is is a great thing! Heck, I have plenty of my own headcanons on him, as you could probably tell from my… everything on my page. Haha 😅
Impulse comics and everything throughout was definitely his peak nearing the end of his series, even the issues of him taking on the Flash mantle and learning what it is about the legacy. (He’s not impressed and I don’t blame him). I just wish they’d let him have good relations in his life more, friends and family, without making them leave his life abruptly and almost as soon as he gets that close to them. It’s happened. Every. Time.
As for the 2003 edition of Titans, he’s definitely different and adverse from his earlier years, that’s for sure. And perhaps the writers at DC went a bit OOC too with his change of costume, and the whole fiasco about “curing” his autism- totally WRONG and UGH. I guess I like a lot of his aspects in it but those ones feel like a different character. Yeah, everyone grows up at some point, but it’s one thing to develop and another thing to rewrite them.
Hurricane KATRINA?! More like hurricane M I S H A
I actually did like the lineart I did for that Dark Tomorrow piece. I promise this is as far as I’m letting the brain rot consume me.
