Overlord Is Watching. Lilith Must Not Be Bad. He Always Knows When’s The Lilith Is Bad...

OKay but what if Owen was born first? What if when Digger got sent through time, he didn't go so far and he met Meloni BEFORE she and Don fell in love? What if Owen was raised by Meloni? And Don was his step dad? And when Bart was born, and Don was killed, the same lab that had Bart in the VR simulation kept Owen captive. And when Iris broke Bart out, she got both of them? And while she told Bart about his Thawne/Allen lineage, and about his Grandpa Barry, she also told Owen about his father, his real father? What if they were sent back in time together, and Owen protected his little brother? He tells Bart stories about the father he never got the chance to meet, and things about their mother Bart didn't get the chance to know. That when Max took Bart in, he went to find Digger? What if They already knew each other, and Bart was Impulse and Owen was Captain Boomerang Jr? That Bart never fought the Rogues and refused to bring any of them in because of it, and Owen may help rob banks and pull heists, but he wouldn't lay a hand on them Flashers. Those are Family. That every time he and Bart see each other, it's just a nice brother reunion and catching up.

And then Thad comes along and Owen being a big dumb himbo boy, goes ":0 Bart NEW BROTHER :D" and adopts the kid on the spot. Thad, never having a place ever or any kind of positive connection in his thousand years of life just accepting defeat, cause “maybe this orangutang wasn't so bad, unlike my counterpart”. And Owen was like their glue that kept them from killing each other until they established an unbreakable bond. Digger adopted all of them with Max as the co-parent and now they're just a happy family.

WAIT I JUST READ YOUR TAGS WHATS YOUR THREE LIGHTNING RODS THEORY?

I AM SO GLAD SOMEONE ASKED THIS I WANTED TO RAMBLE ABOUT IT SO BADLY. I’m not sure how canon this is but it’s kind of based around the first issue of rebirth where Linda can’t pull Wally back from the speed force but Barry could and it got me thinking.

So there’s three types of love: romantic, platonic, and familial. Since each character that a speedster has had as a lightning rod could be connected through love in one of those forms, I sort of made up this theory around it. For example: Wally’s three lightning rods are Linda (romantic), Dick (platonic), and Barry (familial). Barry’s would be Iris, Hal, and Wally for the same reasons.

Obviously it doesn’t work for everyone (as far as I know, Bart barely has a love interest outside of that one girl from the Impulse comics forever ago), and it can absolutely change based on what you ship for the most part (Wally having Barry and Linda as lightning rods is canon lol), so they don’t HAVE to have three: if you want, they can have only one or two or three of the same kind etc but you get the picture. But it’s a really interesting theory to me mostly because of that fact that love of ALL types is such an important of what makes all of the speedsters heroes. I’ve been saying forever that their true power is love and friendship, but you know, it’s all just a theory. A really, really cool one. So yeah.

Cassie: Hey, guys? What’s the first thing that pops into your head when I say… “Wake me up?”

Secret & Impulse: Before you go-go~!

Superboy: When September ends…~

Robin: WAKE ME UP, INSIDE!

Dick: “Yeah, but we expect this kind of stuff from Jason. Not you. You’re the good one.”

Tim: “What? How am I the good one?”

Dick: “Well, it’s definitely not me.”

Damian: “What?”

Tim: “How is it not you?”

Jason: “All I know is that I’m the bad one.”

Damian: “No, I’m the bad one. Wait, do you mean bad kid or bad Robin? There’s a difference.”

Jason: “What’s that?”

Damian: “Well, I’m obviously the bad Robin. I killed people.”

Jason: “So have I, you’re not special.”

Damian: “But I’m the only Robin who killed someone while wearing the suit.”

Dick: *side-eyes Jason*

Jason: *looks directly at the wall, whistling innocently*

Tim: “Are we missing something here?”

Dick, completely ignoring him: “Anyway, that’s not the point of this. Tim is the good kid.”

Tim: “How?”

Dick: “You’re the only one of us who hasn’t killed someone.”

Damian: *stares at him*

Jason: *stares at him*

Dick: *looks anywhere but at his brothers*

Damian: “...Wait a second, when did you—”

Jason: “Who the fuck did you kill?”

Dick: *looks at Tim*

Tim: *shrugs*

Dick: “You, uh... you might want to sit down, Jay—”

hi! i'm mentally ill, queer, and running away from an abusive home.

okay i really hate having to do this but i don't really have any other option. basically my home life is shit and i'm making the executive decision to bounce. i'm 21, so legally, my parents can't do anything, my friend is taking me in for a bit, but i can't stay there forever. i'm also on medication and i need to pay for my own phone bill, healthcare, etc., so i'm asking for donations. i write fanfics so if you want to commission me, that would also work. here's my AO3 for examples of my writing. i'm terrified, but i need to do this for my own wellbeing. here's some links:

thank you so much for reading.

Bart: We can't go in there. It says "18+" and there's only two of us, Tim.

Tim: You're so stupid, Bart.

Tim: We'll just invite more people.

People forget Bart is canonically a SK8R boi so here’s your reminder 💕✨
