Okay, so let me get this all straight for those of you who don't know comic Bart or at all: Bart Allen's dad was gone and his mom couldn't take care of him constantly being on the run, so he was basically a lab rat for a scientific facility since... b i r t h just about. He was put into VR as a sort of sedative and to keep up with his vastily progressive mind and body since he aged about 200x the average person. (By the time he was three he looked 13) But in a way, speedsters have this kinda "dog years" effect in that everything in the world for them is slowed because that's just the way they see everything. So, in technicallity, while the scientists only had him for three or four years, to Bart it was 16??? And don't get me stArTed on the physical and pshycological effect of that. He never saw another living person until he was 16. He never had any kind of physical contact until he was 16. Could you even imagine?? No wonder the kid is so touch starved. (I feel like him and Kon bond over the fact they're younger than their bodies progression but besides the point). So he's been in this facility for 16 years, spends all that time in a Virtual false reality where his only friend was some weird VR program named Dox, which is probably symbolysim for the doctors that experimented on him when he was put under, and which he named his dog after, he's never felt affection or talked to people outside of that, never got a chance to meet his parents, has more villain relatives then Hero and STILL didn't go to the dark side after THAT?? Can still show off the best fake smiles and persona front after all that?? Had to endure more than MOST EVERYONE in only THREE YEARS which was actually SIXTEEN and STILL is GOOD?? You cannot tell me that this is the bravest kid you've ever read about, you cannot. And even with all that, he finds it in himself to forgive many of those who've wronged him. Listen, Bart Allen is by far the most amazing character I know and you can fight me on this. He's been through more than all the Batfam COMBINED. If he wasn't so bright and cheery, I bet Bruce would've adopted him. (another thing I forgot to mention, the fact Wally practically gave Bart away to Max and made the kid feel unwanted, even though Max became like the only crutch Bart had/a father figure, not even Barry wanted him when he returned from the dead. Assholes) He's died FIVE TIMES and he's still a hero. He's experienced this over and over, and still is a hero. He left his home and practically erased it's existence so now he's a time anomaly, who doesn't really fit in anywhere in time, and is still a hero. Fuck your favourite angst characters, Bart Allen takes all the cake.
It’s funny, the way I imagine JayBart working. They aren’t one of those cute couples/friendships who get each other gifts and shower with affection. No, they call each other assholes and get into arguments about seemingly nothing, they find pleasure in each others discomfort and even more so if they are the ones to cause it. They fight over the remote and kick each other off the couch, chase each other around when the other goes to far with the playful taunts. Point out each others weaknesses but know when to call it quits. They aren’t cute or fluffy or something to coo at, they’re so much better than that. They’re just two people with asshole/sarcastic personalities that trust each other and will most likely wrestle on the living room floor in their form or affection.
Also this? This called me out cause you can guess who’s who in this scenario.

here is a star for everyone who’s not feeling their best today (🌟)
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-
He’s running in the 90’s ⚡️⚡️
I LOVE A LIL GUYYY THAT RUNNNNNS
Tim: I'm at that age where I have only one thing on my mind.
Bart: Your massive crush on Kon?
Cassie: Student Debt?
Tim: holding a birdarang Homicide.
Tim: I'm about to stab someone.
Bart: Please don't.
Cassie: slowly takes the weapon
Excuse, of what comic is that last image that you put in the last ask, Bart looks buff and bigger as hell lmao.
I'm sure he's a bit more little lol, why that artist make that?
You mean the one of Buff impulse that someone said looks like the fairy general from fairy odd parent’s? For reference, I’ll put the photo again.
This image is from the comic “Sins of Youth: Kid Flash & Impulse #1”
In it, Bart is now an Adult and tales on the Flash legacy as Impulse, and Wally is younger than him, still a teenager, and becomes his sidekick as Kid Flash. It’s a really interesting storyline and the comics can be super funny! I really do suggest it.
If you want the rundown of the comic, I can supply that as well.
If Bart doesn't have the biggest hair and the biggest feet, then he is not Bart Allen anymore.
⚡Bart And Batfam⚡ Headcanons + Theories, Fuck the Flash, Impulse + Rogue Supremacy
