We’re lacking content of Thad, Bart, and Owen all together so here, I drew y’all this gift on my phone at 2 AM.
Merry Christler, you spunky queers 💞
Aha this is a long one... Adding onto my post a little bit ago cause I was on the train and didn't have enough rant energy-
Bart has eidetic memory, or Hyperthymesia, or photographic memory, whatever works for you. He remembers everything he's ever read, seen, or heard, but in some of the comic strips, it's him being confused about a certain series or event that happened, like he didn't recall it almost, which is almost impossible due to his advanced memory. One of the most common symptoms of Dissociative Identity Disorder is memory gaps when in a different personality. You have no idea how excited I am about this cause I have DID and positive representation, yes please. When I find the comic strips I'm talking about I'll repost and add them in but I'm on a rampage rn. Not even sorry.
Bart is known to have mood swings throughout the entire Impulse series, where he gets grumpy or pouty, things like that, but that childish nature could actually be a personality. He could feel robbed of his childhood since he couldn't "live it" due to his situation growing up, so he creates an entire persona to live like a child in his teenage body. Everyone always brushes it off to him being "a speedster", and the fact that he is ALSO supposed to represent a character with Autism and his ADHD plus ADD, it all kinda adds up, because he switches into this person sometimes that's sarcastic and has a more bleak outlook. He still is always there for his friends, even if they underappreciate the HECK out of him, but it wouldn't make sense in the sense that he's silly only because of his Hyper-changing Autism. AUTISM ISN'T A PERSONALITY PEOPLE. Honestly? The excuse that it's because he's a speedster doesn't add up either. Being a speedster can make him bored easily and he has a hyperglycemia diet where he has to eat full meals every two hours, but it doesn't explain why he so suddenly shifts into entirely new moods. being moody is one thing, but being Bart is a whole new can of worm on strings.
I think one of the biggest things to show this is when Jerico shot his knee using the body of Deathstroke. Before the incident, he never wanted to take up Wally's mantle because he thought it was disrespectful and he didn't deserve it, but after he was shot he took no hesitation in taking up the suit. That entire comic screwed me over because: 1, no one touches my baby Bart. 2, everyone was so rude to him like 24/7?? To BART of all people. 3, that gunshot would've done a LOT more damage then what they diagnosed him. A SHOTGUN was TWO INCHES from his knee and blast him from that space and they gave him a prosthetic kneecap? Excuse me, there'd be nothing LEFT to ATTATCH IT TO, but that's a rant for another time. What I'm getting at here is he wanted to exact his revenge on Jerico, which is typical, I would too if someone capped my knee. But he read the ENTIRE SAN FRANSICO LIBRARY IN ONE SITTING!! Bart, who HATES sitting in one place reading anything that isn't a comic read an entire LIBARAY and not some normal one, this one was MASSIVE. He learned everything about the human nervous system and used it against Slade to his advantage, before it was revealed it was actually Jerico.
SO, he took on the Kid FLash mantle, something he said he wouldn't do. He read an entire library in one sitting, something he wouldn't noramlly do. He became incredibly serious about his mission, something he normally isn't. His kid Flash persona is not him. His trauma from the experience added with his stress must've forced a new one to form, since he already Had his "Impulse" persona it was easy.
Bart Allen has DID and no one can change my mind.
For the next person to say "Damian is too serious of a character" or "He's too violent"... Hoe, I think the fuck not.
Damian "Adopts every animal in sight that doesn't have a home" Wayne.
Damian "Talks to his animals like he could understand what they are saying" Wayne.
Damain "and his 'you want a piece of this I'm the goddamn son of Batman' spoken out loud while he trains by himself" Wayne.
Damian "I'm gonna hug my brother when he comes back to life, call him an ass and then continue to fight by his side like nothing ever happened" Wayne.
Damian "Don't be an Ezor" Wayne.
Damian "Bacame friends with a giant mutant dog beast and calls him an associate because he sees them as equals" Wayne.
Damian "Has a fucking pet Turkey named Jerry" Wayne.
Don't you dare tell me that he isn't just a cinnamon roll full of unreleased anger and wanting to be loved.
*Continues pressing every button* “WHAT ARE THESE ALIEN CONTROLS. GET OUT OF MY HEAD! EQUATIONS... CONSPIRACY!!!!”
panic really does turn you into a complete fucking moron huh
So we all know Bart and his dynamic with Tim, but honestly there's so many possibilities. Hi, if you're new here, I rant a lot about how Bart and Jason would get along wonderfully.
Anyways, Bart and Damian. So we all know Bart, once he dies, for some reason always comes back younger. (That reason is probably cause DC creators only see him as comedic relief and keeping him young keeps his spark but I'll leave that for another time). So eventually, When he comes back from death as Impulse, same age as Damian, after previously being as old as Tim (which is just weird), we have a blooming friendship.
Now obviously, Damian- bless him- is our snobby little prince with serious attatchment issues and good sense of humor. I feel like Bart would bring out a totally different side of him tho. We all know About Damian and Colin, or Damian and Jon, but Bart is just different from them.
As I've stated in my JayBart rants, Bart and Damian would definatly hold that sort of mutual understanding of what it's like to die and come back.
But other than being a total prankster and fun loving kid, Bart has his moments when he's got this off-shore wise part of him that has great advice. (such baby) I feel like Damian trying to shed away his teachings from the LOA and trying to fit into his newfound clusterheck of a family would be really hard for him. Obviously Bart knows a thing or two about that, seeing as him and his own family didn't get along either and they had no idea he existed until he showed up one day too, so Damian would see this side of Bart whenever he gives the Robin advice or just talks that no one else really sees and thats just so... hgggn
Also, Bart would definatly try to teach Damian how to have fun and invite him to tag or hide and seek and only get Damian to play when he says it can help in tacticality and training. He'd be very patient the entire time with him, and ends up having fun anyways. (Accidently breaks more than a few vases in the manor durring tag, oops)
Bart is also basically immune to rude comments since he's just too aloof to either notice them or care. (Legit, joker calls him an "obnoxious, fleet-footer, super brat" and all Bart does is think for a moment and say "no I'm not") Anything Damian throws at him he'll laugh along too. Also, 90% sure Bart would get Damian to smile a lot when people aren't around and he calls it a win.
Since Bart was trained in combat by Timmy and the LAPD and he has superspeed reaction time, he's a great spar partner for Damain. Dami uses him mostly for hand-to-hand or vent sparring and Bart is completely okay with this. His reflexs to all the punches and kicks are perfect for a moving target and keeping the fight going for longer.
There's a lot more I can say on this but I'll end it here. Y'all are probably like "Who's gonna read this long heckin thing" and I'm wondering the same.
Bart: So have you told Dick about us?
Tim: What? No. That's like posting it on my Facebook page... if I had a Facebook page.
Tim: or had any desire to share intimate life details with people I'd avoid on the street.
[Kitchen at Wayne Manor]
Dick: [picking through a candy bowl] Steph sure does date a lot doesn't she?
Cass: [with prejudice] glass houses
Dick: I didn't mean it was something bad!
Tim: She doesn't date a lot, she breaks up a lot.
Dick: Isn't that the same thing?
Cass: [unwrapping a chocolate bar] No
Tim: She has standards
Jason: [sorting m&ms] She dated YOU
Tim: She also broke up with me
Jason: ...did you just insult yourself to defend your ex?
Tim: [stares Jason down while slowly eating a piece of fudge]
Dick: [coughs awkwardly] so anyway. Isn't her dating so much a sign that her standards are TOO high?
Tim: [looks at Cass] Reasons Steph has dumped guys
Cass: [raises a finger] doesn't like cats
Damian: [from the other room] WHAT?!
Tim: [also starts counting on his fingers] refused to learn how to do laundry
Cass: Had his mother clean for him
Tim: Told her to calm down
Cass: Wanted to become a stock broker
Tim: asked if she was on her period
Cass: mocked people for wearing crocs
Tim: said he'd never read a book with a "female protagonist"
Cass: Said she was too emotional
Tim: was way too into sports
Cass: Said women with short hair was unattractive
Tim: kept using 'literally' when he meant 'figuratively'
Cass: told her she was putting on weight
Tim: didn't like Cass
Cass: didn't like Tim
Tim: mansplaining
Cass: kept talking about the wine list
Tim: kept talking about his car
Cass: [running out of fingers] thought "me too" had gone to far
Tim: [also with all his fingers outstretched] told her she "wasn't like other girls"
Dick and Jason:
Dick: I feel like some of those were more valid than others
Jason: [to Tim] so which one of those was the reason she broke up with you?
Tim: I didn't like Tim.
