Them
I missed them
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.
Have some Wayne Manor Quarantine Headcanons because I couldn't sleep last night and thought of these instead!
Dick
• lasted half a day
• is so incredibly bored and fidgety
• won't stop moving
• unintentionally annoying everyone
• "Hey Jay, whatcha' playing? Cool cool. Can I have a go?"
• already climbed all 4 chandeliers, twice, much to Alfred's dismay
Jason
• got Animal Crossing on release day
• has been binging it non stop
• no idea what day it is
• 11million bells in his account
• absolutely TT's
• just wants to play in peace
Tim
• non-existent sleep schedule
• Jason once caught him microwaving hot pockets at 4am
• "Well I made cereal at 12am, so this is technically lunch"
• did his online classes for a week
• hasn't touched them since
Steph
• has been living on breakfast food
• said she'd use this time to exercise and come out of quarantine super ripped
• saved every "at home workouts you can do" she's come across
• hasn't done a single one
• 2am online shopping binges
Cass
• embodiement of the "when you find out your daily lifestyle is called quarantine" meme
• has a schedule and is sticking to it
• loves that there is no one else on her runs
• very confused about the constant reminders to wash your hands
• "Did..they not wash before?"
Duke
• doesn't know how or when, but he has Tiktok now
• binging everything on Netflix
• marble racing is actually pretty good
• honestly just wants to be able to buy some toilet paper
Damian
• he's resorted to sleeping in the barn with the animals
• avoiding Richard at all costs
• had his swords confiscated
• uninterrupted pet loving time
• he dressed Alfred the Cat sf in a tie for Bruce's meetings
Bruce
• barricaded himself in his office
• still does Batman stuff, but won't allow the others to patrol
• because "it's not safe"
• he really just wants a few hours alone, please
• does video conferences from home and 96% of the time the aduio is the kids screaming and or fighting
Alfred
• his chore system did not work
• kind of misses the days when all he had to cook was food for himself
• now he has to feed The Horde™
• but honestly, he loves having everyone together for forced family dinners
Damian Wayne has often been depicted for his uncharacteristicly mature and strikingly violent behavior, but he 100% always participates in childish games like "tag" or "hide-and-seek" because, and I quote (His non-existant quote, this is a headcanon don't @ me) "I will not be bested by you imbiciles"
In the end he always has a good time with his brothers (because Dick is normally the one to drag him into it) and if anyone were to point out his smile, he would immediatly deny any and all accusations of having fun.
