Me: sobbing over the friendship dynamic and every bit of life this panel give me.
Also me: Bart’s going to be taller than them one day, laugh now.
who is sobbing? not me i’m not crying over fictional friendships
Young Justice vol 3 #17
Tim, absolutely sleep deprived and not even drinking coffee at this point, just inhaling caffeine: Life if just a long bingo game and the reward is death.
Jason, also sleep deprived and an intellectual: the fuck are you on about? Death is controlled by the three sisters past, present, and future with their magic scissors and thread.
Bart, ALSO sleep deprived and sprawled out on the couch and Jason’s lap: Be my Hercules.
Jason: Bold of you to assume I’m not Meg.
Tim, dropping his head in his hands: My life amounts to nothing more than a thread.
Bruce, extremely concerned for all of them: … okay.
I love the idea of Bart integrating himself into the batfam, but totally under the radar of Tim.
Bart likes hanging out with Tim from the comics, as he’s stated on multiple occasions. So I can imagine he visits the manor too when he gets the chance. Thing is, Tim isn’t usually there either so that leaves Bart with the decision “go home and be bored or find a new victim”… Find a new victim it is.
One day Tim and Bart go to the manor together after an exceptionally long mission and Tim just missed his friend so he invites him over.
Clue #1 Tim picks up on, Alfred greets them at the door and says hello to Bart fondly, Bart even calling him “Alfie”.
Clue #2, if Dick is around he cheerfully waves at them both and gives Bart a small noogie. Not too out of the ordinary, Nightwing assists the titans- their team, so they know each other.
Clue #3, and Tim is now sus as Hell about the situation, Jason and Bart have just cracked some crazy, elaborate inside joke they share and are laughing about it hysterically. Tim is in shock at his elder brothers mirth.
Clue #4, Tim is about to put everyone under interrogation lights because this is just too weird. Damian snaps something rude at Tim, and Bart laughs with an arm flung around the demons shoulder asking if he’s seen the latest chopstick cat video.
At this point, he thought he couldn’t get more surprised, but then Clue #5 walks in. Bruce shows up and looks at Bart saying “Back so soon?” In that teasing dad voice only the batkids hear and Tim is just in awe.
Steph and Cass come in soon after and Bart’s babbling on about the next “girls night” and Tim just wants to either drown in coffee or pass out for the next 80 years, or at least until the next apocalypse.
All in all, Bart in the Batfam plz.
Bart: I’m the little spoon!
Jason, wrapping an arm around him: I’m the knife.
Jason: My aesthetic is rage. I have twin handguns and wear leather.
Jason, pulling Bart over: This was the sunflower left on my grave.
Bart, waving innocently: :)
the coolest thing about bart is the irony in his personality bc he’s called impulse due to the whole single synapse theory with translating thought to immediate action and on the surface that paints him as being pretty impulsive but he’s actually a very simple, smart, and subtle person. he’s not super outgoing so much as he is bored by the world that surrounds him, so after some outbursts he loses himself in thought often and that gives way to this side of him that does think and ponder and reflect, which i feel like is rly comforting for neurodivergent readers who are treated as if their behavioral patterns are otherwise abnormal or inconclusive. it’s so nice to have a character who isn’t ostracized by the narrative for his thought process and who we get to see be insightful and endearing in his own, unique way. i love him so so much
Bart needs one of these shirts. Right sprocking now.
steph made the shirts for them <3

Snart: You know, that stuff will kill you one day.
Hartley, drinking an entire bottle of Wine: Exactly.
Owen, smoking a cigarette: We’re trying to speed this up.
Bart, eating raw cookie dough and non-stop junk food: *nodding quickly*

somewhere deep in my soul I could get on board with it
and yet…
how did that even get started
who was like “oh my god how did this even start”
“how is this a thing”
“why do i keep seeing it”
“i ship it”

Lalala, I didn’t do anything, lalala, I’m innocent. I did draw this though.
Not me thinking about how everyone would react if Jay and Bart did start getting along, let alone seeing each other.
Tim wouldn’t be very surprised, just sigh very heavily. Kon would frown in disappointment and shake his head a lot. Cassie would be confused but also laughing a bit behind her hand.
Bart: This is totally absurd!
Tim: No, it’s really not.
Kon: This is for your safety.
Bart: Oh, What, next you’re going to tell me that skateboarding on top of titans tower on a ramp I made myself is “Dangerous”. Psh…
Kon and Tim simultaneously: YES.
Bart: Never think you’re the smartest guy in the room.
Thad: unless you are the smartest guy in the room.

don’t mind me, i’m just thinking about hal with kind of curly hair.
Bart despite popular thinking would be an introvert too, he is not the type of guy who is hyper flitting around the class and talking non-stop, you could even say that he is quiet and somewhat silent when he is in his normal life.
I am not saying that he is shy, because he would be the opposite but he is not burning in the emotion of adventure either.
Yeah like that's one of he things that both the fandom and Bendis got really wrong about Bart.
They said (In a Bendis Y.J. issue) that Bart liked to talk or use a lot of words or something--but as I recall when reading Impulse. He doesn't actually talk a whole lot. He's in his head daydreaming like a type of introvert.
Heck, believe it or not you could say Bart isn't actually that hyper. He just has super speed and an attention problem so it seems that way.
He's a much calmer than people think. He can get very emotional and have loud emotions like everyone else. But his default mode is actually quite calm and collected, at least on the outside.
Bart is one of those painfully misunderstood characters. But I guess you can say that about a lot of comic book characters now a days.
Even writers of his original era didn't quite get him. Cause he was more subtle and nuanced than anyone seems to give him credit for.
Like very now and again people seemed ticked off at me for not like Post-Deaths Tim that much besides under a specific writer, but that's cause most of those writers didn't get Tim and just plain got his personality wrong. Which is pretty valid of me. I don't get why people only assume bad characterization only happened within the last decade--
But I arguably don't even like most Bart stuff from the 90s themselves cause it seems like when Mark Waid isn't there, it's often that the character is completely butchered. I'd say Pete David is second best, but even he had moments where he botched it.
My man Bart deserves more respect. Like even more so than Tim what the fandom thinks of Bart is even more just so wildly believed that I can’t even find myself enjoying, well, nearly any fan art. Cause most of it’s just based on the assumption of who Bart is rather than what he’s actually like.
Jay: 😈🔪💥Murder💥
Bart: 🥰💕✨Murder✨
Tim, Bart and Jason all hanging out:
Tim on his phone: ...
Jason, braiding Bart's hair: ...
Bart happy about the attention: *speedforce actin' up*
Jay: Did... did you just fucking purr?
Bart, panicking: uhhHHHH EVASIVE MANUVERS! *full force slams a tissue box in Jay's face and runs away*
June 22, Hartley Rathaway's Birthday
I'm writing Jaybart one-shots that absolutely none of you asked for but I'm going to post them soon anyways.
Barry and Wally: Lawful Neutral. They share the same need to serve justice And Wally’s the “golden child”.
Wally and Bart: Chaotic Neutral. Bart annoys Wally, Wally makes Bart consider murder, at the end of the day they tolerate each other at most.
Barry and Bart: Chaotic Evil. Barry doesn’t believe in Bart, Bart’s trying his best and he will throw hands with his grandpa. Barry is just a tyrant. They have some kind of feud because Bart is also related to Eobard.
Barry and Jay: Lawful good. Ever heard the expression apple doesn’t fall far from the tree? In this case it’s more like that tree was genetically cloned to make a new tree and those two trees make it Hell for the apples trying to roll far away from them.
Wally and Jay: Lawful neutral. They have a decent standpoint on each other. Jay sometimes has old man wisdom but ehhh well-
Bart and Jay: True Neutral. Oh boy where do I begin. Outside if the suits, they are just like a boy living with his uncle. In suits, it’s like a constantly angry bird telling off another smaller bird for wanting to fly.
Bart and Max: Chaotic good. This, this right here is father and son. They have wholesome and domestic lives and a dad trying to teach his kid about heroism. Nothing to see here.
Wally and Max: True Neutral. Max babysits the kids sometimes. They have nothing against each other but they’re also not close. No one’s as close to Max as Bart is.
Barry and Max: Chaotic Neutral. Picture if you will. “Hey old man I hardly talk to. I know you’re basically retired and all but take this kid that’s my grandson, raise and teach him.” Says Barry dropping off Bart like he were a puppy. Sorry Max, Barry can’t teach Bart cause he doesn’t feel like it.
Have you considered JayBartTimKon polycule?
Bart being loved by everyone
I would like to see it
OMA Okay, so, YES! I have! I’m a fruitful believer in TimKonBart, but after building the foundation of JayBart, it’s been on my mind non-stop. Starring: Kon being the hotheaded-himbo™, Tim as the Idiot with brains, Jay as the Classy Motherfucker, and Bart as the glue that they literally all depend on and will fight(kill in one case) anyone for. Bart is totally oblivious to his role.
How their polycule works in my mind are like so 💕 (Side note: a Polycule is a network of people connected in a large scale relationship, but not all persons are connected the same way for those that don’t know)
All three Jason, Kon, and Tim have a current romantic relationship with Bart. Kon and Tim are primary partners to each other, with Bart occasionally joining their group. Jason and Kon are more distant; their standpoints vary on each other depending on mood and day. Tim and Jay are brothers, adoptive or not, so there's no relationship other than platonic; I don’t ship any batcest.
Some common occurrences with these roles:
Bart, casually suggesting to Tim and Jay, on separate occasions, that they should work things out and the story is a lot deeper than it may seem. Jay gets pouty about it for a week, and Tim puts it off until he can’t stop thinking about what Bart said until surprisingly, Jay calls him first. The moral of the story, they all take Barts's opinion of them VERY. SERIOUSLY. When it happened after a week, he figured he had nothing to do with it since it was muuuch longer to his perception of time.
Kon and Tim get into another argument because Kon’s being stubborn™, and Tim is also stubborn. So as Bart does, he becomes stubborn about people getting along. He approaches Tim first, giving Kon time to cool off and him an opportunity to catch Tim off guard while he’s sleep-deprived. He talks in his usual upbeat way, asking questions on top of questions faster than Tim can answer so Tim tries answering everything, not even able to process their questions about the argument that just occurred. After he’s satisfied he goes to Kon, knocking on his door politely (something he didn’t do with Tim) and when he’s invited in, he lays out Tim’s side of the story in a much more emotionally heartfelt way that Tim usually isn’t able to put into words. He then leaves and lets them apologize to each other.
The first time Bart dies, and then closely after with Kon’s death, with Tim going through his phase into Red Robin, Jay actually COMFORTS him. For the first time. When Bart did come back, he saw that they got much closer and Jay’s excuse was “You fucking DIED. Never do that again.” and they cry. (Too Bad Bart dies four more times after that)...
I have sooo many ideas on this but I hope you’re satisfied! ❤😊
Welcome to the ever growing cult, new fledgling 💞
JAYBART PLEASE THATS SO GOD TIER...
