Don't apologise for speaking the truth. You should be more passive-aggressive if anything. Or maybe just aggressive :D
people know Duke Thomas's mom is fine and he's living with her again, right??? They know that he helped her through her recovery and she knows about his life as Signal? And that he was living with his cousin Jay prior to that? Everyone understands the concept of temporary guardianship and how an adult can be a mentor without being a parental figure, right???????
Well, yea... she doesn't have any bones in her body... she's a puppet
ok but give me one good reason why you wouldn’t date Kermit the frog besides that he is a puppet and a frog
I headcannon that Bart was born before Owen, but due to time travel shenanigans Owen is older
Jenni is canonically older than Bart, so there are no options where she's the youngest
It's even funnier if you remember that Owen is Barts' half-brother. So not only would Tim br dating his parents murderers son, but he'd also be dating one of his best friends' brothers. XD
You know if Dick had a relationship Tony Zuccos kid:
and Bruce is having relationship with Joe Chills kid:
then if we’re following trends…:
This is why I write him as a murderer that's done with everyone.
You know... to balance it out.
I love (hate) that Bart Allen really could be the walking embodiment of "if I started murdering people there would be none of you left" and he HAS gone down paths where killing is an option and yet some fandom circles insists he's UwU "so sweet baby innocent doesn't know what blood is"

Happy holidays, everyone, and thanks to my family and friends for funding my autism!
I don't know if it's just me, but I always saw what Max was doing as teaching Bart to mask (in the way society teaches autistic people to mask).
While Wally wanted Bart to change, Max just wanted Bart to be able to fit in without criticism.
It's so interesting that Max on multiple occasions confronted Wally about his frustrations with Bart by saying matter of factly "This is who Bart is and this is his inherent nature" as a point of criticism on Wally's approach only to in his own home to try force him to change his very nature and persistently refused to try and understand him.
They make my mind spin like spinach in a salad spinner.
My pitch for Absolute Impulse
(and Thad, but shh)
Instead of Bart being saved and sent to the past by Meloni and Iris, he instead stays in the future and under the rule of President Thawne.
He is then basically groomed and made into a super-soldier/mercenary for the government along side Thad (who is Barts' twin and not a clone). The two grow up in VR together and the simulation basically trained them to be said soldiers.
Then they two get sent back in time by President Thawne to kill Wally - who is their father, because we don't have Barry.
In the end, the two have a redemption arc and end up helping Wally while still having the skills and mindset of children who were groomed into soldiers.
Pure autism bellow;
The reason Bart and Thad grow up together in VR is to create a sense of only having each other. They won't be loyal to Thawne, only to each other simply because they are the only ones they've ever known. The lack of human contact in Barts' backstory always seemed weird to me, since it wasn't really explored, so having the two of them will allow them to still have the sense of humanity.
The ageing problem: For those unaware, Bart experienced rapid ageing dur to the speed force and was only able to start ageing normally when Wally fixed him. This gets changed to the scientist fixing them, but after a longer time - so Bart and Thad are both ~15-16 when they go to the past instead of being 12-15.
Wally being their dad is so they have more of a connection (also I think It'd be really cool if Wally didn't know and Bart and Thad used it against him once he found out). Also because, again, there is no Barry.
Lastly, the whole VR thing. I always found it weird that the VR was like a weird game/fever dream. Like, why would the government spend so much money and time on a child to get nothing out of it? So, having the VR actually be more similar to something like Elden Ring or Skyrim where it's opened world and they can talk to whoever - but they have to fight a bunch of big bads. It'll also be really intreating to explore the lack of care for other human life because they wouldn't realise that people aren't just code until later. (murder twins, and when Wally gets mad at them they get confused because they simply don't understand)
Uhhh... yeah. Bart and Thad being brother and child soldiers for the government sent back in time to kill their father is something I'd like to see.
(I just want to explore the consequences of children being raised in VR and not being socially conditioned properly... man, I have issues).
He bought fake blood for dramatic effect...
Becuase he's just like that.
Just actually read the titans tower incident
WHERED HE GET ENOUGH BLOOD TO WRITE THAT
NEITHER OF THEM WERE BLEEDING THAT MUCH
I like the idea of Bart being weirdly tall. Like, not Amazon or Kryptonian tall, just like a tall human while the rest of the speedster are average height or shorter.
I like to think he gets it from his mum :)
Autism is developing entire species with full evolution paths, hierarchies, and unique customs for the world from just a single thought that you then expand on.
(I also spent approx 5 hours worldbuilding the other day)
ADHD is developing the plot for an entire book while zoned out and daydreaming and then getting so immersed in it that you spend the next week developing characters, their traits, places, development, twists and turns and just hoping the creativity holds up and you'll get to finish it.
(I spend approx 5 hours making character moodboards today)
Bart also has a prosthetic knee after it got shot out by Deathstroke during a Teen Titans run (don't know if it's cannon anymore, but still)
Why do they deserve to win?
Bart Allen
Dick Grayson
If Thad was to ever come back (and was characterised/written correctly), he should join the Outlaws to complete the set of Bat, Kryptonian, Speedster, and Amazon.
It would also be really funny to watch everyone else react to that (especially Bart and Tim)
What's your favorite part of creating characters?
Fucking them up.
The amount of joy I feel is immeasurable.
Look at my babies!!!
Me: *sees this post*
Internal diolouge: Well, it really depends on how you define a-
External diologue: no, no! It Alfred because fuck you
Just to add to this, the entirety of the core-four/Tim's era of sidekicks are all drawn in incorrect ages at some point (or all the time in Barts' case)
Going off their ages in the original YJ comics, Tim is 2 years younger than Jason Todd (who will be my reference point), Bart and Cassie (I think) are both a year older than Tim (making them 1 year younger than Jason), and lastly KON IS THE SAME AGE AS JASON!
Which is something to think about since Jason is drawn like a man going through a mid-life crises but Kon is still drawn early 20s (or younger.)
Therefore, (going off Jason's' age being 22-23):
Tim: 20-21
Bart and Cassie: 21-22
Kon: 22-23
Personally, I think Kon and Cassie are the only two that are drawn to their correct ages (including Jason) and DC need to get their act together and get everyone's ages in order.
"Bart's aging has always been everywhere so it's not invalid to draw him like this [9-11 years old]."
Incorrect. While Bart's aging has been variable throughout the comics it has always been explained by a very clear and blatant events preceding the aging.
The youngest Bart has been in the comics barring flashbacks, and literal one-off aging time shenanigans, is 12 which was a thing for all of 3 pages then he rapidly aged to 14 and was stable for a long, long time.
Bart did not experience any changes in his aging (baring one gag issue where he was a toddler, and the Sins of Youth arc where he was an adult temporarily) for at least two years comic-time.
After apprehending Superboy Prime, Bart was aged to an adult, against the advisement of Geoff Johns and Mark Waid he spent time as The Flash until he was given a mercy kill.
Bart was brought back to life by Brainiac 5 in Legion of Three Worlds where he was reset back to his original age before he was aged up, landing him around 16-17 years old.
Flashpoint happened and he was taken out of comic continuity.
Bart come BACK into comic continuity but we are uncertain what his age is - and this is also something he himself is noted as saying he's not sure what his age is either. Logically, if he never aged while in the Speed Force then when he popped back out he would still be around 17 years old. This is the youngest he can be. Tim, Cassie and Cissie meanwhile aged around a year since Flashpoint and their ages are nebulous. Kon's age as well is uncertain.
Realistically, the Core Four should be in the 18-20 range at the youngest, but if we're going to be 'fair' and accept the reboot fucked age relationships up - then their last posted ages anywhere from 16-18 would be valid.
Bart is not being drawn anywhere near that age group currently in the current run of The Flash and is consistently being depicted as smaller than Jai. This could be valid, as 13 year olds can be VERY BIG and for some completely at their adult height - but the thing is Bart is being drawn SMALLER than he was pre-Flashpoint.
I am so sorry I am so agitated. Even being FAIR it doesn't add up or make sense.
Fixed typos and an error.
Comic Comission for @devine-fem ❤️💙
This is a nice break from the angst that I have been tormenting myself to... within my own head of course
Slightly belated Happy Father’s Day to the man who never wanted kids and the boy who needed a dad. Print in the reblogs.
How to properly tag shit because so many tags are borderline unusable in this fandom.
- if you are in the Roy Harper tag, and any Jason Todd other than Robin!Jason is mentioned, you should tag RHATO.
- if you are in the Wally West tag, and Dick Grayson is in your post, you should tag titans or yjanimated.
- if you are in the arrowfam tag, there shouldn't be bats in your post. if you are in the wonderfam tag, there shouldn't be bats in your post. if you are in the green lantern tags, there shouldn't be bats in your post. if there are bats in your post, then tag it as titans/justice league/whatever based on the bat in your post. make it possible to filter out unwanted characters.
- if a character is not mentioned, don't put your unrelated posts in their tag. i cannot understand why the lian harper tag is the way that it is, and i sure would like for it to not be that way.
Blacklists only work if we tag things properly. I can barely scroll through the Roy Harper tag despite having RHATO, red hood and the outlaws, and jayroy all black listed because of improperly tagged stuff. I know we all want our posts to be seen, but the fandom is a healthier, less toxic place when we help each other out. People can't filter for things they enjoy if we overrun their tags with unrelated stuff, and then that just ends in arguments.
Here's some Roys in honor of reaching the end of this post <3
And a Klarion the witch boy for good measure :)
Or, black cat Thad and orange cat Bart
Catboy Thad dogboy bart
You are the devil. I sat here for 20 minutes, debating which one to pick.
you know what I'm curious, for the duke girlies (gender neutral)

This is the TF2 lore I live for
In the Halloween Comic, it is mentioned that Medic has a "German Tourist Routine" where he goes out looking like a tourist so that people will mug him, so he can harvest their organs.
Imagining Medic just in the like... stereotypical shorts and suspenders, a button up shirt, knee high socks, and a Polaroid camera around his neck, taking pictures of shit, trying to look as lost and innocent as possible.
All the while he has to actively hold back the evil laughter and horrid little grin as people fall for his clever disguise.
A buff, hairy, fully grown man with a powerful jaw, dressed up like a little cartoon German boy with a lollipop, but looking at you with a Kubrick Stare and grinning from ear to ear as he daydreams about what he's going to do with your liver.

I want mental health to be so normalised that little children can tell their parents if they’re feeling mentally ill just like they would if they had a stomach ache or a fever.
I want mental health to be so normalised that school lets you go home after a panic attack episode like they do if you sustain an injury.
I want mental health to be so normalised that when someone’s in recovery the people around them ask for progress reports and send get well soon cards just like they would for any other sort of recovery.
I want mental health to be normalised because every mental health disorder is just as frightening, just as damaging as a life threatening injury and we pass people by every day who are so unwell in this sense but who don’t receive a fraction of the care they deserve just because mental health is unseen.
Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean mental illness don’t exist.
