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.

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)
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"
Or, black cat Thad and orange cat Bart

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 :)
(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).
The amount of joy I feel is immeasurable.
Look at my babies!!!
