The core disaster are about to break out of this dream world on rage (and Tim’s desire to kiss his boyfriend) alone
Barry Allen by Jo Cheol-Hong (Mi-Gyeung)
Don’t forget that it’s been like 20 days for Five
It’s so funny to think about how from viktor’s perspective the entire series has been over the course of like. maybe two months. Like the amount of shit that he’s had to process in such a short span: “Oh, I have powers. Oh, I destroyed the world. Oh, I have amnesia. Oh, I like girls. Oh, I have a family. Oh, I have powers, again. Oh, I’m a boy. Oh, the kid I helped raise in the 60s is here and he has powers. Oh, my sister killer him.” Like it’s amazing he’s any semblance of stable at all.
So this is a set of expression practices using expressions from an art meme that kind of took on a life of their own and decided to be a whole AU.
The premise is that the gubbermint, in true reactive fashion, decides that metas/speedsters are too powerful to be allowed to just run around. No pun intended. So through a combination of trickery, betrayal, and just not leaving them any options, the speedsters are all rounded up and held in a facility that contains some pretty heavy duty anti-meta dampening fields, etc. However. They were not reckoning on the speedsters’ well honed ability to take apart just about anything with enough time. The speedsters–good and bad–escape.
Picture ID’s: 1. Avery Ho gives a shaky grin, tears pouring from her eyes and dripping from her face, as she says, “Oh my God–You’re alive!” She is shown from the shoulders up, wearing a form fitting but featureless grey bodysuit that covers her to the neck. Light is falling on her in a way that suggests she is in a dark room facing an open door. The image is greyscale aside from her eyes, which are brown.
2. Bart Allen and Ace West cringe back, lit from behind. Both appear disturbed by what they’re looking at, which is in the direction of the viewer. Bart exclaims “Oh grife–” while Ace declares “That is sick”. The boys are wearing grey bodysuits identical to Avery’s, their hands are visible, raised into the picture, and the suits cover everything but their fingertips.The image is greyscale aside from their eyes. Bart’s eyes are golden and Ace’s eyes are brown.
3. Barry Allen and Eobard Thawne are shown in the same grey uniform the younger speedsters have been shown wearing. Barry is walking a little ahead of Eobard. Both men are slightly bloody, Eobard is bruised as well. Barry’s expression is a nervous, strained smile as he glances over his shoulder at Eobard. Barry suggests, “Maybe we won’t have to kill any of them…?” While Eobard, smiling viciously and staring to the side with a predatory look, counters, “Wouldn’t count on it, Care-Barr.” The image is greyscale aside from their eyes and the blood on them, with Barry’s eyes being a light blue and Eobard’s eyes being bright red.
Someone uploaded the entirety of the finale onto YouTube!
Please support the show officially if you can, but I understand not everyone is able to. Just be sure to watch it when it comes out onto streaming!
Enjoy!
confession: i miss tims long depression hair
I finally wrote my prompt I sent to @stealingyourbones back in November! well part of it. This is just chapter 1, so this gets a summary @dpxdcshipweek
Edit: forgot to say that I got help with the usernames from the wonderful @tourettesdog and @half-dead-ham! (If I'm wrong it's bc I'm not at home rn to look at my notes)

Summary: Danny has always had more internet access than a child really should have had. He tended to spend that time on game forums and different websites dedicated to space. Everyone once in a while he'd venture onto one about heroes and villains. That's how he met Tim Drake-Wayne or BatShadow as was his username back then.
Danny just wanted to see uncommon pictures of Superman. It really shouldn't have been this hard. He's an alien, there should be a lot of pictures of him. Frustrated with his lack of results he resorts to looking for the pictures through unpopular social media websites that should have new pictures. His first look didn't meet his goal, and before he could even think of trying again he was distracted by a post. It was a picture of a figure swinging between skyscrapers, backlit by neon light all against a smog filled sky. It was stunning and made all the more captivating by the identity of the subject in the photo. A picture of Batman, The Batman, taken in a way that you couldn't deny it was him. That was impressive on its own, but the quality is what made it shine. Danny had to see if the account had more pictures of Batman, or even other heroes. Looking at the blog, hoping it wasn't a deactivated user, he finds the posts of BatShadow.
The blog is a gold mine of pictures of Batman and Robin with some villains the duo we're fighting. All with stunning quality, with each subject undeniable as who they were but still giving a sense of privacy. Sadly, Danny couldn't find any other heroes pictured, but Danny could live with that. Batman was his third favorite hero, he blames Sam and all her knowledge on the edgy and obscure. She would be ecstatic about these photos, too bad he wasn't going to tell her. He was being petty. Sam should have known better than to say he couldn't keep a secret, so this is his secret now! Pettiness aside, Danny was going to message BatShadow to see if they had pictures of other heroes they hadn't posted.
Messages begins with BatShadow

Hey, sorry to bother ya
I just saw your posts and was wondering if you have any pics of superman
BatShadow:
I don't know. I would have to look. I don't usually go to an area with him in it much, so no promises.
ConstellationCruiser:
Thanks!! And that's fine really, it's just that your pics are amazing
BatShadow:
Thanks! Sorry, I have nothing for Supes.
ConstellationCruiser:
Damn
It's fine
I wasn't really expecting much
I'm just surprised at the quality and quantity ya got there
BatShadow:
It's super hard to get them without being caught but so worth it!
Danny continued talking to BatShadow about pictures and superheroes. Eventually switching to personal interest. Danny learns that BatShadow skateboards and in turn he tells them all about the stars. By the end of their conversation it was well into the night, Jazz wasn't going to be pleased. It was worth it though.
—-----
Danny ended up messaging again the next day, and the day after that. The other user was interesting and he was just so broad. Especially during these long summer days where Sam was off at some gala trip and Tucker was on vacation with his family. His parents being busy in the Lab at all hours and Jazz working a summer job didn't help. Even with Jazz trying to get him out of the house but it never really was worth it. Not with Dash and his gaggle out. Not without his friends there.
It's not like anyone besides Jazz would care about what he was doing online. Their parents were too caught up in drawing out plans and blueprints for a ghost portal or something. He doesn't care, it's more of the same for him. Don't get him wrong, he loved his parents and they loved him. They just pay more attention to their inventions, and this one happens to be one Danny can't help out with.
He's getting distracted. Danny was supposed to be cleaning the lab, not thinking of long gone days. It was taking way longer than he thought it would. His parents really aren't as careful with their samples as they really should be. After cleaning spilled ectoplasm from the vent grates he will finally be done, then he can get on the computer and add BatShadow on Steam. They were going to play Portal 2 together later.
—----
Tim didn't think he would still be talking to ConstellationCruiser. It was unexpected, but not unwelcome. He wouldn't admit it to anyone, (if there was anyone to talk to in the first place), but he was lonely. So, sue him if he got attached to the other kid with too much free time on their hands. They may not have told each other their ages but it wasn't hard to figure out, they talked too similar.
It was nice to really connect with someone his age. ConstellationCruiser was smart like him, just in different areas. He had learned more about the stars and space travel in the last handful of months than he ever had in his 12 years of life. He knows he wasn't any better, going on about hacking and maybe the new murder mystery that came out. It was fun, learning about the other's interests and different things than what's normal for them.
ConstellationCruiser's parents seem to have some type of lab in the basement of their house, which was cool in concept but concerning in practice. There have been times where they had to stop in the middle of a game they were playing together to check on an explosion they heard. It happened more than Tim was comfortable with but there's nothing he can really do about it. It's not like he was anyone better about certain aspects of his life either. He avoided the topic of food as much as possible, though it seems ConstellationCruiser is doing the same thing with the topic.
Tim just hopes the other won't worry over him not responding the next couple of days. He probably should warn them but this is time sensitive. Batman needs a Robin. The man is running himself into the ground. His new found grief choking him and by extension Gotham. He has to convince Nightwing to come back, no matter what it takes.
I need a cooking show with these three as the judges. Please.
Tim too smal
I think it would just be funny if DC made like a HBO Max show or something that’s just the misadventures of their Magic Users.
Like, Zatanna would instantly be the main character, objectively. Her thing could be that she just wants to like- be a regular stage magician but is constantly bombarded with random magic issues.
By association John Constantine would be the acting duo protagonist. I firmly believe he should just be Zatanna’s annoying ex who randomly shows up on her couch. Probably has similar development to his Legends of Tomorrow show counterpart.
Then it’s probably the magic user of the week who summoned an elder god or something. Characters like Ragman and Dr. Fate probably deserve a few focus episodes. There would probably be some magic Atlantan artifact or something that would introduce King Shark. Mainly just to have a romantic plot with John.
Raven and Shazam would weasel their way into “main” character status. Zee and John would probably like- accidentally start raising like a 15-ish Raven, sort of, cuz of the whole Trigon thing. They would probably fight him in a season finale type deal or something.
Billy would just be the biggest chaotic force in the show, would probably have some really amusing scenes as Shazam before he lets them know he’s like barely 14.
Billy would probably bring the seven deadly sins as a plot line with him. So they probably travel to Hell and face/meet them one at a time, working their way to Mammon. Maybe Zatanna gets a cool succubus gf like Chantinelle down there I don’t know.
