Chasing the Impossible

"Friction impossible, get it? Like Mission: Impossible, but with friction, the resistant force to motion, and I've been, you know, chasing the impossible all my life. So. Friction impossible." * [Indie semi-selective Barry Allen/The Flash RP blog. CW-verse.]

candicekp You were incredible Patrick! Loved seeing your performance in #Disgraced. Going to be thinking about this play for a while. #familyouting

if one wishes to contact the Flash or otherwise get him messages or items, what's the best way to go about this?

“If you have a problem, you should take it to the police. They can contact me, or handle it themselves. Besides, I have ways of finding people who need my help.”

Her expression softened, “all I can say is no one is perfect Barry. Even I have flaws” she smiled again though. It was sweet of him to say that though, even if it made her wonder why. A pout quickly took over her features when he questioned how anyone was going to see the streak like she wanted too. “He might be, I can ask him the next time he comes by” she smirked before sighing, “if he’d answer any of my questions. I mean I get it that he’s gotta keep his identity a secret but really just one would be nice. And even so, as fast as he moves that’s just it, people have seen him. As a flash or blur, or just for a few seconds before he speeds off but he’s been seen and more people are believing.” That much she did know, not many people…yet, but she was determined to find out more

“Yeah... sometimes you do steal my fries.”

“O-oh? He’s still meeting with you, huh?” He shouldn’t, he really shouldn’t, but-- “What’s he like? And are you sure you should be talking to him? Maybe he can’t be trusted.” Besides that, he really should start paying more attention to what other people were saying about him. Iris wasn’t the only one talking about him online. At this point, she probably knew more about his public image than he did.

BASICS name: Jem age: 23 pronouns:  They/them/their sexuality:  asexual zodiac sign: uhhh taurus i think? taken or single:  single :D three facts:  Favorite comic is Saga, favorite game is Skyrim, favorite speedster is actually Bart Allen, sshhh don’t tell my muses

EXPERIENCE platforms you’ve used: chatrooms, message boards, paper (some friends passed notes in class. mine passed rps), livejournal, and tumblr best experience: this one Marvel group I was with for over a year how’d you start: Almost a decade ago, I found an X-Men fansite that also had an rp group on the side. Been hooked ever since. .

MUSE PREFERENCES female or male:  Male. Most of my muses have been male, 30+, absurdly intelligent, and comics canon characters. Barry is a slight deviation (younger, and I don’t have much knowledge on his comics counterpart) and I’m not sure I’m doing him right, tbh. favourite face:  as in, face claim? Right now it’s either Tom Cavanagh or Peter Capaldi least favourite face: None multi or single:  Multi ship in multi verse.

WRITING PREFERENCES fluff, angst or smut: Any, but smut only with 18+ (mun AND muse) and extreme violence/whump/gore only with 16+ (mun AND muse) plots or memes: Either, but I do love plots best time to write: night are you like your muse(s): Not hugely so. I’m nerdy and awkward, but that’s about it. Oh, and I too have crushed majorly hard on Iris West and Harrison Wells.

I TAG: @strandedinthistime, @timxtopaythxpipxr, @believeinxtheimpossible, @thevigilanteofstarling, @oflaptopsandlattes, @sweater-stealer, @worthbeingontimefor,  @youstolemypurse, and whoever else wants to do this thing.

believeinxtheimpossible replied to your post “Sighhh. Did not get as much done as I’d hoped. Drafts:...”

(Welcome back darling no worries! Glad to see you on my dash again!)

Thank you! <3 Glad to be back!

A laugh leaves Bart as his eyes light up. His invitation to play had obviously been accepted, and he looked forward to the fun. He’s shot off before Barry has even finished speaking, leaving a red and yellow blur behind and running right through a wall using his gifts. It’s obvious he knows what he’s doing, and probably knows the area as well, because right after that he continues down an alleyway while making a sharp turn. To show off a bit, he even runs on the wall-side.

“If you catch me then maybe I’ll talk. Until then eat my dust!”

[frictionimpossible-blog]

Barry’s hands grab empty air. He’s already correcting himself even before he lands, but the new guy is even faster than he expected. Barry twists and nearly falls over his own feet trying to run after the kid. He catches himself on the table.  “Oh, that is it.”

Not just a speedster, but an experienced one, who likes to show off. Well, Barry could show off too. His confidence is quickly dampened when he runs right into the wall, rather than through it. He hasn’t quite mastered that trick yet. He recovers quickly and charges after the intruder. The other speedster runs along the wall, just a few feet in front of Barry and over his head, just barely out of reach. Barry attempts a tackles but finds himself bouncing off the wall instead.

[frictionimpossible-blog]

Sighhh. Did not get as much done as I’d hoped.

Drafts: @strandedinthistime, @believeinxtheimpossible, @sweater-stealer, @worthbeingontimefor, @purgatoryoathkeeper, and @iamthefirechild.

Going forward, I will be on a few times a week, at least, and there might be an open starter call going up sometime soon. Loads of great new people around and I can’t wait to rp with you all! <3

As he had turned away and left a tense silence in the air after Barry’s question about the particle accelerator, he couldn’t help but grin with his face turned away from Barry’s. As he was touching Barry’s arm, he saw the blush coming to the boy’s cheeks, the longing look in his eyes… Barry liked him. Even if he may not be completely conscious of those feelings yet. That would definitely prove to be useful, and allowed for Wells to change his tactics and his plans a little bit. He was going to seduce Barry, get what he wanted out of him the same way he did with Hartley.

His face softened, though, at Barry’s kind words. It was pretty evident that, if they weren’t before, Barry’s doubts about him were now fading. And there it was again… Trusting, naive Barry, so different than the one from Thawne’s future. “Despite the truly supernatural nature of our lives these last few months, Barry… Life is definitely not a comic book. Sometimes there isn’t always a way to save everyone you meet, there’s no writers to guide you out of each bad situation you find yourself in, no artists to draw gratuitous butt shots of you, there’s just you. I understand that it’s hard to lose sometimes, hard to watch people die, but unfortunately that’s part of the path you’ve chosen for yourself, and gives you all the more reason to put your all into saving the ones that can be saved.”

Wells wheeled his way back over to Barry, smiling pleasantly. “Just the fact that you try so hard, see the best in even our most dangerous and irredeemable enemies, feel such guilt when you fail, says a lot about who you are, Barry. You’re a good man, a hero, and not just because you put on a suit and save lives. And no promises on the drunken videos,” Wells added with a smirk.

[frictionimpossible-blog]

Barry’s face flushed at the mention of gratuitous butt shots. Oh, that would be dreadful, especially with the costume Cisco had made for him. Barry liked the costume, of course, he felt powerful and unstoppable when he put it on; better than a physical defense, it felt like donning a mental shield. But the thought of anyone checking him out made him uncomfortable. It reminded him that despite his new superpowers, under all that red leather he was still the same old awkward, nerdy Barry Allen. Romantically, people seemed to find him attractive until about five seconds after he opened his mouth.

He also realized that implied Dr. Wells had some level of familiarity with comic books. And that was a different kind of weird, a more delightful kind. Barry leaned forward, elbows in his lap and hands dangling loosely between his legs. “How do you always know what to say?” he asked softly, a hint of a more genuine smile playing at the corners of his mouth. “I might not have any writers to guide me, but at least I’ve got you. And Cisco, and Caitlin. I know I wouldn’t be able to do any of this without you guys. Not just having powers, but knowing how to use them.”

Overall, he was grateful that his wandering footsteps led him to S.T.A.R. Labs early, and immensely grateful that Wells had let him stay. He didn’t feel worthy of that high praise, although he decided to make it a standard he would strive to reach. Let Dr. Wells’ highest expectations for him become his personal goal. He let out a startled laugh at that last remark. “Please! Don’t put a camera on me, I do not do well in front of cameras.” He ran a hand through his hair, ducking his face to hide his flustered grin.

[frictionimpossible-blog]

[ for the muse ] what's the worst date you've ever been on, or the worst dating experience you've ever had?

“It was all my fault. I was late, and I went to the wrong place, and I knocked her drink all over the floor, and then I accidentally compared her to a mantis shrimp--it was supposed to be flattering, okay? She left after yelling for a bit.

Um. There was also this guy in college who told me I didn’t act as ‘twink’ as he thought I would. That was awkward.”

[frictionimpossible-blog]

[ for the muse ] what does your room look like?

“Great! It looks great. Did Joe send you? Or Iris? Because I definitely cleaned it--uh, just now. Great!”

[frictionimpossible-blog]

[ headcanon ] What jewellery do you wear on a regular basis, if any? Does it hold a particular significance for you?

“I’m not a jewellery guy. Sometimes I wear a watch, when it works. I keep breaking it.”

[frictionimpossible-blog]

[ headcanon ] What's your usual hair care regimen? Do you wash your hair every day, or every couple days? Long, or short? Natural, or coloured? Do you spend a lot of time styling it, or let it do whatever? If you engage in combat, what do you do with it? What's your favourite hairstyle?

“Uh? I have some gel and a hairbrush. And…” He ran a hand through his hair, trying to mentally sort through that barrage of questions. This wasn’t his usual type of interrogation. “Isn’t this more of a celebrity question?”

Barry looked around for help. It seemed none was forthcoming. He sighed. “No, it doesn’t take long to do my hair. Super-speed, remember? I only dyed it once, in high school. Just ask Iris, that was a mistake. What else–oh, combat. I wear a cowl, so it gets a little messy.”
