The Flash (2023): “I have to get my powers back.” […]“So… I guess the plan is to douse yourself in industrial chemicals while electrocuting yourself?”

"It's like living amongst the dead." "Is that what you told yourself? When you killed me?"

Damn...I blame the tumblr savibarrys for this but fic posted. I haven't even rewatched season 3 yet I just went right to writing porn 😭

[punkymutant]

Savitar had his issues as a villain but "The only way to defeat the villain of this season is to stop wanting to hurt yourself" goes super duper hard especially in the wake of 3A's plot being "character with self loathing issues makes the biggest mistake of his life". Like oooh what a combo!

Sometimes in life you do something that people cannot forgive you for -> You have to let it go and forgive yourself anyways -> If you don't, your self flaggelation will lead you to hurt the people you care about, either directly or indirectly because they care about you -> Self sabotage is a coping mechanism that can create a vicious cycle -> Hating yourself is not a harmless habit and you have to kick it if you want to have a future worth having

"Maybe I get off on watching you grovel."

[redstonedust]

its good to acknoweldge the hollowness of revenge but sometimes you really do just need a story about someone who gets hurt and then kills and kills and kills and kills their enemies. its cathartic, babey.

[awesome-chameleon]

"there's nothing that can bring my loved one back, so there's no point in killing you" and "there's nothing that can bring my loved one back, so there's nothing that can save you" are two themes that can and should co-exist

[punkymutant]

Anyways so my arrowverse au which I called Earth -1 but I will be renaming as I think of a story name is essentially like. The same as Earth 1 but the Miracle (when Barry Allen was struck by lightning and came back as the first speedster and first known metahuman) (Called so because the creators of The Flash's opening theme described that as being the feeling they were trying to encapsulate) was maybe a Bad Miracle.

Barry comes back and its a joyous thing at first but within a short period of time they start to realize he kind of Came Back Wrong because either Barry really did die or going into the Speed Force changes someone so radically that it might as well not be him and in the end Barry becomes the antagonist.

OK UPDATE I paused writing this to see if I had more info about it in my notes app and I wrote an EPIC POEM ABOUT IT lmao @ past me i love you

I actually do think it’s better for abusers and abusive characters to realize the harm their past actions caused and seek to do better than be literally or metaphorically executed for their crimes

I think my thing with David is that even in fics, I need him to be a point of "failure" for Charles. Like even if Charles is around to raise him, even if he is a little successful in helping David, there still has to be some degree in which it's a losing battle. Charles is order and convention and David is chaos and oddness. Charles Xavier who can solve any problem and connect with anyone can't do the same for his own son, when it's needed the most. I need for him to reach the stumbling block of mental illness and neurodivergency and just hit the limit of his patience and empathy, even if he himself has experienced either of those things.

David and co. ultimately have to save themselves, figure themselves out, find a way to move past trauma without the help of the one guy who is supposed to be able to help. I'd accept a sliding scale of Charles-as-a-father from well meaning to blithely selfish but always he should be ineffectual.

Do you think the writers even knew how deep of a hole they dug themselves into?

Barry finds out Thawne had cameras at every significant location in his and his loved ones’ lives (one of them pointed directly at Eddie’s bed btw), and had been stalking him for fifteen years. Jesse was held captive for months if not a year, oh, and also tortured, that happened too. Caitlin’s husband died six months ago, and she’s a little sad but dw we’ve got a shiny new love interest for her. Oh Iris’s fiancé died too, on the same day, in a rather violent and traumatic manner. Cisco’s powers were activated by him repeatedly reliving his own death. “When it rains I can still feel where you shot me with those arrows” said TWO WEEKS after his spine was snapped (<- said snapped spine incident also involved mass public humiliation and other injuries). THE PIPELINE. Oh, Caitlin’s love interest didn’t work out? He kidnapped her, killed her doppelgänger in front of her, and threatened to kill her and all of her friends? Jesse gets the same powers as the person who kidnapped her. Iris’s mom is actually alive but oh wait not anymore; this will never be brought up again. Barry’s mom was murdered four days after his birthday. “I watched you die, Barry. You kept dying, your heart kept stopping.” Barry got disintegrated trying to get his powers back, and everyone he loves saw this. Wally got disintegrated too btw, and then had to watch his mother die over and over in a time loop. Iris thinks she’s going to die for months and then someone sacrifices themself for her against her will. You can’t count the number of times all of these people have seen someone they care about in mortal danger. Barry manages to trace any and every horrible thing that happens back to his actions. “This was done TO ME.”

when cisco loves someone, it's to the point of invention. when caitlin loves someone, that person is her whole world. when barry loves someone, they become his home. when iris loves someone, she'll believe in the impossible for them. just. the different ways the core four express love, subtly and explicitly, especially in regard to their dynamics specifically? aghhh. bestieship blast
