Barry lived his entire childhood and well into adulthood with the mindset of someone who knew his words and accounts of events wouldn't be believed. He was the boy who cried wolf, the one who "lied" to protect his "murderous" father, the crazy kid who hallucinated magical lightning during his mother's murder. A mindset like that, even in the face of proof of his account of his mother's death and validation of his experience, does not go away easily. The instinct to keep things to himself, the instinct to think "no one would believe me if I told them", would not just go away. Which is why I think Barry should have lied to Wells and the team about having powers! Not for very long, he should eventually be forced to come to them for help for some reason or another. But I think his instinct would be to conceal, not reveal.

#i think barry should be a good liar! i'm tired of cw protagonists being horrible liars for the sake of comedy#i don't think barry should be a habitual liar or anything because i don't think it aligns with his morals#but when it comes to himself? oh brother#AND YOUCAN'T JUST. ERASE YEARS OF EMOTIONAL TRAUMA AND THEIR IMPACT#but I will say. within canon. i do think Barry's insistence towards sharing the truth is very yummy!#he's never believed but he won't just _not_ say something!#He called out plenty of suspicious characters even knowing his team's history for not believing him#and his own long history of trauma with being the boy who cried wolf. Because his morals compelled him to#<- MHMMMM#really the key for me is that barry should be able to lie about HIMSELF or how he’s feeling#exactly as you say in these wonderful tags prev#i can live with him being unable to lie about other stuff. and especially being unable to tolerate injustice#but stuff like his emotional state? yeah no he should be a PRO at hiding that#if they really wanted the comedy they could say that barry is a good liar about everything EXCEPT his feelings for iris#but also he should refuse to tolerate dishonesty in others and be unforgiving in rooting it out. which the show only really hints at tbh#barry in general should be more ruthless than the show portrays#not necessarily in an oliver way but like. dude was disbelieved for YEARS about something TRUE. his DAD was FALSELY ARRESTED#dishonesty should be a hard red line for him EVERY TIME. earning his trust after that should be NIGH-IMPOSSIBLE#it should bring out the worst in him. he should have a chip on his shoulder as big as dylan's from the nysm movies#wait actually that's a really fun au idea hold on#barry allen#the flash

My personal goal is to try and make fanfic binding as accessible to everyone as possible, so here are some resources on how to make a fanfic hardcover for under $25.

This is a barebones bind for the broke college students and such. Happy to field questions, too!

Here's a proposed budget breakdown:

Loosely organized thoughts:

Fanfic bookbinders often share typesets amongst each other. Never pay for a typeset for a fanfic.

You'll hear a lot about grain direction for your printer paper, but as a newbie on a budget without your own printer, settle for some nice 92 bright paper. If you like the hobby, splurge after but expect to pay at least 2-3x more for short grain paper.

Printing is a pain because some copy shops won't let you print intellectual property smut, and it's very expensive. You are better off bartering instead or looking for a free printer on Buy Nothing.

You know the thick paper wrapping that comes with online orders? It's a good weight for endpapers if you need to scrounge. Paper grocery bags or gift bags (birthday presents) might work, too.

Ask your local library to give you covers from books they are throwing out. Ask for outdated textbooks (those covers are built like tanks) or three-ring binders that are too busted to be binders anymore.

Obtain a used book that was mass produced (so your destruction of it does not impede anyone's access) and maybe even become a little vindictive with it.

If you can afford it, I recommend the Olfa SVR knife (~$10)

If you can afford it, upgrade your ruler to a t-square.

I really hope this resource is helpful! I want to stress how possible this is and encourage people to cherish what they love through art.

If you are interested in fanfic binding and have a little more disposable income, I have an affordable Fan Fiction Bookbinding Starter Pack that I carry on my site. I pack them myself and drop them 1x/month on the 15th.

This is such a great resource for anyone starting out fanbinding!

This whole project was heavily inspired by the work of Lina Shamoon/ Mirrors by Lina (website here, check out her very cool and much higher quality work). My spin on things is definitely not made as well as her stuff, but I'm still loving the effect.

[VD: A video of an installation project. A corner of a house is shown, with green walls and two windows and lots of plants. In the center is a multitude of differently colored disco balls, around the size of an orange on average, hanged from the ceiling with thin gold chains, arranged to look like the solar system. The installation is spinnable, and as the disco balls hang between the windows, they reflect the golden light streaming in, creating colorful little lights everywhere. An emotional piano piece plays in the background. End VD]

“Snart gets turned on likes when Barry does something bad” and “Snart thinks that Barry shouldn’t turn bad” are two canon facts that can and should coexist

[id. A twitter post by @/Bennieeexyz Jury duty letter came addressed to my cat. Not a mistake. "Felix Martinez" - that's his full name according to his vet records. My last name. His first name. Somehow he's a registered voter now. Called the county clerk. Me: My cat got summoned for jury duty. Clerk: Is the name correct on the summons? Me: Yes, but he's a cat. Clerk: Is Felix Martinez a legal resident of this county? Me: He's a legal cat. Clerk: Sir, if the name matches our records, he needs to appear or file an exemption. Me: He can't file anything. He has paws. Clerk: You can file on his behalf. Me: Under what exemption? There's no box for "is a cat." Clerk: (pause) Check "unable to serve due to medical reasons." Me: What's the medical reason? Clerk: He's a cat. Me: That's not a medical condition. Clerk: It is if it prevents him from serving. Sent in the form. Got rejected two weeks later. "Insufficient documentation. Please provide medical professional's statement." Took the letter to my vet. Me: I need you to write that my cat can't do jury duty. Vet: Why is your cat summoned for jury duty? Me: Excellent question. No good answer. Vet: This is the weirdest request I've gotten. Me: Can you just write that he's medically unfit to serve? Vet: On what grounds? Me: He's a cat. Vet: (started typing) "Patient is unable to serve due to species-related limitations including inability to speak, read, or comprehend legal proceedings." Me: Perfect. Sent it in. Got another rejection. "Summons is mandatory. Failure to appear will result in contempt of court." My roommate thought this was hilarious. Roommate: Felix is going to jail. Me: This is serious. Roommate: Bring him to court. See what happens. Decided that was actually the only option left. Day of jury duty, put Felix in his carrier. Brought the entire paper trail of rejection letters. Checked in at the courthouse. Clerk: Name? Me: Felix Martinez. Clerk: (looked at the cat carrier) Is that Felix? Me: Yes. Clerk: (long stare) He's a cat. Me: I've been saying that for six weeks. Clerk: Why didn't you file an exemption? Me: I filed three. All rejected. Showed her the letters. She read through them, expression shifting from confusion to disbelief. Clerk: Someone rejected the veterinary documentation? Me: Twice. Clerk: (called her supervisor over) You need to see this. Supervisor read everything. Looked at Felix. Looked at me. Supervisor: How did a cat get registered to vote? Me: You tell me. Supervisor: This is a data error. Me: Took you six weeks to figure that out. They dismissed Felix immediately. Apologized for the inconvenience. Supervisor: We'll remove him from the voter registry. Me: Appreciate it. Supervisor: (pause) Out of curiosity, how would he have voted? Me: Probably whatever party supports universal treats. Got a formal apology letter a week later and a voter registration card. For me this time. Apparently I wasn't registered, but my cat was. Roommate: Felix committed voter fraud. Me: Felix committed nothing. He's innocent. Roommate: That's what they all say. Felix is sleeping on the jury summons now. Fitting end to his legal career. end id]
