the thing about moonshot is that ray clearly wants to be thawne’s friend or even coworker So Badly. like all of their interactions are undercut with this line of “we would get along so well if we didn’t fundamentally disagree with each other”, like, the sheer restrained delight that ray has going on at throwing around buzzwords with someone that Gets It. and then ray literally running to get thawne’s answer, thawne already knowing what he’s going to ask, and ray staking his life on it— ray puts his life in thawne’s hands multiple times in that episode and barely hesitates. and then in doomworld, ray is one of the ones thawne keeps for himself, under his jurisdiction. thawne doesn’t want to admit it, but it’s mutual. they would never cross to the other’s side but god help us all if they somehow did end up working together for an extended period of time. imagine sara just uses the spear to take thawne’s powers away and they bring him along on the waverider or something. i need unlikely science besties thawne and ray please please please
