THE BARRY POET WAS JUST UNCALLED FOR (please expand on it)

LOOK JUST! IMAGINE 10 YR OLD BARRY ALLEN WAITING AT THE FUNERAL FOR HIS RELATIVES TO SHOW UP! 10 YR OLD BARRY ALLEN WHO CRIES HIMSELF TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT AND TRIES CONVINCE HIMSELF THAT THE FAMILY ARE JUST LATE! A BARRY WHO KNOWS, INTIMATELY, WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE ABANDONED IN YOUR BIGGEST TIME OF NEED!

A BARRY ALLEN WHO TAKES ONE LOOK AT WALLY WEST AND RECOGNIZES THE SIGNS OF SOMEONE WHO HASN’T BEEN GIVEN AS MUCH LOVE AS HE SHOULD HAVE! A BARRY WHO MEETS JASON AND TIM AND FEELS HIS HEART ACHE IN A FAMILIAR PAINFUL WAY!

A BARRY ALLEN WHO KNOWS WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE LEFT BEHIND, SO HE REFUSES TO “GIVE UP” ON ANYONE! BARRY ALLEN, WHO SEES HOW LOST AND CONFUSED NEW LEAGUER’S ARE WHEN THEY FIRST JOIN UP, BECAUSE THEY DON’T KNOW ANYONE HERE OR WHERE ANYTHING IS, AND IMMEDIATELY OFFERS TO HELP THEM!

A FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURHOOD SPEEDSTER WHOSE STILL CONVINCED, DEEP DOWN, THAT NOBODY WANTS HIM BUT, DESPITE THIS, CLINGS TO EVERY FRIENDSHIP HE’S MADE LIKE A LIFELINE BECAUSE HE FIGHTS TO BE POSITIVE AND OPTIMISTIC!

okay I've not read it yet but the bruce/barry/hal fic is every dream come true its literally my otp and has no fics and i love you and im sure the fic will be amazing(i will probably send you another ask after ive read it lol)

One of us! One of us!

@amaztim and I started talking about it like 2 days ago and immediately began writing fanfic and I’m uuuh starving for content.

P l e a s e feel free to start rambling.

right i had a thought. So Captain Boomerang is normally a cental city rogue right? so What if when Boomerang goes after Jack Drake Barry finds out and goes to stop him (plot convenience dont question me) and he gets there too late so what he finds is 15 year old Tim Drake crying helpleaaly over his dead fathers body and it just hits a little too close to home for him (what with nora and all) so he just holds Tim through it (Uncle Barry for the win mayhaps)

yep Digger is normally Barry’s rogue! he only stopped being that when DC had him join the Suicide Squad later on

anyways yeah Barry takes this personally for two reasons now because, 1: Nora Allen flashbacks and 2: haha guess whose gonna blame himself for not being able to stop this from happening!

you got any nyoooom nyoooom bois angst to share???? bc ive currently got this angsty bart thing in my head that i cant write so i figure lets add to it w more flashfam angst ya know how it is

Bart suffers very severely from Imposter Syndrome, because what achievements as he made that are any different from Wally’s or Barry’s? What does he really bring to the table that those two haven’t already done?

Wally is afraid that people will use him to replace Barry when Barry (and god does he hate thinking about this) dies. Because Barry Allen is The Flash and Wally isn’t and he never wanted to be, he just wants to be Wally West with his own hero name and identity.

Barry’s biggest fear is not being fast enough. If he’d gotten home sooner maybe Nora wouldn’t have died, if he’d run just a little bit faster then J’onn wouldn’t have gotten hurt, too slow too slow he needs to be faster faster faster. 

And they all have the same destructive method of coping with these things; laugh to hide your pain, pretend that nothing is wrong, be the comic relief that people need, don’t let them see your weaknesses.

It’s partly the reason they have such a close bond with eachother. They understand more then anyone else ever could.

I had a though!!!!! YJ are on a mission yeah? and bart sees something (anything) that reminds him of his trauma and he freaks out BUT also!!!!!! Hes the funny loud one he cant be upset if he freaks out he'll be letting everyone down. So he tries and tries and tries to ignore it and yet Tim (i mean he is ROBIN so) notices and he conforts bart and they bond and its adorable because my baby deserves better basically timbart friendship is all i need to continue living

Tim is also the BEST DETECTIVE next to Bruce you BET he notices this and waits until they’re alone to approach Bart about it and you BET he mentions how Dick is the same, always feeling like he can’t show his pain around his brother’s because he’s the light-hearted one isnt he? the goofy brother who had the discowing suit, the one who cries over romcom films.

and you BET that Tim clings to Bart, using his cape to cover him up (just like Bruce does for him) and shields him from the world, if only for a little while, so Bart can show weakness and be in a safe place to cry and let everything out

[teatitty]

Do you have any cute bart and wally interaction ideas (or bart and barry) just bc its such a slept on relationship and its adorable and i love it

PIGGY-BACK RIDES! EATING CONTESTS! CHASING EACHOTHER AROUND THE HOUSE AND FIGHTING FOR THE REMOTE! “I’M TELLING IRIS!” “GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE BRAT!” THEIR OWN SECRET HAND-SHAKE! THEY’RE ALWAYS SO FUCKING EXCITED TO SEE EACHOTHER THAT SOMETIMES THEY JUST SCREAM AND POINT AND JUMP UP AND DOWN FOR FIVE MINUTES! WALLY AND BART GET ALONG SO WELL THAT THE BATSONS ARE ALWAYS LIKE “HOW?? WE TRY TO KILL EACHOTHER EVERY OTHER WEEK WHAT DEVIL CONTRACT DO U HAVE!?”

[teatitty]

god you really are attacking me personally with all this bart centric content arent you (please continue)

THE ANONS STARTED IT I JUST GO WITH WHATEVER THEY GIVE ME NAEGSRFDT

I’m not even a huge Bart fan, tbh, that’s all @ivettxwrites I just know about him through osmosis of being Ivy’s friend lol

[teatitty]

that last ask is giving me ideas though mines is where thawne (whichever one) gind bart + barry and wally and then something happens and barry and wally are either unconscious or like tied up through plot convience if nothing else and then bart faces thawne head on and saves jis family and now i want to write it

We need more stories where Bart saves his family and/or friends tbh
