You can’t just tell us about how you have more Central City HCs without immediately telling us what they are!? That can’t be legal.

OKAY WELL BUCKLE UP CUZ THIS IS ALL HC AND PROBABLY NOT THE LEAST BIT CANON-COMPLIANT BUT HERE WE GO

Central actually has a far higher mortality rate than people realize, it’s just incredibly good at covering them up

The citizens have a very morbid sense of humour and absolutely no survival instincts, because fuck you that’s why

It’s canon in Flash Secret Files that the Flash Museum has people dress up as the Rogues and offer science lessons using the Rogues’ own weapons, which is why I think they just, in general, don’t give two shits

The Flash Museum canonically has exhibits detailing other hero team-ups that have involved a Flashfam, including the JL related ones. For this reason, the museum is one of the most historically accurate in terms of Hero legacy

A lot of ex-convicts actually work in the museum, usually recommended by a Flashfam. Some only stay until they get back on their feet, while others are permanent staff, and choose to stay on the payroll

It serves as Central’s main tourist attraction, and many items are assessed and evaluated there

At some point in the future, the entirety of Central City becomes a giant homage to Heroes, and the citizens could not be prouder of this legacy

A hero will never be harassed by paparazzi while in Central, because the citizens are so protective of them as a whole. For this reason, a lot of heroes choose to stay there if they need downtime but still want to be close should any pressing League matters arise

Central City knows a lot of secret identities, including the Flashfam, Batman, Red Hood, Superman, Green Arrow, Black Canary and Hawkgirl. These identities are never written or placed in the museum, and are kept safe-guarded by the citizens

Central was the first city to have a hero convention, and the mayor even sent a letter inviting the JL to attend

Batman was coerced into entering a Bat-cosplay competition. He lost to Clark Kent

Central is officially known as the “city that never stops moving”

Barry never wanted statues in his honour. When the local council decided to erect one anyways, it caused a huge divide within the City and, if not for Wally’s intervention specifically, would have resulted in riots

The consensus was that Wally would have a statue but Barry would not

It’s normal to see people taking selfies during villain attacks. It just happens, don’t worry about it

Digger and Evan have been banned from 10 different bars. None of these bannings were due to violence or drinking

“Captain Cold did it first!” - usually said in reference to someone praising Mr Freeze’s ice tech

Central and Gotham have a rogues gallery rivalry. Don’t think too hard on that one

They just fucking love to party my dude

Central and Metropolis used to fucking hate eachother with a passion

Whenever a Flashfam member dies, a city-wide memorial is held and the museum is closed for a week, as they deem it “disrespectful” for tourists to celebrate that Flashfam’s life so close to the death-date

Of course I follow you too, Also now you’ve got to let me know when you write them because I turned off anon and I gotta read that shit. So have some Jason always regretting the way he treated Tim but he doesn’t know how to tell him so instead he just breaks into Tim’s apartment and leaves him proper food because he knows Tim rarely goes shopping for himself. Tim says to his face that he assumes it’s Dick and Jason doesn’t correct him because he’s convinced that Tim wouldn’t believe him anyway.

YOU REALLY OUT HERE GIVING ME IDEAS FOR DRABBLES HUH? GUESS WHAT, I'M GONNA MAKE A DRABBLE SERIES ON AO3 SOLEY FOR YOUR IDEAS. THANK YOU MUCH FOR THESE AND I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I POST THEM.

Selina making Dick think that something weirdly specific that’s definitely not a normal petname is something really commonly used and he gets really confused when Wally and Kory don’t know he’s talking to them the first time he says it.

the petname was “Plumpkin-Bites” and he’s never felt more betrayed by his mom in his life

Barry being torn because he knows the other Lanterns care about him and cared about Hal even more but sometimes he just can’t bring himself to be around them because every time he sees the uniform it’s just Hal there in front of him and sometimes that’s just too painful to take so he just shuts down because he just doesn’t know what else to do.

He rarely ever shows up on OA. Surprisingly, he finds camraderie with Sinestro, who never thought that Hal would ever die, because he always seemed so impossibly, persistently, unkillable. And neither of them talk about it, neither of them mourn. But when they find out who the culprit was? Barry slips in front of Sinestro, turns a blind eye to the cruelty Sinestro will undoubtably dish out

Barry is a CSI and he has two kinds of powers now. He knows how to hide a body, and how to get rid of evidence

Dick: *does literally anything* Wally: uhuh yep that’s cool, just gimme a second, be right back Dick: *tries not to react to the muffled screaming and swearing he can hear through the door.* Wally: *coming back looking unaffected* So you wanna get a drink with me some time?

Dick’s grinning like a fool and before Wally can even finish the sentence he’s like “yes! Yes absolutely! I mean, er, yeah. Yeah that’d be cool. Super cool”

[teatitty]

Dinah and Oliver being super worried because they know what’s going through Barry’s head and asking him again and again if he’s coping alright but he just can’t because there’s things to do and he know if he breaks down in front of them then he’ll never get it done. It’s just easier when he’s alone to sob and give into it because then he can always wipe his eyes and keep pretending when he goes outside again.

Barry’s afraid that if he breaks then he won’t ever stop, is the thing. Because he could also use his speedforce to slow down time for himself, to keep himself frozen in one moment for years and years and years, never having to face the reality. But he can’t do that. That’d be selfish, and it isn’t what Hal - or anyone else - deserves

So he smokes a little more weed than usual, numbs out the thoughts and the pain. “It’s fine,” he tells himself, “I can deal with it later”

First time Jason sees Barry after coming back from the dead he automatically calls him Uncle Barry and Barry just stops and smiles because he didn’t expect Jason to even really acknowledge him let alone remember how Barry used to take him running around the world so that Jason could see new places and feel the adrenaline rush that running brought.

you know there’s a lot of spoilers about Jason and Barry I can talk about for this but I am Keeping My Shout Shut

DC AU where Bruce’s surname isn’t Wayne it’s Pratt and the real reason it takes until Dick is an adult to get adopted is because he refuses to ever be called Dick Pratt.
