we as a community should be more insane over wally’s relationship with joan garrick i think. she says continually that she sees wally as a grandson to the point where a group of villains mistakenly thought that jay was actually wally’s grandfather. she was his one connection to the legacies of the previous flashes during the time when jay and barry and iris were all dead. she has pictures of him as a kid in photo albums. she moved from keystone to new york to be with his mom when they thought he had died. wally says he likes talking to joan more than he likes talking to his own mother and feels more comfortable with her.

since i have to do everything around here does it not fuck anyone else up that the parallels between naegi and sakura are so fucking tragic in how naegi has spent the rest of his life doing nothing but endlessly sacrificing himself even for people who by all means didnt deserve it and how the person he considered the strongest he has ever known decided to kill herself in an attempt to maintain that hope, how sakura was so easily able to forgive and chose to martyr herself because she believed they could make it past this, that her sacrifice will have meaning in ensuring her friends survive. how naegi's borderline deification by the wider DR world as the ultimate hope has him running himself ragged to fix it because he just happened to be the only one capable of stopping junko. how he was the only one who was strong enough for it. how he was equally Too strong in the face of overwhelming odds and he's continued to pay the price for it. sakuras goal of being the strongest not really lying in proving her strength to the world but to protect the legacy of someone close to her and naegi doing the exact same thing in carrying the deaths of all his friends, only incidentally becoming the savior of the world.

naegi/sakura parallels are so damn good and tragic, man. they are so fundamentally similar it hurts when you realize that the only true difference in why naegi is the one who survived lies in how sakura just happened to be the unlucky one blackmailed by monokuma.

Happy Birthday to Roy Harper! By Denise Zhang

[optichocolate]

some warmth for atsushi because he has suffered enough

[optichocolate]

Roy Harper being one of the best dads in DC universe while also being the number one hater of Batman as a father is how the world heals actually

what i love about the dc absolute universe is that it’s not an edgy version of these characters, they’re not attempting a “what if your favourite hero was a bad guy”. no, instead it tells us that the circumstances in which these heroes become are so different and sometimes so adverse and YET they choose to be heroes, they choose kindness, compassion, justice and truth. That it doesn’t matter how you’re brought in to the world, it matters what you do when you have the opportunity and circumstance to do better. at its core that’s exactly what wonder woman, superman and batman represent.

Absolute flash won't come out in sooo long and yet my brain won't stop thinking about it...

Anyways we got some pictures and I'm gonna analyze the hell out of them like the nerd I am. So, first things first. We got this image when absolute flash was first announced and I saw some people trying to guees what it meant and that maybe the figure around Wally was Barry. But I think it's Wally himself in this pictures. What that means I have no idea, but you can see three figures around him and I think the haircut of this person is kinda similarto Wally's own? He looks tormented by the figure which is not cool, but hey it's not the flash if Wally doesn't suffer a little amiright?

In the second image he looks really shocked to have powers which means he probably wasn't born with them. The image on the bottom panel kinda supports my theory that these red things are Wally's powers. Either it's an stylistic choice, a new spin on the speedforce, or he's being possessed by something. Could be all three.

His fear on these images could be because his powers hurt him, which is likely the reason, BUT! I'm gonna venture and say that in this universe, being a metahuman is illegal, or simply very very bad. We go this image of the rouges looking badass and my initial thought was that they were assossiated with the government somehow. I think they could be paid in order to do certain things (probably hunting metas?) and getting paid for it. Maybe they are even viewed as superheroes!

I'm so excited to see them in action. So far we can see Golden Glider, Captain Cold, Captain Boomerang, and Trickster? I think? Probably a new character cause it looks like a woman.

And finally my favorite page.

Here we get Wally talking to... someone. I actually have no idea who this is. It gives me uncle Ben vibes, but he looks to old be Barry. And since this is a story where the heroes are doing BADLY I assume it's not Jay either. The only way I could see it being either of those two is if they die OR wally won't see them anymore. The last panel being all black makes me think they are telling Wally something shocking, or maybe they are sending him away?

It could also be Rudy...? Wally has green eyes, and the guy has brown eyes, though. Besides, Rudy and this guy look nothing alike and it's... weird seeing him being so chill. Have we ever seen Rudy actually sit down and talk to Wally in a nice way? At least this guy looks chill, though he IS pretty big. Look how tiny wally loooks in comparison. Sure hope he won't turn him in to the Rouges or something.

The third possible option is that this is a foster parent? Maybe Ira West took him in? Could be a totally new character, the point is that he takes care of Wally. Maybe Rudy and Mary died, or they were clearly abusive in here? The second option doesn't sound too far-fetched... The writer has complete freedom over this story considering it's like a canon AU, so anything could happen. This guy could be an alien for all we know. A manifestation of the speedforce? A memory? A nightmare? Who knows...
