my favourite bart moment will forever be the one max explains he gets bored waiting for the light to turn on. its such a weirdly melancholic moment. its a moment of solidarity from max and newfound understanding from carol and helen. its kinda funny but it also makes you understand him better

there are a lot of moments that are top notch but this one stays with me

The boy's ambient speed is faster than light. It really does put some things into perspective about Bart and why he is like that.

i love all the aus where thad has a happy ending and stays with max & helen & bart because how tf would they explain that to bart’s civilian friends. how would they account for the sudden appearance of a long lost twin brother. bart and carol stay up all night workshopping possible explanations and write a whole soap opera about how they were separated at birth that’s frankly more ridiculous and unbelievable than the real story. preston decides that enough crazy shit has happened in bart’s life that he HAS to make a documentary about it and ‘shadows’ bart to get day in the life content. cue incredibly typical close-call shenanigans featuring bart shoving his costume in a closet while preston’s back is turned, talking about ‘his cousin wally west from keystone city- OH HAHA not THAT wally west,’ etc etc. this is how preston finally accidentally finds out that he’s impulse, because after bart does everything he can to keep it secret thad just shows up in his inertia costume and waves hi. preston is less mad about the whole impulse thing than he is about the fact that now he can’t share his documentary

hey *snaps fingers* HEY. DONT 4GET ABOUT CAROL BUCKLEN

ignore that i didnt give her the right glasses i uhhhhh i didnt look up referances hahaha,sf,,,ds,,,,,,,,,,,,

[pinkbelugacollective]

it’s the fact that he was so young but so, so powerful. it’s the fact that he doesn’t know how to show affection by conventional means. it’s the fact that because he’s different that it takes a crisis for him to realize that the love was always there. to think that twenty years later, bendis would snort the same cocaine dezago did back in 2001 😭

Flash Family Reunion 2

Barry: What did you get Bart for his birthday?

Wally: Linda and I got him a dog.

Barry: No way! So did me and Iris!

Jessie: I also got Bart a dog!

Max: Looks like we had the same idea.

Wally: Carol! Please tell me you didn't get Bart a dog as well!

Carol: I got him a puppy!

Bart: (sitting on the ground, surrounded by dogs)

Bart: THIS IS THE BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!

I feel like I see so many contrasting opinions on jobs for Bart when he’s older, ranging from scientist, super suit designer, cop (ew), unemployed and bouncing between part time things, etc. Honestly of those I know my personal favorites are fashion design and kinda bouncing between part time courier jobs (he’s never seemed like a full time kinda person to me tbh).

But I got to thinkin about it, what is one thing that we know Bart loves more than most other things? Video Games.

I propose this, indie video game designer/freelance artist Bart.

It makes sense in my head, Bart’d be bitching to Preston or Kon about how he’s beat like an ungodly amount of games and is getting bored/needs something new to play. They would make an offhand comment, joking about making one himself and I think he would find the idea intriguing. (Or honestly Helen could have suggested it after listening to Max get on Bart about needing to do something responsible to make a living & Bart shutting down).

I think that between hero work it would give him a creative outlet for his hyperfixations. Plus he’d probably have a blast figuring it all out. The first couple of games would be simple, figuring out the basics, but after those I can see him getting like really focused on a passion project game that he fully codes and illustrates. (He probably makes a young justice game, or skins in the games of his friends)

He’d definitely become a hit in the indie gaming community for the unique controls and mechanics in his games. People would reach out and ask him to help make their games, and eventually people would just start becoming really excited for whatever project he was working on.

Meanwhile he’s still just chilling with his friends in his free time, letting them playtest his games and taking suggestions on what the funniest easter egg could be. I think he’d mostly be couch surfing, hopping between staying with friends and “family” members on a whim. Usually chilling wherever the YJ was or hanging out at Carol, Preston, or Rolly’s.

Just feels more fun than him being a DC brand of “scientist” (no specific generalization or study) or cop (again ew). Plus he could still design hero suits while doing this (i like that headcanon, its fun)

Drawing them with a baby yesterday made me think about if I thought Prestonbart would have kids and the answer is not necessarily but IF they were to have a kid, it would be in this sort of constellation. Carol decides to have a kid, asks Bart and/or Preston to be a known donor, they discuss this with each other and eventually decide yeah, a kid sounds rad, but they'd like to be properly involved, as dads not just fun uncles. So -- et voilà -- three parent family. Also, the free space in this image bothers me immensely.

[plutoslvr]

i don't think dc could ever release anything better than impulse 1995 like that was their best nothing can touch it in my eyes. like the intricate and personal relationships between bart and the people around him like max, helen, preston, carol etc him just BEING a kid whilst also being impulse and eventually settling down into a strange unfamiliar world and like even the relationship between him and thad because each of barts relationships goes further than skin deep and because he doesn't think too much about them either but he does at the same time too and it's just something to special to me that i fear nobody understands because bart allen impulse is such a complex character i could talk about forever about his relationships between each of the people in his lives cuz even if they seem insignificant bart makes them significant and i'll just shut up now.

There so much in this shot I love.

Ayana - hopelessly crushing on Bart Mike - Hopelessly crushing on Carol Carol - Wondering what sorts of feelings she should have about Cissie Cissie - Wondering why Carol is lookin' at her like that Bart and Preston - exchanging fucking rings for this dance and it's very gay looking

Wade - being the aroace rep out of all of this and just having a blast playing Zelda and ignoring all this damn teenage nonsense.

[blackbatcass]

actually I’m not over it can we talk about how carol knows bart’s mom better than he does. can we talk about how meloni got to care for and look after carol for weeks/months and be an actual mother figure to her which is something bart has never and will never get to have. can we.
