Lost Relatives
Maddie Fenton is Iris West's sister, the two lost communication after Maddie focused on her inventions; Hoping to reconnect with her sister, Iris invites her to her wedding.
When the Fentons show up at the wedding, the only way Barry can describe them is...eccentric. He didn't expect his bride-to-be's family to be so quirky, though he didn't mind Iris's request, he hoped they could reconnect.
That was until he was near Danny Fenton and felt the Speedforce lean toward him. Almost as if it was calling out to him. Danny looked at Barry curiously but didn't comment on it. Barry wondered if there was a flaw in the Speedforce.
Danny had a bad feeling about the wedding ever since he saw Clockwork grinning like a maniac after he mentioned the event to him.
He clearly didn't expect to find the "criminals who keep altering space-time" that Clockwork kept complaining about. He wondered if he could feign ignorance until the end of the event.
#dpxdc#Maddie is Iris sister#So technically Barry is now Jazz and Danny's uncle#ghost king danny#Clockwork is the only one having fun#He kinda hate the Speedsters#The Speedforce is acting like that because Danny is the Ghost King#and the Speedforce is a domain of the Realms#Danny is also an anomaly that cannot be affected by spacetime due to Clockwork's compliance#or rather the watch that was trapped in his body#dp x dc#dc x dp#Barry just got a weird family#although they are not bad people#Wait till he meet Danny's kids#poor guy doesn't stand a chance against Dan and Ellie

Hey, @biterflies ? This is equal parts terrifying and beautiful and exactly the kind of energy I want to see
^ this is a fucking masterpiece
Also the idea that the speedforce creates speedsters so that it can experience adventure and love and humanity is just... wow.
It kinda reminds me of two things. I read a short story one time about a godling that had to live hundreds of thousands of human lives before it was mentally ready to fully ascend to godhood. This kinda gives me those vibes. Like the speedforce is trying to gain sentience through the speedsters. It's trying to understand emotion.
It also reminds me of Bart and his Scouts. Because that's... exactly what Bart does. He uses his energy to make a new person with individual thoughts and feelings and he sends them out into the world to experience things. Then he reabsorbs them to gain that knowledge and experience. Bart literally does this but on a smaller scale.
the more I learn about the Flashfam from you, the more I think it would make a really interesting horror comic if only DC were brave enough to go through with it
I think if this announcement of a new writer had happened when the current writer had finished his run, I would feel differently about it.
Because, yeah, I would genuinely like to see this kinda stuff explored. The Flash mythos is insane and it's pretty dark at times.
It seems like the new writer will dip into that a little bit, which is great, but I'm not really sold on the idea of horror for horrors sake. I'm super into the idea of using horror to flesh out the lore and see how that impacts the characters but just random horror? I'm just not into it.
I don't know. It'll really depend on what the plot is. If it's just throwing Wally into random spooky situations then I'm 'meh'.
If it's Wally confronting his inhumanity and the eldritch being that is the speedforce? I'm here for it.
But again, I'm not into horror for horror's sake. So this'll hinge on the plot for me.
#i go back and forth when it comes to speedforce sentience#flash writers leave it ambiguous. some imply yes. some imply no. some just straight up say that Barry is the speedforce#it's weird. and very up to interpretation#but i like the idea that it wasn't sentient. it really really wasn't. but there were just so many speedsters with so many emotions#that it started to gain sentience#and then it started to crave it#and i kinda like to twist canon a bit and say that Barry was the tipping point#maybe he didn't create the speedforce itself. maybe he created what it became. Barry fundamentally changed it. Barry gave it life#and so the speedforces 'brain' is kinda modeled off of Barry's#which is why people say barry is the speedforce. cause he is. hes made of it and its made of him.#also why the speedforce REALLY REALLY likes the people Barry likes and REALLY REALLY hates the people Barry hates#also kinda my explanation for the negative speedforce cause high-key it doesn't make sense.#but if its just normal speedforce modeled off of someone else's brain? suddenly it does#anyway this is all theories and speculation cause the Flash lore doesn't like to explain itself. they just say something off the wall#and then ignore that theyve just said the craziest shit imaginable

Every single day I think about your post about bots being freaky xenophiles about humans it is my Roman empire
Heheheh I'm glad you guys like it but here's some other funny ideas I have of humans being stupid little creatures forgetting that the bots are literally Alien robots.
- getting smoochy with one of the Bots and attempting to fondle them, you slap their headlight and their horn honks, scaring not only you but the bot themself, it kinda ruins the mood but it's worth the laugh afterwards.
- specifically an Optimus Prime one. Having to tell this bot to get a power wash before he's allowed to sleep with you becuase God forbid you have to lay beside him because all you can smell is diesel and it makes your stomach churn so badly. He will grumble about it but if it means he gets to cuddle and hold you of a night you can bet your boots he is squeaky clean. (Also leads to alot of bathroom fun)
- taking any of the speedsters to a show and shine, it's like a fuckin car porn show and the bots are just stunned. Rodimus is having the time of his life literally having humans touching every inch of him as they admire his paint and engine. He loves it even more when you get the bucket of water out. It becomes something he regularly ask you to go do with him becuase he loves having you dressed up all nice and showing him off. In more than one way the praise really makes him feel worth it. He loves having you lean into his engine bay asking if he's alright, asking to just let them know when he wants to go. And this bot treats you to a nice beach side date after. (He has every local show and shine dated) other bots who love this consist of. Tracks, Jazz, Mirage, Knockout(he likes making Breakdown Jealous. Get cucked in the back row)
-rust, it is ratchets most hated thing to deal with because of how corrosive it is to their frames, and trying to find something on earth that works well enough to clear it off so he can do surgerys leads him to the humans gifting him a large thing of Coca-Cola, it works just as well as clean cutter (cybertronian rust remover), when he realises the ingredients are very similar it makes life so much easier until he catches The humans drinking it and he nearly has a spark attack trying to make them regurgitate it. It leads to him finding out that humans casually drink it when they really shouldn't.
- the bugs and insect carnage left in the bots grills, windshield and just small gaps. The horror on one of the humans face when they kiss their bot and then that taste the nastness of dead bugs. Or them enjoying laying on their bot and then a spider crawls out of a gap, scurring right towards them. It leads to the bots regularly getting washes alot more that they ever would have on cybertron, and it's time each bot loves so much. Becuase it develops into pull sized bathtubs, power washing, polished and just proper care given to them.
Here's also a collection of new things humans do that become kinks or fetishes for the bots.
- cleaning/ washing,
- panel beating and repairs
-causal car maintenance

I need Billy thinking he’s so great at hiding things (and he is) no one knows he’s like fucking eight but they are pretty sure he hates like half the league
Like I need Billy getting along with everyone but he’s kinda stiff around flash and Batman but it’s get worse after most of them have revealed their secret ids and the jls so confused
Billy 100% thought Batman had all these fucking gadgets bc he was like some high up government official and then he found out no Batman’s just some rich guy and he’s like god no why is that worse
Batman just doesn’t care (he does 💀 he’s so fucking offended esp bc Marvel used to call him Mr. Batman sir but also bc he thought it’d be easier to get marvels secret id and weaknesses) as long as it doesn’t affect missions but Flash is kinda concerned bc ‘I’m pretty nice to him…does he think I don’t like him?? Did I offend him?? Do speedsters like set off the magic balance or whatever??’
They decide to pair up flash, Batman, and Captain Marvel to make sure their issues won’t affect team cohesion so after they’re done rescuing these kids that got involved in some supervillains masterplan Batman and flash are doing the usual spiel of ‘the laws exist for a reason,’ ‘you can trust the police’ and ‘there’s no good reason to turn to crime’
These kids want nothing to do with that shit and they’re trying to edge away while making excuses ‘thank you sm!! But no this is so safe, I know this area so well! We can get home ourselves!’ as soon as Batman starts asking about their parents so captain marvel just grabs Batman and flash and starts flying in the opposite direction ‘do you see that?? No guys seriously look at this cool thing!!’ and Batman’s growling about ‘childish to a degree that’s entirely unprofessional’ and ‘needlessly endangering civilians, civilian children at that-!’ and flash is trying to mediate but batman is shoving documents in his face ‘They were runaways, they don’t have anywhere to go and now they’re on a hitlist’ the ‘you fucking imbecile’ goes unsaid but they all hear it so marvel takes them back to villains lair and grabs a henchman at random and goes ‘This guys a cop…you can check that with your fancy equipment, right??’ and batman checks solely to prove him wrong but that guy is a cop and so are about 60% of the henchmen they took out then marvel goes ‘So they wouldn’t have been safe even if you took them to a hospital or child services’
Before the id reveals there’s a mission where the police are involved and flash mentions something about police protocol and marvel is so concerned bc ‘you’re still undercover? How long have you been under cover dude??’ and flash is confused bc ‘you know I’m not undercover right?? That is my actual real life day job’ and no one believes him when he says marvel shot him the most disgusted look you can imagine and edged away from him
Batman tries to hold a meeting to address how marvel deals with the police and it goes no where bc marvel is fucking menace and goes ‘don’t you do that too?? And technically I’m also a vigilante sooo’ and batman is scrambling to get the jls attention back like ‘marvel hits cops 62% percent harder than other criminals and is 43% less friendly when interacting with the police in any capacity’ but they don’t care bc they want to know why marvel considers himself a vigilante
They start letting Marvel be the one to approach children and notice that he’s advising them on how to make food last longer and maintain good hygiene while taking care of themselves and a jl members like hey wtf?? and Marvel says some bullshit about how ‘he’s lived many lives and not all of them were charmed’ and it gets back to cyborg who starts a rumor that he was dracula bc he can’t believe marvel had the balls to look WW in the eyes and lie to her fucking face
#billy batson#dc captain marvel#batman#dc flash#bruce wayne#barry allen#justice league#dc comics#green arrow like pulls marvel aside and is like ‘we’re cool though right??’ and Billy just kinda goes ‘😬 …eat the rich’#yj calls billy tim’s apprentice bc he lies to wonderwoman and tim lies to batman#billy and vic being friends is so fucking funny to me like yeah this is my all knowing godlike friend who’s sometimes a baby#ACAB!billy batson

Kinda ironic that Tommy is a speedster, but is constantly left behind by the people around him (even by Marvel Comics itself)
Like, everyone around him has lifes of their own, his biological parents live separately and it seems like neither of them want Tommy to be actively in their lives.
Even though he calls Wanda "mom" or Billy "brother," neither of them are really family to him, Wanda has her life and her problems, she doesn't act like a mother to him, not even like a mentor, their relationship is good enough but it's not deep.
And even though Billy was the one who supported the theory that the two of them are Wanda's reincarnated twins, after revealing the truth, he has his own things to focus on, Billy has loving biological parents and two real brothers, plus the best boyfriend in the universe, he even goes to space and gets married.
The best thing that Tommy had was the Young Avengers, and I adore them, but I also can't deny that Kate used him to later stay with Eli, and later she uses him again when she is angry at Noh-Varr, and after Children's Crusade when the Young Avengers split up, what Tommy wanted most was for them to stay together.
And what happens when a new Young Avengers line-up begins to form? Tommy is "kidnapped" 💀 My dude is literally left out of the whole adventure that he wanted the most, and he didn't really form any bond with any of the new members other than David.
I ask a sincere question, what friends does Tommy have? Lmaooo, seriously 😭 because David was the only one from what I remember and after they date for a while they break up off the page.
Tommy has never had a stable enough relationship, and everyone he knows has friends or other superhero teams more important than him, Tommy has only been in the Young Avengers and his appearances are so few and short that it's almost as if he's not there.
And since Marvel hates giving my boy time we literally never have a clue what's going on in his head, but let me doubt that after being labeled as the "sociopath" problem boy with no feelings, it literally won't affect him at all 💀 That facade he puts up is literally a defense mechanism, we've seen his real opinions a few times and he's not like that, he does care about his friends, he may not think about things much but when his life is lonely and the world is too slow I think it is impossible to ignore, idk.
I know it's a lot of text but I'm on the path to read all the comics in which Tommy appears, bc I never thought he would interest me so much but he became my favorite character and now I can't stand how Marvel always gives him leftovers.
And maybe what I said doesn't bother him as a character, or in the future my opinion will be proven wrong, but if Marvel never shows us anything about him, all I have to deduce what's going on in his life is the miserable information they give us.
#his only friend is 12 year old Molly Hayes and they met twice and never again lmaooo#tommy shepherd#tommy maximoff#young avengers#speed#minimoffs#rant#marvel

hope ur having a good day! i wanna ask for some Eobard Thawne x Male Reader where reader is just a normal dude. Like just some guy, i think itd be a funny concept :]
Eobard Thawne x male reader
Headcanons
I love Thawne sm, he’s my bbygirl. He’s a lil crazy, but that’s okay.
Now Thawne is literally just the biggest hater in all of existence, like God damn. He runs on hate and spite, and I appreciate that, because its relatable.
Youd most likely have met after he’s been in a fight with some hero or similar. Maybe he crashes into your yard or into your apartment. You don’t know much about heroes, you know the main ones sure, but you don’t keep track of all of them.
So, when you see someone who looks like a yellow flash in your yard bleeding out, you just kinda shrug and drag him inside, patching him up to the best of your ability. You get the head part of his suit off him and your pleasantly surprised at how red his hair is, you’ve always liked redheads.
You know nothing about speedsters’ preferences for food, and your used to cooking for just one person and have meal prepped for that. But you pull out some snacks you got laying around and a bottle of water, and put it on table beside Thawne, where you flopped him onto your couch.
When Thawne wakes, he’s immediately ready to fight, until he notices he’s just laying on someone’s couch, in a random living room who knows where. He’s honestly confused, because he’s a well-known villain and was in the middle of a fight.
He almost jumps up to throw hands when you walk into the room, eating whatever dinner you had prepped the day before. Imagine his surprise when you just go “hey, your awake. I found you in my yard, you good?”
Insert very confused Thawne, he tries to pull the whole, evil villain thing, but you are so chill and unamused that he just ends up giving up. One way or another you two just end up sitting on the couch and watching the newest episode of your current show.
It becomes a thing honestly. In the beginning he shows up after fights for you to patch up, even though you know very little first aid, but whatever. You put up with it, because if that’s the payment you have to pay for a hot redhead to sit shirtless on your couch, so be it.
Thawne won’t admit it for a long time, but he starts to enjoy your company quite a lot. Maybe it’s the fact that you couldn’t care less about him being a villain or what he does that has heroes after him. Or maybe it’s the fact that you don’t put up with his shit either.
The first time you scolded him and called him an idiot, his heart stuttered, and he won’t ever admit but his face got almost as red as his hair.
You tell him with a flat expression that he’s eating you out of house and home, because of speedster metabolism, so Thawne starts bringing groceries and helping around the house.
At some point you two realize he’s just kinda moved in, like a big street cat you’ve been feeding on your porch, that walked inside and just never left again.
You two never outright say you are dating, it just hits Thawne one day that you guys are cuddling on the couch and watching movies, and that you guys give each other kisses before you go to work, or Thawne runs off to be a villain like normal.
Its honestly quite domestic. I could imagine Thawne taking care of housework since you are the “breadwinner”, since you are the only one with a legal job. Sure, Thawne steals to get money, but he also starts stealing stuff you guys can use around the house.
Imagine Barry and the other speedster’s confusion when Thawne steals a brand-new dishwasher, or a whole porch set, chairs, tables, and all.
You never stop Thawne, since being a villain is kinda his whole thing, you just tell him not to do it with you around, so you have plausible deniability. You do appreciate the gifts he brings you too, but you never mention how most of the shirts he brings you are a little tight, you know he likes looking at you.
Thawne goes a lil crazy when you come home after work wearing your slacks, your button up and your tie. He always wants to be the one to undo your tie so he can pull you into a kiss.
He gets you expensive accessories you can wear to work, think watches that cost more than what you make in six months, tie clips, rings, etc. Everyone at your job honestly think you have some super rich sugar daddy.
You are both quite happy with your relationship, and theres nothing better than coming home to Thawne in an apron, cooking up in the kitchen. He always purrs when you come in through the door and swaggers over, drapes his arms over you, and asks about your day.
After some time, you two get engaged, it just kinda happened. You guys already act like a married couple, but one of you would have proposed. If it was you, you’d pull out a ring on a date or just during one of the evenings you are cuddling on the couch. You would use your family’s heirloom ring.
If its Thawne, he would go out of his way to make a huge deal out of it. hed rob the highest security jewelers in the world, or force the best jewelry maker to make a custom ring.
When the heroes show up its most likely Barry, maybe some of the others since Thawne has been MIA for a long time. They assumed he was planning something big, but he’s been busy playing househusband for you this entire time.
When they learn he’s trying to get a wedding ring they all thing “wait he’s got a lover???”. Thawne is gone before they can catch him though.
The heroes assume the worst, and assume his partner is as much of a villain as he is. Then Barry gets a wedding invite, written by you, since Barry’s been Thawnes nemesis for who knows how long.
Barry has always been a good guy, and since the invite specificlally says not to start anything at the wedding, he goes. Barry goes with the plan to scope out Thawne and his partner, but also to support him cuz its Barry.
Then he sees that Thawne is marrying you, the most normal guy he’s ever seen. When he talks to you, he realizes that you truly love Thawne, and though Thawne doesn’t say it with words, it’s clear the way he looks at you that he’s completely smitten.
The wedding goes great, and Barry is a big supporter, especially when he realizes Thawnes villainy has gone down a lot because he’s so happy with you, that he doesn’t wanna put you are risk.
It ends up becoming a peace thing, Thawne doesn’t do anything huge and Barry wont lock him away for life or have him thrown in the phantom zone. Thawne wont target Barry’s family and alike, and Thawne gets to stay with you.

My critique of CW’S The Flash
The Flash is one of my absolute favourite shows, and I think it deserves one of these. Yes my favourite shows deserve critiques because there are changes I would’ve liked to see instead. This is all just my opinion on the show, not exactly hating it. Plus.. I saw someone else doing something similar to here goes.
Imma be clear at the start. I don’t hate WestAllen, just really really disappointed with how they were written in the latter seasons sometimes.
Props to every actor in the Flash who put all their effort into the show whether the script was cringe or not.
Season 1-2 was FIRE. No complaints. Loved the WestAllen.
Season 3 was good,
but I think they could’ve done Savitar better. Still liked him as the big bad being depressed/emo!Barry. I’ll say that I got really attached to Harry in S2 which made me wonder why they have HR there at all? The dude grew on me, and he added humour to the team, but honestly between him and Harry, it could’ve easily been Harry. Though it means he would die at the end.. so I’m glad Season 3 had HR Wells instead sorry not sorry.
The relationship between Julian Albert and Barry was so fun to watch. Which reminds me, LOVED Eobard’s appearance as Matt Letscher in 3x01. I have no idea why they continue to use Wells’ face like bruh. Your pretending as Wells is over so like why. GIMME MORE MATT!EOBARD.
I loved Frost???
Season 4 was also great.
I’d say more quality than season 3 because it was their first time against a big bad that WASN’T a speedster yet posed a more than adequate challenge to the team. The plot was nice and unique (I really loved Hazard!). I’ll say that DEVOE was kinda showing some red flags before becoming the Thinker in his relationship with Marlize, like he seemed kinda overly possessive of her. Glad that she switched to helping Team Flash after seeing what her husband had become. Loved her “Thinker’s first victim” line.
I felt like they started focusing on Cecile too much? Her role was vital to the plot at the end with helping Barry hop into Devoe’s mind to retrieve Ralph. And speaking of Ralph, I was neutral towards the character at first, but he grew on me. Also why fire him for sometning he did like 10yrs ago. That made no sense. I’d rather Ralph than more Cecile or Allegra.
LOVED ALL THE BANTER BETWEEN HARRY AND CISCO. And FROST FROST FROST!!! I liked her S4 outfit. I also think Barry’s supersuit was the best in this season.
One of my favourite episodes was “Flashtime”. Awesome awesome filler episode.
Season 5 was also great.
Barry’s supersuit was trash tho imo. He just looks like a weird deformed strawberry.
Above average but not quite as good as S4. LOVED NORA WORKING WITH THAWNE then Barry finding out and tossing her into the pipeline cell lol. Just the betrayal, and then dumping her in the middle of a random street in the future. Loved all the father-daughter moments she had with Barry. Cool to see the writers creativity in “meta-tech”.
However Iris.. bro in 5x19 she has some issues bringing up the fact Barry NEEDED to go into the Speedforce TWICE. And then her telling Barry to his face that she didn’t care that Nora was working with Thawne. Like bro, he murdered your husband’s mother and caused sm problems. And you don’t care about that?? Good to see that Barry called her out in the end.
Imma complain about freaking Sherloque again. Why not Harry? Even after what happened to him in S4, I think he could’ve figured out that Nora is secretly working with Thawne. Like dude’s still smart af.
Nora getting erased from existence at the very end.. sad :( I miss S5 Nora
Season 6.
I feel like this is when everything started going downhill. I didn’t care for Mirror Monarch. The mirror!Iris storyline was interesting to see. Idk what happened the rest of the season. That’s how much I didn’t care for this season lol. I think the other half was about Ramsey and how he wanted to make everyone zombies. Man I HATED Sue Dearborn or however you spell her name. She just took up too much screentime. This is when it started feeling like “Iris & Friends” instead of “The Flash”.
Liked to see how Barry dealt with slowly losing his speed bc he was killing the speedforce lol. Liked how the Caitlin/Frost duo became separate people. It was cool. At least we got that lol.
I think this is when Allegra comes in. I honestly can’t stand her. Like the whole her and her sister trope? Why.
The one thing I did like was Barry’s artificial speedforce gave him speed thinking. Awesome episode to watch. EXCEPT NASH. WHY. His sacrifice is useless in the end because of the whole “Iris is Barry’s lightning rod” thing. Have nothing about a speedster’s lightning rods in the comics, just didn’t like how that was written into the show. It eventually got really annoying.
Season 7.
Where do I even begin. This is when Barry’s “children” became a thing, and then suddenly speedforce!Nora wanting to kill all of them? Like what??? Where did that come from? Dion’s storyline was interesting. The rest were just.. Meh. And the CGI was so cringe.
I loved Abra Kadabra??? Why they gotta kill him off in one episode.
Does Chillblaine start coming in this season? I dislike him in general.
Season 8.
THIS IS WHEN BARRY’S ACTUAL CHILDREN COME BACK.
Now with Nora getting erased in S5, I really would’ve preferred if they gave us Tornado Twins instead. Like you can even use the same actors, but I honestly don’t really like the new Nora. I did like seeing her interaction between her and her family.
Also. Bart. I. Have. Major. Problems. I LOVE Bart but he is supposed to be Barry’s GRANDSON. Give us Don Allen instead. I did like the episode where they messed up the timeline, went back to 2013 and then accidentally reset Jay into the timeline. Also loved the episode with the whole Barry and the gamma radiation making him age hella fast. Bro was basically a zombie at the end and still overloaded the machine with the speedforce.
The. Stupid. Power Rangers godspeed arc was shit and them being Bart’s Thawne-like arch nemesis. Like boy, don’t compare Thawne with your godspeed problems. Don’t even start. Also what is with the “Negative Forces” and “Positive Forces” Power Rangers thing and then Iris’ time sickness? At this point, The Flash just started to feel like a soap opera.
I liked Chester even though he was a “replacement��� for Cisco. He was unique. But the whole Allegra/Chester budding relationship where did that come from?? It just seemed very cringe and didn’t do much for the plot besides drama I guess. Khione was meh. Like just give us Caitlin with Frost in some way. I don’t care about Khione and her arc. Pls give us more Barry and not so much Cecile and Allegra.
Season 9
The show should just be renamed “Power Rangers: Iris & Friends” at this point. They made an entire episode without Barry?? Like if I pick up a Flash comic book, I expect it to be about THE FLASH. Not his random friends. Like yes, his friends can make appearances but don’t give me a whole dang episode without Barry THE MAIN CHARACTER. Also how the hell did Cecile become that OP, where is the character development.
Idk where Chillblaine comes in but I just don’t like him, not to mention that I don’t like the relationship between him and Frost. Like what.
Eddie’s Cobalt Blue arc and Red Death arc could’ve been done WAY better. I didn’t see any plot relevance in any way. It was written so poorly. Red Death was just like evil speedster!Batman or something. Please don’t bring our beloved Eddie back if you gonna write him all just jealous of Barry and him somehow becoming the new avatar of the Negative Speedforce. And what does Batwoman have anything to do with this (I believe she appears in the finale villains arc)l
There is legit only one episode I like in S9. The one that comes “full circle”. The one where Barry gets stuck in 2000, gets to chill with his parents for one day, and then comes full circle with Matt!Eobard killing Nora. SEASON 1 QUALITY. They even use the same bg music which awwww. And the “If I can spend one more day with my parents, then what would I say to them?” Line? Chef’s kiss.
Did not like the finale. His final run speech was okay about sharing his gift. Definitely would’ve preferred if Barry became the lightning bolt that struck him in S1 like in the comics.
Idk which episodes: Loved all the Amunet & Frost storyline, and then Goldface time to time appearances. Especially “Officer Chemist” lol.

I've seen that, and talking about doing something with Tommy and Wanda is nice but I'll believe it when the actual comic is wrote, drawn, published and released. Because until then all they've done is had an idea they're not going through with.
iirc the writer of the Scarlet Witch comic (and the upcoming Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver miniseries) said that he had plans for Tommy and that he sees Tommy as being very close to Wanda? But he wasn't sure if the comic was going to last long enough without getting cancelled in order to see those plans come into fruition. And we don't know what's going to happen there after Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver ends, like if that's going to be it or if SW will start up again. But there was a promise of Tommy at some point.
Not that I don't believe you, it's just I'll believe it when I see it.
#saying you'd like to do XYZ with a character isnt the same as actual doing something woth the character.#and its interesting that billy has two sets of parents. he had Wanda and Rebecca. one doesn't cancel out the other but id like to see how#that works with tommy. tommy doesn't; as far as we know; have a good relationship with his bio parents. he doesn't go back to them.#he doesn't mention them. it seems they dont care that he was in a mutant detention facility or that hes out. id be cool to see the#difference this makes in Tommy relationship with wanda vs billys. we already kinda see it! tommy calls wanda his mom. plus the whole#YA infinity comic where master p said tommy was more then a speedster (or something). like i see a story but im not gonna trust marvel till#the story is writen drawn printed published and in my hand.#also as you said we got expanding on Wanda's relationship with Viv (i love her no hate) before we got anything with Tommy.#just tommy stans are in the trenches. we got nothing.

It's not really a question, but an idea popped into my head, I watched Days of Future Past recently, imagine a student from the future, for some reason (a power I don't know) manages to go back in time and become best friends with her favorite teacher when he was younger (Peter obviously!) I don't know if anything can come out of this, but in my head the idea was brilliant lol 😝
I’ve been meaning to respond to this ask !! I thought it was absolutely delightful !!
Days of Future Past is so cozy to me. There’s just something about the way the time period is presented - with all those lovable characters - that makes it feel so genuine and fun. I’m a goofball with a childlike imagination. Nothing is more comforting to me than imagining being there tbh. As silly as it sounds.
This concept absolutely warms my heart, since it fulfills that silly dream.
Anyway, I have some thoughts under the cut !!
Peter Maximoff headcanons - Student reader goes back in time and meets their favorite, speedster teacher in his teen years!
We know Peter eventually becomes a teacher in canon. I’m not really sure what he teaches, since they never really clarified. But there’s no doubt in my mind he’d be great at his job.
Mr. Maximoff is definitely a more laid back kinda teacher
I do imagine he’s the type to playfully mess with any students who act out of line. I’ve had teachers like that before in the past. The ones who take no shit and lightheartedly tease students. That’s absolutely on brand for Peter
I also get the vibe he’d be so “how do you do fellow kids” about everything
And the students would think he’s cool anyway. I mean, he’s fast. He loves cool music - and probably some really cool movies/shows/games too!
I imagine he’d deck out his classroom/office in all kinds of pop culture memorabilia. Very similar to the way he decorated his basement back when he lived at his mom's
Reader as a mutant student would be no different than the other kids. Y’all know you’d think he was the coolest teacher there ever was. Some of you might even look up to him! And maybe also develop a harmless crush. He is handsome, after all.
Imagine your surprise - after you’ve gone back in time for mission with some of the X-Men. It’s part of your training. You never thought you’d get the chance to time travel, of all things. Or, if we're following DoFP canon; maybe you went back in time with Logan? You're one of the last surviving mutants, and your mutation is useful somehow. It could go either way!
But Mr. Maximoff is there in the past. Only, he’s seventeen, acting on impulse, and being a playful nuisance.
He thinks you’re weird as hell. You totally bizarre, future kid. But you’re also pretty alright...since you think he's so cool 'n all. Most people just think he's a freak. And hey, you're a mutant like him! He doesn't know a lot of mutants yet!
And how the heck are you from the future - but you somehow know all the bands he likes, the movies he’s into, the shows he watches, even the games he plays??
Spoiler alert - it’s because Mr. Maximoff has a tendency to show off all his favorite things in class. Dude can’t go a single day without referencing Galaga, or Star Wars, or David Bowie, or whatever else
If you’re allowed to disclose any info about the future, you’ll probably tell him he gets a teaching job. Not only that, but the kids all love him
To which he responds with a - tsh, yeah. Right.
Why would he ever become a teacher?? He hates school! He can’t ever focus in class! His grades are the worst, and he bombs every test! C’mon…no way! What’re you tryin’ to pull his leg???
Y-You’re pulling his leg, right?
It’d be dope if you got the chance to hang out with him for a little bit. You could follow him around while he got into his usual, kleptomaniac shenanigans
Y’all would definitely cause enough trouble to get the cops called on you
Actually, when you find out the local cops know his name by heart - you can't help but do a double take
Mr. Maximoff? The coolest teacher in Westchester? The dude who’s always doggin’ on students for running in the halls? He used to be a lawless rulebreaker? Holy shit!! You almost couldn't wait to return to the future, just to poke fun at him for bein' such a troublemaker in his youth
Honestly, there’s a lot of really fun ideas one could pull from this, anon. I can’t even do it justice. I’d love if anyone else wanted to add their take. My brain has been so broken lately. But thank you for your ask!! I love you dearly!!

Love the thought of speedsters using vibrating fingers in a tickle fight!! Wally being downright mean to dick because when his fingers or hands are vibrating its an impossible task to remove them from you. Wallys favorite tickle tactic is let me stick my vibrating finger on your worst spot and see how long you last. Dick has a love hate relationship with this game. I also hc that while dick is a bat hes the most expressive if someone wiggle their fingers at dick he flinches away and is already trying to stop giggling (this only happens with people hes close with and tickle him all the time usually its wally and batfam that it works with)
omg robin!dick is absolutely the squirmiest, he can barely sit still, let alone keep his face straight when wally starts to wiggle his fingers in his direction. dick is just able to catch that look on wally’s face and he knows he’s about to be laughing
YES the power of speedster fingers is so underrated, like wally can literally just put his hands on dick’s ribs and vibrate and dick is screaming and begging in seconds. wally would so use it on dick, and bart would absolutely use it on tim (and gar, and kon). barry might’ve even heard whispers of its effectiveness from wally and bart and decide to try it out on bruce one time (his life has been at risk ever since)
there’s so much potential in speedster lers, like even with raspberries, it would be so easy to make them so much worse by vibrating. or nibbling while vibrating? literally hell (but dick kinda loves it, bc he loves to lose control)
#ask#anon#I love the speedsters#and they’d be such good lers#but also HUGE lees#dick grayson#wally west#barry allen#bart allen

Soundwave overhearing Deadlock talk about the Autobot he's seeing. He feels guilty because the Autobot wants more but he's only sleeping with him because he reminds him of Ratchet and he doesn't have feelings for him.
Soundwave tells Hot Rod who's crushed thinking no one will ever love him. Soundwave is there for him.
So, i’m just being honest..the best person to write this is @theoceanoasis because they write some of the best soundrod stories i have ever read. I feel they can do this just where i cannot.
But i will try and do a little snippet.
Deadlock isn’t trying to be a jerk he just let things get out of hand.
The one he wants is Ratchet and yeah he knows he’s wrong for sleeping with another bot that reminds him of ratchet and he’s using him to get close to ratchet but he also kinda does like hot rod. He doesn’t love hot rod like he loves ratchet, he’s in love with ratchet, but he does like Hot rod and he wants to try something with him. But he knows if he says anything he’ll want to break it off.
To Soundwave it sounds like Deadlock wants to have his cake and then some and he admits he tells Hot rod because he has a crush on the mech. He’s genuinely in love with hot rod and that meant he didn’t mention his feelings at all. In fact he told Deadlock he had three days to tell Hot rod or he would because he wanted hot rod to be happy even if it wasn’t with him.
Of course on the third day, he saw Deadlock leave with Ratchet who looked disappointed but was by his side and that was how he knew hot rod was told.
He went to check on the speedster and hour later, slipping inside his berthroom to find the mech crying.
He curled around the mech who latched onto him and let him cry it out.
“Why is it so hard for someone to actually want me?”
It always hurt to hear Hot rod say that and he hated that he never told him after all this time that he wanted him.
Deep down he held insecurities that told him Hot rod wouldn’t want someone like him. Someone who’s done terrible things that were unforgivable. They always screamed at him that if Hot rod saw who he really was, behind the mask and what he allowed him to see, he’d hate him.
And that was something he wasn’t willing or ready to risk.
“I’m so sorry hot rod,” he couldn’t bring himself to say the words his spark has been begging him to say since the day he realized he was in love.
The fear was just too great and he let silence grip hold on his vocals as he rubbed Hot rod’s quaking spoiler, letting the mech cry into his arms and against his pained spark.
“I’m so sorry.”

Hello! Can we hear a few Eo/Wally headcanons?
Hi! Funny you should ask because I have been working on a little Eowally thing just yesterday. I would love to post it here but tumblr would have my head on a pike, so you know what, I'm going to post it on AO3 and link it here. There you go.
Here's a couple of headcanons 🩷
It's not easy to put Wally in his place, with how strong and fast he is. Is just so happens that Eobard is stronger and faster than him, and Wally is not immune to being held face down like when he was a little kid.
There was a time when Eobard would have really liked to *like* Wally. He tried to connect with him in TRoBA and it didn't work, but with slightly different circumstances they could have had a more civil conversation and mourned Barry together.
In an a/b/o scenario in which they're both mated with Barry, Eobard would make an effort tolerating "that overgrown pup" for Barry's sake. And end up growing fond of him and liking that they're a pack of three, even if he won't say.
Canonically, Wally is kinda jealous that Barry has a stalker and he doesn't. I'd like to think he would make it Eobard's problem and try to piss him off until Eo starts giving him attention.
Eobard would hurt him to get back at Barry. Wally hates that he's being hurt in order to get back at someone else, and would rather be the whole reason why Eobard is doing what he's doing. The moment Eobard shows that he's thinking about Barry, Wally is throwing a fit.
Again in the a/b/o scenario in which they're a pack of three, Wally's transition from "I hate him, why does he have to be here" to "this is my mate and I will end anything and everything that causes him harm" would be nearly unnoticeable, surprising everyone when it finally shows for one reason or another.
Wally loves being bitten, and is a masochist just like any other speedster. He vehemently denies it and everyone respects his boundary - everyone minus Eobard, who bites him and manhandles him and Wally pretends to hate it while having the best sex of his life.
#to the other 3 people who ship this - I know you exist - feel free to add on if you feel like ♥#EoWally#my asks#my fanfictions

I dont like the young justice TV show
OK OK before you say anything hears my opinion on this TV show
the one on HBO max I mean
I hate it, it makes me want to rip my hair out
and here are some of the reasons why
First off, they put the whole ass wrong Robin in there
They put Dick in there?? No?? The Robin that was in the Young Justice was Tim Drake not Dick. He was never a member of the Young justice
Time, Conner and Bart where the three IfirstI members of the Young justice, they made the team, and by the time that Tim is Robin Dicks a full grown adult so why would he be in there??
Dick was a Teen Titan sure but a young justice member?? Hello?
I mean like a quick google serch can tell you what Robin it was and like i guess benifit of the doubt the robins are a bit confusing but they have Tim come into the show later on like he was the Robin after Dick? No? Where did Jason go? After Dick Jason was Robin, not Tim.
Like for what reason (also why did they flatten his hair like that)
Like thats Tim in the first Young justice comics
You can litrally just Google it and get the right one
Okay i could talk about just the robins for hours but moving on to my second point
CONNER WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU
Why did they compleatly change him?? Why??
Not only did they give him worlds most boreing design but they also compleatly changed his backstory to??
Starting with the disign thing because thats my bigest ick this is what hes suposed to look like (what he looked like in his protraal in the comic books)
Like look how cool that is with the Leather jacket and the belts all the color design, like you can get a pretty good grasp of his personality just based on his design, but what they did with him in the show...
CONNER WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU
They just took out everything that made him a unique character, like everything
His entire personality was also changed witch i absolutly cannot stand. He almost acts like a wild animal in the show like for what reson did they need to make him the worst character ever in the show I hate it so much
Why did they change his whole backstory to?? Like he was made from super man and Lex Luthors DNA right?? Not in this show! He was made by like a cult in the tv show for whatever reson
They compleatly changed his character like compleatly and its probally one of the biggest resons why i dont like this show
but i guess ill give them points on actually putting in the right super boy because its the only charachter who was actually a member of the young justece
Third off, they goofed up Bart big time
Another backstory they almost compleatly changed.
They kept in him coming from the 31st century but he comes from like a post apocoliptic world?? Hello??
The TLDR on Barts actually backstory: He couldnt turn off his super speed abilities so his grandmother (iris) took him back in time to wally so wally could help him, since he grew up so fast he was hooked into VR so that he could mentally age at the same rate goofing up his fear responce and makeing him very impulsive.
The thing is the time that Bart goes back to is the time that wallys the flash, In the show Wally is still the kid flash
Witch is another point in of itself Wally was never a member of the young justice and the flash (barry allen) isnt suosed to be around
Why they changed what Robin and 'Kid flash' where in this tv show only to later introduce the correct ones is unknown to me i have no idea why they would do that.
long story short they put the wrong speedster in there but later put the right one in there only to goof it up
Fourth off
why did they change arrowett like that?
They not only changed her name and the color of her costume (why??) but they had a weird side romance with Wally and her wich why AND they changed her whole ass name??? Her name is Cissy? Why did they flipin change that??
Last but not least
Where are wonder girl and seccret??
Wonder girl is important?? literally what?? Not only that but they took out secret to? Shes kinda important?
Someone please inform me if im wrong on them both not being there I didn't watch the whole show its mind melting
That' s her and she made like three of four big plot lines in the comic series.
Small things i wont elaborate on for the sake of lenght,
Why was speedy there?
I hate what they did to Miss Martian
Why did they need to change the whole timeline for this show?
I could go off on this show for literal hours and how bad it is but thats just the top five reasons i might make another post like this
TLDR: I hate the young Justice TV show :)
#young justice#young just us#dc universe#dc robin#dc comcis#batman and robin#tim drake#dick grayson#jason todd#bart allen#barry allen#wally west#speedsters#justice leauge#comics#impulse comics#impulse#kid flash#flash#superboy#conner kent#superman#robin#batman#secret#nightwing#young justice comics#i hate the young justice tv show#hbo max why#why

Because the rot consumes here’s
Batfam-Soul Eater AU
Bruce is a weapon and he’s a gun. And he fucking hates it like Despises it
Talia turned him into a death scythe but lord death never makes him transform. He’s just a strategist and a teacher now.
Talia is a witch but she hid it until after she made Bruce a death scythe.
Also Bruce’s like honor code is a little different here since “no killing” is kinda silly when the only reason the academy exists is to kill kishins he thinks A: everyone is constantly teetering on the edge of madness all the time. And B: it is a moral failing if you succumb to the madness. Which is why he didn’t go after the joker after Jason, because doing so would have been giving in to the madness.
Dick is a meister
He bounced back and forth between Barbara who is a grappling hook and also a meister and Kori who is some sort of lava cannon or something.
Barbara got Severely hurt during a fight while wielding Jason and had to stop for a while. She’s back at it though, helping Bruce as a strategist and as like “Mission Control” Bruce is guiding her to take over for him someday.
Dick now fights with Wally who is his like electric escrima sticks because speedster=lightning in my mind.
Jason is also a gun but he thinks it’s Very cool. Barbara was with Jason when they were assigned to take down the joker who is a kishin egg. He killed Jason and severely injured Babs.
Jason was revived by Talia because obviously, using the black blood and he was overtaken by the madness for a while before being pulled back towards sanity by his friends.
Hes partnered with Roy now who Does have A daughter Lian. Teen pregnancy stuff. You get it.
Tim is a meister. He can resonate with anyone but he really struggled to find a weapon he really clicked with. So he fought by directing his soul wavelength for a while.
He met Bernard who is a bo staff and they clicked and are now partners.
Steph used to fight by herself using a non person weapon, no one is really sure where she got it. But now she and Cassandra are partners and No One but Steph and maybe Bruce and Barbara know what kind of weapon she is all anyone can tell is that she’s something small, she can also see soul wavelengths.
There’s a good chance though that when you see Steph alone that Cass is actually transformed and concealed somewhere on her person
Duke is a weapon who fights alone (like Justin law) I don’t know what kind of weapon but it’s something weird and COOL he’s got to be really super cool. It definitely glows and he can like “enchant” (not really the word I’m looking for but it works) it with his soul wavelength to like resonate/boost his own attacks.
Duke is the closest to becoming a death scythe of the batfam.
Damian is PISSED that he wasn’t born a weapon. He really really wants to be a death scythe, so it bums him out that he can’t.
I think it’s really funny if he Is actually a weapon but he’s even more repressed than Maka so literally no one knows.
That or Talia tried to ensure he’d be a witch and it backfired somehow and locked away his weapon transformation instead.
He’s partnered with Jon who is a sword
Damian is absolutely determined to make Jon into the youngest death scythe ever
Jon does not particularly care either way he definitely wants to become a death scythe but isn’t super bothered by timeline but if that’s what Damian wants god damnit he’s going to try his best!! Jon is very Tsubaki core to me. They are the tsu/blackstar combo of the batfam.
Back to Jason, Bruce understands Jason’s struggle with the madness and just really really wants his son to talk to him but he never ever gives ANY indication that he’d react well or even Want to talk to Jason about anything. Especially when he keeps reacting so high and mighty and preachy when Jason is Worse at dealing with the madness than anyone else.
Other—non batfam—headcanons
Clark and Lois are a death scythe/ meister combo In that order. They’re off doing shit constantly and Kon ends up basically taking care of Jon most of the time.
J’onn is a teacher (also a weapon) at the academy in my mind the like struggle with madness is split off onto Bruce but the like rest of stein is in J’onn mixed with Sid’s like dad energy.
J’onn is the teacher that Everyone goes to for advice about basically anything.
Also J’onn is a weapon who can change form like Tsubaki can but he’s got A Lot more forms. He can see wavelengths. And attack with his own wavelength. He’s basically super overpowered but he hardly ever has to fight.
Barry is a death scythe nuff said
All of the like magic users in the justice league including aquaman because… fish. Are witches
Zetanna’s witch form/animal form is a lion because she gives me ringmaster vibes? Idk.
Constantine’s animal form is the wettest saddest rat you’ve ever seen. It’s also huge. Also he is Literally trading off pieces of his soul and he looks SUPER freaky to anyone who can see souls
The main villain of the arc is the league of assassins. Run by witches. The academy and the justice league witches team up to take them down. They’re trying to turn the joker into a full blown kishin using the black blood which is a stand in for the Lazarus pits. I’m thinking like full on Pits of the stuff and everyone has to donate blood to the pits every time they walk past. All these assassins are Covered in self inflicted cuts so they can donate their blood.
When people displease Ra’s they get bled out into the black blood. Like draining an animal style. So ominously hanging over the pit by the ankles bleeding out into it are like a lot of bodies. And in the center in like a cage half submerged in the blood is the joker and they bring him all the souls after the people bleed to death.
They do kidnap J’onn at some point, also Tim, and Bernard, and idk Lian for the drama
So rescue mission! Also kill the joker! Is the main finale.

For Talk Shop Tuesday: Tell me about an idea that got scrapped, but you're still kinda in love with the idea of it.
Ooh I love this question! There have been a few…but one I keep going back to is an idea in which Nora’s been haunted by dreams/visions of her s5 self trapped in the Speed Force, screaming for help. She can’t quite figure out how to get there, though—when she goes into the Speed Force, she’s warned away from those dreams/visions, and her parents won’t talk about the “original” Nora beyond stories of their time together during s5. But Nora somehow gets a clue that the answers she seeks are with a man named Savitar…so she enlists Bart’s help.
Now, ofc, Bart is usually the reckless one, while Nora is the responsible one. But here, the dynamic is flipped, and Bart’s a little uncomfortable being the responsible one, but he tries. He can’t talk Nora out of it though, so off they go to the past…leaving a note for their parents. Yeah, that’ll go over well.
They meet Savitar, there are some fun clashes—especially between Bart and Savitar. Nora wants to use Savitar’s Philosopher’s Stone to find her other self, and she promises not to intervene in Savitar’s plan (knowing that he’ll be defeated without her needing to intervene). Bart, ofc, hates this plan, and thus occurs the clash between him and Savitar:
“What did Dad always say? You never pull things out of the Speed Force without a backup—”
“Things?” Savitar repeated dangerously, his eyes flashing.
Bart set his jaw, glaring at him, but Nora didn’t miss her brother’s slight tremble. “You know what I mean.”
“Like father, like son,” Savitar sneered, “just as cruel.”
Nora takes after Iris at times, so it makes sense that Bart takes after Barry at times. And Bart is protective of his mom and sister, so naturally, he despises Savitar.
Ultimately, Nora does go in to save her other self…but she’s betrayed:
“Oh dear. What’s the matter, Nori? Too many…negative tachyons in your system?”
Nora’s blood ran cold. “What…what did you—?”
“Oh come on. There’s only one way a speedster can survive erasure.” Other Nora shrugged. “Of course, those tachyons aren’t in me anymore…but not to worry. They’re in you now…and that’ll be enough for a distraction. Especially since I have this.” She waved the Stone tauntingly in front of Nora, who jolted.
She’d been pickpocketed, tricked by her other self, and she hadn’t even noticed—what kind of a hero was she? “Please,” she begged, “Nora, you don’t have to do this! We can help you!”
“No,” Nora sighed, “you really can’t. And even if you could…” her eyes flashed. “I won’t settle for being Barry Allen’s second daughter and third child, not when I was his one and only.”
So yeah 😅 ultimately this was a case of “too many ideas to fit into one fic”, especially since this was supposed to be a Savitar & Nora fic, so I ended up scrapping it. I still think fondly of it though—you explored the idea of Nora being a namesake of herself so well in say i’m not your consolation prize, and I do wanna write a fic exploring that one day. Just not this one
talk shop tuesday!

I submitted Iceman, and I chose not to focus on the typical "hyperactive" "inattentive" symptoms for two reasons: 1. Iceman has been handled by a lot of different writers and for every moment that he exhibits ADHD like behavior, there's another moment by a different writer that doesn't fit the pattern or that contradicts/retcons the times he does. Comics are kinda fluid like that. 2. As other ADHD askers in this blog have said, there is a higher instance of a character being flagged or claimed as ADHD if they fall into a specific archetype (forgetful, impulsive, hyperactive) and while I really feel that Iceman exhibits these tendencies, he does so in a more subtle way and I wanted to look at how ADHD can be "coded", and at how it might affect the fabric of one's narrative. All the canonical comics ADHD characters that I know of (not counting Roy, because that's a throwaway line in a comic that isn't even his and no DC writer has actually engaged with him as an ADHD character) are either the speedster type, or joke characters like Gwenpool. No hate at all to these characters, I am glad they exist, but I also dislike that if someone doesn't fit that specific archetype, they're often dismissed as possible ADHD representation.
I really appreciate your input, and I'm sorry if I offended you with that tag.
You're right that characters don't have to fit a certain archetype to be ADHD, that's part of the point of the blog. With that tag I was more referring to the fact that the evidence didn't really talk about symptoms, more experiences, and the vague criteria I've been using were pretty much "does it have at least a couple symptoms specific to ADHD." But that submission made me stop and think because even though it only briefly mentioned stuff like distraction, the experiences you described did ring true as ADHD experiences. So maybe my criteria are flawed? Something to consider.
I absolutely did not mean to say your evidence was not strong at all, I'm very sorry if it came across that way, I can't really tell but it sounds like it did? I always queue late enough that my medication has worn off, so I am... not the most eloquent. Something to learn from... I love that you went for someone who doesn't fit the stereotype. It really is what this blog is supposed to be about.
