#I'm still gushing over all fabulous hcs they are SO GOOD

[emin-folly]

HI First off, thank you and I am SO sorry, I wanted to reply to this ages ago but between my life being turned upside down, being tired as hell and wanting to articulate my thoughts on this, I kept spacing it BUT I'M FINALLY DOING IT NOW

It's important to me that you know that I've been thinking about this ever since I read it, you have such a galaxy brain I love it SO MUCH (and if you ever do find that one fanfic, PLEASE link me!!!)

And if you ever do write this into a fanfic, I would love you forever, I'd owe you my life because this is everything I'd imagine it would go <33

Yeesss, the Amazons are all already immediately planning his death LOL However, I do think they would be a bit conflicted because they see his superspeed and automatically assume he has been gifted by Hermes himself (Barry doesn't correct them, he just says "...Yeah, that's close enough")

Oh yes! They see Diana carry him around and are like "Doesn't your masculinity suffer when you let a woman handle you?" And Barry's just like "No?? Why" The Amazons look at Barry like he just grew green spots and horns lol

OMIGAWD yes, Barry would so be all over their technology, he's like a kid in a candy store, his words all blurring together in a high speed gibberish as he zips around like a blurr aha

Tho he would ask first, of course, if they were comfortable with sharing their tech with someone of the outside world. Barry would very, VERY much want to study it but he would absolutely be respectful of their boundaries and privacy~

YES, like here you have these women who are ready to deal with the worst mankind has to offer and then in comes Barry who just yeets all their expectations and what they thought they knew about men right out the window~ Heck, even the animals on the island all seen to be at ease and around and like Barry, much to everyone's surprise. Barry's bright and cheerful demeanor is very infectious lol

Absolutely!! The Amazons are just SO confused, they're just gesturing to Barry like "what IS this man, how could this MAN ever get close to our princess" lol

Oh yeah, they definitely do the Lasso check on him, 100%. Instead of uncovering any deep-seated misogyny or hidden betrayals, they find out that everything they've seen about Barry really is true, that he really is exactly as he appears to be, everything that Diana says he is. I think this would be the thing that would finally help convince Hippolyta as well as a lot of others at this point (there still be some that would harbor some minor doubts tho, I feel like)

I'm fully aware that this is very biased but I would seriously love it if Barry was one of the main reasons for easing Amazons' hatred of men. In recent comics, he and Hippolyta seem to be on very good terms with each other so, I can definitely see this as a really plausible scenario~

This was the fanart that started it all, lol It was inspired by The New Frontier, the part where Diana just picks up Barry and carries him around and it was so cute, I couldn’t pass up the chance to draw it~ I was trying some different coloring styles here, not entirely happy with it but oh well. Practice makes perfect aha
