#and then ignore that theyve just said the craziest shit imaginable

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.
