It's funny to be an adult who didn't realize they were queer until they were grown. Turns out those "crushes" on the cool boys weren't crushes. It was gender envy, but I didn't have the vocabulary to convey that

Bothers me immensely that Reverse Flash, the dumb fuck, gets the Yellow Flash Costume.
The Yellow Flash Costume should have gone to Wally. Because it matches his Kid Flash costume. It gave him individuality. Being the Flash, but in yellow, would have given him something more of his own.
Instead, he got Barry’s hand-me-downs. Both, in name and costume... Now, the mantle itself, I don’t mind so much; Jay’s the Flash, Barry’s the Flash, Wally’s the Flash, Bart’s the Flash, everybody gets to be the Flash, whatever. It holds meaning.
But the costume. The costume I do mind. Screw the Reverse Flash. He doesn’t deserve it. Wally would look so much better wearing it.

The name Luka may be canon, but Luisa lives on in my heart...
And thus, I headcanon Luka as nonbinary, and they use whatever name they feel like on a whim. c:
