❤: Which character do you think is the most egregiously mischaracterized by the fandom?

Caitlin, I think, gets mischaracterized a fair bit. She is very sweet to her friends, but the fandom doesn’t often talk about her being brusque and blunt at times, especially while dealing with grief (for which, by the way, she has very cold (pardon the pun), sometimes destructive coping mechanisms—as shown in s8, but even before that, in s4…both times when she was desperate to get Frost back)

💚: What does everyone else get wrong about your favorite character?

Jesse is more of a reckless teenager than I think people realize. A good chunk of the fandom (mostly because of the show, tbh) acts like she’s always in the right and always making good decisions, but��this is not exactly true.

For one thing, her leaving Central with Zoom still on the loose. Her friction with Harry makes sense—he’s shielded her from how far he’s willing to go for her, and that’s a hard thing to come to terms with. And, as previously pointed out to me by @angst-is-love-angst-is-life, she’s safer somewhere that isn’t Central City with Zoom out and about. Which is fair. However, they’re on an entirely unfamiliar Earth, and Jesse just kinda went exploring as though there are not a million bad things that could happen to a teenage girl with no powers or fighting skills out on her own. She didn’t tell anyone, she only told Harry she was leaving and didn’t say where…like geez, girl, something bad could’ve happened to you and no one would’ve ever known!!

It would be one thing if she was going to someone she knew, who had powers, who was outside of Central. I could get behind that. But she was just wandering aimlessly! She got on a bus to a city she had no idea about, in which she knew no one, on an Earth she’d never been to!

Plus, when Harry did go after her to find her...in their first conversation, she directly compares him to Zoom. Nice, Jesse. I'm sure he appreciates that considering he spent months trying to save you from Zoom 💀

Also, as much as I love her besting Savitar…going after him alone was reckless, and I’ve always resented a little how everyone celebrates her punching HR as though he wasn’t just trying to keep her safe (like Cisco was!!). Savitar is a very experienced speedster who knocked Barry around like a ragdoll, and Jesse only beat him by fighting smarter, not harder (and with a little nudge from HR). It could’ve gone way worse. Wally was already in the Speed Force—they could've been down two speedsters instead of just one!

💔: If you had to remove one major character from the series, who would you choose?

Sorta feels like a similar question as “if you had to pick a major character to kill” 😅 though in the spirit of things, I’ll give a different answer than I gave for that one: Sherloque, who was by far the weakest of the Wells for me.

Sherloque was investigating Nora, but…they had Ralph, a PI, who was (to some degree) part of the Team by that point—the stakes would’ve been way higher if he was the one investigating her.

unpopular opinions ask game!

[fezwearingjellybananas]

is it okay if i ask you the same question you asked me? i'm really curious and i'd like to know more about your take on Barry and Cisco and their powers and how they connect and work together. if it's okay?

Yes definitely!

Usually I headcanon Cisco's powers come from the Speed Force, and almost in two parts? So, there is the general in dctv canon metahumans are created at exposure to some unnamed dark matter, established in series 1 but not a constant requirement of exposure at a moment that would otherwise result in death, almost like a rapid evolution in a single organism instead of over generations (which might have a name but I can't think of one right now). And dark matter might just be everywhere, so presumably there is a specific particle or something that activates an existing metagene, and the most likely source seems to be the Speed Force? It's opening the Speed Force in s4 that creates the bus metas, the Philosopher's Stone in s3 is from the Speed Force, even way back at the start the purpose of the particle accelerator is to channel a path for the Speed Force to reach Barry. Which actually what you said the other day about Cisco's powers coming from Barry first travelling through time fits so well, I have been writing them in fic as starting to develop slowly from the initial explosion, but travelling through time is sort of the first time Barry accesses the Speed Force rather than just draws power from it if that makes sense? And he doesn't know it yet, but that moment, that surge of power Barry unknowingly lets out being what triggers Cisco's metagene, again with the end goal of saving his life... Yes, I like this idea, I'm going to stick with it after I talk about the second half of how I headcanon Cisco's powers are connected to the Speed Force.

Which is Cisco's powers are literally from the Speed Force, he's connected to it just like Barry is, it just manifests in different ways. Barry when he travels through time intentionally sees things in the Speed Force, in a similar way to Cisco's vibes, they can both access different universes through their powers, both their powers are linked to vibrations, so maybe the Speed Force is impossible to truly say what it is, but it's somehow connected to the vibration of the multiverse. And I think maybe Cisco's powers might also be linked to the other Forces too- the Speed Force uses plural pronouns in their early appearances, then stops after the arc with the other Forces, after they become separate entities, so with Cisco's abilities meaning he sees through time maybe he draws from the Still Force a little at least, I think it could have been fun to have Cisco's powers glitching after Crisis and at first they think it's because the multiverse is gone and then it goes into the Forces arc and they slowly piece together the Forces are no longer together and that's what's causing Cisco's problems, when they get them to work together again Cisco's powers are fixed too.

Anyway I got distracted. There is a line in episode two "[Cisco's] the eyes and ears, and [Barry's] the feet", and I think that almost later sums up their powers? Or at least how they use them together- Cisco gets his vibes and can tell Barry where to be, Barry can run through time and Cisco can see through it, he can see the changes and other timelines. Barry can share his speed through Flashtime, and Cisco can stop a speedster in their tracks, and I think Barry's probably glad it's Cisco that ended up with the power to stop a speedster, Cisco and Iris are probably the only people he would trust with it if he had to give it to someone.

So now I want to go back to Cisco's powers being triggered by Barry changing time. If Cisco's powers come from the Speed Force, it's by Barry accessing it at that point, giving it that path into the world, and by the Speed Force deciding that is the point Cisco needs them. He gets his vibes so he can see his death, knows what happened, can learn how to avoid it this time around. And his death came at the hand of a speedster, eventually he'll get the powers to stop a speedster, to cut them off from their powers, it's like they were tailor-made so if Cisco had had powers in that moment he would have been able to stop Eobard and save his own life, like the Speed Force knows they can't protect him exactly, but they can give him the tools he needs to protect himself.

(And, well, pulling a little from the comics, Barry is the Speed Force, or it came from him, either way there's an echo of Barry within it, of course the Speed Force wanted Cisco safe, and maybe it was a part of Barry that chose to give Cisco the powers to stop him should they ever need it after all)

THE FLASH…II

CHAPTER NINE: PROGENY

TW: mention of grave injuries, anxiety and panic attacks, blood, violence, paralysis and weapons

The red, flickering light was giving Barry a headache. And loud noise was worsening it. The collected façade he had put on crumbled as the rapid beeping of the monitor next to him melted in with sound of the alarm, creating a strident and discordant cacophony.

His heart was hammering against his ribs, preventing his lungs from inhaling the needed amount of air. Barry could feel his entire body vibrate with anxiety. Every muscle, every bone, every single cell that composed his anatomy was palpitating. Barry felt small yet powerful shocks of electricity travel from a finger to another, as he clenched his jaw so hard that he could hear his teeth scraping against one another.

Barry knew what it meant, the siren and the scarlet light. He knew it too well. Last time it rang he ended up trapped in a hospital bed, poked by five different needles and attached to as many monitors. He was almost completely sure he couldn't feel his legs properly.

But that wasn't the source of his worry. Surprisingly.

The source of the despicable feeling itching under his skin was Oliver.

Oliver who had run out at the hideous sound.

Oliver who was currently speeding through the city's busy streets with murderous intents clouding his mind.

Oliver who was out there, risking his life for him. Because of him.

Oliver was a talented fighter. A skilled archer. He was cunning, intelligent, observant. He was a quick thinker, witty and reflective. But Zoom? Barry was used to confront metahumans. One could say he was used to confront Zoom. Sure he wasn't good at it, but he was used to it. But Zoom was fast. In all its meanings. He could reach what Barry considered impossible goals. He was cruel, malicious, villainous. He was pure evil.

Zoom was a monster.

"Cisco!"

His voice scratched its way out.

"Cisco!"

His friend barged into the room. Barry was trying to get out of the bed, clearly struggling to do so. Cisco hurried towards him with a wheelchair. He put his arm around his friend torso and rapidly transferred him to the chair. Caitlin was protesting in the background, but her words were a blur to Barry. All he could hear was the alarm and his thoughts, running almost as fast as him.

It was excruciatingly upsetting waiting by the computers. Not a red dot moving through the city's map. Not a signal from the satellite. Not a sign from the com-link. An anguished silence embraced the room. Everyone stayed immobile in their positions. Cisco's grip on the wheelchair loosened. Iris hand remained on the keyboard. Joe didn't dare to move from the doorway.

Nothing happened. It was as if time had stopped running. The world had stopped. Not ever air moved around them. Everything was frighteningly still.

The horrendous quietness squeezed Barry's lungs. He abruptly clenched the wheels of the chair and sprinted towards the desk. He not so gently shoved Iris and Caitlin away and feverishly started typing something, anything that could possibly give him a sign that Oliver was at least still alive.

Joe stepped away from the entrance and approached carefully his son. He had raised him, he had been blessed with the chance to see Barry at his highest and cursed with opportunity to console him through his lowest.

But that. That psychotic reaction. That unhinged behaviour. He had never seen him like that. Joe was pretty sure he had never witnessed anyone act like that.

"Bear" he tried to say in a calming manner.

The boy turned towards him, his eyes darted frenetically around the room as he panted heavily. He looked mad.

"Don't"

Joe had never heard Barry's voice sound do shrill and aggressive. Until then he had firmly believed Barry was incapable of such rage.

He was a traumatised kid, he had developed quite severe anger issues in high school. He had lashed out at Joe before. But never like that.

His voice had been harsh, it had dripped with fury before. But never like that. It had never been so violent, so bitter. It had never been so rabid and infuriated.

Joe wasn't given the time to react. Barry had already turned back to the screens and was once again typing incoherent numbers, hoping that would solve something.

Perhaps it did. They couldn't be sure. But something happened.

"Is that?" Caitlin mumbled to herself.

"It's impossible"

The others turned to her out of confusion.

"What?" Iris spoke for the first time since the call she made days before. Everyone turned to the young doctor.

"When" she stuttered out slowly.

"When Zoom first appeared, Cisco and I decided to upgrade the S.T.A.R labs' satellite to possibly be able to trace speedsters. We use it on Barry and of course Zoom. But"

She then paused. Caitlin was never one for dramatic, long movie-like pauses.

And it was quite obvious she wasn't starting a new habit now.

"But what Caitlin" Barry harshly commanded.

"But the speedster it has traced just now... it isn't zoom"

Barry's heart jump to his throat and then sink down to his stomach. He physically felt the blood drain from his face. For the first time after the lightning and the coma, Barry wished he wasn't gifted with that power. For the first time in over a year, Barry considered his speed a curse. Not a gift, not a casualty, a curse.

How he wished he had never gone back to his lab that night. How he desired to be that he still had one life. One simple, boring, normal life.

But he didn't. He had gone back to his lab that night. He had a second fast, dynamic, adrenaline inducing life. And he was sitting on a wheelchair in the middle of the former most important laboratories of the state, trying to suppress his anxiety while his breath shortened  for perhaps the fifth time that day.

"Bear" the soft whisper that shattered the silence forcefully pulled Barry out of his hurricane of thoughts.

"Ollie"

Barry's tried to move but he was paralysed. Quite literally.

Before he could process that, Oliver sprinted away from the door.

"There's another one" he ranted

"Another speedster. A girl. A young one, not older than 14. She- she was, I don't know, terrifying.

She appeared out of nowhere, she seemed to have history with Zoom. But he didn't. She said something like "know me yet". It was all a blur. She was incredibly quick and violent.

She called herself the flash"

The team wasn't granted the time to respond or react.

"Because I am" an orphic voice claimed. A thin, short unknown figure was leaning against the wall. The delicate features that picked under the vibrant red mask appeared slightly battered. A dried streak of dark vermillion blood stained her left nostril, melting in with the purpurin bruise under her chin.

The white and scarlet leather hugged her body like a second skin.

She had a snarky smirk plastered on her face, in great contrast with the look in her eyes. Soft, melancholic. Stunned even.

She suddenly took her mask off, moving the reddish hair out of her sight. She seemed awfully familiar. But Barry didn't know why. He couldn't recognise her. She was like a itch one can't scratch.

Then she spoke again. Voice low, almost a whisper.

"I'm Nora Queen-Allen, and I'm your daughter from 20 years in the future."

[kitkatt0430]

Hmm Harry Wells for the character ask game?

one aspect about them i love

Only one? :D

He's an actions over words guy, so while he can be suave and polished when he needs to be... it's usually because he's basically wearing a mask. It's practiced words and attitude, he's playing the part of CEO of STAR Labs. When he's being honest and spontaneous, he's much more raw and struggles with his words. Trips over his tongue a lot, has moments of lethologica (the inability to remember the right word - aka tip of the tongue syndrome), stammers when upset, has other people (often Cisco) outright speak for him.

But no matter what Harry is or isn't saying, his actions speak loudly. He pays attention to the people around him - he notices Cisco having a nosebleed when the Reverse Flash is in custody when no one else seems to - and he puts himself in harms way to protect those he loves because he cannot bear for them to be harmed themselves (likely the root of his S4 difficulties with Jesse). When he's unable to voice his feelings about Tess to Jesse, he builds a device that lets him share those emotions and memories anyway.

one aspect i wish more people understood about them

Harry's control issues come not from arrogance but from trauma. That's not to say he isn't arrogant, but his micromanaging of Team Quick that got him kicked out wasn't him feeling like Jesse was incapable of handling things without him. But from the trauma of her having been kidnapped for months with him not knowing if she was alive or dead. Having her used against him to force him to work against people he'd grown to care about. Her running away and him, again, not knowing where she was but this time it was her choice and both times it was his fault.

Part of him feels like if he can be there, then he can stop the bad things from happening. That he can take the safety that protects him and give it to her. Like when her protective headphones failed, so he gave her his. If he can just think of every possible way something can go wrong, then he can ensure it doesn't.

He doesn't just do that with Jesse - he does it with Team Flash. They should have waited to bring back Barry because maybe he'd have thought of something they didn't and then there wouldn't be bus metas dying. Maybe if he could just think faster, better, less encumbered by his self doubts he could plan for all contingencies and keep his friends from getting hurt or dying in their dangerous fights...

Harry's a control freak not because he thinks he's better than everyone else, but because he doesn't. But he has to try to be there to protect them anyway.

one (or more) headcanon(s) i have about this character

He's autistic. Undiagnosed and it would probably never occur to him to seek a diagnosis out, but it informs a lot of his behaviors and unwitting coping techniques.

He was a soldier at some point and has PTSD from that. Possibly the War of the Americas, depending on how old Hunter Zolomon is supposed to be. Maybe some conflict that happened afterwards. Harry has some mannerisms that would fit having been in the army at some point, so it really just fits. And I think it was at this point in his life where he first met Tess.

Harry's arospec. Demiromantic most likely. He's not interested in labels for himself - he's how he is, why is naming it important? - so he'd probably never really identify that way himself. But Tess was the first person he ever fell in love with and it was because they had a bond between them already.

one character i love seeing them interact with

Cisco. Whether their relationship is interpreted as platonic or romantic, they just get each other in a way they don't with anyone else. Cisco and Barry come close, but Cisco and Harry are just on the same wavelength. They finish each other's sentences and are in sync when working on tech together. Harry is always hyper aware of when something is wrong with Cisco and Cisco understands Harry, almost instinctively, in a way no one else - not even Jesse - does.

one character i wish they would interact with/interact with more

Jesse. I do get that her availability was limited due to other commitments at times and at others it was down to limited budget and having to pick and choose guest stars, but...

She's his daughter and so much of Harry's trauma has to do with her. I wish they'd been able to spend more time together on screen to show both of them in their struggles to connect with each other. Harry having to accept Jesse as an adult that he can't shelter and protect anymore and Jesse having to recognize that her dad being imperfect and flawed is okay.

one (or more) headcanon(s) i have that involve them and one other character

As mentioned above, Harry met Tess while he was a soldier. I'd like to think maybe she was a nurse or MD having to put up with Harry being a completely awful patient and somehow charming her anyway.

Cisco visited Harry a lot during S5. Since Cisco didn't discuss ditching his powers much with Barry or Caitlin - for them he just kinda went from 'I like my powers' to 'I'm gonna get rid of my powers' - it was Harry he talked a lot to about the downsides of his abilities and his deeper reasons for wanting to get rid of them. And he had Harry's support, despite them both knowing that it'd mean fewer visits between them since they'd be dependent on tech that required lots of power to bridge realities instead of Cisco being able to breach over on a whim. It was a much harder decision for Cisco than shown on screen.

Harry isn't dead. When artificial Speed Force was destroyed, it released the energy of all the Wells, not just Timeless!Wells, and sent them all back to where they belonged... or the nearest equivalent. Possibly causing lost worlds to be restored in the process thanks to the new multi-verse existing. So Harry, HR, etc... they all get a second chance at life. Some with weird and unexpected powers, like Timeless!Wells, and with some echoes of other Wells memories. But he's alive. And so is Jesse. And I refuse to believe otherwise. (Timeless!Wells only thinks the others are dead because it's the hypothesis that makes the most sense to him.)

15. Do you have any piercings?

A Will and A Way || -

For a moment she thinks she has to have misheard Cisco. Not because what he said came across as though he'd been gargling mouth-wash with his lips pressed together while he was underwater. No, rather than the Charlie Brown Teacher sound effects, every word is clear and sharp and absolutely his voice in her ears though he's a respectable distance ~the other side of the table~ from her. Such an unexpected question and heard in a way she's unused to manages to scrunch her face in confusion. First, Cisco is never really comfortable talking about things like that. Idle discourse while they're working ranges the gamut of favourite video games, worst comic adaptations on streaming services, the nature of scientific advancement and the ethics they are bound in. Whenever she teases him about anything personal or untoward he tends to deflect with shyness and humour and in a lot of ways it feels like she's torturing him for no real reason. Second, she can't begin to understand why exactly he was asking. Was he considering getting his own piercings? Is he seeing someone and he needs to get some advice about how to work his way around them? Which brings up a more important question which is why he hadn't mentioned he'd met someone? Since when had she been out of the loop and how had she missed something so huge? "Uh." Ah yes, the eloquence of her intellect. Any day now, they're going to come along and confiscate her S*T *A*R Lab ID card and send her packing. Exactly what the Admiral would expect and would use at his pleasure to flay her alive. She keys in one more sequence before she slides out of her chair and comes around to Cisco's side of the table. This is a show-and-tell matter. She turns her head to the left so he can see her ear plain as day, and the four total she has there. "Lobe, and upper lobe," she says, pointing to the two lowest and most natural looking ones. Today, there's a crescent moon with a jewelled star in the lobe, an actual diamond solitaire in the upper. "Tragus" This is the opal stud in the bit of the ear attached to her upper cheek. Then she touches the silver ring and ball on the upper outer rim of her ear. "Helix." Then she shifts and offers him her right profile and the three there. The bar is the first one she points out. "Industrial." A matching solitaire diamond in the upper lobe, then a sort of tribal faux ruby in the lobe. "Bu wait, dere's more," she winks. She never takes her eyes off his face as she reaches down and unbuttons her jeans from first to last, and shimmies the denim down low enough that he gets a decent view of black lace against her skin. Three little aquamarine studs draw the eye to her narrow hip bone. "Sub-dermal implant. Dis one I got talked into when I was small kine tipsy." John had told her it was for protection. He'd held her head and whispered into her ear until the very last thing she was thinking about was someone cutting into her flesh and implanting metal into her body. If she was honest with herself, she's pretty sure John could have talked her into anything that night, and all the ones that came after before he disappeared from her life. But Cisco doesn't need to know that. To cover the sudden change in her expression, she turns around, back to him, and raises her shirt up a little. "An' I always keep small kine of home with me wherevah I go. Dis is symbolic of my aumakua, my islands, an' dere beauty." She doesn't mention or show him the other tattoos. They haven't gotten quite that close. "Now I'ma beatcha t' da punch an' say… no I don' got nipple piercings or ones…ah… down dere. I don' see da appeal, an' hand f' God, as a medical doctor, havin' dem can actually cause you to eventually lose sensitivity in dose places. So if ya considerin' piecings on ya… bits… my advice is���yeah, naw, brah."

MR. ROBOT REWATCH, 2x04: “eps2.2_init_1.asec”

-Wait, so Darlene got their fsociety mask at a 99-cent store and they just decided that would be their logo?

-Also, where was Darlene before this? Elliot asked her when she got back to town, so how long has she been gone?

-What does Init 1 mean?

-So, how long ago was this? Cause Elliot mentioned he was seeing a shrink, who I'm assuming is Krista.

-Seeing Elliot in the Mr. Robot jacket and fsociety mask is kind of creepy.

-Wait, so is wearing the jacket and mask start Elliot's split?

-So, you're telling me Darlene didn't find any of that weird or suspicious?

-Were those people wearing gas masks on the subway?

-Dude is that person just sitting on the train lost in VR.

-Damn Darlene, really?

-Also, when I first watched this, how did I not see the twist coming when their mom doesn't acknowledge Darlene or vice versa.

-Well shit, I hope none of them try to come back to the arcade.

-Okay, I don't like this guy. I mean, I see where they're coming from, but trust Dom will ya?

-Joanna, he's worried about his life. Unless you can guarantee his safety, then anything you say isn't worth shit to him.

-So, did Angela turn those guys in or did Price?

-I don't get what Ray's angle is. I mean, I know he wants Elliot to help him do something, but I feel like he's up to something else.

-Okay, so Angela gave the stuff to her lawyer friend?

-So, Elliot & Robot are going to play chess to see who gets control?

-So, he's openly talking about Mr. Robot to Krista?

-Krista wants to talk to Mr. Robot?

-See I also think Elliot's afraid of what Robot would do or say to Krista.

-WHITEROSE!! Oh, how I've missed your face.

-How involved is Price in all this? Also, how much does he know about?

-I need to know more about Whiterose!!

-Whoa, why is Joanna visiting Scott?

-Oh, for Tyrell's money.

-Damn, Joanna, are you really willing to throw Tyrell under the bus like that?

-Okay, Scott don't punish an innocent baby who didn't even ask to be here.

-Who is following Darlene?!

-Was that Cisco?

-Okay, it was Cisco. What does he want?

-Cisco is right. Elliot needs to know about Romero being murdered.

-Really? In the bar bathroom?

-But how do you know no one talked to the FBI Darlene? Have you been watching everyone like a hawk?

-Yeah, Darlene, this is some serious shit. You should have listened to Elliot earlier when he told you to back off.

-Darlene: "How the fuck did this happen?" Cisco: "You seriously asking that?" SAME CISCO!!

-Damn that was an abrupt cut.

-Wait, did Leon finish watching all of Seinfeld?

-Bro, Leon so philosophical and I kind of love it.

-Damn Joanna, way to crush a guy's dreams.

-Okay, I get your point Joanna, but you could have said it in a way that didn't make this guy feel like shit.

-I love that even in Elliot's imagination he's always wearing the same cloths.

-God, I really wish this dream of his could be real. Elliot deserves this kind of happiness.

-Fuck, we're actually going to play chess.

-It's always going to be a stalemate because they both want to win, right?

-Oh shit, Angela's confronting Price.

-Okay, you may not be wrong Angela, but he's not going to give you what you want.

-Oh shit, I don't think Robot even knew Elliot was going to help Ray.

-So, is Elliot agreeing just so that he can get computer access?

-What is your online business Ray?

-Ray, you should have never said that because now you've just made Elliot curious.

-Shit, Darlene you can't just dump all that on Elliot like that.

-HACKING THE FBI?!

Gonna go the less expected route here: Julian Albert, Kamilla Hwang, and Joe West for the fictional character bingo.

Ooh I appreciate the variety!

Julian Albert:

He just kind of Exists to me 🤷‍♀️ I also didn’t like Caitlin/Julian (hence “canon’s not real if I don’t look at it”). I found him kinda off-putting tbh. The show’s no stranger to jerk characters (Harry, Ralph), but Julian doesn’t really have the charisma to endear him to me like Harry and (to a lesser extent) Ralph do.

Also, he was only really there a) for Caitlin’s plotline (and his inclusion in all of it fell flat for me) and b) for the Alchemy red herring (which, as with Savitar pre-reveal, was a waste of time imo)

Kamilla Hwang:

So admittedly I used to be a lot more neutral towards her, if only because I felt she and Cisco were kinda thrown together by the writing and not given a ton of development as a couple. I…still somewhat feel this way, but I also like the two of them together…and as far as Cisco ships go, Kamisco’s my favorite 💞 (Goldenvibe is second for me, and I’ve been warming up to that more lately too)

Also, since Kamilla is your favorite, I’ve become fonder of her and Kamisco through following you 🥰 Kamilla is sweet, driven, and when the show does allow them to spend time together onscreen, they seem to get each other in a very special way. It’s not my favorite ship, but I find it a sweet one regardless.

As for “the fandom’s so mean”…something I’ve noticed is how some Caitlin/Cisco shippers tend to write Kamisco (and Kamilla, by extension) as very boring/bland/not right for Cisco. Which…fine, people can have ship preferences, but I remember one fic in which a character told Cisco, “[Kamilla’s] nice, but you deserve better than nice”, and that irked me.

Like…I get that Kamisco isn’t as developed as Caitlin and Cisco’s friendship, and even I shipped Caitlin/Cisco for a time, but…it rubs me the wrong way to see a white woman prioritized over a WOC as Cisco’s love interest when canonically, he’s only ever romantically been interested in said WOC and not the white woman. I get the fondness for Caitlin/Cisco, but if you need to throw Kamilla, a WOC and Cisco’s canon love interest, under the bus to do it…I question how strong your ship really is.

(Fun fact, fics like this are part of the reason I don’t really ship Caitlin/Cisco anymore!)

Joe West:

So…I have mixed opinions. I love him in most of the show, especially his relationships with Barry, Iris, Cisco, and Wally. Even his dynamic with Harry in s2!

I don’t, however, like him in s1 with Iris, and even with Barry, mostly pre-reveal. When he’s shooting down Barry at every turn, making him feel stupid, not even entertaining the idea of the impossible, not even stopping when he sees Barry’s given up the fight…yeah, that was sucky of him. It shouldn’t have taken Iris’s intervening for him to back off.

And with Iris…the lying, the gaslighting, the coddling…listen, I get he’s overprotective, but he is way moreso of Iris than Barry. Keeping her out of the loop for so long and not even apologizing to her?? Joe, Barry made his choice, but you also asked him to do it! You lied to Iris for months and acted like she was crazy when she mentioned seeing the Streak! You even got mad at Barry for Iris’s choice to put her name on her blog!

And that stuff with Eddie…ugh, that’s infuriating. The way Joe acts so entitled to her love life in s1, the way he denies Eddie permission to propose for ages just because he thinks he knows better than Iris who she should marry?? And the show doesn’t win any points with me for treating him as being right for that.

Oh, and also Armageddon?? When he yells at Barry and Iris for wanting to let Thawne die?? Saying they’d be destroying their family by doing so?? JOE CAN YOU BFFR?? We’re talking about EOBARD THAWNE! Killed Nora Allen, framed Henry Allen, stalked your son-in-law, killed Cisco, killed Eddie, killed your granddaughter, changed time and almost married your daughter??

I do love him in the rest of the show though, I think he’s a great fountain of wisdom and his relationships with his kids shine (hence the square with all the hearts, because when those relationships are at the forefront outside of s1, it’s like magic). It’s just those instances when I dislike him.

send me a character (or multiple) and I’ll fill out the bingo!

The Barriscowest Sherlock Holmes AU is so much fun to write.

There are a few reasons The Fraudulent Scientist (The Untold Parts) is set in Brighton. One, it's not exactly a joke, but Central City has a part called New Brighton, so the fic set in the past takes place in Old Brighton.

And part of it is Sherlock Holmes retired to Sussex, Arthur Conan Doyle lived in Sussex for a bit, it's a good place for a setting, and maybe a little Brighton because it gets called the gay capital of the UK sometimes, which felt appropriate. This bus is in use all year, not just for Pride weekend. If you ever go to Brighton, get the bus or the train, parking costs so much money in Brighton.

The main reason is I did not have to do much research.

The Fraudulent Scientist was a fill for Writer's Month last year that I wrote the evening before so I knew I did not have much time to write it. So I knew if I wanted to write something historical, probably Victorian to fit with the Sherlock Holmes inspiration, I would have to write something I already have some level of familiarity with. I learnt about the Victorians at school, that seemed like it would do, I didn't need to be that accurate, but I live in England and always have so my school history lessons have always been what was up in Britain. Except the slave trade, we did the American slave trade instead of the British for 'some mysterious reason'.

(Honestly, I think Horrible Histories taught me way more than school).

And I have read a few classics from the era, including some Sherlock Holmes that we studied at school and wrote essays on, enough I that I thought I could passably mimic the style, but again, mostly written by Brits.

(Jules Verne is the most notable exception- but the second fic, A Reunion of Brothers, is part set in Paris. These are translations I have read, I am very bad at French)

So rather than do lots of research on what was up in America at this point to write a historic Central City I just thought fuck it and moved them to London. Cisco is still American, he moved, but everyone else gets to be in the one I am much more familiar with.

And the place I am most familiar with of all is Sussex, where I live (I am not getting more specific than Sussex), which meant I could write the whole fic very quickly and only actually looked up where the lifeboat station was at that point and when Lewes Prison opened.

Likewise the most recent fic, The Mystery Lantern, was written as a quick prompt fill so it's Hastings because I have been there, and it's a little inspired by smuggling without explicitly being about smuggling because there are stories of smugglers down there and it's really about a shipwreck because I know there are loads of wrecks off Hastings, they have the Shipwreck Museum down there which I would recommend, they have a dinosaur footprint in it. It's a little museum, it's in an old church, it's down by the boats and Hastings actually had the largest remaining beach launched fishing fleet in the country, they don't have a harbour, they get pulled up the shingle so they're all little boats, the Shipwreck Museum is also opposite the aquarium which is nice, anyway. It's about things I already know a little about but not mountains, so I can get away with just checking a few dates and things.

I did do a little more research on the RNLI, but there is a programme on the BBC called Saving Lives at Sea that is about the lifeboats now and because the RNLI are 200 this year plus it's the 80th anniversary of D-Day the first episode of the most recent series was about the RNLI during WW2, and I remember being quite small and our school trip included going to see a lifeboat and one of the lifeboat people telling us all about what they do and some history, so again there's little bits I've picked up that I can add in- like Frankie (Kane) being one of the people at the station in The Fraudulent Scientist, while she probably wouldn't have been part of the crew, women were involved in launching the boats even back then- and the rest I can kind of gloss over.

And the lifeboats specifically because even now they are all volunteers who go out into danger to save people, and it seemed like the best role to stick the superhero in in an AU where he has no powers.

It does also get a little nerve wracking sometimes- Cisco's trans in this AU (that I did do a bit more research for), and it's a historic period that necessitates Iris, Cisco, and Barry being closeted, and it has a part to play in that the story behind these is that Iris and Cisco are writing down for their grandchildren what they wants them to know but they aren't old enough to understand and dont know if they will ever be able to tell them, but I don't want that to be the whole story? It's something important, but I want it to be something that Iris was never going to put it in the stories that went to press, but in their daily lives their friends and their families might not bring it up and confirm it- much like Iris always call Roderick "Hartley's very good friend"- but it isn't something they judge them for, they are loved and happy and they have long, happy lives together, and I do get nervous about whether that balance is in the right place.

It's really fun to write though.

Thank you!
