honestly? I love that. As someone who has multiple siblings, I respect that take heavily
What if I lived in a reality where Wally and Bart were close
#I’m now just imagining Wally giving Bart a figurine he found on clearance from a show Bart mentioned a month ago#Bart’s confused because a month is Forever ago and he’s long moved on to other interests#but Wally’s like ‘I gave him a gift from smth I remembered he liked. i did a good job:)’#meanwhile Bart’s just baffled sitting on Max’s living room couch like ‘wait. huh?!’#it’s a begrudging ‘i don’t entirely hate you but don’t you dare tell max’#Their styles of love language are very different in that Wally’s trying his best & Bart isn’t the best at giving gifts at first#bones writes in the tags#I’d imagine they also clash because when trying to show affection- bart & Wally’s love language just doesn’t mesh#Bart doesn’t really like Wally at first so he’s a little confused.#and doesn’t entirely know how to return Wally being nice to him because Wally doesn’t talk to him much#but Bart talks At Wally when he comes over often. might be a fun lesson for Bart to sit down and listen: something he’s known to struggle w/#when trying to find a way to return a gift back. I’d imagine the first few times he tried to do smth in return it’d be an activity#but he’d mess up the first few times. depending on how early this is in Bart & Wally’s relationship it could be smth like Wally complaining-#about his food bill & Bart just steals food from a grocery store for Wally. he’s trying to be helpful-just not going about it the right way.#eventually as Bart learns social norms & how the world works outside of VR & gets to know Wally better-#it goes from understanding that a ‘thank you’ and telling Wally that he liked the gift can be enough of a payment back & understanding-#the thoughtfulness of the gift. to realizing that it’d help Wally significantly if he learned how to get better at -#moving bystanders and civilians out of the radius of rogue fights. to taking over duty as The Flash in Central City when he got older so-#so Wally could have an uninterrupted date with Linda.#like- considering Bart’s large belief in the beginning was his value was tied to his abilities as a hero- most of his gifts back would be-#in the beginning sidelining ‘main hero’ duties and helping Wally like he’d a sidekick. because in the beginning- that action would have a -#Lot of meaning to Bart.#because all Bart wants to do is rush into the action and prove his worth so Max will train him to do the cool hero stuff#instead of the lame stuff like learning patience and how to be a normal kid#it takes Wally a while to realize that Bart is trying to show he cares in his own way.#i can’t personally picture their relationship as anything but very non-typical.#it’d take a while for them to get along- but I’d like to imagine Wally trying to show that he cares for Bart & Bart for Wally but in very-#different ways. but once they start getting along better- Wally does things like tell Bart the best places to get cheap food to satisfy -#his calorie count with a tight budget. and etc. they show eachother they care but it’s in their own special way I’d imagine#plus I’d love a comic of Dick finding Wally taking Bart out for icecream & Wally trying to make excuses abt how it Totally wasn’t his idea
