#like yes kf wally was funny but he was also really melodramatic and drastic and many times could be so rude

[cybervigilante]

talking about wally and roy on main has me thinking about how much wally benefitted from taking up the flash mantel. his early anxieties were always rooted in a weird kind of identity crisis mixed with a dire need for attention and recognition, and while the identity crisis persists even after he becomes the flash iii, what with the comparisons between him and barry just pouring in, once he constructs his own legacy ( founding and establishing the flash family, saving the world a billion times over, becoming the fastest man alive and surpassing barry ( and becoming the speedforce's darling ), being a mainstay in the league for his own capabilities rather than just being a replacement speedster and also finding linda and having the twins. ), he literally becomes less of a jerk and more of the genuinely good, kindhearted, funny hero we all think of when we think of wallace west.
