Wonderbird Chron. Part II is gonna be updated! I've set the end of the month as my goal to update The Wonderbird Chronicles Part II with its latest chapter. I'm sitting at 5000 words and I am quickly coming up on the end. Then it's just editing and posting it. Thank you all for your support!

Young Justice was such a wild show. Like. It's based off a 90's comic by the same name. It contains exactly 1 (one) character from the source media, who they immediately change beyond recognition. It used Dick Grayson's Robin and Wally West's Kid Flash, but made Roy Harper the old jaded one. Instead of Wondergirl, they gave Martian Manhunter a niece. They invented a brand new Aqualad. A random 90's villain gets shunted into Arrowette's role, arguably gets the most compelling emotional story of the entire show, and turns out to be related to half the villains they ever meet.

They're a secret black ops team made entirely of teenagers. At one point several of them die onscreen. The martian almost murders several people. There's kind of a pseudo incest plot. There is an episode that takes place almost entirely through mandated therapy sessions.

The show does actually bring in a second character from the original Young Justice, in an episode where Artemis almost dies only to be saved by Secret, the ghost of the villain's sister (who was a member of the original comics team). In the same episode, Superboy and Miss Martian trick a classmate into thinking there's an alien invasion using a Loony Tunes character. Neither of these events are ever mentioned again.

The timeline of the show means that Dick Grayson became Nightwing at 15. They accidentally create Beast Boy because Miss Martian has been impersonating his mom. Aqualad ends up as the leader of the Justice League.

Five years go by between seasons, resulting in a completely different show. I could make the argument that Young Justice was Weisman's OC fanfiction of the comic series. Everything after season 2 is unwatchable. This is the show that got me into fandom. I adore it.

You know what I miss? Young Justice.

I miss the weekly episodes, the theories, the character analysis, the constant clowning about Wally being alive. It was one of my favorite shows.

Another character key hehe 🤲 Finally got to ironing out Tim’s suit from my fic 🤔 but don’t worry about the glider suit, he gets his cape back eventually! Also, not noted above but I tried to style the back like Ted Kord’s suit,, Timmy’s gotta add his own fixations into his designs lol

[kidflashimpulse]

this screen cap gets me every time cause Jaimes in full Reach Mode ™️, Bart is completely K.O and Tim has never been more shocked lol

what's bluepulse? (reffering to your description that says you ship it)

*pushes everything off the table to explain*

i'm glad you asked.

so first lets meet the characters involved.

this is DC comics' Blue Beetle. AKA Jaime Reyes. he is very cool. he looks like this:

he has a piece of alien technology attached to his back called The Scarab, or Khaji Da, which gives him his powers. it was created by aliens called The Reach. it was first discovered by archaeologist Dan Garret, the first Blue Beetle. Then, Ted Kord later studied it further, the second Blue Beetle. but Jaime, the third Blue Beetle, is the only one to have access to its full power, because he is the host that the scarab chose.

this is DC comics' Impulse, AKA Bart Allen. he is also very cool. he looks like this:

he is from the future, and he was born with superspeed. his character first came out in the 90s (i think? or 80s) and he had his own comics for a while.

jaime, on the other hand, was first introduced in 2006? i wanna say? and his comics are still being released im pretty sure. he also recently had his own movie come out!

BUT why do i ship them? well, in 2010, a show called Young Justice came out. the first season was focused on the protégés of the justice league. but the SECOND SEASON is what we're really interested in. see, that's when bart and jaime were introduced to the show. and even from a non-shipping standpoint, their friendship is my favourite part of the whole season. but from a shipping standpoint, their crushes on each-other are my favourite part of the whole season.

(...and no, they're not canon, by the way.)

i could go into more detail, but that would require me to explain all the events of season 2, which i don't want to do right now because 1: i don't wanna spoil anything in case you or anyone else are interested in checking this out yourself, and 2: it is midnight

hope that explains stuff a bit, though! i looooved getting to talk about it just now!!!!!!!

You know she already fine in season 1 and 2..

BUT THEN THE ANIMATORS BLESSED US WITH THIS HUMAN IN SEASON 3 AND 4

EVEN WHEN SHE'S A CHILD SHE'S ADORABLE

Gurl i swear she's making me question my sexuality rn 😭

But that still doesn't mean I forgive the writers about Wally's death-
