Alternative Backstories
The Flash Family
In 1940, young college student Jay Garrick became The Flash. He and his comrades in The Justice Society of America fought not only international threats but also enemies close to home. For the young Flash, that included the likes of The Rival (Edward Clariss) and the Fiddler.
During the Red Scare, the JSA were forced to disband and go into hiding. Jay Garrick and his wife Joan changed their names Henry and Nora Allen and moved to Keystone City, a part of Greater Central City.
For a time, they lived in peace, growing a family together. One day, however, the past came back with a vengeance.
In the past, there once was a boy named Eobard Thawne. He was a smart boy who had a hard life. The only thing that really brought him joy was The Flash.
One day, he managed to get his hands on The Rival’s Velocity 9 formula. Eobard, the smart boy he was, managed to make it better.
After becoming a speedster, Eobard dubbed himself Zoom and quickly raced off to be with his idol.
At first amused and worried for the young man, Jay as The Flash took him under his wing. Unfortunately, it became clear the young speedster didn’t truly understand what it meant to be a hero. His brutality and selfishness forced Jay to defeat him.
Angry and hurt from the betrayal, Zoom managed to flee, faking his own death to avoid getting hunted down by the JSA.
Furious at his mentor, Eobard swore to ruin Jay’s life. Hence, Theobard Thawne became the Reverse-Flash.
For a time, Reverse-Flash focused on strengthening his powers as well as hunt down all information related to The Flash.
Finally he was ready.
Using the Speed Force to both slow down his own aging and to time travel, Reverse-Flash killed Nora. Then using little Barry’s life as blackmail, he threatened Henry to take the blame for his wife’s death and to stay in jail.
While waiting for young Barry to become the Flash, Reverse Flash increased his powers and connections. He created an identity as Professor Thawne at the little known Flash museum.
He would go on to act as both Barry’s mentor and mysterious foe until his deceit was uncovered.

YES FELLOW KAEYA ENJOYER 🙌🙌🙌🙌 I woukd LOVE to hear your thoughts its so hard to find anyone talking about all of kaeyas lore and implications
HI FELLOW KAEYA ENJOYER!!!!
Thank you so much! I have actually started the process of writing down my thoughts and even realized that, because of how much all of Kaeya’s lore and implications and references connect together, a mind map might actually be a better format for listen all of my thoughts than just a text post. But then, ah…I started the VERY rough draft for this mind map and I’m realizing it’s already getting so huge and complicated, I’m actually worried about whether or not I’ll be able to make it cohesive and readable.
I think that might be why it’s so hard to find anyone talking about ALL of Kaeya’s lore & myth connections & implications. THERE’S JUST SO MUCH!!! Kaeya, you have so much going on!!!! And, like, good for you, beloved, but it’s not easy for the theorists!
Anyways, in case anyone is curious, here’s a look at what I’ve got so far for the super-rough draft of a mind map for all my unhinged Kaeya lore thoughts:
Thank you for the nice message, anon!

So, hey. How did you and your family celebrate Passover when you were a kid? How about now?
My Rhode Island aunt and uncle almost always hosted a big family Seder, and it was the absolute best. A good Seder is educational, food-filled, and legit fun—it's a ritual meal that includes storytelling, singing, prayers, and a general focus on including and teaching everyone involved, regardless of age or even whether attendees are Jewish. (If ever you're invited to a friend's Seder, go! Do not bring a challah, which my actually-bar-mitzvahed brother-in-law did once as an attempt at a thoughtful host gift. We still make fun of him.)
And my uncle (the same one who officiated at my wedding, and the wedding of my other sister) may well be the greatest host/leader there is; over the years he compiled from a medley of sources what added up to his own Haggadah (basically the guidebook to the Seder—there are a million published and informal versions working off the same template, with readings and activities and interpretations that can go kid-centric or feminist or traditional or whatever). It was always just insanely fun, and warm, and joyous, with incredible food and an increasing array of baked-in, just-us traditions.
Since I went to college basically down the street from their house, and then lived just an hour away in Boston for so long, that was pretty much the heart of my and my family's celebration most years—right up until Passover 2020, at which point the pandemic negated what had been plans to travel from our new home in Illinois for it, and they also downsized and had their own kids scatter geographically and gain very little ones, so that particular tradition is at best on hiatus now.
But there are fun Seders everywhere—well, the Zoom ones of the pandemic years were a mixed bag, but we've found friends who've make a good go of it, over the years, too, if not quite as an elaborately planned out hourslong celebration as my uncle would do. When I studied abroad in Denmark, Boyfriend and I went to an Orthodox Seder that was in a mix of Danish and Hebrew, for instance—that was novel, and so much of the procedure and the Hebrew was familiar enough to follow along.
Still working on exactly where we'll be for those two nights this year (we haven't really met any Jewish families in Pittsburgh yet to garner an invite, and none of the Reform or Conservative synagogues seem to have community events, which is surprising? And I don't really want to go to Chabad?) but we'll figure something out.
That said, as fun as the Seders can and should be, the rest of Passover is a slog of not eating bread or adjacent products, and experiencing whatever it is matzah does to one's digestive system over the course of a week. It's a meaningful observance, and the fact that the relevant rabbinical boards have stopped including rice and legumes in the "no" column in recent years has been great, but...it's ultimately a holiday recalling the story of the Exodus, and how we were slaves once, so, like, there are some less-fun elements. But the freedom celebration parts usually outweigh that!
