A moment of silence for the fics you are not currently writing.
Change my mind
I've been writing so many fanfics lately. All of which have mostly been about Bart. And also mostly BartJay cause I will nEvEr give it up... Anywho, I have one that I'm SUUUPER excited for! It's about Bart being on the side of the villains, even though he's a mutual, and the relationships he'd have if he were on the otherside. Exclusivley, Uncle Snart, Brother Thad, Brother Owen, "Grandpa" Thawne (even though he really doesn't care), and all in all rogue shinanigans. It's also angsty, but I'm happy about it!
OH! And there's another that I'm happy about too! Bart basically makes a paradox where he never met any of his family or friends or becomes close to them, so he's forced to be a lone hero until (spoiler) He joins the outsiders. (Yes this is a JayBart fic don't @ me)
*slowly slides you a pack of fruit gushers* please draw Impulse
It's funny to me because the brown one pushing the other one off is the female and the one falling is the Male. I'm pretty sure she just rejected his date.
A lot of the times speedsters have a certain something about them when they sleep that's caused by their powers. For Barry it's sleep (speed)talking, for Wally it's exsessive figiting, but Bart has a particular case.
Bart tends to get very emotional and when he feels extreme emotion his powers react with him and he starts to vibrate uncontrolably. This is normally a problem. But When he's asleep, he feels safe and happy, so much that his powers react but it's normally a small controlled vibration but enough that when he breaths it comes out choppy.
I repeat: BART ALLEN PURRS IN HIS SLEEP
It was noticed, and recorded durring one of the very first core four sleepovers by Tim, our notorius Insomniac, that overheard.
Just when everyone thought Bart couldn't get any cuter, that video 'mysetiously' surfaced on the phone of everone they knew.
WAIT I JUST READ YOUR TAGS WHATS YOUR THREE LIGHTNING RODS THEORY?
I AM SO GLAD SOMEONE ASKED THIS I WANTED TO RAMBLE ABOUT IT SO BADLY. I’m not sure how canon this is but it’s kind of based around the first issue of rebirth where Linda can’t pull Wally back from the speed force but Barry could and it got me thinking.
So there’s three types of love: romantic, platonic, and familial. Since each character that a speedster has had as a lightning rod could be connected through love in one of those forms, I sort of made up this theory around it. For example: Wally’s three lightning rods are Linda (romantic), Dick (platonic), and Barry (familial). Barry’s would be Iris, Hal, and Wally for the same reasons.
Obviously it doesn’t work for everyone (as far as I know, Bart barely has a love interest outside of that one girl from the Impulse comics forever ago), and it can absolutely change based on what you ship for the most part (Wally having Barry and Linda as lightning rods is canon lol), so they don’t HAVE to have three: if you want, they can have only one or two or three of the same kind etc but you get the picture. But it’s a really interesting theory to me mostly because of that fact that love of ALL types is such an important of what makes all of the speedsters heroes. I’ve been saying forever that their true power is love and friendship, but you know, it’s all just a theory. A really, really cool one. So yeah.
Any good dad bruce hcs?
everything I’ve ever written is good dad bruce and I don’t believe in anything else and I will die on the hill of good dad Bruce
bruce has skipped multiple justice league meetings because his kids asked him to stay home
he carries like jolly ranchers and starburst and candy like that in his utility belt because when dick was a kid be used to beg bruce to get him ice cream on every patrol and this was the best way bruce could find to get him to stop asking
When Jason was Robin, they made it a habit of going to every home game the Gotham Knights had whether it was Bruce and Jason eating hot dogs in the stands at the baseball stadium or Batman and Robin watching the field, hidden somewhere where they’ve got a perfect view
I think because of my dad I just associate dads with Star Trek now but like... Bruce watches Star Trek with his kids. Tim’s the only one who watched more than just the original series with him
Bruce had an exact replica made of his mother’s iconic pearl necklace (you know the one) and gave it to Cass for her birthday one year and she absolutely treasures it
Damian isn’t the most extroverted person and neither is Bruce so most of their interactions are just sitting in the room together (this also goes for Tim and Cass with these two) but a lot of times when Bruce is working from home Damian will sit in his office and draw and every so often if Bruce is on a zoom call for work he tends to mute his mic so he can just chat with Damian about whatever he’s drawing and all that
Also: Bruce and Damian tend to walk Ace and Titus together every morning. Sometimes Jason comes too to walk Ace instead of Bruce, but Bruce is always there
Heyy!! You got any.. headcanons for the batfam..? Gives us all your ideas!
oh there’s too many.
jason played little league baseball
dick legally has to be the shortest and the youngest of the fab five bc he was baby when he was a baby
damian has a pet hamster named hercules that colin and maps helped him sneak into the manor because of a one-off joke from jason about putting tim in a human-sized hamster ball to protect him from covid
Ace the Bathound was originally just Jason’s service dog he got to help deal with his pstd as a kid pre-death and now he’s usually 90% of the reason Jason comes home as often as he does
the family finds out Jason and Roy are dating bc Dick was babysitting Lian this one time and she blabbed to him about it
As a kid, Dick literally would not shut up about elephants. Like they are his favorite animal you can’t change my mind. One time when he was a teenager he was on a mission with the fab five in Africa and they saw some elephants and Dick almost cried
Jason and Dick watched Psych like, religiously back in the day
Jason got Damian into Pokémon by accident and it was his biggest mistake
Jason still doesn’t know that Clark’s the reason Bruce didn’t kill the Joker after he died and everyone is too scared to tell him. They’re also too scared to tell him that Dick DID kill the joker
❝ i gotta run! ❞
Bart: I learned some very valuable lessons from this.
Barry: I’m guessing they are all horrible distortions on the lessons you actually should’ve taken away.
Bart: Death isn’t real and I’m basically God.
Bart: what if go evil and run towards you at high speeds?
Kon: My arms are very strong. I would catch you and I would hug you.
Bart: *has a straw in his french fries cup and trying to drink from it*
Tim: What happened to him?
Kon: He learned about Star trek and has been awake for four days to watch the series and all the movies.
Tim:...
Tim: The /whole/ series??
Thad: Ever hear of Guy Fieri?
Bart: No? I don't think so.
Thad: How unfortunate for you.
Thad: He was an especially degenerate piece of filth.
Thad: He used his connections and guile to wriggle his way into fame, and other positions of power.
Thad: He somehow landed on the U.S. supreme court. Over the years, other Justices started mysteriously disappearing without means to replace them.
Thad: After helping rewrite the constitution to form an incomprehensible patchwork of fascism, theocratic mandates, recipes, and bad rap lyrics, he weaseled his way up the ranks to become the High Captain of Interstellar War.
Thad: I'm going to cut to the chase, cause really this doesn't need to be a full History lesson. Especially with your attention span.
Thad: He eventually came to be regarded as the third and final antichrist.
Thad: No human in history was responsible for as much pain and suffering.
Bart: Is that why REACH attacked our planet? Guy Fieri, High Captain of Interstellar War?
Thad: Yes.
Bart: ;-;

Dick: No???
Wally: yes
Tim: Bart, you have to stop stealing my siblings.
Bart, leaning on Dick, legs over Jason's lap, getting his nails painted by Steph, getting his hair braided by babs, and showing cute animal pics to Damian: I have no idea what you mean.
Okay so now is time for the long rant of Dick and Bart's dynamic. I'd like to state rn before anyone @/s me, I don't ship these two romantically, if anything it's more brotherly companionship than anything.
To start off, Bart would definatly be broken up about Wally's death just as much as Dickie would, and in a weird sense they'd have sort of an understanding. After Wally disapears, Artemis goes off grid so it's not like he can talk to her. Barry is off-limits for obvious reasons. (honestly some things Barry's said in the comics makes me feel like he blames Bart for Wally) More often than not, Bart would go to Bludhaven to talk to Dick and find comfort. Dick was, after all, Wally's best friend. And Bart would give him the same comfort.
Dick had already known Bart, he's seen him hang around the mannor, following behind Tim like a puppy with it's tail wagging. For a long time, he'd thought the two were dating with how close they were. Dick, being the awkard brother that's trying his best to get closer to his siblings would try and get to know his friends better and Bart really enjoyed his company whenever Dick stuck around.
Before Wally's death, Bart would always do anything and everything to make him jealous, upset, or a combination of the two. So every time Dick and Wally were in the same room with him, Bart would use his pick up lines on Dick just to piss Wally off and it worked every time. Dick, of course, knew what was happening because Bart had given him a rushed explination before he started doing that and he found it hilarious how Wally's face matched his hair as he dragged Bart away with the younger speedster yelling out "CALL ME". Tim pinched the bridge of his nose when he learned of this and Jason finds it hilarious as well. Damian, not so much.
Bart would definatly give Dick all the hugs, and Dick- being the touch starved boy he was with brothers who aren't too touchy and neither was Wally- always allowed it. He never really did anything in company but whenever they're having silent time just hanging out Bart would lean up against his shoulder or lean back to back with him. Speedsters are also actual furnaces so it's nice in the winter time. Dick would return the affections by a random hair ruffle in public or a touch to the shoulder to show he was there.
Just Batboys and Bart things
So we all know Bart and his dynamic with Tim, but honestly there's so many possibilities. Hi, if you're new here, I rant a lot about how Bart and Jason would get along wonderfully.
Anyways, Bart and Damian. So we all know Bart, once he dies, for some reason always comes back younger. (That reason is probably cause DC creators only see him as comedic relief and keeping him young keeps his spark but I'll leave that for another time). So eventually, When he comes back from death as Impulse, same age as Damian, after previously being as old as Tim (which is just weird), we have a blooming friendship.
Now obviously, Damian- bless him- is our snobby little prince with serious attatchment issues and good sense of humor. I feel like Bart would bring out a totally different side of him tho. We all know About Damian and Colin, or Damian and Jon, but Bart is just different from them.
As I've stated in my JayBart rants, Bart and Damian would definatly hold that sort of mutual understanding of what it's like to die and come back.
But other than being a total prankster and fun loving kid, Bart has his moments when he's got this off-shore wise part of him that has great advice. (such baby) I feel like Damian trying to shed away his teachings from the LOA and trying to fit into his newfound clusterheck of a family would be really hard for him. Obviously Bart knows a thing or two about that, seeing as him and his own family didn't get along either and they had no idea he existed until he showed up one day too, so Damian would see this side of Bart whenever he gives the Robin advice or just talks that no one else really sees and thats just so... hgggn
Also, Bart would definatly try to teach Damian how to have fun and invite him to tag or hide and seek and only get Damian to play when he says it can help in tacticality and training. He'd be very patient the entire time with him, and ends up having fun anyways. (Accidently breaks more than a few vases in the manor durring tag, oops)
Bart is also basically immune to rude comments since he's just too aloof to either notice them or care. (Legit, joker calls him an "obnoxious, fleet-footer, super brat" and all Bart does is think for a moment and say "no I'm not") Anything Damian throws at him he'll laugh along too. Also, 90% sure Bart would get Damian to smile a lot when people aren't around and he calls it a win.
Since Bart was trained in combat by Timmy and the LAPD and he has superspeed reaction time, he's a great spar partner for Damain. Dami uses him mostly for hand-to-hand or vent sparring and Bart is completely okay with this. His reflexs to all the punches and kicks are perfect for a moving target and keeping the fight going for longer.
There's a lot more I can say on this but I'll end it here. Y'all are probably like "Who's gonna read this long heckin thing" and I'm wondering the same.
oh don’t mind me i’m just thinking about how young justice (2011) could’ve been as good as teen titans (2005) if the creators used the og young justice team from the 98 comics instead of making it dick grayson and friends 2.0
Putting the annoyed in paranoid since the day he was birthed
Tim 500% calls coffee "Anti-Murder Juice" and with every cup is another dodged attempt at everyone around him ending up in some type of harm. Depends on his mood.
If he's really pissed, broken sOmetHing.
If he's a controlled level of pissed, bruises. Don't get in his way.
If he's paranoid, probably some accidental bruise infliction.
If he's annoyed, he'll kill you emotionally.
Those cups of coffee saved lives.
[Kitchen at Wayne Manor]
Dick: [picking through a candy bowl] Steph sure does date a lot doesn't she?
Cass: [with prejudice] glass houses
Dick: I didn't mean it was something bad!
Tim: She doesn't date a lot, she breaks up a lot.
Dick: Isn't that the same thing?
Cass: [unwrapping a chocolate bar] No
Tim: She has standards
Jason: [sorting m&ms] She dated YOU
Tim: She also broke up with me
Jason: ...did you just insult yourself to defend your ex?
Tim: [stares Jason down while slowly eating a piece of fudge]
Dick: [coughs awkwardly] so anyway. Isn't her dating so much a sign that her standards are TOO high?
Tim: [looks at Cass] Reasons Steph has dumped guys
Cass: [raises a finger] doesn't like cats
Damian: [from the other room] WHAT?!
Tim: [also starts counting on his fingers] refused to learn how to do laundry
Cass: Had his mother clean for him
Tim: Told her to calm down
Cass: Wanted to become a stock broker
Tim: asked if she was on her period
Cass: mocked people for wearing crocs
Tim: said he'd never read a book with a "female protagonist"
Cass: Said she was too emotional
Tim: was way too into sports
Cass: Said women with short hair was unattractive
Tim: kept using 'literally' when he meant 'figuratively'
Cass: told her she was putting on weight
Tim: didn't like Cass
Cass: didn't like Tim
Tim: mansplaining
Cass: kept talking about the wine list
Tim: kept talking about his car
Cass: [running out of fingers] thought "me too" had gone to far
Tim: [also with all his fingers outstretched] told her she "wasn't like other girls"
Dick and Jason:
Dick: I feel like some of those were more valid than others
Jason: [to Tim] so which one of those was the reason she broke up with you?
Tim: I didn't like Tim.
Jason and Bart's dynamic is literally just
"Someone will die."
"Of fun!"
That's it. That's all they are.
Cassie: Hey, guys? What’s the first thing that pops into your head when I say… “Wake me up?”
Secret & Impulse: Before you go-go~!
Superboy: When September ends…~
Robin: WAKE ME UP, INSIDE!
I was listening to my BOPPIN playlist today, as I usually do, and a thought occured to me while listening to one. Those of u that know me know I'm a very weak gay, and also stan for many homosexual ships cause I'm mr lonely, ANYWAY
I was listening to Youth, by Troye Sivan, and my brain was like "Hey"
I was like "What?"
It was like "Wanna know who we think this song goes perfect for?"
and I was like "Oh no"

Hi, and welcome to my Ted Talk.
Today on top 10 underappreciated relationships in DC
Bart Allen and Rose Wilson
They need more recognition cause this-
This is the content we deserve
REEEEEEEEEEEEE
OK i WANNA ADOPT THE BART PROSTHETIC LEG HEADCANON REAL QUICK
Y a l l, do you REALLY THINK that a gun shot wound of THIS CALIBER^ THAT C L O S E
Would have A N Y salvagable parts left of his knee??? LIke Speedsters heal fast but they don't grow back L I M B S. It shows the doctors doing surgrey and everything but in my mind it's like "WHAT KNEE, THERE'S NOTHING LEFT"
Do you KnOw how powerful that gun is?? I mean- you may not but IT'S PRETTY HECKIN STRONG
Listen. 100%, if Bart did get a prosthetic leg, like hell he's telling his team. This is Bart "I'm gonna bottle up all my emotions and then one day I'll die" Allen we're talking about. He's probably scared to tell anyone in case they think it'll cause problems and kick him off the team or something. Plus, he loves being pampered but he hates pity.
Dick: You little shit.
Jason: They just like me better!
Dick: Right, and how much did you have to blackmail them to believe that you little gremlin.
Bruce: What's going on here?
Dick: Jason stole one of my best friends and Ex girlfriend!
Jason: I plead the fifth! Can't steal what you never had!
Dick: Why you-
Bruce: Dick, maybe consider that they do like Jason for his... personality.
Jason: Why you gotta say it like that?
Dick: This is ridiculous. *storms off all dramatically*
Bruce: Maybe for future reference, don't steal any of Dick's friends.
Jason: Fine, I won't steal any more of Dick's best friends. Yeesh.
[One week later]
Jason: *casually sitting on a seat enjoying hot cocoa*
Tim: *slams the door open* YOU BITCH!
Jason: *smirking* Hi, Timmy.
Tim: DoN'T Hi TiMmY mE, YoU tOoK BaRt FrOm Me hOw CoUlD yOU!
Bruce: Jason, this isn't what I meant when I said don't steal any more of Dick's friends.
Jason: You should have specified.
