Bart Allen - Blog Posts
Tim: Pop quiz, what movie or book franchise would you join and why?
Kon: Game of thrones. I think you know why. *wink*
Bart: Harry Potter. I want to talk to snakes and ask for their opinion on the Ministry communism and supremacy of purebloods.
Tim and Kon: …
Bart: Additionally, I wanna know what they’re thinking in general, cause it doesn’t look like anything’s going on behind those eyes. I’m totally a closet Slytherin.
Rant ahead: Bart and the Rogues Gallery.
Why is it that every speedster has some sort of relationship with the rogues except for the one that it actually would make sense if he had one. Are you seriously telling me Bart Henry Allen-Thawne II has NO correlation to them at ALL, but Wally and Barry do???
I get Barry ‘believes’ in them or whatever, but that doesn’t mean they’re automatic buddies. He has major trust issues and doesn’t even like turning his back around them!
And Wally? Wally has this weird thing against villains, no matter how small the crime. I mean, he broke up a friendship that he had for YEARS with Hartley Rathaway because Pied Piper went off book for a mission that was for A GOOD CAUSE.
Bart Allen’s half brother Owen is in the rogues. His twin clone is in the rogues. Digger knew his mother, and I’m sure he’d want to know more about her. He’s an outcasted flashfam member that needs a home because every family he’s been put into disappeared or died. First Max and then Jay, then the Titans disbanded. He doesn’t belong to any timeline, never met his father, abandoned by his mother so he wouldn’t be kidnapped by science cops, sent by his own evil Grandpa! That sounds like just about any other rogue sob story. And yet he has no connection to them. AT ALL. Which is just… Mind boggling!
And the one issue he gets with them, the rogues KILL him?? Which is totally out of character for them because one of their main rules is NO KILLING FLASHES. With time and character development, I’m sure Thad will come around and Bart will give him a chance, no matter how skeptical he is, because it’s what Max wanted for them and that was Bart’s goddamn dad, so help me! And Bart really doesn’t mind the whole villain thing either; he’s held casual conversation with the JOKER. Are you kidding me??
Do y’all understand how upsetting this is, or am I the only one???
Okay, so lemme point something out.
Bart Allen: Sassy, Sarcastic, smug little shit, will roll his eyes a lot. Neurodivergent, has a prosthetic, and a literal genius. Quiet and reserved while also being a social butterfly, hard headed and will fight for his beliefs.
Hartley Rathaway: Sassy, Sarcastic, smug little shit, scoffs at the idiocy. Him and his sister on the spectrum and he has his hearing aids. A certified genius and advocate for homeless, metas, and LGBT+. Quiet and reserved, a public figure, and strong willed.
And you’re telling me. These two. Have had ONE. INTERACTION. Where Bart DIES IN THE END. W H A T. DC YOU LITERALLY GAVE YOURSELF ONE OF THE BEST DUO’S ACCIDENTALLY AND YOU DONT EVEN— WHAT ARE YOU DOING? TELL ME HARTLEY WOULDN’T ADOPT BART IN A HEARTBEAT. DO IT, YOU CAN’T.
Me: sobbing over the friendship dynamic and every bit of life this panel give me.
Also me: Bart’s going to be taller than them one day, laugh now.
who is sobbing? not me i’m not crying over fictional friendships
Young Justice vol 3 #17
Tim, absolutely sleep deprived and not even drinking coffee at this point, just inhaling caffeine: Life if just a long bingo game and the reward is death.
Jason, also sleep deprived and an intellectual: the fuck are you on about? Death is controlled by the three sisters past, present, and future with their magic scissors and thread.
Bart, ALSO sleep deprived and sprawled out on the couch and Jason’s lap: Be my Hercules.
Jason: Bold of you to assume I’m not Meg.
Tim, dropping his head in his hands: My life amounts to nothing more than a thread.
Bruce, extremely concerned for all of them: … okay.
I love the idea of Bart integrating himself into the batfam, but totally under the radar of Tim.
Bart likes hanging out with Tim from the comics, as he’s stated on multiple occasions. So I can imagine he visits the manor too when he gets the chance. Thing is, Tim isn’t usually there either so that leaves Bart with the decision “go home and be bored or find a new victim”… Find a new victim it is.
One day Tim and Bart go to the manor together after an exceptionally long mission and Tim just missed his friend so he invites him over.
Clue #1 Tim picks up on, Alfred greets them at the door and says hello to Bart fondly, Bart even calling him “Alfie”.
Clue #2, if Dick is around he cheerfully waves at them both and gives Bart a small noogie. Not too out of the ordinary, Nightwing assists the titans- their team, so they know each other.
Clue #3, and Tim is now sus as Hell about the situation, Jason and Bart have just cracked some crazy, elaborate inside joke they share and are laughing about it hysterically. Tim is in shock at his elder brothers mirth.
Clue #4, Tim is about to put everyone under interrogation lights because this is just too weird. Damian snaps something rude at Tim, and Bart laughs with an arm flung around the demons shoulder asking if he’s seen the latest chopstick cat video.
At this point, he thought he couldn’t get more surprised, but then Clue #5 walks in. Bruce shows up and looks at Bart saying “Back so soon?” In that teasing dad voice only the batkids hear and Tim is just in awe.
Steph and Cass come in soon after and Bart’s babbling on about the next “girls night” and Tim just wants to either drown in coffee or pass out for the next 80 years, or at least until the next apocalypse.
All in all, Bart in the Batfam plz.
Bart: I’m the little spoon!
Jason, wrapping an arm around him: I’m the knife.
Jason: My aesthetic is rage. I have twin handguns and wear leather.
Jason, pulling Bart over: This was the sunflower left on my grave.
Bart, waving innocently: :)
the coolest thing about bart is the irony in his personality bc he’s called impulse due to the whole single synapse theory with translating thought to immediate action and on the surface that paints him as being pretty impulsive but he’s actually a very simple, smart, and subtle person. he’s not super outgoing so much as he is bored by the world that surrounds him, so after some outbursts he loses himself in thought often and that gives way to this side of him that does think and ponder and reflect, which i feel like is rly comforting for neurodivergent readers who are treated as if their behavioral patterns are otherwise abnormal or inconclusive. it’s so nice to have a character who isn’t ostracized by the narrative for his thought process and who we get to see be insightful and endearing in his own, unique way. i love him so so much
Snart: You know, that stuff will kill you one day.
Hartley, drinking an entire bottle of Wine: Exactly.
Owen, smoking a cigarette: We’re trying to speed this up.
Bart, eating raw cookie dough and non-stop junk food: *nodding quickly*
New JayBart oneshot posted!
Im on my Jaybart shrap again 😩
Not me thinking about how everyone would react if Jay and Bart did start getting along, let alone seeing each other.
Tim wouldn’t be very surprised, just sigh very heavily. Kon would frown in disappointment and shake his head a lot. Cassie would be confused but also laughing a bit behind her hand.
Bart: This is totally absurd!
Tim: No, it’s really not.
Kon: This is for your safety.
Bart: Oh, What, next you’re going to tell me that skateboarding on top of titans tower on a ramp I made myself is “Dangerous”. Psh…
Kon and Tim simultaneously: YES.
Bart: Never think you’re the smartest guy in the room.
Thad: unless you are the smartest guy in the room.
Dedicated to @legendofepic and your friend 💕 thank you for your support!!
Bart and Jay are like, the same but with different vibes.
Jay: 😈🔪💥Murder💥
Bart: 🥰💕✨Murder✨
You can’t tell me they wouldn’t. This is what they are.
A typical day
Tim, Bart and Jason all hanging out:
Tim on his phone: ...
Jason, braiding Bart's hair: ...
Bart happy about the attention: *speedforce actin' up*
Jay: Did... did you just fucking purr?
Bart, panicking: uhhHHHH EVASIVE MANUVERS! *full force slams a tissue box in Jay's face and runs away*
I'm writing Jaybart one-shots that absolutely none of you asked for but I'm going to post them soon anyways.
Boys of Flashfam connections but as D&D alignments.
Barry and Wally: Lawful Neutral. They share the same need to serve justice And Wally’s the “golden child”.
Wally and Bart: Chaotic Neutral. Bart annoys Wally, Wally makes Bart consider murder, at the end of the day they tolerate each other at most.
Barry and Bart: Chaotic Evil. Barry doesn’t believe in Bart, Bart’s trying his best and he will throw hands with his grandpa. Barry is just a tyrant. They have some kind of feud because Bart is also related to Eobard.
Barry and Jay: Lawful good. Ever heard the expression apple doesn’t fall far from the tree? In this case it’s more like that tree was genetically cloned to make a new tree and those two trees make it Hell for the apples trying to roll far away from them.
Wally and Jay: Lawful neutral. They have a decent standpoint on each other. Jay sometimes has old man wisdom but ehhh well-
Bart and Jay: True Neutral. Oh boy where do I begin. Outside if the suits, they are just like a boy living with his uncle. In suits, it’s like a constantly angry bird telling off another smaller bird for wanting to fly.
Bart and Max: Chaotic good. This, this right here is father and son. They have wholesome and domestic lives and a dad trying to teach his kid about heroism. Nothing to see here.
Wally and Max: True Neutral. Max babysits the kids sometimes. They have nothing against each other but they’re also not close. No one’s as close to Max as Bart is.
Barry and Max: Chaotic Neutral. Picture if you will. “Hey old man I hardly talk to. I know you’re basically retired and all but take this kid that’s my grandson, raise and teach him.” Says Barry dropping off Bart like he were a puppy. Sorry Max, Barry can’t teach Bart cause he doesn’t feel like it.
Have you considered JayBartTimKon polycule?
Bart being loved by everyone
I would like to see it
OMA Okay, so, YES! I have! I’m a fruitful believer in TimKonBart, but after building the foundation of JayBart, it’s been on my mind non-stop. Starring: Kon being the hotheaded-himbo™, Tim as the Idiot with brains, Jay as the Classy Motherfucker, and Bart as the glue that they literally all depend on and will fight(kill in one case) anyone for. Bart is totally oblivious to his role.
How their polycule works in my mind are like so 💕 (Side note: a Polycule is a network of people connected in a large scale relationship, but not all persons are connected the same way for those that don’t know)
All three Jason, Kon, and Tim have a current romantic relationship with Bart. Kon and Tim are primary partners to each other, with Bart occasionally joining their group. Jason and Kon are more distant; their standpoints vary on each other depending on mood and day. Tim and Jay are brothers, adoptive or not, so there's no relationship other than platonic; I don’t ship any batcest.
Some common occurrences with these roles:
Bart, casually suggesting to Tim and Jay, on separate occasions, that they should work things out and the story is a lot deeper than it may seem. Jay gets pouty about it for a week, and Tim puts it off until he can’t stop thinking about what Bart said until surprisingly, Jay calls him first. The moral of the story, they all take Barts's opinion of them VERY. SERIOUSLY. When it happened after a week, he figured he had nothing to do with it since it was muuuch longer to his perception of time.
Kon and Tim get into another argument because Kon’s being stubborn™, and Tim is also stubborn. So as Bart does, he becomes stubborn about people getting along. He approaches Tim first, giving Kon time to cool off and him an opportunity to catch Tim off guard while he’s sleep-deprived. He talks in his usual upbeat way, asking questions on top of questions faster than Tim can answer so Tim tries answering everything, not even able to process their questions about the argument that just occurred. After he’s satisfied he goes to Kon, knocking on his door politely (something he didn’t do with Tim) and when he’s invited in, he lays out Tim’s side of the story in a much more emotionally heartfelt way that Tim usually isn’t able to put into words. He then leaves and lets them apologize to each other.
The first time Bart dies, and then closely after with Kon’s death, with Tim going through his phase into Red Robin, Jay actually COMFORTS him. For the first time. When Bart did come back, he saw that they got much closer and Jay’s excuse was “You fucking DIED. Never do that again.” and they cry. (Too Bad Bart dies four more times after that)...
I have sooo many ideas on this but I hope you’re satisfied! ❤😊
IM SORRY I SAID BART LOOKED LIKE THE BUFF FAIRY FROM FAIRLY ODD PARENTS. I FORGET OTHER PEOPLE READ TAGS I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY I PROMISE LMAO
YO, I THOUGHT IT WAS HILARIOUS AND I READ ALL THE TAGS FROM OTHER POSTS + REPOSTS THAT WAS ONE OF MY FAVES SKAKKAKSJAKKSKSJK PLZZ WHEN I READ THAT I LAUGHT FOR A SOLID TWO MINUTES
NO BETA, WE DIE LIKE ROBINS
Bart Allen is an edge lord, too.
Jason Todd is impulsive.
What more do you want from me?
Jason and Bart tropes #5
I will now try an convince you all of how well Bart and Jason would be as a power duo in only images
For one: the whole Pwned thing
Sarcasm in the face of danger
Tell me this doesn’t have Jason Todd vibes
The duality of their death and parallels between the scenes
Remember Bart vs Joker? I do
Both: have a love/hate relationship with their semi-mentors; Bruce and Wally
Excuse, of what comic is that last image that you put in the last ask, Bart looks buff and bigger as hell lmao.
I'm sure he's a bit more little lol, why that artist make that?
You mean the one of Buff impulse that someone said looks like the fairy general from fairy odd parent’s? For reference, I’ll put the photo again.
This image is from the comic “Sins of Youth: Kid Flash & Impulse #1”
In it, Bart is now an Adult and tales on the Flash legacy as Impulse, and Wally is younger than him, still a teenager, and becomes his sidekick as Kid Flash. It’s a really interesting storyline and the comics can be super funny! I really do suggest it.
If you want the rundown of the comic, I can supply that as well.
Wait, Bart had a big jawline???
He actually had a very square face with sharp features. A very handsome maturity. It really depends on the issue and art style you read, but his features are very refined.
As seen here, he’s always had some definite face shape to him.
I couldn’t help myself. Theres also a discord server! https://discord.gg/g7cg9rZC 💕✨
I need Y’all to understand
Bart Allen is F E R A L. He's the kinda 'Grey Morals' that is unkempt and unpredictable, and otherwise dangerous.
He's the kind of person that can Lie to Batman's face. And he has. Multiple times. And got away with most of it. Bart will litterally throw hands and that is fact. He has made death threats on a lotta people. That image circulated widely in the meme community of a plush duckling carrying a knife? That's Bart energy. Cute, will be nice, unless you give him reason not to and then his entire persona is just poof, replaced with a wolf. His entire families morals are "We can solve all our problems with friendship" and Bart's morals are "I can spit in the face of death and you can quote me on that". He's better suited for the Batfam than the Flashfam (cept when he's with Max: Max Mercury Supremacy). Hell, he's better suited for the rogues than with Flashfam. He's unafraid to die, will protect what he loves at any cost, and most likely will become unhinged. His friends can only keep a collar on him for so long before he becomes wild and I love that. I love his character cause it's deep, deeper than the developers intended to make him, and he's filled with so much baggage and emotions that he carries like a pro. Sure, Wally's the fastest, Barry's the beloved son of central, but Bart? Bart is one of the strongest heroes, not just for his unwavering will and strength, but his urgency to do the right thing, even if it's the world against him. He loves to laugh, so he does. He doesn't like reflecting on his trauma, so he doesn't. And he comes out okay because he knows time is always moving forewards and things are only in the present. He's a time anomaly, and yet he doesn't mind at all. He doesn't need to belong to a timeline, he belongs with his friends. He knows what needs to be done and he does it.
Bart Allen is the strongest hero and I will protect him.
Bart Allen’s eyes.
That is all.
No thoughts. Only adult Bart.
Plz- his E Y E S. He’s so pretty??? Gorgeous boy. Best Boy. Reckless? Yes. Smart? Also yes. A little violent? Always. Love him so much 🥺
