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! ❤😊
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.
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.
People forget Bart is canonically a SK8R boi so here’s your reminder 💕✨
Wally: If you're coming with me on this mission, you need to follow my orders, understand?
Bart: I promise to follow you to the Letter.
Bart: As long as that letter isn't 'Q'.
Bart: Or any other vowel, for that matter.
Bart: Collecting charity money for the Justice League Ball?
Wally: We don't have Balls.
Bart: I honestly have no response to that.

So I was thinking again- dangerous, I know- but I imagine Bart Bein obsessed with musicals, especially the ones with fighting and action, and he just runs around quoting classics durring fights, or singing songs from musicals whenever he has the chance.
And even better thought is he bonds with a bad guy on the field because they recognise the line-
"I thought heroes had mercy?"
"I'm a count, not a Saint."
"Wait- Count of Monte Cristo?"
"Yes???"
"I love that movie!"
"NOWAYMETOO"
He would, and you know it.
I might as well make this series Bart and the Batboys.
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.
Gender didn’t exist in the future: Bart is Pansexual and likes to wear skirts (maybe gender-fluid)
you can't change my mind
Okay but hear me out
Bart has perfect photographic memory, which means he remembers everything he hears, sees or reads exactly how it was. So, technically, if he were to read language translation books, he'd be able to understand every language. Pronounciation would be hard for him sure, but he could understand and write in any language if he had enough focus to read the scripts. I'm not crazy, he totally could be a human translator for everything. He'd be every language teachers favourite.

Wally: No.
Bart: Are you crazy?
Thad: Why?
Wally: Have you not been yelled at by Iris yet?
Thad: I'm not scared of her.
Bart: So that's a "no" then.
I headcannon that Bart was born before Owen, but due to time travel shenanigans Owen is older
Jenni is canonically older than Bart, so there are no options where she's the youngest
I like the idea of Bart being weirdly tall. Like, not Amazon or Kryptonian tall, just like a tall human while the rest of the speedster are average height or shorter.
I like to think he gets it from his mum :)
