When Wally was younger, fresh out of Kid Flash’s mustard yellows, grieving and uncertain, Donna had told him something.

(He thinks so at least. She may have been dead by then, but he wasn't hallucinating it, so he's probably mixing up continuities again. He does that a lot.)

"Endless universes," Donna had said seriously, hands cupping his face. "There's endless universes, right?"

"More like an endless amount of universes," Wally couldn't help but correct, despite knowing she was going somewhere important. She didn't make a habit of cradling his face, after all. "But yeah."

Donna had given him a sort of smile, the one she gives when she's just entertaining him. "Right. An endless amount of universes. Endless versions of you, and me, and everyone we love. And those we don't." She had waited for Wally to correct her. He hadn't, she wasn’t wrong, and she had gone on. "But we just have you. Our wonderful Wally West."

"Aww," Wally had said.

Donna had given him that same half-smile again. "Wally, you don't have to be Barry to be a good Flash. To be a good friend."

That's where she was going. "Donna-"

"We're not asking you to be perfect," Donna had said, ignoring him completely, "Barry wasn't. Jay wasn't. But if we meet other-yous, we just need you to be one of the good ones. Be the best you you can be."

Donna had run her thumb along Wally's jawline affectionately. "We'll always choose you," she had said. "Don't ever make us answer to valid questions as at why."

“I’ll try,” Wally had promised around the sudden lump in his throat.

“That’s all I ask,” Donna had said. She had touched their foreheads together briefly, then had smiled and let go of him completely, and they were back to normal.

…Wally really hopes that happened in this continuity. Someday he’s going to thank Donna for the advice and he doesn’t want her to look at him like he’s crazy. He thinks he’d cry.

#my rambles #wally west #donna troy #working on a little something #funny enough this isn't donna and wally centric its a wally and his kids dimension travel fic (not the way youre probably thinking)#but who is wally without his friends?#gotta include a good few mentions of them in this #and donna's is my favorite #timeline stuff is always so fun tbh because like with speedsters they remember it All (or at least most of it)#so if you don't know the timeline specifics to place something speedster related just say they may be mixing stuff up #my writing

One personal DC headcanon I have that I haven’t seen mentioned around is that most speedsters end up learning sign language pretty early on after getting speedforced. For us the difference doesn’t really matter, but when you can travel at the speed of light waiting for sound to reach your ears gets really tedious real fast.

(Impulse #51 pg 11) [ID: A clip of four panels depicting Max Mercury, his daughter Helen Claiborne, and Bart’s friend Carol Bucklen having a conversation in a car. End ID] Helen “That boy really needs to work on his patience...” Max “I know. Bart gets anxious waiting for the light to come on.” Carol “Light...? What light?” Max “Any light. The light switch in the kitchen... in the living room...” Helen “But those lights come on immediately-- as soon as you flick the switch.” Max “... Yes. You would think so, wouldn’t you?” Like when your brain works that fast I feel like learning sign to save time in speedster to speedster conversations just makes sense.

we talk about Tim being the "emotional support Robin" but I am once again thinking about the Young Justice cartoon and how Bart is the Emotional Support Speedster

#this was originally a thought i had in context of- predictably- platonic bluepulse #however i feel like the concept applies way beyond that also #idk i haven't started season 3 yet bc it's been a weird and wild couple weeks for me so i haven't had time or brainspace #but just thinking about the way bart interacts with everyone??? and how he kind of sets people at ease???#and that last conversation he has with artemis in the invasion finale.... yeah #he's the team's emotional support speedster in the absence of wally #who was the OG Emotional Support Speedster just bc he's such a sweet friendly guy #...i wonder if bart is aware of this though. bc this happens both bc he's kinda goofy and bc he Knows Stuff #so people look at him and trust him and feel safe with him (almost counterintuitively considering he outed two #of the bats' identies as soon as he showed up. but maybe that's part of it too.)#and that's something he like... actively worked for. he starts out playing a role that gradually becomes more real as he's #able to be more at ease. which I've talked about before but like... hmmm I'm Thinking again #Lu rambles #yjtv #bart allen #meta finding tag

here's an unpopular opinion: Flash s3 isn't a good season. It tried to be, and it had some cool ideas, but it overcomplicated those ideas too much and missed some cool opportunities

strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree

There's definitely a lot about S3 I like, but I agree it's not a good season. (I'd take it over S7 or S8 though.)

Flashpoint is a really big deal in the comics, but they only gave it one episode before unraveling the changes. Cisco being upset with Barry over his brother's death was actually pretty interesting plot wise, but having him forgive Barry and then un-forgive Barry was a bad choice just to add extra (unnecessary) drama to the crossover event. Alchemy was an interesting villain from the comics to go with, but then he turned out not to really exist it was just Julian being possessed by Savitar. Savitar was an interesting villain in the comics too, but it wasn't really Savitar we got. It was The Future Flash, which is an evil version of Barry. And, sure, having Barry literally be his own worst enemy was fun - really gave Grant a chance to play with his portrayal of this alternate Barry - but it was like the show runners couldn't make up their mind who the villain was supposed to be and thought a mashup of all three would work out. Somehow.

Really it just kind of felt like they kept yanking masks off a Scooby-Doo villain until they finally reached Barry with a scarred up face.

HR was adorable, but he definitely suffered in his reception by the audience because most everyone either really liked Harry or didn't want another Wells around. (Or they wanted Eobard back, careful what you wish for...) Julian was either the coworker from hell or the awkward atoner and there wasn't much in-between; his one-sided crush on Caitlin didn't help things. He was capable of being sweet and kind and a good friend, though, it's just he didn't really have a clearly defined purpose once he joined Team Flash so once he stopped being Alchemy during his blackouts... he was just kind of there.

The season had ableism left, right, and center. Savitar!Barry's scarred face. Caitlin's not-really-MPD with Frost. Julian's MPD-no-wait-actually-he's-possessed syndrome. More MPD with Frankie. Because of course all the alternate personalities are violent. Though, admittedly, ablism is a recurring problem with practically every season of this show...

Cisco developing his powers was lovely to see, if harsher in hindsight seeing him grow to accept those powers knowing he'll choose to get rid of them in S5. But having him crush on Cynthia when she worked for the ethical nightmare association was... questionable decision making, for all that I did enjoy Cynthia while she was on the show.

The handling of Barry and Iris' relationship was not great either. They did a dating to engaged to not engaged to engaged again speedrun that didn't give them time to breathe as a couple. I think a lot of people were looking forward to seeing those two actually, finally dating and instead there was this rush to get them married.

Wally's training felt like he was being built up to take on the mantle of the Flash, since Jesse was building her own reputation as Quick. That when the season ended and the Speed Force sent Barry to jail without passing go or collecting two hundred dollars, Barry didn't specifically tell Wally he was the Flash now... it was like they built up to this big payoff and then never actually had the payoff. (Will forever be bitter that Wally never got to be the Flash. Always a Kid, never a Flash. Ugh. Let him grow up.)

Jesse's arc was... questionable. She and Wally couldn't be bothered to stay in touch while she was on E2 during the summer break between seasons, yet she was going to move Earths for him? And then she goes to E3 to take over while Jay is gone and... does double duty on E2 I guess? It just felt a lot like her arc was about other people and not herself. So even though I'm not thrilled about the treatment of her relationship with her dad in S4, at least there she has come into her own as a hero and team lead - her story in the barely visible background is about herself.

And Iris being Barry's prize to be won has probably never been quite so obvious. Evil Barry can't have her so Good Barry can't either. Though I do love the look into Iris fears as she deals with knowing there's a high chance she'll die young and worrying that she won't have left any real legacy behind. She's overshadowed to some degree by the Killer Frost arc, which is frustrating but a side effect of packing too much into one season - physical transformation is always gonna be flashier than quieter emotional arcs.

I also appreciate Iris not wanting to be engaged for the wrong reasons, even if it did feel rather like the show was just building up artificial drama for the second crossover with Supergirl and an even more dramatically romantic second proposal. (Let a girl want her fiance to have proposed because he loves her, not because he's afraid of losing her. There is an important distinction there, I'm so glad Iris was allowed to make that point.)

There are probably a lot more points I could make about S3 being a hot mess, but I think I've hit everything that really stands out the most to me. (So much there already.)

I think I just have a thing for speedsters. Like. Y'know how people might have a physical type or a type for a personality? When it comes to fictional men I think mine is speedsters. Like. Dude.

Pietro, both X-Men and MCU. Flash, at least for sure CW universe, haven't actually watched DCEU, impulse back when I watched young justice,,,, like.

#jasper rambles #speedsters are attractive for reasons i cant explain #they literally alwaays are either gender envy.or im like lowkey crushing #or both

“Yoooo, Iceman! The man with the ice. The ice with the man. Hey, did you choose your alias because of Val Kilmer in Top Gun? ‘Cause I gotta tell you, dude, if you did, that is preeeeetty--”

Well, gay is what Tommy was going to say. That’s pretty gay. But he remembered that might be a sore subject -- they were in Eastern Europe, and Tommy was Gen Z enough to be totally comfortable with being aggressively bisexual but also poor enough to not exactly be waving pride flags or dropping pronouns in school ( well, before he blew it up ), that whole deal.

“--cool. Pretty cool. I like that movie, you feel? Even though it’s a whole military propaganda thing, and like, normally I don’t fuck with that, you know? I mean, you spend a couple years in superjuvie, little bit of this, little bit of that, you stop rolling the dice on movies that are specifically designed to get bum-ass poor kids like you to jerk off to pilots and join the Air Force. Aaanyway.”

What had he been looking for again?

“Oh, right, right, right, I just wanted to introduce myself, ‘cause you’re one of those OG X-Men guys, right? And I myself,” Tommy gestured to himself vaguely, “am a mutant. Obviously. A fast one. Mad respect.”

Come to think of it, he was no longer sure that was the case. Was Wanda a mutant? Had his powers been coming from Wanda’s soul this entire time? Of course they had -- his powers imitated her twin’s, just as his own twin’s imitated hers. The fact that Tommy hadn’t stopped to consider this sooner should have shocked him, but to be completely honest... it didn’t. He’d spent so long as a true believer that he was a member of mutantkind -- mutantkin, if you will ( and he would ) -- that erasing that part of himself seemed impossible. Shit, he’d even suffered from the whole mutant prejudice thing. That counted, right? Mutant passing.

Yeah, whatever. He would keep being a mutant.

“So how does one become an X-Man? Like, hypothetically. Like, in a universe where those are still a thing. Because I know, I know, superhero teams, we totally aren’t doing those anymore.” A pronounced wink. Surely ol’ Icemagoo would pick up what he was putting down.
