*slowly Slides You A Pack Of Fruit Gushers* Please Draw Impulse

More info for JayBart, which is completely headcanon and can be platonic: For reference, cause I think a lotta people are confused about this,

Bart and Jason are canonically only a year apart of age, which is why I think a lot of you are questioning in case you thought it was bigger than that.

Bart, as we all know, had speed aging where he grew up faster than anything and chronologically speaking, he’s lived for 4 years. But since his perception of time is different than others, plus with the help of his Virtual Simulation growing up, he’s biologically 15 when he starts out as Impulse (According to secret origins 80 page giant #1). So he’s A year older than Tim.

Jason Todd is Two years older than Tim, also to reference. DC just doesn’t know how to draw the correct look for age gap. Bart just looks younger since he aged so fast, but he does shoot up in three years.

While their approach varies, they have very common morals when it comes to justice work and corrupt systems. (100% they both support ACAB, DC’s just too scared to bring up something “so controversial”) I mean, the amount of times Jason was failed by justice department and everything in between, on top of Bart unknowingly growing up in a system that’s run by the Evil President Thawne (HIS GRANDPA), the “science police”, that were just as corrupt as the president and constantly hunting him down, plus y’know, living in the apocalypse; both of them have strong views on the matter. (And Yes, I know Bart was a CSI for a year but Central City is already so far gone and morally depraved that he might as well be the one good thing about it.)

Yes, I think they would make a great couple, but I also ship them as platonic soulmates/platonic husbands, but really they just have an amazing dynamic (that has never been explored). I prefer my ships to have chemistry above all else, and you know, be in each other’s age range, and not siblings. Thing’s you shouldn’t ship characters for, but Chemistry is important to me at least.

Thank you for your time, if you’ve read thus far.

Damian: Elvish Assassin Rougue, class Eladrin for his unpredictable behavior.

Bart Allen is the only person who can actually flirt in the core four

Change my mind

Bart’s time in the future

Okay, so let me get this all straight for those of you who don't know comic Bart or at all: Bart Allen's dad was gone and his mom couldn't take care of him constantly being on the run, so he was basically a lab rat for a scientific facility since... b i r t h just about. He was put into VR as a sort of sedative and to keep up with his vastily progressive mind and body since he aged about 200x the average person. (By the time he was three he looked 13) But in a way, speedsters have this kinda "dog years" effect in that everything in the world for them is slowed because that's just the way they see everything. So, in technicallity, while the scientists only had him for three or four years, to Bart it was 16??? And don't get me stArTed on the physical and pshycological effect of that. He never saw another living person until he was 16. He never had any kind of physical contact until he was 16. Could you even imagine?? No wonder the kid is so touch starved. (I feel like him and Kon bond over the fact they're younger than their bodies progression but besides the point). So he's been in this facility for 16 years, spends all that time in a Virtual false reality where his only friend was some weird VR program named Dox, which is probably symbolysim for the doctors that experimented on him when he was put under, and which he named his dog after, he's never felt affection or talked to people outside of that, never got a chance to meet his parents, has more villain relatives then Hero and STILL didn't go to the dark side after THAT?? Can still show off the best fake smiles and persona front after all that?? Had to endure more than MOST EVERYONE in only THREE YEARS which was actually SIXTEEN and STILL is GOOD?? You cannot tell me that this is the bravest kid you've ever read about, you cannot. And even with all that, he finds it in himself to forgive many of those who've wronged him. Listen, Bart Allen is by far the most amazing character I know and you can fight me on this. He's been through more than all the Batfam COMBINED. If he wasn't so bright and cheery, I bet Bruce would've adopted him. (another thing I forgot to mention, the fact Wally practically gave Bart away to Max and made the kid feel unwanted, even though Max became like the only crutch Bart had/a father figure, not even Barry wanted him when he returned from the dead. Assholes) He's died FIVE TIMES and he's still a hero. He's experienced this over and over, and still is a hero. He left his home and practically erased it's existence so now he's a time anomaly, who doesn't really fit in anywhere in time, and is still a hero. Fuck your favourite angst characters, Bart Allen takes all the cake.

inaccurate Batfam quotes #24

Headcannon that when Jason was still Robin and in teenage rebellion phases, Bruce bought him a studio with blank walls like canvases and let him do whatever. He'd buy Jason Spraypaints and supplies for his birthdays or just whenever he needed them. After Jason came back from the dead, the studio became his "HQ". Though he didn't like Batman, he had to admit that he did one good thing in his childhood.

As someone with four of these, I... Yes. I may not be the best example, but hey. We can't all be rock stars. I'm not gonna bother with a rant cause I have a LOT to say on this, but i'll just repost this.

Your mental health doesn’t make you bad.

inaccurate Batfam quotes #18

Do you think since Dick was so young when he started out as Robin that he had, like... snacks in his utility belt. He’s on a mission with Bats one day and he’s eating gummy bears he pulled from his pouch. Cause I do.

“Oh, look, the Crowned Bitch of the Fire nation.”

Zuko to Azula, if the show let him swear.

inaccurate Batfam quotes #25

Damian Wayne has often been depicted for his uncharacteristicly mature and strikingly violent behavior, but he 100% always participates in childish games like "tag" or "hide-and-seek" because, and I quote (His non-existant quote, this is a headcanon don't @ me) "I will not be bested by you imbiciles"

In the end he always has a good time with his brothers (because Dick is normally the one to drag him into it) and if anyone were to point out his smile, he would immediatly deny any and all accusations of having fun.
