Autism Is Developing Entire Species With Full Evolution Paths, Hierarchies, And Unique Customs For The

I don't know if it's just me, but I always saw what Max was doing as teaching Bart to mask (in the way society teaches autistic people to mask).

While Wally wanted Bart to change, Max just wanted Bart to be able to fit in without criticism.

It's so interesting that Max on multiple occasions confronted Wally about his frustrations with Bart by saying matter of factly "This is who Bart is and this is his inherent nature" as a point of criticism on Wally's approach only to in his own home to try force him to change his very nature and persistently refused to try and understand him.

They make my mind spin like spinach in a salad spinner.

Me: *sees this post*

Internal diolouge: Well, it really depends on how you define a-

External diologue: no, no! It Alfred because fuck you

What's your favorite part of creating characters?

Fucking them up.

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 :)

It's even funnier if you remember that Owen is Barts' half-brother. So not only would Tim br dating his parents murderers son, but he'd also be dating one of his best friends' brothers. XD

You know if Dick had a relationship Tony Zuccos kid:

and Bruce is having relationship with Joe Chills kid:

then if we’re following trends…:

This is why I write him as a murderer that's done with everyone.

You know... to balance it out.

I love (hate) that Bart Allen really could be the walking embodiment of "if I started murdering people there would be none of you left" and he HAS gone down paths where killing is an option and yet some fandom circles insists he's UwU "so sweet baby innocent doesn't know what blood is"

How could you ever be broken?

If Thad was to ever come back (and was characterised/written correctly), he should join the Outlaws to complete the set of Bat, Kryptonian, Speedster, and Amazon.

It would also be really funny to watch everyone else react to that (especially Bart and Tim)

Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean mental illness don’t exist.

Just to add to this, the entirety of the core-four/Tim's era of sidekicks are all drawn in incorrect ages at some point (or all the time in Barts' case)

Going off their ages in the original YJ comics, Tim is 2 years younger than Jason Todd (who will be my reference point), Bart and Cassie (I think) are both a year older than Tim (making them 1 year younger than Jason), and lastly KON IS THE SAME AGE AS JASON!

Which is something to think about since Jason is drawn like a man going through a mid-life crises but Kon is still drawn early 20s (or younger.)

Therefore, (going off Jason's' age being 22-23):

Tim: 20-21

Bart and Cassie: 21-22

Kon: 22-23

Personally, I think Kon and Cassie are the only two that are drawn to their correct ages (including Jason) and DC need to get their act together and get everyone's ages in order.

"Bart's aging has always been everywhere so it's not invalid to draw him like this [9-11 years old]."

Incorrect. While Bart's aging has been variable throughout the comics it has always been explained by a very clear and blatant events preceding the aging.

The youngest Bart has been in the comics barring flashbacks, and literal one-off aging time shenanigans, is 12 which was a thing for all of 3 pages then he rapidly aged to 14 and was stable for a long, long time.

Bart did not experience any changes in his aging (baring one gag issue where he was a toddler, and the Sins of Youth arc where he was an adult temporarily) for at least two years comic-time.

After apprehending Superboy Prime, Bart was aged to an adult, against the advisement of Geoff Johns and Mark Waid he spent time as The Flash until he was given a mercy kill.

Bart was brought back to life by Brainiac 5 in Legion of Three Worlds where he was reset back to his original age before he was aged up, landing him around 16-17 years old.

Flashpoint happened and he was taken out of comic continuity.

Bart come BACK into comic continuity but we are uncertain what his age is - and this is also something he himself is noted as saying he's not sure what his age is either. Logically, if he never aged while in the Speed Force then when he popped back out he would still be around 17 years old. This is the youngest he can be. Tim, Cassie and Cissie meanwhile aged around a year since Flashpoint and their ages are nebulous. Kon's age as well is uncertain.

Realistically, the Core Four should be in the 18-20 range at the youngest, but if we're going to be 'fair' and accept the reboot fucked age relationships up - then their last posted ages anywhere from 16-18 would be valid.

Bart is not being drawn anywhere near that age group currently in the current run of The Flash and is consistently being depicted as smaller than Jai. This could be valid, as 13 year olds can be VERY BIG and for some completely at their adult height - but the thing is Bart is being drawn SMALLER than he was pre-Flashpoint.

I am so sorry I am so agitated. Even being FAIR it doesn't add up or make sense.

Fixed typos and an error.
