I love the whole “It was ME Barry” meme around Thawne because my mind instantly goes to him taking the kids toy from child Barry’s happy meals right before he can open them, overly salting all of his food, tying his shoelaces together while he’s sitting down, and slightly pulling back his chairs before he sits so he falls flat on the ground. Like image this:

Thawne: It was ME Barry, I’m the one who set your alarms back an hour so you were always late for school!

Barry: What?

Thawne: I’M the one who hide your car keys and made you walk to work!

Barry:Uhhh…

Thawne [Maniacally laughing]: I’M THE ONE WHO ALWAYS BURNT YOUR TOAST AND OVERHEATED YOUR FOOD SO THE ROOF OF YOUR MOUTH WAS CHARRED!!!

Barry:

Barry: Are you ok? At all?

I think everyone who complains about the existence of queer people in comics should read this letter to the editor in a Green Arrow 1988 comic and shut the fuck up

Still the greatest magazine cover of all time. Why are they framed in shadow. Why is the text so stark. Why is this being framed like the poster with the villains on it for a superhero movie. This summer: a new sexual identity emerges. The bisexuals will change the hierarchy of the DC Universe forever

Impulse (1995) is a direct story about an at-risk teen in foster care, and it's not even allegorical. Some of the situations are more fantastic than anything that would really happen, but the themes and experiences of a teen in foster care mirror this story in many, many ways.

Bart was in a system of abuse and neglect in that Earthgov facility - which Iris rescued him from.

Bart was unable to live with kin (Iris and Wally) in the 20th century due to many factors, so he was placed with basically a stranger for guardianship and it was strictly supposed to be temporary.

Bart is often treated as an overly challenging or burdensome teen with behavioral issues, with some degree of truth - this is a stigma that follows a lot of teens in foster care, and is a true experience in many cases as children placed in foster homes struggle with mental health due to past trauma and neglect.

Meloni came back into Bart's life and tried to raise him but her environment was unsafe so she had to surrender her parental rights - this is also an experience those in foster care go through, sometimes multiple times.

Ableism and abuse in the foster home - while Max didn't intend to abuse Bart, he did approach him in very ableist ways which led to a neglect in the type of care Bart needed. Bart did not suffer physical abuse in Max's home, and the abuse he arguably did experience is not as severe as real life cases, it is still an experience that mirrors foster care experiences. Bart's emotional health and well-being for a good chunk of his solo was being neglected by the adults in his life as he was left to just "figure things out on his own" while he had a roof over his head. Max also made it clear on a few occasions that his role was never to raise Bart, just teach him how to use his powers. Eventually, this did subside as love grew in the home but the love was almost not enough.

Relocation - Bart was originally not given a choice about relocating upon Max's disappearance into the Speed Force, but eventually agreed to move to live with Jay and Joan. Relocating between multiple households is a very common and heartbreaking foster care experience.

Bart Allen's solo series was originally meant to be a sitcom, but Mark Waid put in the foundations for a heartbreaking story about a unique and special teenage boy navigating an alien world with adults who barely tried to understand him, and almost completely failed him.
