OKay but what if Owen was born first? What if when Digger got sent through time, he didn't go so far and he met Meloni BEFORE she and Don fell in love? What if Owen was raised by Meloni? And Don was his step dad? And when Bart was born, and Don was killed, the same lab that had Bart in the VR simulation kept Owen captive. And when Iris broke Bart out, she got both of them? And while she told Bart about his Thawne/Allen lineage, and about his Grandpa Barry, she also told Owen about his father, his real father? What if they were sent back in time together, and Owen protected his little brother? He tells Bart stories about the father he never got the chance to meet, and things about their mother Bart didn't get the chance to know. That when Max took Bart in, he went to find Digger? What if They already knew each other, and Bart was Impulse and Owen was Captain Boomerang Jr? That Bart never fought the Rogues and refused to bring any of them in because of it, and Owen may help rob banks and pull heists, but he wouldn't lay a hand on them Flashers. Those are Family. That every time he and Bart see each other, it's just a nice brother reunion and catching up.
And then Thad comes along and Owen being a big dumb himbo boy, goes ":0 Bart NEW BROTHER :D" and adopts the kid on the spot. Thad, never having a place ever or any kind of positive connection in his thousand years of life just accepting defeat, cause “maybe this orangutang wasn't so bad, unlike my counterpart”. And Owen was like their glue that kept them from killing each other until they established an unbreakable bond. Digger adopted all of them with Max as the co-parent and now they're just a happy family.
Bart Allen takes up about 90% of my thoughts so here’s another thing
The first time Bart heard he had a Twin Clone he was thrilled to have a brother, completely disregarding what side Thad took. After all, Owen- his half brother- was kinda a villain and they sorta got along. Why couldn't he and Thad get along? When they finally did meet he found out just how false that statement was. It was like looking into A distorted mirror from one of those circus tents. Same face, same height, same suit- minus the colours. Thad's face was strewn in annoyance and boredom, his hair a blond like Barry's and cut shorter than Bart's. Bart felt so happy that he wanted to run up and hug him but Thad was the first to react, lunging foreward into an attack. The entire time they fought, Bart only blocked and tried starting up small talk. He noticed Thad was a little slower than he was, but he didn't really care. Thad continued his onslaught of punches and kicks, not answering to a single word Bart said. He grew increasigly frustrated with every blocked attempt and He jumped back, Bart just standing there watching him.
"Why aren't you fighting back!" he growls
"Because you're my brother." Bart said it so simply, like it was the easiest thing in the world.
Thad has no idea how to respond to that. He's always quick to comment but to that he had nothing to say. He decides to run. Bart doesn't follow. When Thad returns to the lab and Craydal asks him about the confrontation and why he was back so soon, He simply replies "That was just to gather data on his fighting technique". He refuses to admit he felt anything for the brat he was raised and trained to annihalate, who put him in pain just by being better than him. He refused to admit that when he heard "brother" that he felt a single way about it.
Or, black cat Thad and orange cat Bart

Junkus Minor - Protest. Track four of Inertia.
Junkus Minor - Trippin'
This is the opening track of our new album Inertia. Full album will be released on Compact Disc on 25th of May 2010.
We will post one track per day until the release date.
The album is a completely independent release.
Thadd should use the name Hermes after Inertia.
Hear me out !
First, I can't belive there is no speedster names after the swiftest of the Gods of Olympus !! I'm not sure if he's exactly the god of speed, but he's close enought anyway !
Second, like many other people, I think Bart should become Mercury instead of Flash, and Mercury is also known as ???? Hermes !! So if Thadd was the inertia and Bart the impulse, when Bart becomes Mercury Thadd should become Hermes ! So it's stay in the theme !
Third, I like Thadd juste having is own identity as a hero and not juste take over the name of an other speedster.(even if it keeps a link with Barts name)
Fourth, it's just funny ! Like, Mercury is some kind of copy of Hermes, when Thadd is what we can call a copy of Bart ! I like the irony !
Fifth, because no speedster have use this name yet there is no connotation nor legacy behind it, so that allow Thadd to be who he wants ! A hero, a vilain, a anti-hero, anything he wants ! And even the non-heroic options make sens with the name Hermes 'cause the guy's also the god of thieves !
Yeah, I know Hermes is alredy a character in the comics, but he's not really important and he's not considered a speedster, plus it wouldn't be the first time two entirely different characters share a name.
Also, why Thadd could decide to change his name ? Well, it could just be because Bart change his so Thadd want to do the same, or, in a redemption scenario, Inertia could be a bad remember about all the bad Thadd has done.
Anyway, I had this idea after I hadn't sleep for like 48 hours so it's may not really make sense but I like it !
It's gremlins time !

So, apparently, my way to deal with art block is by drawing this two gremlins ! I'm more than okay with that !
Process
Family bonding !

So yeah, my boyfriend randomly asked me how I thought Thadd would react if Max told him he was proud of him, so I drew this to show him!
The Max and Bart hug is just 'cause I was feeling down and drawing Bart is my cure !
Part 2 of random Flashfam headcanons !
- When someone points out the weird color of Bart's eyes, they just invents a stupid story each time to explain it ("this is what happens when you become blind and then regain your sight" "I am half dragon" "a wizard cast a spell on me" "it's a sign of higher intelligence"...)
- Bart's hair make them look taller than Thadd, and he don't like it.
- Wally has a dinosaurs phase when he was a kid.
- Literally every speedster passed Jay and Joan off as their grandparents to other people. (Barry: Yes Jay is my grandfather. Yes he is also my nephew's and grandchild's. No none of this is weird.)
- All speedsters are somewhat capable of cooking.
- It remains to be seen if their cooking is really edible for non-speedsters...
- The best way to woo a speedster is to offer him food.
- A speedster only offers food to people tey likes.
- Bart learned to knit to keep their hands busy and started giving away what they knit for Christmas and birthdays.
- They still have problems with sizes. But everyone loves the effort. (Max wears his every Christmas)
- Because of their metabolism, all speedsters give off a lot of heat and resist the cold very easily (being able to wear t-shirts even below 5°C) So, for many, speedster = radiator.
- Thadd tricks Bart into doing his chores for him.
- Despite being super smart 'cause he was basically raised on a giant computer, Thadd tends to believe a little bit of everything he reads on the internet.
- Bart likes to make fun of conspiracy theories (even if he himself is convinced that the center of the earth is made of nougat.)
I think Thadd and Dami could really get along, or at least understand each other in a way other can't !
Hear me out !! They were both raised and created in violence/hate, they are both crushed by their legacies (the Revers Flash and Batman/Al Ghul legacies), they are both seen by others as psychopathic kids unable to have feeling, they both just need love and guidance to become better, they are both compared to "better" versions of themselves (Bart and the previous Robins), they are both very intelligent, neither of them had a real childhood, in a certain way they both been lied about their destiny... etc.
I may not be a Damian expert, so I might not be entirely right about all of this, but I still think they could get along when Thadd finally begins his redemption arc !

I need an identity crisis arc for Thadd! Like, the kid's whole existence has been based on him being someone else!! How can he find out who he is, when he only learned to be Bart??
I swear, one day I will become a comic author for DC comics and I will wright a solo comics just for Thadd !
" He will never have what Impulse has; will never know their approval, their pride... their love. "

Thad' needs his redemption arc ! Mercury Falling literally made me cry(twice !!!) ! This boy just needs to be loved :'( Let him get the love he deserves
Yeah yeah, I recently reread Impulse 1995 and got a little emotional again about the Inertia arc during Mercury Falling :') I love this little grimelin
It was also a lot of fun to draw this family portrait ! They're all very cute together :3
My new pp on instagram ! (go follow me, I'm @ samklighter)
Someone: Aww, Bart is so cute !!
Thad: No they're not.
Someone: Heyy ! That rude !
Thad: We have the same face. And I. AM. NOT. CUTE.
Also Thad
Thad to Bart: u r ugly
Bart: ??? Didn't you just say we have the same faces?
I started the Impulse comics very late(26 years late), but my god how much I love these two ! I didn't even know I could like two characters and their relationship so much !
The force of inertia.
Unfortunately I am part of that everyone
AJR is great because they can say something silly like "I'm stuck in these pants" and successfully give everyone an existential crisis
