i’ve seen so many fics refer to dick as wally’s lightning rod. is this true. please tell me its true it sounds so cute.
Cute!!!
Yes! It's true!!
To Wally, Dick is his harbor-he'll take away everything bad until there's only warmth and affection left!
The first thing Wally does when he's feeling down is go to Dick. To Wally, there's no one he would rather be with than him.

I'd say these two found each other in the dark and clung on tightly but really these two found each other in the light and clung on tightly!!
Also the handwritten love letter talking about how much he loves Dick and how Dick means the world to him and how-

The entire letter though

For the love of god, Wally. just tell him you want to marry him and make a polycule marriage with you, him, and Linda.
In another sense, whenever Wally's lost, Dick is the first person he calls. Here Wally's being like mind-hypnotized but he doesn't know what-he knows something's going on but he doesn't understand why he's so confused or what's different.
There's only ever one person he would turn to in the first place.

Dick grounds Wally. When he's lost, broken, hurt, angry, Dick is always there for him as a source of strength, guidance, and partnership because he loves him. And Wally knows that well. As such, Dick is absolutely Wally's lightning rod. <3
Can we all take a moment to appreciate how Wally went from this scared little kid when being in the presence of Batman:
To the man who doesnt hesitate to put Bruce in his place:
Nightwing’s butt is, canonically, so perfect that people can identify him just by looking at it, and I just have to say I love that so much.
This is why Iris is the best Flashfam member:
Try to tell me I'm wrong.
I dare you.
Ok. I just need to take a moment and say I absolutely love how Wally's reactions while dodging an alien hurtling towards him out of his 𝘞𝘐𝘍𝘌'𝘚 mouth are normal, but then his finishing expression and pose is like a Greek statue.
His face just goes from pure shock to ✨𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤✨.
Honestly, it gives me "I want you to draw me like one of your French girls" vibes.
Don't even get me started on Dick's reaction, lmao.
Wally West Meets Barry Allen's Kids:
DC Super-Heroes by Simone Di Meo.
I dunno man, he looks possesed to me
Wally: This is just speedster stuff with a fun twist
Mr terrific: No, this has a scientific explanation-
Wally: It sounds like magic
Mr. Terrific: No, it's definitely related to the speedforce, but there's more to it then-
Wally: It's sorta spooky
Mr. Terrific: Okay? What does-
Wally: I know, It's spooky speed force stuff!
Mr. Terrific: No, Wally listen there's a logical reason-
Wally: Spooky speed force stuff.
Mr. Terrific: I hear you, but-
Wally: Spooky. Speed. Force. Stuff.
Me. Terrific: No, it has more to do with science than-
Wally: SPOOKY SPEED FORCE STUFF
Mr. Terrific: ...
Mr. Terrific: I give up
Your honor, they're boyfriends.
Do you think speedsters could keep themselves in real time by listening to music? Because if they’re speeding the music will sound slower? I just had that thought listening to a bart playlist and I think it’s a cool concept. Especially like if Bart used the technique at school and it just added to his issues with teachers. I could totally see his teachers getting super pissed at him for listening to music in class but it keeps him from slipping into speedtime so he’s more present and aware. (I’m not projecting haha I swear! Music totally doesn’t ground me and I’ve totally never been yelled at for listening to it in class haha)
I read comics and rant about them -speedster and batfam Central- because all my friends just can't seem to understand the absolute power they hold over me.
