the one and only time I'll be on time

[bolthead]

Because otherwise I'll be ooc. 8(

Anyway 'sup turtle, this is Val your resident Man-of-Ants player bringing in yet another old man by the name of Buried Alien Barry Allen. All you really need to know is that he used to be an unmotivated boring square who died trying to save the world but then was brought back to life because DC editorial sucks. He's still a boring square but now he has a prettier face because Francis Manapul and is more motivated because stupid retcons.

Yeah.

I won't be doing a traditional intro post because a huge event is coming up at work but if you would like to do a log or something let me know!

And last but not least because dumb silver age is my favorite:

[bolthead]

so no ♥




argh i need more icons WEEPS INTO THE ABYSS

[bridgetothemyscira]

yes good

I am pleased by this also go to bed Val

I LOOK FORWARD TO FILLING YOUR INBOX EVEN MORE

[animosus]

I WANT A LOG

I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A GOOD REASON FOR ONE TO HAPPEN

also the only person hal owes money to is scott right now have fun with that

[backinakidflash]

Don't make me go find that post and offer Hal monies.

[langsyne]

omg Hal is not allowed to MOOCH OFF HIS OWN GRANDSON

[backinakidflash]

BRB FINDING THIS

[animosus]

I WAS GOING TO LINK YOU but yes good you found it

[bolthead]

HAL I SWEAR TO GOD

[backinakidflash]

HIGH FIVE FOR GIVING BARRY A HEADACHE.

(You know, I wasn't going to until Val was like "no mooching off his grandson!!")

[bolthead]

THERE ARE LIMITS TO THIS KIND OF THING!!

first he has to deal with Hal hitting on his wife and now he has to deal with Hal mooching off his grandson oh my god why this

[backinakidflash]

Hal hit on Iris?

Bart wants his money back now.

[bolthead]

It was unintentional. Barry got kidnapped from his kitchen by the Guardians to go fix some problem the GLs couldn't, Iris called Hal on his radio because he was a truck driver at the time, and apparently Hal didn't realize it was Iris and told her she had a cute voice and asked her what she was wearing.

I could probably find the panel on tumblr but effort.

[backinakidflash]

........ To all of that.

Also, Google provided the don't call me Grandpa answer. It's in the Blackest Night - Flash mini.

[animosus]

THAT WAS YEARS AGO. let's move on buddy

[bolthead]

I'll just playercest with myself then no big

[backinakidflash]

Hm. I suppose I should ask for a log - unless you'd find it less time consuming for me to put up some sort of post that he could see.

[bolthead]

Whichever works better for you! I have to get a log up for Michele anyway so I can always just do multiple starters. Even if they'll all be boring 'HEY LOOK HERE IS A DUDE IN A RED SUIT MAYBE IT LOOKS FAMILIAR TO YOU."

Although if you'd rather start off with Barry vs Flash I can do that too. Whatever your heart desires.

[backinakidflash]

However you want to do it is fine by me! I am just EXCITED.

(Also, I have just realized that both are them are pulled from before the "Don't call me Grandpa" thing... argh, this means I have to have Bart call him that and get squashed, don't I? Can we just ignore that and have Bart call him Barry so I don't get flattened by feels over here?)

[bolthead]

BART CAN CALL HIM WHATEVER HE WANTS although Barry might be better because that sounds way more normal and is probably less likely to induce an oh god I have a grandson I barely know don't I type of reaction.

also because it's five in the morning and I am the least awake - where was the part where Barry says not to call him grandpa thing....I am not remembering it right now.

[backinakidflash]

I thought it was in the Flash comics you sent me... but now I can't find it... I'll have to look again after work. Maybe it's in Kid Flash Lost. I know he doesn't seem to mind it in Rebirth - which is why it pissed me off in the first place.

[imaginate]

why is every speedster here but his

aka hi Barry if you give him the same crap Ollie's been giving him over succeeding Hal he's going to be so pissed

\o/

[bolthead]

it's okay Kyle

Barry's not even really sure who you are yet apart from being another Green Lantern. Perks of being dead for 20 years and missing out on all the fun. :'DDDDD

(he'd probably do it after he got Hal to explain though. sorry)

[backinakidflash]

We have a Barry. I'm pretty sure that all but guarantees a Wally. Right? Right?

(I find it hilarious that so many characters call dibs on speedsters, archers, and Robins)

[imaginate]

we should fish around for one >E

(so do I, it's delightful.)

[andaway]

PRETTY FACE INDEED DAT ART /touches

BUT YES I AM AL I think we've seen each other around other people's plurks??? but anyway Kal will be so glad to see Barry negl ;3;

[bolthead]

Claaaaaaark /;3;/ Barry will be very glad to see you too. Come tell him about the turtle and your life and everything that's happened so far.

[survival_isnt_living]

Yay, Barry! I don't think we've actually been introduced for reals? I'm Lee, I play Gaius Septimus here from Codex Alera, which almost no one's heard of, and some random reporter lady named Lois Lane who will be quite pleased to see Barry, I'm sure. ^_^

[bolthead]

Ahhhh hey Lee! :D I don't think we've formally met but it's nice to meet you. I have not heard of Codex Alera but I do love Lois bunches and thinks she deserves her own movie one day.

Y'know, once we get past this mountain of no one even wanting to do a Wonder Woman movie. -_-;

[crownless]

BARRRYYYYYyyyyy good god bless the Silver Age

(hello its Danni who plays Jaime/Tony but is too lazy to log out)

[bolthead]

this one person has a tumblr filled with panels of being being absolutely ridiculous, I love it a lot :'D

ALSO HELLO DANNI I'm sorry in advance since I don't think Barry knows who Jaime is.....actually I don't think he knows half the DC cast. orz

[tactile_telekinesis]

I am well and truly distracted by that panel.

[bolthead]

As you should be. 8|b

[bludhavenknight]

HI. YOU KNOW ME. THAT'S SORT OF ALL I GOT I THINK MAYBE.

But oh Silver Age. You really know how to make things that could be kind of cool really stupid sounding, but then, you do give us hilarious panels, yes, good. Also seriously we have a Barry and a Bart, why can't we get a comics Wally in this joint!?

[bolthead]

HELLO DICK THANK GOODNESS FOR A SIDEKICK HE ACTUALLY KNOWS. 8( Even if you are Nightwing now and not Robin.

.........

Goddammit, when did Dick become Nightwing, I just realized I don't actually know this. Was it Post-Crisis? The downfall of only really know Flash fam stuff. orz

Also this is clearly a sign that you guys should start enabling. You have a whole sixish weeks before apps open up again to do this, chop chop.

[bludhavenknight]

AW YEAH DICK IS KNOWN FOR ONCE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN IDK WHY

Post-Crisis! Don't worry, seriously, I understand. Don't ask me too much about the Flash family, I don't know that much xD But yeah, it was post crisis, it's when... damn, comics history you're so nuts. He becomes Nightwing sort of officially when he shows it off to the Titans? It's when Slade hands over the Titans to the HIVE... the first time? The first time.

But Dick's best friend is Wally, so he's been pretty tight with the Flash family for a loooooong time. Long time. They've seen him grow up from Robin to Batman! Here, have a tissue for the single tear that happened. It's great.

Ugh, man, okay, there has been trying? But do you know how many people play Wally that is NOT from Young Justice? Because it is a small, small list. Small list. So small. We need to enable people to actually read the comics more then play Wally ;A;

[langsyne]

Haha yeah, I figured Barry would know most of the original Titans just because of Wally. HENCE WHY HE KNOWS DICK AND ROY AND DONNA AND GARTH. They were cool people, he liked them. 8( And then he died and everything changed and apparently Batman got more Robins and Ollie led more sidekicks astray????? Sigh.

Also if it makes you feel any better I only really got into DC late last year and Flash stuff some time this year don't judge my DC newness so it could totally happen. I would help you enable but when I talk about Flash it's to show people stupid silver age panels which usually scares more people than it attracts. orz

But if you need me for a D_M post or something, hit me.

[bludhavenknight]

Barry is that cool uncle that weird stuff happens to, because he just attracts weirdness. BUT THEY LOVE HIM ANYWAY especially when he comes back from the dead! Yay coming back from the dead! \o/ Yeah, sorry Barry, but Bruce and Ollie never ever change. That includes them hating each other, too, so, looks like you didn't miss out so much after all!

Hey, it's cool, I get it. I love showing off some crazy ass Golden Age panels of Batman and Robin. I mean, that stuff? That stuff. Anything Golden Age and Silver, they're just... beautiful, really. So beautiful.

I WILL DO THIS YES
