Okay so! I'm just gonna go ahead and say that Bryn was one of the first people Scott really felt comfortable with on the turtle. She didn't judge him for doing his shrinking thing and talking to bugs, gave him a pseudo-job during his earlier days on the turtle in the form of helping get the bar started, and was in general just awesome and friendly and open. Admttedly it's not super hard for Scott to like a person but it really does help when said person is not a douchecanoe. (See Exhibit B: Colby.)
Past that though, Scott has a lot of respect for Bryn. She's managed to start up her own business and make it a successful one at that, which is far from an easy thing to do. (He should know, he tried.) And she doesn't complain about it, at least not within earshot, and keeps trucking on even when she's tired or when life gets her down. He goes to the bar as often as he does partly because he genuinely likes the place but also partly because he likes being around Bryn. She's like a nice little ray of sunshine and seeing her makes him smile.
And then there's the fact that she's funny and smart and pretty (just because he's not a teenager doesn't mean he doesn't notice that) and not sixteen like half of the other females on the turtle and if he was still in the whole dating scene he'd definitely be scoping her out more. But alas his past two relationships kind of went to shit and he is still in the wallowing self-pity stage of his life so he'll probably never make any sort of move. But that's okay because he really values their friendship and would be eternally saddened if she ever left the turtle.
tl;dr Scott really likes you Bryn, pls don't leave. :c

And lmao god she would be...floored to find he respects her for taking on a business because she thinks it's entirely a fluke of luck that she's managed to make things work. She's never run a business before and it's nerve-wracking for her to be so invested and...yes.
But yes she is not going anywhere and they can be awesome friends for as long as they're both there. He is stuck with her friendship and it is okay if he doesn't make a pass at her because he's awesome and friendship is enough >:T!!!

This would be so much easier if I actually remembered how to tag out and tag on time but let's roll with it anyway. Barry likes Mark. This is unsurprising because it is kind of his Default State of People (you start with full marks and only get points knocked off if you do really dumb shit) BUT Mark gets bonus points not only because he actually thought the haunted house idea was a good one but also because he didn't immediately groan and hang up when Barry made his excruciatingly terrible pun.
I imagine he'd have a lot of additional respect for Mark if he ever found out Mark was Invincible but since we're not there yet and who knows if we'll ever be at this rate I'm going at I will just say that from the little Barry's seen of Mark, Barry thinks he is a very fine upstanding young gentleman and is glad the turtle has people like him.
Also thank you for having Mark assume Barry and Hal are gay for each other, that made me laugh like you would not believe.
SCOTT ON COLBY
Hahaha...ha. Scott doesn't actually hate Colby. He definitely doesn't like Colby and thinks he's kind of a douchebag and would probably be a whole lot happier if he'd never had to have deal with Poyo, but he doesn't think the guy is 100% pure evil. He is determined to be an optimist and believe that beneath that godawful smug smile and the metal plates and the damn robot chicken beats a heart of.....idk, dull bronze or something. Maybe not gold but it's not a black hole in there. Actually Colby reminds him a lot of Jack of Hearts and their horrific antagonistic relationship up until the point that Jack sacrificed himself to save Cassie. And then Scott blew up when Jack came back from the dead and exploded. Fun times all around.
Hopefully nothing like that comes to pass on the turtle because it would suck balls.
But yeah, he's willing to give Colby the benefit of the doubt at least once. Depending on how our log thread goes, that'll probably either make or break their relationship in terms of whether Scott thinks Colby is an unrepentant asshole he shouldn't waste his time on or a halfway-decent guy with weird taste in household pets. I really should go tag that thread back now.

Man, where do I even start? Things got kind of awkward fast because they're both kids at the time of first meeting. So here Barry is in his slightly chubby ten year old body and he's meeting Superman's dad who clearly must be a great man because a) Clark is a great man and b) Clark says so and Clark's word is basically God right after Bruce's word and did we mention that he's in his ten year old body and has basically just admitted that he feels uncomfortable around his own grandson? Yeah, that's kind of embarrassing.
But he's a little in awe of the man and obviously respects him a lot because Superman's dad (Barry is a Clark fanboy inside, fight me) and I think he'd actually be really fascinated by all of Jor-El's knowledge because SCIENTIST!! and also look up to him somewhat once they get to know each other better. Which they should, once I remember how RP works again.
SCOTT ON BIANCA
In which Scott protests a lot because he is an ADULT and is fully capable of taking care of himself thanks!!
But really while I joke about Scott being scared of Bianca, it's really not so much scared as he respects her a lot and does not ever want to get on her bad side. And I think he likes being 'mom'd' as Danni so nicely put it. He's used to taking care of other people but he hasn't had that many people watching out for him lately. I'm pretty sure he doesn't talk with his ex-wife anymore, who knows what happened to his sister that was mentioned once in the 60s, he's always been the small overlooked guy on whatever team he's been on, so having someone who sees him as a person and takes time out of their busy day to patch him up is really great. Also she didn't make a fuss over the fact that he broke into his own house pretty easily.
Also also she's Jaime's mom and Jaime is a great kid from what he's seen so she clearly knows what she's doing as a parent and he respects her a lot more for that. If he had to trust Cassie with someone who wasn't Tony he'd probably pick Bianca.

Scott on Jaime, and.... Scott on the Chew universe in general lskgjf
no subject
JAIME YOU ARE A GOOD KID AND YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOURSELF. IDK if this is a good thing or a bad thing but I feel like Scott would never guess Jaime was a superhero if he had to because Jaime's so normal? Lmao that sounds so weird but after Damian the kid-sized adult, Raven the master of lineface, and Bart the....well Bart, Scott actually really appreciates normal down-to-earth kids. Although after meeting Bianca it's probably not a surprise why Jaime's as good of a kid as he is. If they ever figure out video game consoles on the turtle (work on that faster, SI) Scott is totally having a video game party and Jaime will be the first person he invites. Assuming Jaime likes video games, of course.
I feel like that was really short SO CLEARLY I NEED TO TAG YOU MORE. orz
SCOTT ON THE CHEW UNIVERSE
insert that psyduck plurk emote here lmao THAT'S LITERALLY HOW HE FEELS ABOUT EVERYTHING IN CHEW RIGHT NOW.
I mean, you'd think that after stuff with the F4 and the Avengers and just everything about the superhero community in general he'd be used to weird shit like this. But at the same time Scott considers himself a very small-time hero in that he does the kind of boring small jobs no one else wants to do (none of this saving the universe stuff plz he has to go tuck in his daughter for bed at 9) so his exposure to really weird stuff has kind of been limited. He likes having a normal life and being surrounded by normal things and cyborg chickens and all that weird FDA stuff is most decidedly not normal. :( Also he's kind of old so he doesn't bounce back from things as easily as he used to so it's taking more time to get used to everything Colby and Tony have introduced.
It also doesn't help that his intro to the Chew universe was Poyo, ahaha.....I think if he ever sat down with one of the Chew dudes and actually learned about the universe he would be weirdly fascinated by it but as it is right now, Chew universe = Poyo so he's very (unsure) about it all.

and lmfasdklgjk Tony is sorry for his universe, but Poyo and Colby probably aren't. B(

Obviously, Scott quite likes Tony. This is the guy who gave him a chance after he messed up, let him work with a flexible schedule so he could be a single working dad and still spend time with his daughter, is pretty much the Avenger right after Steve. Tony has also been a really great friend on the turtle, willing to have lunch and dinner with him and check up on him (and even yes break into his house).
The problem here is that Scott is very much operating on a past!Tony basis rather than a present!Tony basis. It's kind of like the Bucky thing; Scott doesn't know all of the crap that Tony's done and all the shit that's gone down, like Civil War and the registration act and all that jazz. (I'm sure someone could have explained it to him but he was kind of too busy grieving over Cassie to pay much attention to anything else.) I don't think finding out everything that's happened (the full story as opposed to the bits and pieces he's picked up here and there) would necessarily change his opinion of Tony as a generally awesome guy. People screw up; it's a very human thing. He wants to trust Tony and I think he would try and defend Tony wherever possible. Whether or not Tony would take that well or not is a different story.
tl;dr life is good now but things might change if/when Scott asks about Civil War stuff
.....this wasn't actually useful in any way, shape, or form. I'm sorry. :c

... I'd ask after Scott re Cassie, but that's only if you feel like it.

SCOTT ON DAMIAN
Wow Damian you are the weirdest little kid. Scott's still not sure what to make of him. I mean, on the one hand, he's clearly very educated and intelligent in the classical sense (moreso than Scott will be) but on the other hand the kid is like socially inept. He doesn't really understand the concept of fun, not in the way most people do, and Scott's still not sure if he has friends or not. Not to mention that if he ever had to buy a gift for Damian he's pretty sure he'd wouldn't be browsing the shelves of Toys R Us and that feels wrong.
It's like there's a Harvard professor slash Jackie Chan stuffed into the body of a small 12 year old and it's weird.
He'll never admit this, but there's a tiny tiny part of Scott that feels sorry for Damian, being forced into acting like an adult at such a young age. (That might also just be some personal bias though, because Scott is definitely not an adult even at 40.) He kind of wants to drag the kid over for video games and movie night or something cheesy like that but he's pretty sure Damian would just scoff and so he never brings it up.
BARRY ON DAMIAN
Barry, on the other hand, doesn't think Damian is weird at all since he knows how Bruce operates, even if he doesn't fully approve of the methods. He's still a little (unsure) over the fact that Damian is Robin Numero Quatro (Bruce seriously, what the hell, not everything needs to be a competition with Ollie) but despite his skepticism he still has a healthy amount of respect for Damian and will take him completely seriously 100% of the time. Dick will always be his Robin (in the sense that he knows Dick the best) but there's absolutely no judgement or belief that Damian is any sort of inferior replacement, mostly because a) Barry doesn't do that shit, and b) Damian is not inferior in any sense.
...I feel like I had more to say but it's all slipping my mind. I guess Barry doesn't have too much of an opinion on Damian as Damian because he doesn't know Damian as Damian, but as Robin Damian is cool in his book. :|b

There's no denying that Scott has an immense soft spot for kids. Provided he's not being manipulated or coerced into spending time and babysitting, I imagine he likes spending time with them and has a little bit of a fatherly bent (or at least a cool but absent-minded uncle vibe) towards them. He didn't really have much of that when he first met Toph, largely because the first few times they spoke she was totally in control and tough and nails and seemed like she could take care of herself with both hands tied behind her back despite her age. And he liked her sassiness and her in general.
And then he caught her after the party and wow did everything change. He still thinks she's a strong person definitely but he's also thinking that maybe he should've kept a closer eye on her in the sense that even strong people need someone to lean on every now and then. It kind of killed him inside to see her cry because even though she's not his kid, he's of the opinion that the hardest things kids should have to deal with should involve deciding which toys to buy at the toy store. All of this existentialist life stuff? Yeah no, no one should have to deal with that sort of stuff at such a young age.
Scott really hopes that Toph has a lot of friends she can count on when she needs a hand (she seems like the kind of person who would) but at the same time he's also made a silent promise to himself that he'll try and be there if she ever does need him. Also he really hopes that she can find a way to come to terms with the whole future daughter thing and if she ever needs help with that he will be happy to assist. :|b

SCOTT ON BILLY
Surprisingly, the fact that Scott's first meeting with Billy happened about an hour before Cassie died doesn't really affect his opinion on the kid. Everything was just a wreck at that point and he considers it none of the YA kids' fault (even thought it kind of definitely was).
All that being said, Scott likes Billy. He seems like a kid with a good head on his shoulders and not one to abuse all his crazy magic powers. Also he clearly had a good influence on Cassie because she looked pretty happy as a superhero in those like six minutes he got to spend with her before Doom ruined everything. Any friend of Cassie's is someone he'll consider loose family, so he kind of watches out for Billy on the turtle. He feels a little guilty for not checking in as much as he should but at the same time Billy kind of brings up bad memories. BUT since Cassie's here I'm sure they'll start mingling more since y'know, teammate + dad.
BARRY ON DICK
He doesn't swing that way thanksI MEAN. Despite the fact that we haven't had any interacted on the turtle yet, I'm pretty sure Barry has a high opinion of Dick, largely because Dick is Wally's best friend. That means a lot to Barry, since after his death Wally didn't really have many good role models and friends left. He's very grateful that Dick's been there to see Wally through many of the darker times of his life.My comics timeline knowledge is super iffy but I'm pretty sure Barry's only really known Dick as Robin, so I think he'll be a little surprised to see how much Dick has matured as Nightwing. (I use that term loosely because, well, Dick.) But it'll be good surprise! Dick's competent and knows what he's doing, and he's not a grouchy old man like Bruce (sry Bruce he loves you but you seriously need to lighten up). Beyond that I can't really say BUT YOU'RE COOL IN BARRY'S (OLD-FASHIONED AND REALLY SQUARE) BOOK.
tl;dr all my characters like your characters because your characters were all good friends with my characters' relatives

Barry's take on Bart, please.
no subject
Contrary to what Geoff Johns wants everyone to believe, I don't believe Barry actually dislikes Bart or goes out of his way to avoid the kid. It's already been stated several times that Flashes are all about family, biological and otherwise. I do think that Barry doesn't quite know where he's supposed to fit in into Bart's life.
With Wally it was easy. Wally didn't really have anyone in his life since his family life sucked. He needed people - family, role models, friends. Iris covered the family side of things, Barry covered the more role model side of things, and the friends came later. Worked out great until Barry died but that's a whole other story.
Bart though.....he's already had so many people in his life when Barry finally shows up after being dead for so long. Max and Wally (and family) and Jay and Joan and Iris and Tim and Kon and all the other Teen Titans. He's got family, friends, some pretty awesome role models (see Bart's excellent first conversation opener of "But where's Max?"). There's not really any empty hole that needs to be filled like there was with Wally.
Barry wants to get to know Bart, both on the turtle and off. He really does. But there's this disconnect he doesn't know how to bridge, partly because he's not familiar with how society has changed while he's been gone, partly because he doesn't really get the younger generation nowadays so he can't connect there, and partly because everyone's been making such a fuss about what a great guy he is and elevating him to a level he's very uncomfortable with. Mostly it's just a thing of him not knowing where he fits in, since that Bart already has Max and Jay covers the granddad role.
To a degree he regrets missing out on so much of Bart's life. He's definitely proud. (Iris has nothing but good things to say about Bart, I refuse to believe otherwise.) Really, he just needs a push in the right direction. Also maybe some common ground that isn't "you're a speedster, I'm a speedster, let's go." Hot dogs and pizza is a good start though.
I wrote most of this in between work breaks so if it doesn't make sense that's why. Actually, rereading it now, it doesn't make any sense but I'm too lazy to rewrite.
