🦣🌌✨ Call me Orla. She/Her. I'm 21+, and very queer 🏳️‍🌈 Neurodiverse. Pacific Northwest.

I've been reading comics for as long as I can remember. This blog is 21+ and there will be occasional mature/adult content or themes. I tag everything that is commonly triggering but if you need a specific tag let me know.

Find me on AO3 as just Earthshine.

Prompts and writing requests are generally always open.

I am a multishipper. We do NOT do ship wars here, and we do not do character bashing. I really am enjoying KonBart, HalBarry, JayEddie, TimBern, Brainy/Lyle, Scottbarda and Lightrion atm but there's dozens more. Because people keep asking me if it's not posted; no I do not ship batcest.

I love and embrace all trans headcanons.

This blog is my escape from the world so I stick to fandom here or things that generally interests me.

Comics that I blog about frequently and are my zone:

Impulse

Superboy

Young Justice

Legion of Super-Heroes

L.E.G.I.O.N. and R.E.B.E.L.S.

New Gods

Orion

Blue Beetle

Other random interests and series that will come up:

The works of Osamu Tezuka (Astro Boy, Jetter Mars)

Pluto

Banana Fish (manga)

The Dark Crystal

Tolkien (The Silmarillion)

90s

Sometimes I make really stupid mistakes that I proclaim with all the assurance and confidence of a gold medal Olympian. Oops. Sorry it's part of being human, regrettably.

Ask Box is always open but I really do mean this; I do NOT answer or respond to or even acknowledge hate, bait, troll or general messages intended to cause an inflammatory reaction. You WILL be blocked, even on anon, as Tumblr has that option. So if you're new and from Twitter and didn't know, now you do.

Unless the person is actively causing HARM, or intends to harm me or someone else, or you are warning me about Zarabithia's return, please do not send me callout messages. It's exhausting.

Again I do not ship batcest, incest, adult/minor or underage nsfw ships. I am furious I even need to post this.

Now I’m all self conscious about this fanart because that AU fic by girl_starfish is just freaking perfect and I feel like I didn’t do Vampyre!Bart justice. 

But here it is since it was requested…

I’m honestly intrigued by Bart’s personality when the vampyre takes over.  :P

I'm two issues into The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive (2006) and I'm starting to question if the author has actually read Bart's comic before writing this because how do you just mess up every single detail from the hero's origin 😭??? Like the basic facts are mostly correct but the details are just completely off. From Bart's just regularly reading in the San Francisco library with a cast on and Wally saying that he took Bart as his partner when he was Impulse. To Barry somehow staying long enough in the future to meet baby Bart before dying in crisis on infinite earths. And Max naming him Impulse?

I knew that the series has an awful reputation but I was not ready for all that...

No, no they did not.

The story goes, as confirmed by Mark Waid and Geoff Johns, is that Dan Didio wanted Bart to be The Flash, and yet despite numerous people within DC (Mark and Geoff included) begging him, pleading with him and trying to reason with him that this was NOT something fans wanted and it would not fit Bart's character, Dan ordered the book anyway.

We can assume the writer (Bilson) was essentially tapped for writing it with no prior knowledge of the character beyond what may have just been briefly conveyed - because there is no conceivable way that anyone writing Bart would get THAT MUCH wrong.

just thinking about bart repressing his grief for fifteen issues bc he didn’t wanna tell his friends that losing kon broke him and that he really did tear across the multiverse and helped reform young justice to find kon, and once yj was reformed, the lightning brought him back to kon, bc their love is also the hearth of the core yj friendship.

bart found kon, and he only broke down when he thought he could cry about it all by himself, cuz who cares about bart allen’s feelings, his grief, his many deaths, his resurrection? who cares about the fact that he still thinks this can’t be real because he was drugged, lost, and roaming mad looking for kon?

kon, because kon’s the person who grounds bart to his humanity. his lightning rod. at the very end when bart coulda broken down on his own, kon went chasing after him and let him break down with someone bart loved and trusted. bc bart DOES matter, and only kon could confirm that, because even tho bart was the catalyst, kon was the lynchpin.

and the entirety of yj understood that. none of the geoffian tomfoolery. just 24/7 bart, kon, and bartkon loving during yj 2019. THE greatest (accidental) lovestory ever told

"You wanna kiss me so bad." A grin spread across Bart's lips as he was yanked by the collar of his suit. He had gotten Kon's full attention. And though Kon grit his teeth, he knew that Bart was not wrong in the least. No matter what the speedster did to annoy him, Bart had him wrapped around his little finger.

I just couldn't get the thought out of my head of how BartKon this meme was, so I just had to go back and draw it one more time.

Close up as well because I really love Kon's chin fuzz here. :3c
