The title "A celebration of Wally West" makes my heart happy. It is a milestone in itself to reach 800 solo issues . Wonder Woman is also accomplishing this feat in 2023. The longevity of these stories is thanks in large part to the many creative teams that have told their own versions of these heroes. Many of them will appear on issue 800 of The Flash. It will also prelude to the new creative team, which launches the rebooted Flash title during "Dawn of DC."
There is plenty to reminisce about when it comes to milestones such as this. There are plenty of amazing Flash stories told over those 800 issues that showcase why The Flash is such a fantastic character for DC. I, for one, can't wait to get my hands on this oversized adventure and then see where the story takes us from there.

Heatwave | Frankie Morales x Reader Drabble.
You can't sleep with your furnace of a boyfriend smothering you, but you can't sleep without him either.
Warnings: Mention of naked Frankie, implied both reader and Frankie sleep naked, just fluff based on my own sleep issues <3
Un-beta'd - wrote it mostly in bed this morning.
720~ Words
Your skin burns, hot and sticky as you feel the weight of another person draped over you. Most of the time you can just roll him off and strip the sheets off when the weather gets this extreme. But not tonight. Tonight, Frankie will not relinquish you from his catatonic embrace.
Frankie groans softly as he spoons you. His thick fingers splayed across your stomach; broad chest fused to your sweat-slick back. One leg is draped over your hip and its almost blissful. Almost.
But you’re too fucking hot.
“Frankie, baby,” you whine as you try and wriggle from his grip, “Too hot.”
All that seems to elicit is a muffled “hmm” from him as he somehow pulls you in tighter. His scruff tickles your shoulder as he nuzzles his face behind your ear.
Great, now you’re too hot and you’re turned on. There’s no way you can sleep like this.
“Frankie,” you groan as you prise his arm off you, “Need to sleep. I’ve got that meeting with my boss in the morning.”
You know it’s falling on deaf ears, but it makes you feel better, convincing yourself more than him. You slip out from under him after a minute of wrestling his thick thigh from over you.
“Love you baby,” you say softly as you press a gentle kiss to his furrowed brow.
He stirs as he reaches for your now empty spot on the bed, and you can’t help but feel a little guilty. You love him so much, but you can’t sleep like this.
You make your way down the hall and into the spare room. You slip under the fresh sheets of the modest single bed. You think you’re settled, sheet covering your lower half – because lord knows even in a heatwave your feet get cold – and head resting lightly on the pillow.
Ten minutes tick by, then twenty. When you check your phone for the third time it’s only been twenty-five minutes, but you still can’t sleep. You haul yourself back out of bed, cursing the weather as you slip back into your bedroom.
The pale moonlight illuminates Frankie’s sleeping form as he lays on his back. He’s sprawled out in the middle of the mattress, bare to the humid night air where he’s kicked the sheets off in his sleep. You ease yourself back down onto the bed, crawling into the small space left as you hope Frankie will stay where he is.
Your head hits the pillow just as Frankie shifts back onto his side, a sleepy grunt falling from his lips as he reaches for you. His fingertips ghost your burning skin as he scoots closer.
“Frankie,” you groan as you turn to face him, “I need to sleep, please just roll over.”
“But I like holding you,” he protests sleepily as you see his eyes flutter open, “What’s wrong?”
“I’m too hot Frankie, I can’t sleep with you wrapped around me, it’s too much,” you admit with downturned eyes, teeth pinged into your bottom lip and embarrassment and shame curdle in your belly.
“Amor, I’m sorry,” Frankie says with a sigh as he reaches for you, but he stops himself, “I can sleep in the spare room if that helps?”
“No,” you say as you cup his scruffy jaw with both hands, “I tried that, doesn’t feel right without you in bed with me,” you explain as you scrape your fingers through his scruff.
“What can I do?” Frankie asks as he places his hands over your own.
“Stay with me like this?” You ask as you brush your feet against his, “Just touching a little?”
“I can do that, go to sleep mi sol, I love you.”
“I love you too Frankie,” you say with a yawn.
Eventually you both fall asleep, close to touch, but Frankie is sure to keep his distance. He wakes up sometime in the night, with you curled up against his chest, dead to the world. He smirks to himself as he nuzzles the top of your head. Some things never change, and no matter how hot you get, you always crawl right back into his arms. No matter how poorly you sleep.
“Sleep well, amor.”
He whispers against your scalp as his eyes flutter closed.

the love story in tgcf may not have explicitly said 'stalking is romantic' but its love interest literally became obsessed with the mc as a CHILD, decided to live for him, died for him several times, and then spent 800 years looking for him without having anything else going on in his personal life besides 'being really good at stuff' and 'running a city' and that all-encompassing devotion is reciprocated so it IS framed as romantic so there's not really a leg to stand on here. it's actually extremely funny to say that tgcf isn't about an obsessive fan because it really really is it is LITERALLY a diety/worshipper romance. in pivoting away from one harmful trope, the author did something nearly as bad
it's the same thing as when ppl talk about how mdzs is 'anti-rape' because 'oh wwx felt REALLY bad and it almost ruined their relationship' when it literally sexualizes rape (in the incense burner extras), minimizes sexual assault (having wwx be happy he was forcibly kissed) and reduces a horrific violation to a 'miscommunication'. more minor but it annoys me when ppl hype it up like 'ohhh it's about communication you have to communicate!' yeah lwj never told wwx about the PM kiss he had to figure out that shit on his own
and btw it's also why sv/ss fell flat. the mockery of porny stallion novels was actually extremely accurate and funny, but she recreated many of the same issues in the book that was supposed to be a critique of that genre. so it's like, great! you know why this didn't work, but now you're going to write something almost as bad, just in a more complicated way? what are we getting from this?

fallout: new vegas bleed me dry sex any% post-game commentary for those who made the correct decision not to watch:
the goal was to do red lucy's quest starting from a new game as fast as possible since she falls in love with you for your egg-collecting skills. I made an energy weapons crit build character and went north from goodsprings to black mountain and cut north to repconn headquarters. I got the matter modulator and a fuckton of microfusion cells. I then stole everything in the silver rush once I got to freeside. I also got veronica and ed-e and collected the snowglobes for goodsprings, hoover dam, the mormon fort, the strip, and the test site when we eventually got to the lucky 38. we made a detour to the tops to seduce benny and fuck him to death (since it was valentine's day.) we sold the snowglobes and killed mr. house. we bought the unique recharger pistol in novac (which we really didn't need since the unique plasma rifle was more than enough.) we got boone's beret and left him to stew about his dead wife on valentine's day. we then got the unique gauss rifle (very important.) NOW we started the quest. we did vault 22 for the mantis eggs and then got the rest of the eggs up to the deathclaw eggs without much of note happening. I got to see mean sonofabitch absolutely LAUNCH a fiend with his sledgehammer. we went to quarry junction last and I stealth-crit the dealthclaws with the unique gauss rifle and only used about half of my total microfusion cells. I took the last eggs to red lucy, completed the quest, went to her bedroom, then called time and quit the game because poorly-acted sex sounds are not safe for twitch.
happy valentine's day! if anyone else tries this I'll be fucking surprised but I'd kill to hear how you would do it. energy weapons just seemed like the fastest way to get OP for free besides like the alien blaster which funnily enough would be in the exact same place as the gauss rifle. the free ammo in repconn/silver rush and the low strength/skill requirements for the gauss rifle are just too good for becoming a killing machine as quick as possible without exploits

psa to any submas fans who like buying on rebubble, please make sure the shop you are buying from is the actual owner of the art and not someone reuploading stolen art, because i'm going down a reporting rabbit hole of accounts uploading stolen train guys art and god there is so much.
notable examples i have seen of this is my (old, gross) art being stolen by the redbubble user lel3rm4rto, and nozukat's art being stolen by the redbubble user osc4r0reido. (links lead to the original art, and the report pages for the stolen art. i picked "other" and linked to the original pieces, mentioning that it was stolen and adding some of the additional details noted below). but i'm sure there are undoubtedly others, and i'm pretty sure all art from both accounts is stolen, i just sadly don't know the sources of the other stolen art (please feel free to add onto this with more sources if you know them)
an easy way to spot these profiles with nothing but stolen art so far seems to be the presence of this profile description "I like supporting my followers buying their products. Welcome to my RedBubble store! I offer a range of high-quality products and designs in various styles. My designs are created with passion and attention to detail. Whether you’re looking for a special gift for a loved one or just something to brighten up your own space, I’ve got you covered. Thanks for visiting and happy shopping!" both of the profiles i saw were being listed as located in Tehuacán, Mexico, are following 0 people, have only stolen submas art listed as designs, and have stolen submas art as their shop icons as well.
godspeed, fellow train guy likers
