Aw, no. No, sweetie, no.

Garth. Baby boy. You are so stupid. Incredibly sweet but stupid. I can guarantee you that Roy would be better with an absentee Oliver Queen then he would be with RUDY AND MARY WEST.

Whooooo boy. This isn't- this isn't even, like, a writer just not knowing Wally's lore or whatever, this is MARK FUCKING WAID writing this. Do you comprehend what that means?? DO YOU?!?

That man in that kitchen is two seconds away at all times from going full Ted Bundy. I'm not even fucking joking. It is so insane how much I am not joking.

Wally's father is dangerous. He ran a work camp for children and planned on using land mines on them! He sold his son to a death cult!!! He hired a hitman to kill his wife!!!!!

But he's also really fucking good at playing the part of the 'normal suburban Dad' and that's what Waid is showing REALLY FUCKING WELL HERE. Rudy is playing his part and he's playing it well. Don't think I didn't notice Rudy dropping the coffee pot in front of Wally and fucking smirking when it 'magically' popped back up on the counter. This is a man who knows about his son's powers and is playing along. This man is a problem.

And I'm super excited to see how Waid plans for this story to progress.

#dude literally the fucking chills i got when Rudy dropped the coffee pot and Wally grabbed it at superspeed #i was like NO MY IDIOT SON WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?#then Rudy fucking joked about it #like???

Round One, Part Seven!

Who’s the worse dad?

View the brackets here. Reasons for submission under the cut.

Jack Drake:

Listen I do think he loved Tim but by God that doesn't make their relationship healthy

Rudy West:

I mean fuckin look at him

he keeps on abusing and manipulating his son, and has even hit him multiple times in comic issues. he constantly puts down Wally's dreams, he's a despicable person. he even collaborated with siblings to create AN ENTIRE CULT just so he can keep his son under his own fingers. no wonder Wally's more receptive to Barry, eugh.

there was definitely a thing with a cult mixed in with the normal bad parenting

thinking abt how rudy only had wally cause a cult told him that his kid would be powerful.

he never cared about his son or his wife- his family was just another one of his schemes.

the panels before the scene that he tells wally that is literally him complaining that the kid he tried to mold and control wouldn't obey him as he wanted him to, and then siccing a group of people on him to beat his ass and abduct him.

a lot of fanon things interpret rudy as this stupid bumbling alchoholic who beats his wife and his kid when he's drunk, but he's FAR from that. he's cruel and cold to pursue his own goals and has never once loved the family he wants to control.

#dc #wally west #rudy west #tbh im shitting on rudy here a lot (which he deserves)#but honestly mary isnt that much better. just worse in different ways #anyway tune in next time where i explain why iris west was the first person to unconditionally love wally

Top five parent supporting characters in comics?

okeydokey top 5 parent supporting characters. I will be grouping parents who are mom and dad together :P

Berto and Bianca Reyes - they are the top comic parents of all time IMO. They just work very well with Jaime's story and we get to see them supporting him and I love them.

Jonathan and Martha Kent - I love that we can see superman come to his parents when he's an adult for comfort and advice, I think it's something we don't see a ton in fiction!

Arella - she's so tragic and works very well with raven's character. She makes me so emo! She gave up her happiness for Raven! She jumped into the Netherverse to fight endlessly against the man who tormented her to save her daughter! And then the complete lack of communication after Terror of Trigon which I think works very well for their characters even though it was not nice to Raven :P

Hippolyte - another mom who makes me emo! Started feeling things about her way back in Perez's run when we see her questioning the gods when Zeus turns his eye on Diana (sadly then this is like. not made into anything). And then we definitley have the "i'll do anything for my daughter even if it screws over other people". And I love the idea behind her and Diana's conflict in Jimenez's run (sadly lots of it was built off very mid JSA comics that do not adequately explain why Hippolyte has such a connection to JSA)

Rudy and Mary West - OK look are they good parents? No. Do they fill supporting character roles amazingly in Messner-Loebs Flash? yes :P To quote Rudy "by pretending to be dead, so taht he can talk to me 'psychically i've corrupted my son, made him betray his beliefs and turned him into a cheap pitchman. somehow i thought this would be more fun" (link) anyway very fun to read about!

Thinking about how funny it is for Daniel and Rudy West to both be so determined to have their kid be named Wallace. I imagine Rudy named Wally Wallace very cheekily and Daniel was pissed. Then when he had Ace, Daniel really said "fuck it" and named him Wallace and the whole fam was just like??? Also their poor wives. Both were probably like "That's a terrible name, wtf?"

TRUTH ABOUT WALLY'S DAD, GUYSS!!!

We never seen Wally's dad being abusive in Young Justice, but in comics, he literally is. That's why people always write fics like that about Wally. Plus, he wasn't an alcoholic, just was a asshole that thinks violence could make him better.

Not just that, in another comic (flash 1987 series), wally said that Rudy beaten him for other reasons too. He also was a cheater

And a literal criminal

That's a long story too. But back in topic, Wally's dad being an alcoholic is a fiction. And like i said before, we never saw him being abusive in YJ. So fact that Rudy West is an asshole isn't a thing that fans made up. But can't say same thing about alcoholic YJ version...

The Flash Annual (1987) #2

[ID: A comic panel of Rudy West wearing a trench coat over jeans and a button up shirt and a green fedora stepping into a bus with his red briefcase as he talks to Wally, who’s wearing a red hoodie with a yellow stripe and watching him. Rudy: “Remember, son... the world stinks! Life’s a sewer! People’re out to get you. Never trust anybody! Only winners count!” End ID]

#what an icon #of something #the context: he tried killing wally's mom/his wife because his weird alien cult thing told him to cut ties and the planetary invasion faile #so he decided to become a private detective and hang out with his son #wally west #rudy west #what a guy...

Bad idea time!

Imagine Wally West waking up and he’s Kid Flash all over again. Linda’s gone. The twins are gone. Only the Flash isn’t Barry. And it’s not Thawne either.

It’s his dad, Rudy.

I’ve been wondering. I know that Wally’s dad in the comic was abusive, but where did the fandom interpretation that he was an alcoholic come from? From what I’ve seen of him he’s normally stone cold sober in the comics, but I might be wrong.

I think people find it easier to write and picture the stereotypical 'alcoholic abusive father'. For people who aren't familiar with Wally's home life, it's probably just what their mind goes to automatically when they think of an abusive dad.

After all, what kind of sociopath would abuse their kid while sober?

Rudy would.

People don't typically jump from 'abusive dad' to 'sociopath in a cult with homicidal tendencies'. The man is a cold calculating motherfucker. Like Dexter on steroids. But that's extremely unusual for cases of child abuse, so people don't automatically assume that unless they actually know the lore.

But, yeah, I think that's pretty much just what it is.

Little sparkle au meets little chickadee au Rudy coming to take his kid

Dick: Wally, cover your ears.

Wally: okie *does it*

Batfam, confused

Dick, to Rudy: kill yourself, I hope you die a painful death, and I hope when you drive all the way back to Keystone you lose control of the wheel and drive into a tree and the EMTs don't come until you are already pass tenses, you waste of oxygen, bitch ass of a father.

Rudy, stunned by a 6yo:😨

Batfam: 😨

Dick, back to Wally and takes his hands off his ears: okay, let's go get Alfred milkshakes.

Wally: yay milkshakes!!

Once back to normal

Bruce: do you regret the things you said to Rudy?

Dick: no, I would have worded it better but I was six so.

Jason: you were unhinged, I don't think you understand.

Dick: maybe, but I ain't apologizing to him.

Bruce: oh I don't want you to apologize I just wanted to know if you regret what you said.
