My name is Barry Allen, and I'm the fastest man alive. When I was a child, I saw my mother killed by something impossible. My father went to prison for her murder. Then an accident made me the impossible. To the outside world, I'm just an ordinary forensic scientist, but secretly I use my speed to fight crime and find others like me. I am The Flash.
Barry Allen:
CCPD Forensics. Star Labs.
The Flash:
Justice League. Central City.
So much for one man to carry, and yet, Barry Allen does it without hesitation. He is a man of honor and virtue, never to be forgotten.

Once again, it's @theguybehindthechair . I love and adore Barry Allen and wanted to take a crack at writing him. My notes are below, as always.
I haven't done nearly as much research into Barry as I have into my other characters (which doesn't say much considering the amounts I do for the others). A lot of my background knowledge comes from the earlier seasons of the CW show, DCAMU, and various other Barry Allen appearances.
My version is, as usual, a forensic analyst for the CCPD and also works as a scientific consultant for Star Labs (that's how he gets away with spending a lot of time there).
He was raised by a friend of the family and police chief, Darryl Frye, after his mother's death and his father's incarceration.
Barry is in his mid-30s, transgender and bisexual.
Shipping: I am a minor (16+) so if you want to ship, you must A) also be a 16+ minor or B) be an adult I know well and can trust.
I like Barry with basically anyone in the league (that's an adult and not Wally) -> esp halbarry, batflash, superflash, wonderflash
Iris is a childhood friend and/or work acquaintance. Iris/Barry is welcome. If they aren't shipped, I'll go off the notion that they are exes (as to keep Bart in the timeline)
He sees Wally as his own nephew, despite no blood relation. He's Wally's mentor. If Wallace (not Wally, different West) exists, then he assumes that same role with Barry as his mentor.

Yippee!! Clark and Barry!!! My favorite midwestern folk!! I do ship them :)))
1. What made you ship it?
There is some really good fanart here on Tumblr for this ship that got me to enjoy them together. I’m also very much a “almost everyone in the league loves Barry” truther, but I try not to push that too much bc I don’t want to become like one of the batfam fans who makes posts about everyone losing their mind over how hot Bruce is lol. Specifically though, posts with Clark carrying Barry are what convinced me. They are too cute.
2. What are your favorite things about the ship?
I do think they are just the politest men to ever exist, and I think that makes for such a fun dynamic. They both are so kind, and they both really value having people in their lives they connect with. I think there is also something to be said about them being a relationship in which neither have to hold back physically or mentally. Both can relate to one another's concerns with their powers, as both have had to figure out what they are capable of the hard way.
Overall, though, my favorite thing about them is how much they respect one another, and go to each other when they are facing hard times. They regularly search one another out when facing a moral conundrum, because both believe that the other can bring some clarity to their situation. They both think that the other knows what's best, and as so, rely on each other.
Also, idk, I love them being little midwestern guy together. They both say "ope" when they run into each other. They both grew up on country music. I specifically think Martha and Jonathan love Barry. I think Barry comes over to help them with their soil, creating a perfect PH balance for each crop, and I think they won't let him leave until he's devoured at least ten pies as a thank you.
ALSO also, anytime Barry hides behind Clark or his cape. I eat that shit up.
3. Is there any unpopular opinions you have on this ship?
I don't think I do, unless me hating the Snyder version of these characters, and therefor the ship version of them, counts. Ever time I try to read fanfic of these two cuties I have to clear out the DCEU stuff :/.

@dcforgaza prompt: hungover hal jordan for @meownhi!
[ID: Fanart of Oliver Queen, Hal Jordan, and Barry Allen at a Justice League meeting. Oliver pulls out a chair beside Hal and says to him with a cheeky grin, “Morning, Hal. You’re looking good.” Hal slouches in his seat, burying a hand through messy hair, squinting against the overhead lights to look up at Oliver. Little bursts of squeans surround Hal’s head in his hungover daze. Barry worriedly rushes to Hal’s side to give him a paper cup of coffee.]

my little sister asked me to draw “barry and hal and batman as friends when they were younger,” and who am i to deny a childhood friends au
tip jar
[ID in alt text + readmore]
IMAGE 1: Fan comic of Bruce Wayne, Barry Allen, and Hal Jordan in a childhood friends AU. Bruce has dark slicked back hair, bat-motif eyebrows, a grey button-down, dark slacks, and dark dress shoes. Barry has feathery blonde hair with strands behind his ears resembling wings, lightning motif eyebrows and blush, white short sleeved button-up, a blue vest and red bowtie, light blue jeans, and white winged sneakers. Hal has short fluffy brown hair, freckles and an off-center tooth gap, a pilot jacket over a green T-shirt, dark baggy jeans, and brown sneakers.
Bruce: [knee to ground, observing a feather through a magnifying glass]
Barry: [crouching, concentrated expression, nodding with finger to lip]
[vague word bubble behind them reading: *sleuth sleuth* *ramble ramble ramble* *science science* *blah blah blah*]
Hal: [head thrown back in exasperation, holding toy airplane] This is so BOOORRIIING.
IMAGE 2:
Hal: [bored frustrated expression, arms out] Can we play something else now?
Bruce [rolling eyes] and Barry [furrowed eyebrows]: [simultaneously] No.
IMAGE 3:
Hal: [shaking Barry by the shoulders] Barryyyy
Barry: [undisturbed, hands on hips still deep in concentration]
-
Barry: [unchanged pose] Hal, I already said no. It’s not fun when you’re the only one with the plane.
Hal: [frowns]
-
Hal: [forward facing unamused expression] Hrmm.
-
Hal: [puts hand on Barry’s shoulder as if making a pitch] Well… who said it had to be airplanes again?
Barry: [eyes light up with curiosity] ?
IMAGE 4:
Hal: [on monkey bars, wearing a green rubber band as a ring] My power ring lets me fly, so good luck reaching me now!
Barry: [looking up at him with a pokerfaced pout]
-
Barry: [viewed from above, awkward determined smile] Uh, well, I can run so fast that it creates a tornado that pulls you back down!
-
Barry: [starts to run in a circle, tongue out of determination]
Hal: [holding on to monkey bar with one hand, pointing his “ring” at Barry with the other] Oh yeah? Then I’ll just stop you in your tracks before you can even take the next step!
-
Barry: [stops, looks up at Hal in irritation, hair swooshed back from running] What? That’s cheating.
IMAGE 5:
Hal: [hopping down from monkey bars] How is that cheating? You literally just used time travel, like, a second ago!
-
Barry: [counting off his fingers] But you can fly, AND use telekinesis, AND shield yourself, AND create anything, AND—
Hal: [throwing arms up in disbelief] Barry, you TIME TRAVEL.
-
Hal and Barry: [blurry foreground bickering]
Bruce: [deadpan annoyed expression] <- Chose a superhero persona w/ no powers
IMAGE 6: Barry Allen narration boxes from The Flash (2016) #21: “Bruce Wayne. The Batman. The day I joined the Justice League was the first time in my life I felt like I had real friends I could relate to… But when I talked forensics… I could see in their eyes that I might as well have been speaking another language. Except Bruce. We could talk about evidence for hours.”
IMAGE 7: Hal Jordan narration boxes from Legends of the DC Universe #33: “Just seeing Barry lifts my spirits. He always had a knack for doing that. I don’t know if I was ever truly innocent… but handing out with the Flash sure made me feel that way. We were like a couple of kids—playing at being super-heroes. So I don’t think anyone’ll mind if we play again…”
