Incorrect Coldflash Quotes

characters who get the "i can fix him" urge not because theyre a saint who loves everyone inherently but because they think "if i can prove there's good in everyone, maybe i can start feeling like i'm worthy or being seen as good too."

it’s so special to me that so much of fan culture is textual analysis for the love of the game. like thank god there are people in my phone who are also thinking about this thing i love so much that they are writing transformative fiction as character studies and setting clips of the show to music with theme-relevant lyrics and writing long text posts analyzing every line of dialogue like!! yay!!!

Flash au where barry and lisa end up being set up on a date (pre-any captain cold idc otherwise) and they have genuinely the best most amazing date in the world where they can just talk and talk and have amazing chemistry and go to laser tag and the museum and an ice cream parlour and next thing you know theyve been on weeks of dates before they realize that neither of them made a single effort to kiss one another and theyre like?? Oh?! Uh??? And they stare at each other for a bit before they realize that they have no desire to kiss each other and that theyve straight up just been friendship maxxing this entire time when they were supposed to be on a date. Theyre like lol. Lmao even. Lisa's like well obviously we're still on for stargate marathon this weekend but do you want to try my brother ? 👀 And barrys like duh about this weekend- have you seen pictures of my friend cisco ? 👀

#theres a soulmate au i’ve seen in other fandoms#where your soulmate mark is the most meaningful thing your soulmate ever says to you the thing that makes you see them differently#and i think with these two. it’d really fuckin hurt if it only appears after the words are said#so len’s in prison after killing his dad and realises he’s got ‘let me help you’ on his thigh#and barry gets back from siberia and has ‘call me sentimental but i think the flash should remain a hero’#FUUUUUCK#coldflash (via @whenyouandmedance)

a ship dynamic that’s less of an “italicized ’oh’ moment” and more of an “italicized ‘ah fuck’ moment”

everybody straight till the narrative foil walk in

If he's so evil and heartless, why is he cuddling with me oh so gently and kissing me?

#barry to joe about len#ignoring the fact that len is also hissing and occasionally biting him#barry: shhhh he's still being domesticated#just pet him nicely and give him something shiny#len: *happy thief noises* (via @tiger-in-the-flightdeck)

#coldflash truth spell vibes#an increasingly exasperated barry trying over and over to get a straight (heh) answer out of a truth meta-whammied leonard snart#meanwhile len is fighting for his life searching for loopholes in every question in a desperate bid to avoid the mortifying ordeal#of being honest about his feelings (via @coldflasher)

Barry probably has showed up so often to Saints and Sinners to talk to Snart, debate with him, ask for help, etc. (with a complete absence of the fear anyone else would have) that it's basically common knowledge that Cold has a boyfriend that will show up and scold him like a Missus

#im fucking obsessed with this#everyone else (ie. team flash) thinks of len as Captain Cold: public menace and bad guy#but the patrons of saints (heh) know better#they all know len is just a man whipped for that twink boyfriend of his#who never shows up unless he's got a bone to pick with len#anyone else and len would have frozen them to the floor for even thinking they could talk to him like that#but nooooo#barry comes stomping in and len sits there staring at him like an eager puppy#(a few people have speculated what that means for their sex life but it's safer not to ask) (via @softboydepot)

ok fine maybe i DID come back wrong. what are you going to do about it. kill me? put me back in the ground? after all this effort? all this pain and suffering only to find out bringing me back wasn't worth it after all? you worked so hard. are you going to waste all of that just because im not what you wanted? just because i belong only to myself? are you going to let me pick out my own coffin

it’s crazy when the protagonist and antagonist are character foils

we hate each other but you make me who i am

we are morally / philosophically / ideologically opposed but also fundamentally similar in ways that create a unique connection between us

and the most devastating of all: we are actually the same person except one of us is the photonegative. two sides of the same coin

#obviously Len and Barry #but not even just red and blue/hero and villain stuff #that’s surface level shit #i’m talking about the fact that at their core both Len and Barry are fundamentally good people who want to help others #while simultaneously being broken and angry men who had their hearts and souls shredded apart at very young ages #at a base level they are essentially the same person- loyal/kind/caring/devoted/loving/angry/passionate/violent/hurt #but the circumstances of their childhoods were so vastly different that- like a cell undergoing mitosis- they split apart #barry had the love and support he needed to focus that anger and grief into positive change #Len had his positivity snuffed out by force and had to choose a violent life path to survive-grew to love it along the way #the most heartbreaking of it all is that they make each other More of what they are already #Len forces Barry to be a better hero- a better person- by challenging his world views #Barry challenges Len to be a better thief but also not to be Just a criminal- to be the man he’s always been deep down #they make each other into the best version of themselves #by being the same and yet so different (via @softboydepot)
