#craydl dc

Made this little guy I drew into a keychain for my older sisters Christmas present!

Craydl is long gone by the time of Thad's redemption starts but he leaves Thad with one message that sticks with him throughout it all that he has to decode himself, "Live" and that's what Thad tries to do to live but is always hindered in some way along with that due to his mental state he takes it the wrong way and thinks craydl means to live with the flash family

And while I joke about Wally bashing thad's against a table, I think realistically it wouldn't even be anything, he would just ignore him, he isn't his problem anymore he's Steph's, the hexagon corporations, Greta's and Bart's problem, he can raise wade and make sure his kids are growing up right but Thad keeps trying to join the family and while Wally looks at him with blank stares, no matter what Thad tries even if he's a saint he won't ever be allowed back because that option passed a long time ago

So Thad keeps going through his redemption and it only gets worse and worse through every Step no matter what he tries everything that follows him is Senseless violence and even bloodshed even if he tries to stop it it just has the same outcome but he doesn't stop trying to be redeemed to prove to people he can do some good even if he can't succeed because he wants to live, but that doesn't mean he's alone

He's still got people and while it's not the flash family it's still people who are there for him no matter what through all the craziness of his redemption and this is where craydl's message finally gets decoded, his message wasn't to live with the flash family it was for Thad to live with the family he's made

Throughout all the violence and bloodshed he will have to face at times he still has people who gave him a chance and that is his family, The flash family was the one he wanted but the one he gets is the one he needs and that's all craydl wanted for Thad when he shut down for Thad to live with the people who care about him and who he cares about him
