Well said!  I'm sure the Rogues have been loyal to him for more reasons than just quality work and being somewhat shady at times.

Oh wow, that's hardcore!  Very cool, and I know you'll appreciate such an item :)

@dernwen

Definetly not too old to enjoy your fandoms! Never let anyone tell you that you are.

Thank you, it means a lot.

@deadskillet

You're never too old to enjoy fandom, or it's thirstier aspects! Besides you're still young

It might be the chronic illness and the change in weather but I don’t feel young at the moment. But thank you for being reassuring, it helps :)

@handsomejackshairplugs

nahhhh :D

:D

@politeandnotgay

You are OBLIGED to enjoy fandom and write thirsty fanfic

Yes ma’am! The temptation to write something filthy is quite high.

@mr-villainous

You're one of my favorite fandom blogs. If you're too old for fandom then fandom is gonna suck. And all those 50ish year olds in fandom media are living a lie. You're good <3

Awww! Thank you. You’re so kind.

Also Hunter is not professor zoom, that's Eobard in the comics. Hunter named himself after him as just Zoom.

Oh, I got it backwards, my mistake. This is what I get for going purely by memory. Thanks.

I think the "per se" does leave room for that caveat.  I personally don't like Walter because he was a brutal jerk, but he wasn't truly a villain, just one of those brooding `90s anti-heroes that liked to serve 'justice' with violence...I don't consider anti-heroes to be heroic, but they're in a grey zone that isn't truly villainous either.  But yeah, Walter was definitely a violent jerk.  Presumably he was meant to show us how cruel Wally could be if the circumstances lined up.

purplecyborgnewt said: Yeah, that was the Dream Girl one.

There were way too many of those stories :]

Oh my word, you were right!!  The message was from July 2019, and I have no idea how I didn't see it all this time.  THANK YOU for your advice, this has been driving me nuts for ages!

Spoilers for upcoming Flash episodes beyond this point!

secondratevillain said: I’m looking forward to seeing this new Rainbow Raider variant as I am curious, but you make a good point about Sam and now I’m a little nervous about Roy’s fate. (Seriously. What is with this show and killing off the Rogues?!)

At least Mark didn't get killed by his successor (yet), although it wasn't from lack of trying.  I guess it makes the writing easier for the showrunners because now you don't have to deal with the original and the replacement clashing or competing with each other, but it's a lazy way of handling things.  Especially for fans of the character(s) who got killed off.  The cynic in me can't help but wonder if new up-and-coming actors cost less than the previous ones, so maybe it's done for the sake of the budget :P

eobeth said: I’m looking for that one myself too.

sharpandtothepoint replied to your photo post: YAYYY! more Hartley and David content! This was a good read and I hope both are alive till the end.

It was pretty good!  I'm not a fan of zombies at all so the DCeased concept isn't my favourite, but the character moments in the various series are great.

My suspicion is that Hartley doesn't survive because he's amongst Jimmy Olsen's photos commemorating the heroes in the very first issue, but you never know.  Maybe he manages to escape the planet and Jimmy's just remembering the people who were important in the fight.

one-rogue-army replied to your photo post: Why hypnosis via Negative Speed Force? Eobard's had that power for ages! Way back when he was trying to force Albert to become Doctor Alchemy.

That's a good point.  I always chalked up that incident to the same phenomenon as half the Rogues having psi powers during the Silver and Bronze Age but never demonstrated it again after one use, but there is precedent for it in his case.  It still comes out of left field though, because I think only a handful of people remember it and there's no reference to that story in the issue.

one-rogue-army replied to your photo post: Also, Roscoe's been upgraded to tapping into the Speed Force? I thought he was a pseudo-speedster, using telekinesis to propel himself. Kind of like Zolomon manipulating time's flow to simulate superspeed.

We don't know if this Roscoe taps into the Speed Force, but the New 52 Roscoe Dillon did (Turbine did too) and this Roscoe's current status/powers is unclear.  Regardless, I don't think the issue was explicitly talking about those with a Speed Force connection, it specifically mentioned vibrations.  I'd think that anyone able to move at high speed could affect such vibrations, and so can people like Hartley and probably the Fiddler.

oimoi-op replied to your photo post: Holy shit they brought Henry back?!?! And those characters from the bad Force Quest arc???!!! And XS?!?!?!?! Man they really did bring back everyone

Pretty much!  I'm a little surprised Hartley isn't there, but nearly everyone got at least a shout-out.  Even Johnny Quick was mentioned.

eobeth replied to your photo post: Eobard did have psychic powers in some of the golden age comics. Not exactly speedforce hypnosis, but then they didn't have the speedfofce then either.

Yeah, though as noted above, a lot of Flash villains inexplicably had psi powers in one issue during the Silver/Bronze Ages and never showed them again.  

purplecyborgnewt replied to your photo post: Yep, those randomly materialised mental powers that he used to knock Barry out. But now he upgraded those to the "Inflict Intrusive Thoughts" level.

Heh, that's the perfect name for his ability :D

belphegor1982 replied to your photo post: Blonde Hartley always makes me go "yeeehhhnope", but this is nice! "Have you tried turning your flute upside down", *snort* Perfect :D

Yeah, I really like Tom Taylor's work.  And though zombies are not my cup of tea, I enjoy the way he mixes humour and horror/drama in his comics...it can be a bit of emotional whiplash at times, but in a good way.

terranerin05997 replied to your photo post: Im Happy that he is back. But i kinda expected that He left with Wally to the other earth after Wally safed him... Did Wally just saved him from a few Zombies and then forgott ?

Wally was rescuing a city of people so maybe he did lose track of a few, or maybe Hartley went back for David or his flute and missed his opportunity to escape.  It'd be interesting if the reason is addressed in upcoming issues.

secondratevillain replied to your photo post: Of all the panels I could have wanted, I would never have guessed that one of them would be David Singh - super serious police captain - and Hartley being carried by the scruff of the neck like unruly kittens XD

Yes, good point!  Who knows what he's accessed during his time travels, which is why I suspect he'd probably find an out somehow.  Like I said, even if it takes him a few centuries to escape he just has to travel back to whatever era he wants.

Spoilers for Flash #762 beyond this point!

eobeth replied to your photo post: I'm so miffed that Eobard isnt even mentioned. Not on the obsessed nomination or even on the dead list. Blergh.
