Girl scout cookie season has to be fucking hell in Gotham
Like, okay so I don't actually know anything about girl scouts, but it has to be intense right? Every girl scout in the city has to know that Bruce Wayne is a soft touch and will buy out your entire stock if you just look at him with even a hint of a sad frown. Which means outside of Wayne Enterprises and Wayne Manor is prime real estate, the kind of hot spots that scouts and their parents are willing to go to war for. Like, full on street brawls breaking out between these little girls and their rival troops over common Bruce Wayne locations.
And it's *Gotham* so you know there are like, Gotham Specific badges for things like "Improvised Weaponry" and "Urban War Tactics" I bet there are badges for helping people during Rogue attacks, with like a badge for each specific Rogue and a badge you get if you've earned all the others.
Just. Gotham Girl Scouts have to be scarier than any Marine, and are probably on so many watch lists, both ad potential heroes and villains.
I love gay people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway I've been watching a shit ton of gotham, sooooo, as the self shipper I am, i drew my oc and edward cause I love him sm <3
also oswald is there too i guess
living in gotham is like. you are going to be consumed. you are going to see your worst fears in horrific visions. these visions will be provided by someone who doesn’t even know your name. someone is going to shoot you. you are going to laugh and you will not want to. you are going to kill someone. whether or not your house gets blown up will be decided by a coin flip. someone put acid in the water. you are going to be in a hostage situation. a fucking furry is going to be the only reason you survive any of this
Tell me I’m wrong
Gotham is like Australia. It’s so isolated, it just evolved into the most insane and batty (ha) environment.
Not that the other cities aren’t crazy either. Star City is just as bad as Gotham, just in a different way. LA versus New York. Sometimes Central City gives off Florida vibes.
Metropolis is Area 51 if Elon Musk camped there.
Lex Luther = Elon Musk in this situation.
love the idea of Batman struggling with Gotham because it’s so crime ridden, cursed, etc but when he liaises in another city it takes all of two seconds for him to arrest a drug ring, topple a corrupt city government, and put upwards of 25 people in prison without breaking a sweat.

Gotham Central - Cast
A Batman movie that is about the Gotham Police Department and what it’s like to be a cop in a city full of Super-Villains. The main plot will revolve around Commissioner Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock investigating a series of children commiting crimes. This all happens around the time that Jim´s estranged son, James Gordon Jr, returns to Gotham. It is revealed that James Gordon Jr has had a life of mental illness, as he was traumatized while still newborn, and wound up becoming a clinical psychopath. He has been taking an experimental medication that seems to be working, but is it? It is revealed that James Gordon Jr has actually modified his medication so it suppresses empathy and makes him more psychotic, as the medication was making him depressed because he was actually feeling remorse for what he did. He has also formed a cult of psychopathic children, whom he wants to show his ways of living.
My Redesign Of Catwoman: The Princess Of Plunder
My boss asked me why Red Hood stopped by today, and I didn’t know how to explain without basically asking to be arrested, so Red Hood, if you get a card saying “I’m sorry for your loss” don’t question it there’s an edible arrangements gift card in there
So, I made a bird feeder out of a milk carton (very easy, worth the google, will post instructions if wanted) and was hanging it up in Gotham Central Park. While filling it up with bird seed, I got approached by one arctic bird named crime lord. At first, I got a little worried, for obvious reasons, but then he asked me about it. And of course ADHD/Autism brain went “fuck yeah special interest time!” And I wound up sort of rambling about bird feeders made from recycled materials, native bird diets, and the birds themselves. When I realized that I had been rambling, I got HELLA embarrassed, as I usually get negative reactions for it. But he just? Started talking to me about birds? And at some point the fucking SCARECROW showed up, along with riddler? And we all just sat and talked about birds? And it was probably one of the BEST conversations I’ve ever had, because almost NOBODY EVER wants to talk or hear about my special interests, and it was just, fuckin amazing.
conversation I had the blessing of hearing
Penguin: I’m sorry I don’t take advice from a madman.
Hatter: we’ll I don’t take criticism from whores!
Penguin: >:O
Riddler: says the whore.
Hatter: >:0
Scarecrow: takes one to know one.
Riddler: >:0
Joker: the slut energy in this room is immaculate.
Fish: listen son, in this world, there’s the sluts and the losers. Go whore or go home.
Oswald: go whore.
Fish: correct bitch.
Only in Gotham does Bane escort you and your friends to school when the bus can’t be bothered to show up
Okay, so Jason’s alive, right? Duh. Dug himself out of his grave, yada, yada, yada…
But…what about his grave?
Like, it still has to be there right? To the public, Jason’s still dead, so it would be extremely suspicious if word got out that Bruce Wayne had removed his beloved late son’s grave. Total front-page-worthy scandal.
What I’m saying is: Jason Todd absolutely has a photo of himself posing in front of his own grave, Grant-Gustin-style.
It’s framed.
A Cold Night In Gotham
One shot: Could you do a one shot, Where when Bruce first sees you he’s Batman, and then he sees you working for him at one of his party’s, he can’t keep his eyes off of you and you feel him looking so you turn and look at him, He gets up and asks you to dance? Announcements: Hope you enjoy! Warnings: None It was a cold night in Gotham, not unusual, but still unpleasant. Currently you were walking home from your job- sorry, ex job, in the middle of the night. You knew it was stupid, being out this late at night by yourself, but your ride never showed up so you didn’t really have any other choice. You stuffed your frigid fingers into your pockets and made your way across the street, trying to stay in the better lit parts of the sidewalk. All of a sudden, it started raining down on you in sheets. You were about to groan in protest to the weather when a sweaty palm clamped over your mouth and pulled you back into a darkened ally. “Scream, and I’ll kill ya, got it! You got that!”
You nodded in reply, trying to fight back the tears that were threatening to come spilling out at any moment. Whirling around you were met face to face with a skinny man, and looking down you caught the flash of silver that signaled he had a gun.
“Give me all you got! But you make a single move I swear I won’t think twice about blowin’ your face all over the ally walls, now hurry up!”
You moved slowly and managed to grab your wallet. It didn’t have much but you weren’t about to argue with the guy. It didn’t make you feel any better that he was possible shaking just as bad as you were, remember kids, shaking hands can get people killed! You reached out your wallet to the skinny man, but your hands were shaking so badly that you dropped it.
You held your breath and looked at him, “Well come on,” he said, “Get it! And be quick about it.”
Slowly crouching down you let yourself break eye-contact for a moment and searched for the wallet. All of a sudden, the man yelped and a second later his gun went off, echoing off of the walls of the ally. You shut your eyes and shied away from the loud sound, falling on your butt and trying to scoot away in the process.
After a few moments, you opened your eyes and looked up, containing the small gasp that tried to escape from your lips. A figure in all black with what looked like horns on his head stood not even five feet away from you, tossing away the skinny man’s gun as he dropped to the cold, wet ground.
Scrambling back to your feet you looked at the figure, “Wh- who are you?”
He half turned towards you, “I’m the Batman,” and with that, he took something from off of his belt and soared up and back into the night.
You stared, shocked at the place where he had been, and then looked up after him, “Thank you!” you yelled over the roar of rain, and started back on your way home.

A few weeks passed, and eventually your friend hooked you up with another job, this time it was working as a server for one of the rich guys in Gotham, Wayne was his name. It took quite a while to get the job though, you had to go through about a hundred background checks before you were even interviewed, but that was ok, it paid pretty well which was good enough for you. Tonight was your first actual major party, well, charity ball that you had worked at yet, which excited you. You shook out your shoulders, straightened your clothes, carefully grabbed a platter with multiple glasses of champagne, and walked out of the kitchen doors and into the quieter atmosphere of the party.
You walked around for a bit, handing out glasses, taking away the old ones. To be honest it was kind of boring, just standing there, smiling like a robot to every guest who bothered themselves to look in your direction, it was getting kind of difficult to suppress your yawns. Soon though, you started to feel uneasy, like you were being watched. Carefully you began to swivel your head, looking around the large room for the source of the feeling, finding nothing you shook your head. You were just being silly, you thought, nothing is happening and no one is staring. You smiled slightly, you’re just being paranoid, turning around you almost spilt the tray onto someone that was standing right behind you.
“Oh!” you said, managing to gain control of the drinks, “I’m sorry sir, I didn’t see you there… Mr. Wayne! I’m so sorry.”
Bruce Wayne, your boss, stood behind you, smiling, “It’s ok, don’t worry about it. What’s your name?”
“Y/N,” you replied
“Well, Y/N, I was wondering if you would like to dance?”
You stared at him, “That would be lovely, but I am still working.”
He looked around, “Well, I know the boss, and I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t mind. Especially for someone as beautiful as you.”
Your cheeks flushed bright pink, was he actually serious? “O-ok, I guess. Thank you.”
You set down the tray of drinks and followed Wayne out onto the little area where people were dancing gracefully to the song.
“I must warn you,” You began, “I have no idea how to dance.”
He chuckled, “Don’t worry, just follow my lead.”
It took you a moment, but then there you were, spinning gracefully around the dance floor in your not-so-expensive servers outfit with none other than Bruce Wayne, the billionaire. You couldn’t really see but you thought that everyone was staring at the two of you. To be honest you were kind of warming up to the guy, it’s like you’ve met him before.
Just another cold night in Gotham? Yeah, right.
I swear, this man is an eldrich being of some description.
he is NOT beating the eldritch accusations whatsoever
I keep seeing posts about Bruce and Batman being connected to Gotham in an almost arcane Eldrich way and I am here for it!!!
I like this idea that Bruce doesn’t even notice, not really. Like he’s human but sometimes he just syncs with his city so well that he just embodies Gotham.
Gotham is alive in a way that no other city is, not thinking or speaking, but feeling and moving. Bending around itself with narrow alleyways and barely lit streets. It almost breathes.
He drifts off into the streetlights and gargoyles and fades away becoming part of the city, like any other fixture.
And he doesn’t really notice, because this is just his every day.
I’ve been working on a fic lately that has very quickly become much more Martin-centric than I had at first anticipated. He really is a fascinating character. He’s both the innocent child who showcases the kinder side of the King of Gotham’s dark heart, and a mysterious potential future supervillain. I love thinking about just who he’ll wind up becoming in the future... And, though I’m sad Gotham never showed us what he grew up to be, I love how open to speculation he is as a character.
Also, I love that book dedication :)
Martin Cobblepot - The Emperor’s Chick
“Did you know that male emperor penguins keep their eggs warm by balancing on their feet?… Pretty neat.”
And I think I’ll close out my pre-finale blast with this sweet one of Os and Ed holding Barbara’s baby. They’re going to be the best babysitters! Hehe :)
Also I really like this art style. There are so many great Nygmobblepot artists!
They may be villains, but they’re polite. Polite in a ‘general threatening gesture with a firearm’ sort of way, haha. Oswald is a good evil boi.
This scene was so funny, though :)
even in gotham you don’t point guns at babies
They’re so cute and so fluffy :) And the colors are so bright and also did I mention how cute this is? I love it! <3
For @lordazazel23 !
I love your pencil sketch style and especially the nygmobblepot sketches! 💚💜 These two (x | x) make me always laugh so hard! 🤣
You are an amazing artist! 😉👍

Aaaah the feeeeeels, the beautiful, complicated feels.
Looking forward to these two living happily ever after and occasionally making empty murder threats against one another whilst being clearly in love...
You paid Hugo Strange to save me? Why? What was I supposed to do? Let you die?
This is the actual definition of dapper. Nygmobblepot is quite possibly the best dressed ship I ship--I mean, like, Rumbelle have their moments, but Os and Ed are constantly in swag suits. Early season Ed wasn’t there yet, and that one suit Oswald wore at the start of season 4 was terrifically ugly imo, but other than that, they have flawless villain swaaag.
Also, is this photoshop, or just hyperrealistic drawing? Either way it’s really well-done, very smooth, and it looks just like them.
Let us have a happy Nygmobblepot!
