Good Night, Gotham

So I think anyone that’s been following this blog has known this was coming for a while. The multi-blog au fell apart (though I won’t deny I’ve made some of my greatest friends through it) and I just… stopped posting here. Maybe the occasional post every now and then but it’s been four months since my last one.

When I made this blog, I was nineteen and sitting alone in my uni dorm because my ‘friends’ had all gone out without me. I’d been thinking about it for a while but I guess the rampant loneliness was enough for me to take the plunge and make GrowingUpGotham; a chance just to throw a bit of silliness into the world. I never even intended for this to be a Jason Todd blog. Just an anonymous Gothamite until someone made a joke and it just spiralled into… this.

I don’t regret a second of the time I put into this blog or with the people I met through it. To quote Dickens; it was the best of times, it was the worst of times. The good times were great and the bad times were bad. But it is what it is. Honestly I grew a lot because of this blog - I started to realise people may actually like me and I was able to blossom. I’ve spread out more into other fandoms, made effort to make friends and just… be more me because the almost 2k of you that follow this blog proved that people do find me funny. People do like the ideas constantly rotating around my head.

In all honesty, I could have probably just left this blog dead but for me personally, I needed something finite; some sort of conclusion to this so that it wasn’t constantly hanging over me as a ‘what if’. Maybe one day I’ll come vs k but for now… For now, Jason Todd-Harper is a closed door for me. Perhaps they lived a quiet life with their husband, toad, and dog. Perhaps they continued to get into pure chaos. Perhaps they left Gotham all together.

But for now? Show’s over. That’s all he wrote!

If, for whatever reason, you want to keep up with me outside of this and see the things I’m up to now; my main blog is @delilah-briarwood . The fandoms I post for are a bit of a revolving door but a bit of the Batfamily always seems to sneak their way in there. My AO3 is DesertLily if you want to see the fics I wrote for this AU, or just my writing in general.

Whether you followed me from the very start or found me after this blog had started to wind down, thank you. I hope you had one hell of a ride because trust me, I certainly did.

So for now, this is me - Joey - signing off.

Good night, Gotham, and thank you for the good times

Gotham New Year celebrations are just ‘Are my neighbours celebrating the New Year for three nights straight with fireworks or are the loud bangs just a result of having an apartment in Crime Alley?”

It’s a lovely day in Gotham and you are a ‘morally dubious’ vigilante

Return of the King

Personally more of a Two Towers fan. Everyone appreciates the start and the ending, but no one seems to love the middle.

I’m not encouraging villainy or crime but any means, but I have some respect for the endless amount of Gotham villains that have their own themes but just all stay in their lanes about it. Il even more surprised they haven’t run out of aesthetics yet.

Are you and Bruce on good terms now?

We’re on Terms. I’m by no means his biggest fan but… family’s family and I could probably do worse.

If I had a nickel for every time I've been taken hostage during a date Condiment King was on with Calendar Man...

I'd have two nickels

Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?

Like, they can do like normal people and go to a restaurant, me and my cousin have seen it happen.

It’s Gotham. I’m pretty sure that counts for as much of a normal date night as dinner and a movie does.

Growing up Gotham:

When Superman worries something is wrong with you when he mentions the Joker just broke out and you call it a casual Tuesday because Batman is currently assisting an alien threat…

#onlyinGotham

I’m not saying security is bad but the ‘days since Arkham break out’ chalkboard rarely goes past seven.

Bruce Wayne is a protein shake fiend

I no longer live at the Manor and I doubt Alfred would let him but I am always pro slander so

[growingupgotham]

The great thing about the view from any window in Gotham is that the view is always changing! Unrelated but maybe there should be a city wide ban on explosives considering ‘Arkham’ and ‘good security’ should never be put in the same sentence.

Jason. Show me where Bruce hid the coffee machine and I'll help you out on that prank you asked me to last Thursday. -Tim

Mmmmmmmmmmm. What if I didn’t tho? But I will give you free reign to my energy drink hoard if you agree to dogsit.

I refuse to accept the concept that there is a single living breathing CisHet in Gotham

People always talk about how ‘rewarding’ it is to be an older sibling! Yet they never mention the possibility of your brother spending months sleeping on your sofa!

Anyways, I’m giving Tim away to a good home. Please feed him twice a day and reward him with energy drinks if he’s good!

Jason I know that laws are a social construct to you but PLEASE don't fuck up the batmobile again. -Dick

But I’m DEAD set on doing it now. Have you seen how bland the plain black looks?? I’m practically doing Batman a favour!
