Okay I just found out about your g!bruce meets the batfam AU and I LOVE IT SO MUCH - have only gone through the tumblr posts but I have the fic on my list to read. Wondering how you think of Jason's resurrection and Barbara's paralyzation working in a post-Gotham world? (Not specifically related to your AU sking you because you also seem really excited about these two worlds clashing!)

Because the way I see it, Hugo Strange was a well known factor and his resurrections don't appear to have any side effects. So why didn't Bruce try to get Jason resurrected, even if it meant working with an enemy?

Barbara's paralyzation pretty much happened exactly like Selina's did - so would Bruce not only be beating himself up, but also be able to approach Ivy for help? Or at least wouldn't Selina or Barbara Kean do it?

thank you so much!! i'm glad that you like the au even without all the material that goes around it! the au actually started out on tumblr in a few different textposts before i decided that i might as well just write it atp.

okay okay, jason's death and barbara's paralyzation.

jason first.

imo, if bruce ever comes face to face with hugo strange again, there won't even be words involved, that man is getting the beat down of his life. batman will MAKE IT so that that man stays in jail, if even only because he would be beat half to death again if he was let out.

hugo strange ordered the hit on bruce's parents, after all, and while bruce is opposed to murder, he is not, as we have seen, opposed to beating the stuffing out of someone repeatedly.

i also feel like that one girl who was introduced to the show really had more of an impact on bruce than is explored, because the show set them up almost like siblings. the girl, karen jennings i think? yeah, she was really close with thomas wayne before his death and he came to visit her often. he was involved in keeping her safe from the people at indian hollow (who moved there after pinewood was shut down).

karen suffered IMMENSELY under the hand of hugo strange, and during her short stay on the show, she and bruce got very close and developed what i personally see as an early sibling bond (and another example of bruce latching onto people and becoming emotionally involved way too quick, like, as a pattern).

anyway, hugo strange's mechanisms eventually end up getting karen brutally murdered right in front of bruce, so i feel like that could have a major effect on his mind, esp at that age and knowing what he does (or later did? my timeline there is fuzzy) about strange being involved in his parents' death.

because of his personal anger with him, deep-set mistrust of him (he likely heard about how he put a chip in ed's brain after penguin payed him to, essentially, revive him from the dead), and his respect for karen, he wouldn't ever get hugo involved, i believe.

as for barbara's paralyzation, i think that selina's side effects would play a huuuuge role here. in the show, when bruce gets the cure from ivy, she warns that it might have some side effects, and soon after, selina begins exhibiting animalistic and highly emotional traits, such as irrationality, extreme anger, low temper, excessive growling/hissing, etc.

it was during this time that bruce and selina's relationship was coming up on its time for both of them to decide what would happen next. after reunification, what would happen to both of them? would they still be a "they?"

even though both selina (deal with penguin) and bruce (helicopter, but also the interrupted dinner scene) want to leave gotham, either for good (selina) or for an extended period of time (bruce), neither of them are truly 100% involved in the discussion, which leads to communication issues, which is what eventually causes their breakup.

what i was more getting at bruce thinking here, however, i would say that bruce blames himself for getting her involved in the first place (as she literally did blame him, not that i can be mad at her), that she got shot because of him, and that he made the personal choice to force her to live on and feels responsible for taking the cure which gave her so many side effects (which she likes but he hates), bruce ultimately blames himself for their messy breakup and all of the pain that has caused.

which, of course, he hasn't processed at all, so instead he deflects it.

instead, he blames ivy and her weird eyeball-looking plant for taking away his best friend / girlfriend.

i definitely don't think that bruce would trust in ivy enough at this point in the timeline for her to be involved, but that i agree that (other than this) he (i fell asleep right here lol so im back now that it's morning) would totally do everything he possibly could to help barbara.

as for barbara kean---i'm going to be so real with you, i've been specifically not actually watching the series finale so i can stay on-track with bruce's line of thinking, so when i heard she got shot i honestly thought she died. i just checked last night and found out she got shot in the leg. so yeah, she's dead in this au. sorry guys 😭😭😭😭😭

i'm probably gonna go more in depth about this in the story, esp since i already thought she died LOL

so basically i'm giving babs extra childhood trauma (going the jim and bruce route with that), which honestly kinda fits because of the whole generational hero thing that jim and bruce kinda have going on (bruce's and jim's dads, jim passes it on to bruce, bruce passes it on to his kids, they both pass it on to babs).

more on that in the actual story LOL. i never really pictured barbara kean as working in the canon batfam universe anyway (just because penguin kinda has her niche). since in batfam canon it always seemed like she was at least primarily living with her dad, whereas barbara lee from gotham seems to be living primarily with her mom, and the only time i can see this changing is if something happened to her mom.

partially, i also think that babs herself had some sway in the whole not-going-to-ivy thing. barbara isn't a damsel in distress, and she likely wouldn't like bruce overstepping like that and just assuming that she wants to be cured just because selina did (not that she knew about selina being temporarily paralyzed, unless her dad told her). barbara doesn't see herself as any less of a person for her disabilty (which is good of course! though it took a little while for her to get used to everything and truly accept it) so she basically tells bruce to not get involved with any magic stuff for her.

the selina-barbara parallel is kinda crazy tho. i'm definitely gonna have to explore that in my fic (how bruce feels about it, selina, and babs of course).

bruce majorly spiraled after jason's death, so honestly i think that his mindset just wasn't in the best spot and that he wasn't doing okay mentally at all. honestly, he might have gone back to his old alcohol habits from his brucie phase (yes i know in gotham it's spelled brucey but i hate that) like some people headcanon.

basically, i don't really want to change any of the existing batfam canon as much as i can (like retconning barbara to have been cured, idk i just don't like that) and also i feel like bruce would never trust any of those people to be close to any of his loved ones haha.

thank you again so much for the ask!! hopefully this was intelligible, having been written on two different days. thank you so much for your support!! hopefully you like the story when you read it. feel free to send more asks anytime if you want!

Gotham Incorrect Quotes Pt 136

Barbara: *showing off new tattoo*

Ed: Very sexy.

Oswald: Very nice.

Barbara: Yeah. Well, it's sanskrit for "mother" and Babs is gonna get one that says "daughter."

Barbara Lee: Well...

Barbara: Well what?

Barbara Lee: It's just, um, I- I'm not totally sure I'm not bailing?

Barbara: No, no you're not. Barbara Lee, if you don't get "daughter" it's gonna look like I did this for my mother, and then I'm gonna have to saw my leg off.

Lee: Or you could just add to it. Hey, what's sanskrit for "issues?"

Sunday Six

“Would you like to hold her?” he asks candidly.

“N-no,” Jeremiah waves an anxious, dismissive hand, “I couldn’t possibly, I–”

“Don’t be silly, you’ll do fine,” Bruce coaxes, stilling Jeremiah’s arms by pressing baby Barbara into them. His eyes crinkle, a teasing lilt entering his voice as he adds, “I believe in you, Jeremiah.”

Jeremiah lets out a put-upon sigh, rolling his eyes but accepting the baby being passed to him nonetheless.

He peers down into her round, sleepy face, eyes slitted just enough to make clear that they are dark blue in color. The tuft of fuzz sticking out from the blanket is tawny, a mix of dark blonde and auburn.

“Hello, Ms. Gordon,” Jeremiah says in soft tones, attention on Barbara Lee too rapt to catch the equally soft way Bruce is staring at him. “Welcome to Gotham.”

I just remembered that it's kindda implied that Lee's baby in S2 was James Gordon Jr.

And like theorizing Ed's actions towards Jim can be pointed as at least part of the reason that Lee lost the baby... The Riddler is actually the reason why Barbara Lee Gordon won't have to grow up with a psycho murderer brother who may or may not have a crush on her and killed her friends. If we add the fact he knew Barbara Kean was pregnant by looking at her and was there for the birth, Ed DESERVES his place as that kid goodfather. IDC. Jim put his kid's godfather in Arkham. Barbara Lee visited him. Fate just handled him the chance to be called that. None of the parents even wanted him for goodfather they just didn't have a saying on it. Cause my man EARNED his position.

Just saying.

Sunday Six

"Don't project on to me, Babsy -- we're not the same." "Because my family taught me about accountability and consequences?" "Oh Aunt Barb didn't teach you shit -- she skated same as everyone else in your house. Consequences are something that happen to other people, right?" she sneers, bloody fingers move to tear at the top of her bandage, ripping off translucent tape and making the healing skin below puff up, chaffed and red, beads of blood standing out on white skin. "Stop... you don't have to do that! Stop it!"

Dumb idea turn WIP was finally posted lmao XD

Summary (more or less it’s kinda shitty):

Martín finally returned to Gotham only to repeatedly meet two rather careless kids. For enough money who is he to fuss about being a baby sitter?

But the kids have more about them then what meets the eye. Causing more than a few strange and suspicious instances while he’s on missions.

Will Martín figure what’s going on? Will he die due to blood pressure issues given to him by these funky kids? What will become more important to him, the kids safety or his orders?

Find out here, or don’t!

I’ll also being posting the art I’ve done for it here on tumblr and linking it in the notes of the chapters they pertain to. :3

Sunday Six

Evie, Dick, and Barbara Lee sit in the perfect line of chairs in front of the headmaster’s desk, masterfully avoiding looking at each other as well as their respective parents.

“What seems to be the trouble?” Jeremiah asks, adjusting his glasses. “Dick’s school record is exemplary. I can’t imagine he’s to blame, whatever the problem is.”

“Perhaps you have a burgeoning juvenile delinquent developing right under your nose,” Oswald cuts in, shooting Jeremiah a rather vicious side-eye. “He could certainly get it from the extended family.”

Jeremiah tenses, a muscle in his jaw twitching as he purses his lips.

“It’s rather dangerous territory for you to start bringing bad role models into the equation. Don’t you agree, Mr. Cobblepot?”

“Boys, boys,” Barbara says, splaying a perfectly manicured hand on each of their wrists, “let’s all try to play nice, huh? We wouldn’t want to set a bad example for the children, now, would we?”
