DC x DP fanfic Idea: Gotham Gossip

Meta-human rights are a touchy topic in Gotham. While the city is known for Batman's view on them, it's also known for Bruce Wayne's viewpoint.

The Dark Knight did not welcome Metas, while the Light Knight worked tirelessly to employ charities and programs to support Metas. Both men- if Batman was a man- influenced Gotham so intensely that their viewpoints became the face of the public.

Even people outside of Gothman learned what "Are you a Dark pawn or a Light pawn?" meant when it was spoken about during national debates.

Really, it was no surprise that Batman and Wayne got caught up in a rather explosive public argument over the subject. Or rather, Wayne yelled at Batman during a hostage situation when his party boat got taken by a group of masked men.

Thankfully, Batman was able to save everyone on board, and although he didn't stick around to argue with Wayne, it was noted that Batman seemed intrigued by a few of Wayne's passionate rants. A few reporters were excited to point out there may be a chance of growth within the vigilante, but it was overshadowed by gossip rags that used this incident to make up a wild rumor of Wayne being a bitter ex with Batman.

This rumor runs for months, with various people posting online proof of a relationship. It sparks debate and anger, with other people responding by fact-checking and countering the "proof." Eventually, the argument moves away from Meta-human rights and falls into celebrity gossip, which has Wayne steaming.

People ignore his passionate activism to better the lives of Metas, only watching his speeches, marches, protests, and donations to various charities to gain new proof of his nonexistent romance that may or may have been in his early twenties when he mysteriously vanished to see the world.

That's when the video comes out.

A young teenager wrote a song parody of what was happening. A soft acoustic guitar accompanied his short words, accusing the masses of caring more about a wealthy man's pants being on or not than the lives of his people.

This young teenager is Danny Fenton, a known meta from a small town in Illinois. This quickly turned into people attacking the boy, who released another song using the hateful comments as new lyrics.

Wayne reposts one of his sons, claiming it a masterpiece, which is when one fan notices the similarities between the two. She makes a post talking about how Wayne and Fenton could be father and son as a joke, expecting people to take it seriously.

Overnight, the internet finds out that Fenton was, in fact, adopted into his current family after being surrendered at a fire station anonymously. More and more people started to notice the similar features between the rich man and the small-town singer until a video of Fenton using his powers was leaked.

Fenton's power is invisibility. This resembles another well-known Gotham dweller who can appear and disappear through the city's shadows. It's not long before Fenton is being called the love child of Batman and Wayne.

It leads to so much media attention and harassment aimed towards Fenton that Wayne steps in. He offers to take a paternity test to finally put the rumors to rest and let the young boy vanish from the limelight (should he stop writing songs).

The only problem?

The test is positive. Wayne is Fenton's biological son. The whole nation loses their minds when it's leaked by a very regrettable intern at the clinic where the test was done. (To be fair, the intern's email was hacked, so when she scanned the papers for herself, they were able to steal them)

Worse, Joker thinks it would be hilarious to kidnap Wayne's newly discovered son and, on live TV, give him another paternity test against Batman. The clown is laughing hysterically while his men prepare the results, only to become more gleeful when it's a match again.

Fenton is the son of both the Dark Knight and the Light Knight. It matters little that Batman's DNA is slightly messed up, as various people already suspected him of not being human.

This just proves Fenton is not a meta-human but rather half-human and whatever the hell Batman is. Joker is having a ball reading out the results, proclaiming he would help Fenton meet his biological grandparents with his one guarantee.

His words are cut off when Fetnon- unknown to the viewing public- escapes his bonds and swings an axe from the emergency fire station inside the aged wearhouse at Joker's neck. The clown collapses to the ground dead, the boy bathed in his blood, and the half-finished joke is cut off by the sound of choking blood etching across every screen in Gotham.

The remaining goons and Fenton stare at each other in stun silence while one is brave enough to rasp. "But Batman doesn't kill."

"Do I look like my absent father to you? Besides, Joker venom is a war crime. I'm within my rights, and if I'm not, I would have killed him again anyway."

Fenton quickly outshines his fathers in the public's eye because no matter where one stood on the Meta Rights, everyone stood on the "Kill the Joker" debate.

now i so wanna see how many human celebrity groups ax thinks are just one celebrity + ppl in the future's reactions to that lol

Actual conversation I had yesterday:

Me: Franz Ferdinand sings this ["Take Me Out."]

My dad: He does?

Me: They, yeah.

My mom: Their pronouns are they/them?

Me: No, as in it's a band, not a person. One whose members' pronouns I don't know.

Anyway. Now I want Ax to think that Hansen, Blondie, and every other musical group is exactly one genderqueer singer. Bonus points for him assuming "band" is a human gender.

Checking Momo stuff for a reply, I wondered if his paralogue had any lolcalised stuff :

The JP text is more explicit, Momo struggles with his "urges" to slaughter instead of the very sad "he suffered for his muderous past :'("

Billy's line in the localised script can be interpreted as them being glad they put an end to Momo's suffering, aka giving him a mercy kill, but in the JP!version it's inferred that the "ended it" doesn't mean Momo's life, but his urges - like "I'm glad we kille him so he won't struggle with his urges to slaughter people", but I'm still pissed it's seen as something good for Momo, and not, you know, good so no one else will die because a maniac killer was roaming in this forest.

Now comes the pot of tea :

We still have this shit "blood of the beast no longer I now become human".

Fittingly for a paralogue native to Fraud's route, the difference between "beast and human" isn't spelled out, because you can drink a cup of tea while agreeing that Rhea is a cruel beast, but Maurice finally returned to being a "human", aka not a black beast on death, so Marianne isn't "beast blooded".

Which is even more hilarious when you consider what her crest is - yes Mary-Ann, you are "beast" blooded, rather "Nabatean" blooded even if Momo was/is/returned to his human form. And the verse dgaf about, idk, Poppy*, the Nabatean who was slaughtered by Maurice/used by Maurice to get his super-powers.

Less hilarious is the implication - in the jp text when the loc just went with a general sobfest for Momo's backstory - that Momo was struggling with his urges to slaughter...

When Nopes (sure it's a later thing, so it might count as a retcon?) reveals Momo was already slaughtering people right and left (and even potentially his own allies!), even back as a human!

So, when in his paralogue Momo goes :

My beastly blood is roused... You will not be able to stop me!

Is he actually "blaming" his urges to slaughter on his "beastly blood", aka, on Poppy??? Like, it's the Nabatean's fault if he wants to slaughter? Was he pulling the same shit back then during the WoH "oh noes, if I slaughter my allies and plant wild oats, it's not because of me being an asshole, but's the fault of that weird beast whose blood I drank!"

But hey, it's peak Fodlan writing, aka, victim blaming at its finest, and no one calling it BS.

*if the game won't give names to the Nabateans who became relics, I'll have to come up with something to talk about them lol

okay, but who would be the most EMOTIONALLY devastating family members to be controllers? (I feel Jordan could ruin Rachel in a way Naomi wouldn't)

Look, this might just be a result of me growing up in a very close family, but. The whole idea of choosing a parent or sibling whom you would most vs. least mind getting kidnapped and enslaved feels nonsensical to me.

It'd be like asking if I'd prefer to have my right leg or my left amputated. If I try really hard I can come up with reasoning (if I lose the left then I don't have to relearn to drive? if I lose the right then using a cane left-handed might be easier?). But the truth is that those details mean basically nothing; my overwhelming opinion is NEITHER. I DON'T WANT TO LOSE A LEG. The right-left distinction is such a minor one in the face of a life-changing injury that, given infinite time to research, I probably couldn't come up with a choice much better than a coin flip.

Rachel fights with her mom plenty. She fights with Jordan plenty. But, like, the idea she wouldn't be emotionally ruined by her mom getting kidnapped and forced to abuse her and her sisters? Doesn't ring true to me.

When the Armorer isn’t home, Axe and Ragnar definitely do not make goofy videos at the forge. And they definitely do not make makeshift drumkits out of whatever tools are lying around.

I've made a post on Reddit but I think I'll ask here too!

I'm worried about being plural/having undiagnosed DID/OSDD more info below

Recently I've been distressed because lately I've been hearing a second person's thoughts in my head, basically.

He named himself Frankie and we had a whole argument about wether or not he was real, because I was calling him just my own thoughts rebelling against me.

This is the first time I've heard a "voice in my head". I've experienced auditory hallucinations before, but none of them were this consistent, and this isn't auditory. It's like my inner voice, but it sounds different and isn't in my control.

I've been experiencing small hallucinations for most of my life, and I've been calling him "the man". He's a shadowy humanoid figure that only appears in dark areas, and he'll go away if I look at him directly, but strangely he's different then shadow people, because I can keep him in my peripheral. He's only appeared to me visually once since I started taking an anxiety medication a few months ago.

When I can't see him, I can feel his presence. Often times when I'm alone I can feel him standing behind me, or watching me sleep. Despite not having seen him in a while, I still feel him there often.

Other experiences I've had with this hallucination are: footsteps approaching me, saying "hey" two times in the past, grabbing my arm, touching my hair, reaching towards me to grab me

When I started to hear the voice in my thoughts, I immediately believed it to be him, and he hasn't corrected me on it. The only thing he's asked is that I call him Frankie instead of "the man"

It's hard to distinguish his thoughts from mine sometimes, but I've only started hearing him a few days ago. He's been very frustrated with me.

I was wondering if this could be something related to OSDD, because I certainly have a dissociative disorder of some kind. I dissocisate VERY often, to the point I'm on autopilot most of the time at work. I don't experience many gaps in memory that I've noticed af least, and my family and friends have all agreed they haven't noticed a second personality, but I'm still concerned.

Back in 2018-2019 when my life was going through really big stressful changes, I dissociated so often I felt like I was possessed, even to the point of believing in ghosts. I know I have dissociative amnesia of that time, but my mom and sisters do as well, so I never really thought anything of it.

I have had a lot of trauma in the past that I'm only now starting to unpack in therapy, and I'm certainly going to talk to my therapist about the possibility of having an undiagnosed identity disorder, but I can't do that for a few weeks.

I feel crazy and stupid treating Frankie like he's real, but I also don't know if there's a possibility that he IS real and a part of me. Especially because for the past few years I've felt pretty confident about being a singlet, even if I questioned being plural in the past.
