#I bet there's not a lot of cars in Gotham but public transportation is a big thing

 *Vibrating*

So with Jarro (Legally “Jarrod” but no one bats an eye at the nickname, it’s Gotham) I was thinking like, what if the curse took an opposite effect-but-not? Like he goes from psychic starfish that can shift and change his size to similar to some sort of unholy starfish merfolk-taur thing? Like if the others look like uncanny valley eldritch things to atlanteans, then he looks like the deep sea edition. (Like Mandella Catalog Alternate vibes almost. No mouth on the face- a single eye but not in the center of the face, twitching/twisting in ways bones shouldn’t move, etc) 

 Honestly Damian being humane with any meat he has to eat for obligatory carnivore reasons is definitely right. Might even just stick to blood if he can. (Though obligatory carnivores for all of Gotham is… interesting, especially for the vibes they give off) 

 PFFT, real conversation Bruce had with Ollie some time after he learned he was cursed: “You know, you have like, perfectly mirrored freckles Bruce, you draw them on or something, lol” “...Those aren’t freckles Ollie, those are my electroreceptors. They don’t go away.” “Your. What-” 

LMAO Not Bruce putting Aquaman’s villain brother in one of the Batcave Aquariums! Probably half for kids’ terrorizing reasons and half because Gotham Water is Poisonous and Deadly as fuck if you aren’t used to it. Also, hilarious image of Bruce handing him over like a scruffed cat and it’s not until later the people who witness this realize he carried a grown ass atlantean with one hand. (He works out not for vigilante work, but so he can always carry his babies. All of them. At once. Even 200+lb Jason.) 

 Kate is canonically a lesbian, which good for her! Honestly I agree with most of those lol. 

If Bruce isn’t wearing a domino under his cowl just to cause psychic damage at those who thought they were going to see his face, he’d be missing out. He’s hiding his tiny smirk at GL and Flash’s exasperated shouting before it goes silent when he takes off the shirt. 

 Someone asking Bruce how many kids he has: Bruce, counting on his fingers and quickly running out: “Well there’s Dick of course, my eldest. There’s my twins Cass and Jason, Cass is older, she wants everyone to know. Stephanie and Tim who I am co-parenting with their respective parents with. Duke whose paperwork went through just this last week.” (“Um, do I count Barbara? Not like legally or anything but she spends the weeks the Commissioner is working at the Manor and I have a college fund for her and-”) "My two current foster kids Harper and Cullen. Oh and Carrie who we're still working on the paperwork for!" “Damian, who was my youngest for a while. Helena of course, she’s growing so big and strong. Alina, who I recently found out about, she’s so cute! Jarro, everyone knows him, he was the next youngest- I also have Terry and Matt now! They’re so small, I love them so much! And well, we don’t know the new baby’s gender yet, it’s going to be a surprise!” “So that’s… 17 or 18? Who knows, I might find another surprise baby haha-” 

 Oh my you’re so right about breastmilk (& probably the local formula) being different. I bet Terry & Matt are like, immuno-compromised almost. Like needs the Gotham vaccines stat because they didn’t get it naturally. Oh the poor Suicide Squad team lmao. There’s a giant eldritch sea abomination tilting the entire boat, it’s raining, the waters are choppy as fuck, it’s dark but they can see flashes of glow below the water from more creatures- And here comes Harley Quinn calm as can be walking across the deck (And is it just them or is she looking… Other as the water trails down her skin and hair) with the pair of infants. This girl went to school with Bruce- she’s seen his embarrassing baby photos and pictures of when he was a kid from going over to the manor! She’s his kids’ aunt Harley once she’s gotten (to Gotham’s standard at least) sane and healthy! She has seen Damian’s baby photos, and constantly visits tiny baby Helena! If these aren’t Bruce’s she’d eat her mallet! And you know like, someone tries to stop her, only to get launched into the water themself (Oh my god I bet this was a Harley rescue mission before they started hearing the crying pups) by an agitated Bat. Wheeze, Harley the moment Tim or Barbara or whoever informs her they’ve disabled the bomb in her neck/head just gives a salute & flops backwards into the water lmao. 

Bruce has so many bandages on his hands from holding the hungry babies and carrying them back to the Bat Tunnels lol. His teammates are definitely concerned when he comes in for the next meeting with those & he just tells them it’s not important. They are oblivious to the many, many chunks taken out from his arms. 

I am once more thinking about foods in Gotham. Blame being hungry and not being allowed to eat before a blood draw lol. Specifically thinking of like, there’s definitely like kids meals and such in restaurants that are an, ease your way into poison sort of thing. Stuff that might cause a bit of tingling or similar but isn’t truly like, deadly if a pup doesn’t have the poison tolerance yet. Or they might just find some poisons not to their liking. But oh my god, ice cream flavors in Gotham. (Freeze has an ice cream brand that everyone knows he uses to help fund his research, it’s another Open Secret in Gotham) You have your usual ones and your tea ones, but then you have the weird ones. There’s normal weird like Balsamic Strawberry or Lavender Ube or Cereal Milk (practically kept afloat as a flavor by Dick’s cereal addiction alone lol) but then there’s the Gotham flavors. Sweet Lobster, with varying types of poisonous berry swirls, Belladona’s Dream, nightshade ice cream of multiple nightshade plants & a dash of honey, Rosewater Hemlock, etc Not to mention! Places like Batburger that have Bat & Rogue themed foods. Now that is the shit that gets crazy. Like the Waffle Place that Spoiler adores and where you can ask to put older versions of stuff like Fear Gas that people have built up tolerance for in your Scarecrow chicken waffle. 

 Oh my gosh the reverse-drowning situation yeassss! It’s almost like Gotham has sunk Its claws into each who have offered themselves up in calling it home, a way to always drag them back. Because you don’t leave your home behind, do you? You may go out, but you always return to it. Magic users can tell the Bats are cursed, but hey everyone has known Gotham is cursed for years. (If they had actually investigated they’d have been horrified and fascinated how much a new curse melded with the ancient ones, shifting the entire city in a way that shouldn’t be possible yet has happened anyway) 

@puppetmaster13u

It was getting too long so...

Okay this was VERY long but I love it all. So much food, and very much alive when possible. And yeah they're very much venomous.

... oh gods you're making me hungry for food that isn't even safe even if it existed 😂

Also, I feel like Ivy's plants would, ah, sometimes move if they don't like where they're currently planted. If your neighbor is taking better care of your flowers then you might wake up and see them over there, you just learn to deal. 😅

Ooooo I love that. And I feel like, to Aquaman, it would be like speaking in Pig Latin + Esperanto mixed with the heaviest Scottish accent ever. He can tell it's words, but he can't really understand it.

Also, Bruce singing lullabies to the kids, just imagine. Jason or Dick or anyone shows up having a panic attack and Bruce starts calming them down. First in English, then aquatic, and slowly morphing into a lullaby.

Oh definitely, those other heroes will be struggling. Almost feel bad for them.

The medical professionals must be paid well, and Gotham University probably ends up with a very heavy metal degree that most people might assume is for vets not human doctors. 😂

Oh my gods Helena yes. Poor Supes, and I love the JL freaking out. Also, her bottle HAS to be a little pink, because of the blood that's probably in it. Also, I imagine they're born with weak venom, and drinking their parents' blood lets them process and produce stronger toxins.

I bet Dick and the other kids probably have the same weird food habits and their teammates aren't really sure what they're supposed to do. Sometimes Tim will fall asleep in the middle of lunch and whoever is in the same room will get to see his lunch run away. Probably a bit unnerving. 🤣

I like the idea they might do them for 'major holidays'. Not on the holiday, because Calendar Man (on the holidays is Gotham only, they fully expect him to show up, he's practically invited without saying anything outright), and that's the Outsider Galas. Not just one a year, but not like 20 of em either.

And yeah, aside from runaway food, Tim is pretty good with outsiders. He probably wouldn't eat 'normal' (normal for Gotham anyway) around his team if he didn't trust em or something either. This is probably another reason Bruce made him CEO. 😅

Yesss uncanny valley please. Everyone is freaking out internally, and yet at the same time they can tell they're safe... for now. Servers doing their job, and Gothamites not revealing anything, unless someone does something wrong.

Yesss the rogues. Honestly I just want an AU where the rogues are basically family.

||=====||=====||

"Oh yeah that's aunts Harley and Ivy, they can be fun but don't drink the wine."

Then (controversial I know but also heavily depends on the AU)

"That's Uncle J, we're on tense terms with him but he's got the best drinks if you don't mind letting a bit."

Maybe

"There's not-dad Harv-"

"he's Uncle T right now-"

"-that's Uncle T, don't gamble with him or ask about his coin collection unless you want to stay a while."

Or

"Don't mind Uncle Cobbles, he's a little competitive with B about their family histories, but other than that and birds he's pretty calm."

Even

"Yeah don't mind Uncle John, he's probably more nervous than you are, doing spook him and you'll be fine."

||=====||=====||

Yesss so many photos.

Also, there's two wedding photos. One he shows to outsiders, the other is up at the major as a painting and is the same wedding photo but underwater.

... Ras don't bother your son-in-law's friends please, they have enough on their plate. Seriously, stop. 😂😅

Bruce probably confuses everyone even more by knowing the assassins.

Oooo yes. Sharks, aquariums, oh my. I love all the animals you mentioned too.

... so I randomly looked up 'Victorian modern punk' because why not and...

This was the top result.
