Edward Nygma x Oswald Cobblepot x Third Person Potential 😍😜😂

Consider this: another person involved with Edward and Oswald, someone with a crush on both of them, both times requited. It could be utter chaos! 😜

Oswald "life only gives you one true love" Cobblepot, who's already in an exited state because of his crush on Ed, having to question his mother's words.

Meanwhile Edward "I could never love you" Nygma is questioning everything. He loves Oswald, a man! But he likes him just as much as this other person.

If the other person was

a) a man or non-binary, Ed would be in even more denial: yes, he likes Oswald, who isn't a woman, but he also likes this other person who isn't either, and since romantic love is usually only between two people, that must mean that he doesn't really like either of them that way, right?

b) If on the other hand the other person was a woman (I haven't finished the show, but I read some people say that Oswald is/could be bi), Ed would focus on her and inevitably notice the way she looks at Oswald, which just so happens to be similar to the way Ed looks at him.

Upon seeing that Oswald likes her too, Ed being the compulsory heterosexual bi disaster (affectionate) that he is, wouldn't notice that his jealousy goes both ways: being directed at Oswald for having her affection yet also at her for having Oswald's attention.

c) on a third note: They could also just be happy and once they got together I think they'd be unstoppable.

Regardless of who the last person is, these two thrive from being loved by one person alone, make that two people and they're over the moon! 🥰

Let me know your thoughts and feelings 😁😊 Would anyone like a Nygmobblepot x reader fanfic?

One crack ship I have embraced wholeheartedly is Thomas Wayne/Martha Wayne/Alfred Pennyworth. It could be all three together it could be some pining before tragedy. It probably is better for canon if it isn't but I have embraced it.

Gotham City Sirens Christmas

Harley, Ivy, and Selina just hanging out. is there a monogamous explanation? no

[ravenclawshermione]

Chapter 2 of The May Queen's Crown just dropped!

“So Nightwing, is it just me or has Hood been weirdly evasive lately? Or seems like he’s always busy, which is wild because it’s Hood, and I know Arsenal isn’t in town.”

I grinned, remembering our boy’s night, “Oh it’s not just you. And it isn’t Arsenal keeping him busy.”

Calla keyed in immediately, “Wait, is he really seeing someone?”

“He insists that it’s not like that. But considering the fact that ever since the emergency boy’s night about two months ago he’s been completely unavailable most evenings before patrols, and the hundreds of dollars he dropped buying DVDs for this mystery girl, I'm calling bullshit.”

“Oh my god, I can’t believe he didn’t tell me,” she said, amused, “That little punk. I’m glad, though. He deserves some happiness.”

Before I could agree, Babs came in over the comms.

“Oracle calling all hands, we just got a report of a breakout attempt in progress at Arkham,” the modulator couldn’t fully mask the urgency in her voice, “Meeting point Delta Bravo, B is en route now.”

“Delta Bravo?” Calla asked me, looking determined. 

“Rendezvous point just across the bridge to Arkham,” I replied, pulling her close and firing my grappling hook, swinging us through the air, heading towards where our bikes were hidden. 

We dropped to the alley, and she moved the bramble that she’d used to hide the bikes. Her personal ride was a lot nicer than the plain black one she had started using for getting around on patrol nights, but it was also one with a more recognizable paint job. It was one of the drawbacks of our lifestyle, having to worry about being discovered. 

“Any idea who’s involved?” Tim asked.

I could practically feel Cal tense up next to me. With situations like these, standard procedure was to communicate over the open channel. Direct lines still existed, but being able to coordinate as a group was vital. Still, I knew she was only just getting used to the idea of being involved in these Bat-ops. She valued her independence, and she and Bruce didn’t exactly get along.

“Riddler, Penguin, Ivy, and a handful of others,” she answered, “Unclear yet who’s calling the shots, and who’s just taking advantage of the chaos.”

There was a clatter of keys hitting the pavement, and I turned to see Calla standing there, a look of frantic horror on her face. I’d only seen her look like this once, when she’d nearly-

No. I couldn’t think about that right now. 

Right now there were exactly two things that mattered. Making sure Calla was okay, and getting to Arkham as soon as possible.

Ik calling it a night for now, but next time I'm on the sims I'm making Ecco so Jeremiah has someone 🥲

I feel so bad for him cause he's just kinda in the house with us all

He tried to flirt with both Persephone and I, which caused a huge argument. Luckily I (as the player, this was not my sim) diffused the situation and we were all on good terms again in a few minutes.

[savannah-quotes]

We should lie to people to get ahead.

[spirit-fingers22]

This is how it should go. Babs and Kory and Dick are the best of friends and then they decide to get into a polyamorous relationship.

Dick then gets into another one with Wally and Roy

Babs is in one with Kory and Supergirl

And Kory is in one with Roy and Jason

Hello, Barbara! I wanted to ask if it is at all possible to be friends? I know that we have had our... lets say differences but i would like to make some sort of peace

(@princess-koriand-r )

Of course we can be friends! It's so nice to see you again Kory

DP x DC Phantom Punk: We are the Outlaws

Back on my punk Danny AU

So punk is pretty anti-authoritarian, loud, fast, and contains a lot of anger, anger at how the world is. It can also be very compassionate to the downtrodden an those the system fails

You know who else has a lot of anger and compassion?

Jason Todd

Jason Todd, the second Robin, the Red Hood. The man was born to be punk.

Danny just works as a punk. His villains range from the government to a Billionaire to a ghost cop. It makes more sense than not for his experiences to have turned him in that direction, and let's face it one Sam Mason would have helped, even if punk and goth are different

So we have one dead punk boy living in a shitty apartment in Gotham, and we have another dead punk boy moving into a shitty apartment in Gotham

They're neighbors(I'd say roommates for the meme but Jay needs the added privacy)

So now we have two punks with messed up sleep schedules living next door to each other. They clearly vibe, they hang out, go to each other's apartments and Jason practically force feeds Danny a healthy meal that has enough preservatives in it to give Ra's a run for his money

Then Jason got careless

Jason, after accidentally mentioning the outlaws multiple times during a phone call, now has to deal with the fact that Danny thinks it's the band he's in. It's fine, all he has to do is play it cool, roll with it and it'll be no big deal

being unable to shut his mouth, he actually digs himself deeper. Now, Danny doesn't just want to see them play, he wants to join, and Jason has made the mistake of saying he needs to ask the band first, only to call Roy who is a little shit and goes "Yeah he can join our band."

Cut to Jason, Starfire, and a sheepish Roy scrambling to actually be a punk band as they get sucked further and further into committing to the bit

or

Fake Band au, like a fake dating au but with more people and instruments and probably ends in polyamory

[suzukiblu]

btw when you said that maybe you should've given Tim a pocket Bernard in the Damian Gets a Pocket fic, to more clearly distinguish the two storylines, my brain absolutely did not interpret that as "Bernard instead of Core Four Polyamory" but as "Tim with FOUR pockets"

I cannot IMAGINE how the rest of the Core Four would SEETHE over just NOT GETTING TO MEET TIM'S NEW SOULMATE. 🤣

Cassie, Bart, and Kon: TIM. TIM, WE DON'T CARE ABOUT STUPID SECRET BAT-RULES, WE WANT TO MEET OUR NEW BOYFRIEND.

Tim: listen, we don't even know if the rest of you ARE soulmates, that's really jumping the gun--

Cassie, Bart, and Kon: you are sleeping on the couch forever, actually, boyfriend-hogger.

meanwhile, somewhere in Gotham:

Bernard, carefully preparing his Tim-Pocket a sampling of tiny desserts to figure out which ones to "accidentally" make a quadruple batch of: So anyway how long do you think Big You's gonna keep trying to hide three super-powered Pockets in his camera bag every time he sees us like he thinks he's slick? And also keeping Mini-Me stuck in his utility belt when he's on-duty instead of just getting the poor little guy a mask already. Also that. Like, rough estimate. I need to know when I need to be prepared to trot out my oblivious civilian face, that's all.

Pocket!Tim: /chirpchirpsqueak

Bernard, reasonably: You're right, I should just start stalking Young Justice until I can trick them into meeting me with weaponized pastry. Good plan, Clicker.

Nathan/Vlad/Ursula created by @thebibliosphere.

Description provided by Anon.

Gotham city sirens :

They're all strong female characters part of Batman's rogues gallery with questionable taste in men, an interesting blooming friendship born from becoming partners in crime occasionally who end up hanging out with each other more once their relationship becomes more established.

Description provided by @powerpolyculeshowdown.

Nathan/Vlad/Ursula: For most of the book it's about two of the characters' romance (Vlad and Nathan) and Ursula meets them closer to the end. Their relationship, I think, is supposed to be continued in the next book. They all kiss each other and it's clear from the book that they like each other, and are all open to polyamory.

[mel-addams]

I was just gonna do this as a quick sketchy doodle...but then it escalated. Twice.

[Image ID: A digital illustration of the start of a polyamorous nighttime tryst between the Hunger Pangs trio and the victorian-esque Gotham City Sirens, within Vlad's greenhouse. Pamela is leaning lasciviously over Vlad, who is restrained by crawling vines and gasping at her attentions. In the background behind Pamela, Harley is enthusiastically cheering from some bushes, and Selina is grinning with her hand on Harley's hip. Behind Vlad, also in the background bushes, Nathan and Ursula are cuddling and smiling at the scene unfolding before them. In the bottom corner, a bloom from Vlad's carnivorous plant Rosa appears to be giving the camera a thumbs up with one of her spiraling vines. The image is styled to look somewhat like a comic book cover. Along the top is the title "Gotham Bi Gaslamp" in a bi flag colored gradient, with a quartz lantern hanging from the "G" in "Gaslamp." Above the title is the text "A Batman / Hunger Pangs Crack Crossover." Below the title are credits stating "concept by Joy Demorra" and "faux cover by Mel Addams."]

I was delighted to find that I didn't really have to design any of the Sirens' outfits to fit the relative timeline! Selina already has a fancy grey outfit in the Gotham By Gaslight movie (link). Pamela also has a nice outfit in the same movie (link), which I adjusted (by adding leaves and embroidered roses) using a same-world comic source that includes a neat Harley outfit (link). And for those unfamiliar, "gaslamp fantasy" is the term for more magic-leaning steampunk-style fiction, which is what Phangs is!

I know Pamela Isley only plays around with men to kill them, but I think she’d make an exception for Vlad. I think she’d look at all the rare magical plants he’s saved or brought back from extinction over the years and and go “well now I have to peg him.”

She really doesn’t, as both Harley and Selina remind her. But she’s gonna.

Does Talia still have a relationship with Damian? Does she have a relationship with Batman?

in BronzeRealms, Polyamory is common among superheroes in the 21st century. Batman/Clark/Diana/Lois is a full quad. He's also married to Selina.

He's not with Talia, though. They're not enemies, but not involved. The League of Assassins, now led by Talia, is mildly reformed. Still a League of Assassins, tho. Just no longer trying to actively topple civilizations, and slightly more principled about what jobs they'll take. Talia can visit with Damian, if Damian wants her to, and for his sake the Fam will refrain from trying to capture her for her many, many (some still ongoing) international crimes. But she's not exactly sitting down for most family meals.

I will now tell big parts of the story of how things got like this.

Turning back the clock to 2006, Batman has been Batman-ing for over 3 years, but he is not known as a great fighter. He's got some passable martial arts, enough to outmatch nearly any street crooks, but primarily at this point he is the World's Greatest Detective, with some wonderful toys and a stealthy spooky cape. Dick and Barbara could either one kick his ass out of costume.

Bane comes to Gotham. He has no civilian identity to detective out, can see in the dark well enough that his stealth is useless, and isn't scared of bats. Bane arranges for Batman to be isolated from his allies and cracks his spine over his knee. Most of Gotham assumes Batman is dead. His cousin Kate takes up the mantle as Batwoman (after the short and disastrous tenure of Jean-Paul Valley). But Bats himself isn't ready to call it quits. He leaves Gotham, not telling anyone, even Dick, where he's going.

He's going to find the League of Assassins. He only heard rumors about them in his original world journeys preparing to become Batman, but now, he finally meets them. He asks to be taken in and have his back healed, and they do. He sticks to his word and stays with them, and begins his training. Talia falls in love with him, and they get together.

But this is still the League of Assassins under Ra's al Ghul, and Gotham is a target on their map. I won't say that Batman never loved Talia back, but if it's a choice between her and Gotham? It was only a matter of time. A year and change after he found them (and having become one of the more formidable martial artists on the planet), he leaves.

And here's the thing. He suspected. He knew that the League of Assassins wanted their heir. He knew Talia wasn't on any kind of birth control. He saw what might be early-months signs. But if he KNEW, he wouldn't have been able to abandon her and return to Gotham. And he needed to return to Gotham. He had a mission, and already had a family. He couldn't afford to know, so he convinced himself that he didn't, buried his guilt, and he got on the next boat.

Skipping through some stuff I'll give more details on in different posts, 2008 he takes in Jason Todd. In 2012 Jason Todd is murdered by The Joker, then his corpse is taken by the League of Assassins. 2016, Batman fights the Red Hood, finds out he's Jason resurrected by the Lazarus Pit. Jason wins the fight, but can't kill him.

The next year, 2017, Red Hood tells young Damian, Talia's son, that he knows who his father is. He brings Damian to Gotham. Damian is surprised that his father is the Batman, the legendary protector of Gotham, the very city that his grandfather has been trying to destroy for Damian's entire life. Talia comes for him, but Damian decides he wants to stay and get to know his father and the city. Against her father's wishes, Talia agrees to let him stay, and he becomes Robin and takes the full name Damian Wayne.

Ra's doesn't stand by this, and he partners with Scarecrow and Astrid Arkham, providing them with a private army, thousands of soldiers, tanks, drones, advanced technology, some of which is Batman's own gadgetry stolen by Red Hood when he was still working for them. Late 2017 the League of Assassins wages all-out-war against Gotham and a full scale military occupation. Scarecrow fits people with Fear Toxin collars to enforce his own law, with the Arkham Knight as the enigmatic enforcer of his Fear State.

(Tangent): During the fight, two of the Arkham Knight's soldiers are accidentally killed in a battle against Batman. He discovers the two had brought their son, Turner Hayes, to Gotham with them. Turner had never known that his parents were mercenaries. Batman decides to cover up the circumstances of their deaths so that Turner never has to know, and as Bruce Wayne he adopts the boy, but continues to keep him in the dark about his own identity as Batman, or all the rest of the family's hero lives. He honors Turner's parents, the first people he considers himself to have murdered (even if accidental), by protecting Turner from the world of heroes and villains altogether, just as they had, giving him the normal life that tragedy robbed Bruce himself of. (End Tangent)

Early 2018 sees the end of the Fear State, and proves the final defeat of the League of Assassins' campaign against Gotham. After his repeated failures, Talia ousts Ra's from power. He flees, along with a splinter faction of loyalists, becoming the League of Shadows based out of Infinity Island, and Talia begins instituting reforms, inspired by her son having chosen Batman's methods over the ones he was raised in.

And while Batman respects her readiness to improve the organization... she is still literally the Queen of Assassins and the last time he killed someone he adopted a kid out of guilt so no they're not getting back together.

And I think that gets us basically up to speed on why things with Talia are strained, but not hostile (mostly for Damian's sake tbf).

Polyamory could fix many problems. Also the press would have a field day if Gotham heiress Cassandra Wayne showed up to a gala with three hot blondes on her arm
