#i believe those neighborhoods are rlly multicultural and you're exposed to a lot of variation in languages + accents

thinking abt dove and jason having similar ways of saying things + similar accents bc they grew up in the same area but the way they both sound is still rlly distinct and different.

bc dove grew up around their dad who wasn't originally from gotham & had a way different accent so dove picked that up and they have a weird mix of their dad's accent + a park row accent and it sounds rlly nice and fits their voice well if that makes sense.

and jason is the king of code switching fr. bc he normally has a very OBVIOUS accent it is CLEAR he grew up in park row but he's also rlly good at muting / hiding it depending on who he's around. he got rlly good at it when he first started going to school after bruce adopted him bc he was already getting picked on for different shit he figured it'd help if he sounded like he belonged. it kept him from getting judged too harshly at school and at events he'd go to with bruce. & that version of him + his accent is kind of his default when he's working (more so as robin, as red hood he falls somewhere in between both versions bc it helps he be taken seriously). if he's comfortable enough or tired enough or he just doesn't care he won't bother to hide it
