king without a crown - soyasauce - Batman - All Media Types [Archive of Our Own]

I love isolated Gotham independent Gotham and King Bruce stories I'm happy more people are writing them here's one that I found today Bruce gets appointed presidents without asking him and now he has to run Gotham

[currentfandomkick]

So update on roles i think DP characters would play:

Ellie: often in diplomat training, absolutely an out and about Halfa and often a go-to for diplomatic missions. (Obsessions include: finding her own identity, travel, helping her fraid specifically, learning, trade as a concept and practice, medicine (as unstable) )

Danny: mostly helps the new metas ans new liminals with their powers. He’s emperor on a technicality and is technically a baby ghost posing as a severely ecto-contaminated human. He does tag along for some of Ellie, Tucker and Sam’s outings in politics but is usually not going to. He is thriving as Some Guy with a weirdly vast knowledge of power control for many meta abilities and is functionally a meta and liminal abilities coach and councilor, but does this casually. He finds someone struggling? Here’s a bunch if tips and tricks. Here’s a blog of him explaining the ThingTM. Otherwise he is an infinite realms expert but thinks he is not, as he only cares about the alien portions and the one resembling space. No he will not be responsible, and yes his obsession is largely centered on family, responsibility and finding his own joy (i love multiple obsessions for each ghost) and yes he does love to learn skills but not information and yes space is his longtime obsession from birth as a baby liminal no i am not taking criticism on this hc.

Valerie: likely helping others adapt to new environment, probably knows more about the shield tech than most thanks to her dad overseeing its standardization and installation, absolutely seen as someone on call for dangerous ghosts appearing in Gotham Principality (nicknamed Land of Gargoyles, Grit, and Goths)

Tucker: technically a reincarnated pharaoh expected to rule upon his death. Resident of Amity, often a diplomat to Atlantis with Ellie. Drags Danny along for future practice but mostly is there for technomancy while Ellie talks trade (Tucker helps her on nitty gritty details due to Pharaoh Memories of negotiations but isn’t into the big picture aspect). Local technomancer who helps and works with other technomancers in Amity, is liminal (and can use death magic) plus is probs an embodiment of the egyptian pantheon (usual dc headcannon following tucker that i love for him interacting with Wonder Woman and other amazons). Budding obsessions: technology, videogames, magic, politics and friendship.

Sam: daughter of the MAIN Diplomat (Jeremy) and a chief organizer and leader of the Council, (Pamela). She kickstarted this entire process and led the protests against the anti-ecto acts. Often a diplomat in Gotham, seen speaking to Poison Ivy for defensive purposes and environmental policy discussions… (and eco terrorism) and is learning from her parents. Sometimes accompanied by Tucker, but more often Ellie is there with her learning too. Does welcome a lot of magic users and is seen as a local community organizer with a focus on her budding obsessions (environmentalism, photography, politics, punk-goth).

Wes: absolutely here with detailed info on everyone trying to break into amity. Gotham has oracle. Amity has Wes doxing everyone guarding the border and finding blackmail solely out of spite. Does wes have the curse of cassandra? Yep. Does he know Danny is King of the IR via combat? Yes. Is he annoyed Danny isnt setting up a role in politics and trying to bully him into it? Big time. Is it failing on the convincing part? Yes, as Danny wants to be Some Guy.

Fenton Parents: terrifying inventors who are team Amity Park first and foremost. They love having Vlad act like their old friend at last and rubbing their inventions in the face of everyone who made fun of them in the past. Yes they are thriving. Obsessions are shared and focus on science (concentrated to anything ecto), inventing, their family and friends.

The Mansons: see post above. Obsessions boil down to family, their daughter, organization, rules, politeness and by proxy politics.

Jazz: a baby therapist who runs a dead clone rehab in the Infinite Realms with ghosts who’s obsession is helping others, psychology, and rehabilitation centric. Her baby obsessions are psychology, assisting others, family, and (surprisingly) baking.

Paulina: Vlad’s social media campaign manager. As she’s most of his social media team (Sam helps her but they refuse to admit it). Yes she is helping Amity and works with Pamela and Jeremy, no she is not overly involved. Yes she knows more than you, she works here, and here is where things happen. Budding obsessions: gossip/social information, popularity, social media, politics (fell into), fashion and its impact and influence on culture and vice versa. Cheerleading is her hobby, as is gymnastics. Great for self-defense.

Dash: joined “border” patrols but is mostly a jock. Yes he still kicks Danny’s butt as Fenton and adores Phantom. He vexes Wes. Dash’s obsessions are sports, hierarchy/being ‘on top’, safety and the town/Amity.

Vlad: billionaire bamboozling the USA, opportunist keeping Amity relevant and unintentionally the main “recruiter” for most that seek asylum or move to Amity due to meta, magic or being liminal. Helps the Fentons with inventions, works with the Mansons on politics, somehow in charge of border patrols as a result and debates taunting the idiots holding the line pointing weapons at the Amity and her border. Obsessions: family (Maddie and Danny mostly, includes Ellie), acceptance, ecto science, inventing (man has to be obsessed with it to be besties with Jack and Maddie in college), and Power (politics is often a means to this, as is money and buisness).

I will attempt more roles another time, but comment characters for me to use and expand on for “not today satan” residents, or residents of the Gotham Principality.

Also help me please, does Ra’s cult and various cities around lazarus pits make him a leader of many small city states or something of the sort? Or is he just like, a pirate king that the IR side eye but dont care enough about to shoo away? Legit stuck on this

*slams the door open, eyes manic* Sovereign State!

A Sovereign State: "International law defines sovereign states as having a permanent population, defined territory, a government not under another, and the capacity to interact with other sovereign states."

The USA already HAS several that exsist within its boarders? And there was that Gay Island of Australia (no really, look it up.) There is a LONG history of humanity going "well fuck you too then, I'm leaving. But also I refuse to leave. I am METAPHORICALLY leaving." *leaves your country and makes their own*

And??

Where's the FUCK were you? Mr. President? During that INVASION by Pariah Dark??

No, really. Social contracts, my dude. That is WHY you have AN ARMY. For INVADING FORCES.

You ALSO have declared us, your citizens, non-sentient and stripped of us our Constitutional Rights WITHOUT hearings, studies, or any due processes. Not to mention just desecrating the dead like it's NOT a well known religious and moral taboo. AND attacking out dead family members! The list goes on!

Why do we pay you taxes, if YOU are the active threat to us AND you offer us no social services?? You've all but cut Amity off anyway!

.......*Takes our ball and goes home* FUCK IT.

They are literally Limnals. It's a TOWN OF METAS. Can you honestly tell me that they WOULDN'T look at the Ecto-Acts and just think: "Yeeeeeah, how about No. Hard Pass."

You can have your INCREDIBLY stupid and offensive law. In OUR country, that's illegal. "We can't do that?" Yes. We can. We informed you in a Formal Document, which you received, you had the opportunity to STOP us, you did or could not, AND we got Regonized by another government.

It's a Ghost Goverment. We, the city state of Amity, were recognized by like... going on 23 at this point. We have a list. All Ghost Goverments, too. Sucks for you that you don't recognize those, they've decided not to recognize YOURS back until you do.

Politics, baby~

Aaaw D:> Does the Upset Baby wanna call, Superman? Boo Hoo. Somebody's forgetting the Justice League serves EARTH, not AMERICA. Suck on a lemon and die mad about it. Better not come back as a Ghost though! Your Goverment will declare you a lab specimen!

Now if you'll excuse us, WE have interplanetary trade routes. Because WE can use alien tech from our Ghost Buddies. And the Fenton Anti-Creep Barrier means you can't do SHIT. So *large crowd of teenagers making rude noises at frustrated government officials*

*Justice Leauge taking picture in the background* You're doing great sweeties! Aquaman is? So proud of the younger generation? They really are the future, you guys. Can he come in?

Oh of COURSE, your Majesty! *somehow ONLY Aquaman is able to get past the barrier, much to the impotent fury of the GIW and various officials*

The Supernatural Script Hunt came from humble origins, a handful of fans banding together to collect and preserve our fandom history, making as many scripts as possible accessible to fans worldwide. Since acquiring our first script over five years ago, and then branching out to involve so many fans supporting the work in the years since, it was always our intent to give it all back, and then some.

When we began this project, the fandom collectively had six scripts from five episodes and a single network outline. In the five years since we bought our first script to add to that collection, we are ending the project with a total of 163 scripts from 147 episodes, casting sides from 50+ episodes, 50+ call sheets, arenas from 18 episodes, and other related documents. A complete list of items in our collection is on the SupernaturalWiki, for a closer look, click here.

The time has come for us to offer everyone a final chance to own their very own priceless souvenir of the show and cast we all love so dearly. In doing so, we also want to honor the largest (hopefully!) legacy of our fandom: using our collective power for good. Which is why we're offering up some very special scripts (and a few other items!) in our collection in a raffle to benefit Undue Medical Debt.

Our initial goal was to raise at least $10,000 so we can erase at least one million dollars in medical debt.  We've met that goal, our stretch goal is to get to $20,000 so we can erase at least two million dollars in medical debt.

How Undue Medical Debt Works:

You make a donation. They use data analytics to pinpoint the debt of those most in need: households that earn less than 4x the federal poverty level or whose debts are 5% or more of annual income.

Undue Medical Debt buys medical debt at a steep discount. They buy debt in bundles, millions of dollars at a time at a fraction of the original cost. This means your donation relieves about 100x its value in medical debt.

Together we wipe out medical debt. People across the country receive letters that their debt has been erased. They have no tax consequences or penalties to consider. Just like that, they're free of medical debt.

For every $10 you donate to Undue Medical Debt, you will 1) be erasing about $1,000 in medical debt and 2) be able to enter our raffle to win one of the items listed below.

Gotham’s prodigal son buying Cocaine...from his brother?

Independent journalist ( @secretidentie ) posted a conversation they claimed to have overheard between the three eldest Wayne children earlier this evening, sparking a host of controversy surrounding the Wayne family (see post here)

The journalist claimed to have overheard Tim Drake, CEO of Wayne enterprises, ask his older brother, Jason Todd, to buy him cocaine so he could fit in with the other ‘young finance bros’ of the Gotham Elite. To this the journalist claims Mr. Todd initially refused, stating that while he might be a crime lord he was not a drug dealer, and their older brother Dick Grayson stepped in.

They then claimed that Mr. Grayson agreed with Mr. Todd, showing concern for his younger brother’s health and safety and threatening to tell their father, billionaire and philanthropist Bruce Wayne, that the second youngest Wayne son was attempting to restart the crack epidemic in Gotham (though this journal would like to point out how it has never truly gone away, and the sheer absurdity of the claim that one boy could restart an entire drug epidemic).

The entire interaction ends with the independent journalist claiming that Mr. Todd threatened to buy a ‘fuck ton’ of cocaine to ‘rub it in’ Mr. Drake’s face. Following this Mr. Drake is silent for a few moments before the journalist claims he asks if Mr. Todd could buy him meth instead.

This publication would like to squash these rumours as the sheer absurdity of the whole altercation would make more sense in one of the Joker’s schemes than a conversation between the eldest sons of the Bruce Wayne.

On top of the obvious sensationalism, the fact that the independent journalist in question failed to provide any proof of this incident nor how they may have acquired such information brings to question the credibility of any of their prior claims.

For further explanation we reached out to Mr. Drake himself who confirms that this article is completely fabricated, stating that he and his brothers would never do such a thing. He stated that he and his family were deeply offended that anyone would ever even insinuate that they would partake in the less-than-legal side of Gotham, after which he went on to voice his concerns for the oral health of anyone who participates in such activities.

Though the other Wayne children involved in this situation were not available to comment, we wanted to put the minds of the Gotham people at ease. We do not believe that the original article has any truth within it and would like to stress the importance of fact checking and reliable reporting (of which we, the Gotham Report, are certified).

As always, we’d love to here your thoughts on the topic (here)

Gotham War/Batman 138 SPOILERS

What's funny- in the most horrible way- is that Bruce has now LITERALLY conditioned his son to fear him. Even after all this is over, he's going to have to deal with Satan's Own CPTSD. It is getting continuously seared into his brain THE ENTIRE TIME after the injection and his waking up.

God knows what the writers will actually do, but I think when this is all over Jason is going to get the fuck out of Gotham.

...one of the reasons I love Jason so much is that he's a fighter. I hope DC doesn't let me down in that regard, but...

Edit: Oh it's not out for another week WHOOPSIE

had talia not been character assassinated do you think she and bruce should have gotten back together?

no. i hate to use the word "phase" bc that would seem to diminish the importance of what's between them, which is something that will always persist esp as their continued dedication to the same causes and their respect for each other remains. but i do think realistically bruce should be a phase in talia's life. at least in terms of consummated romances specifically. i do love the idea of them remaining allies, close friends, and co-parents, but i think allowing talia to walk away from ra's and bruce in the first place has to stand for something in the long term. before talia went her own way i think it was easier to imagine a potential future where she ended up with bruce bc it felt like the desirable option. she was in this very debilitating position where she had little to no freedom to act on her own desires and goals, the embodiment of which was none other than bruce. so when you frame her situation pre-tower of babel, obv wanting to be with bruce was appealing. he was as much the love of her life as he was a means of escape and freedom and talia having the scope to then act on her own desires. i think that's what subsequently makes dc #750 (or is it #570. i never get the numbers straight and i'm too lazy to check) a really clever issue, actually, bc it acknowledges that and the fact that bruce once again setting her free bc of his love for her actually gives her the courage to step out on her own where she never has before. the fact that she has the option to go back to gotham with bruce and presumably have everything she's ever wanted with him, but she leaves it anyway, is a really huge deal. it's a statement. she loves him, but not more than she loves herself. and sure, what talia puts herself through during lex corp era certainly begs the question of whether her version of loving herself is really viable or in any way healthy, and i would love to see bruce help her recognize that she's not alone and that she doesn't have to do it alone to prove that she's capable. all of this i agree with. but i don't think that really means she and bruce have to fall back on their once-imagined dream of playing house. even if talia did find methods of going about her work that were mentally healthier i don't really know what'd be in it for her to play house with bruce in gotham. bc that is what it would have to be, for their relationship to work in any way. bruce will never leave gotham and son of the demon didn't need to explore that issue bc it was never going to get there but trust that corny as the line about naming the baby thomas or martha was it was reflective of a reality: gotham is bruce's entire life. no matter where he goes, no matter what he does, no matter who he works with, in the end he will always belong to gotham. and i simply do not think that would ever work for talia bc there is so much more she is capable of. while her vision is aligned with bruce's her scope of access and ability is entirely distinct of his own and there is so much more that she can do aside from relegate herself to gotham (hence why lex corp as an arc makes so much sense, bc it capitalizes on that scope). and yeah every superhero couple is kinda crazy and they have teleportation and shit but idk i don't think it's really a relationship for each party to go on long missions with ill-defined parameters that give them the worst sleep schedules known to man and occasionally they share a bed. it really isn't. and that's something that bruce and talia have to live with. their duty is always going to come first even though they both have a passion for civilian life. for talia to be in a relationship again she would have to stop having the liberty of being able to go wherever the work carries her and for bruce to be in a relationship again he would have to have the equivalent of a robin-wife. neither of these things is ever going to happen. so

249 - Love is Strange

Ahead of this week's release of Ira Sachs' Passages, we're discussing perhaps Sachs' most lauded film, 2014's Love is Strange. The film stars John Lithgow and Alfred Molina as a newly married couple forced to live apart in New York City when one of them is fired from his Catholic school job for being gay. Charting the frustrating nuances of cohabitation and the unexamined financial hardships of city life, the film is a quiet wonder filled with humane performances, including Marisa Tomei as part of the couple's social circle. Praised at Sundance and in its late summer release, the film managed to stay in conversation due to several Independent Spirit nominations, but was shut out by Oscar.

This episode, we discuss Sachs' underappreciated filmography and Molina's career rise as a trustworthy supporting player. We also discuss Lithgow's consecutive Supporting Actor nominations in the 1980s, the film's release in the year before the Obergefell ruling, and Sony Pictures Classics' busy 2014.

Topics also include Best Grownup Love Story, the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, and Asteroid City.

Gotham Knights is Cancelled

The last of the SPN trio’s new shows has been cancelled. First it was Jensen Ackles’s The Winchesters, then Jared Padalecki’s Walker: Independence, and now Misha Collins’s Gotham Knights. None of these shows managed to find new homes on other networks of streaming platforms after the CW decided they were too costly to continue. The perhaps only saving graces are that Padalecki’s Walker Texas Ranger revival, simply titled Walker, has been renewed for a fourth season on the CW, The Boys continues further with Jensen as Soldier Boy, and Ackles’s western film “Rust” is set to be released. Also, with Misha being as phenomenal of an actor as he is, it won’t be long till he starts a new project.

Thank you to @stunudo for correcting me in the comments. Due to what is thought to be scheduling conflicts, Jensen is no longer in the film Rust with his character having been recast. Let’s hope we see him on the big screen soon though.

The CIA vs Clark Kent; the mark of a journalist

Our story tonight takes us out of Gotham City and lands us in Metropolis (see related articles), nicknamed the Gilded City by many of its residents and Gothamites alike.

Recently concerns have been raised surrounding a well known reporter, Clark Kent, and the potential threats posed to his life by our own government. There have been several notable articles of his critiquing the US government as well as two notable anonymous attempts on his life as of late, this combination has led to many netizens speculating that he may be falling victim to the reporters curse (see related articles).

The reporters curse is the nickname for a well known conspiracy stating that the CIA has a tendency to eliminate investigative journalists that get to close to the ‘truth’ and/or are gaining to much sway when criticizing governmental agencies and decisions.

There have been many a case of this happening, many of which are simply speculative but the CIA has admitted to committing a fair swath of these assassinations as well (see related articles). Many of these unconfirmed incidents have enough evidence that many people believe this theory to be fact.

Mr. Kent is an investigative journalist for The Daily Planet (see related articles), a newspaper based in Metropolis and a subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises. His career spans nearly two decades and his history of finding the truth regardless of danger fits the profile of those fallen to the reporters curse to a T.

Mr. Kent was the inspiration for many modern journalists, though the man not even 50. Most journalists have to live and die by their work before reaching a fraction of the influence Mr. Kent has had over the world of journalism.

Whatever the case may be for whoever is behind the two recent attacks on Mr. Kent’s life, we urge the journalist to take precautions and want to thank him for his service.
