More Quotes from Jaime Reyes in Gotham :)

This can be read as part of any DC universe, not just Battinson

“I can’t just tell my parents I lost my backpack because I got mugged again! If they freak and pull me out, I’ll never get my degree! Do you know how hard it was to get a full ride?” *sobs in eldest child*

*1st Gen Club meeting* “Hey guys, my name’s Alexa :) I’m 18, majoring in comp sci, and my parents are also Joker goons.” Jaime: “Ahaha that’s so crazyyy. My name’s Jaime-“

“Someone just asked me if I’m out of state and said it’s because I smile too much? Is that, like, a compliment or…”

“Oh don’t worry. I heard you about the string of local murders. My baby sister is horrible at giving bad news, and I’m the eldest so I feel personally responsible for my entire family’s future success. So I’m just in a constant state of panic.”

*bombs going off in the distance* Jaime, jamming in his dorm room with headphones on: 🎶 No sé qué está pasando 🎶 Que todo está al revés 🎶

“Yes, má. Don’t worry. I’m only staying in Gotham for an extra day because I missed my flight. It has nothing to do with the fact that the Penguin has taken the entire airport hostage…Hm? Oh, that was mi amigo, Henry. He was joking. Quiet, hostage! It’s an inside joke we have. Haha!”

“Never have I ever been mugged four times in one week. Yes! I win again :D”

“Who taught Robin Spanish? I swear he just called me a puta for running into him.”

“Which convenience store on 6th is a mob front again? All of them? Okay, I’ll just go to 7th.”

“Ahh Mr. Dent, sir? So sorry to bother you. Um, I know you’re kind of busy, robbing this bank and everything, but do you mind helping me out a bit? I have an exam tomorrow for Criminal Justice, and you used to be a great DA—“

“What are the chances that a supervillain gets our final exam pushed back?” “Wow, really? That much?”

“At this point, nothing can surprise me.” *two weeks later* Jaime, shoving another quarter in the Jaime Jinx Jar: “Okay fine! So it was a little surprising— Alexa, stop laughing!”

Battinson: tearing through the streets of Gotham in his Batmobile, narrowly avoiding several crashes, concussed as we speak

Jaime, on the phone, watching from his dorm room at Goth Law: Mamá! Look, I know the news is talking about a serial killer, but it’s okay! I’m perfectly fine— dios mio. I think someone just blew up Wayne Tower. What? NO, I didn’t say anything.

Hey Shelby! :)

I'm currenty looking for battinson fic recs too. I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed today and really need a distraction cause i'm in so much pain right now :(

Hope you're doing well :)

hi anon! First off, oof, good luck with your widsom teeth! I had mine done in October ish so I'll put some unsolicited advice under a cut (in case you want to skip it lol)

some of my faaaavorite fics (and I'm sure I'll forget some):

@neutron-stars-collision 's Waiting for the Night is set just before and during the events of the film and I love it--it's ongoing but very close to completion and has the best angst/ idiots to lovers plot

@punchdrunkdoc has a brilliant slow burn with an OC that I adore (I know a lot of people prefer reader insert but trust me, this fic is amazing!) Just Breathe is definitely a permanent favorite

@whats-rambled-rambled has a mini series that I still reread because it's so beautiful, it starts with the one called the way down! (which btw is a song I became obsessed with because of this fic, and I still listen to it on the regular)

@devilfic has an ongoing series I'm obsessed with called right place, right time

@zipperzoo my bestie has an ongoing series (on hiatus but still worth checking out!) called fight to make it up and honestly it's hilarious and fun and the right amount of angst

Again I'm sure I've left people out, so feel free to use this as a rec post too and comment your fic or your faves! These are just the ones off the top of my head

now for unsolicited wisdom teeth advice!

for me, it just...sucked for a while. However! Icing it every 20-30 minutes for the first day or two definitely helped with the pain. I also slept propped up because laying on my side or all the way flat made my whole head hurt for some reason

make sure to take breaks icing it! Also, don't ice it past day 2.

Take your medications! I only used the hardcore pain meds for maybe day 1 and 2 and then switched to only taking it at night but taking a shit ton of ibuprofen during the day--that's just personal preference though because the pain meds made me feel too drowsy (100% listen to the surgeon's advice on this though!)

do not use a fucking straw for at least a week. DO NOT USE A STRAW. I'm sure they told you this but seriously....don't do it. Even when you start to feel better in a few days don't do it, give your mouth time to heal over! Listen to the instructions on this for sure!! I'm a bit anal with this stuff so I actually avoided a straw for a month lmao but whatever timeline they give you, stick to that, minimum

Don't forget to brush your teeth. It will hurt the first few days but you have to keep your mouth clean!

And last but not least unless I randomly remember something: hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. You won't be eating much for a few days so water is your new best friend to stay alive. Also it'll help with healing. Get a big ass cup and refill it often, trust me on this

i am 100% sure a few hours ago, your account had a totally different aesthetic and your name in the bio started with an r or smth. btw can i have the pic you used for your prev header? i think it was battinson in a vogue cover

Me, changes her entire layout every few minutes: Oh you're new here huh JENSNSN and also my surname also has a " lee" in it!! That's the one I prefer since Ralu is too close to my actual name lol

And ofc!! Here

oh yeah btw i’m gonna say this now: He’s a vigilante. He’s not officially in cahoots with Gordon yet. As far as the media cares, The Bat is a criminal as well. Bruce was fully aware this would be the case. That’s why it doesn’t bother him. It doesn’t bother him once he becomes one of the ‘good guys’ because he doesn’t see himself as a good guy. Even when he joins/starts the justice league, he considers himself a criminal. \

He’s doing illegal actions, yes to bring justice to victims and to end criminal activity, but he’s still being a criminal himself. He recognizes it. He knows it. That doesn’t stop him. He would absolutely do anything he had to in order to keep people safe, or his version of safe. That does, 100% mean, even when people beg the Bat to stay out of it, he does not stay out of it if he thinks he can stop whatever is happening. 

Aka why Battinson does seem to know Bruce much better than most of the actors who’ve played him all in all, because he knows Bruce isn’t really a hero. A vigilante may do good things, but that doesn’t make them a true hero. He’s doing things to better the world, based on his perception of what would improve it. That doesn’t mean it’s always the right thing to do. That doesn’t mean he’s not pulling criminal activities. Bruce may care about people, far more than he admits, but that doesn’t mean he’s actually doing good all the time.

“ We’re criminals, Alfred, we’ve always been criminals. Nothing’s changed.”
