Gotham Online

Summary:

The Waynes and the Bats as seen through social media.

Notes:

This fic has not been abandoned! I am currently very busy, and I haven't had much time to write fic lately. I promise if I ever decide to abandon this fic (or any other) I will say so, but that is not the case. I have more chapters partially written and many more ideas too. Just a lack of time (and at times motivation) and sometimes my interest being captured by other things, but this fic will get more content at some point. ETA: The above is still true; although my main interests shift frequently I haven't lost interest in DC and I keep having ideas for this fic, just a lack of time and focus. (August, 2025)

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Jade 💎 | BLM @artistjade

#OnlyInGotham local (maybe ex/reformed¿?) crime lord vigilante Red Hood and local celebrity kids, Tim Drake and Damian Wayne have beef and trade insults while one is saving the others from the villain of the week

Jade 💎 | BLM @artistjade

Like they were legit insulting eachother, Hood had a gun on his hand and at least two more that I could see strapped to his body and yet Tim Drake looked him dead in the eye and called him an asshole

Jade 💎 | BLM @artistjade

and like we all know Damian Wayne is Like That but calling THE Red Hood an "immature, sad excuse of a fighter" is next level these kids are insane

Red Hood @RealRHood

okay but drake is a bitch he's supposed to be an example and there he is talking about how he failed lit and history in high school don't talk me until you've passed your sophomore lit class you bitch

Tim Drake @TDrakeWayne

i think i just met some rl angels

#in gotham too which is the last place you'd expect #im not sure this happened for real #maybe i was hit by some new jok** or ivy gas and hallucinated the whole thing #im omw home give me 30 minutes to shower and i'll tell you the whole story

dancingbell-wing

ok so....as many of my followers may know i work a really shitty customer service job and im also a sex worker because this is gotham and i need money to live right. so i had a pretty shitty night two nights ago with shit clients but there isnt much i can do about it. so i went to visit the local health clinic, which this being the worse side of gotham (all gotham is the bad side of gotham, this is just a particularly bad side), is horribly rundown and overworked and understaffed and all that. and while its true that wayne's been pumping more money into it its still pretty shit. but theyre the only place this side of gotham that does std testing for free (courtesy of wayne so tnx for that) and they only take a few days or about a week usually which is pretty fast considering.

so i went to the clinic to get a test done just in case (which i do regularly anyways but also after shit clients just in case) and ive been waiting for about half an hour at this point waiting to be called when these three girls walk in. they clearly dont belong in this side of gotham you can tell as much from first glance. i dont need to describe the type but some of you probably know what im talking about, sometimes you just know. and with these their faces were a huge tip off once you really looked. they were kinda dressed down, trying to blend in or not get recognised i guess but one of those was clearly the gcpd commissioner's daughter (barbara) and the other was wayne's daughter (cassandra i think?). im not sure who the third one was i don't keep up with gossip as much anymore but she seemed familiar too im sure ive seen her in the front page of gossip rags before.

anyways they walk in, or wheel in barbara's case. but they walk in and the third girl, the blonde one, goes to talk with the people at the front desk while barbara and wayne's kid stay to the side talking. signing, actually, but same thing.

im not sure if they actually came for a purpose but while they were there they did two things. number one they paid everything everyone present needed to have done. just, out of pocket. the blonde one just took out a credit card (that if shes to be believed is actually tim wayne's card??) and payed for everything the clinic would allow her. and the other thing they did was help around. im not sure how long they actually stayed, they were there at least two hours but they stayed after i left. but they just volunteered some time and extra hands. theyre all apparently trained in first aid and have some pretty extensive medical knowledge for people who didn't go to med school?? but yeah, they helped around.

wayne mostly helped out in storage and with some vaccines and injections from what i heard. i didn't actually see her much. the blonde one helped clean a few injuries, bandage some and helped one of the doctors get a cast on someones leg.

and barbara, who is apparently trained for it and had the certifications to prove it, mostly gave a quick sex ed lecture and talked about reproductive health and safety abortions and she was generally great and really helpful. and then she just stayed there, giving encouragement and company to all who needed it. she played with some of the kids in the waiting room, she answered privately some teenagers questions probably about the talk she gave, and then she went around talking w everyone.

she actually asked me about me and cared to listen. she didn't judge me at all about getting tested for stds as often as i do or about the sex work i do. she told me she knew some people who could make sure i was safer while working out in the streets and gave me the contact info of a local organization that works to ensure sex workers are safer by connecting us to a network of others and doing some basic background checks on any clients we ask, as well as providing a lot of amazing recourses of information and some basic health screenings all for free. she asked about my tattoos and my sister and my shitty retail job and when i told her i went to veterinary school for two years before dropping out she said she could maybe get me some work doing that if i was interested. even tho i dropped out.

she was just absolutely amazing the best person I've ever met she was absolutely nonjudgmental the whole time and really supportive of everyone. her sex ed and reproductive health talk wasn't just for cis straight people she talked about various possible combinations of sex w multiple different genitals involved (and with more than just two people too!) and when talking about reproductive health she wasnt like men this and women that she was like people with ovaries this and people with uteri that and people with penises this and blah she was great super trans inclusive and everything i know shes like eight years yougner than me but shes my new role model

#i cant believe this people are for real #they stright up said everyone who hasnt been vaccinated for all these things yet raise your hand and well pay for it rn #barbara gordon is my new icon #also the wayne kid gave highfives to everyone who asked thats really nice of her #i cant believe rich people are just like this sometyimes #barbara gordon #wayne family #cassandra wayne #? #onlyingotham

#OnlyInGotham Robin knocked on my window at 11pm to ask me if I knew my neighbor's cat and who her owner was and if they were fitted to be a cat owner because "she's declawed, do you know how bad that is for cats?" and he then asked about my art supplies and we talked about art for like a good half hour and he sat there stroking my neighbor's cat the whole time

#i really love this robin you guys #only in gotham #val talks

botdogandrobin

Robin is so sweet <3 he really loves animals and it shows <3

tribbles-trouble-three

yes!! a few months back my dog had been lost/stolen and he brought it back to me! and he was really concerned told me that when he'd found Benji (my dog) it looked like he hadn't eaten/drank anything in a while and he'd given him water and a bit of food but he didn't know if Benji had any dietary restrictions or problems so he didn't want to give him much in case he was messing that up. and then he was concerned because he'd picked up ticks while he was gone and he recommended me this one brand of product and when I said that one was crazy expensive he was really understanding about it. but then he left and the next morning I found a basket full of (really good) expensive dog products perfectly tailored to Benji on my front door. like it must've been at least 400 dollars worth of products and he just.. gave them to me!!

Duke 🌻 @DukeThomas4

too late @Stephbbbb

[Video description: Stephanie Brown can be heard humming and mumbling the words to the Barbie Girl song but she's out of frame. We see a long, well-lit hallway with a few closed doors ending in a floor-to-ceiling window about five meters/sixteen feet away. We hear Stephanie get closer and a thump. Suddenly, Stephanie moves into frame. She's wearing gray and pink flannel shorts, a red crop top and blue crocs, her hair is up in a messy bun held by a purple scrunchie and she's got bulky green headphones covering her ears. You can faintly hear Barbie Girl coming from her headphones. She's skateboarding down the hall, her back to the camera and heading towards the window at the end of the hallway. Her speed doesn't change as she gets closer, the camera shakes, and just before she collides her hand comes up and she can be clearly heard yelling "SHIT!" She hits the window face first and falls to the side, laughter can be heard from behind the camera. Just before the video ends the camera shakily pans back up, zooms in, and a crack on the glass can be clearly seen where the skateboard hit the window.]

Duke 🌻 @DukeThomas4

smth that I love about Gotham is that while we're not even sure Batman is human (see: Batman is a vampire theory [1] [2] [3] [4], Robin is an eldritch entity theory [1], Robin is a trapped spirit/ghost theory [1] [2], Robin is immortal thoery [1] [2] [3], Batman is a literal part bat part man theory [1] [2], Batman isn't human theory recap [1] [2] [3], etc.) we absolutely know by name every villain in Gotham.

poison ivy? she gave ecoambiental talks in the park right next to where I lived as a kid when she was in her teens. riddler? I think he used to work in the GCPD. Harley Quinn? went to med school w/ my cousin and I think with Bruce Wayne too before he dropped out?? twoface was a lawyer and like a good one too

they're all just people we know. I saw penguin in a coffee shop once and he ordered a blueberry muffin with his coffee and I feel like I know him intimately now

EDIT: I'm not gonna out them! if you're from Gorham you know, if you don't I'm sorry but these are people with lives who don't do much other than inconvenience most of us and some light property destruction (and it's usually government property too. they know what they're doing). I'm not gonna tell you who they are just so y'all who don't even know then/are affected by them at all can go on an internet crusade. if you wanna go on an actual crusade someone kill Joker. if you're not gonna do that stay out of our business.

#gotham #only in gotham #batman #robin #riddler #poison ivy #harley quinn #two face #penguin #bruce wayne #joker mention #listen i get that they're all criminals but ivy harley and riddler are annoyances at most #twoface and penguin maybe are actual criminals who actually kill pople sometimes but still #if you aren't from gotham don't even look at this post
