and we're back! i've been working on this for a bazillion years - simple concept was not so simple when i forced myself to do backgrounds instead of The White Void, enjoy the nonsensical lighting a funny that helped me get through my essays this semester and some rambling under the cut...

thanks miah, with me for every wordcount

[+] first panel's meant to be a nod to when bruce buys that club - in no way meant to resemble it visually though, second is a classic fanfic *oh.* moment because they deserve it (un-italicised but you get the gist) [+] i love the idea that jeremiah is an avid Gazette reader/tabloid peruser

[+] i've got so many WIPs of these two its unbearable (and jerome makes a brief appearance) they might make it here one day if i'm brave [+] sort of desperate to mesh Gotham and Yellowjackets together in a horrendous amalgam (happy finale eve to all those discerning!) because i am obsessed with shauna and i see so many links between her and jeremiah ... maybe because i relate to them both but we don't need to get into that! i think bruce would be a very natalie-esque type figure? (pinch of jackie) all that aside i wouldn't want to overrun Yellowjackets with men so we'll see

the girls are fighting! this was meant to be for fun and then i went insane locating parallels instead... which was also fun! despite jeremiah being my favourite character i also have a soft spot for selina - and their little similarities may be why, from their rocky relationship with bruce to their overindulgence in violence... even bruce's concern when they're both going over the deep end then at the end parallels between bruce/selina and ecco/jeremiah in their respective fights... rewatched the ecco and selina fight in particular and the amount of pet names threw me for a loop "curls", "puddin'", "delicious"!? I never considered them before but what a perfectly viable ship! there is yuri everywhere for those with the eyes to see /ref

i feel bad posting two edits in a row instead of any artwork but i'm super proud with how these came out :) you can see the rest of my edits on my tiktok account (also: dsoqueerious) but i don't recommend the ones before Art is Dead, they're a bit janky - maybe if you're brave my rambling and explanations under the cut + pinch of character analysis ... maybe more like a ladleful

with Art is Dead i wanted to capture jeremiah's relationship with his brother and, on the flipside, bruce both are heavily tainted with obsession, he definitely harbours a lot of hatred for jerome but i think there is quintessentially some quite heavy jealousy there? jeremiah is so terribly repressed before the gas, it's the insanity that frees him, sort of remakes him in jerome's image (or, arguably, returns him to how he should be or truly was according to his brother) jerome does what he wants, he's an unstoppable force (until he is stopped, but even then he lives on through jeremiah) meanwhile jeremiah has been constrained all his life under various authority figures - at haly's it was lila and his uncle, at ignatius he had the wildes and other guardians it's his fear of jerome (and long-held intention to trap him) that feeds into a life a little closer to independence, he is needed by meyer and hayes, he gets to choose what projects he works on and approach them through ecco - even when working on wayne plaza at such a young age, thomas wayne is the one to ask after him, pursuing his involvement, there is an opportunity for yes or no but it's also what keeps him held underground, i can only imagine the resentment paired with the constant reminder his own face provides he surely believes himself more civilised than jerome, a thought which lends him quite a clear sense of superiority, but he will never be as free as him - which was what i was trying to get across? succeeding? failing? who knows the second half is all bruce bruce bruce, who is his... habit it will always fascinate me that for a man so paranoid and so keenly aware of the danger jerome poses - jeremiah immediately folds to bruce, all it took was one earnest speech and he was pulling his blazer on this, plus his reaction to the gift from wayne enterprises - i assume this was vetted by ecco beforehand which is why it's in the bunker in the first place - and complete lack of distrust towards it ... despite jerome's foreshadowing ... it's safe to say jeremiah attached himself fairly immediately to bruce heavily in part because of his seclusion, i imagine, but also their shared struggles over jerome - they both feel an immense sense of responsibility over him and this definite need for control bruce had to involve himself on ground zero the second jerome resurfaced and jeremiah was prepared to trap his brother indefinitely in place of arkham or blackgate in his bunker, as his ultimate project also agreeing to bankroll the generator project and house them at wayne enterprises is fairly immediate for bruce too, now that sense of responsibility extends to encapsulate jeremiah, i'm sure it wasn't just out of compassion or interest (though both play their own role) but also the need to be involved - to be his own surveillance and control what he can they both have their masks (or makeup, used here) bruce's slips quite severely during ace chemicals, and coming out of the end of jeremiah's self-appointed mission to unveil the truth of him, he isn't the same man as selina says, 'bruce, your ego' when it comes to him forcing himself into the gcpd's hunt for jerome - he has always seen himself as a superior authority: if the gcpd can't find my parents' killer, i can / private school can't teach me, i will teach myself / constantly claiming to know better than alfred or jim / fully taking over his position on the board as a child / i have to catch jerome before they do this is usually laced with some kind of guilt, but him injecting himself into jeremiah's work is almost preparatory - just like jeremiah's contingency plans, they are both methodical they both demand/secure each-other's attention in different ways, bruce's manner is decidedly more background and jeremiah's is literally shouting it in his face with 50 bombs exploding behind him that's enough out of me! thank you very much if you've read any of this, i feel like i just blacked out and then came to with a great big wall of text

been working on these for almost a week now... LET ME OUT (creds to @the_angler_mann on twt for the concept/text etc. on the top right) you can check out the polished zooms under the cut and my rambling

[+] jerome and jeremiah doodle is meant to be them working together instead of jerome meeting his fate (still gasses miah though, what can i say they have a tumultuous relationship) & the song he's singing is Bohemian Rhapsody i do think he would rub in their mother's death for the funny [+] jeremiah fiddling with the tie is meant to be representative of him stimming! it will always upset me that we didn't get to see them working together more extensively before the spray, obviously the creation of the initial generator took a long time (then there's the bulk mass-production they did at Wayne Enterprises) but instead we get a jumpcut... mourning not being able to see more scenes of pre-spray jeremiah though if i had it my way half the show would be about jeremiah regardless so perhaps i shouldn't have a say in the matter [+] arkham!miah is from a concept where bruce tries to reverse the effects of the insanity gas - there is no universe where jeremiah would be kept in arkham unless it was some way voluntary imo (like him lying in wait for 10 years for bruce's return) [+] memes made by me :] you can probably tell because they're super shoddy, thank you pinterest for the bases

Soooo excited to see a blog with recently posted Gotham content

thank youu! <3 it's been 4 straight months of me only thinking about jeremiah so it's safe to say i'm not going anywhere anytime soon

disclaimer: this isn't ship art happy (late) new year everybody! coming back to my blog to see all the love for my latest post was really spectacular thank you all so much ^^ here's older selina and jeremiah - i've had this idea for a while now that jerome and jeremiah both learned sleight of hand at haly's (you see it somewhat with jerome's knife tricks on the show) AND that, if not for y'know... the incident, jeremiah and selina could have been friends (she would probably call him a nerd a bunch) also think jeremiah would have little to no qualms about stealing considering the circumstances of his and jerome's childhood - but i imagine he would give everything back after the 'game' under the guise that he'd found all the bling on the floor

based on the headcanon(?) that Jeremiah got his affinity for makeup from watching his mom put it on [+] her design is vaguely based on the 10 second clip of her body [+] she would get Jeremiah to gossip/make fun of the other families at the circus (especially the mothers) as a drunken pastime - bonus points if he said something particularly cruel [+] was considering including Jerome here too but it's pretty fitting for Lila to pretend she doesn't have another kid apart from her "golden boy", even though they're identical...

[dsoqueerious]

the jeremiahs from my banner (that got cut-off) and pfp really happy with how they turned out ^^ gotta try Bruce or Selina next time

getting their colours down for referencing :3 Jeremiah's suit is a mix of the concept art for it and the actual outcome - Jerome's is a little simplified but mostly accurate
