The best knockoff gala experience is when it’s a Wayne gala night but when you pull up to Bat-Burger, Bruce Wayne and all of his kids are there. 

Knockoff Galas

My last post made it sound as if I absolutely hate Gala-Season, but honestly one of my favorite Gotham traditions stems from Gala-Season:

Knockoff Galas

Let me explain:

Most people have a Knockoff Gala on one of two occasions.

Either they do one on the first and last day of Gala-Season, or they do one on the day of the biggest Gala (Which is almost always the Wayne charity-Gala). (Me and my friends do the latter)

What it is, is that we dress up in whatever formal-wear we have (really anything goes: thrifted, from Walmart, Target or handmedowns) and go to eat at some fastfood joint. (my friendgroup's venue of choice being red-robin)

Sometimes people go to some house-party afterwards or they go home to watch a movie toghether or something.

It doesn't really matter as It's mostly just about sharing the fun of the Galas and spending time together.

So if you're new in Gotham, or here for vacation, don't be shocked when one night you suddenly see alot of people in formal clothes. They are just taking part in one of my favorite Gotham-traditions.

And if you are from Gotham, feel free to share your favorite thing about Knockoff Galas.

Should probably stop calling Killer Moth ‘Mothman’ before he makes good on his name, but his voice gets all high-pitched and buzzy when he’s mad, which is hilarious, and he can’t actually tell which one of us keep writing it on his coffee cup so I’ll just keep doing it ig.

It’s legal to throw rocks at the Joker actually.

Whenever Bruce Wayne adopt a child take a shot of Lemonade

The Joker attacking Gotham U and destroying a whole bunch of student art is my entire class’s villain origin story.

I’m loving the new solidarity on my floor. I’ve felt so isolated since I moved to Gotham, but it’s really starting to become more like home now that Erik and Ava have moved in (they’re the family I mentioned in my last post).

We all sat out in the hall to eat dinner today and it was so much fun. Things are looking up.

That would be awesome! We only know three other non-villain metas between eight of us so we’re definitely out of our depth. Having someone experienced would definitely help.

There’s a new family on our floor. A single dad and his daughter. He is just a normal guy. She is a tiny little metahuman with telekinesis. 

We had a little corridor meeting and have come to the conclusion that every single one of us would die for this child so I guess their family has now expanded to include three college students, an retired boxer, and that twitch streamer who livestreamed herself throwing rocks at the Joker.

It’s gotten to the point where most of the rogues hang around the coffee shop so often that we’re basically besties. I do crosswords with the Riddler and Two Face. Bane shows me memes he’s collected on his phone. We have karaoke nights whenever there’s a mass Arkham breakout because it stops everyone causing trouble for one evening so the bats can get some rest.

Oh ya, so Booster Gold came over to pick up Skeets and he gave me a coupon for free Booster Gold cereal for life because I didn’t sell his best friend for scrap. 

So I now have two sources of infinite Booster Gold cereal, since my friend still sends me his. I feel like this is a bad business model but who am I to tell an actual superhero how to run their brand? I will also not be complaining because I love cereal and I am a hungry student.

I was so caught up in having a future robot in my living room that I forgot yesterday was April fools day. I am so glad no one attacked my building because I would have simply died. 

[gotham-city-exclusive]

I’m honestly not sure if they actually sell it here. I get mine from a friend in Metropolis, who won a lifetime supply but doesn’t even eat cereal so he just sends it to me instead.

Okay so good news: whatever issue got the JL into Gotham yesterday has been dealt with (don’t ask me what it was, I don’t read the news. Probably aliens)

Not necessarily bad, but kinda weird news: this little robot thing got blasted through my window (which I am going to have to get replaced again) and I have no idea what to do with him. He doesn’t appear to want to cause me any harm but I think he got damaged and can’t fly his way home. He’s very polite though, and apologised profusely for the window, which was nice of him. 

So if anyone is missing a little gold robot (he’s small and vaguely oval shaped, with a red lights on his display screen), he says his name is Skeets and he’s happy to get picked up whenever is convenient.

Booster Gold?? Like,, the guy on my cereal box? He’s real????? He’s an actual superhero in the actual Justice League? Oh my god I thought he was a made up character like Captain Crunch, this is so embarrassing.

Living in Gotham, you don’t necessarily worry when you see a member of the bat family because they probably have whatever they’re doing under control. You do, however, begin to feel somewhat concerned when you see a member of the Justice League who usually has enough good sense to stay out of the city. 

Haha anyway, on that note, anyone know why Martian Manhunter and Hawkgirl are flying around the Otisburg area??

Hey lads, sorry for not posting in a while or interacting with anyone. The revision crunch is hitting me really hard because I’m getting to the end of my A-levels and I’m trying to balance studying, art coursework, and multiple internet presences and it just isn’t working well during term time. 

I’ve got a 3 week break starting tomorrow so I’ll probably pick up posting again very soon but yeah, that’s why I’ve been lost to the void for a while.

I always end up making some pretty dark stuff for my art projects and I think I’m on Gotham U’s future villain watchlist. I promise I’m not gonna snap and start carving people up for art, I’m just eccentric and like making horrific custom dolls for my stop-motion movies 😭😭😭
