#dc met gala

[lady-stirling]

When I tried to imagine Kory at a DC Met Gala about representing origins. I got some references from Xha'l~ 🌟 I wasn't going to post it because I didn't like the result, but I thought, why not? 🤷🏾‍♀️

X'hal references under the cut:

Stuntman

Jason Todd was a street kid, he never felt comfortable with the galas and millionaire activities Bruce attended. The first few days of his adoption he refused to leave his room, and Bruce was having a meltdown over one of his incoming events that required his new son's presence.

So, when he walked into the gala expecting criticism and gossip he didn't notice the boy next to him who was the same age as Jason. Or at least, he didn't until someone congratulated him on his new "son."

The boy introduced himself as "Danny" when he asked for his name. He wasn't thrilled with the galas his godfather forced him to attend and hated being alone, but he liked to play pranks on the rich. Which is why he didn't correct anyone when they called him Jason Todd.

Bruce came up with an idea after seeing his black hair and blue eyes and a few days later Jason and Danny were meeting. Bruce made the proposal to Danny to become Jason's "double" during the galas, and as long as he was in Gotham, the boy didn't see any problem. Better than being with Vlad.

Jason frowned not seeing the resemblance between them (he even told the boy) but Danny smiled and remarked that rich people were distracted, and as long as they didn't take pictures, they would never notice. A black-haired, blue-eyed boy was all they expected, and would be all they would see.

Still, Jason spent his days reminding him of their little differences, and how they were changing over time. Danny was amused by his concern. He thought it was kind of adorable that Jay was afraid of him being found out.

This arrangement went on for a long time. Until at some point Danny stopped responding, and shortly after Bruce stopped asking.

hc that there's a gala hosted on Jason's birthday to honour his memory, and every one of the Wayne kids is obviously required to attend. Jason, naturally, can't—being legally dead, and all—so he enjoys his night watching the security cameras with Babs. Popcorn in hand, he amusedly enjoys his siblings try to fumble their way through a whole gala centred around Jason, all while trying to pretend that he's still dead and they didn't talk to him literally a few hours prior.

Tim: Oh, I never got to officially meet Jason before he died, but from what I hear from Dick and Bruce, he was truly a great soul.

Jason, listening to this: He's totally tryin' not to explode 'cause I ate his pistachios earlier.

Babs: Tim likes pistachios?

Jason: Yea. They're his favourite, so I steal them all the time.

Babs, fondly amused: You know Tim's favourite snack?

Jason: Yeah, so I can steal it. Keep up, Barbie.

Babs: Sure.

Socialite: Dear, would you happen to have any stories about young Jason?

Dick, grinning: Absolutely! Just last w—I mean—the last time we went out shopping before he died. Yeah. That. Last time we went shopping he tripped on the escalator. Should've tied his shoelaces.

Jason: That happened last week.

The thing is, Dick has more free reign over answers, since he knew Jason before he died. Tim has a little bit of leeway, since he can chalk up any stories to small interactions he had with Jason as their neighbour. The rest of the kids, though? They have to keep their mouth shut, because if they slip up they'll be questions.

Things are fine until some of the socialites start 'discreetly' badmouthing Jason, saying that there shouldn't be such a big event happening for a glorified street rat. Jason himself isn't really affected by the comments, used to them already. He's pleasantly surprised when he sees every one of his siblings look absolutely livid on his behalf. He sees his siblings shut down every single rumour, even though they logically don't have to—rumours can't hurt the dead, after all. He watches as most of them defend him despite not being able to say anything about actually knowing him, and decides then and there; he has a call to make and paperwork to sign.

Time to defend himself—hanging out with and defending his siblings in public is just a bonus.

Dowd’s Crowd (dp x dc)

“Don’t look now, but Mr. Swanson is looking our way again,” Bernard says quietly, as he prepares to bite into his hors-d’oeuvre.

Sam groans. “I hate that guy.”

Bernard nods, his mouth full of pastry.

“You steal someone’s toupee one time and suddenly you’re a delinquent,” she continues, raising her glass for another sip of sparkling non-alcoholic cider.

“Everyone knew about it anyway,” Bernard agrees, having finished his mouthful. He looks into the distance wistfully. “Still, I wish I had been there to see it.”

“I wish we could leave already,” she gripes and her companion sighs.

“I’ve got a 30-minute quota of presence to fill,” he answers morosely. “We’re not even halfway through.”

Sam hums sympathetic. “Mom said I just had to stay the first five minutes if I wore a dress,” she tells him as she looks down at her pastel gown in disgust.

“You can leave, then,” Bernard says, sounding in even lower spirits than before. “I’m glad at least one of us gets to escape.”

Sam turns toward the other teen, barely stopping an eye-roll. “Please,” she says, “like I’d leave you alone with these losers. I’d like to think I’m a better friend than that.”

Bernard’s eyes go all big and starry. “Really?”

Sam actually rolls her eyes then. “Come on you big baby,” she says as she grabs his arm and starts dragging him away, towards the refreshment table. “Let’s go spike the punch.”

The Definition of Beauty

[bruciemilf]

It's just. Harvey is so self concious about his scars when literally, Gotham is entirely populated by freaks. You'd be weird if you DIDN'T want to fuck him.

Its like. My guy. My boy. Pookie. You're like 6'6, with 10 inches below probably, and look like this,

If anything, give me Two-Face who thinks he's proof God exists, and liked him particularly. "You were ugly long before I got here, I got nothin' to do with that."

And hey, look, if Bruce Wayne was so down bad for me, riding my face like a goddam roller-coaster, I'd be pretty cocky too

[renaissance35]

My favorite outfit is Cassandras I went all out😆💯

These dazzling dresses were supposed to be the batfamily girls outfits for the met gala this year🤩🙏

But, I never finished them I had Carrie Kelly (robin) and Harper Row (blue bird) to do 😓 but I will finish them and post them up as soon as I can.👗👠

If you needed to know, the pearls are all on each dress in individual places hiding in plain sight. Well I hope you have a great night.☺️

Here’s my piece from Starfire: A Fashion Zine

I went for a floral MET gala look. I have a post up on the process and also some closeups of three of the other heroes attending. <_<

Jason “mega thighs” Todd should wear this to a Wayne Gala

[wawa-cupcakes]

If there was a Wayne themed Met Gala in the DCU absolutely NONE of the Wayne’s would show up

Poison Ivy at the Met

To the people of Gotham, have yall seen Poison Ivy's outfit at the met gala it was absolutely beautiful, absolutely phenomenal 😍 .

Like wow she's looked stunning and really fit the theme of "Gardens of Time" the dress was amazing and I'm so lucky I got to see it. Rumor has it she made it herself but she did have help designing it. I wish we could see other Gotham Rouges there, maybe Brucie Wayne at a gala would be super cool.

Who would've thought she's be at the met, her dress was just so pretty I can't get over how pretty it was ans how it fit the theme.

(I'm aware this one is kinda short just been busy)

Ok so the met gala is going on right now. And I am forever plagued by thoughts of batman. So I was wondering what Bruce would do with the met. I mean, I bet his parents were avid donors to the arts and would have been donating to the metropolitan museum for years. And I bet Martha loves these galas so I feel like Bruce would still donate/attend in her honour. Plus, he's big enough of a celebrity to receive an invite.

Now when it comes to fashion I think he plays his suit types more on the safe side, sticking to traditional silhouettes, but follows the theme and gets a bit more experimental with color and fabric choice. Going off the latest met gala theme, karl lagerfeld: a line of beauty, I feel like he would wear something like this

Which was designed by Karl. However, since lagerfeld was a shitty person I want Bruce to "ruin" his design by adding stuff to it like maybe some pearl and gold chain accents or maybe switch out some of the pieces with articles of clothing made by the people Karl didn't want in the fashion industry. Or maybe, switch out some of the fabrics to be made out of sweatpants material. It would butcher everything Karl stood for.

Also, just a quick side thing, I feel like dick would absolutely kill it at the met. And that camp theme year? He would have slayed. Anyways, I have many thoughts and might draw Bruce and dick if they went to the met.
