Good on Blaise for whistleblowing. Instead of dressing as a firework and hanging out with kiteman.
Sometimes he wishes he went the classic Rogues route because at least that would garner notoriety and maybe Batman would've offered a hand. Instead, he got evicted since no job = no rent and splits his time between living out of Milo's car in Rob's parking lot or couch-surfing at the friends who are able to have him
What the hell did Otto experience in the army?
His bi-curious awakening in the summer of '69
Criminal intern makes it sound like criminal is a licensed profession in Gotham.
"yes officer, here is my criminal licence, you can arrest me now"
Actually it absolves them of blame because it's like "don't like it? take it up with the manager"
What company did Blaise work for that ignored safety? Because it would be hilarious if it was a hand railing manufacturer.
He worked for a company that did concert pyrotechnics. His boss was always cutting corners and ignored multiple warnings for safety, but Blaise put up with it because he liked pyrotechnics and enjoyed the people he worked with, including his childhood best friend Charlie Burns. It all changed at a concert when a faulty piece of fireworks equipment resulted in Charlie getting permanently injured. Blaise ghosted his job for a couple weeks as he grappled with self-blame as he felt he should've taken more of a stand against their boss, and after getting officially fired for abandonment, he turned his anger outward. What officially set him on his criminal course was a month of stalking his former boss, gathering incriminating evidence, leaking everything to the Gotham Gazette as an anonymous whistleblower, and burning the boss's office to the ground as a final act of revenge
Petition to get Sue D. Nym associated with the Gooners
Request granted
Susan Dolores Nym (née Lawson) is a corporate lawyer, hobbyist costume designer, and Gene's ex-wife who is now married to a man named Anton Nym and lives in the affluent downtown Gotham. She has full custody of her and Gene's 8-year-old daughter, Kitty. She actually abhors Gene's activities and only keeps in contact with him for the sake of their daughter because for all his misgivings, he is still a loving father. It takes a lot to convince her to aid the Gooners with her ability to create disguises, and even then she does the bare minimum to get them off her back because she doesn't wanna jeopardize the picture-perfect mother/lawyer image she cultivated for herself
The Jason goon that dated Dick knows the Gooners. Bet.
I can't believe you guys still remember them
It was Milo's estranged half-brother Royce, who originally started out working for a smaller gang out of misplaced anger at Milo for supposedly breaking their family, but that gang was quickly absorbed by Red Hood's operations (he's 22 btw so the relationship is okay)
Gooner's plans for valentine's day?
Rob hates Valentine's Day to the point where he scratches it out on his calendar. Still, his kids will make cards at school and they'd watch his late wife's favorite movies together while he has a picture of her on the end table
Blaise and Molly have a will-they-won't-they kind of dynamic and they're not sure what to make of Valentine's—whether they should act like just friends or something else. They wind up hanging out the singles in their separate friend groups but are constantly checking their phones and texting each other
Otto, being 70, is a little old-fashioned. He surprises his wife with flowers and breakfast in bed, then after work they dress up and go to the same restaurant they've been going to for years and have a nice dinner followed by a long drive
Milo has had his eye on an exchange student at school and right now he's just trying to get closer, which is a little challenging considering they're on different rungs of the social ladder. He plans on approaching her at school with a note he spent all night agonizing over
Mac and his long-term girlfriend are homebodies whose idea of a date night is ordering pizza and playing World of Warcraft in their pajamas
Gene still has lingering feelings for his ex-wife but he's been making an effort to move on, so this Valentine's Day he matched with someone online and is going on his first date in a long time at a local café
Kellin is familiar with the concept of Valentine's Day but it was never celebrated in his childhood and they don't see any reason to start now. So instead, they meet Booker at a favorite ramen place because Booker needed help with homework (which is odd, since he's normally the one helping others)
#onlyingotham do you find out the buff guy in the appartment next to you is actually Red Hood because he crawled through your window instead of his at 3am
@incorrectbatfam is this the same apt building as the Gotham gooners?
Yes. Jason once crawled through the wrong window and was met with a Home Alone style booby trap set up by Milo and the twins. It's the only real W the Gooners ever have had against the batfam
Do you think Kellin will ever have a falling out with any of the others? Their methods and morals seem a bit extreme in comparison.
The short answer: Rob doesn't care as much about morals as he does about methods, because at the end of the day it's about getting a job done right. They do indeed clash when it comes to that, which I explore in a fic here (please check it out this took me a long time). However, the Gooners don't have any solid rules outside of not betraying each other since they come from a spectrum of criminal backgrounds (except Booker, but I have a whole other thing for him). Whether or not they hurt people, they figure it out on a case-by-case basis. Also, all of them (not just Kellin) have a tendency to cycle through the same mistakes, which are conversations I wanna delve into as I keep writing.
Bet Poison Ivy's plant tutorials don't work very well for people without plant powers. This is why Pamela Isley doesn't like being reminded of her OLD tutorials. She had issues.
Woah woah woah, Blaise is 26 and Kellin is 20? I always imagined that reversed?
Okay, so I want a little angst fic where Robs twins and Milo get kidnapped, and the kidnapper is doing the whole cliche thing with ‘cHoOsE oNe, will your twins or Milo live??’ and, Rob thinks, it should be obvious, right? Pick ur twins! But, it’s a difficult decision, he can’t let any of them die, and he’s stressing Tf out. Like, Milo is fourteen! And the twins love him! (Kinds? He bullies them sometimes but it’s fineee)
At the end, the bats come and save them, but it’s still an eye opening experience.
The Gooners Christmas kidnapping fic that exactly one (1) person asked for

Where did Milo find 144 lobsters?!?
Wait Rob ACTIVELY wanted an intern? I thought Booker just showed up one day? Also why do they need an intern?
Actually it went a little something like this:
Have the Gooners had any direct or indirect encounters with any supervillains?
Would the batfam just arrest the gooners right away?
The bats are trained for things like armed gunman, toxic chemicals, mutant creatures, alien invasions, advanced tech, mind games, and deadly superpowers
What they are not prepared for is twelve dozen lobsters released by a teenager in a Chewbacca mask
