What's the Met Gala?
What’s the Met Gala?
This years met gala was certainly a bit toned down from last years punk theme. Not to worry, this year’s theme “Charles James: Beyond Fashion” had a wide range of looks from edgy to ultra femme. I was chatting with a few friends at the lunch table today when I realized that a lot of people don’t actually know what the Met Gala is or why it is important. So here’s a little 101 for those of you who…

Okay Internet! I have a question!
So you know how some beloved childhood favorites (ie, Hello Kitty, the Smurfs, etc.) Are described as being three apples tall?
But the question is- what apple? Like, what specific apple? Could be random, yes. Am I crazy to think this? Also yes.
But it's just bugging me since they never specify the apple!
Apples come in all sizes and shapes, right? And that also includes height and stackability. So what apple would be a reasonable apple to measure our beloved Smurf friends or Kitty companion? Out of curiosity?
Tips for writing those gala scenes, from someone who goes to them occasionally:
Generally you unbutton and re-button a suit coat when you sit down and stand up.
You’re supposed to hold wine or champagne glasses by the stem to avoid warming up the liquid inside. A character out of their depth might hold the glass around the sides instead.
When rich/important people forget your name and they’re drunk, they usually just tell you that they don’t remember or completely skip over any opportunity to use your name so they don’t look silly.
A good way to indicate you don’t want to shake someone’s hand at an event is to hold a drink in your right hand (and if you’re a woman, a purse in the other so you definitely can’t shift the glass to another hand and then shake)
Americans who still kiss cheeks as a welcome generally don’t press lips to cheeks, it’s more of a touch of cheek to cheek or even a hover (these days, mostly to avoid smudging a woman’s makeup)
The distinctions between dress codes (black tie, cocktail, etc) are very intricate but obvious to those who know how to look. If you wear a short skirt to a black tie event for example, people would clock that instantly even if the dress itself was very formal. Same thing goes for certain articles of men’s clothing.
Open bars / cash bars at events usually carry limited options. They’re meant to serve lots of people very quickly, so nobody is getting a cosmo or a Manhattan etc.
Members of the press generally aren’t allowed to freely circulate at nicer galas/events without a very good reason. When they do, they need to identify themselves before talking with someone.

Well without more to say I hope you all like them more than me (◠‿◕)👍💖
I want more Brucie Wayne Content. I can’t get enough of the man embarrassing the shit out of himself. It’s addicting.
But I also want to see Brucie breaking character when he’s in a room with a reporter.
I want to see Bruce literally dumping himself on a love seat and Jason just passes him an unlit cigarette (ehem), which Tim (yes, Tim) lights up with his random ass lighter. Then I want to read the reporter slowly losing their goddamn minds. Because,
“This can’t be Brucie Wayne! He’s the Prince of Gotham!”
“Aren’t they suppose to be the happy, pleasant family that donates money that seems to never end?”
To which I want Bruce to respond with,
“I am the Prince of Gotham. But remember, Joker is the Clown Prince of crime in Gotham. If he’s Crime, then I have to be the Prince of something too, don’t I?”
Then his kids all surrounding him are just snickering to each other.
Okay, it would be hilarious if Damian joined in pointing at each other out of shear confusion and feeling left out. Another photo is sent to the bat family group chat and chaos ensues once more. From then on, that photo is the one they use every time they want to use the meme.
Maybe Bruce and Vlad ends up co-parenting the quadruplet demon kids? And in turn all of the bat family. Vlad doesn't know how to feel about the amount of kids, he just wanted a perfect son, and now he could create a football team with his kids. Bruce has long resign to getting new kids every time he steps out of the mansion, he's not even going to address the teasing.
DPxDC Demon Children Are Multiplying
This idea is still stuck in my head, and I might even end up writing something out of it, but for now, I just thought of something equally really, really stupid and really, really funny.
What if I combine that idea with Al Ghul Twins. I don't know how. Maybe Talia was cautious about Ra's not wanting to keep two kids for a position of Heir, or maybe she staged Danny's death, or maybe something else entirely happened. But anyway, Danny is Damian's twin.
Then, Dani is the same age as Danny in this AU. And Dan is de-aged to be the same age as both of them.
Now behold an absolute train wreck of a situation where Bruce attends a Gala hosted by Vladimir Masters. Together with Damian, of course, and maybe other batkids are there too. They all part their ways to make their rounds or whatnot. And they all keep seeing Damian wherever they go. Just everywhere.
Dick is talking to someone, and Damian walks past him, not paying him any attention. Which is not surprising, but a little rude, and, wait, wasn't he wearing a red tie? When did he change it to green one?
Tim is just going on the top floor to greet a lady he recognizes from some other event, and Damian all but storms in the opposite direction, only letting Tim catch a glimpse of his face. But when Tim turns around, he is really confused: the person running down the stairs is clearly a girl, albeit she is wearing a suit. Her long hair is up in a complicated braid. Why did he even mistake her for Damian?
But the ultimate confusion happens when Bruce is talking to Vladimir Masters, and a very familiar voice calls, "Father". Because both he and Vladimir turn to face the boy and ask, "Yes?" at the same time.
Damian is standing there, looking between Bruce and Vlad. He looks a little off somehow, but before Bruce can figure out why, the boy blinks and focuses on Vlad.
"We've been looking for you," he tells the man, and, wait, when was Damian looking for Masters? Furthermore, who is we?
But then another child comes closer. And-
That's Damian.
That's two Damians.
Wait, no, none of them are Damians.
"What is it?" Vladimir raises an eyebrow, not paying too much attention to Bruce's blanched expression.
A third child comes towards them, and this one also looks like Damian, only this one is a girl.
"Template's duplicate is here," she says, and Vlad frowns, turning to the Damian lookalike in the middle.
"Have you had another incident that I don't know of?"
Whatever answer the boy wanted to give is cut off by a n o t h e r child who looks like- no, this is real Damian, thank God, Bruce had started to wonder if the champagne was spiked with hallucinogens.
"Father-" he stops in his tracks as the three other children turn to him, and the four of them just stare at each other for a long moment. Then the one in the middle takes a sharp breath in and stage-whispers:
"Quick, do the meme!"
And all three not-Damians start pointing at each other.
Bruce is going to have an aneurysm. Judging by Vladimir's face, he is also not far from one.
Just my ramblings under the cut
I think you all know what meme I'm talking about, but I'm still gonna add it
This is so fucking hilarious to me, I'm sorry, I just can't
Danny is not missing this opportunity of a lifetime, even though Vlad specifically asked all three of them not to cause a scene. And yes, they all call Vlad "father" just for the spite of it or for shits and giggles. I'm going with Bad Fentons idea here, although I'm not sure to which degree they are bad, but anyway, Vlad is their legal guardian, and he is redeemed.
Yes, Dick took a picture. Yes, it's already in the group chat. Yes, other batkids are going wild.
Damian is greatly confused because, first, he thought there was a clone of him at the gala, but apparently, there were three of them, and second, why are they pointing at each other? Should he join them? He is under the assumption his brother is dead (he's not exactly wrong on that account), or he doesn't even know he existed.
This is as far as I got now, feel free to add anything!

Fun Danny at a gala with Vlad
Vlad is on his way of his redemption arc and invited Danny at a gala that Vlad was invited on at Wayne Manor, and Danny thought splitting would be okay again.
So now Danny is here.... The Fun Danny and Fun Danny is not having fun cuz of the suit and all.
Where is the Hero Danny? He's floating around the Manor invisible just in case he sees a villain trying to mess things up cuz apparently, villains tend to attack.
Vlad said it's unnecessary since, you know, Vlad "Ex-creep dracula villain" Masters is here to protect if anything bad happens.
But anyways, Vlad didn't want to meet Bruce but had to come cuz Vlad's got a reputation to keep and Danny was curious about this and sees Brucie Wayne persona and reminded him a liiitttllee bit of Jack Fenton so Fun Danny came to relax a bit and talked with Brucie while Vlad avoids the man and went to get some punch.
Brucie: I didn't know Vlad had a son?
Fun Danny, who likes to exaggerate a lot and mess around: He wished I was so he kidnapped me.
Brucie, thinking it was some inside joke: Oh? When did that happen?
Fun Danny: When he finally stops trying to kill my dad, marry my mom and cloning me.
Brucie, who is now realizing that this kid may not be lying but also lying: That's... That's strange...?
Fun Danny: Could be worse— *Cue on the ceiling gets broken due to Hero Danny's impact falling*
Hero Danny, who is wrestling a villain: Run, weak humans! Theres a villain!
Fun Danny, who is looking at Hero Danny and Hero Danny catching the eye contact: Oh no.
Hero Danny: You! Normal citizen I never heard or met before! You gotta help me!
Fun Danny: Really?! Me?? Why not Vlad!?
Hero Vlad: I see no hero in him
Vlad: I heard that!
