LAST MAN STANDING,

IND. JIM GORDON SIDEBLOG TO @BRUZ3R

[lawnexus]

𝚂𝙸𝚁𝙴𝙽𝚂 𝙲𝙾𝙼𝙸𝙽𝙶. 𝚈𝙾𝚄'𝙳 𝙱𝙴𝚃𝚃𝙴𝚁 𝙶𝙾.

𝐋𝐀𝐖𝐍𝐄𝐗𝐔𝐒. a jim gordon sideblog presented by @bruz3r and affiliated with @datanexus . primary inspirations are the comics and the arkham games. mutuals only and iconless. minors dni.

This will be a very low activity blog and  slow and selective.

All muses are comics-based, majorly Pre-52 influenced and majorly headcanon based.

This will strictly be a mutuals only blog, since activity may be sporadic if at all. 

Also I will be iconless because lazy but would still prefer if partners can cut or shorten their posts when necessary. Otherwise, formatting isn’t a big issue.

JIM GORDON aka GCPD COMMISSIONER. 

Pre-52 origin with minor N52 influence.

Father to Barbara and James Gordon Jr.

Currently married to Sarah Essen ( BECAUSE I LOVE HER )

Currently commissioner, working close with Renee Montoya and Harvey Bullock.

He’s a man thorough with the law and not afraid of shooting down a dangerous criminal but holds a similar respect for the law as Batman does.

He is aware of most of the Batman Family but mainly stays closer communication with the Batman. 

Loves his daughter a lot. That’s his princess. 

Would shoot the Joker. Thank you.

broose going on a "trip" for jim's retirement party so he can go crazy :)

[lawnexus]

what's actually ridiculous and nonsensical is how writers like to pretend that bruce and jim are even in the same moral plane. my guy's a cop that has killed and shot down people. he can shoot the joker man.

"You were never the worst of them. That's the part that breaks you the most, isn't it? You didn't take the bribes. You didn't look away. You stood up when others knelt. And still, Gotham swallowed the children whole. How many calls came in too late? How many red lights blurred past your siren because one more innocent was less urgent than the system itself? You tell yourself it matters. That order is worth the erosion. But your bones creak from the burden, Jim. And deep down you wonder: Was it all just maintenance? Keeping the machine from stalling so that crime could move like traffic and you could still pretend you were steering? You raised a daughter in this place. Taught her to be better. And what did she become? Another soldier in the dark. Another echo of your compromise. You light the signal. You call the Bat. But have you ever truly asked yourself, why must Gotham need a god to feel safe? Why must a good man only be relevant when the monsters come out to play? Retirement whispers like a bullet casing. Empty. Spent. And still you grip the badge like it might one day mean peace. But you know better, don't you? Because Gotham never stops. It only waits."

“ Bullshit. “ It’s sharp. Derogatory. A whip that lashes against the roof of his mouth. He’s seen the city at it’s core. And it’s a boy covered in the blood of his parents putting on a mask every night. It’s good people and bad people laying waste to the machination of lesser and bigger evils than them. And that’s the thing – they’re just people. Good and bad. Monsters and alike. “ Gotham’s a shitty place, not because of the people. It’s a shitty place because people think doing the hard work, doing the right thing, and fighting for the good people is just a failsafe until the next bad thing comes out of the wood work. “ Jaw clench around the words. “ It’s bullshit. All a load of bullshit.  A gun’s just a gun until you aim it at someone. And a city’s just a city. “

I'M SORRY THAT ITS BEEN 3 DAYS AND I LITERALLY JUST SAW THE RUDE ANON here in Jim's inbox. How dare you. Also, I'll reply after a quick shower.

" You gotta put that gun down, son. " He remarked as calmly as he could in the moment. His gaze sharp and his hand firmly on the trigger. He knows better, of course, but it didn't mean he was going to stand there exposed. " I just want to talk, @normaltothemax. "

[lawnexus]

Mayhaps this is a starter call since I can't do anything on Bruce apparently.

"I love you, dad. I hope I tell you that enough." Happy father's day to the best dad to have ever been created

There's a strain of weariness around the edges. Drained from the day's work. But the light never wavers. His warmth is obvious even now. Even through the haze and dust on his glasses. He pushes it up, tucks it over his head and behind his ear, as if his weary and blurred vision would be made clearer by the act. But then again, he'd recognize his daughter anywhere.

" I love you too, princess. " He smiled, the weariness more apparent in his voice. " Don't you ever forget it, @datanexus. "

𝚂𝙷𝙴 𝙵𝙴𝙻𝚃 𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙰𝚁𝙶𝚄𝙼𝙴𝙽𝚃 𝙱𝚁𝙴𝚆𝙸𝙽𝙶.  That constant pushback he's given since she was a child.  His concerns were valid.  She'd be lying if she argued otherwise, but so were hers.  Her father, in spite of everything, remained a good-hearted man, one that put more than a handful of crosshairs on him.  Crosshairs that have done nothing but narrow in on him and time would never be on their side.  It was apparent in every new wrinkle etched across his features, or the liver spots that dared peak out on the back of his hands.

〝  Are you really asking me of all people if I remember something?  〞  Barbara arches a brow and offers a quick look his way.  〝  Dad,  〞 she sighs, 〝  Don't try to change the subject on me, you know that's not going to work.  We're working on things, trying to do things the right way  . . .  if there even is a right way to do anything of this.  〞  She lets out another sigh, shoulder's slumping as she leans against the table.  He was always too damn good at turning the conversation on her in a way that could create a haze in her mind.  〝 What if,  〞 she starts, 〝  we struck a deal?  〞

Sometimes, he gets the inkling. In the face of immediate tragedy, the choice for recourse. As if a change in scenery is all it would take for everything in his life to find it’s place. But he went from Chicago to Gotham City. And maybe it’s him – or maybe it’s just the city that’s grown on him. 

He just knew there was no quittin. He thought she knew that by now. 

“ No. That was rhetorical, honey. “ He argued, smiling. The barest of curves bristling his mustache. It’s followed by a little chuckle when he’s realized his little attempt at distraction did work out. Even a little bit. They never really teach you that sometimes dealing with your own kids is a hostage negotiation where they clean you all out and leave you with very little dignity. Usually, anyway. “ Okay. “ A sip of his water. “ What deal? “

〝  I'm always going to worry, dad.  〞  There's a childish whine in her voice that only ever comes out in his presence.  〝  Just because you're spryly, doesn't mean you should be putting yourself in danger all the time.  Don't you think you should at least consider who you think would take your place?  〞  Arms fold over herself as a pout forms.  There was going to be push back.  A lot of pushback and she knew it.  That good old Gordon pride.

His face scrunched up with all it’s wrinkles and lines ; all evidences of a life long lived. Strains and bruises and all. But whatever essence of annoyance dared to telegraph onto his features never quite transfigured into a permanent fixture. 

Jim Gordon’s fondness fort his daughter won out. 

“ You remember where we live? “ He argued knowingly ; the barest hint of teasing and the slight scratch of a laugh in his throat as he pushed the glasses up the bridge of his nose. “ Oh come on, i’ve still got a few years in me. And this city still needs me. “ And yet somehow its those words that give him a little pause. A weight in the pit of his lungs. “ When are you two settling down anyway. Hm? “ A hail mary from the old man but a question he’d very much like to get to the bottom to nonetheless.

Obligatory we love @datanexus post.

[lawnexus]

baby babs sick in bed and cant go to school has appeared :(

There are reports due. And taking the day off meant more was going to pile on his desk come tomorrow but one look at his little girl and the decision was made for him. Mustache rustles slightly with his smile. His weight sinking into her bedside and hand gently running through her hair.

“ Guess who doesn’t have to leave bed today, princess? “ A finger points conspiratorially between the two of them. “ What are we going to do, @datanexus? “
