In my DnD AU I just made up, this happens whenever they have to pair up.
To all Batman/Batfam/Gotham related story fanfic writers not very familiar with the state of New Jersey,
Hello! First of all, I'd like to start by saying that all of the advice I give is optional! I just know that I like writing with as much accuracy to the pre existing details as possible, so here I am providing some local knowledge for those who want it!
1. We aren't allowed to (as in, it's illegal) to pump our own gas. Gas stations in Nj are unique; we have workers who are in charge of filling up our cars with gas. Even motorcyclists aren't permitted to do so. If you have a gas station in your story and want a bit more detail, maybe work this in!
2. Gotham wouldn't have that stereotypical Jersey accent. The Jersey accent (similar to the New York accent) is native to the northern part of the state. Gotham is south of Atlantic City, and likely part of the water ice half of the state (as opposed to the italian ice half). Think more like Philly accents (wooder instead of water, tals instead of towels etc)
3. Ever hear of Wawa? Southern Jersey, Philly, and Delaware is in the lovely Wawa cult. You disrespect Wawa, you disrespect my entire childhood. I would absolutely die if someone included a Wawa in a fic. Used to have some of the best hoagies on the planet, swear on my mother. Not always a gas station either; sometimes they'll have street corner marts. It's awesome.
4. I know Gotham has its own sports team, I know! But... It could be pretty fun to make the Gotham Wildcats (the football team) and the Gotham Knights (the baseball team) as much of a cult as the Philadelphia Eagles/Phillies. If South Jersey fans are already ripping light poles out of the ground for a team that's not even in our state, imagine how batshit (ha) they'd get for their own teams! Also, I was in Philly for the superbowl win and let me tell you. It was magical. I only feared for my life like ten times!
5. Finally, the weather. We have this lovely thing called inclement weather. Summers average at a very humid 90-105°F (think wet blanket hot) and dry winters with wind chills as low as 0°. We graduate from tanks to hoodies at like 65° in the summer to fall transition, and from jackets to t-shirts at 40° in the winter to spring transition. We're well rounded like that.
I personally love when little bits of info like this is dropped in a fic. Once I finish this semester and have the time to write, you bet your ass I'll be writing beautifully crafted Jersey Gotham fics for all to read and enjoy.
Also, a good quarter of the people I know or see around Jersey rep Italian flag merch. No Italian slander is tolerated within this border, lest you wish to be curb stomped by a short, angry, greasy haired mechanic named Joey. A Joey gets all the bitches. We all love a Joey. A Joey sent my Mommom a get well soon card with two hundred dollars worth of Italian cheeses and a cheap bottle of wine. They're great people, Joeys. Man I miss Jersey.
Sincerely,
A South Jersey Native
