Gotham recap: jealousy between Ed and Butch

#i so love who’s oswald’s favorite competition #(when butch gets jealous he gets sad -’ how can i make oswald notice and appreciate me???’) #(the red hood plan is not a great answer to this question but the instinct behind it isn’t half bad) #(butch is a pretty emotional stable guy all told)

#(when ed gets jealous he gets bitter and obsessive – ‘how can i destroy butch for all time’) #(between this and doughtry ed really should be able to understand oswald’s reaction to isabella) #(they’re so alike honestly)

Where were your big hallucination pills for Isabella, Ed? Seems suspiciously non-hetero to me

In the words of a supportive anon: “Haters gonna hate. Fuck em”.

This ones for you, Ozzie. You’ve been betrayed by so many and beat down by the world. And yet you still find a way to hold your head up high. 💜💜💜

Oh and everyone has my full permission to use these two gifs (even without credit/sourcing). See someone hating on Oswald? Perfect reaction gif.

I know you, Ed. I may be driven by my emotions, but you are driven by something much more predictable

oh SNAP!

#!!! #he had just as little say in falling for isabella as in taking oswald back to the pier #he falls back hard on his compulsions when he can’t process things logically/emotionally… #and both these situations were confusing and overwhelming as hell

#(…this does lead credence to the idea that he might have ended up killing her eventually) #consciously he called it a second chance but compulsively he might have wound up trying to fill in the blanks) #(after he kills kristen he processes it as her death being the catalyst for the birth of his new identity) #(…sound familiar??)

Edward who??? Ivy who?????

#…I actually have no problem with this line?? #(despite the fact that it HURTS like HELL) #I’ve seen several people upset that he forgot about what Ed and Ivy did for him #but that’s not how I read it at all #he gave up on love and weakness just like he and Ed tried to do in Ed’s apartment #back then it was still safe for them to love Kristen and Gertrud #because they were DEAD #there was no way for it to cause problems #(not until Isabella showed up as Kristen 2.0 with a death wish) #Oswald is back in that mindset – acknowledging that he cares about people or that people care about him makes him unsafe #but it’s still okay to love his mother because she’s gone #(and now look who’s showing up Liza/Isabella style to wreck everything) (sure-as-eggs)

this^^^

Not to mention that Oswald probably feels that his mother is the only person in his life who has never hurt or betrayed him in any way

Gotham Is Giving Total Psychopath Professor Pyg His Own Musical Number, Because Gotham

justgotham:

Next week, Gotham is bringing another Bat-villain to its nightmarishly delightful take on DC Comics in the form of Michael Cerveris’s Professor Pyg. But apparently, frequent Broadway star Cerveris will be bring a bit of the ol’ razzle dazzle with him, alongside… well, you know. The “gruesome serial killer with a creepy pig mask” stuff.

Ceveris dished on his multi-episode stint at Pyg to USA Today, revealing that—please pretend to be surprised for a moment—that the noted murderer will find a kindred spirit on the show, in the form of fellow noted murderer Jim Gordon.

According to the site, Pyg’s arrival in Gotham City leads to a string of cops being brutally murdered as part of Pyg’s twisted sense of justice… except for Jim Gordon, who finds his fellow officers of the law turning against him when they realize the reason he isn’t on Pyg’s kill list is because Pyg doesn’t see Gordon as a corrupt cop. Which is odd, considering that Jim Gordon a) has killed a shit-ton of people and b) is currently using Sofia Falcone to raise an army of criminals to stop Penguin’s very effective crime prevention program. But anyway.

The real delight of Pyg’s arrival on Gotham, according to Cerveris, is not his relationship with Jim, but a planned encounter with the Penguin… which of course leads to Professor Pyg starring in his own “song-and-dance number.”

“Especially when they had somebody who played Sweeney Todd, they knew the direction they wanted to go,” Cerveris says, adding that he hopes Broadway fans who don’t watch Gotham “might give it a look simply because of that, and find that they have a new favorite show.”

I love the idea of Broadway fans tuning into Gotham only to find a serial killer in a pig mask doing a showtune. Love it.

Professor Pyg squeals his way onto Gotham starting next Thursday, October 26.
