How Gotham Characters' Religious Beliefs Change and Oswald Cobblepot's Fear of Hell 🔥

Inspired by @shyjusticewarrior 's post saying that we don't talk enough about Oswald's canonical fear of hell

Spoilers for S02 E12

My headcanon is that after people were resurrected, especially Theo Galavan, who Oswald saw die very clearly, some main characters (I'm thinking Jim too) kinda became agnostic. Sure, a miracle just happened, but what a weird one. Was Theo in hell? Mhm, he came back with a god complex and badass powers instead of traumatized, does it really matter?

Also let's not forget that Oswald was willing to die/okay with it multiple times, either for loved ones or because he hit rock bottom. 😢

In total, a lot of Gotham characters start out with a big fear of hell because if it's used to instill fear in Gothamites, it must be horrifying with how bad Gotham already is. And then the resurrections start.

They always resort to threats and extortion. It's at this point where they're finally honest about why they believe.

I've been struggling a lot with anxiety about death, hell, and eternity, and was wondering if you have any advice? Bc of the theology I was raised in I struggle to live "in the moment" and that's unfortunately affecting my mental health greatly.

Hey there. I'm sending you compassion and love as you work through all this; you are absolutely not alone in struggling with this kind of anxiety. Please be patient with yourself as you seek to unpack it all — it will take time, but you can get there!

I invite you to look over some of my responses in my #fear of hell tag. After looking there, if you have further questions, please reach out again!

My recital of surah #ikhlas from the holy #quran (#slowed, #reverb). I tried to recite it with emotion, but I don't understand #Arabic. InshaAllah, it will help those who don't even know #islam.

I’ve already said it, I’ll say it again, Mal du Pays is such a visceral and clever word to describe Siffrin’s Sadness. When I first saw it in game it genuinely made me pause like. Yes, it translates to homesickness. But it has the literal word for country in it. “Country sickness”. For a guy whose core problem is that his childhood, his culture, his country is missing. One could argue it’s a twisted pun. I’m obsessed with it.

10 bible verses about Wisdom

7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7 — The New King James Version (NKJV) The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Proverbs 4:7 13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. James…

People who love you don’t want to set you on fire for eternity.

Even a parent or guardian who punishes you wants you to learn, so you can grow and do better next time. How does eternal torture allow people who are dead to learn from their mistakes?

Imagining Shigaraki’s ghost trying to teach Deku how to be more assertive.

Bakugo, lightly ragging on Deku.

Shigaraki: “Call him a cuck.”

Deku: “No. 😃”

—

Someone cuts Deku in line.

Shigaraki: “You’re just going to let them do that?”

Deku: “Yeah, it’s not a big deal.”

Shigaraki: “Okay… are you sure you were born quirkless? Because I think your original quirk was ‘doormat’ since YOU LET EVERYONE WALK ALL OVER YOU—“

Deku: “I’M SORRY???”

—

Deku, playing a PvP game with shitty team mates.

Shigaraki: “ARE THEY PLAYING THE GAME BLINDFOLDED?!?!? TELL THEM TO WALK INTO TRAFFIC!!!”

Deku: “We’ll do better next time!”

Shigaraki, screaming.

Hroo hrah

I think its funny that the Scarecrow keeps showing up in Batman villain team-ups because I honestly think he causes more problems than he solves for everyone involved.

Couldn't figure out which versions of these characters to use so I just mashed stuff together.
