Suddenly got the need to give Gertrud Kapelput a chance to see her babyboy make bad decisions in life

The only reason they had to kill her off is so that Ed could survive season 3

It's been a year since my mom died.

less than a month after her death, I started watching Gotham and Oswald's character became an outlet after a recent trauma, which got me in the fandom for a whole year watching someone go through a similar experience, even though this someone is not real (and in general a complete asshole) really helps the series despite its stupid to the point of impossible plot drifts and holes helped me not to lose heart

I wanted to draw something that referred to these events, whether it was a memorial comic or a picture filled with symbols, but morally this task did not give in to me so this picture was born I'm experiencing trauma through a character

I did not know how to label this news for myself and my audience, so at the time I did not advertise it further to friends a terrible event for me, but not so important for the audience, but here it seemed important to indicate why this picture exists

I'd like to think if Mom were here and saw what I've achieved, she'd be proud of me

"I am your mother... and I will love you, no matter what. But lie to me now, you will break my heart.

Oswald, have you done things you should not?"

Gotham’s Oswald Cobblepot makes me so so ill

Wdym his last name was supposed to be Kapelput. Wdymmm it was marked down as Cobblepot on his birth certificate anyway bc his mom was a young Hungarian immigrant without a job?? With no father present???

And he never changed it bc people got it wrong anyway??? I’m going to scream

For my own sanity I hc that fuckin Mr. E, Ed Nashton Nygma, introduces him to the wonderful power of a legal name change for the low low price of $250

i love that the penguin is expanding on oz’s relationship with his mother. that was one of my favorite parts of the gotham show. it added so much depth to his character and brought forth a whole new side of him

[mickedy]

I love this townie Gertrude who will pick on you no matter what route you're on

[autism-connoisseur]

im gonna end it all

The reason Oswald keeps surviving everything, is that he has an angel on his side

[vexahlla]

so what if i'm the most emotional i've ever been over this scene. oswald is so honed in on his mom's reaction to his club "you watch mom, i'm gonna be somebody in this town." to oswald, climbing his way up in the underworld is a personal goal, yes, but it comes with the added benefit of improving gerturd's life. because he has no one but his mom, because he comes from nothing, because he clings so dearly to things. "am i a good boy? have i made you proud?" and then the expression shift when she picks up the scarf... the narrative is warning him and he knows it. don't be close to anyone in this line of work. don't let personal feelings bleed in. falcone's attachment to his own mother was a weak spot, but he was always far less emotional than oswald. he was able to make that decision—his empire or his feelings—but it did cost him. and what does oswald's attachment cost him? "no. not a happy life. but a good one... i was not always a good son"

Hiányzol, írj minél előbb, anya

I’ve had this in my wip pile for so long,,, technically it’s part 1 (?) of my Oswald’s backstory but I understand that it’s not really super useful without context!! So;

Gertrud goes to visit her son in prison one last time, this takes place while they’re still in Hungary.

I’ll try to push out the other pages asap, but no promises!! I’ve decided to post this anyways because I really liked how it came out
