Being a Gotham fan right now, especially an Oswald fan

is kind of weird after the USA presidential election this year 😭

Spoilers for season 3 episode 16/17:

I love Oswald and think he had more potential as mayor than Aubrey James, but that's in a world where the person in power needs to have connections to the crime world!! 😐

And oddly enough, this real-world election, which happened about 6 years after similar events in the show, was kind of similar to Oswald rise to power after Ed's betrayal:

Both gained a part of the people he wanted out of the city the last time: A big part of Oswald's campaign was getting "Hugo Strange's monster" out of Gotham but they were his "Army of Freaks" the second time around — one of Trump's big things during his first campaign was building a wall bordering on Mexico, whereas the third time he tried to get elected, he managed to gain support from Latino Americans, including people whose family member could have to leave under his policies 😯

Not to mention that they both tried to steal the election.

At the moment watching Gotham and the news can be a bit much for me, do any people feel similar?

Cause so many of the things Americans are facing are dystopian elements in gotham:

police corruption (immunity)

a criminal, who has and will contintue to express his dislike of (certain) people, becoming their leader

bad healthcare (abortion too probably, maybe contraception 👀)

poverty

families breaking apart

gender-based violence (I hope no-fault divorce won't be ended)

ostracism/deportation

If you want to see specific examples, here's the edit I made of the parallels:

The Dystopian World of Gotham (Can Be Seen as a Modern AU/Parallels to the USA in 2024) on Youtube (I recommend you watch it there because of the format but it's also on Tiktok)

In any case: please someone edit chief of staff!Ed with eyeliner 💚 Like next to tanned!Oswald or something 💜 Let's ignore that Trump has an actual chief of staff too 🤫

[Edit: someone pointed out that they thought my comparisons made the real problem seem smaller & mentioned a few other things like reading into this that I meant to call latinos monsters, (what the hell?) 🤨. If you feel similarly, you can check out my clarifying response]

I think we all know the answer to this one

Gotham Season 1/2/...? Gobblepot Summed Up (Incorrect Quote)

Jim Gordon: I need you to do a favor for me.

Oswald Cobblepot: Jim, old friend! 😄 Relax 😇 Sit down, have something to drink, do you want to stay overnight?

Jim: *Slams Oswald into a wall* We're not friends. *Looks at Oswald's lips*

Ben McKenzie discusses revisiting Gotham's Jim Gordon

Fan Expo Toronto 2024 - Fan Q&A with Ben McKenzie and Morena Baccarin. Original footage in higher quality with full Q&A.

Transcript: I don't know if you're aware of this but (- Morena: I remember this moustache drama) but to actually grow a moustache does not happen overnight, it takes time. Television shows shoot very quickly, and we were in the present for the last season until the very end, then we jump forward in time and get onto the moustache, but I didn't have time to grow it, so they just put a thing on my face. I am displeased with it. It was a long conversation and ultimately I relented. I did it because I felt it was right to send off the show, and for the fans, and for everybody at home it was the right move, but it kinda pissed me off that I couldn't grow out the moustache. Yeah. I would like to revisit the character at some point down the road. I'm not sure if I've ever said that before, I mean, I've thought it but I don't remember articulating it. I would actually like to revisit him, you know, at a little later chapter in his life, and I think the moustache would be appropriate. I think the moustache on a 20 year old guy who's a rookie cop, kinda sends the wrong message. A little bit older and then he can pull it off so, I'll grow into it, grow into the moustache.

Nothing cemented in the fact that Gotham really was pulling plots out of their ass like seeing a Bruce Wayne clone at the end of season 2. Absolutely insane. I love this train wreck.

GUILTY AS SHIT

[fanfic-the-wish-your-heart-makes]

Part 1 of Gotham Characters React to You Getting Easily Scared by a Movie 👻☠😈😨🎃 (feat. almost every character, wow 🤗)

Jim Gordon & Fish Mooney

Plot: I've come across versions of this where the reader likes scary movies, but what about readers who are too scared by them? Reader: gender-neutral (no pronouns), in a romantic relationship with the character 🥰 Warnings: the reader watching a not described scary movie & in most cases being hesitant to voice their opinion about it (often has to do with the love-interest probably being used to horror, never with being afraid of their reaction). I wouldn't recommend this approach but I thought I'd write it in most cases to show how safe you'd be with the characters even if you didn't say something at first ❤ Word count: no idea, I'm too tired to post this on AO3 to find out how much exactly 😭 [note from next day: you were too tired to even publish this 😂❤] [note from a bit more than three weeks later: here you go, it's 3681 words long :)]

This whole thing is also on AO3 without the GIFs 👻☠😈😨🎃

Jim Gordon Well, he would've enjoyed making you feel safe without actually having to protect you, but if all it takes to make you less scared is to not watch a movie, count him in. 😚 He's also glad that he doesn't have to watch something scary. His life is full enough of alarming experiences.

You're sitting next to him on the sofa, when the movie suddenly goes from calm to horrifying in a matter of seconds and you startle. Okay, calm down, this is probably nothing for Jim. He notices your distress and wraps an arm around you, looking a little more awake than before too. "Everything okay?" You think about it. "The movie isn't exactly my thing." "Wanna turn it off?" "Y-yeah, if it's okay." He does so and gives you one of his careless grins, pulls you close and kisses you. "I've been waiting for you to say that the whole evening."

Fish Mooney is coddling you. The crime boss knows that you shouldn't be afraid of fiction when your reality can be much worse, but she can't help it. You're one of the only people she cares about, what can she do?

"Aww, poor baby can't handle scary movies, huh? Come here." She lets you rest your head on her lap or chest and gently pats you on the back, already planning how she's gonna keep you save.

______________ Author's note: If you wonder why this "only" contains two people, it's because of the tags 😄

Edit (November 19):

Fish (in her first scene): "My boys are watching a scary movie."

Jim: Really?

Fish: Actually, yes. 😂

My Gotham Smut Ideas You Can Vote On 😚 *🧡*🧡*🧡* (October 2024)

Which of these would you like to read (warning: suggestive cause it's smut)?

I thought up some ideas for Kinktober, definitely won't make all of them or just not in time:

Why is this poll font size so big? 🙈 Not Tumblr projecting my smutty thoughts 😂

Turns out I can only make one poll per post, so I'll link the other ones

Part 2 (probably the last one, after all, I write for other fandoms too)

[pengylove]

The way Jim annoys me more and more with every episode and it's only S1...

Harvey, Oswald, Barbara and Lee all deserve much better.

[theyallfl0at]

Going off pure vibes, Jim Gordon Gotham is very Arctic Monkeys to me. I think a Jim Gordon edit to Arabella would be good shit.

[accidentallyadoptedbybatman]

Jim Gordon is the bicycle of Gotham i swear you can ship him with nearly everyone

[wrensgeekyvibes]

The Smartest Man in Gotham

"Think, think, think. How did they beat you? How did they figure you out? Gordon must have stolen the blueprints to the maze, found one of the bombs, and sabotaged the sequence."

WRONG, MY GUY

It was Edward Nygma, the smartest man in Gotham, who solved your maze riddle. This is Ed erasure, and I am not having it. He figured out the blueprint with no help, and Gordon gets the credit? Awful. Gotham should be thanking him for the work that he did.

[h4unted-d4rling]

Jim: You’re a psychopath.

Edward: I prefer the term “creative”.

[it-happened-once-in-a-meme]

(Spoilers for whether Nygmobblepot is canon!)

If Nygmobblepot is ever canonized, 💜💚

I want there to be a live slug reaction, preferably from Jim, cause as not just a Nygmobblepot but also a Gobblepot shipper I want to see him possibly jealous 🤭

Regardless, the reaction should be panic. Cause the Penguin and the Riddler teaming up is one thing. But them being together and helping each other without expecting anything in return: chaos! 😂😱

[riddlrz]

Something about 4x01's interaction between Jim and Oswald when Oswald gets sprayed by the fear toxin

And he clutches to Jim and cries

Jim looks uncomfortable, BUT HE DOESN'T PULL AWAY he does nothing to even get rid of Oswald, he even cradles him

I just. Yeah.

[mrskillingjoke]

Jim: I've been going at him for six hours. He won't say a word. The guy's a brick wall.

Harvey: not to worry, boyscout. I'll take it from here. Hope you boys brought Popcorn 'cause I'm about to put on a Show.

*goes to the interrogation room*

Harvey: Well, Well, Well. I hear you don't Like answering questions, Buddy. That's fine by me, 'cause I'm not asking.

*slams the door and doorknob fall out*

Harvey: ohh, handle fell off. I'll just grab that.

*trys to put the handle on again*

Harvey: nope! So looks like we're locked in. That's bad news for you, 'cause you trapped in here with a psycho.

Harvey: Hey, has anyone tried it from the outside?

Jim: lock's broken. Gotta call facilities.

Harvey: Copy that. No rush.

Harvey: As I said I got all the time in the wor- it's a little warm in here, right?

Harvey: do you feel any air coming out of that vent? I got nothing.

Harvey: We got an ETA in facilities?

Jim: at least 45 minutes.

Harvey: And they've checked all this paint for lead, right? And the room for asbestos. I feel Like I'm sucking in a tailpipe in here!

Harvey: everybody get away from the mirror!

*throws the handle against the mirror, which bounds back*

Harvey: come on!

Harvey: I can't breathe. I can't breathe.

Prisoner: Hey, calm down, man. I'll confess. Just stop freaking out.

Harvey: what?

Prisoner: i did it. I robbed 'em.

Harvey: boom! And that's how it's done. I was faking the whole thing to break him. I coulda stayed in here forever.

Jim: good, 'cause facilities is gonna be a couple hours.

Harvey: we're gonna die in here!
