Breaking news, gay man, reflecting of the thoughts of in love with a girl he forced himself to be in love with and completely conflicting himself because he knows that he’s gay but the compulsion to be normal, accepted and loved the way society views it without it having to be that other gay man who loves him more than anything, has now broken down upon seeing her at her lowest.

Gotham 2x6//3x8//3x14 - Ed grabbing his partners

[cowchickenbeefpork]

you know even though it’s important to acknowledge how sexist/homophobic the writing was for Isabella and how shes definitely not good for edward(her actions in the dress up scene can easily be interpreted as rape since Edward is consistently mentally ill in this show and literally went to Arkham for it) but to paint her as someone intentionally malicious is very ????? Strange to me.

it paints her as someone calculating, someone who know what they’re doing is wrong but does it anyways which isn’t like how we see her act in the show at all. We see her risk her life for a man who she’s only dated (AND KNOWN!!!!) in the SPAN OF A WEEK!!! A WEEK PEOPLE!!! The first time she risked her life was when she found out he used to be in Arkham and killed his previous girlfriend and stayed with him nonetheless and the second was when she risked being strangled to death while she was dressed up as Kristen to prove he wouldn’t hurt her. Both of these events happened within the same week. If you were planning to intentionally abuse someone in order to make yourself feel more in control and powerful, why would you pick a man who went into Arkham for killing his previous partner LET ALONE DRESS UP AS HER TO PROVE YOUR LOVE TO HIM???? Someone doing this intentionally would at least wait and pace these events around in order to ensure their safety, not do that all at once. Isabella does them all at once.

even with the clone theory attached to her it still just. Doesn’t really paint her as someone who is mature enough to know what her actions are doing. The clones are at most around a year old, and I don’t think you ever get a good grasp of morals in the span of only a year alive even if you were born as an adult. Even if you head-canon her behavior to be motivated by the court of the owls as a intentional act to separate Ed and Oswald, the blame still wouldn’t fully be on her because of the fact she is a clone whose barely lived a life. This would be her just following orders, not fully understanding the morals of it because this is all she’s ever known!

I know it’s because she doesn’t have a lot of content so she’s more flexible as a character which makes you be able to make her whatever you want her to be but it’s like !!!! We like the same show right??? Why aren’t you not utilizing the little bits of characterization we do get of her in canon for your version of her? What’s the point of writing for such an underdeveloped character if you only keep around one to two traits in the end?

it just feels like wasted potential. With a character like her you can explore how sometimes not all abusers know what they’re doing. You can explore how sometimes abusers are hurting their own well being with their abuse. You can explore how sometimes abusers are also victims. You can explore abusers who aren’t the most standard basic idea of abuse with someone like her and yet it’s the route not taken!!!!

Okay, but why was Ed only romantically involved with people who have some of the worst hairstyles I’ve ever seen?

Barbara: Ed likes being pegged, prove me wrong

Oswald: I can confirm

Isabella: Can confirm

Lee: Can confirm

Kristen: Can confirm

Barbara: I'm not surprised he takes the strap

you know when “gotham” wrote the character of kristen kringle, played by chelsea spack, a character who had been the victim of both workplace sexual harassment by her colleague edward, and domestic abuse by her boyfriend tom? then edward killed tom and then started dating kristen, and then murdered her when he told her he’d killed tom and she was rightfully terrified and tried to run out of his apartment. then edward chopped her body into pieces and buried her in a suitcase in an unmarked grave in the woods (after hiding her dismembered hand in a vending machine). and then they recast chelsea spack to play isabella no-canonical-last-name, who showed up out of the blue a season later and gave edward a riddle where the answer was “time” for no discernible reason at all. and isabella had a blatantly obvious wig, no backstory, and an unexplained obsession with edward. and chelsea spack played isabella with a weird glazed-over look in her eyes, and she looked angry or impatient when other characters weren’t looking at her, and she said she “felt like she’d known edward her whole life” and she dressed up as kristen kringle and was apparently fine with edward being a murderer. and she said she was in love with edward after one date, and that she wanted a love story like “romeo and juliet or othello and desdemona”, where both the lovers die. and she was introduced in the same season as a literal clone was added to the show’s canon, and her wig hair was identical to that of a big bad of that season for literally no reason at all, a big bad who was the head of a shadowy organisation and who worked with the lead doctor of a freaky science lab (another big bad of that season) where said clone was built. but rather than making isabella a clone, or following up on any of the acting choices chelsea spack made, or doing anything with the character at all, the writers instead had isabella die in a train crash which she herself had remarkably little reaction to, and which was played for laughs. then she was mentioned a couple of times by other characters (the running gag being that nobody remembered her name) before nobody mentioned her again. and that happened and we were all expected to move on and forget about it.

Too soon? Isabella slayed honestly

[killingbitingetc]

Sorry I find Isabella's obsession with the personalities of fiction deeply compelling because it implies an extreme disconnection from the rest of the world and the feeling that she will never find her emotional or intellectual equal, that she will never be fully understood because she cannot be until she is. As if it's my fault.

[fandomofhappiness]

My mom watching Gotham with me: aww, Isabella and Edward look so cute together!

She after that Isabella’s craziest transformation into Kristen Kringle: mmmmmmm, what was that penguin boy’s name again??

Thank you @evenstarfalls and anons for the asks in the Q&A's!!

This would be such a sad explanation for why Ed doesn't believe it when Barbara insists that Oswald is in love with him: he thought he might be, but then dismissed the possibility because Oswald had his chance to say something and didn't take it. Ed thinks: "If what Oswald had to say was that he was in love with me, he wouldn't have forgotten. If Oswald were in love with me, he would have kissed me on that couch."

I think the other important aspect of this is that Ed sees Oswald as brave and fearless, ready to seize the world by the throat and take whatever he wants from it, so he simply can't imagine that Oswald might be too shy to initiate a kiss or tell him he loves him.

HELPP ISABELLA CLOCKED OSWALD SO QUICK LMAOOAOAO
