The Deca itself amazes me, but its fandom is on a whole other level. We have one canon source material (and a few other mentions scattered throughout the Whoniverse), but the fans have managed to tinker with it so much that fanon is actually more popular than canon and more wildly accepted. And I love y'all for it

hey dad so when i was ten years old and i told you that i'd gotten tired of romance plotlines in books and you told me that i'd be interested in them when i got older. i just want you to know that i was right

[cowchickenbeefpork]

so. I found this article recently while trying to find a quote of Cory saying people should get their mind out of the gutter when it comes to the wake up alone thing (didn’t find it, I think it was a fake memory of mine)

I read it and…I agree with him in a way. I do think we should let art depict people who don’t have much experience with others exploring their sexuality. I do think we should allow characters to explore queerness without ending up being queer at the end of the day. People like this exist in real life, so why can’t we show situations like this in any story?

however, I do think he fundamentally doesn’t get the main reason why people called nygmobblepot queerbait. Oswald and Edward possibly not being gay isn’t a problem, the buildup to this whole arc is! Isabella comes out of nowhere with no buildup besides maybe the clone thing which she isn’t even canonically connect to. As soon as Edward and Oswald get closer and act more homosexual with one another the show makes up a woman to come in between them both. As much as I love the concept of the Isabella arc, Edward would need to be way more mentally unwell for him to even get with her in the first place. It’s rushed through completely and since this is the most serious queer dynamic in this show, it feels very suspicious.

the fact Gotham consistently does not take queer relationships seriously also ends up muddying the intended message. The closest canonical queer relationship besides from these two in the show is Barbara and Tabitha, which are also not taken as seriously! Barbara’s plotlines have consistently involved men from day one, and the show casts Tabitha as just a best friend when discussing her death in season five! Besides from this and nygmobblepot, we never really see anything close to queer relationships. We get told some characters swing both ways like Fish and Zsasz, but it’s still never important enough at the end of the day. And mind you, every queer coded character in this show is evil, adding another layer to this!

Queerness ends up becoming something unserious by these decisions. Something temporary. Something as a phase. Never do the straight relationships have this whole questioning sexuality thing; only when it is queer do they depict as something left for the viewer to interpret. I do know queerness is overall less common than being heterosexual or cissexual, but this is fiction. Why have two male characters explore their sexuality and say Edward is straight and imply Oswald might be as well if you have no serious queer relationships? How explore sexuality if queer people are not allowed to have as serious relationships than your heterosexual characters have constantly in the show?

in conclusion, I do get Robin Lord Taylor’s intention in depicting both Ed and Oswald in this fashion, but the other creative decisions made in this show undercut the intended message and twist it into something else, which is queerbait.

how it all started...

It deeply upsets me that there aren’t a lot of analysis posts off of Lesley, at least ones that don’t completely mischaracterize her. Often times Lesley is watered down to just being “Yellow’s Mom” by the fandom and nothing else. Lesley is tragic. She is not motherly, she’s a prisoner. A prisoner in a prison partially of her own design, but a prisoner nonetheless. matpat, and the david theory in general has rotted people’s brains. It’s fine to have an interpretation of a character, I could care less, but it’s an entirely different thing all together to completely miss the point of a character. Watching the line “you’re one of my favorites….” be brushed aside for what is otherwise a completely unserious line is infuriating. There’s no actual proof that Lesley is Yellow’s mother outside of theories. When she says “you’re not my real son” it’s more so in the way that she creator, and he is her creation, not that Lesley is actually an author, she just thinks she is. The trio represent parts of her, almost everything they do is by her hands. They’re miserable because Lesley is miserable. She believes herself to be an author, a creator, but she doesn’t hold any real power, just a small amount. Yellow didn’t scale the staircase on his own, everything was meticulously laid out by Lesley. Because, the truth is, he represents a part of Lesley that she has long since forgotten, the part of her that genuinely wants to change, to progress instead of regress. By giving yellow his batteries and bringing him up stairs, she is checking that she is still alive. That there is still that small part of her that can change.

But, as previously stated, she doesn’t have any real power, and she has no interest in truly changing. She has strings of her own, she can’t change even if she wanted to. Lesley has a tendency of setting up scenarios where the puppets are given a false sense of control. She does it with red in transport, and she does it again in electricity with yellow. In her mind she’s teaching them, teaching them that things cannot stray outside of what she has laid out for them. It’s her own twisted way of helping. Yellow, unlike red, possesses a genuine ability to question things and a natural curiosity. Lesley knows this. That’s precisely why his batteries are denied from him, unless Lesley hands them to him on a silver platter when convenient. Yellow has to pay the price of being constantly disoriented, to be in a constant state of confusion because if he isn’t then that would entail Lesley addressing what is pulling on her strings. The batteries are a threat to this cycle, hence why Lesley gifts him a book of false knowledge. A book of nothing. A red herring. She knows where that book is going, straight into the shredder as it always does. Where it should be. Because ever so slightly out of shot at the end of her room sits a door that creaks open every once in a while and she dare not question it. A door that she ignores as she continues on playing her piano as she always does. As it should be. No questions to be had. Just the keys of a piano echoing emptily in a dilapidated dollhouse, and the ghost of an artist who lost herself eons ago.
