#the show but also any Gotham

[batcavescolony]

Personally if I wanted someone dead in Gotham, I'd kill them and then KEEP THEIR BODY! It's Gotham people get revived all the time. Take their body, make sure they're 100% dead, personally cremate them, then take their ashes and make something inconspicuous.

the show should have leaned more to both oswald and edward leaning into abusing substances in order to cope with their falling out. just sayin

Every week someone makes a post about how annoying it is that Dick Grayson fans don't acknowledge his flaws, and every week someone replies with an explanation that the flaws OP listed are entirely fanon and inconsistent with canon as it actually happened and at this point I have to assume that none of those explanations are ever going to stick because clearly some people just want the fanon to be true.

Anyway, I'm just putting this here for me to edit and add relevant-to-the-topic links later so I'll have them nicely at hand to read and sooth my frustrations when it gets real bad out there. (Echo chambers are good when we use them to drown out character mischaracterizing fanon.)

Being a big sister is so important to Selina’s character, actually.

Listen. We don’t know the exact age difference between her and Maggie, but based on the size difference in flashbacks to them as kids, I’d say probably two or three years. That means that accounting for early childhood amnesia, Selina has been looking after someone less capable than her for as long as she can remember. Giving and caring and nurturing and protecting. This is such a fundamental part of her personality, it’s older and deeper than the stealing; sarcasm; self-sufficiency; cynicism; even than the loss of innocence. This is her core. Her foundation. For years, she never put herself first because her sister needed her. She had to learn to do that, the hard way. To value herself at all, let alone above others, was an uphill climb, so no wonder she can take that too far when she’s older - she constantly has to outweigh her inner conscience! She tried to rip that selfless part of herself out when she left Maggie behind to a life of safety and peace, while condemning herself to one of struggling and fighting to survive.

But she didn’t. She couldn’t. In her late teens, Selina was a sex worker with an abusive pimp, no support system, no financial security, a lot of psychological baggage and generally nothing good in her life. She had every reason to only look out for her own wellbeing. To decide that with all the problems she already had, everyone else’s were only theirs. Yet the moment she she saw Holly in need of help and protection, she stepped in. She took this needy, dependent kid under her wing and raised her for years. No ulterior motive, no external pressure. Because that’s who she is.

Yes, Catwoman is a strong independent badass. Yes, Selina has issues and some notable deficiencies in social skills and sometimes not that great mental health, which can make her act selfish and uncaring or be unable to commit or show vulnerability. But beneath that surface, she cares so much. She needs and deeply values relationships. Pushing people away is almost always an effort to stop them getting hurt by her or proximity to her, even subconsciously.

Selina Kyle is just as inherently predisposed to care about people as Bruce Wayne. The reason Batman was always a hero and Catwoman was originally a ruthless thief was that his environment and experiences rewarded that altruistic drive, while hers punished her for it. So I’d like to see more of Selina the protector and the nurturer, without her softer side negating her coolness or getting written off as Batman’s influence alone or her not being true to herself, when really it’s the opposite. Her falling in love, making friends, switching from theft to vigilantism, becoming a mother figure to Kitrina Falcone and the Batkids, etc. are all natural developments of her character. They’re her rediscovering another, equally true side of her identity and learning to love and embrace it.

the trauma that the 73rd demon realm would’ve given KimCom is spoken about a lot, but I haven’t seen anyone get into the specifics of it. let’s put the focus on yoo joonghyuk and the kids.

as said in the notes of the last reblog, i feel like the real (as he believed) death of kim dokja happening in his arms would’ve deeply affected yjh’s psyche. imagine you find someone who so perfectly contrasts you and then having to kill him. he would’ve thought he lost the man forever. and the fact that the man was in his arms as he turned to dust? it would’ve ruined him because why does everything he touch become ashes and dust? and this is third round yoo jonghyuk. he just got betrayed to hell by anna croft. it’s lucky he didn’t remember, otherwise he would’ve never spoken to dokja again. the contrast between a cradle and a stab to the chest is so intriguing and so depressing. like the symbolism??? the opening to a character psyche????? this is why I like that one fanart (I can’t find it anymore someone help)

Ok I went I on a bit of a tangent so I’ll keep the children short. Of course, killing their father figure was deeply traumatizing. No child should ever have to go through that. And the fact that he encouraged it? I could go so deep into the psychological effects that death still has on the kids afterward. But the thing that’s so jarring to me is the fact that he tells them to “treat this as a game.” Correct me if I’m wrong, but that was the first time he ever “played a game” with them. That action is a moment of bonding between a father and a child. Dokja tried to shed some light into the horrible scenario they found themselves in, but his attempt ended up making everything so much darker. To take such an innocent phrase and distort it until it’s unrecognizable in the garden of death, blood, and mourning…

You can tell its been a while but im still mad about it so I've just gotten down to kind of nitpicky not fair takes but still like. About Peacemaker Tries Hard. You know what. I think its dumb that he named the dog Bruce Wayne actually I think that was very forced.

Still so hurt about the news regarding gk. This show and its cast has already become such a major comfort for me in such a short amount of time. And I’m so grateful to have gotten the opportunity to hop on every week to experience each episode. I read the post the showrunners made last night and it really sucks that no network is bringing anyone on due to the strike. But I just love how amazing both the cast and crew are with wanting us fans to give back to those in need instead of giving it to the show. It still really hurts though since I’ve seen myself in quite a few of the characters and I’ve gotten so attached already.

But hoping all of the cast’s new projects and jobs makes them just as happy as this show has made for the rest of us gk fans who tuned in every week and left our comments and our theories and art and being genuinely unhinged in the best way possible over this wonderful show.
