GOTHAM (2014 - 2019) Season 1, Episode 14: The Fearsome Dr. Crane
there is so much to unpack about dinner scene but it comes down to two people finding themselves in unexpected pseudo-familial dynamic born out of grief and loneliness
sofia asks if she can help in cooking/changes plates and then be still for millisecond, almost bracing herself for harsh reaction because that how it was with carmine. but sal is not like her father. she doesn't have to walk on eggshells in case she makes him upset, she can actually relax a little bit and eat in peace.
and i love all the parallels and anti-parallels between these dinner scenes from 1x04 and 1x06 :
grand room vs kitchen
sal actually cooking the meal vs carmine getting the prepared food
soup (symbol of warmth/intimate dish) vs roasted hunted meat
carmine/sal both pour her wine (as in she's the big girl sitting at adults table)
carmine positioned at the head of the table vs sal choosing to sit next to her
sofia in proper dress/hair done vs nightgown/hair disheveled
all the food x sofia scenes post-arkham were a build up to this scene with sal so audience would see how she's more considerate to him -> actually mindful of his opinion about herself ; cause sofia was eating like time was running out, not caring what people would think about her and here she's makes herself to slow down and actually enjoy the meal like!!!!!!!!!!!!! so much to unpack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Penguin (2024) S01E05 "Homecoming"
he's so unserious. yes. this is what installing fear into criminals entails.
batman: the monster men #3 (2006)
My horny ass has been watching Gotham again.
A-Z Gotham Men* and how they fuck you.
*like 75% of Gotham men: Alfred, Bullock, Butch, Ed/The Riddler, Jerome, Jervis, Jim, Lucius, Maroni, Penguin, and Zsasz 🖤
18+ MINORS DNI
Almost everything Alfred does is practiced, and purposeful and despite all his training, he’s still rough around the edges. But when he looks into your eyes, when he hears his name on your lips, all of that hardness and posturing dissipates. He tries to praise you but it comes out all muddled and breathless. So he worships your body as best he can, gently brushing your most sensitive parts with strong calloused hands, rocking your bodies together until you’re as lost as he is. Sometimes he does it with those white cotton gloves still on, and he neglects to clean them for days after because he can still smell you on them.
Bullock talks a big game, but he’s not the man he used to be. Still, what he lacks in youth, he makes up for in enthusiasm. Swollen lips kiss and suck at you, wherever he can find, his scruffy facial hair leaving beard rash on all his favourite parts. Firm, clammy hands pull and grope and guide your body, showing you how he likes it done. “Oh yeah, ooooh yeah, baby.” He pants between ragged breaths and clenched teeth, “Feels so fucking good baby, just like that.” When he’s done he wipes you down with a wet cloth and a cheeky grin, offering to buy you a drink he’s needed since you started.
Butch is big and sturdy and such a good boy. Butch is happy to say whatever you want to hear, to do whatever you want him to do, for you to use his body however you need to get off. “Anything for you Ma’.” He gets high on the scent of you, whimpers when you touch his cock, and eagerly licks up any mess he’s made, whenever, and wherever you allow him to. He’s at your service, just tell him what to do, so long as you shower him with your praise and adoration when you’re done. He especially loves it when you run your fingers through his hair, and plant your kisses behind his ears.
Ed is curious and attentive. His voice is shaky as he asks “Is this okay?” “Does that feel good?” “Is all this because of me?” His long fingers tentatively exploring every inch of you, in and out, memorising every jerk of your body, retaining every noise you make. He refuses to cum until you’re ready, until you’re fully entwined and engrossed in each other.
But The Riddler knows you’re needy. The Riddler takes advantage of that desperation, because it makes you dumb and mailable. He uses your body for his pleasure, he knows where to twist and pull to make your walls wet and tight around him. When you try to speak, he shushes you, cups your cheeks in gloved hands and coos; “I know, I know. Don’t speak. Just take it.”
Clancy Brown as Salvatore Maroni in The Penguin
Part 3? Enjoy <3
Clancy Brown u will always be Rawhide in Buckaroo Banzai to me
In hindsight, this shot from the midseason trailer is like. Hysterically funny. Because in the trailer, it looked like Oz was inviting a high stakes do or die kinda fight, a real finale thriller action scene.
Instead it turns out this is Oz's last two braincells slowly drifting towards each other as they try desperately to process that a senior citizen (who had just been beating his ass) is actively dying of a heart attack in front of him.
And then the braincells finally meet and Oz is immediately like. Oh. This situation is about me, clearly.
