Martin Cobblepot - Blog Posts

I’ve been working on a fic lately that has very quickly become much more Martin-centric than I had at first anticipated. He really is a fascinating character. He’s both the innocent child who showcases the kinder side of the King of Gotham’s dark heart, and a mysterious potential future supervillain. I love thinking about just who he’ll wind up becoming in the future... And, though I’m sad Gotham never showed us what he grew up to be, I love how open to speculation he is as a character. 

Also, I love that book dedication :) 

Martin Cobblepot - The Emperor’s Chick

“Did you know that male emperor penguins keep their eggs warm by balancing on their feet?… Pretty neat.”

Oooh, I hadn’t necessarily considered the Bruce/Martin parallels in Gotham... Very clever. I do hope we get to see more of Martin in season 5, though I know things are a bit squished.

Alright, I think I’ll end the day’s mass Christmas rebloggings here, with some good old fashioned Nygmobblefamily fluff :) Adorable as ever. Also I love the detail in the pattern of Oswald’s robe. This art is just so cozy and snuggly and sweet; I can feel the warmth. 

The lady I work with also does Christmas in January, actually. I think it’s an Eastern Orthodox thing--she’s from Russia. Well, they had a family Christmas this Saturday, but she’s mentioned the January Christmas thing to me before, too. I think they might do both. 

So, Merry Christmas and joyous holidays to all :) 

Here you go anon! I kept this one in the queue for today.

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate today! 🎅🎄🎁🥂

I hope you all have a nice day (regardless of holidays) and that you have fun on New Year’s Eve as well. I got 3 more days of work and then I’m on holidays. (We celebrate Christmas in January. Crazy, I know.)

Oswald and his family, being happy and sweet. 

At first I was disappointed that Ed was left out, but then I realized, even though he’s not pictured really, there are two gifs of Os looking at him/attempting to confess his love for him, so he’s implied in it. 

Three generations of Cobblepot cuteness :) 

I hope no one minds my Christmas spam, but I feel like I’ve got to post all this cuteness tonight because it will be late tomorrow. So much Christmassy fluff, so little time...

Merry Christmas!

Another thing I wish could’ve happened in Gotham: Oswald’s family interacting. It seems like we’ve met most members of his family, but pretty much all of them one at a time. It works for the plot, but we don’t get much family fluff because of it. So, these are exactly the sort of character interactions I’m so glad to find in fandom. Gertrude would’ve made a great grandma, and I bet Martin would loved going to visit her <3 All of this is just so adorable and cute and I love it. Whatever happens in the show, Oswald will always have a happy family in fandom :)

spending time with grandma!!!

I guess I wasn’t alone in wanting to see the Nygmobble-family doing Christmas together <3 Aaaah they’re so cute! Their happiness is just so precious. I love the flashing lights, and all the little hats they’re wearing--Martin even has one of those little crown things like British people wear for Christmas (which I only know from the Doctor Who Christmas specials, haha). Hehe and the antlers on Ed and the little origami penguins on the tree and... ugh it’s too cute and sweet. I love it so much. I just want them to be happy and together as a family, and whether or not it turns out that way in the show, I’m grateful that that future exists in the fandom. 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! :D

Nygmobblepot decorating the Christmas tree it is! 🎄🎅🎁🎄

I just love all the art of these three as a family so much <3 They have their flaws, but they take care of each other. After all, even slightly murderous children get scared of monsters sometimes :)  

Martin making Oswald check under the bed for monsters and Oswald checking even though it hurts his knee?

Ed’s joining in to give his opinion on the matter as a man of science!

This is still one of the most heartwarming Martin edits I’ve ever seen. The trouble is that I saw it before I saw season 4, so it actually set my expectations for Oswald’s skill as a dad unrealistically high. Not that I’m saying he’s not a good dad (nor am I saying he’s not not a good dad in canon... I mean... it’s complicated), it’s just that I didn’t actually realize this was an incorrect quote the first time I saw it (despite how clearly labeled I now see it is) and I was really hoping this was actually going to be canon. It’s just so perfect, the misfit mobster comforting his misfit son, and it really fits with the emotion in their eyes, the passion and the sadness and the hurt. And after all, Oswald already compared himself to a Roman ruler in Augustus Caesar; it’s not that much of stretch for him to compare himself (and Martin) to a Greek philosopher. 

Also, this is yet another reason purple is the best color ;)
