S01E19 Gabe Report

Beasts of Prey

Gabe accompanies Oswald to a bar Oswald wants to buy. Lidia is having none of it. Neither is Gabe. He has to take her rolling pin away.

Gabe: You made your point.

I just added this cap because of his chain :) ^^^

Long before Oswald goes murderin’ with Jim or Ed, Gabe was Oswald’s murder/torture pal. Remember Frankie? Just sayin’, since murder/torture seem to be the only way the Gotham writers ever let Oswald bond with anyone!

*sniffle* I bet Gabe was mighty jealous when Oswald told him what he and Jim did to Galavan. 

Dear Diary: what did I do wrong? Whey doesn’t Oswald take me murdering anymore?

This is twice in as many weeks that Oswald’s murdered someone without me. He snuck in, with his clothes all bloody, in the middle of the night-hoping I was asleep so he wouldn’t have to explain where he’d been.

I get it. I’m yesterday’s news; murderin’ with good ol’ Gabe just isn’t exciting the way it once was. How can I compete with his new murder buddies? Doesn’t he know that they’ll never understand him, care for him the way that I do?

It hurts, Diary. It hurts.

Maybe we need to experiment with new murder methods, bring that spark back. I’d even be willing to share a little. 

Awww poor Gabe. Geez if Oswald continues to be complicated and so ungrateful to spent more time with his new murder buddies maybe Gabe could provide him with some other spark? Cause I guess the murder spark never looses it´s light with Oswald. Be it Ed, Jim, Victor or anyone else murder is fun. It´s a stress relieve, it´s sometimes just necessary and letting his violence flow gives him the best ideas but what if Gabe finds something else. He remembers how they shared the Cannoli and all those other little moments. He tries to compete with Oswald´s new murder buddies, he tries to keep up with his violence but eventually Gabe notices that maybe he does not even have to. Oswald does not need him for the murder fun, he will always be there to protect his boss with all strength he has but there might be something other than the glee of a killing spree he can provide. It is this one chilly night when Oswald sneaks in again, all bloody. Oswald does not even have to explain, Gabe just knows it. Well not everything but all he needs too. He´s quite sure that it has not been Ed though. Oswald usually is more excited and lively after those murders. Gabe knows that Edward usually takes care of everything and Oswald just has to be there for the good part. Business killings sometimes leave him grumpy, just as everything seems to turn into somewhat of a chore under the right consequences but right now Oswald has this exhausted but calmed look on his face. There is a faint smile showing under all the blood and Gabe stops his steps before his boss, takes his handkerchief and wipes away the biggest splatters. To his surprise Oswald lets him without complaint. That was always the part about murder Oswald disliked. Cleaning up was so tedious. At least his new position allowed him to order other people to deal with the bodies. Gabe makes a bold step and leads Oswald to his room. He walks through it into the bathroom and starts to let the water run into the tub. Gabe chooses the oil with the Chamomile because he has heard it should reduce tension. Before he walks back to Oswald he drenches a towel with water and wrings it. His boss has sunken into the big chair and Gabe walks up to him to clean his bloody hands.When the water has filled the tub he is finished. Before he leaves Oswald Gabe turns off the water. He puts aside the stained towel, he would bother later to bring it and Oswald´s clothes to the laundry. When Gabe returns with a steaming cup of tea Oswald is lying in bathtub with closed eyes. He clears his throat and puts the tea next to Oswald. When Oswald raises the cup to his lips Gabe notices that he has not cleaned his face further. There is still blood spread over his face. After his boss had put down the cup Gabe takes a fresh towel and leans over the edge of the tub. He carefully removes the remaining red spots and dabs Oswald´s face dry. He almost did not hear the little sigh from his boss. Then Oswald straightens his back a little and starts to talk, to chat even. His words flow slow and calm. He tells Gabe about the day, about this and that, about the delicious Fettuccine and much more. Gabe just listens and watches Oswald´s hands play with the water. It´s a spark that is not as bright but maybe the light is much more beautiful.

@inappropriatefangirlneeds hot damn.

I´m sorry for hijacking this but I was sooooo confused for a moment because I just saw Gabe and thought of Gotham´s Gabe not SPN´s Gabriel :D

Just imagine Gabe leaving little presents for his boss with edible underwear. I It would probably backfire? Like Oswald would open them, roll his eyes and put them aside but then he would taste them and just casually snack them throughout the day and in the evening it´s just gone meaning he can´t wear anything at all in bed then

@thisisteal

Election results are in and I get to keep my job! Time to go party hardy @ democrat HQ lol later guys ✌🏻️✌🏻✌🏻

Great now all I can imagine is Zsasz there with all of his guns just like… Sipping punch and waving a tiny flag, covered in buttons 😝

VOTE OR ELSE

Okay but like… Can you imagine Zsasz just following you around? Like you’re sitting on your couch right now… Zsasz is in your kitchen drinking your pop. All I’m thinking about now is Zsasz following me around like a lost puppy waiting for orders.

Can I borrow him some time :D I was dog sitting once and I´ve always thought I am 100% a cat person but actually it´s a nice feeling to have someone follow you round. But Zsasz would probably start to drop shit like a cat when he gets bored ..

You’d also never have to worry about your safety ever again. There’s no way that someone is going to attack you with Victor around.

^^ Someone needs to give that memo to Oswald

Seriously! Why didn’t Oswald take him and his henchwoman army to the warehouse? That makes no sense to me.

Yeah that bothers me. The only reasons I can come up with are 1) The writers realize that Victor and Gabe are too good of henchman and thus bad things can’t happen to Oswald when they are around 2) Victor and Gabe couldn’t be at the warehouse because otherwise Butch would’ve shot them instead of the nameless goons (although that kinda goes back to 1 because Butch might not have been able to get away with that)

Which I guess is why even though Gabe was at that party, supposedly, Oswald still fucking got shot. Seriously he’s gonna go looking for him and be like…Boss? where r u???

(closes other reblog window and opens a new one .. because guys .. you are fast)

Indeed! There is a really weird habit of not “using” Zsasz. I hoped they would elaborate a  bit more on the “rules” concerning this after the why wasn´t Falcone having his Hitman round debacle in S1 but it seems they just wont?

And I like those thoughts but it just leaves the frustrating fact that it just does not make much sense for Oswald to have him go for Butch but not have him round going for Galavan. Srsly why? Maybe Zsasz is really just a cat and just works when it pleases him? Or he´s just meant to be the occasional eye candy ..

.. oh .. yes .. and when Gabe finally finds him he will have a serious “I told you, boss, you should have listened to me” talk with him after patching him up

Lol omg this post is getting long, sorry to non-Gotham followers. 

Oh yeah, that’s right, I forgot about the Falcone thing. Also, Victor seemed perfectly fine last episode even though he was shot? Unless he had like a bullet proof vest, I guess maybe he wouldn’t be too hurt…idk. 

I think he’s probably there to be eye candy tbh, which I mean, is fine for me but it’s frustrating, yeah. 

OMG I hope Gabe doesn’t say “I told you so,” Oswald would get so pissed. But he would never hurt his babe (partly because he would have no chance against him lol). 

There should really be a better system for such conversations ^^°

Yep that bugged me too, but I guess they can´t waste screen time to care about such a minor characters bullet wound.

I don´t even want to get to know much more about him as a person / his motives I think part of his appeal is the mystery (and I don´t really like the other Zsasz Versions back stories too much) but damn it´s annoying when trying to make sense of the other characters actions.

And even with the argument of Galavan needs to win this time they could have had Zsasz be round, after all they don´t have him fully established as invincible and indestructible force that always wins, why not continue this.

Yeah, Gabe probably nows better than that ^^  but maybe he dares to because of Oswald being hurt and of course it´s with the best intentions, like maybe he listens when he can´t move too much ..

I´m alright with that song  but I´m really curious what would it have been with cheating :D

And I can send asks but this is unfortunately a secondary tumblr, and apart from other things I figured it would be easier that way otherwise people would have to remember the primary url and the fandom relevant secondary url ^^° The only thing that does not seem to work for me every now and then is tagging .. I almost missed this ^^

I would have just gone to the next one which went to honorreid, Sweet Pea by Miles Davis. I just wanted something more sentimental than this particular Dylan song *sigh*

Ahhh okay <3 good to know

Well, the shuffle gods seem to always have a mind on their own ^^
