I might have already posted some of these on here, but oh well. Also I should probably post on here more often….ANYWAY, you guys should read my Riddlebird fic on AO3. It’s called ‘The Last Good Month’. Plus you should follow me on my TikTok, I’m much more active there—it’s @ batman_numberonefan

I really love that Oswald in Gotham develops paternal affection towards a boy who: - is disabled, like him - craves enough power to be untouchable and then some, but also paradoxically craves love, like him - has a bird name ("Martin")

And the fact that he has that kind of relationship in and of itself. For one, the famously devoted fatherhood of male emperor penguins. For two, it makes sense for someone obsessed with his own legacy that he would want an heir. For three, he is trying to be someone else's Fish Mooney, in part as an affirmation for himself; as Robin Lord Taylor remarked in an interview, Oswald truly had genuine affection for Fish.

People who think Oswald saying he and Ed are brothers will stop me from shipping them together are funny.

The writers wrote them as a romance and wanted to make them canon. Except the producers stopped them. So there's nothing brotherly about their relationship.

Especially since that "we're brothers" line was forcibly added by the producers on the day of filming, which the writers didn't appreciate.

In this context, I take "we're brothers" as brothers-in-arms. Like they fought together, simple as that. Not in a familial sense. With everything in the show, within its narrative, that line can't be interpreted any other way.

Especially since I watch tons of CDramas where people who fall in love literally call each other brother and sister as a sign of respect and also because they learned to fight together under the same master.

So I don't get that supposedly familial connotation with Oswald and Ed. Because she doesn't exist.
