Randomly thinking:

I HATE how Ed lied to Isabella and to himself when he insisted killing his ex was an accident.

Yes, killing her was an accident, ok.
BUT WAS AN ACCIDENT ALSO CUT HER INTO PIECES, BURY THEM IN THE WOODS WHILE CELEBRATING ALL OF IT WITH A GLASS OF WINE?

Thank you for bringing this up. Ed had not been honest about all of that and what killing means to him. That was weird behavior. Like, really freaky behavior to bury her in the woods and then celebrate it. Most murders are committed out of necessity in gotham and the body’s are dispatched without flair…what Ed did was really chilling especially since people do this in real life…

it kind of would take a person that fed his step siblings to his stem mother to be understanding of that behavior… Not a librarian… 

@rose-for-dead-alice  said: “Y’know what fascinates me when it comes to his mental state. He
went from it being an accident, to enjoying the game and even telling
himself and later on Oswald that basically she was a gift to him to lead
him on a new path of his life. Then later on he seems whatever about it
and then later on he seems to go back to considering it a horrible
accident almost like it wasn’t murder, like he had nothing to do with
it.It’s interesting.

Just like when he thought Butch killed
Isabella he was just so gleeful about murdering him, like no big deal.
Then he found out it was actually Os who did it and he can’t even fantasy kill him, he has to take time and just mentally destroy him but
not kill him.

His feelings towards these chicks are very complicated.“

ALL of this. No, cutting her up so she’d fit in a box and having a picnic with said box was not an accident! Let’s also don’t forget how Bad Ed put Kristen’s hand in a vending machine, either, to play games with Good Ed, and the two Eds both live in the same brain. No librarian could ever understand this! Ed is a killer who keeps souvenirs; murderers do that when they enjoy the act of killing so much, they want to re-live the murders over and over.

Oswald is the one who truly accepts Ed.

And yes, a thousand times yes-Ed flip flops about Kristen; he insisted to Oswald (when he called Oswald about Kristen’s glasses) that he really truly loved Kristen. Remember how angry he was when he asserted that he loved her? Kinda like how angry he gets when someone calls Isabella Isabelle. But yes, he also talked about how Kristen’s death was a gift.

I’ve never bought that Kristen’s death was an accident, but “part of Ed” seems convinced that’s what happened.

Yeah. Even though he gave that whole speech to Jim about embracing who he is, he’s still lying to himself.

It’s kind of a parallel with what happened to Oswald when he got out of Arkham. Obviously Edward hasn’t been trying to be a good guy, but he has been trying to recapture some of his old life when he was more innocent (i.e. revisiting the GCPD, pursuing Isabella). And, like with Oswald, someone he trusted killed someone he cared about.

@danniruthvan  Wow, that’s right-Oswald’s stepmother, who he trusted, killed his dad; that’s a parallel to Oswald killing Isabella, from Ed’s point of view.
