You are having a conversation with your dead friend.
No whatâs best is he says âEd, WE are not sleepingâ It slips in there with the âyousâ but he definitely says WE are not sleeping! At least thatâs what I heard!Â
I just rewatched the scene and it really does sound like, ‘We’. :O I always thought he said, ‘you’. I am shook.
This is not the face of a man who doesnât care. Câmon, Edward âI donât love himâ Nygma.
can i just say, if you just kind of look at this for a few seconds, you realize that heâs not exactly just breathing in deeply. if you look at his chin and mouth when he breathes in, you notice that heâs kind of stuttering, like heâs about cry and is trying to stave it off, heâs quivering
Right, so I was thinking. Remember when Ed found out Oswald was alive? Yeah, in the cages, now remember how he had to second guess himself and check to make sure it was actually Oswald and not another hallucination? Well firstly, that alone is pretty sad because that means deep in his heart Ed knows he never let go of Oswald (which is what he was trying to do at the docks) and he still misses Os enough to actually believe that he could still be hallucinating him without the drugs. But anyway, do you remember how Ed checked to make sure Oswald was real? He smacked Oswaldâs head â he touched him. That means Ed knew he couldnât touch Hallucination Oswald, that means Ed tried to touch hallucination Oswald.
Now we werenât there for the first times Ed took those pills too see Oswald, but letâs imagine how that could have gone (translation: I hope you packed your lunches because weâre going on a feels trip). The first time Ed saw his best friend after murdering himâfirstly, how many days do you think it took him to break down and get those drugs because he absolutely needed to see Oswald again. And upon seeing him again for the first time, what do you think Ed said to him? Just imagine it, Ed breaking down and reaching out to hold Oswald, only to pass right through him. Do you think Oswald was still crying and telling Ed he loved him during that first hallucination? After all, thatâs exactly where they left off, the last time Ed saw Oswald so the last version of him on his mind. Speaking of this, letâs talk about Edâs psychee projection of Oswaldâs appearance. Obviously he was imaging Oswald at the bottom of the ocean, where he believed his body would rest forever. But why? Why couldnât he just imagine Oswald in his normal attire? Because Ed felt guilty. Ed felt so guilty about killing his best friend, he probably couldnât stop picturing him dead at the bottom of the ocean floor. Now hereâs the last thing Iâll leave you to think about; how many times do you think Edward woke up in the middle of the night because he had a nightmare of dead Oswald?
They take place in the same room. The same room Oswald told Ed that he wished he had someone to share his new life with. And that scene took place in the episode âAnything For Youâ. You know? The one with the almost kiss?
Also, Oswaldâs hair in the âEdward Nygma is totally straight sceneâ where heâs imagining his best friend seductively singing to him, thatâs the same haircut from when Oswald was running for mayorâŠ..the episode when Ed gave Oswald a love riddleâŠ.
But itâs probably nothingâŠâŠ
And Oswald in Edâs hallucination almost stands at the same place where Gertrudeâs statue stood.
