Ed calling Oswald Uncle Penguin was fucked up.

Ed you know that’s his son.

Okay but I raise you Ed Nygma has daddy issues and usingĀ ā€œUncle Penguinā€ is his way of avoiding casting any of those negative aspersions or associations he has about Fathers on a relationship Oswald himself has proven to be a genuinely loving and sacrificial one by refusing to escape until Martin was safeĀ 

You know what? Disregard my earlier sass. This is now the theory I subscribe to.

amt149:

Regardless of whether you ship Nygmobblepot or not, Ed & Oswald’s relationship has always been marked by Love.Ā 

They met in the woods because of love. Ed killed Kristen because he loved her too much to let her go. Oswald lost his mother because the Galavans used his love for her against him.

They meet again in Arkham. Oswald visits Ed for help sorting his thoughts out about Fish, and he was only confused in the first place because Oswald didn’t realize that Fish loved him like a son.Ā 

Oswald gets Ed out of Arkham to join his campaign as mayor. Ed presents Oswald with a riddle about love and shows Oswald how the public loves him. (Also I know most people don’t look at the OST song titles, but when Oswald presents Ed with their framed certificates (ie before Ed is made Chief of Staff), the OST that is playing is titledĀ ā€œPenguin in Love.ā€ It’s the first time we hear this OST. Just Saying.)

Oswald falls in love with Ed. Ed falls in love with Isabella. The Riddler is named as a result of this love and the feud begins.

Ed gets unfrozen because Myrtle Jenkins loved him as his biggest fan and saves him, leading Oswald to hold a manhunt for him, reaching to the Narrows, where Ed decides the best thing to mock Oswald with is by shouting ā€œI know you love me, You don’t love me?ā€ Ed stays in the Narrows instead of being captured by Oswald for his mockery because Ed’s under Lee’s protection, and The Riddler reveals that Ed’s dedication to Lee’s leadership is because he’s is love with Lee.

Oswald and Ed meet again in Arkham. Oswald is in Arkham because he faked the death of Martin, who he loved like a son.Ā 

The Riddler manipulated Ed into signing himself into Arkham so Oswald could set him free by using Ed’s love for Lee against him.Ā 

Ā Their entire relationship was created and changed by Love, even when it wasn’t for each other.

And now, Oswald and the Riddler are together again. I can’t wait to see how love marks their relationship now.

also the preview of Oswald and Jerome is amazing!!!!

It’s such a huge contrast to season 2 where Oswald was fixed to be completely sane, and here we get to see him rage completely like an animal along side clown boy.

Oswald has been suppressing too many things for too long. He was accused for ā€˜killing’ his father in season 3, for ‘killing’ Martin in the car explosion, and now he’s to blame for Carmine Falcone’s death??????? NOPE. THAT’S ENOUGH. My boy needs to vent, to scream, to cry, to laugh. And Jerome is there to help. And Jerome is there to help him. Good babies.

Agreed. I really hope we get some sort of callback to Fish’s words to him, “Make this city yours or you burn it to the ground.” And I am all for it tbh
