Breaking news, gay man, reflecting of the thoughts of in love with a girl he forced himself to be in love with and completely conflicting himself because he knows that he’s gay but the compulsion to be normal, accepted and loved the way society views it without it having to be that other gay man who loves him more than anything, has now broken down upon seeing her at her lowest.

Gotham 2x6//3x8//3x14 - Ed grabbing his partners

[cowchickenbeefpork]

you know even though it’s important to acknowledge how sexist/homophobic the writing was for Isabella and how shes definitely not good for edward(her actions in the dress up scene can easily be interpreted as rape since Edward is consistently mentally ill in this show and literally went to Arkham for it) but to paint her as someone intentionally malicious is very ????? Strange to me.

it paints her as someone calculating, someone who know what they’re doing is wrong but does it anyways which isn’t like how we see her act in the show at all. We see her risk her life for a man who she’s only dated (AND KNOWN!!!!) in the SPAN OF A WEEK!!! A WEEK PEOPLE!!! The first time she risked her life was when she found out he used to be in Arkham and killed his previous girlfriend and stayed with him nonetheless and the second was when she risked being strangled to death while she was dressed up as Kristen to prove he wouldn’t hurt her. Both of these events happened within the same week. If you were planning to intentionally abuse someone in order to make yourself feel more in control and powerful, why would you pick a man who went into Arkham for killing his previous partner LET ALONE DRESS UP AS HER TO PROVE YOUR LOVE TO HIM???? Someone doing this intentionally would at least wait and pace these events around in order to ensure their safety, not do that all at once. Isabella does them all at once.

even with the clone theory attached to her it still just. Doesn’t really paint her as someone who is mature enough to know what her actions are doing. The clones are at most around a year old, and I don’t think you ever get a good grasp of morals in the span of only a year alive even if you were born as an adult. Even if you head-canon her behavior to be motivated by the court of the owls as a intentional act to separate Ed and Oswald, the blame still wouldn’t fully be on her because of the fact she is a clone whose barely lived a life. This would be her just following orders, not fully understanding the morals of it because this is all she’s ever known!

I know it’s because she doesn’t have a lot of content so she’s more flexible as a character which makes you be able to make her whatever you want her to be but it’s like !!!! We like the same show right??? Why aren’t you not utilizing the little bits of characterization we do get of her in canon for your version of her? What’s the point of writing for such an underdeveloped character if you only keep around one to two traits in the end?

it just feels like wasted potential. With a character like her you can explore how sometimes not all abusers know what they’re doing. You can explore how sometimes abusers are hurting their own well being with their abuse. You can explore how sometimes abusers are also victims. You can explore abusers who aren’t the most standard basic idea of abuse with someone like her and yet it’s the route not taken!!!!

Okay, but why was Ed only romantically involved with people who have some of the worst hairstyles I’ve ever seen?

[mysticalarmand]

Barbara: Ed likes being pegged, prove me wrong

Oswald: I can confirm

Isabella: Can confirm

Lee: Can confirm

Kristen: Can confirm

Barbara: I'm not surprised he takes the strap

[carveredlunds]

He loves me. And I love him. Do you know how rare that is, Mr. Mayor?

[h4unted-d4rling]

Too soon? Isabella slayed honestly

[killingbitingetc]

Sorry I find Isabella's obsession with the personalities of fiction deeply compelling because it implies an extreme disconnection from the rest of the world and the feeling that she will never find her emotional or intellectual equal, that she will never be fully understood because she cannot be until she is. As if it's my fault.

My mom watching Gotham with me: aww, Isabella and Edward look so cute together!

She after that Isabella’s craziest transformation into Kristen Kringle: mmmmmmm, what was that penguin boy’s name again??

trying to teach my homunculus not to blindly follow and believe dangerous societal norms while also trying to avoid making her only agree with me because she wants to make sure I don’t hate her

[philosopherking1887]

This would be such a sad explanation for why Ed doesn't believe it when Barbara insists that Oswald is in love with him: he thought he might be, but then dismissed the possibility because Oswald had his chance to say something and didn't take it. Ed thinks: "If what Oswald had to say was that he was in love with me, he wouldn't have forgotten. If Oswald were in love with me, he would have kissed me on that couch."

I think the other important aspect of this is that Ed sees Oswald as brave and fearless, ready to seize the world by the throat and take whatever he wants from it, so he simply can't imagine that Oswald might be too shy to initiate a kiss or tell him he loves him.

HELPP ISABELLA CLOCKED OSWALD SO QUICK LMAOOAOAO
