My Thoughts On “We’re Brothers”

My thoughts on “We’re brothers”

Ok so I have thoughts about that scene, as does every fan, and even though I wish we had actually gotten a canon confession, I am not AS mad as I was right after watching it for the first time (Yes, I’ve been watching it over and over, sue me 😆).

While the phrase “we’re brothers” certainly is awful, when I look at Robin’s acting and listen to the way he says it, it dawns on me that I know that pose: He’s used it every time he lies or competes with someone (Fish and Jim come to mind), it sounds a little sarcastic even. So he’s using the phrase to try and ease Edward into a false sense of security with those words, which Edward doesn’t really buy.

I do believe they had every intention of stabbing each other at first still -with some bitterness left- and, then, the hug happened without them planning anything to change. Dunno, I mean, they look so sure when they come into contact, but, as they hold onto each other, it dawns on them: They can’t, they physically can’t. By the time they smile they’ve realized they won’t hurt the other and would much rather be together. I think their objectives changed drastically in those seconds, going from truly wanting to stab the other in some belated revenge (or maybe trying to get rid of a weakness?) to wanting to hold tighter onto the other, like they used to. So yeah, the hug was like a key of sorts? They hadn’t embraced since season 3 when they were at their peak, then came the whole fallout (yeah, that “Together” from Ed also a giveaway that he wasn’t entirely honest either, thanks 3x19) and uneasy truce to working together in season 5 and, when they finally hug again after everything, to me it’s like a switch: It’s exactly what they needed to find what they really wanted from each other. It’s familiar, it’s safe, it’s right.

Also Oswald is honestly tearing up and looks so darn similar to “Anything for you” (yes, background music helped with that) and Ed’s smile and squished cheek when he tightens his hold are so precious I just can’t.

Finally, when Oswald says “Life starts anew” I took it as a refference to their relationship: Everything is past, now they will start it all over. As for Ed’s words, well, we all know where those came from (he’s been freed again, maybe?), he also smiles rather openly when he says them.

And I rambled but those are my thoughts, headcanon even, what do you guys think?

EDIT: Saw what Tze posted, I’ll take it 💖

this ever happened to anyone else? ..

- a song comes on the radio that reminds me of nygmobblepot and i start smiling

- my mom: “why you smiling? thinking of your crush?”

no mom i’m literally thinking of my otp i don’t have a crush, i rarely think about anyone but fictional characters..

Please I feel called out don't do that that's not nice

That “child with emotionally neglective parents” feel when you grew up having teachers, artists and just grown ups in general tell you you’re mature for your age, intelligent, gifted, talented, that they wish they were more like you; but all you’d ever hear at home is that you’re lazy, selfish, heartless, retarted etc. and growing up hearing such extremely different opinions about you - extremely positive opinions from strangers in contrast to harsh criticism from your parents - has severely impacted your sense of self esteem and you feel extremely ambiguous about yourself.

One minute, feeling like if so many different people have given you the same compliments then maybe you really are a smart, talented and good person, maybe it’s all true and you are actually going to have a good, comfortable, happy life; and the next, feeling hopeless, furious and disgusted at yourself and believing everything is gonna go wrong and you’re going to end up feeling miserable your whole life for absolutely no reason other than you just feel there’s something wrong with you even though you can’t tell what it is

If Lokius doesn't happen in season 2 I swear-

okay so look, what are you ppl doing?

you show us tom and owen bonding over a shakespeare play which has homoerotic implications

you give us a song called lokius and that song plays on the background while mobius drowns in his own jealousy

you change that bro hug into an intimate "i will love you forever and i don't want you to go, i am safe here" 13 seconds hug and you purposefully add a dagger into the scene

you don't market sophia and tom together even though their characters are supposed to be romantically involved. instead you put tom with owen

you name the song playing on the background during the s*lki kiss "stop" ffs

THE FUCK IS HAPPENING

I NEED AN EXPLANATION

literally if you’re new to tumblr: reblog shit

“it wont fit my aesthetic” make a sideblog. reblog to it.

“i hate tagging” don’t tag then. reblog it anyway.

“but my likes are public” ppl here dont fucking look at your likes. they dont do anything anyway. reblog it.

“you just want attention” jokes on you, I dont make shit anymore. I’m talking about other artists.

“it’s embarrassing” tumblr is an anonymous platform. make a sideblog if you’re too cowardly

“but on twitter its fine to have lurk accounts” well they suck ass here and are assumed to be bots. reblog.
