#twodles

*The antisocial bitch will ALSO run around giggling/cackling like an idiot, but only when the proper environmental conditions are met

Like- Riddler is 100% draping himself against Twoface mid monologue, and it’s fine because he’s a dramatic bitch about it, it works

This should be them

Harley is better with Ivy, Joker is toxic gay for Batman, just let Riddler and Twoface have the flair n fun poses. Ed is allowed to be arm candy, he likes it, let them swap!

And!! It’s not weird n mysoginistic anymore!!! Goes from Odd to just In Character

Please no one gets them like @s-e-v-e-n-24 gets them and it’s killing me im starving over here

Ed:

Ed: yeah sure I’ll cook whenever if you’re paying for it

Anyway

Petition to rename Twiddler to Twodles*

*the W is silent

Two(face)(ri)ddles, it’s right there and it actually sounds cute. Toodles. That’s so them.

There are less than a handful of fics for them in the Gotham tv fandom and they’re mostly all. bad. bc they use the ‘Harvey has anger issues and is big n strong n would theirfore not have any control over himself’ logic. Which.. No?

Bc while, yes, Harvey DOES have anger issues and is def more physically fit than ed, that doesn’t mean abuse is the only possible outcome, he’s not slamming him into any walls over spilled coffee

I would actually go far as to argue that Harvey having these traits is The Whole Point

Operating on General dc lore here but- Ed’s dad fucked him up. That man had anger issues. That situation was half blamed on Ed provoking said anger issues by doing what, who knows. breathing? it “wasn’t his dads fault” so no one ever stepped in the implication from the other adults around (without anger issues) not disagreeing with his dad is. Not fun.

Then you have Harvey

Anger issues

Definitely stronger than him

Never even Looks at him wrong because obviously he doesnt, why would he abuse his boyfriend

Living loving proof that it was in fact not Ed’s fault and even with an anger problem most people can control themselves perfectly fine when it comes to their partner or child

It’s Healing

Ed is a direct opposite of how Harvey was raised too, he pays attention and puts in effort and thinks Harv is worth effort and just- They Are Mutually Healing And Proof That Their Pasts Were Wrong

Harvey is very strong and physically bigger than Ed, yes, this is true but this doesn’t inherently mean abuse, no, it means potential

Credit to @s-e-v-e-n-24 for wording it so well but have we so easily forgotten the Big/Small dynamic? "Bodyguard" who would kill if asked for someone who would do the same?

Please it’s the muscle and mastermind duo except BOTH of them are smart as hell so really they’re just The Worst for Gotham to deal with

Let them be cute let Harvey give his bf niche legal terms to make riddles with

They even have compatible mental illness! OCD solidarity, they would get eachother, there’s an inherent understanding. And with the things they don’t share it’s just a matter of learning, which they’re both fully capable of because again we know how smart they are. Plus, Ed is friends with Harley. If a book can’t explain them then she can

And they’re both clingy as hell!!! You know they are!!! Look at them look at their trauma how else do you think that manifests?? PDA but they’re stylish about it. Even sappy kisses are significantly cooler in front of explosions

Toxic ships are GREAT, don’t get me wrong but come on guys. It’s not even usually well written. It always infatalizes Ed and dehumanizes Harvey. It’s always a wattpad quality jekyl and hyde thing that makes Harvey evil just bc he’s plural and just- He has basic control of himself. He’s not an animal. Anger issues don’t cancel that out.

“he’s big and strong and gets mad easily so obviously he would abuse Ed and Ed is smol uwu boy so he would just take it” what are we talking about who do you think these characters are
