#…I’m just now realizing how monotonous Ed’s life probably was pre-Season 2 #he went to work and he tried to get people to notice him and mostly they didn’t and he went home #his apartment is packed to the brim with weird stuff #ironically it feels like a bird lining its nest #he spends a LOT of time in there #totally alone #he tries to bring Kristen in and that goes horrifically wrong #he tries to bring Oswald in and that goes really well… but then Oswald leaves #and after getting used to going to work and being on the phone with Penguin all day and hiding his secrets from his colleagues #and coming home to somebody messing around on his piano and complaining he bought the wrong kind of peanut butter…#it had to be tough to go back to the daily grind #no wonder he fixated really hard on his ‘epic battle’ against Jim #no wonder he’s so unabashedly THRILLED here when Oswald comes BACK #it’s a happy surprise – he’s not used to those #he seeks people out but they don’t come to HIM #(….if you love something let it go right??) #(also the fact that Oswald comes to Ed with advice instead of for help hurts me) #(Ed brought him here in the first place as a favor – he’s trying to repay it) #(trying to be a good friend) (via @sure-as-eggs)

This is the first time that Lucius and Ed interact or are even really made aware of each other, and I find Lucius’ quick response and way of responding to Ed’s riddle really interesting and sort of telling for what happens with them in season 3.

Ed’s way of answering questions is often another riddle and so far everyone that he’s encountered have either found it baffling/annoying (Gordon, Alfred, Oswald) or extremely irritating (Bullock).

Then we have Lucius. Who not only immediately grasps what Ed is trying to relate, but simply takes it as it is, without annoyance or irritation. Sort of “Oh, this is how this guy communicates. I understand and accept this, and I know the answer can will reply.”

And Ed’s reaction is understandable surprise, it’s plain on his face. I genuinely think that Lucius is the first to just accept Ed’s little quirk of riddles and answer him genuinely.**

Later on in “How the Riddler Got His Name” it REALLY makes sense about how Lucius deals with Ed and the way he does things. He’s had this moment before, this moment of understanding that there’s a brilliant but quirky brain inside Ed Nygma, and he sympathizes.

So yeah, I really think that Lucius Fox was the first person to ever “get and accept” Edward Nygma and how he functioned, without any judgement.

**Kristen got there eventually, and I’m not throwing her progress with Ed under the bus, but at first, her reaction was not accepting (and also Ed was pestering her lots of not so great ways)
