Emily Osborn - Blog Posts

so i said i manage otto, norman, rosie, emily and curt as friends since college? i feel like norman wouldn't have many friends after starting oscorp and that the five of them would be a great group of friends, like norman, otto and curt are discussing something about science and suddenly emily and rosie arrive from their last 19th century literature class and they start talking about the subject of their class and otto, norman and curt don't understand anything

Oooh I'm curious about your au, how did norman and otto reacted when they found out their wives are alive??

Well, for starters, they don't find out that both are alive at the same time, first they find out that Emily is alive and after they heal the lizard and it becomes curt again, they find out that Rosie is alive, since Curt recognized Otto and Norman and he was the one who put them in context about some things that had changed in this universe

Norman's reaction is mostly relief because he had been concerned that if there was a Harry Osborn in this universe the boy would be an orphan, but when he saw Emily next to a 6-year-old Harry during an oscorp presentation, Norman was relieved that his son was not alone and because he knew that Emily would be much better raising Harry than he had been, he also cried a little because Emily had been his best friend before they got married and it was a relief to see the happy and healthy one, you found the last memory that norman had of her which was ill emily wanting to say goodbye to a little harry

On the other hand Otto doesn't take it as well as Norman, he cries a lot, he cries everything he didn't cry when he was under the influence of the AI, he goes to where rosie lives and sees her through a window sees how this rosie she looks happy note how she seems to have a certain normality in her life and otto doesn't want to ruin that, so otto makes the decision that rosie will never find out about his existence, otto takes a long time to get over his rosie's death, and even more time to mentalize about the fact that the rosie of this universe is not her rosie, that she had 11 years to accept the death of otto, while otto has only had a few months to accept the 180 degree turn that his life gave, during all of that norman was a great support for otto, essentially being the pillar that kept otto from completely collapsing

(It must be said that the idea that rosie does not discover the existence of Otto does not last long just like emily does not discover the existence of Norman)
