Its not all Ravens and Writing Desks

Independent Edward Nygma / The Riddler RP blog from Gotham/DCU. An interpretation of an interpretation. Selective and highly under construction.From the same Mun that brought you Petrolexplosivo, Darthtryhard, Nuxtheuncrackable.

Just your average Multiverse Bartender, here to talk about your depression, not his depression.

Indie Doctor Steven “Strange Supreme”, Master Sorcerer of the Forbidden Arts of the multiverse.  

Semi-selective due to spotty IRL availability

A sad old man who’s trying his best and needs to get out more

Open to long winded eloquent diatribes, and short spurts of shenanigans, as applicable. 

May contain depressive and horror themes, but generally considered PG13. Mun is old and ace.

From the Mun that brought you @akillerconundrum, @darthtryhard, @nuxtheuncrackable-blog, and many more!

Promo art doodled by me. There might be more doodles in the future idk.

OOC:

Hey y’all. I know I haven’t been around much. I still love Ed and will probably return here again when moral improves, but like... yeah. My heart isn’t really into writing right now. 

Anyhoo just wanted to check in and say: Wear a goddamn mask, we’re in a pandemic, it’s not political it’s common decency for the safety of everyone. 

Also, All Cops Are Bastards, and I have no room for bootlicking supremacists here. We can’t and shouldn’t go back to “normal”, because “normal” is bullshit.  Everyone deserves better. Especially our BIPOC friends. 

Love you all, even if you disagree. I still love you and think you can do better. 

Just remember to think.

“And that,” Ed flipped to the next slide of his presentation, turning with utmost professionalism to Oswald as he stood in the light of the projector, “Is my explanation as to why you should invest in my plan to create a thirty story Escape Room.”

[kxngofgotham]

“Doesn’t thirty stories seem a bit..excessive?” It’s an honest criticism, as eyes dart to his companion once the presentation is officially over and done. 

“Frankly, Edward my dear old friend, this seems rather…convoluted.” Hands thread together, resting on the top of his desk before he leans forward,  “And certainly not profitable.” 

“What’s in it for me?” 

[akillerconundrum]

“I already explained the size necessity to hide in plain sight- with the continued construction expansion efforts, you can rent out these areas,” He returned his attention to the slide projector, flipping back to the diagrams in question, “These areas you would become landlord for casual, civilian office space, giving you this entire area of the building,” He motioned to the center core of the place, “The Bat would never think to look until it’s already complete and too late! THEN, he’d be forced to descend down through, solving my puzzles one by one out of fear the civilians residing in the outer rings could become casualties should he fail!” His hands raised victoriously, as though that was all the explanation he felt was needed.

The scene of the crime was grizzly, a complicated tableau of the violent tragedy of Gotham’s streets. Before anyone had even noticed his presence, an enthusiastic voice spoke up from behind the detective, “What has four fingers and a thumb but isn’t alive?”  Ed was already on the scene, crouched beside a dead body with a bright smile.

[noahsflynn-archive]

It’s been forever, right? I should bust you right now. Oh, come on, Jim, don’t be grumpy.

[homoeroticism]

You fool me once, Jim, shame on you. You fool me twice… Well, that’s just not gonna happen!

[akillerconundrum]

Hey Y’all, just letting you know I’m still alive and kickin’, just bogged down by ((gestures at the general state of everything)). Been hard to get myself to write. I miss you all, and I miss writing Ed, and I hope to get my groove back soon. Just puttin’ it out there: I love you all, think you’re all fantastic and I’m still here, even if a bit quiet atm. <33

These violent delights have violent ends

Edward paused in his tightening of the buckles on the saddlebag, brows knit as he turned to try to see who it was that had whispered in his ear.  It had been… a woman’s voice, maybe? No, not quite- something else? He couldn’t quite wrap his head around it.  He’d come into town for supplies, like he always did, but normally people avoided him, which was understandable. 

He wasn’t like the other blacksmiths. 

For one, instead of a horse, he road a strange, three wheeled contraption, crafted from wagon wheels and an iron and wood frame housing a small steam engine.  

These violent delights have violent ends. The words were familiar somehow, but he couldn’t wrap his mind around where he had heard it before- if he’d heard it before, what it could possibly mean, who had said it- it stuck in his mind like a strange puzzle… He had business to tend to, though, and needed to be quick before-

“What in Tarnation is this supposed to be, Mr. Nygma?” Came the drawling voice of a man who had probably not only drank his breakfast but his supper the night before as well. 

“Good morning, Mr. Dunn. It’s a steam-loco-velocipede-” Edward began, straightening his bowler indignantly as he quickly moved toward the saddle. 

“You that bad at doin’ shoes, you’re tryin’ to re-invent the horse?” Mr. Dunn laughed, as did his handful of associates all moving to surround the contraption, one of who spat his chew toward Edward’s feet, hitting him in the shin. 

“I’m actually quite capable at-” he mumbled before someone’s fist was thrown directly in his stomach. 

“We already told you to keep your mad hogwash outta’ Sweetwater. There’s women present!”

“Not that you’d know what onna’ them looks like! Ha!” Another added, as well as his boot to the mix…

I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins.

“Right.” He still had a sip, just to get the taste out of his mouth. “Well, thanks for the company during lunch, Ed.” The remainders of his lunch were gathered and deposited in the nearest trash can. I’ll let you get back to whatever you were working on.”

“Oh,” Ed’s beaming smile faded a little in quiet disappointment, “Well, ah... thank you as well, Detective. I... very much appreciate it.  Any time, my office is open. I suppose I’ll talk to you when I have those results.” And figure out what to do about the taste issue in his concoction. He’d have to leave an updated version of the formula mixture on Jim’s desk later, he was sure he’d need it.

Ed and Jim are really two peas in a pod when it comes to relationships

Jim: falls in and out of relationships without much effort on his part, has no clue how to keep it stable, wrecks all of them

Ed: has no clue how to enter a relationship, some how manages to have three, wrecks all of them

@akillerconundrum

[akillerconundrum]

Two and two halves, one could say, adding up to three. The best of relationships end in a fatality (or close to it) or so is his understanding
