rp/ask blog!!

[inquire-the-riddler]

Hello citizens of Gotham, and wherever else this may reach.

Hiding from the public, and private, eyes have proven to become quite a bit of a bore recently. So, here I am. Ask away, to the master of puzzles, the Riddler!

-he/him

HA.

[blog info, full design, and stuff below!]

NO NSFW ‼️ i am a minor and i rlllyyyyy don’t want to see any asks w that pretty please

Hello!! Idk what I’m really doing, so prepare for a bit of a learning curve. This is an ask/RP blog for my DC AU riddler! I will hopefully be responding to asks w art :D ! I don’t think i’m actually going to put in his lore here so he’s just kind of a normal riddler but he got exploded this one time 👍

Edward “The Riddler” Nygma:

-he/him

-mid 20’s

-trans man

-broke out of Arkham about a year ago, and has been evading capture ever since. He’s still doing normal Riddler evil schemes, but he seems to be lying low while he crafts his ultimate scheme.

Hi, big fan :DDDD

I really want to ask, what are your earrings made of? They look massive and heavy as shit. Do you have superhuman earlobes?

Also did you make your prosthetic leg yourself? Looks very cool :]

“Also, I’d like to think I have superhuman earlobes; but truly it’s just a mix of clay earrings and a high pain tolerance.”

[inquire-the-riddler]

Though I imagine you intend to never face off against the Batman in a hand-to-hand combat scenario, the Batman’s plans tend to involve rendering an opponent unconscious and arrested through hand-to-hand combat. Do you have any plans of your own to prevent such a scenario or even win a hand-to-hand combat circumstance?

“While I have… many plans of defeating good old B in hand-to-hand combat, there’s also a reason I’m usually elsewhere. I prefer to be somewhere else beating him mind-to-mind.”

“I presume blunt force trauma from a particular question mark cane would buy me at least a little bit of time if needed, though.”

[inquire-the-riddler]

So we know the leg went boom, but how exactly did that explosion happen? What led up to it? Was it an accident with a trap you set for Batman, did you piss off another rogue?

And uh, what’s your favourite genre or genres of art? Just in case you’re tired of to many leg related questions

“I… don’t have to fuckin’ answer that.”

The video shuts off rather aggressively.

(nothing against ur ask!! this will all get answered eventually it’s just sort of a touchy subject for him and I’m just still scheming some things up :D) //ooc

AHAHAHHAHAHA HI, MR. RIDDLER, SIR, I'M A UHHHH REALLY BIG FAN AHAHA!!!

Anyway,

What twists and turns its own words but still wants you to find the "hidden" answer?

“I assume that’s the answer you were looking for.”

“And, very nice to know I have a very big fan.”

[miss-tuesday]

Choose a new idol. This one is faulty

[inquire-the-riddler]

I think I am a perfectly good idol.

[inquire-the-riddler]

How long have you been the riddler for?

“It mostly depends on what your definition of me being the Riddler is.”

“I’ve been riddling my entire life, if that counts. There was also a rather.. embarrassing, moment where I went by the Enigma… I’d rather not think of that though.”

“Then, would you count Arkham? If so; about nine or so years including everything.”

I’m waterproofing the riddlebots and they’re being difficult

“I go up when used, but I’m not a balloon. I have a handle but I’m not a car door. I get wet but I’m not a washcloth. I go above your head but I’m not mistletoe, what am I?”

[miss-tuesday]

I’m too dirty minded for this riddle Eddie

[inquire-the-riddler]

The answer is an umbrella.

For waterproofing, get it?

[miss-tuesday]

I’m sorry but if i gave them umbrella hats that would look so stupid

Umbrellas though… something something Totoro…

[inquire-the-riddler]

mmm, true. Would rain ponchos look less stupid or more stupid than umbrella hats?

That would be some cool inspiration.

Mr. Riddle Man, what happened to your leg?

“A blast.”

“A pretty big one.”

[mister-riddler]

I wish my Story were as dramatic as that

[inquire-the-riddler]

Oh hello! It’s nice to meet you.

I’m sure yours is too. If it isn’t, something will pop up eventually, it is Gotham after all, right?

[mister-riddler]

Oh, I just lost most of my mobility from falling off a roof. Luckily, I made myself some extra arms to make up for it

A pleasure. Edward, I take it?

[inquire-the-riddler]

Oof. Innovative, though!

The pleasure is mine, and yes. I presume you’re also Edward?

Hello Mr Nygma, I just wanted to say that you’re my favourite of all of Batman’s adversaries, I can’t wait to see what you scheme up next :)

“I’m my favourite ‘Batman Adversary’, too!”

“You should be very vocal to the other rogues about this, I’m sure they’d love it too.” [haha wink wink pls don’t i’m joshing]

“I do have something cooking on the back burner currently…”

[inquire-the-riddler]

Mr. Riddle Man, what happened to your leg?

When it comes to schemes, what's your favourite place/person in Gotham to target, and why?

“Okay. There are a lot of people that are fun to hit, all for different reasons.”

“Corrupt government officials, normal officials, those imbeciles at GCPD if I really want a laugh, etc, etc. Places.. I’ll keep the specifics close to my chest, but usually largely populated areas. Lets me cast a wide net, more of an opportunity for someone with a little higher intellect than others to give me a little bit of a challenge.”

“If I really want to flex my brain muscles a little bit more than I would with the GCPD officers, I make sure to hit a place that Batman frequents often.”

Mr. Riddle Man, what happened to your leg?

“A blast.”
