Hello mr. Riddler! Have you read the book House of Leaves? If so, what did you think of it? If not, then you should read it, you might like it.

>> JUST RIDDLER IS FINE. THANK YOU. >> I'VE BEEN CONSIDERING THIS ONE BUT I HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO READING IT YET. ERGODIC LITERATURE DOES INTEREST ME.

Oh I love these !

🌾🌼🍁

🌾 - do they have any favourite foods?

edward knows a lot of people associate him with pumpkin pie. me included. but he's not a huge fan of sweet treats. for food, he often reaches for something more into hearty. a standard comfort meal that's easy to stomach, warm and without more complicated cooking requirements: soups. edward enjoys soups. particularly chicken noodle with a rich broth and plenty of veggies.

🌼 - do they have any vices or bad habits?

his knee-jerk reaction to veer into self-loathing the minute someone isn't very receptive to his presence or something doesn't quite go his way. edward is incredibly prone to self-hatred. growing up and being faced with so much rejection, he has learned to reject himself first, in a way. he wallows in his own suffering often. discussed on a post before, edward has a tendency to ground himself with pain, with the more minor manifestations tend to be picking at his skin until it bleeds or biting his nails, but he can become incredibly fixated with his own pain. something about the sense of control brings him comfort. he understands it's not healthy, he just can't seem to get rid of it either

🍁 - what’s their favourite season? why?

i feel like edward likes spring. he's not too deterred by the gloominess of rain, especially because gotham seems to be gloomy no matter what the season is. secretly, the promise of harsh gotham winters thawing out is something he holds close to his heart. summer is too overwhelming and extreme heat makes him tempermental and easily overstimulated, fall is bland and only a reminder of the awful winters that creep up on the city... but spring? spring is something worth embracing. not that he thinks about it that much.

oh and also .🔮 . ik that's like 5 of em but. i wanna hear it!!!   ( ;´꒳`;) ​ /ooc

🔮 - are they superstitious?

not really... but i think he's kind of weird about it. edward definitely somewhat believes in higher powers, which have forsaken him his entire life, but he's not the type to toss salt over his shoulder if he spills it. edward finds himself scoffing at most superstitions but understands that often, it's less about genuine belief and more of passed down habits. a "just in case" over a meaningless issue.

🎭 🪞🌻☕️ for the ask game..? (∗´ര ᎑ ര`∗) /ooc (i'm very certain about the mirror one, actually . i just wanted to hear it from you and . go crazy KLSDHFMNG OTL)

🎭 - how honest are they?

the truth is very important to edward. it's basically his entire mission. that being said, he feels like it's necessary — even moral — to omit certain information for the greater good. on his end, at least. after years of lies, edward wants the people who've abused their power and covered their tracks to finally be shown for what they really are. getting to that point, however, means that he needs to be even more clever at the game their playing. obviously, he feels like he's under no obligation to be honest if it would risk what bigger things he's trying to reveal. in his every day life? pretty honest. just not 100% transparent. that wouldn't be very smart.

🪞 how do they feel about their own appearance; are they vain, shy, self loathing, etc.?

answered here.

🌻 - do they like flowers? Do they have a favourite?

star of bethlehem is speaking to me somehow... invasive in north america, poisonous, and they tend to open in the late evening. i've also read somewhere that (other than the very obvious biblical connotations that it's name carries) they symbolize truth and honesty. edward probably isn't able to pick a specific favourite, given the fact that i don't think he's great with caring for plants at all... but he might appreciate these flowers.

☕️ - how do they take their tea and/or coffee? Do they prefer to make it themselves or go to a cafe?

nothing too complicated but definitely not someone who drinks coffee black. edward finds lattes nice. indulgent, but nice. two cream, one sugar as his default. maybe a pinch of cinnamon if he's feeling fancy that day. he's not great at making coffee but his skills are passable enough for him to drink what he creates. his ass is NOT making a good latte though. he'll leave that one to the cafes.

💫 🌙 🪞

please read pinned for potentially relevant content warnings.

💫 - what’s their favourite kind of story?

edward typically reads more non-fiction, but i can definitely see him indulging in certain types of fiction. the type of books you analyze in high school as comfort reads, maybe. i can also see him enjoying very dense, difficult to read books like absalom, absalom! by william faulkner. no this is not because i was trying to work my way through this one... edward does NOT settle for beach reads, frankly. something slow paced and introspective to help out his racing mind while also giving him something stimulating to engage with. he wants something he can sink his teeth into.

🌙 - what’s their sense of humour like?

a weird mix of dry, dark, and incredibly corny. "he lies still" was practically a punchline... not that edward sees it that way, but he definitely giggled to himself while writing that one. other times, edward finds that his jokes tend to miss people entirely because of the tone he delivers them in. he understands he's not very funny.

🪞 how do they feel about their own appearance; are they vain, shy, self loathing, etc.?

he's not fond of it, i will tell you that! edward understands the mold of conventional beauty standards is not one that reflects his image. this fact alone doesn't keep him up at night, but it does lower his self esteem pretty heavily, adding to the seemingly endless list of things that people might look down on him for. in a more convoluted, less physical way of approaching this question, edward hates the misery his body has brought him. there is the burden of existence that he finds himself crumbling under the weight of when he's left to think about it for too long. the idea of simply being, of having this vessel to carry around and being forced to live the way he did for so many years. there's a form of self-loathing resting there. but edward has become more accustomed to being a vessel for greater purpose recently. these are the hands that bludgeoned a man to death with a carpet tucker, that built torture devices that brought dark secrets into the light, that wrote riddles and helped tear down seawalls ― what more can they do now that they've proven to be capable of so much justice? edward is no longer worthless.
