>> here's a query for you: is a person cut in half two people?

>> do you want to find out?

queryful, an original portrayal / take on the r.iddler originally of d.etective comics fame, now made infamous by ramone, they/them, 26. expect low and sporadic activity. 21+ only, oc and crossover friendly, AI usage unwelcomed, trivia knowledge optional.

rules beneath cut. doc. prompts. headcanons. opens.

Ripping the bandaid off now: I implore you to actually read the contents of my blog before you write my portrayal off as a genderbend. No, she’s not Edward but a woman. She has no relation to Nygma or Nashton. She’s her own thing, such as all the separate Robins all held the same moniker. Please think of her in that regard. She’s not a replacement; in fact, I’d love to interact with other R.iddlers! Two’s company, after all.

Yes, my R.iddler IS inspired by the 2022 The B.atman film, but I’ve incorporated other influences such as H.arlan E.llison and his works (mostly regarding AM from I Have No Mouth…, etc.), Bl.ack M.irror episode 3 episode 3, a dash of the book version of and J.ack N.icholson's portrayal of J.ack T.orrance, and a pinch of J.im C.arrey’s portrayal. I did this because I wanted to. And that’s that. I don't have a faceclaim because I find nothing fits my vision, but I do occasionally post sketches / doodles. I don't do AI and I don't want to commission someone when I don't have a good reference point, but maybe sometime in the future I will.

All that aside, I’m Ramone, I’m 26, and I use they/them pronouns. I’m an autistic lesbian. My muse is also an autistic lesbian (and more, but back to the point) and I want respect for her. I shouldn’t have to state that misogyny and lesbophobia / homophobia have no place here, but I will also tack on that racism, ableism, and transphobia aren’t welcome either. Your muse doesn’t have to like mine, but you, as the writer, need to show respect to me, a fellow person. We’re all playing Barbies on the Internet, let’s be nice to each other. 

That being said, please communicate with me. If I misinterpret or misunderstand something, kindly correct me. If I ask follow-up questions or seem inquisitive, it's because I have autism and I am trying to understand and process stuff. I also have a lot on my plate IRL, which is my priority, seeing how this is a hobby, after all. I will be slow and I cannot guarantee any fast/speedy/quick replies or responses to asks and threads. Why? Because I am going to be back at college and going for my doctorate. Why? Because I’m insane. That’s all, no further questions. All in all, please don’t rush me or poke me unless it’s been over a month or so. Sometimes I have stuff squirreled away in drafts, sometimes Tumblr eats stuff I cram in there or I thought I holed it away, but I didn’t. Either way, if I expressed interest… I will get to it eventually! Please don’t take my silence / slowness as me being disinterested; it’s very much the opposite; I just have a busy life and want to have fun on here when I can!

Triggers on this blog (including biography/backstory) include mentions of abusive parents and abuse, mentions of alcoholism, mentions of drug abuse, mentions of mental health and mental illness, lots and lots of murder, manipulation, gaslighting, stalking, verbal harassment, blackmailing, home invasion, keeping trophies, verbal and written threats, and arson. These will be tagged accordingly as they appear on the dash; if I forget something, tell me and I’ll fix it asap. As for me, I’d prefer if suggestive / nsfw / smut be tagged. I’m all for being free and sexual, but I don’t really like seeing it when I’m not a part of it. It oddly makes me feel like some sort of Peeping Tom. I don’t know how best to describe that, but I hope this makes enough sense. I don’t participate often in smut because I feel awkward discussing lesbian stuff in a largely non-lesbian / non-sapphic space. If I do seriously participate, it will only be with ship partners. Suggestive jokes may occur whenever. 

As for shipping, I prefer chemistry ooc and ic. I want to make friends and write and ship with people I can trust and who I know are enthusiastic about doing stuff with me. Jillian is a lesbian. She will only date women or nonbinary people / other lesbians / sapphics. Friendships and otherwise are also wanted and cherished, please don’t think your muse doesn’t have worth or purpose interacting with mine because ours can’t kiss. I want y'all to know that I appreciate a good friendship / rivalry / enemies / frenemies / familial just as much as a romantic ship. 

Plotting tends to scare me when I have to do all the thinking and reaching out. Truly, I treat this as a collaborative effort. Enthusiasm makes me enthusiastic; I will return the energy I am given! If you don’t want to write anymore, please hard block me instead of keeping me around. Don’t soft block me, please. I’ll try to refollow because I’ll most likely assume it was a mistake or a Tumblr glitch. I’d like to avoid that embarrassment; I honor blocks and would prefer that if I block you, that you don’t block evade.

Send me memes or asks or anons or whatever whenever. I will answer them as I can but enjoy having them anytime! Again, I’ll be pretty slow, but I cherish everything I get. Anon will be turned off as I deem fit. I can and will block rude anons that are not in an obvious in character context. 

I feel like my Riddler may come off as OP but think about it like this: she has no powers; she’s just a normal person. Her strength comes from using others and making them do the crazier / bolder stuff for her. Her power is her mind. Yes, she has killed and overpowered people before, but it’s usually after she’s worn them down mentally and they can’t or won’t fight back. Hand to hand combat is not her forte, as she’s not used to having an opponent that punches as hard as a masked vigilante. 

I hope these rules don’t come off as ugly, rude, or condescending. I truly am just trying to keep my peace and create a space where I feel free and safe to write. I’m truly nicer than this probably makes me sound; I love to create and talk ooc! I’ve just been around Tumblr for over 5 years and the kinda crap that I’ve dealt with, encountered, and seen will drive anybody insane.

PROMPTS FROM TASKMASTER SEASON 19 *  assorted dialogue from the tv show, adjust as necessary

i understand. i mean, i think you're absolutely fucking stupid for saying it.

if you don't mind, i'd like to just dwell on the regret.

i'm either going to hate you, or i'm going to hate myself.

don't make me look silly.

do i have a choice?

other people had boyfriends, and i had batman.

you've both met ed sheeran?

this is weird.

i don't think i'm getting paid enough for this.

yeah, i've thought about that more than once a day, every day since.

come on, you little fucker.

you've been raiding the old tombs again, have you?

it's quite rude.

that's what i call mine.

i'm just happy she's getting laid.

why are you saying that?

let's see the fruits of their labor.

i painted my whole room when i was a teenager in batman style.

when do you guys ever have fun?

i imagine this is what your house is like. empty.

oh, that's a bit mean.

i was on my period.

shut up. shut up with the puns.

i dread to ask what you've brought in.

oh hang on, what's happening there?

so far i agree. do you agree?

i think the best thing for a middle aged man to have on his bedside table is a book of poetry.

you have fifteen minutes.

why are you dressed like this?

i'm busy giving you a dirty look.

when i've finished with you, i'm gonna go to him.

is that your dirty look?

don't worry, we're gonna get married. this is foreplay.

i thought yours was good, as well.

don't play me.

i think probably everyone in the room can do this.

ask me another one.

i'm not impressed.

tricky, tricky, tricky.

i was just gonna lie down.

i can't actually do that.

i go to friend's houses, and they just pour me red wine out of a bottle. and i think, "you haven't got a decanter."

that's so snooty, i don't even understand it.

have you washed these carrots?

i like your system.

i think you might be close to the edge.

i remember that fondly.

shall we do it?

i'm gonna go and get a guitar.

now, super quick question. can i get on the roof?

if you could use one word to describe me, what would it be?

is that you? looks like you.

there is something oddly satisfying about it.

i am a man of my word, and i told you you would get an an opportunity to see me take my trousers and pants down/

i didn't say when or where.

i've seen all the mission impossibles. you aren't in it.

somehow, i had it in my mind i had to crack the code.

is it a lemon?

what if i hopped the fence and went into the golf course and you never saw me again?

what are you going to do with the shoes?

i went on a date with a woman who was much stronger than me once. and i didn't mind it.

i'm not gonna lie. i crushed it.

i have fucked it.

is "ha ha" a word?

don't look!

i like mushrooms.

listen, you're getting a bit aggressive, okay?

you started as a thoughtful, attentive man and now you're becoming an arsehole.

we were the monsters, weren't we?

i don't really respect myself.

i started crying, and then he took me to mcdonalds.

>> @deathofold accuses: that's not what you told me over the phone.

Jillian scoffs, hands balling into fists deep in her denim jacket's pockets.

"Um, duh," she retorts, "do you think I'm stupid enough to just give out info like that over the line? Sure, I withheld some details. You could say that, but I was doing the smart thing." She snorts, kicks away some imaginary pebble on the ground.

"Don't you know how people can trace that shit? Tap it, even?" She furrows her brow and sighs as she produces a slightly wrinkled, yet otherwise sterile envelope. Inside, a few instructions and notes jotted on paper and one nondescript flash drive with some goods on it. "Do you still want what I got or not?"

[queryful]

>> @dichotomiess (score) stated: ❝ you'll be the only rational person left after i leave tomorrow. ❞

"Of course I will. Are you somehow surprised?"

Jillian peers at them over her tinted lenses, sizing them up. "If there's one thing I could bet on easily and win, it's my intelligence." She stops for a second, unwilling to keep that topic up for grabs, and then immediately pivots. "Anyways, how many suckers did you reel in? The way you're talking, it sounds like you got the whole city, and to that, I say: good! Fuck 'em!"

[queryful]

she may be a techie, but she has her limits.

[doctordread]

business partner was rather fond of wasting his money on lavish events such as this one. while he often kept adelaide out of the greater public eye, not even jack grimm could stop the woman from prowling the grounds.

❝ where's the fun in bein' here if y'ain't gonna' dance? ❞ a sweeping bow is offered first, followed by the tipping of her hat and the offering of a hand. she smiles. toothy, stretched. ❝ allow me, darlin'. i can lead, y' jus' gotta' watch y'er footin'. i ain't bite. 'less y' want me t'. ❞

[queryful]

"i'm not here for fun," jillian is very quick to correct, "i'm here for... business." she was on edge, hating having to mingle and act a certain way, but seeing adelaide made her feel slightly better, even with the button eyes, sewn smile, and lack of shoes. she certainly didn't seem to give a shit about fitting in. she sighs but decides to give in and places her hand in her new dance partner's.

"...but because you're so charming, i'll play along. and maybe i wouldn't mind a little nibble later."

there in the yahd, not too fah from the cah. how's that?

i got bit by a vampire.

those swings are dangerous. stay off there.

i think you're gonna live.

it's not the prettiest thing i've ever seen.

look, i reported it to you, didn't i?

your folks were born here, right?

here for the summer?

you're up awful early.

look what the kids did to my fence.

come on, you kook.

we're really a little anxious that you're rushing into something serious here.

we've never had that kind of trouble.

that's not what you told me over the phone.

i don't think you appreciate the reaction people have to these things.

let me see your fingers. they're beginning to prune.

just ten more minutes.

[name], you are uptight.

everybody out!

i can't argue with you. i can't talk to you.

this is turning into a contest.

let's have some order.

i don't think that's funny at all.

it ain't gonna be easy.

i value my neck a lot more than $3,000.

oh, god, you scared me.

you're not going to be able to go to sleep tonight.

want to get drunk and fool around?

get out of the boat.

i don't want that to happen, you know that.

let's stop before someone reports us.

take my word for it.

give me your hand.

can we go home now?

hello, back, young feller. how are you?

say, i hope you're not going out with those nuts, are you?

watch it. that's dynamite.

you ain't going.

can you tell me if there's a good restaurant or hotel here?

they're all gonna die.

you've got to get somebody to help us.

these are your people. go talk to them.

the best thing for me to do is to see the remains of the first victim.

just bear with me, will you?

they'll wish their fathers had never met their mothers.

get away from there, you goddamn fool!

this was no boating accident.

do not smoke in here. thank you very much.

call [name] and tell him he owes me a favor.

guys, could we please get organized? i want to get a picture.

we can start breathing again.

you stuff your friggin' head in there, man.

there are all kinds of sharks in the waters. hammerheads, white tips, blues, makos…

come here. give us a kiss.

the door was open.

can i get you some coffee?

i've never heard it quite put that way.

i love sharks.

i heard it on the news.

you'll be the only rational man left after i leave tomorrow.

i guess it's a childhood thing. there's a clinical name for it, isn't there?

it's just a theory that i happen to agree with.

then why don't we have one more drink?

i can do anything. i'm the chief of police.

you got a bigger problem than that.

i'm not drunk enough to go on a boat.

there's so many problems, you never feel like you're accomplishing anything. violence, rip-offs, muggings.

in twenty-five years, there's never been a shooting or a murder in this town.

want a pretzel?

can you get the late show on this thing?

who pays for all this stuff?

it doesn't make sense for a guy who hates the water to live on an island.

it's only an island if you look at it from the water.

don't worry, [name]. nothing's gonna happen.

what am i supposed to do while you're gone?

don't touch any of the equipment. i'll be back in two minutes.

i had an accident.

i know that you are going to ignore this problem until it swims up and bites you on the ass!

i want those little bastards caught and hung up by their buster browns.

i won't waste my time arguing with a man who's lining up to be a hot lunch.

it's really a miracle of evolution.

you'd love to prove that. get your name into the national geographic.

this will be the best summer we've ever had.

i don't like you no more.

thought i saw a shadow.

"amity" means "friendship."

i can't do a damn thing

doesn't anybody have a gun?

how's my big kid?

you can watch television.

want anything from home? what about ice cream?

that's why you're gonna do the right thing.

you try this. made it myself.

here's to swimming with bow-legged women.

can't get a good man these days under sixty.

i'm not talking about pleasure boating or day-sailing. i'm talking about working for a living.

just tie me a sheepshank.

you got city hands. you been counting money all your life.

i don't need this. i don't need this working class hero crap.

maybe i should go alone.

you're on board my vessel. i'm mate, master, pilot, and i'm captain.

what are you, some kind of half-assed astronaut?

jesus h. christ!

did you take your dramamine?

better get it right, squirt… or i throw your ass out the window.

this ain't no boy scout picnic.

what the hell kind of a knot was that?

nothing's easy, is it?

get behind me.

duck your head down.

i don't want you to drown me!

[name], you idiot!

if you don't want to backstroke home, you get down here.

you don't want to listen to me, don't listen to me.

don't you tell me my business again.

that doesn't prove a damn thing.

it proves that you wealthy college boys don't have the education enough to admit when you're wrong.

aye, aye, sir.

i don't have to take this abuse much longer.

your head's bleeding.

stop playing with youself.

you're gonna need a bigger boat.

foreground, my ass!

come here, come here, darlin'.

i've never steered a boat in my life.

don't screw up now.

don't wait for me.

you want to see something permanent? you want to feel something permanent? just put your hand underneath my cap. you feel that little lump?

i got that beat.

i got the creme de la creme. right here. hold on. here, you see that?

a tattoo. i got that removed.

you know, a thing about a shark, he's got… lifeless eyes. black eyes, like a doll's eyes. when he comes at you, he doesn't seem to be living… until he bites you.

that was the time i was most frightened.

[starts singing "show me the way to go home"]

i've seen fingers torn out at the knuckles.

whole sea's bones, full of them.

i'm gonna make a phone call.

that's great! that's just great! now, where the hell are we?! you're certifiable, [name]! you know that?! you're certifiable!

>> re: tragic love story

heathcliff & catherine

you’re intense, stormy, and more than a little bit dramatic. love, to you, isn’t soft or simple. it’s feral, consuming, an obsession that takes root in your bones and refuses to let go. you don’t do casual. you don’t do temporary. when you love someone, they become a part of you, for better or worse, and separation feels like losing a limb. people might call you possessive or too much, but for you, love is about recognition. love is about finding someone whose wildness mirrors your own. you thrive in chaos and passion, in emotions so raw they’re almost destructive. you’re not afraid of the dark sides of love, because you know that even in ruin, it’s real.
