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 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.
