Are my followers all here?

Yes?

Wonderful…

To those who do not know me, I am The Riddler. Gotham’s one and only. They do also call me E. Nygma. And Edward if you know me, I guess

Riddle Me This - asks

You Solved My Puzzle - end of reblog chains

Solving Puzzles - original posts

From Four To Two - interactions with his kid

more to be added as required

I have very few headcanons hashed out right now, so this list will be updated

AroAce spectrum, but willing to date anyone if he gets to know them (or if he becomes infatuated)

He is a mash of many different versions, but I likely will be taking a lot of inspiration from the Arkham games due to me fixating on those.

Is he trans? Possibly. Is he not? Possibly. He just has an insane amount of gender fuckery

He believes he is incapable of good. Whenever he does anything good, he plays it off saying it was selfish.

I am partial to certain ships, but you can talk to me if you want to explore some others

Riddler x Batman (this one is my overall favourite at the moment)

Riddler x Scarecrow

Riddler x Penguin

Why are you so smart 🤔

Is it because like you're old and like oldness makes people smart 😮

No. I have been this way since I was a child. And I would appreciate it if you didn’t assume me to be old. I’m not actually that old.

[quite-the-e-nygma]

I do find solitary confinement to be okay, so long as the guards aren’t completely depriving me of basic human needs.

[quite-the-e-nygma]

// I fear I should note that I do not do multiversal things. My Riddler will never be aware of it, nor will I be dealing with the multiverse in any capacity. All interactions will be dealt with as though they remain in their own separate universes

// Unless there are any lore things that I think would be necessary for that time, I guess

HELLO MR. RIDDLER SIR!! HAPPY TO ASSIST YOU SIR!! :D

Oh, great. Another one.

[miss-tuesday]

If you fucking diss my boy squid I will throw hands

[quite-the-e-nygma]

And consequently, you will no longer work for me. I do not know who this boy is.

[miss-tuesday]

It’s squid, he’s my pookie. Do you not even know who’s on your payroll? Lmao.

[quite-the-e-nygma]

I do know who is on my payroll. Which is why I am surprised to see someone new. Someone I didn’t hire.

[miss-tuesday]

If you’re implying that I hired him, I didn’t. He just appears.

[quite-the-e-nygma]

Well, someone had to hire him. And I know it wasn’t me.

[miss-tuesday]

I had nothing to do with it. Pinky promise

[quite-the-e-nygma]

I don’t believe you.

Someone moved my stuff. This isn’t allowed.

[totally-not-tim-drake]

Totally Wasn’t Me

[quite-the-e-nygma]

I would hope you didn’t break into Arkham to simply move my things.

[totally-not-tim-drake]

Mhm, exactly. Who would do such a thing.

[quite-the-e-nygma]

If you moved my stuff, I will not hesitate to stop building elaborate puzzles for you to solve. I imagine you do actually enjoy trying those.

[totally-not-tim-drake]

…You can’t prove anything, and thus can’t stop building puzzles

[quite-the-e-nygma]

Is that not proof enough? You, by attempting to continue to feint innocence, have proved your guilt.

[totally-not-tim-drake]

But how would I get into Arkham? Clearly it must have been one of the guards or your fellow inmates. And even if I could get into Arkham, wouldn’t Batman know and tell me to stop? And would I be there for a bigger mission than moving your things around on your table? The absurdity!

[quite-the-e-nygma]

You have yet to give me a valid reason to believe it to be anyone else.

[quite-the-e-nygma]

Someone moved my stuff. This isn’t allowed.

[miss-tuesday]

You organize stuff wrong

[quite-the-e-nygma]

They are my things. You cannot simply move my things. The way they are organised makes complete sense to me.

[miss-tuesday]

It’s all so cluttered and it stresses me out dawg

[quite-the-e-nygma]

I have it organised to my liking. The things on my desk are for me and me alone to touch.

[quite-the-e-nygma]

It’s hard to make plans while Jonathan is trying to make me volunteer for his new batch of fear toxin

[thearkhamknightsblog]

Jonathan's helping us take over the city, won't you help us bring down the bat?

[quite-the-e-nygma]

I would rather work without being Jonathan’s test subject. On top of that, I have plans for the bat.

[thearkhamknightsblog]

Bring us subjects and you wont be subjected.

[quite-the-e-nygma]

Are you that unable to get them yourself? I do have my own plans.

[thearkhamknightsblog]

Nygma, Always so unwilling to cooperate for the bigger cause.

[quite-the-e-nygma]

More like I have my own plans, and know well enough yours will fail. At least my plan consists of a test of intellect.

[thearkhamknightsblog]

Calling me stupid is it interesting way to get me to test whether your skull will stop led, Edward.

[quite-the-e-nygma]

It is Nygma to you, if you wish to call me anything but Riddler. A plentiful of other names do work, but never Edward. We are not that close.

And I was simply suggesting your plans will fail. Killing Bats always does. I am simply trying to see how long it takes for him to break.

[thearkhamknightsblog]

Killing him will succeed, I just want to watch the city burn in his eyes while I do it.

[quite-the-e-nygma]

Given the past track record of everyone who has gone against him, I do doubt you will succeed.

[thearkhamknightsblog]

Neither have you but you keep trying.

[quite-the-e-nygma]

Yes, though it is mostly me trying to outsmart him now. His death would be something, sure, but I cannot imagine I would hold up well without him. Who else would be there to challenge my wit?

As much as it pains me to say, Gotham needs Batman. We do not wish for Superman to be a replacement. Of any hero that exists, Batman is the most lenient.
