I'm making Eddie ace in my little au! No-one can stop me!!

Happy ace week!

Aspec headcanons under the cut:

He's asexual, and sex-favourable but it fluctuates. He enjoys it for the game, the puzzle of seducing someone and making them feel the things he wants them to feel. It also gives him an ego boost, knowing that he's attractive, and he's wanted. However, he would much rather hold someone in his arms and ask them riddles, although barely anyone wants to do that with him

He's quoiromantic. He has quite low empathy, but if he starts caring about someone then he can get quite empathetic towards them. This combination of caring about someone, and needing to feel loved, makes it hard to distinguish attraction. He's arospec - it's less a feeling of attraction, and more wanting to keep the people who validate him, and feeling fond of them. He also feels a great admiration and want to be close with people who he considers his intellectual equal (ie: Batman. These feelings are definitely not mutual).

He's bi. He's willing to have sex with and date any gender, and he's bi when it comes to tertiary attractions. Strong sensual attraction is combined with him being touch-starved and desperate for physical affection, so if he trusts someone he can be very cuddly. He'll also be physically affectionate with people he knows has feelings for him. He had a squish (platonic crush) on Query and Echo when he first met them (and aesthetic attraction, they're really cool)

Dapper guy. He has a pet duck called Riddle. Waistcoat design is inspired by Arkham City because I was originally going to draw Arkham City Riddler. He has a fake tree because he saw foxfire mushrooms and thought they looked really cool, and it's fake to spite Ivy

Reference:

Not to be so oriented aroace on the art blog but my goodness we need more of Riddler in a three-piece suit (and waistcoat) he is so pretty!! Look at him he's so dapper and him just sitting like that 💚💜 he's objectively not huggable but he is to me

Started this last Tuesday while I was in a bit of an autism funk but I'm good now.

While watching Bake Off on Tuesday, was thinking "what if I drew Eddie snuggled under some gingham" so behold

(my mum said he should dream about cake when I explained it to her, so behold, Batman drowning in cake)
