HAI 💙 I ADORE your writing, you are my go to for reading headcanons and fics!
I was hoping you could do a headcanon with Two face, Ridder or Scarecrow (I don’t mind which one, or all if you want to) where the Reader wants to test some of their lipstick on them to see if it’s kiss proof and how said rogues would respond. And if yes, how would it go!
Kind of like that one Archie pin up comic, if you know what I’m talking about 💙💙💙💙
Unfortunately I don't know the comic, but I think I get what you mean! I'm a little rusty, so I hope I do it all justice, especially after your kind words and how cute this idea is! 🥹 Honestly I'd be up to do this for other Rogues too!! Also, happy new year!
PAINTED KISSES — VARIOUS ROGUES HEADCANONS
TWO FACE
Harvey and Harv would ADORE their partner sitting on their lap, talking about the new shades they'd gotten, hands on your thighs or waist as they listen.
Harvey would love to hear you talk about all the new shades you'd bought, letting you interrupt your own ramblings so you can test it with a few pecks to his cheek or lips, so he can return the favour to pressing a kiss to your knuckles. He'd sit there grinning, in his gentlemanly awe. In truth, he likes the lipstick you wear that leaves the imprint of your lips on his skin, or the notes you leave him. But, seeing you happy makes him happy. He thinks every shade suits you. And he tells you after every peck.
“That shade is so pretty on you, it works really well with your eyes. And it hasn't smudge even a little, either, Darling.”
Harv is the one making the comments on what shades suit you best; he prefers the more sophisticated colours, the darker shades of red and brown, plum, even black — but his favourite is the bold cherry coloured one. He's the one pressing kisses to your lips and pulling away with a grin, asking if any smudged onto him, knowing damn well that it hasn't. He's eager to talk about what shades would work best with what outfits, talking about when the next big event comes up, how you get to show it off.
“I like that one Doll, the red looks dangerous. Suits you. It'd look even better with what you got yourself for that gala.”
RIDDLER
At first, Edward would be annoyed. He has far too many more pressing matters to attend to — when you describe it as smudge proof and in desperate need to make sure that the company hadn't lied, he dismisses it by telling you to try it on a paper towel. He's a little lost in his own world to pick up on what you mean.
However, a quick smush of your lips against his is enough to snap him out of his scheming. He'd realise your motive when he'd see you beaming up at him all smug once you'd pull away. Of course, now that he understands what you wanted, who is he to deny you of testing your precious product?
Edward has always preened under your affections, grinning from ear to ear so those dimples would be on full display, offering his face to you like a canvas on an easel. He doesn't usually enjoy close proximity, unless it's praise from you. And what's being your choice to be a affectionate-recieving-test-subject, if not praise? Though, he does remember not only to focus on the warm fuzzy feeling in his chest, he remembers to make sure you feel just as pretty as you look. And ask questions about the lipstick.
“Whereas that colour does flatter you Dear, I think you would look even more ravishing in green. Perhaps you could buy those shades tomorrow and we can test them as well?”
SCARECROW
Jonathan isn't always an affectionate person. And it isn't just because of the spooky potato sack he wears at night — he was taught that affection is freely given to people who deserve it, and he's still learning that you find him worthy of yours. So, he knows when you sit there, applying different shades of lipstick, that this is your way of making him more comfortable with such open displays of love. And he loves it.
He would sit there, on his old canvas sofa-chair, with a lopsided smile on those tired features, watching as you ramble on about all the different bonuses of wearing kiss-proof lipstick, how not only does it stay more vibrant for longer, but how the new formula uses less oils. That you just wanted to test the effectiveness. As well as the shades. He doesn't want you to know that he knows that you're just using this as an excuse, that you've used this brand before.
Instead, he'll sit there, murmuring soft comments as your kisses slowly inch from his cheeks to the corners of his chapped lips. And, if he's feeling particularly enamoured, he might encourage the next kiss to be one on the lips.
“I think yer might've missed a spot there, Pumpkin.”
You did a yandere riddler romantic one, but could you do a platonic one? If it's not asking much. I love your writing!
Thank you so much bb <33 here you go
This is with a child reader in mind
Platonic Yandere Edward Nygma / The Riddler Headcanons
Edward is very fond of you, he loves that he can make you laugh so easily. You laugh so hard that you stomach hurts afterwards, and he’s always proud of himself.
He loves doing magic tricks for you, especially card tricks, you always look so impressed with such simple tricks.
He even learned how to make certain shakes with his hand so he can preform shadow puppets for you before bedtime, he loves it when you giggle.
He’s the kind of guy to feed you chicken nuggets for every meal, the protein is always chicken nuggets. He has fruits and veggie for you, but the meal never lacks your favourite dinosaur shaped chicken.
He steals toys for you, things that he thinks you’ll like. He especially get you crayons, he loves it when you draw on his walls. He never waxshes any of them away, you’re so creative and he loves you so much.
Batman is so confused when the only things the Riddler has been robbing for a while is toy stores and not banks like usual.
Edward love watching movies with you, you’ll crowd all over him while you watch your favourite movie. He doesn’t mind, he thinks it’s cute.
He breaks into the Gotham Zoo at night to show you all the cool animals that are there, he call it a ‘private tour.’
He definitely has a mini outfit made for you to match his. You look so cute in green and purple. He dies when you put on a little top hat that matches his.
Overall, he loves you, he loves making you laugh and smile. He goes out of his way to make you smile too, even if it greatly inconveniences him.
Doggystyle. Edward craves control, and this expands heavily into the bedroom. He needs to be 100% in control at all times. Any position where he’s in control is his favorite, particularly when it comes to taking his partner from behind. He likes how dominating it feels to control the pacing and thrusts, that he can grab his partner’s hips or ass or hair and force their face into the bed/nearby surface.
Really, any position where he can maintain eye contact, control the way he fucks his partner and keep them submissive, is what he gravitates towards.
Least Favorite Position:
Edward isn’t a huge fan of missionary. He finds it to be too intimate and too close. His chest pressed against his partner’s, with barely any space in between, makes him feel too vulnerable and like every part of him can be seen, and he hates that.
Edward may only engage in missionary with a partner who he feels deeply for, or when he’s trying to use the position to maintain more control over his partner. Essentially, anything where he’s physically close enough to touch noses is uncomfortable for him.
Oral – Giving or Receiving or Both:
Edward loves to both give and receive oral. He definitely enjoys burying his face in his partner’s cunt; he loves the taste, the smell, and the way he can bring his partner to tears through overstimulation with just the use of his tongue. He already has a Silver Tongue, and putting it to another use is a huge turn on for him.
Likewise, he enjoys receiving it as much as the next man. Having his partner’s lips wrapped around his length, pleasuring him while he looks down from above, is sure enough to make him mentally unravel.
Anal:
Edward is into it. He doesn’t mind getting in there and using his mouth, either. He quite enjoys the way his partner submits to him and allows him to have complete control and trust. He see’s it as a sign of his partner’s true submission.
Turn-Ons:
Anything where he’s in control is a turn on. His partner being actively submissive is enough to immediately make his cock hard. He won’t admit it out loud, but he’s also particualry a fan of a bratty partner – someone who will push his buttons and toe the line of his patience. Having a partner who flares him up is a turn on.
Of course, he also depends greatly on praise and ego-stroking. Mentioning how genius and amazing he is, how handsome and skilled – it’s all a recipe to get him going.
Intelligence is a must. Edward doesn’t have time for a partner he deems to be “stupid”. Which, unfortunately, is how he considers most people. However, if he were to find a partner who he found some value in, he’d be interested.
Someone who has the same interests as him, such as a knack for computers or anything mechanical, will catch his attention. It’s much easier for him to engage in conversation with someone who actually knows what he’s talking about rather than give him a deer in the headlights look.
A partner who knows what they want. Edward doesn’t have time for someone who’s indecisive or uncertain. He appreciates someone who takes charge, makes decision, and sticks to them.
Cleverness is also a big turn on. Someone who can match his wit, or engage in a verbal sparring match with him will catch his interest. He needs someone who can keep him on his toes and challenge him, not bore him.
Turn-Offs:
Humiliation is a huge no-no when it’s directed at him. While he doesn’t mind humiliating his partner, if it’s turned back on him in any way, he won’t be happy. He also hates feeling out of control, unless it’s calculated and a planned part of the intimate game, so to speak.
Disrespect and disloyalty. He doesn’t appreciate a partner who’s going to disrespect him, and any blow to his ego is going to make him crumble into pieces, even if he won’t show it. He also doesn’t have time for someone who doesn’t want to make time for him. If someone decides someone, or something else, is more important, he’s quick to lose patience and interest.
Stupidity. If a partner is too dimwitted or has what he deems is a low IQ, he’s going to quickly be turned off. Especially if this person has no willingness to learn, he’s not going to waste his time.
Anyone who’s overly pompous. Edward is allowed to have an ego, but if his partner acts too high and mighty with their nose up in the air, he’s going to be disgusted.
Kinks:
Praise Kink – he depends on his partner singing his praises. If his partner tells him how wonderful he is, especially while in the middle of the deed, he won’t be able to control himself.
Breeding Kink – while Edward has no interest in being a dad, he can’t help but feel like Gotham and the rest of the humanity would benefit from him passing on his outstanding genetics. He gets off on the idea of breeding his partner and having offspring.
Cane Play – Edward definitely enjoys using his cane in the bedroom. He likes to use the question-mark end for spanking, or the staff end to tilt his partner’s chin up or run it down his partner’s body.
Light Bondage/Spanking/Control - He’s into light bondage and spanking, including the use of cuffs or restraints, or using collars on his partner. He’ll never allow it on himself, but with his partner, he enjoys the control and seeing them vulnerable.
Speech Control – “Yes, sir. No, sir.” Edward greatly values respect, and having a partner who address him as such – or even as “Mr. Nigma, sir” is sure enough to turn him on and drive him wild.
Objectification – Treating his partner like a toy. Really, anything that allows him control is a big kink.
Experience Level:
Eddie doesn’t have too much physical experience. He’s quite picky and selective when choosing a partner, so his experience level is little to none. But you can be damn sure that this man has read every book, article, sex guide, and manual available to ensure he’s properly prepared to give and receive pleasure. His need for control masks his inexperience, but he’s a quick learner, and it doesn’t take him long to figure out what he’s doing.
His photographic memory also makes it easy for him to remember porn and techniques he’s seen that he can then utilize in the act. Once he gets started, he’s going to dedicate himself to being Edward Nigma, the Greatest Lover You’ve Ever Had.
Pace Preference:
Maintaining control, above all things, is his first priority. Edward greatly prefers to take things at his own pace. He loves to drag things out, to enjoy the game of back and forth with his partner. But when he loses himself in the moment, he’s prone to becoming intense, possessive, and dominating.
Anything too slow makes him uncomfortable. If the sex is too slow, almost on the verge of making love, than he feels too vulnerable, as if you’re looking at every part of him. He needs to maintain a moderate to rough pace to keep himself from feeling like he’s tipping over the edge into something more.
Aftercare:
Since Eddie resents vulnerability, his aftercare is very minimal. He’s quick to return to whatever he was doing and put on the mask of control, snark, and cockiness. He refuses anything from his partner – like water or a tissue to clean up and will get what he needs himself.
However, he is quick to get his partner a towel or some water if the session was particularly intense. He won’t show vulnerability during this time, but uses this a way to ensure his partner is still taken care of and depends on him.
Dirty Talk:
This man loves dirty talk. He playfully disguises it behind clever word play, superiority, riddles, and double meanings. He gets off on making his partner squirm. This man is not above talking filth, and enjoys watching his partner flush from his words. He’s quite a fan of degrading his partner, and anything that makes him feel like he’s “winning” is a plus.
Public vs Private:
While the thrill of getting caught is tempting, Edward would despise actually being caught in such a vulnerable position with his pants down. He also would refuse to allow his partner to be seen that way, either. Secret trysts where they could almost be caught still gives him the edge he wants without the actual danger.
Doing the deed behind closed doors where someone might hear you is a huge turn on. The knowledge that someone might walk in at any moment or one of his goons might hear it will thrill him.
Control Preference:
Control is a 100% a must. He only allows his partner to take perceived control. When he does, it’s a calculated move, and he never truly gives up total control. He refuses to budge an inch and show any ounce of vulnerability.
Clothing Preference:
Edward is quite insecure about his body. The act of fully undressing feels far too intimate for his liking. He’s usually willing to unbutton his shirt or shrug off a jacket, and usually just slips his cock out of his pants instead of taking them off fully.
He truly has to like his partner and trust them to feel vulnerable enough to undress fully, but that trust needs to be well-earned.
As for his partner, Edward doesn’t care what they wear or how they dress on a day-to-day basis. He doesn’t have time to notice such things – however, he is a bit of a fan of seeing his partner dress up for him. Whether it to be a nice dress or suit and tie, he’s going to notice if something is different.
However, he is desperate to see his partner in green. If you go out of your way to wear something green for him – green clothes, green lingerie, etc – he won’t be able to take his eyes off of you.
During the deed, he prefers his partner to be fully naked, or at least partially unclothed. He gets off on the power dynamic of being mostly dressed while his partner isn’t.
How to Fluster Them:
Genuine praise from his partner that isn’t part of the game is sure to fluster Edward. Anything that catches him off guard emotionally, such as a tender moment from his partner, can make Edward lose focus on the task at hand. Especially if his partner manages to surprise or outwit him.
Edward relies so heavily on control, and is so traumatized from years of abuse, that anything from his partner that feels real is sure enough to make him squirm. A random compliment that isn’t part of the game or is thrown his way will catch him off guard.
Actually engaging with him. Edward might not admit it out loud, but he’s used to people ignoring him because he talks so much. If you actually keep your attention on him and what he says, and engaged in conversation with him, he’s going to notice.
Favorite Time of the Day:
Late at night. Edward prefers the quiet solitude that night time brings. He loves the quiet sounds of the city, and how it feels he can be with his partner uninterrupted. Having a moment where he no longer has to put on a show and can somewhat relax is something he craves.
Favorite Place to Have Sex:
Edward isn’t particularly picky about the location – though he does quite enjoy bending his partner over his work bench or hoisting them on top of it. He likes the control of having his partner in his space.
Edward is hesitant to invite a partner into his bedroom. He’ll only do so if he truly cares about his partner and is willing to show that level of vulnerability with them.
Secret Soft Spot:
His scalp. Preferably if his partner has long nails and can scratch and massage through his hair. It’s enough to make him melt, even if he won’t show it.
Favorite Place to Be Touched:
His hands, wrists, and forearms. He works so much with his hands, and having them be touched and massaged is a huge relaxation for him.
Least Favorite Place to Be Touched:
Definitely his neck. He has far too much trauma from being choked out by Batman to ever let a partner touch or kiss him there. If he did eventually, it’d be a huge level of trust and commitment to his partner to let his guard down like that.
Jealousy/Possessive Level:
Extremely possessive, and easily jealous. Anyone who so much looks in his partner’s direction or shows them an ounce of affection, and he’s already plotting their demise in his head. He hates competition, and the thought of losing what he considers “his” is quick to make him angry and territorial.
Edward is a master planner, and he’ll be quick to rid himself of any competition. Whether it be murder, blackmail, or a bribe – he’s sure to eliminate anyone who gets in his way.
Favorite Compliments During Sex:
Anything that praises his ego – especially his intellect – but he’s not picky about his physical appearance being complimented, too. Really, this man’s praise kink and desperate need for attention is through the roof. He’s sure to soak up any compliment at all.
Stamina:
High. This man might not be the most physically capable, but he has spent years doing manual labor by working with machines and engineering traps. He can last quite long ad push himself far, but he’s not usually going to go multiple rounds without some time in between. If he does manage to get it up quickly soon after the first round, it’s usually do to him being very turned on or feeling the need to continue punishing (or rewarding) his partner. If it’s just a quickie, don’t count on him to get it up again so soon after, especially if he’s distracted or feels like he has too much work to do.
Marking Preference:
Edward absolutely loves marking his partner. Bruises, hickeys, a collar or jewelry with a hidden meaning – he wants the world to know who his partner belongs to, and he isn’t afraid to show it. Bites and scratches are a plus, too.
Edward desperately needs the world to know who you belong to. He’ll parade you around in all green, especially an outfit with his question mark motif on it, just for people to know he has a claim over you.
Tits, Ass, or Both:
Edward enjoys both, but he prefers the grip and hold a nice ass gives him. He’s particualry fond of spanking. Of course, he loves burying his face in a nice pair of tits and sucking and squeezing them to his content.
Length:
About 6 inches flaccid, 7 when erect. Bigger than people expect.
Circumcised, slightly angled upwards and a little to the left. Several noticeable veins running through the shaft.
Mess Preference:
This man is not above making a mess. Blood, Sweat, Saliva, Cum – it doesn’t bother him. In fact, he gets off on seeing how ruined his partner is. Seeing his partner lying there, sweaty or their eyes glassy as cum pools out of them – it’s definitely a sight he won’t forget anytime soon.
In fact, if his partner doesn’t look ruined afterwards, he’s going to consider that a failure. He needs you to look like you’ve just been thoroughly fucked or he won’t feel accomplished in the act.
Grooming Preference:
When he’s in a better mental state, he prefers to keep himself neat and tidy. But when Edward’s not in a good mental state, he lets himself go, since personal hygiene and grooming go out the window.
It’s not uncommon for Edward to be wearing dirty, oil-stained clothes and to have greasy hair or dirty fingernails if he’s been working long hours.
He prefers his partner to keep themselves neat and tidy, but he’s not too picky. He doesn’t care much if his partner is in the same state as him or immaculately groomed, as long as it doesn’t get in the way of sex.
Love Language (In Bed):
Words of Affirmation. This man is starved for attention. Worshipping his mind and moaning his name like he’s the last man on Earth is going to completely unravel him.
Acts of Service is secondary. He won’t say it out loud, but knowing you’re taking the extra effort to take care of him – feed him, remind him to rest, keep his workspace neat and tidy – are all things he’ll appreciate more than he’ll ever say aloud.
Sexual Insecurities:
As much as he masks it with arrogance, Edward has incredibly low self-esteem. He’ll hide it behind tricky words of grandeur, but deep down, he’s terrified that he’s not enough – not strong enough, not handsome enough, too loud, too annoying, too controlling and too desperate for your attention. He’s afraid that if he slips up, let’s the real him through, that you’ll realize he’s a waste of space and that you’ll leave him.
This ties into his ability to please you in bed. He won’t show it, but deep down, he’s worried he’s not man enough to please you, and that you’ll be so unsatisfied that you’ll look for someone else instead. His lack of experience makes him feel not worthy enough for your attention and like he’s not going to prove himself in bed.
Post-Sex Behavior:
Edward switches between two modes: overly talkative or unusually quiet. If he’s engaged in a quickie, he’ll usually go right back to what he was doing and dismiss you without saying much. If the sex was intense, he spends much of his time afterwards analyzing what the sex meant and what it means to him, and to you. He’ll fall quiet while he’s overanalyzing, but try to mask his concern by being talkative and putting back on his mask of arrogance. Edward hates to show vulnerability during sex, and unless he truly cares about his partner, he won’t cuddle with them. Cuddling is too intimate – and his partner truly needs to be special to show that side of himself.
Edward definitely pretends not to let the intimacy bother him, but deep down, it does. He refuses to show any ounce of vulnerability and tenderness if he can help it. Sex is not something he takes lightly. The very act of choosing a partner, being intimate, and allowing himself to be one with someone is not something he decides to do without much thought taken when it comes to the risks and rewards.
Edward is not the type of man to find a partner for a one-night stand. If he chooses someone, he expects them to be a long-term partner – and the closer he gets, the more terrified he is, and he’ll withdraw deep into his mind if things get too serious.
Could you write some fluffy headcanons about Edward Nashton when he was still in the orphanage? I just want little choir boy Eddie to get some affection
❝young!edward nashton headcanons❞
pairing: edward nashton x gn!reader.
cw: none!
words: 1.2k.
a/n: ngl, this one is a little difficult because almost all of edward's life in the orphanage was awful asfkaskfj but I'll try! this is more edward centric than x reader bc I wasn't sure if that's what you wanted. these headcanons jump around from childhood to when eddie is a teenager.
I like to think edward always had really severe bedhead which he would not take care of at all
the exception being if it was for mass, but this used to get him in trouble with the wardens a lot
until one year he just buzzed it all off bc he was sick of getting yelled at about it all the time.... except all the wardens were DEVASTATED
"your hair fit you so well :(((" "why would you do that? it looked really nice when you combed it"
the wardens were rarely ever nice to him so he was very taken aback by this
so he eventually let it grow out again and started. kinda taking pride in his hair?
there wasn't a lot he could do with what little the orphanage had to go around, but sometimes with the money he'd get from his delivery job, he'd buy some nice hair gel and do his hair really neat before leaving for the day. eventually he would get compliments about how nice and soft it was and sometimes pretty people at school would ask to touch it which used to send his little heart into OVERDRIVE
tried growing it down to his shoulders ONE time but he eventually had to invest in hair ties and that was just way too much work
I can't remember if his hobbies are ever mentioned in the before the batman novel but since paul dano is a movie buff in real life, I think it would be cute if eddie was too
when he would get some money, he'd cut class to go to matinee showings and have the time of his life
it was nice bc it was somewhere he could be alone for a few hours and he could always afford a little escapism
the nights where his mind was still fresh with a movie he'd seen earlier in the day were some of the easier ones
sometimes he'd lay up in bed replaying them over and over in his head until he conked out for the night
and sometimes, when the really young kids couldn't fall asleep at night, he'd recite the plot of the movies he saw as bedtime stories
the older kids are awful to him but the younger kids? they love his bedtime stories
(he also might've gotten reported to the wardens about cutting class to see movies but his grades are so good that if they call about him skipping out on a class every now and then, some of the teachers will just straight up lie for him)
(and I mean, he gets really good grades. as long as he passes his classes and isn't getting into anything bad, they couldn't care less)
ironically, his time as a choir boy made him want to join a rock band as a kid
edward probably had a cheap little cd player he kept close to his heart and a secret stash of cds hidden in one of the ceiling tiles in the boys' bathroom that he'd pull out when he was alone and just lose himself in the music
I also like to think he's a fan of math rock and midwest emo because why wouldn't he be
once he got too old to be a choir boy, he started taking lessons from the organist just so he could do something with his hands
but you know what he'd really love to play if he could? the bass
if he'd had the money (and the assurance no one would destroy it), he would've loved to get a bass and just shred on it all hours of the night
(I'd like to think older eddie puts some of that accountant money toward one and it's one of his prized possessions. he may not be the best at it, but he can play his favorite songs and that's much better than nearer my god to thee)
(he definitely sings under his breath too while he plays, partly because his neighbors would complain if he sang any louder and partly because he hasn't really gotten used to losing that choir boy voice)
(this is definitely inspired by the fact that paul is in a band btw)
very eloquent writer!! he used to write poems and songs as a kid that he'd run by his english teacher after class to get advice on
he's written a few secret admirer love letters to crushes over the years with that skill. he never had the guts to reveal he was the one behind them, but he preferred the reveals in his head where they at least could never go wrong
truth was, he'd slip in some riddles from time to time and it almost surely gave him away, but none of his crushes ever outed him on it and that was a small victory
used to take naps in church when he could get away with it but his snore would always give him away
(can you imagine that being why no one liked him. no edward, the orphanage kids didn't hate you because you liked riddles, they hated you because you snore too loud)
near insatiable sweet tooth which he carries into adulthood
teachers would sneak him bags of candy on his birthday that he'd guard with his LIFE so the other kids wouldn't steal any
the wardens would also have to save money on birthday cakes so sometimes all the kids born in a month would all share one cake, but sometimes one of the wardens would save him an extra slice without the other kids knowing if he helped her with her crossword puzzles or filing her taxes
if this takes place in the first snow universe, I'd also like to think that tween-age eddie would sneak out at night to come see you at your place
you'd wait for the tell-tale sign he was there—a small pebble at your window, followed by two more just to be clear, and then you'd rush downstairs to let him slip in through the backdoor
you'd share the leftovers from dinner in your room, laughing under the sheets as you shoot "would you rather"s at each other for as long as you have breath in your giggling little lungs
(you'd almost been caught a few times, and as eddie got older and as he eventually started climbing through your window when his legs got long enough, the rush of hiding under your bed while your father asked what all the noise was about would get him a little lightheaded)
sometimes you two would even lay in bed with the bedroom door locked (when you were old enough to get away with doing that), sharing your fears and worries and ambitions for the future
and you'd always fall asleep first
and he would just lay there, content, facing you, watching your smushed face in the pillow and your hand still half gripping at his wrist over something funny he'd said ten minutes earlier
he'd always tuck you back in tight and sneak out the back door bc he didn't want to leave the window open in the winter, and he surely didn't want to wake you to close it
your mother sometimes saw, but she never said a thing about it to you, and you and edward were both too confidently stupid and young to think you'd been caught
and if you noticed that she always made just a little too much extra at dinner these days... well, nothing really needed to be said about that
Despite being incredible with puzzles, Ed is absolute ass at Wordle.
Ed’s eyesight is VERY poor. Like, he's practically blind without his glasses.
He’s very much into poetry!
It’s relatively obvious, but it’s worth noting that Eddie has a superiority complex. He’s been told his whole life that he’s nothing and, to be honest, he believes this. However, he puts on a mask of arrogance in hopes of making himself feel better.
Ed has a genuine fear of Arkham. This is a direct result of the severe mistreatment he faced there and the mental torture he went through.
Ed's family (primarily his father) was/is rather homophobic. As a result, Ed takes anything regarding his identity very seriously.
For more formal events, Ed tends to switch out his glasses for contacts. He feels that he appears more professional this way.
Ed doesn't have many regrets when it comes to his criminality, but he does regret what happened to Ms. Kringle. He fears that he'll hurt everyone he loves like that.
may I request the different riddlers with a s/o who's a video game developer?
Also unesscary fun fact that I thought was cute and wanted to share:
A group of bunnies is scientifically called a fluffle
no, i think that fact was very necessary, thank you science side of tumblr
also im assuming you want some headcanons :) p.s. you didnt specify which riddlers you wanted so i just chose four <3 i hope thats okay!
note: feel free to reblog! just please give credit where credit is due :)
Riddlers w/ a GameDeveloper!S/O
BTAS!Riddler:
youre a game dev?! he is too!
....or rather he was.
ideally hes the best riddler to be with if youre a game developer. equal parts knowledgeable, helpful and caring
at first, he may see you as perhaps a rival, but if youre together, hes all for helping you out with whatever you need!
he unfortunately never got to see his own game "the riddle of the minotaur" come to fruition, so he may want to be more involved than what you would like
that game belongs to the both of you now, sorry
he adores that you have the same passions as him. but unlike his own past, he will see to it that NOTHING stops you from developing your game
just say the word and he will have your game downloaded onto every computer in all of gotham, the big simp 💕
Arkham!Riddler:
what would you like to know?
this man was the head of the GCPD's cyber crime unit, im sure he would be able to answer ANY question you could possibly have
these days he comes off as a guy who couldnt be bothered to help you create a childish game... buy hey, he loves you and isnt that what he technically does all day anyways? you just have to add in the possibility of actually dying to his games
he ends up helping you in his free time ❤
how could he resist? his darling needs his help coding and coding is his second language!
he acts very "put out" with you at first. throwing in the occasional insult because thats just how he talks when hes trying to explain something to someone
he is proud though! never will you ever hear him say it but he truly is. maybe you and he could incorporate some of his malware for the good people of gotham...
Dano!Riddler:
helping you with your game is his second job now! even if hes not getting paid
its no secret that this riddler would be a giant simp, so anything you ask of him, he will deliver 😍
in between his job as a forensics accountant and also being the riddler, he will always find time to check in on your progress. do you need help? do you need him to check your code? do you want something to drink? okay! hell just be over your shoulder if you need anything 😊
he will patiently explain to you how to do something the best he can. computers are really just a second nature to him, so having to explain it isnt exactly a familiar thing to him. bear with him!
he will be the first one to play your game!
no matter how easy your game is to him, he sees it as his obligation to support you in any way he can. whether your game is for a phone, pc or whatever, hes keeping it on his device forever
he would give you lots of praise and he also makes sure you know how amazing he thinks you are
Capullo!Riddler:
this asshole may not care at first that youre working on a game... that is until he realizes you could join forces to bring gotham to its knees
sure! he loves you! but this eddie is a narcissist and a control freak (more than the other riddlers)
he is right there with you in developing your game
he insists that you make him your partner in all of this. he also insists that he create the basic premise of the challenges your game has.
your game is required to be intellectually challenging! its a must! no S/O of his will create something that caters to the simple-minded!
and maybe you could also let him install a few viruses and malware?
he doesnt mean to sabotage your game! hes just thinking of your common goals. why not create a game that also eradicates those who are unworthy to live in your city?
