The rogues have an opportunity to do the funniest thing ever and defeat Batman with a power of capitalism.

I don't know how, they'll come up with a scheme, I believe in those two, but Two Face and Penguin absolutely should trademark Batman as a brand just for the sake of pissing him off. I'm absolutely sure that there's a shit ton of bootleg batmerchandise in Gotham, they'll figure it out. But like, what would Batman even do? Sue them? Well, perhaps he should provide his legal name to the court first, otherwise for all I care he could go by Batmite in the meantime, Man-Bat is already taken.

I really wish we had more Two Face/Penguin team ups, because they definitely have all of the skills and resources to make Gotham a living hell without even committing any major crimes. Sue the fuck out of Gordon and accuse him of police brutality, guys, I know you can. Accuse Bruce Wayne of tax fraud, and you'll for sure find a financial hole that in actuality is a Batmobile. Call CPS on Bruce and send Robin #173 back into the orphanage

Just had a russian follow my blog. Dude, you have a post in russian, you follow russian tumblr team (which is crazy that it even exists in the first place) and a "russian requests only" art blog, but you like my post that directly references me living though one of the most traumatising days of my life thanks to your country and your people (the post has no other content attached). Why would you like that specific post.

Honestly, I thought putting a Ukrainian flag in my bio would be helpful enough to scare people like that away, but even directly writing "russians do not interact" doesn't help, apparently.

Yes, I am checking people's profiles sometimes just to make sure that they're from somewhere else, if I have any suspicions. I just don't want to get jumpscared by russian language in my feed. All of my social media are strictly in English/Ukrainian, yet some still somehow manage to slip through. I get that you just want to look at some fanart, but you're not welcome on my blog if you're russian, go look somewhere else if you can't respect my single and only rule on this blog. I don't know how else to signal to you to not touch me with a ten foot pole.

I know I'm posting a lot about this and the original plan was to keep this blog strictly an art related one. But I think it relates to my art quite a bit actually

You know what else survived a missile explosion?

This thing that my friend made for me.

Now he has a reason to look as flabbergasted as he does. She also did a matching one with the Riddler for my boyfriend. So Ed haven't become a widower yet, nor did my bf

By the way, I think most of my trinkets weren't really damaged, just flew across the room

[wes-mstr]

I think after surviving a huge ass explosion I could be considered a honorary gothamite now.

Btw, this was drawn from an actual photo of our car.

I want Dent as my lawyer.

Yesterday, on 2.07.2026, approximately at 2:20 AM a russian missile exploded right next to my flat.

I woke up with glass shards all around me and a door from another room that collided with mine, almost barricading me inside the room. Every window and door in the apartment was blown out by the explosion. My family's car burned to the crisp. The entrance door of the flat was stuck and people have spent 40 minutes trying to break it open with hammers and axes.

Despite great material damage, miraculously, me and my family wasn't injured. Even my laptop and drawing tablet have somehow survived, despite being left right by the window. And, thankfully, I have another place to go to, where I'll be living full-time from now on.

The only thing I want to tell you guys, remember that Russia is a terrorist state. That night dozens of people have died and even more got injured or lost their every possession. I was lucky to only suffer material losses. Attacks like this one have been happening since 2014 on the east side of Ukraine and for four years now all over the country and will continue. Our UNESCO protected landmarks are being destroyed and whole cities are being wiped out by missiles and drones.

Please, be mindful and avoid supporting russian organisations, and don't spread misinformation about the war. This is very important, because info war is just as much of a real part of the war as physical destruction is. If you have the means to, donate to Ukrainian volunteers. Support those who are dear to you.

But even after that life goes on. I still have to collect all of my paperwork for the graduation and applying for uni. People will be going back to work and meeting with friends.

Time for my fav pic to post. For someone’s great misfortune I’m alive.

If you think I won't come back with another fuckass drawing tomorrow, you're wrong, lol. My drawing tablet didn't survive a whole ass explosion for nothing

I've realised that I miss pre Arkham Ed. Like, yeah, there's already stuff going on and a few screws in the process of coming loose, but I miss his... Emotionality, maybe? I don't even know what it is specifically. And I do like post Arkham Ed as well, but he is undeniably different. He is kind of quieter and definitely is more harsh. Yeah, it's nice to see Ed properly standing up for himself, even when the reasons might not be right. But I actually felt my jaw drop once he started doing shit behind Oswald's back (early s3, the election) and making really important decisions all by himself, because Ed decided he knows best. That's when I realised that now it's a whole new man compared to Ed the forensics technician.

But s1 Oswald? Oh, I genuinely can hardly look at him. I don't dislike him as a character, I love him, but he's so uncomfortable to observe, both because of the appearance and erratic behaviour in equal measure. To be honest, I recognise only s4-5 (maybe s3 too to an extent) Penguin. He doesn't look as miserable there anymore and as much as I liked the disco vampire thing, I feel like brushed back hair looks more flattering on him. And he does look less gaunt later on. I feel like youth in general was never this fun, romanticised thing for Oswald, just a straight up rather painful transitional period. So I definitely prefer more mature version of the Penguin. It looks so much better on him.

But I could be wrong about Oswald and all that could be completely about my own insecurities. I do feel similar type of way looking back at my own past self.

And no hate to anyone, ship whatever makes you happy, I promise I love all of you, but to me personally gobblepot feels like dating a cishet dude as a transmasc. Like, he doesn't really see you in a way that matches your persecution of self, you're just a quirky partner to him, not like a man man. Even if he sometimes says all the right things, he's still exactly the same as he used to be, once you're not watching. And half of your dignity is missing the whole time you're together. Riddlebird is toxic because it's two genuinely insane people doing insane people shit to each other, but gobblepot, especially earlier seasons, is just punching down, I'm sorry. Jim is the straight man of this show

[wes-mstr]

I have such a love hate relationship with Batman as a Batman centered media fan. Like, dude, I don't give a shit about what Bruce and his thousand kids are doing, I'm here exclusively for the rogues gallery, lol. Even as a kid I've never really took much interest in the Bat himself or any other heroes for that matter.

But on the other hand, the rest of the heroes piss me off way more than Bruce does. I'd gladly take one (1) Batman any day over the whole ass JL or whatever. And like, he's just a part of the scenery at this point. Batman is annoying, but he's our annoying, you know. Alfred though gets my full respect, no complaints here.

Okay, Robins could be pretty funny sometimes. Like, what do you mean a middle schooler just made my favourite character see the pearly gates here for a second. This child should be sitting at home playing Minecraft and making slimes out of his dads shaving cream

[wes-mstr]

Bro really thinks he's a part of the team. (wip)

Bullying Bruce is my favourite pastime activity. It always cracks me up that in this picture Bane and Freeze genuinely look like they'd rather be anywhere else

[wes-mstr]

I just want to say that riddlebird being wlw doesn't change the fact that they're two manipulative pieces of shit.

Like, in my au I'm pretty sure Oswalda would shower Edith in extravagant gifts and drape her in expensive jewellery on purpose, to make Edith hesitant about voicing any disagreement, especially before she fully comes into her Riddler persona. And Edith would absolutely do Gotham series style love bombing to monopolise Oswalda's personal life and would butter her up for personal gain. They're definitely still toxic as hell and constantly weaponize each other's insecurities, with Oswalda claiming Edith's villainous career as her own achievement and Edith claiming to be the only living person to actually care about Oswalda and put up with her bullshit.

They're made for each other because both are equally horrible. If they'd ever get married, they'd eventually get fucking banned from every civil registry in Gotham for divorcing and remarrying each other ten times a year. And would do so very publicly every single time

[wes-mstr]

I did Oswalda redesign since I've finally figured out what I wanted to change.

I guess this could be considered an au now? Either way, the first thing that I wanted to change was her body type, because let's be honest with ourselves, the Penguin is not an hourglass lol. So I made her a little stockier. I also added a foot-ankle brace, because I personally like the concept of Penguin actually having an injury/disability which affects his gait.

And I've realised something thinking about Oswalda in caped crusader. She's a drag queen. Like, she could still be a cis woman performer (for example, Lucy Darling), but think about it. It fits so well. I like the idea of Oswalda being both capable of pulling off a femme fatal look and being a butch boss woman.

I don't know why, but I really wanted her to be voiced by a male vo. Oswalda just has a vibe of a female character being voiced by a guy, like Edna Mode. Again, nothing to do with gender, just vibes. Also, I just want to throw it in, she looks like fucking Ursula from little mermaid.

[wes-mstr]

Hey guys, so, I've defended my thesis two days ago, so I'm going to be finally free soon and will have time and energy to, thank god, draw more.

And while I'm finishing up my previous drawings, I decided to sketch some variations of the Riddler outfits for Edith. I don't know why, but I felt a sudden desire to add blue and I think it kind of works.

But I also enjoy imagining her switching between the skirt and pants as well as changing up colours (black shirt and tights instead, for example). And a third variant just for fun, lol

[wes-mstr]

Hola!,Your drawings are amazing! I once heard a great saying: "You don't need to be an expert to be a great artist." That saying definitely helped me keep going with drawing in general.

Gracias for answering my question, and have a wonderful day/night. I love your drawings!

Oh, absolutely. Also I love reminding myself that every single piece, even a "failed" one, is practice. It's okay if you didn't do your best this time or if you didn't draw at all for a while. Art should be fun, not daunting.

You're welcome, your ask actually kind of made me excited, since it means someone cares. That's really cool, I'm happy that my art appeals to you. And thank you, have a great day as well!

[wes-mstr]

Have you played Batman Telltale? Would you ever draw Harley Quinn, the Riddler, or Bane?

I have! Back when I was in middle school, I watched silent playthrough of telltale batman games and I was absolutely crazy about it. Even started drawing some small comic or whatever. But I've replayed it myself recently, the first season and half of the second one so far. Turns out, the only version of Bruce that I find compelling is the one where I'm doing the thinking for him (literally handed WE to the Penguin on a silver platter and told Selina to get lost approximately five times. It's a shame we can't romance Two Face)

I definitely think I'd redraw telltale Harley. I hated her so much as a kid, because I was rooting for doomed yaoi, but her fit goes so hard, lol. Love her, an absolutely insufferable queen. I don't think I've ever drawn Bane to begin with, so that would be nice actually. I really enjoy his telltale design. Riddler through should be ashamed at this point with how often I'm drawing him, so yeah, old man Riddler has pretty high chances of happening. But that jacket with a hood... Man, how does one come up with those fashion choices

Also, this is my first ever ask, I'm genuinely surprised that my blog is still alive. It's been really hard for me to maintain social media pages before. I love all of you, little gay people in my phone. Tumbler really makes it feel less scary to post my stupid little drawings and even stupider headcanons

[wes-mstr]

I can't help, but think about it every few months. First of all, let's pretend that the rogues have social media presence (for silly purposes, this is not a serious headcanon). I bet Two Face would've posted those joking skincare tiktok reviews.

"Guys, so I used (insert product name) on the left half of my face, let's compare the results now..." Pretends to freak out "Oh my god, look at what this chemical peel did! Well, you definitely won't get any acne after that..."

Also I need rogues recording those stupid grwm videos with an influencer accent. "Get ready with meee~ to go to the Arkham Asylum~"

[mortuarycrimes]

Haven’t interacted with the Gotham fandom since 2019 does anybody in this fandom have any trans head canons for The Riddler and Penguin or am I alone in this 🏳️‍⚧️

[wes-mstr]

Yeah, so, I don't know if that's what you were looking for, but I have some personal input on this. First of all, I could genuinely see them being t4t, you're so right. It's not a set in stone headcanon for me, but I like it.

So, the fun thing is, I actually figured that I am in fact a trans man while watching Gotham. To me Oswald was probably the first character who I could relate to so closely, because his story could easily be applied to mtf experiences.

The biggest thing for me probably was Oswald not being seen as a threat or taken seriously as well as other characters feeling justified to say things about Penguin's appearance, mental state and how he's perceived as an insult once he fucks up (for example, the scene with Gabe, before Penguin lashes out and murders the guy). I've experienced this a lot personally, those low blows out of nowhere after an unrelated mistake are very real.

Oswald is also very queer in his mannerisms and behaviour. Not necessarily feminine, but not exactly like the rest of the men in the show either. Especially compared to someone like Jim the straight man™. And this could be applied to older Penguin as well, because I know for sure if I didn't force myself to battle my insecurities, I would've also been a mean, bitter piece of shit after a while. Feeling disfigured or freakish is something that I've personally struggled with.

Riddler though just gives off trans vibes. Which way? Oh, well, that's a riddle. Could be anything at this point, lol. Also, I just want to throw it in, why didn't Riddler appear in any of the pride collection stuff, despite already being pretty much confirmed to be bi in the comics?

I find it so confusing honestly, but I feel like dc are just being cowardly with their villains being out and proud. Because Ivy and Harley as a pair are marketed as anti-heroes/vigilantes. It's probably the "good representation" problem all over again. I understand historical implications of queerness being villainized in media, but it could be done right. Being gay or trans shouldn't be a privilege reserved only for "the good ones"
