Kissing the Riddler's 💋

Just a collection of Riddler's and drabbles. Apply your favourite lip balm/lip stick and pucker up, buttercup, we're smooching the Riddler's.

💚 Gotham

Let's say that you're attempting to steal a smooch from the season one dork that is Eddie. Say, press your lips to his cheek for a quick smooch because come on now, we're all wholesome angels here. He might not be able to take it if you were to be bold and land a hot one on his lips. If you want a lip kiss you'll get it later.

First of all he'd be stunned, flabbergasted, shocked!Gosh there's this adorable momentarily pause of him just staring ahead as if he had behold a sudden revelation. Once the initial shock has subsided, the kiss will process and he'll finally realise you just did that and proceed to be the reddest, most adorable man with his glasses and barely contained grin.

"A-Ah Y/N... Ahem uh... Thank you," This dork cannot piece together a response to save his life, plus the feels you've introduced to him.

He wants nothing more but your kissies that sometimes when you forget to give him his daily doses he'd be (not-so) subtly hint at this by clearing his throat. If wants lip kissies he'd be slightly puckering, or with cheek kissy, he'd be making his cheek prominently lifted up.

Season two Eddie, on the other hand...

Our dear, dear angel has been influenced by the absolute dom that is Oswald and learned how to be more firm and assertive with you. But boy, somethings don't change.

"Hey Y/N," He'd call and point at his cheek with an anticipating look.

💚 Young Justice

Is there anything he can't solve?

Rubik's cube? Nah, that's child's play. Riddles? Honey, that's his thing! Jigsaw puzzles? Oh please, he can do it in his sleep! Why Y/N wants to smother him in love and affection? ... Why?

You've made yourself into an enigmatic puzzle that is somehow enraptured by the Riddler that you'd actually love him. Was it a ruse? No, you're in a serious relationship now, there is no way you'd be that patient to make him think he actually has a chance with you!

"I mean look at me! I'm scrawny in comparison to the others in The Light, I'm not even high enough to match the likeness of your calibre and you are completely out of my lea—"

Suddenly, you were seated on his lap facing him, arms around his neck, hairsbreadth distance. Your warmth was intoxicating and you indulge him of your touch. He melts, shivering at the slightest when your fingers play his hair from his nape, tickling his neck with your ghostly touch.

Just... No matter how many times he deals with these rampant ideas about him and his feelings of inadequacy, you were there, ever so patient and attentive and willing to make him know that he is not what he thinks he is. He feels guilty, thinking that you were just feeling sorry for him and unable to break up with him due to this but on the contrary, you have always been there for him and you want nothing more that to see him learn how to love himself with you loving him and supporting him in every step.

💚 Arkham

Well it depends on which game. But they all have one thing in common... It's honestly weird to say that because he's one person, but I digress—

Clingy and absolutely needy, but he will deny it to death. He will flare if you'd tease him of the notion of him being a soft little thing whilst he is within your arms, at moments of silence and away from work. Ugh, I won't be able to take him seriously with him threatning us with the most graphic death whilst we stroke his head and run our fingers through his hair.

Like, stfu you grimy little rat 💚🐀🔧❓

He will never admit that these moments have a special place in his heart and nothing can ever amount to this certain treatment of yours. Not to mention... The kissies.

In moments wherein he finally surrender to his body and actually listen to it, he'd end up in your arms, on the bed, face caked with grease but come one, hug time is every time. If you're particularly icked out at the prospect of kissing the tired tall child, you'll need to convince him to at least wash his face first before you give him pecks.

It will take awhile, that's why we're patient and when he does, he'd regret not having it done sooner because by god— there's definitely something about your kisses.

💚 Batman the animated series

I just know he's one of those guys who'd put his arm at the small of your back and dip you to kiss you. Like the dramatic little reprobate he is, totally a romantic at heart and has a penchant of imitating the romanticised chivalry and affections from the late decades.

Yes, the man has fantasies about this domestic bliss but under his circumstances... Well, he can always still whip you into an impromptu dance in the middle of Gotham's collapse and kiss you in front of the burning buildings.

But let's talk about you giving him kisses instead of receiving, this man lives for the routine kisses you'd give him and he always knows when you would give him one. And frankly, he looks forward to it everytime! And certainly welcome unprompted ones, why would he complain about free smooches. When you don't proceed to the standard and routine kisses, he'd feel that there's something that isn't right, since you'd only do this to deprive him during quarells and such.

So picture this arrogant man with a massive hubris, who refuses to admit that we was wrong, slowly collapsing at the seams if you don't give him his kissies. He'd go through the stages of grief in a span of a moment, with his denial, bargaining, and eventually begging, he'll toss some tears in his eyes.

💚 The War of Jokes and Riddles

He's not particularly favourite Riddler, but a Riddler is a Riddler I guess.

So this man harbours zero amount of shame, of course he'd want you, all of you. From the purest and the filthiest, he will flaunt you. Just as the way you do the same thing to him. Not necessarily the flaunt part, because come on, his very presence is already a flex if that's how you define it.

I get that he's a bit of a showoff, an exhibitionist if you will. I mean, if you're there, it is seldom that his hands aren't on you. No, he would be shamelessly, practically draping himself on you. How could he keeps his hands to himself, when you're this damn fine? And you're his? Well, lucky guy.

As for kisses, oh god... I've already stated, this man has no shame if you'd take him right then and there, he really does feel himself when you'd kiss him. Fuck, you can even fuck him in the spot. It gives him a sense of strong feelings. Is it power? No, he doesn't feel power over you, power play isn't something he wants in the relationship, you're his equal. Perhaps the word is... Pure passion. It makes him feel loved, it gives him a sense of strength.

I get to make a least one non-horror-related post

This is a horror blog, but I'm going to talk about this anyway. Whoever decided on that open shirt design for the Ridder, whoever wanted Hollister brand Riddler, you're not a bad person but your sins will haunt you

Gave him an open shirt but left the bowler hat. You know what I am kink-shaming, it's wrong and you're wrong for liking it.

From a Kite Man WIP ("Good Grief") so long behind, I'm in a rut but here is a bit I'm tinkering with between Jason and Bruce #angst but ultimately #familyfeels

[[Jason has witnessed Bruce in a conversation with Chuck Brown (Kite Man) in a bar, chatting with him as Bruce Wayne, talking about their sons. Only, B knows that Chuck's son, Charlie, was killed by the Riddler (cf. Tom King's 'War of Jokes and Riddles'). Jason has a few words to say to Bruce about the bizarre strategy of talking to a rogue about his dead son as if that dead son had not been murdered. Bruce has some reasons, more human than Jason suspects.]]

----------------------------------------------------------------------

“I wanted him to--to say Charlie’s name. To be able to say his son’s name. Out loud. In the present tense. I wanted him to have that.”

“A delusion," Jason growls.

“A benediction.”

“Why?”

“Because it is what got me through when nothing else would.”

“Pretending. Pretending it didn't happen.”

“No.”

“Well that explains why Joker’s still breathing. Insteada doin’ somethin’ about it, you just chose to fucking forget I ever--”

“Don’t. You don’t get to suggest--you don’t ever get to suggest something like that. I will never forget. Never. That’s not what I was doing. When I needed it most, I allowed myself a few moments--”

“To pretend I wasn’t murdered.”

“To say your name. To talk to you. And yes. In a way. To imagine you might hear me. What you might say.”

Jason snorts. “That’s fucking sad.”

“Yes, Jason. It is sad. But it is…it is what I had.”

“Talking to a dead kid.”

“Yes. Talking to my son. My dead son. Whom I failed in the worst imaginable way. So when I was alone, and I didn’t want to be anymore, I let myself talk to you. I let myself say your name. I let myself imagine how your day went. The things you were looking forward to. How much you'd put in the swear jar that day.”

“That’s kinda fucked up.”

“Having your son murdered is kinda fucked up.”

“Do you still do that? Talk to me like that?”

“Sometimes.”

“Because I’m still dead to you.”

“Because there are nights when you can’t even stand to look at me. To let me hear your voice. To let me…acknowledge the reality of you. And I find that very difficult. And I want to ask you to let me have those things. But even after all the mistakes I’ve made in my life, Jason, I won’t ever sink so low as to ask you to forgive me for something that is fundamentally unforgivable. So I find myself asking other things instead. In a way I know how.”

“What do you ask me?”

“What you’ve been reading lately. And I ask if you’ve thought about going back to school. And you usually wave me off that road.” Bruce almost smiles. “So then I ask you how you think the Knights are going to do this season. I ask you if you’ve seen your brothers lately, and if you could keep an eye on one another. And I ask if you could stop by and see Alfred soon. Because I know he misses you. He’s not supposed to have favorites, but…I ask you…I ask you if you’re happy. Or if you think you could be.”

“What do I say?”

“You don’t answer me anymore.”

“That’s ‘cos I’m not dead anymore.”

“I know.”

“Do you?”

“Yes.” Bruce, unshakeable. “I do know that, Jason. It is beyond words how much I know that. Believe it or not. But you can’t just expect me to forget that you died. I held you. And I buried you. A Father doesn’t just move on from that. It will be with me forever.”

[SKIP more angst here to---]

Jason breaks the silence. “P.G. Wodehouse.”

“Pardon?”

“I’ve been going through P.G. Wodehouse. It’s funny and it’s stupid, and nothing really bad ever happens. And I like lookin’ up all the literary references. And I always think of Alfred. And you, kind of. If everything hadn’t happened with you, maybe you would have just been this dumb himbo like Bertie. Bertie’s Brucie, basically. It makes me laugh.”

[Bruce hasn’t seen/heard Jason really laugh since before his death]

“Alfred used to read those to me too. It’s been years.”

“Yeah. You should check ‘em out again.”

“I will.”

“You could ask me those things, you know. Actually ask me. I mean, I might tell you to fuck off. I’m still gonna have those days. Sometimes my head gets…” he makes loopy circles around his ear like he's some kind of crazy person. “But, I didn’t know you…I didn’t think you cared about that kind of stuff.”

“I do.”

“Okay.”

“Maybe you could tell me which one to start with. Your favorites.”

“I could text you a list, I guess.”

Bruce nods. “Please.”

“Please?” Jason makes a face. “You’re weirdin’ me out, Old Man.”

Bruce arches an eyebrow, “I could be more of a prick if you’d prefer.”

Jason laughs, surprised. “Shit. I had a whole ‘nother speech all lined up too.”

“Oh, please, I wouldn’t want to miss it--”

“Don’t fuckin push it.”

Bruce bites back a laugh. “I don’t suppose you’d consider dinner--”

Jason edgy, “I'll swing by to see Alf. And. Maybe we’ll talk about a few dates, see what works for him.”

Bruce lays his head down. For once, he feels the prosaic weight of sleep pulling him down into the mattress, limbs pleasantly heavier by the second. And it’s not from a pill, and it’s not from the exhaustion of running himself ragged for weeks at a time. It’s the rare rest you get after ending a day in a way that satisfies something in the soul. Some kind of sated hunger of the heart.

Bruce nods, “Thank you.”

[Bruce goes to bed]

It’ll be gone by tomorrow. And then he’ll have to try all over again.

“Charlie,” he whispers. "Charlie."

The Riddler’s being possessive??? Someone tries to talk to his S/O alone and the Riddler wants attention so he kind of places himself between their conversation or pulls S/O aside? I’m not sure if this is a good ask, but thank you. I love your work!

a/n: oh no anon don’t worry this is a beautiful ask. Being the absolute attention whore he is and the moment he finds someone that will give him that attention, you can bet he isn’t going to let that slip away AT ALL

The Riddlers Being Possessive

Arkhamverse Riddler:

Edward tries to hide his possessiveness over you. 

After all, he doesn’t care what you do or why you do them-just as long as you’re out of his way–

However, there is no denying the weird knot in his gut at you getting closer to the other Rogues. 

Why do you want to spend time with them? Surely, you could be learning far more useful and intelligent things from HIM.

He starts coming up with menial tasks for you to do, so that you are too occupied to see anyone or have anyone steal your attention. 

You have to always be by his side whenever there’s a gathering of rogues. 

Edward will often be the barrier between you and the others, even childishly blocking you from even waving at Harley. 

Edward thinks he’s hiding it well, he’s being clever about it, but it’s pretty blatant to you and the others.  

Reevesverse/Dano Riddler:

Edward already can’t believe that he has you.

He sure as hell isn’t going to let someone else sweep you away.

He freezes every time he sees you talking to someone else. 

Who are they? Who are they to you? Family? Friend? Ex-love?

A possible new love interest to come and take you away and leave him miserable like the world continues to do to him?

Edward is already plotting to find out who they are, where they live, and how to dispose of them–

He’ll already have several different plans by the time you get back to him.

You’ll have to do a lot of reassuring and grounding him back to Earth, and that you aren’t going anywhere. 

Gotham Riddler:

Ed doesn’t like how much attention you draw to yourself. 

And it’s even more frustrating when you don’t even see what you’re doing. 

Edward constantly feels like he has to cut in on your conversations. 

He has to pull you away and bring your attention back to him

Ed will instantly question the conversation, what your intentions were, etc. 

You are by his side the rest of the time no matter what. 

Even if someone approaches you, he’ll instantly interject, and squeeze his arms around you or hold your hand tighter. 

No matter where you are or what the situation calls for, everyone will know you’re his. 

BTAS Riddler:

Edward knows better than most what it’s like to have something you care about taken from you suddenly. 

When it comes to someone he loves…there’s definitely less control and more opportunities for loss. 

He wants to be confident in the relationship, to not be possessive…

But he’s still worried about losing you somehow…

He sees you smiling and enjoying yourself with another person…

Ed has an internal conflict of just leaving you be. 

Or coming over there and making sure…nothing was happening. 

He’s trying his best…

Zero Year/Capullo Riddler:

Pfftt…please.

He couldn’t care less who you are with, who you’re talking to-

Ed’s seeing and talking to other people too, you can too. 

He doesn’t own you and you don’t own him–

Yet when he wants your attention…and you don’t give it to him?

Ed becomes absolutely insufferable. 

He’ll blow up your phone, he’ll show up at your place unannounced, cancel whatever plans you had with whatever company. 

Yeah, you can do what you want, to a point anyway. 

TWOJAR Riddler:

Edward doesn’t hide the fact that he’s possessive.

He always has to have you by his side. 

Ed’s arms are always around you, hands on you, you are always sitting in his lap.

No one should really dare to approach you, but regardless some people don’t get the memo.

He won’t disrupt or anything but he will definitely keep an eye on your interaction. 

Ed will wait for a moment before swooping in and stealing your attention back to him.

Not before making the other person…extremely uncomfortable anyhow.

He doesn’t care, as long as the message is clear; that you’re his.

Telltale Riddler:

Honestly, he’s the least likely to be possessive…

Much like Arkhamverse, however he’s a bit better at hiding it by distracting himself. 

He does have his moments where he constantly asks you what you’ve been up to..

Edward’s very observant, he notices you not being around much.

Or he’ll overhear you talking to someone on the phone–you sound very amused…

He’s not bothered just interested…

Totally not concerned that you may be leaving him for someone more…emotionally available. 

Young Justice Riddler:

Eddie truly doesn’t mean to come off as possessive. 

His possessiveness, like Dano Riddler, is fueled more or less by his insecurities. 

He doesn’t want to lose you, and he’s aware of that possibility at every waking moment. 

However, he’s also aware that he may be coming off…controlling…suffocating. 

Ed will see you talking to someone and will immediately get self-conscious. 

Especially if he sees you smiling and clearly enjoying the company. 

He goes through a bunch of worse-case scenarios that continue to snowball into you leaving him…

Until you walk up to him with a bright smile and hold his hand, instantly comforting him.

[matildaverse]

Okay, I had an idea to do my take on how Eddie got his scar. Essentially, my HC combines Batman annual #4 and War of Jokes and Riddles. The asylum hurt him and he wanted to make a funky ? of his scars to kinda reclaim power over his silly little body. Just kinda like power as a motif throughout his villain journey obviously starting with the papa abuse plot and his desperate attempts to gain power over Gotham and specifically Batman.

Unfortunately, I ran out of time and didn’t convey ANY of that he just looks like a messy whore.

The War of Jokes and Riddles Riddler Mild NSFW Headcanons

I didn't intend this to be sexual at first but my sleep deprived brain was on autopilot and somehow I awoke from my reverie and be met with whatever this is. Enjoy I guess.

🔞 MINORS DNI

💚 An absolute Dom in and outside the bedroom. You cannot tell me, that this man can make anyone do his bidding with one word. Like, you'd think that he controls the universe with how much influence he has on people. Admittedly, not all can bend to his will, but oh god does it seem so tempting to obey him and hear him praise you?

💚 👏BODY👏WORSHIP👏

Both receiving and giving.

It's seldom that he gives out praises and when he does, he means it. And boy, will he be pleased to know from you that you appreciate him the same way as he does.

💚 This man appreciates a good slow burn in pretty much everything. Nothing like building the passion, the tasteful anticipation, the thrill of edging. And the scoundrel is one hell of a tease, he lives off of seeing you squirm and let out pitiful whines, pleading and pleasing him to finally get on with it.

💚 I'm getting service top vibes from him. Like, at arbitrary moments he'll find himself wanting to hear you screech his name and then suddenly he's between your legs. Buuuuuuut, he certainly wouldn't say no if you were to return the service.

💚 There are times wherein he wouldn't be by your side, something he finds unbearable and so he substitutes his his presence with a present, something to remember him by (because by god, this man can disappear for months). Gifts differ, from jewelry, sex toys, an article of his clothing with his perfume embedded on it, a full outfit, etc etc.

He knows these gifts are not going to proxy his presence, so he also includes a thoughtful letter detailing his disappearance. Detailed, meaning Batman can get to you for information but good luck to Bats if he can even try to get through you. Edward trusts you enough to make his plans known to you and knows that you will never spill. 

💚 Aftercare is massively crucial for him as much as the lengthy foreplay. There is no way in hell that he'd leave you after sex, he may be a scoundrel but he's no 'hit-it-and-leave-it'. If this seems like it's a grand gesture to you, to him, it isn't. It's bare fucking minimum, take notes everyone. So he'll attend to whatever you need, honey 😊

💚 Handsy. He practically drapes his arms on your shoulders, the small of your back, waist, or holding your hand in his, or that elbow looping thing too. When he embraces you, it's always close, always lengthy, as if he never wants to let go. And in make out sessions, his hands runs over your body, appreciating every single inch of your skin.

💚 LINGERIE. There's nothing more to say here, he will show how grateful he is if you were to greet him with you in a pretty lingerie. Also wearing his colour? Oh my, slow this rabid man down or he might just rip it off you. To be frank, he couldn't care less about the lingerie, but to take your time and cash to do something for him? Mmm mmm 😩
