rattling the f1 girlies for manifesting this unto my feed,,

coz now i'm just thinkin about hanako, & how she studied under professor ookido, how she wanted to travel, wanted to be a trainer, the few glimpses we had showed her as a competent battler,,,, but then satoshi's father happened. & any hopes of being a trainer became satoshi's. this is what i mean when i say i take insp from just. the sports world; this is coincidental & i don't like Actively take insp from irl people but like my god do i feel a pat on the back of validation as my shit being Real when i see quotes like this. also taking this moment to yell hey verstappens why are you satoshi n hanako coded--

#i feel normal thank you #no but like i do try hard to make my portrayals feel like real people esp when certain aspects are glossed over in canon #like satoshi & hanako not. really spending a lot of time together & not actually knowing each other as well as they used to #theyre effectively strangers by now but. still family that loves each other & wants the best for the other while also being deeply selfish #but in that like. horseshoe way where it goes back into selflessness #dragging my hands down my face #ooc. pkmn is autistic culture.

idk meta about my interps of riddler and aaron and what it means for them and how they treat each other

spinning off in my own little world has yielded what I am absolutely sure to be an only slightly insane interpretation of tb!riddler; this is someone who's been dismissed, belittled, scapegoated, used countless times, whose inflated sense of ego is... yes, an inflated sense of ego, but also a cover for an insanely damaged self-esteem and general inability to connect with other people. he's defensive of his interests because they've always been mocked until they're useful, he's defensive and selfish with his skills because when he works for someone else and does as he's told he's accustomed to taking the fall. he doesn't trust when people are nice to him because he's been primed to see it as an attempt at manipulation... and he worked as an operator for a carnival game in what I see as his late teens + early twenties while he was getting his degree, so he knows full well what it's like to be manipulative. being an operator for a fun little carnival game where the fun of playing is the real prize is different from leading someone on and stealing their work, though. the biggest similarity is that the games are rigged from the start and only an idiot wouldn't see that (he didn't see that, what does that make him).

so it leaves him intensely distrusting, competitive, accustomed to relying on only himself (except for his little nerd armada, god I love the riddlemen they're perfect in every way) and letting himself be the only person to call the shots. at the same time... he is desperately reaching out for connection. he's lonely! he wants to be validated and treated like he has value for being just a person, not for his immense smarts, though he'd appreciate that too.

aaron coming into the picture doesn't necessarily change things so much as it puts a new coat of paint over it, because eddie finds himself in the same position his own father was in (and failed) but also... not at all. not in the slightest. he saw, in aaron, a kindred spirit who was used, who was abandoned, someone who wanted to get back at a system that was rigged from the start. and, I mean, it's not like Batgirl and Robin aren't on the scene. (and prank and scorn, which is its own thing.) the way I see it, eddie didn't intend for aaron to be more comfortable as sphinx. it just... happened. eddie sinks deeply into riddler as a protective layer against the world (prickly intellect and a mean streak that quite frankly dissolves the very second it's not of use?), aaron takes the thing he loved that became a horrible burden and a source of pain and turns it into the weapon he uses to get back at the world as sphinx.

to some degree, eddie is trying to protect and nurture the child in him that loved puzzles and was shot down at every turn. aaron is the opposite; he grew up fast, too fast, was on a global stage at fourteen and acting like an adult (without the adult privilege of making decisions for himself) and being treated like an adult with his area of expertise. eddie trips facefirst into love with someone who is only using him, and pays the price; aaron carefully portrays himself as someone unattainable and undesirable in his relationship with the other villain sidekicks, prank and scorn. (the context for that is sphinx went to them each separately, after their respective disasters, and went; hey. nobody's going to look out for us. people are going to try and use us. people won't take us seriously. we have to look out for each other. and they have a groupchat where aaron talks scorn down from doing dumb violent shit and donnie goes through cycles where he relapses into prank with joker. all very interesting. I should talk about it later. he's very much a mother hen because like eddie, he needs a sense of control and he cares deeply for people).

so... aaron acts like an adult, mainly. eddie helps him make a fake identity and aaron takes over from there. he's trying to be as convenient as possible, and it never comes out but he's afraid that he'll be discarded as soon as he's more trouble than he's worth-- which would distress eddie if he found out. sphinx is useful, and smart, and eager to please, and takes care of himself. sphinx is altogether more comfortable to be than aaron, who is anxious and doesn't know how to ask for help or care and feels ashamed that he wants it. eddie is his superior, not a father figure. neither of them know how to navigate this.

when aaron graduates high school, he goes to college-- this is when he stops being sphinx and starts being tyto, triggered by him investigating the disappearance of a classmate and friend and discovering a seedy underbelly to newark. it's where his and eddie's similarities come to an uncomfortable forefront. aaron, when given the opportunity, is obsessive. he's willing to wait, but only for so long. a few years ago I was pretty adamant about aaron not killing, but over the years I've honestly changed my mind... I think that he doesn't intentionally kill, but it's happened. and with the people he's targeting, he's not especially guilty about it.

anyway, eddie doesn't figure out about tyto for a while, he thinks that aaron's just retired aside from visiting gotham and doing sphinx stuff for him as a favor on long weekends and holidays, and when he does he's surprised at how much he does not like it. he did invite sphinx into the whole business with the promise of getting back at people who hurt them (and the world, in general, and the way things are rigged, and it's fine for them to break the rules because nothing is fair) but that was stealing money. blackmailing people, at most! silly bullshit like jello bombs. people in speeding cars they control so they're not really in any danger. distractions. you know. supervillainy? tyto is not a supervillain. tyto is not even necessarily a vigilante, though that's what he's treated as. tyto is indeed getting back at people with precise and violent intent, much as an unsupervised nineteen year old with extensive training and too much compassion for his own good might.

it's not going to end well! it's a hopeless crusade that leaves power vacuums and is endless work, and what's going to happen when aaron graduates? How the hell can Eddie respond to that? he can't tell aaron to stop because he's not in charge of him anymore. he doesn't disagree with what aaron is doing but it might get him killed, and in fact there is a high chance that it might get him killed.

anyway I think that's what makes eddie realize that he cares for aaron a lot more deeply than he ever expected he does, or should. and once again things are spiraling out of his control and the only thing he can do is watch and hope there's enough pieces left to pick up.

#aaron griffin #tb!riddler #the riddler #me post #DRAGGING MY HANDS DOWN MY FACE #sidekick squad is immensely important to me #andy kills william when he gets out of prison => graduates to vigilante (stalker) #RH kills joker and prank eventually goes solo as a tiktok influencer => jester #aaron has a lot of trauma about a lot of things and sees a chance to make a difference by putting his hands around someone's throat => tyto #jester is a batgirl rogue and it's fantastic. they are friends. donnie gets enough tiktok money to move out of his dad's apartment #and buy clothes that FIT #donnie is absolutely being neglected lmao his clothes don't fit his hair is messy he latches immediately without question onto the #first adult to treat him with respect and pay positive attention to him #which contributes to the cycle of... joker approaching him again and again with small; generally harmless pranks #getting him to escalate. keeping him essentially huffing low dosages of joker gas in their little planning warehouse. #pushing him to do more and more dangerous things until donnie pushes back like hey I don't want to actually hurt people #and then joker goes too far and donnie runs away and comes down off of a week-long gas high #and two or three months pass... cycle repeat #for andy william is like 10 years older than him so old enough to step in as a 'parental' figure but with none of the skills #pressure pressure pressure on andy who has trouble adjusting to seeing him as an authority figure #putting on a show of being good brothers and a good team to everybody else while being wildly dysfunctional #living in their parent's apartment while their parents are in prison #william taking his teen brother on jobs to be a thug. more pressure. hatred for people who have better but unable to parse it #as sadness and jealousy #both of them getting gassed; william going to jail; andy is a minor so he's released on probation and goes to live alone #detoxing off of a concentrated dose of joker gas #he's the foil for dick so while dick loses his parents and gains a new support and purpose in being robin #andy is wrapped up in scorn and likely goes right back to being a thug for people when he needs money because #what else can he do? #aaron is both of their lifelines as the closest thing to a functional adult they can trust (while he is actually younger than andy

i need to be more passionate about math and science. just because i'm married to english literature doesn't give me an excuse to be ignorant. you can't write if you don't know anything.

glass houses and all, I've made bad deals in my time and I've failed to consult IP lawyers in cases where I probably should have, but putting your entire codebase up as collateral on a loan that you're paying more or less entirely through someone else's charity feels like it really shouldn't be fucking Plan A

#dragging my hands down my face as I read the explanation that this was somehow a better plan than selling 'real' equity in a company #this is such a bad idea that it should actually be your last possible plan. this is Plan Z at best #this is how you lose everything in the most catastrophic possible way with no chance at all of recovery #this is giving me a headache just thinking about it. did a lawyer even touch the paper this deal was written on #this isn't getting renegotiated. full IP rights is the ideal answer that issuers dream of getting their hands on. that's all you have

ok no actually coz im still & forever thinking about
