Could you write yandere headcanons for Arkham Riddler x male reader? If you don't do Arkham then BTAS?
sure thing! so far ive only played arkham knight (didnt realize it was the last installment til i was halfway through the plot) so thatll be where im drawing from
yandere!arkham!riddler x male!reader
-now, eddie is 100% bi (fight me), so hes not surprised when hes into a guy
-he is, however, surprised that hes actually romantically interested in someone enough to keep an eye on him as he navigates gotham
-this man... is interesting? and intelligent? that cant be possible, everyone but edward is a dribbling moron!
-but here you are, solving a few of the riddles hes placed around the city. he cant let you take the trophies, theyre for batman, but now hes certainly paying attention
-a few months after he first notices you, youre just go about your day when you notice a neon green question mark down an alley. another one of those trophies! might as well solve the puzzle, even if you dont get to keep it
-you solve the puzzle and go to try and grab the trophy, not expecting anything but a slight shock, but youre instead knocked to the ground from the voltage
-you wake up in default gothamite mode: tied to a chair in the middle of an empty room. of course, it had to happen eventually. soon, the riddler himself comes in to speak with you
-"good, youre awake. if i had to beat myself in chess again, id go completely insane"
-and he... sits down. sets up a chessboard on the table in front of you, and unties your hands. you play, mostly out of fear, and while you dont win, you get pretty close
-he looks shocked and excited, with a dash of smugness
-"i knew you were the one. second smartest man in gotham- right after me, of course"
-he explains to you that hes not going to kill you, just keep you ("i cant let that mind of yours make direct contact with the idiocy of gotham! your IQ will lower just by being around them!") and that he'll keep that mind of yours sharp
-how does he do this? puzzles. lots and lots of puzzles. hes a bit of a sadist, so the puzzles are mandatory if you want things like food. regardless of how you do, he'll keep you alive, but if you want anything more than the necessities, you better get good with puzzles
-he spends lots of time with you. he says its because youre the only interesting person in gotham, but its mostly because hes an incredibly lonely man. its hard being at the top, so he'll cling to anyone who can even get close to what he sees as his level
-he LOVES learning more about you. not that he didnt research you for months, but he could only gather so much information before kidnapping you. every conversation is like an interrogation
-in terms of affection, hes... interesting. if you earn your dinner, hes programming robots to serve as waiters and dusting off his green suit. i wouldnt call him a romantic, per se, but he certainly thinks of himself as such
-dont expect much in terms of physical affection, he takes a while to get to that point. hes the riddler, after all! hes above the need to cuddle! unless... if you need comfort, he supposes he can indulge you
-if you ever try to escape, he'll be furious. how dare you try and leave! how dare you assume hes dumb enough to not have planned for this! until you apologize, youre getting the bare necessities and no attention
-when you inevitably start to reciprocate, hes smug about it, but secretly ecstatic. he knows hes not the most charming guy around, but he managed to win over the second smartest guy in gotham. and isnt that all he really needs for companionship?

I swear, Black Spy is a prankster...
Since today for me was basically a do-nothing-day, I may as well just present y'all two of my favorite Spy vs. Spy comics from Bob Clarke's era out of sheer boredom because, I dunno, I'm crazy.
Here:
This is another one of those comics that gives me a feeling Black is quite a bit of a smart-alecky prankster. I LOL'ed at him basically creating the decoy, not to mention that he straight up strips down to his underwear here to pull the prank on (preassumably) White successfully, just like he previously did in one of the paperback comics from the early-70s (particularly in Operation: Safe Conduct, which was later made into an animated skit for MADtv towards the end of the first season about 23 or 24 years later).
Here's the second one from the same era that really splits my sides, which if I had to guess was probably released the same year as the first one, but this one was originally written by Prohias instead of Edwing, many years before Clarke eventually illustrated the actual comic as you see here:
Of course, Black pulls a prank on White once again, but this time not only exploits White's vanity (kind of) and embarrasses him the second his (White's) underpants are exposed (LOL; gotta love the blush poor White has as he attempts to pull his trousers back up in the second to last panel), but also straight up delivers a painful bash over White's head while his (White's) trousers were still down.
Anyhow, there are images of the original sketches of the second comic that was illustrated by Prohias on the internet, but I have no idea how old the original sketches are. Though I'm thinking about saving that for a different day.
For both comics, I gotta say "nice underpants, you two, LOL!"
I do not claim ownership of any content. Spy vs. Spy belongs to the late Antonio Prohias. Both comics were illustrated by Bob Clarke. The first one was written by the late Duck Edwing. The second comic was written by Antonio Prohias.
