Letters from Jonathan || Arkham Knight Verse (Ko-fi Commission for finniestoncrane)

Dear Edward,

It has been several weeks since my capture and unfortunate failure. This letter comes to you out of anger, and perhaps desperation. You, among a few others, escaped shortly after the incident on halloween and I, unable to get up from the floor did not make it out the double doors of the GCPD.

I am now in Arkham, and while letters are normally not permitted, I have my ways with the guard. You should be receive this shortly after the first of December. I need a way out.

I can’t stand it here, you know as well as I, that this man does not do well in cramped quarters, and certainly not with a mangled leg. I can’t even lay in bed comfortably, as if these pathetic excuses for beds are comfortable.

Come get me. Make a scene. Use your damned bots if you have to. I don’t care how you do it, but you better find a way.

-Crane

Dear Jonathan,

I have expiated this letter and it should be in your hands by the 4th, let’s hope your friendly neighborhood arkham guard brings it to your cell.

You need to be prepared for my GRAND entrance, as I do not want your pitiful self to fall behind due to a panic attack. You’re stronger than that, yes? Good. I’ll pretend you’re nodding along.

I have set my wonderus, fantastical, and loyal Riddler-bots to storm the compound at 12:04am, right when the guards chance shifts. If you’re lucky, the guard I paid handsomely to hand this letter over should have also inserted a key fob. Use that to release yourself and head down the south corridor past those dreaded therapy offices--there’s a vent to the left of Leland’s room that leads directly outside. Assuming you can muster the strength, crawl though as my bots create a distraction. If the damned dark knight can do it, you can too.

I will be awaiting you.

Your bestest friend, Edward

P.S: that’s sarcasm

If someone was impersonating them, what would friends / family ask or do to tell the difference?

What simple activity that most people do / can do scares your character?

What’s a secret they haven’t told serious romantic partners and don’t plan to tell?

What’s a simple daily activity / motion that they mess up often? For both Nathan and Vito mwah just some nice regular questions that anyone would ask :) <3333

Oh my god I'm sorry this took so long I couldn't figure out how to answer them 😭😅 You picked hard questions. But thank you, it gave me a lot to think about!

From these questions here:

11. If someone was impersonating them, what would friends / family ask or do to tell the difference?

I think with Nathan the easiest option would be just to wait and see if his behavior is off. Otherwise, Valen can simply ask him questions regarding the early days of their relationship and he'll know pretty quickly.

With Vito, honestly just ask him to shift. If the impersonator is human, they won't be able to, and if they're a werewolf they won't physically be able to shift the same way Vito does.

(Disregarding the fact that both Valen and Vesper would know because of the fact that they're vampires and Nathan and Vito are their bonded mates. The impersonator wouldn't feel or smell right.)

22. What simple activity that most people do / can do scares your character?

I'll be honest I've been wracking my brain since getting this question and cannot for the life of me think of an answer. Both Nathan and Vito have their fears and insecurities, but none of them fit into "simple activities others can easily do". They don't fear driving or social settings or even making phone calls, anything like that. So the honest answer is: nothing.

37. What’s a secret they haven’t told serious romantic partners and don’t plan to tell?

Nathan keeps to himself when someone tries to flirt with him when Valen isn't around. He shuts any advances down as soon as they happen, and he's not worried about Valen thinking he's cheating. But he knows if Valen was aware of it he'd potentially get aggressively possessive, and as much as Nathan likes that about Valen, sometimes it's easier to keep the peace by keeping things to himself. Unless it reaches an uncomfortable extreme, or Nathan doesn't feel safe, then he tells him immediately.

Vito, he'll likely never tell Vesper exactly how painful shifting can be. He's done it for so long and so often, he's gotten very good at getting it over with quickly and ignoring the pain. But tendons and muscles and bones shifting and changing will always hurt. It's a part of him, the wolf trapped under his skin, and giving that up isn't an option in his mind. So rather than worrying the man who cares about him, he just grits his teeth and keeps the aching to himself. Like how people who live with chronic pain have a different baseline for pain levels.

57. What’s a simple daily activity / motion that they mess up often?

Neither really have that problem, not long term at least. Nathan's issues lie in his memory, so messing something up tends to stem from forgetting, while Vito often just has to overcome usual learning curves. Both are in their own way adept at adjusting to their situation, and willing and able to make changes to their routines or how they do something to accommodate themselves if needed. At worst, Nathan might forget to grab something before leaving the house if it's not part of his routine, and Vito might accidentally skip lunch if he's busy. But they don't often mess up the simple things frequently.

I agree that "in Germany your boss legally has to provide you with work while you're at your job" is a bit funny considering the German stereotype. But I am really annoyed at people who act like this is some horrible hypercapitalist thing on that post about pushing people out of their jobs by just not giving them anything to do. When really it's very basic worker protection (within the context of German emplyment law.) Because under most circumstances you can't just be fired from your job. Your employer has to provide a reason for firing you if they want to get rid of you. You also have a right to specifially the work you were hired to do.

So your boss having to give you appropriate work makes illegal any of the following:

a) Making you clean toilets instead of (or in addition to) the clearly defined office job you agreed to do

b) Not giving you work and then firing you for not doing your work

c) Waiting for you to crack under the intense boredom of having to stay on one place with absolutely nothing to do for eight hours a day while your coworkers are roped into it to shun you (or hate you because for some reason you're the only one who doesn't have to do any work) until you quit "voluntarily"

or d) waiting for you to crack under the aformentioned pressure until you do what the people in the notes said they'd do, like watching movies or doing a second job instead which is something you then can be reprimanded and fired for

Winner of the poll was NOAH (they/them)! We've been asked about the Puppet Archetype for a long time in Rumble. Here they are! Honestly I'm still working out how they fit into the cast dynamic of the game but I'm pretty happy with the design.

Nobody Anymore Nobody Anymore

[This comic is part of my dbhc au, following the chaos and panic that ensues after Doc and Xisuma try to get Etho back online at the start of s9 after a very rough s8 finale that leaves him a little. broken. It's set to the vibes of Joywave's Destruction. This part concludes this comic, but this moment doesn't end here: Don't Let it Reach the Heart will be the title of the fic that will follow the end of Destruction!]

loser!könig finally breaks, he can’t handle it anymore. He needs you, he needs touch, he needs someone to help him relieve the ache in his frustrated, swollen cock.

loser!könig is on his knees, clinging to your leg with his cheek smushed to your thigh, mumbling unintelligible pleas into your skin.

loser!könig lets out a sob when your delicate hand slides into his hair, trailing your fingers over his scalp. Using that gentle, sweet voice to ask him what’s going on, what’s wrong, what happened.

loser!könig who looks up at you with glassy eyes and a trembling bottom lip, his desperate hold on you tightening when he catches your turned brows and features stitched in worry.

loser!könig whines and mutters nonsense as he presses his face back into your warm, cozy thigh, planting sloppy kisses to the sensitive skin. The stubble on his jaw sands against you while he paints you in his slobber and broken pleads.

loser!könig can’t control himself anymore, he needs release, grinding his painful erection against your shoe, his strong arms holding you steady even though you’re frozen in place. Your fingers are still laced with locks of his hair, but your soft scratches have ceased while he ruts his hips into you.

loser!könig lasts only seconds, needy whimpers and pathetic moans silenced when his muscles twitch around you, staining the inside of his underwear with his generous, pent-up finish.

loser!könig and you are both still and silent, the only sound that cuts through the heavy air is his exhausted, heaved breaths.

loser!könig lets out a sniveling whine, his eyes pinching shut, hiding his burning face in your thigh when you resume your gentle, soothing scratches through his hair.
