DP x DC prompt [3]
during one of the final psych evals at Arkham right before he gets to be released, the whole thing wrapped up so tidy, just a little relapse which involved a robbery. Getting sent back to Arkham, but he got to stay at the asylum so long that he no longer has to serve a prison sentence, score!
But during that eval his overseeing psychiatrist recommended him to have a change of scenery, some fresh non polluted air.
Riddler was rather convinced the guy was making this recommendation to everyone in Arkham in their own weird way to convince them to just leave Gotham and become someone else's problem. should he notify Batman about it somehow? nah, it’ll be more interesting to see how this is gonna turn out in the long run.
But can he leave the state? Can he even leave the city? he never really bothered to look into it, at least not legally, up until now if he felt he needed to leave for one of his plans he just did it.
Turns out he can, it’s a whole hassle and a half though, first a judge and then a probation officer and he’s pretty sure both were like “what the hell is this psychiatrist guy thinking!?” but at the same time, shrink probably knows what he’s doing (WRONG) so he’s allowed to go visit out of state family or whatever.
he had to wear this nice ankle monitor though, Wayne Enterprises™ tech, not overly bulky but still very present. real fancy, and a fun extra challenge heh.
now as for a good reason to leave New Jersey he’s going to need distant relatives, and he finds some, great grandpa walker also has a son, who had a son who had a daughter Madeline, who married some guy Jack Fenton, and she lives somewhere out in the boonies Illinois. great he’ll visit her.
far enough away in all sense of the word that there is no way she knows anything about him. it would be best to call her first though, be polite about it.
“hello, you have reached Fenton works, this is Maddie speaking”
“Riddle me this-” ah whoops, habit, oh whatever, “we don’t share parents, but certainly a part of your life, from laughter to strife. Who am I?”
there is a pause … he’s going to be a bit disappointed if she hangs up if he’s honest.
“cousins~” comes the cheery reply.
“correct! the name is Edward Nygma, we are distantly related you and I and well-”
“oh you simply must come visit!”
well this was rather easy, perhaps a little too easy, but she lives in the midwest so maybe just going with whatever some guy says over the phone is normal there? stranger danger not really a thing in a small town where everyone knows everyone?
things start to make a little more sense once he gets there and he’s starting to think some things might run in the family. like a preference for the colour green and weird hyperfixations and genius bordering on insanity. Though that remains to be seen, Jack does not seem like a very bright light after his very enthusiastic welcome.
their kids however are observant and sharp. young Jasmine is wasting no time trying to psychoanalyze him. and the boy, Danny, he had not really meant to and he swears he’s sticking with calling the kid Danny so he wouldn’t seem overly familiar, but he might have called him little bird a couple times now.
but that’s all whatever, he’s playing nice here. and he doesn’t even have to worry about his eccentricities tripping him up because this place is insane.
There actually is a local teen vigilante active but he seems about as loved as he’s disliked. and the ghost boy’s enemies are basically all his own kind, which another crazy thing to now know about. ghost. they are real actually, how is Gotham not completely overrun? and how do they even work? and where do they keep coming from?
Edward might be getting a little sidetracked here. He had fully intended to sneakily get his next big game plan underway all the way out here, ankle monitor be damned. but he hasn’t made any progress at all.
Instead he’s been listening to Madeline and Jack to maybe figure out what the deal is with these ectoplasmic entities, he has to know, at this point he might go crazier if he doesn’t.
He’s making Jasmine promise him not to get her doctorate in Gotham, he’s going back and forth with space riddles with Danny.
so yeah the whole thing kinda just became a vacation, maybe the psychiatrist had the right idea after all? hmm nah, probably not. but this is fun. He’s thinking about recommending this place to some of the others.
It's different enough to get the vacation feel, but enough crazy shit happens to make it all feel like home.
it is not until Maddie wants to talk with him about potentially switching the position of godfather of Danny to him rather than some weird rich friend of theirs that Edward realizes he might have lost the plot somewhere
Apparently the little bird basically begged them with a powerpoint presentation on how he likes Edward so much more than that Vladimir guy.
And honestly, the fellow sounds like a Dracula Lutho so even if it’s kinda sad Edward can understand why he’d be considered a better option. Even if the guy has more money and a huge company that makes him said money. And it’s not like the Fentons know about his Riddler activities.
Thinking it over, Edward does think that Danny would like Gotham and Wayne has that space program thing right? The kid is definitely smart enough for that (Nygma certified), and yeah Edward does quite like their space themed back and forth. So, fuck it, why not, what is the worst that could happen?
He doubts Maddie and Jack are gonna kick it any time soon anyway out here in the boonies, it’s just a title thing, a stamp of approval or something.
he should have known he was going to eat those words later… he had this whole beautifully elaborate trap set up for the whole Batclan, and he was just getting to the good part when his phone went off.
Had to put the whole thing on pause cause that particular contact wasn’t gonna get ignored. He did promise to be available.
If the whole thing he had planned now went tits up he could at the very least laugh later at the reactions of the bats as he told them to “hold up one second, I have to take this.” while they were all in various perilous positions.
Sadly he did have to go, he had a very distressed godson to pick up.

"Grief? Then why do you force this false joy upon us? We are dancing on your brother's grave."
#the emotional impact and the many layers of how tragic this entire sequence is...delicious food#rodrigo burying juan is intercut with everyone being happy and celebrating lucrezia's betrothal...perfectly juxtaposing dark and light#& a moving OST matching grief-stricken rodrigo over pitting juan against his siblings & howling alone in the garden for causing this mess#while lucrezia &cesare were living in their own world fountain-dancing together in happiness as if they were celebrating#also the last time ceslu were truly happy: ces getting rid of the cardinal robes &lu celebrating paolo's avenging#juan's untimely fate. not getting closure & never having the chance to explain his piece is what makes the siblings' trio dynamics haunting#(well he kinda confessed to cesare anyway but it was too late & cesare wasn't planning to listen either way bc he needed to get it done)#anyway if any ceslu-er uses this post for the occasional juan bashing in my notifs it's an instant block not sawry lol#the borgias#cesare borgia#lucrezia borgia#perioddramaedit#romancegifs#dailyflicks#cinemapix#tvedit#tvarchive#perioddramasource#weloveperioddrama#by jen

Tosses up Kirishima Moms up here. I always found it funny how small Eijirou originally had normal teeth before his quirk came in, so I imagine as he was losing baby teeth, he had a mix of shark teeth and regular human teeth for a while.
#kirishima eijirou#kirishima mha#kirishima moms#momoart#Sameko can make her skin either really rough or smooth#along with basic shark qualities#Kairi can form instant callouses anywhere on her body#Kairi is a marine biologist and Sameko is a stay at home mom

zzz sleepy thoughts
laying in bed with your fave. it's a cold night as the inevitable chill of low temps season washes over you and your beloved. there's a blanket at the foot of the bed, of course, but what reason did you have to use it when you had someone else to share warmth with?
you tend to get cold at the extremities faster than others, and you've always struggled to find a way to restore feeling to the numbed nerves. on nights like these, there's one simple solution.
you slip your hand under your darling's nightclothes, humming softly as the warmth of their skin soothes at your touch, banishing the chill. your love stirs some from a half-doze, nuzzling deeper into your hair and breathing deeply, your eyes catching the way her chest rises and falls with contentment—the same fuzzy feeling filling cotton in every inch of your drowsy head.
you take her little imperceptible groan of delight as invitation, and settle your freezing palms on a nice, comfortable spot along the curve of your lover's back, your thighs curling around hers as twining vines ought to do. and you know, simple as it is, that your sleep won't be quite as sniffly tonight—and neither will your mornings be, either.
#🌙 chuca drabbles#chose not to name any names but#in my head i was thinking of#arlecchino x reader#for this one#but i also see it as feixiao x reader!#either way it's cuddling with your babygirl slash wife slash lover slash gf :))#inspired by me getting cold hands really quickly#our college building has a/c and my educ classmates are fucking insane. they put the a/c at 16⁰c#LIKE. FREEZING#we're frozen hotdogs within twenty minutes of a class i struggle deeply even with my best jacket on#additionally: think. being with arlecchino in snezhnaya or just winter time in general#your hands freezing (you forgot your gloves) and arle notices#takes your hand in hers#presses a soft kiss to your fingertips#before slipping your hand into the folds of her coat :)) instant warmth!! radiator!! heat!!! comf!!y!!!

And yes, Durge is so narratively appealing to me because all what's going on on a Big Scale is literally Your Personal Fault.
The consequences of your own actions. The evil undead general? You WORKED with him.
The lunatic murderer? She is an annoying little sister who stabbed you.
The tyrant closing black fist over the Baldur's Gate? Your Buddy. You were his FAVORITE.
It's not just some random "evil force takes the wheel and you need to save the world."
I mean, it is, but YOU are the part of this evil force. Everything bad happening around can be easily traced back to you and your evil plan. It's YOUR evil plan (and Gortash's, but you were A TEAM of evildoers, equally into it).
You were SO GODAWFUL the tyrant choking Baldurs Gate sees you and lights up like a candle.
Of course it's narratively pleasing, the entire Dark Urge playthrough is just "and if these are not consequences of my own actions" and it's AMAZING.
#bg3 spoilers#dark urge#durge#dark urge spoilers#also as a durgetash stan i just have to say#returning to your partner and lover and having ZERO memory about either of those things is gold#“sir do I know you?” instant physic damage tyrant dead on the floor#bg3

Currently, I’d say my biggest criticism of the Fallout show (that I hope theyll address in season 2) is the lack of focus on actual wastelanders.
You only really see things from the perspective of sheltered youngsters or the Uber-cynic ghoul. All the actual wastelanders they encounter are basically crazed killers or canon fodder.
I get that’s the point, at least for now: to show that the wasteland is harsh and our cast aren’t quite equipped to handle it. But if they want to tackle these big themes, if they want to actually explain why this world is worth saving from the vault tec baddies, or why the ghoul cowboy should value human life, I think they need to do a little more work next season on the people actually living in this world.
Show a settlement that’s gotten together. Or a family that’s nice to the cast. Or just have someone from the wastes who just waves to them and shoots the breeze. The current presentation of wastelanders makes them seem so cartoonish and inhuman, when there can be so much more nuance to how people behave in that kind of world. I just really hope they try to actually dig into that kind of humanity to wasteland life in season 2
#are yall seeing what I’m saying or am I just being naive like be honest lmao#I’m just thinking of the watelanders in the show and comparing them to like#random NV NPC’s#like yeah there’s raiders and cannibals everywhere#but there’s also just like#weird farmer ladies sweeping the dirt and charging an arm and a leg for her garbage#or a couple kids chasing each other with a ‘toy’ ray gun#or a cowboy playing a guitar under a billboard#like they’re not inherently polite or hospitable but it’s not open instant hostility either#idk just trying to summarize a chunk of the show that bothered me a bit#(the shady sands stuff bothered me too but I’m a big boy I can separate my canons)#fallout#fallout prime#fallout show#Lucy#Maximus#fallout new Vegas#fnv#dizzying

Tbqh it's very nasty to gender Lin and Khelif as male because even if whatever people are saying about them is true they're still women because that's how they were raised AND how they identify. I disagree and also don't really believe there's anything abnormal about them but even if you think they shouldn't compete with women they're still FUCKING WOMEN AND YOU SHOULD USE SHE/HER. Literally the barest minimum of human decency. If either or both of them are intersex and whatever weird checkbox system is being used to determine male or female (I've ranted about that at more length) would have these people say they should've been AMAB.... They're still women. You can't erase an entire lifetime because you don't personally like it.
#iicraft505#politics#olympics#sports#imane khelif#lin yu ting#sorry to rehash this all when when we're celebrating Imane's gold but I'm looking for people to block#which unfortunately requires reading the dumbest fucking takes imaginable 🙃#lucky for me using he/him for either of these athletes is an instant block#so i don't have to read anymore

Have we talked yet about how amc Interview With the Vampire is singlehandedly saving the tv slowburn
#me#interview with the vampire#amc iwtv#media studies major time#iwtv#adaptation studies thoughts#I’m not talking about only in a romantic ‘ship’ context#though they are doing that too#I just mean. this is the only show I can think of#currently being produced#that feels unafraid to take its time telling its story#so many tv shows nowadays#especially book-to-screen adaptations#are glorified miniseries#and/or compressing everything into happening quickly#to feed that instant gratification hunger#which to be fair#is not the fault of the cast/crew of the shows for the most part#they’re either being TOLD to prioritize instant audience gratification from higher-ups concerned with profit#OR they’re LEARNING to prioritize the more ‘exciting’ and ‘marketable’ stuff earlier on#bc they know without its draw they stand barely any chance of getting renewed for long enough to tell the full story#anyway. my media studies degree thought of the day.

Likely unpopular and controversial thoughts have been bouncing around my head as I’ve been trying to sleep.
So foetus Jack brainwashed Kelly and Cas into believing that he was going to be amazing for the world and was going to do great things and that’s why he should live. But what great things did he actually do?
Becoming god doesn’t count because that was something he had done to him rather than be a use of his powers.
#the ‘visions of the future’ he gave them are suspicious as fuck#it’s either manipulation or brainwashing but I lean towards brainwashing#because It’s not just a change of mind after connecting with him it’s almost instant devotion
