I want to hear more about Zero Year Riddler being kind of a loser, please.

Zero Year Riddler is Actually A Nerdy Dork-Ass and I Have Evidence

aka at max ten pictures from the comic books. I apologize now that I had to get selective with photos and that these photos I took myself because I'm too lazy to scan. Includes hcs based on the canon stuff.

TW: Spoilers for Batman: Zero Year also known as Zero Year - Secret City and Zero Year - Dark City

We are going to be jumping around a little with these pictures. So the most basic/stripped down timeline- Edward sets off a massive plot w/ Doctor Death to first black out the City of Gotham while he prepares the Big Guns. Weather balloons filled with toxins to ensure no one is getting in or out of Gotham. He floods the city. Tells the surviving citizens that if they all want to get out, they have to give him a riddle he cannot solve. If you think that last part sounds very folk-lore or fairy tale like, YOU WOULD BE RIGHT. This period where he's setting up this challenge is the titular Zero Year. He is set up inside the Sphinx display in the Gotham History Museum. Batman stops him. onto the actual discussion.

We are first going to start with his introduction. I've discussed this before in a different post but this is meant to tell you multiple things. He has fifteen degrees he's earned. He makes conspiracy theory string boards. He is a dweeb who wears pocket protectors. The important thing to note story wise is that most of the points in this board are important/have a specific role in the story. He's correct about them. They matter. You might be saying "ok Fox/Belle but how does this say he's a nerdy dork-ass?"

look at him. He's described as being "boastful and annoyingly egotistical, but socially he's an egghead." This is not a man who plays well with others. But he genuinely thinks of himself as someone better than everyone else. What do you get? A smokescreen of theatrics, egotism and showing off to hide how socially inept he is.

Next, and sorry the first picture didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. This is the first meeting of Edward and Bruce Wayne. Of course Edward has already plotted his death. Will try to enact this plot. The page with the snake is a reference to the ancient Egyptian game of Mehen which Edward mentions in passing earlier in the story. Historians currently don't know much about the game other than it's distinctive board- However here it becomes a parallel to Ouroboros. The snake that eats it's own tail. Its known as an alchemy symbol and spiritually represents the unity of all things. Life, Death, Rebirth. In Edward's mind: destruction and rising from ashes aka Gotham in his plans.

The second is post Zero Year, telling the citizens of Gotham his motivations. This is his monologue showing his warped version of the Hero's Journey. The Hero's Journey for those who don't know is a very old archetype on which many fictional stories are all based on (whether they realize it or not.) In it's simplest terms, a hero goes on an adventure. The hero through trauma and hardship, learns a lesson, wins their "boon" and returns home with newfound knowledge that transformed them as a person. Note this sounds kind of similar to the Ouroboros thing, doesn't it?

Edward wants to leave a mark and transform Gotham. Potentially the world. He wants control he never had growing up. He wants all of it.

On the headcanon end... This information combined with his hyperfixation on mythology (mentioned below), this man plays tabletop. Hear me out. God complex. Verbose. Theatrics. Obsession with heroics, the heroes journey and folklore... this man not only plays DnD, he has been a GM countless times. I think he'd play other tabletops as well, but DnD is his bread and butter.

His main race (in traditional) is a gnome because of the intelligence stats. When he does DM/GM, the story is rich and so fucking detailed. He is also mean as hell and will murder all your characters in emotionally devastating ways if you get unlucky. He'll never admit any of this to people he finds cool or too attractive (unless they get to know him first). He has a strong wall up to try and prevent any weakness or vulnerability to show through.

He likes fun facts. Not just about mythology he is the one who spits out statistical data and random fun facts in regular discussion. It's almost compulsive. At another part of the comic where he almost shoots Lucius Fox dead via robot, he states the statistical probability that he was already hit with a bullet, but to reload and shoot again anyways. Then he is in the middle of telling a trivia fact about foxes before Batman comes in to save Lucius.

This feeds into my headcanon that he's neurodivergent. And also was a Jeopardy fanatic as a child. Probably still is. He likes to impress (especially dates) with the knowledge he can pull from seemingly nowhere. Also if you haven't gotten the impression yet, he cannot and will not stop talking. Loves the sound of his own damn voice. You know he's monologued himself to trouble multiple times. Also note how smoothly he's just glossing over his shitty dad/abusive childhood (again.)

Piggybacking on the last point- He has a special interest (read: potentially hyperfixation) on mythology and folklore. On multiple occasions he mentions these stories in passing as an anecdote for the events currently happening around him. Archimedes was a greek mathematician in ancient Sicily. He invented a great many things and would come to be known as one of the leading scientists of classical antiquity. The story Edward references is a rather famous one- Archimedes invented complex pulley systems and was tasked to prove the strength and ingenuity of these pulleys by moving the Syracusia, a luxury cruise ship, in and out of the water.

The second he mentions the story of the Gordian Knot. The tale goes as such: Alexander the Great's time. Whoever could untie the Gordian Knot was said to be destined to rule all of Asia. No one could solve it. The knot was impeccable. It was complex. Alexander the Great showed his great mental genius by doing what no one else had done. He cut the knot. There's more to it but that's the gist. That's the why of why Edward looks to this story and remembers it.

Everything about The Riddler of Zero Year is about proving his intelligence. Creating a name and a culture enveloped with smarts. If we didn't have the lore associated with Egyptian mythology as well, I'd say ancient Greece is his topic of choice but I think he likes all of it. That said, this man likes historical movies, historical texts, museums. If you take him to a museum or any kind of zoo or aquarium, he's going to talk your ear off on what he already knows for at least several hours. Are you impressed? Please be impressed. Tell him how smart he is and praise him like your favorite house cat.

The final pictures with actual analysis. These might seem silly or a rather insignificant detail to zoom in on.

This is him setting off the triggers to flood the city. Note the suitcase. He says this out loud to no one but himself. His own joke that only he gets to laugh at. Then he LITERALLY walks away whistling. A lot of this kind of behavior feeds into him knowing and being so smug about how clever he is. He's watching dozens upon dozens of citizens who have no idea what is going to happen to them, running in fear. And he's focused only on how gleeful he is that it's all coming together.

In the second: this is the final trial. Batman saving the city of Gotham and Riddler getting to have his big villain moment. And from the moment he reveals the lightshow of lasers ready to cut down our hero at will- he begins playing with his cane and hat. To the point that Batman is almost panicked for him to stop and just ask the damn questions.

These both run to one point and that's to him, this is all a game. We don't know this in the story yet, but he has an additional failsafe to blow the city up even if Batman wins (he doesn't expect him to, but he always makes sure to be a step ahead in case). He's lighthearted because, despite his curiosity around Batman and being constantly surprised that Batman keeps surviving, he considers this chess game match and set. His own arrogance supersedes the idea that Batman could be a genuine hero willing to take all the risk to save these people.

Riddler says to "get smart or die." Edward does not expect someone to do just that and more. For these the behaviors are more dorky vs the actual analysis but you get the point.

Bonus: we get the full picture that he constantly has a crown image above his screen in Gotham Square during Zero Year. Sir, Why Are You Like This? A lot of this comes down to: please give him attention he is so desperate for attention and probably physical affection. He's starving for it.

If you actually read through all of this, I'm love you and I hope you're having a fantastic day. Thank you for taking the time to listen to my rambling.

[tsuki-sennin]

Tsuki plays NichiAsa catchup! Part Two! Three whole-ass episodes of PreCure! I'm uh... gonna have to truncate a few things, but that's okay! The important thing here is I'm getting myself back up to speed. And it might be extra long anyways, who knows~!

Tsubasa and Ageha get their finisher, and like... two episodes worth of soul-searching. That's the impression I'm getting.

Spoilers, I guess...

-Holy shit, that's so much breakfast

-Ageha, what the fuck, how can we afford to eat like that-

-You don't know what Tsubasa eats! He could need specific kinds of fruit like a waxwing, grain like a sparrow, snakes like a secretary bird! Hell, he could be a cannibal for all you know!

-Oh

-Well, that's two out of four, at least.

-Off to school with ye, girls not focused on this episode.

-I see Elle does not fear the vacuum.

-Running into the man's room right in front of him, you are so cruel Ageha-neesan.

-Pimped out crib.

-Oni Pants

-Borb Form

-What the fuck, that was like two seconds how-

-Come now Ageha, a bird's gotta bathe in a body of water!

-Tsubasa looks like someone put him in the drier on a towel setting.

-"Decompress, Tsubasa! I need to see the feathering!"

-S-Rank Victory Babysat.

-Sora's very happy to smell like Premium Bandai prices.

-Pretty Holic~!

-The boy sleps

-Staying up late into the night with your latest masterpiece...

-I can't believe she transformed once and then died the next episode. This is some Takahashi shit right there.

-"Don't Hehe! me, woman!"

-Tsubasa-mandated nap.

-"Well okay~! Time for you to go through the wringer~!"

-Well yeah Battamonda, they do tend to come in groups.

-In fairness, this idea is sound in theory.

-"It's time for you to paint~!"

-Tsubasa takes his craft seriously.

-Fittingly enough I relate Ageha a lot more to Tsubasa's dad.

-Ne! Ne?

-Tulip~!

-I suppose it's only fitting that a babby contributes to the artistic achievement of the babysitter's club.

-Hirogaru Yuki!

-Hirogaru Wanderful~!

-...Battamonda was weirdly fast there.

-"No littering! >:("

-Man Shield Cures are cool.

-"Wow Sora, I can't believe we had a fun adventure you can't prove didn't happen off screen~!"

-"It was wild, Mashiro~! Wait until Tsubasa hears about th- BIRD!"

-Battamonda hates babies.

-"NEEEEEE"

-You tell him, Princess!

-Ooooh

-Very nice colors.

-Updraft Shining!

-OHHHH PAINT PALLET THAT'S SO CUTE

-Red!

-White!

-"BUTTERFLY WHAT THE HECK-"

-The sounds are fun

-A whole-ass Phoenix.

-BORB GROUND POUND

-"Mirror Pad! ...I guess!"

-"HAX! I CALL HAX!"

-Age!

-HAPPY

-Good morning, Miyuki.

-Butterfly being part of the ending finally feels correct.

-Mashiron focus, let's goooo

-20 episodes! ...well, 21, but I'm getting there!

-Tea time.

-"Finally, some quiet."

-Horsegirl Yoyo

-No time for any of that, Cinderella time!

-Oh fuck Momotaro again.

-Fairy tale books, books, books, and books!

-...perhaps Miyuki should've waited a little, I think we're a little close to Marchenland.

-Shopping~!

-"Didn't I just scold you last episode about working yourself too hard?"

-"Whatever, Mom~!"

-NATSUMI-

-Sorry.

-That name's a bit of a fight or flight for me now

-Wait, Natsumi... Pretty Holic... oh, that's a Tropical Rouge reference

-Cute

-Mashi-ron Privileges

-MERMAIDS

-THIS IS TROPICAL ROUGE

-Time to write a story~!

-Lots and lots of

-...MOVED BY BREAD

-Sora, you are truly someone special.

-Elle wishes to become sand. She cares not for how coarse, rough, and irritating it may be.

-...I deadass thought that farshot of Sora was her making a lenny face.

-Oh okay, and this one of Mashiro gives me big Osaka energy.

-"Too big, too Momotaro!"

-"My artistic genius has left me and took the kids."

-"It's okay Mashiro! You're still based, you're still cool!"

-Uh oh, here comes trouble.

-Sharingan is Caringan.

-I mean it seems like this little guy doesn't mind her not handing over the keys to her kingdom too much.

-Well, that went nowhere~!

-Urashima Taro!

-"INSPIRATION STRIKES!"

-Go Mashiron, shuffle rapidly home!

-Finally hitting your stride is the most satisfying thing ever.

-Tea Time

-You know what you must do, Sora.

-"...Okay!"

-Appreciation Jumpscare

-Victory!

-Battamonda, once more!

-"Whoa, you might get hit by a truck and all your disgusting guts might get on your manuscript~!"

-Full Team Transformation!

-...at least, until the next one shows up.

-"Disrespecting the sancity of a traffic light!? Unforgivable!"

-T

-Toki wo tomare?

-"Fuck the fight! Prism's dream is our dream too!"

-...Oh my God, it pauses Battamonda too.

-Orange!

-Shield Mode!

-Oooooooh!

-Mashi-run!

-Big Borb

-"Well, whatever, I still won because I wasted your time, haha, ratio!"

-Lots of really cute faces this episode.

-Holy hell, Natsumi.

-Gentle world...

-May I see the gentle world?

-Aw that's nice

-The entire zoo became friends

-No victory in anything but a valuable experience

-MELODYYYYYYY

-Hibiki what the fuck,

-Vegetables

-Vegetables

-Last episode for today, let's gooooo

-He cleaned the windows and swept the floor and polished up the handle on the big front door~!

-Well you might very well not be Cure Wing forever, son.

-Yeah, growing up sucks hard, lad.

-HE SQUEAKS

-Tea time, once more!

-I think it's okay if you don't have a dream yet. I lived that way for a long time.

-Outing time?

-Vegetables....

-Imagine being a bird and making a bird.

-...wait, what the fuck am I talking about, we make statues all the time.

-Tomat... Corn...

-Peper...

-Compost!

-Ah the Wikipedia rabbit hole.

-Connect and expand!

-Luncc Time

-Raw Vege...

-Dip...

-DEPP SOSS

-Sora, do they not have sauce up there.

-Raiiiiiiiin!

-"The boy's a weathercock!"

-Battamonda's having a Battaponder.

-Man, eating under a gazebo in the rain...

-Peppers are too much for Ageha-san.

-"I don't have granny wisdom! I just learned a lot about weather during my- Oh!"

-Genuinely good message for a kids' show to have.

-Has he been posing there in the rain the whole time

-The Bird! The Bird!! You've officially gone too far this time, Battamonda!

-"Wing's bird... he's too fast!"

-"Oh golly, Sky, I worked real hard on it~"

-White! Blue!

-Freeze Magic

-Damn, this thing's cool.

-Ascending current!

-Shoot the sky!

-Hail~!

-...speaking of which, I'm so mad Hail was nerfed in Scarlet and Violet into "snowstorm", that's some weak-ass shit right there.

-Battamonda has resorted to a rampage.

-Beyond the clouds! Tsubasa Yuunagi takes flight!

-Pretty Cure! Titanic Rainbow! Rule of Three!

-"Next time is serious... you get it?"

-Mirror Pad! Help us out!

-Curry time...

-Blossoooooom!

-Good job, Tsubomi.

-Not a lot of cameos left.

-Alright, what's up for us next?

-Oh! Shalala!

-...Ohhhhh, Battamonda's planning something bad.

-Whew... now I'm all caught up! Yippee! Hot time!

-Alright, I'm gonna go eat lunch. All them vegetables made me hungry. Huttah!

Hi Roo, hope your day is great!

Am so happy to see Jimin in the last Run BTS. He looks so happy and carefree, and I realized that it is enough for me. Of course as my bias I want him to be praised more, appreciated more, supported more, shown love more. But looking at him these days (at least for the ones we are shown), he seems to be content.

And as long as he is happy, I will be happy for him too.

He said he gained weight, which I also can see. But I like it! Means he eats well. And he is glowing! Always love our beautiful happy glowing carefree Jimin-ah ❤️

Hi there, Happy Anon,

I agree, Jimin looked very content, relaxed, and healthy in this RUN episode. Earlier in the year I was really worried for him, what with illness, bullshit scandal, and work stress. But the first RUN episode was filmed only a month ago and he was giggly, playful, and open.

With regard to the weight thing... Jimin said on his Vlog (which I am guessing was filmed in the spring) that he gained about 7lbs since he had his wisdom teeth removed and he was shocked to see his face. I think he is one of those people who gains weight in his cheeks first. His body is still on the lower side of the BMI scale even now. I have never once understood the antis who call Jimin "pigman" because he has never, ever been overweight.

Now I'll level with you here on a personal note: I'm in recovery from a binge-eating disorder... and I was borderline bulimic back when I was a teenager and involved in really intense professional ballet training, some 30 odd years ago. The world of professional dancing--just like the world of K-pop, it seems--is just absolutely appalling when it comes to the rules around a performer's weight, and it warps your understanding of what's proper and safe.

Can I say for sure Jimin has an eating disorder? Nope. I notice he trends towards either feast or famine, and he brings up his body weight in a negative light a LOT. But I can't diagnose him as obsessed or disordered. I just think he could use some better self-talk, especially given the standards of his industry.

I don't ever, EVER, want to see Jimin go through this again:

I'm sorry but someone who does such intense choreo and is on the go as much as he is has no business being gaunt. I won't budge on my stance here. I don't give a crap about cultural norms, Jimin deserves to eat three nutritious meals a day, lift weights in addition to doing cardio, and look his natural age. If that "hurts" his idol career, then the industry doesn't deserve him.

Jimin deserves to have fully functioning organs, a natural sleep cycle undisturbed by hunger pangs, and to experience genuine esteem when he looks in the mirror; in fact, everyone deserves it. No one should faint from hunger; no one should receive online death threats from having bread cheeks; no one should use dental pain as a diet strategy. That's fucked up.

Park Jimin is amazing because he's such a chameleon. He can pull off any look. He can be a siren, a student, a sex god, a boy next door, a CEO, a daddy dom, a nerd, a puppy kitty, a demon, a court jester, a mafioso, a mermaid, a boyfriend, a fairy, a prince, a fashionista, a b-boy, a sweetheart, a brat... and he's always mesmerizing while doing it.

Never once has his weight gotten in the way. I hope by now he knows that.

Now, I have to stop procrastinating and hop back on work deadlines. Thank you for the happy distraction.

Yours,

Roo
