#pati rogues

[patisilence]

Ayyyy what are some hcs you have about your universe’s dork squad?

Ah coming straight to my Dms I see. I thought it's gonna be on discord but sure lol. I have few thankfully.

Jervis Tetch

Wanted to be real Hatter when he was a kid, aka wanted to make hats. But his parents said he wouldn't have that much money from it since not many people wear them anymore, so when finding what he could do, he got interested in hypnosis. At first, he thought of being magician but that got him further interested in the human mind. That's how he decided to be neurosciencist in high school.

That was one line I came up for some reason but I like the idea that he doesn't remember his parents. It might be just a delusion thing, where when he gets further into it he forgets people.

He got into drugs because it helped with his stress. I'm not sure what exactly he has but when stressed he starts cutting himself out of reality, which makes him get delusions.

Has sweet tooth.

Has hare named March.

Edward Nygma

Had abusive father and alcoholic mother.

Changed his name from Nashton to Nygma. He didn't want connections to his family plus he thought it was funny name play.

Worked for GCPD as detective and when Batman showed up he decided he will solve cases faster than him. Got really annoyed with police incompetence and decided show them how they wouldn't be able to take down real villain, even Batman wouldn't be able. That's how he became Riddler.

Is proud of his red hair and green eyes, thinks genetics is only good thing his parents gave him. Hates the fact that Pamela has it too.

Hates Barbie. Just entire concept of himbo/bimbo is annoying to him.

Has parrot named Riddlina.

Jonathan Crane

He was born out of affair which his great-grandmother was devastated by having a bastard in the family. She took him out for adoption, but his mother couldn't take it, so after great grandma (GG for short) refused to take him back, she killed herself. That made GG rethink it and took him back.

They had Tywin Tyrion relationship. Where GG still despited him but he was her blood, so if she was other boys picking on him she made so soon they won't get close again. That didn't stop her from abusing him, wanting him to be perfect Kenee.

She locked him up in closed and made crows attack him, though last one was for serious stuff.

In the end he killed her and refused to go back to that house again.

In the end he changed his surname to Crane after his father, because even though he didn't know him, he gave him less pain then GG.

Become atheist because of religious trauma.

Has green thumb from working on farm.

When GG was sleeping he read book under his cover with flashlight.

Like candy corns.

Has crow named Poe.

Was interested in goth aesthetic as teen but GG said it satanic clothes so he never dressed in that and now he feels he's too old for this.

@batmanrogues-scenarios

Look- They have a point.

Sorry, Not Sorry; But

if I don't believe that villains like Scarecrow and Riddler end up in hide outs with little old ex-con grandmas living next door then I will explode.

And if the Grandmas don't regularly break into their lairs to feed them, then they will starve to death.

And both Eddie and Jonathan let these sweet retired con ladies pull them away from their schemes at gun point to eat the baked mac and cheese while it's still hot because they are not stupid; and the free food is better than anything they'd be able to get anywhere else.

And while they start on the plate of cookies after dinner, the Granny of the street will tell them tales of the crime sprees they went on after killing their shitty step-father or alcoholic husband.

All of the grannies are in a knitting club together and keep each other up to date on their little grand-villains.

[riddle-me-ri]

He has a crush on another villain henchwoman. She is arguing with her boss in the next room and he hears a slap sound. When he goes to find out what happened Y/N is touching her red cheek looking shocked. 

For Riddler BTAS, ZY, YJ, Arkhamverse

A/N: protective Eddie, protective Eddie, protective Eddie. I’m so here for it. Also for these scenarios I’m coming up with a villain of my own, and it’s all the same bad guy, and he’ll just be referred to as “boss” via the reader, cause I can’t come up with an original villain name nor do I wanna use some of the other rogues cause I don’t want anyone to think I’m implying anything about that rogue (albeit I know none of them are opposed to hurting anyone, but no one they cared about or that was close…well to an extent..I’m just gonna drop it rip)

Also, so sorry uhh this scenarios slightly deviate from your set-up Pati, I just didn’t want it to get too repetitive lol but the idea and the reactions are still there 

Trigger Warnings: strong language, abuse, and violence. If this sorta scenario is triggering, please disregard!

Riddlers x F!Reader - You Shouldn’t Have Done That

Arkhamverse Riddler: 

The loud slap from behind the door made his blood run icicle cold. 

In his mind, all the times he’d been slapped, punched, choked, and beaten by Batman played back in rapid succession. He will never admit how much those assault hurt him or how much the trauma genuinely effected his psyche. As much as he’d like the idea of someone holding his face or caressing him, he knew he’d likely flinch away in fear of being struck again. 

Now, that, that is probably what you are experiencing. He refused to have that mental and physical damage happen to you too.

Edward twisted the door knob until it was about to be yanked off the hinges. Until he quickly recovered and began picking the lock. 

He could hear you start crying softly from the thin door, but he had to remain focused. 

The door slammed open. You were on the ground, your back leaning against your boss’ desk. Whimpering, curling into yourself in the fetal position. Your boss looming over you with some proud smirk on his face. 

“See? This is what happens…WHEN YOU TALK BACK TO ME!” 

When Ed finally took in the scene before him, all he saw was red. “You won’t DARE want to find out what happens NEXT IF you HIT HER AGAIN!” 

Your boss jumped and spun around to the direction of the voice. 

“R-R-Riddler…what the hell are you-”

“That’s Mr. Riddler to you! Back away from her IMMEDIATELY! I promise you will regret what happens if you disobey!” 

“What? Her?” Your boss started chuckling. “C’mon, she ain’t worth–”

“Just goes to show how imbecilic your working cranium ACTUALLY is, and just how little you truly know…if not nothing. GET OUT!” 

Your boss was fairly new to the underworld, slowly trying to climb the ranks higher and higher. He had yet to come across any of Batman’s iconic Rogues Gallery. He never planned on it. Plus no one wanted to be part of Riddler’s games if they could avoid it. Your boss ran past Ed and out of the office, but not before Edward planted a tracker on your boss’ coattails.

The lump in his throat got bigger, his heart beat faster, and his cheeks reddened when you gave him a soft thankful kiss for the rescue. 

Capullo/Zero Year Riddler:

You were a sniveling mess. You kept trying to dry up your tears that were still falling. As you rubbed your nose along your sleeve, there was a slight sting to your cheek. 

Your boss was an asshole but you would never have thought…you didn’t even do anything wrong. You didn’t even “talk back.” You were just asking a question. 

As you made your way out of the building, officially putting an end to this shit day. You were taken aback by a man wearing a gratuitous amount of green. 

“Hellooo..” Edward was leaning against the side of his car, wiggling his fingers at you. 

Oh, shit. You forgot you were going on a date with him after work. 

Ed stood up from his car and walked toward but could tell something was off. 

“Hey, what’s the matter–I haven’t even said any–”

“Don’t!” You cut him off, “please, just don’t not today..”

“I’m sorry…I-I we’ll have to make a rain check..”

You tried to walk past him and catch a cab, but he pulled you back. 

“Ed! Please…”

You looked up at him and were shocked to see a rather stoic look on his face. He was examining your cheek, no doubt still brightly red with some lingering finger marks on it from the strike. Then bright blazing green eyes stared into your own. 

“I-It’s fine.”

“Who?”

You shook your head. Ed started walking straight towards your building. 

“Wait–Ed! No!” 

“Don’t worry, I’ll be back. Just stay here.” 

You reached your hand out in a feign attempt to stop him, but he was already walking straight into the building. 

A few minutes go by, before you know it a flood of people start screaming and running out of the building. You’re still standing by Ed’s car. Startled and confused in all the hysterics surrounding you.

Something about Riddler…something about gunshots and the boss man…

Edward strolled out behind the crowd, swinging his cane and whistling a happy-go-lucky tune. 

“C’mon honey. Let’s get your face cleaned up and I’ll treat ya to dinner, huh? I may even foot the bill this time.”

BTAS Riddler: 

Edward was anxiously shuffling on the balls of his feet. He’s never felt this way about anyone before, but he wanted to make the proper steps to court you. A good place to start he figured was leave a bouquet of flowers on your desk, with a sweet note attached to it.

However, as he made his way to your office, he rudely bumped shoulders with a taller, scruffier looking man storming out of your office. Ed was annoyed, but tried not to make a scene for your sake, as he opened your door to your office. 

Only to find you in your chair behind your desk. You were weeping, tenderly patting your reddened cheek. You look up at Edward who stood there speechless. Hurriedly, you tried to wipe your tears and fix your uniform. 

“E-Eddie…um..w-what a nice surprise..I um…sorry, sorry. I’m a little out of sorts at the moment.” 

“Y/N…darling, d-did that man who just left..”

“Edward, please!” You jumped from your seat to meet Ed in the middle of your office. “H-He’s my boss…I…I’m okay..”

“No, you’re not! No one has the right to harm you! Whether it’s your boss or the Batman!” Ed declared. He handed you the flowers and began making his way out your office. 

“Eddie, please.” You put a hand to his shoulder which made him stop to look back at you. 

“Please…just…not here…hm? I need you here with me, please?” You sniffled. 

Whatever rage was flaring his green eyes softly simmered as he looked at your soft tired face. His death grip on your door knob slowly dropped. He grabbed the hand that was on his shoulder and brought it up to his lips and kissed the back of it. 

“Of course, darling.”

The next morning at work. 

“Hey, what happened to the boss?” One of your co-workers asked. 

You stopped from getting your daily coffee to eavesdrop. 

“I heard the Riddler put him through the ringer, literally fried the boss man’s brain. He can’t walk, talk, nothin! Reduced to a full grown infant!” 

You couldn’t help but smirk behind your cup at the news. 

Young Justice Riddler: 

Edward was not always one for confrontation, especially when he knew he would be outnumbered and/or outstrengthed. If he could talk or weasel his way out of something he absolutely would. 

However, when he saw you get struck by your boss. Sure he was frozen in place but not nearly as long as he usually was.

Ed never was great at hiding his feelings for you, and this next move solidified that notion. Removing any sort of doubt you may have had left. 

“You shouldn’t have done that!” He threatened your boss. 

“Oh, yeah? And what’re you gonna do about it, sonny?” Your boss asked, condescendingly, looking between you and Ed. “Bitch deserved it.” 

“No she didn’t!” Ed snarled. “But you deserve this.” 

“Eddie?” You asked softly as you scooted over to the side of the room he was on. 

He pulled out a small device that looked like a small remote control from his jacket pocket. Before your boss had a chance to let out another smart quip, thousands of volts of electricity left the small remote control and landed on various parts of your boss’ body. Especially his face and head. 

Edward held the button down, sending more and more volts to your boss’ nervous system. 

“Eddie!” You shouted.

You saying his name broke him out of his reverie and he released the trigger. Your boss plopped to the floor like a dead weight. Every now and then he was twitching. 

“A-Are you okay?” Ed got down on your level on the floor and looked over your wounded cheek. 

You took his hand in yours and smiled softly at him. “I-I’ll be okay, especially with you around. Thank you.” You leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek. 

Now there were two unconscious bodies on the floor.

[finniestoncrane]

Could you reccomend some similar accounts like yours, that do bat villains x reader smut? Only if you have time to no worries if not :)

yes i can and i would freaking LOVE TO!!! 💚

so i could have gone crazy and included a lot of people, but i tried to stick to similar accounts (style/content/rogues/frequency) as requested otherwise this would have been a massive list BUT while that means that some people were left out, all of the fics and writers i love are in my fic rec tag so please check there too for people who are danonation writers or only ocassional posters!! 💚

and i am by no means saying these people write like me, they're all better and it's likely embarrassing for them to be associated with me lmao

@riddle-me-ri so obviously, first of all, my sweet bestie ri. in contrary to popular belief we are not the same person lmao! writes for a mix of rogues, mostly riddler, hatter and penguin and does headcanons/long fics/short fics and we have very similar interests so there's a delicious overlap in the topics of our fics >:) @mischievous-marchie marchie writes for hatter mostly, but they share a love of other rogues too! they write headcanons sometimes but mostly sweet fics, and we share a lot of similar tastes too, especially when it comes to sweet jervis and zsasz

@pompous-puffed-up-penguin emi has a direct line to my fuckin clit. writes for a variety of rogues supremely well. mostly longer fics, but my god it's like she climbs into my head and scoops the filth out

@acapelladitty frequent poster, committed to the filth. good variety of all the rogues and a bit of a fandom staple. i'm just assuming you're already following ditty so you know what you're in for lmao

@quandaryqueen abby writes for a variety of rogues, some of the less loved ones too which is refreshing!! they're writing hits the spot, and they tend to focus on longer fics!

@cactusmisslittle so far, i have gotten around to reading two of cactus' fics and i liked them so much i am just straight up including them here. very good writing, shared love of pegging some bad boys

@sweetlikehoneystingslikeabee i have so many of belle's fics saved to read, it is my resolution for the month to get through some. they write for a variety of rogues, including my beloved arkham!eddie and i am excited to get into their stuff

@like-rain-or-confetti so many rogues! headcanons/long fics it's really a variety with vannie! there's a nice consistency with their version of the rogues too so you can get super comfortable with them

@batmanrogues-scenarios a whole load of rogues to choose from. mostly headcanons, but i think pati has been here for long enough to also be a fandom staple so you're probably familiar with her stuff too!

[jayeltontoro]

I found this inscribed on a grave,

'O genus allonitum gelidae formidine mortis Si vitae integri, sceleris purique fuistis Quid Styga? Quid tenebras? quid nomina vana timaetis? Corpora, sevie rogus flammia, scu tabe vetustas Abstulaeit; mala pofse pati non ulla pultetis, Morte carent animae'

My latin is uuhh... limited... but, enough for this to bite.

Translating is not straightforward, ever, but I want to share the fierceness and beauty of it , so ... poetically :

O people, stunned by the icy fear of death, if pure in life, clean of sin, What hell? what darkness? Why fear these hollow names? The body shed, consumed in the pyre, decayed with time, can no more suffer evil, in death the soul is freed

[anx13ty-astr0naut]

I check on your batmanheroes-scenarios slot actually, I just don't wanna flood it <:3

I just wanted to take a moment to send ya some love. I ain't got the time, skill, or patience to run 1 ask account let alone multiple & honestly- I think you're doing fuckin' amazing. Keep up the awesome work & have a wonderful day.

You can delete this btw :p

How dare you assume I'll delete praise? It's only thing keeping this shit going.

No but seriously, thank you so much! It slowed down especially on other blog but I'm so happy people still want to read my stuff.

[korydwenlavellan]

Korydwen Lavellan

So apparently @ironbullsmissingeye did a great Inquisitor Fact Sheet so Here I am doing it.

Age: 80, yes she’s old.

Gender: female

Race: Elf

Religion: Atheist

1 cute fact about your Inquisitor: she’s a great storyteller and very good at voice impression, though she couldn’t really show it to the INquisition

A picture or description of your Inquisitor’s favourite location: Skyhold’s crypt. There an energy in that cave that feels soothing. She usually goes there and watch the valley through the hole while Dagna and the blacksmith banter in the background.

Who your Inquisitor romanced/would like to romance(can be a picture or description): Solas. She immediately felt that he was older than he appeared (though she never imagined HOW OLD AS BALLS he actually is) and his views on the Fade were a breath of fresh air that was wonderfully fascinating and distracting from the chaos around her. He was also the only one not bothering her constantly about being a somehow godlike figure that she should embrace. On the contrary, it was helping keeping her sanity that he was supporting her in not acting all mighty and “I totally am the Herald of Andraste”. She regularly went on rants to him about people worshipping her after long days. 

Something creative of your Inquisitor(Fic, Art, picture, or another fact):

Info about your Inquisitor’s childhood(was it happy/sad?):

Her childhood was mostly happy and uneventful, although she had some struggles when she realized that her not believing in any gods wasn’t a very widespread attitude. She learned to hold her tongue and to navigate the constant well-meaning pushes from the people around her to make her “believe”. 

When time came for her to choose a Vallaslin, the only one that she could make sense of was Falon’Din’s. Not because she worshipped him but because she was never truly afraid of what would happen after death. Around that time, she became the Keeper’s second of her clan. She also married and had twins, one boy and one girl. Unfortunately her husband died during a bandits attack. She found love again a few years later when the Lavellan clan met another Dalish one during one of their travel. Her lover was a beautiful, although a bit too religious and superstitious huntress. They couldn’t always be together but they had a beautiful and long story. She passed away at the beginning of the 5th Blight.

1 random fact about your Inquisitor: She’s twice grandmother.

Your Inquisitors usual companions: Cassandra, Varric, Cole, Solas

Are they a rogue, mage or warrior? What’s their class?: Mage, Knight-enchanter

Who did your Inquisitor chose to rule Orlais?: Celene and Briala

Who did the leave in the Fade and why? Alistair stayed behind, after learning what happened to the Divine, she had no more hope for the Grey Wardens and Alistair didn’t have anyone else left on Thedas unlike Hawke who had Fenris and Varric.

Favourite advisor?: She immediately took a liking into Josephine and how adorable and avoiding of violence as much as possible she is. She became close to a niece to her.

1 happy fact about your Inquisitor?: She is feeling extremely relieved to have dissolved the Inquisition. She knits to deal with stress and she’s a very fast knitter. She made scarves to her entire paty and she was touched to realize that in his haste to leave, Solas did took the one she made for him.

Did they save The Chargers?: Yes; she couldn’t sacrifice them so coldly, and she had hopes the Qunari could hold their ground..

Do they use a mount? If yes, which one?: ALVAR WAR NUG

Did they chose the Mages or Templars?: Mages, she didn’t see how the templar could be more helpful to close a breach into the Fade than mages, plus templar always gave her the creeps..

Did the disband the Inquisition or not?: Yes. She actually wanted to disband it as soon as she closed the very last breach. Being the leade of a small group is one thing, leading a political army is another. Plus having to be on her toes constantly because of spies made her skin crawl. And using assets that Solas knew all about seemed to be counterproductive to her. But her primary reason was that she wanted to stopped to be worshipped and to get back some control of her life.

1 sad fact about your Inquisitor?: Discovering, too late, that her grandchildren joined Fen’Harel’s troops after their mother (her daughter) died in labor, and were killed. They were barely out of their teenage years and it devastated her. It also furthered the divide between her and her son who never really like that she wasn’t a very conventional mother.

Favourite Dragon?: Mythal’s

Opinion of the Qun?: She listenes to Bull talk about it but most of it makes something recoil in horror inside her. The terrifying imperialistic use of it doesn’t help its cause. She finds it extremely limiting people’s potential.

Opinion of the Dalish?: She always have been thankful to be born in the Lavellan clan as it was one of the most open toward the rest of the world of the clan she could meet. She doesn’t hate them but sometimes, they’re inability to question anything or to try to look deeper into their own culture tires her and frustrates her. She does have some Dalish pride, as in it’s the culture she has been raised in and she loves some aspects of it, but she always was fascinated by all the other cultures her clan encountered and one of her dream was to be able to walk through those without fear and with only wonder. Meeting the Alvar was one of the best moment in her life.

Opinion of The Chantry?: Deep, deep, deep annoyance and exasperation and frustration and controled wrath against it.

1 headcanon for your Inquisitor: The Spirit that Solas sees attached to her is actually a Spirit of Life. And the Anchor rejunevated her body which made her wrinkles disappear through time (which deeply disturbs her)

What did they think of Inquisitor Ameridan?: Deeply saddened by his tragedy and how his lover preferred to die with how heartbroken she was. She was also horrified by the idea of Ameridan being stuck for 800 years and it was a sort of relief that he didn’t seem to realize how long has passed. It did made her more at peace with the nasty things people were saying about her. All in all, it made her accept that history books will most likely be telling a very twisted story about her (if any, that’s why she asked Varric to write it) and that she might very much become hated and reviled in century to come. It made her recenter her mind into the present and not what people were and will be saying about her.

Clean White Research

I really like this photo.This is Vogue Australia’s September 2019 cover which was captured by Mario Sorrenti. This image and accompaying images were all shot in a studio enviroment, with styling done by Shay Ashual and Pati Dubroff. In this specific image, she is wearing a prada dress and top. The goal of the shoot was to show a varitety of looks for the new fall season. The hand placement makes the photo a lot more interesting and leads the eye to the subject.I think Sorrenti has posed Margot in this way in order to create depth in the image and add visual interest. I'd maybe prefer the hands being more in focus, by making the aperture smaller you could achieve this.

This portrait of Dominic Harrison, a.k.a YUNGBLUD was shot by Brian Jamie, with styling by Charlie Ward. The series was published in Rogue Magazine in August 2019. The series was shot in a studio enviroment and succesfully captures Dom’s strong personality with the way Brian poses Dom. I personally don't usually like side profile or closed eye portraiture, but this image really stands out to me. There's a lot of emotion and the pose is interesting which is two big things I strive for in portraiture.The goal of the shoot was to, again, capture Dom’s outragous personality, but also to show off his alternitive fashion sense. The only thing that could make this image better, in my opinion, would be to remove the motif on his top, as I feel this is distracting to the image. Although I understand the brand of the top may have payed Rogue Magazine to advertise the top, so in that case it is an integral part to the image.  

This portrait is by a british photographer who goes simply by Platon. This is a shot of Jim Carrey and is another interesting pose to me. Platon uses a film camera for his work and it's taken with a wide angle lens in order to achieve the style of the image.The aperture could be smaller but I think this image works fine without the finger being in focus. There's also some movement in the jacket which is something I'm also trying to put in my portraiture.

Another example of movement! This image of Jacques Naude was shot by  Richard Pier Petit in order to advertise Dior Homme’s Spring Collection in Fashionisto Print, Issue 1. Jacques was styled by James M. Rosenthal, WilhelminaI, with Hair by Andy Starkweather and makeup by Ryan McKnight. I think adding movement into portraiture makes it so much more interesting. The pose shows off the outfit in an intriguing way and creates visual interest through movement. The model’s facial expression is striking, and adds a bit of drama to the portrait.

[batmanrogues-scenarios]

Good day, Pati. Can I request any rogues reacting on their S/O being killed, only to resurrect and act like nothing happened? And when rogues ask how they did it, S/O says: "Simply. I kicked devil in the balls and ran away".

Phht-

Arkamverse!

Anarky

Gets depressed after they die

Thinks that maybe it was his fault

When he sees them again just walking into his hideout he is having heart attack

Thinks he got hit with a toxin or something

Can't believe it until he touches them and just goes for the hug, asking how

Doesn't like the anserw

"Don't joke around, I was scared!"

Would never believe it but doesn't matter, they're here

Harley Quinn

Had a breakdown after their death

Joker had a migraine because of how much she just moaned about it so when he saw S/O just walking down the street he grabbed them and just throw them to her side

She immediately jumped at them, kissing and hugging

When she learned how they came back she just went "That's my honey!"

Thanks, Joker for bringing them back

Joker

Was annoyed when they died and take out frustration on his henchman

Then they just showed and he was very pleased

Did not expected their anserw

"It that easy?! Then I am never going to die!"

Loves telling this story

Scarecrow

He had a hard time but didn't let it show

Just spends most of the time in lab but no one notices

When they come back he is stunned

Goes touching their cheek to make sure they're here, asking how

Aaannd now the moment is gone, he just lowers his head with a sigh

He gets used to it with them

What's important is that they're here

[riddle-me-ri]

For the directors cut game, I would like to choose the one where Riddler flirts with the Penguin secretary.

Ah, yes, that one. This one is kind of a doozy so here's a read more tag

Here’s a link to the story in question

Honestly, it just started as a tag. I reblogged a piece of art by @curleddoobles  and was like I could write something from it because it was just so vivid and animated, I could hear the dialogue and I felt the tone of the piece and was like this would be a super fun and cute scenario just Ed being an atrocious flirt with no comprehension of personal space or how furniture works.

And then Pati, you requested that I should.

So I felt pretty obligated to write it even though I never really had any intention too because I didn't wanna bother the artist nor did I wanna just take their concept of the whole Riddler x Rogue!Receptionist.

I put it off for a hot minute, slowly making some progress whenever the inspiration took me but I didn't wanna post it until I had the artist's permission.

Once I got over that social anxiety of sending the first message I was relieved that I got permission and they even seemed excited to read what I turned out...which added more pressure but mostly good pressure? Like motivating pressure? If that's a thing?

After getting permission to base the fic off the drawing, I went full speed ahead after that. Everything was falling into place; the setting, the banter between Eddie and Reader, the characterization of everybody, and how I was able to wrap it up in an open ended little bow.

There has been some inquiry about a sequel and I've come up with a few possibilities (a couple involving smut) but I don't really know if I have the drive for it. Because I am comfortable with it being a one off and I think it'll probably stay that way, for awhile anyway.

Thanks for asking Pati!

Ask me for a director’s cut and I’ll give you commentary behind any of my stories or headcanons

When it comes to pulling out enviable makeup looks , Selena Gomez has always been ahead of the curve. She's not afraid to take risks, and with the help of her trusted makeup artist, Hung Vanngo , the singer has demonstrated how to pull off every look from disco-ball eyelids to bold lips with ease. For their latest showstopping look, the duo reminded us that exaggerated '60s-inspired cat-eye makeup is a vibe we'd very much like to invite into 2020. The bold cat eye, or wing, as it's referred to more casually, is one of those classic makeup looks that seem easy to execute but actually take a solid amount of skill to execute well. Coincidentally, we've been hot on the trail of the perfect winged liner for some time now. We've long been asking our best makeup artist pals for their tips for achieving the perfect cat eye, so scroll on to see the best products and techniques you'll need to live your best Selena Gomez (by way of Twiggy and Cher) life. In a recent interview with Vogue, Vanngo shared that his process included creating a cat eye and then going back in to soften it a bit. “We extended the liner and smoked it outwards at the ends," he said when asked about the Twiggy-esque look he'd created for Gomez's appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this week. Reading between the lines of this little nugget offers some insight into the type of eyeliner Vanngo used to draw the dramatic look since only certain products, such as gel and powder liners, stay malleable long enough to create any kind of smoking effect. Others, such as liquid eyeliners, dry too quickly to achieve any kind of manipulation after they're placed on the skin. This gel eyeliner is a makeup artist favorite since it offers more control as you create your wing. Celebrity makeup artist Mai Quynh recently told us that this one by Bobbi Brown is one of her favorites for opening the eyes with a dramatic cat eye. It's an added bonus that gel eyeliner products stay tacky for a few moments so you can easily soften the edges of the wing with your finger or a brush, as Vanngo instructs. This clean one from Rituel de Fille is so sultry and perfect for creating both super-sharp lines and more smudged looks alike. This eyeliner by clean-beauty trailblazer RMS is also a fan favorite. Reviewers have said time and again that applying it with a damp eyeliner brush helps to create the bold liner that dreams are made of. This classic makeup artist staple is really a no-brainer for cat eyes. Euphoria makeup artist Doniella Davy agrees and even used this exact formula to create the enviable cat eyes Alexa Demie's character, Maddy Perez, had all season. Stila is a go-to for many eyeliner products, including this gel formula. As mentioned above, the trick for this particular cat eye is the soft, smoked-out ends, which are easy to create with this product. From subtle eyeliner to full-on cat-eye drama, this deep black gel employs Amazonian clay to make sure it stays put all day long. You'll also need the right tools to make your winged eyeliner look its best. This angled brush is perfect for dipping into gels and powders to get those angles just right. If you're not into potted gel eyeliners, then your best bet will definitely be super-soft eye pencils like this one from Victoria Beckham Beauty. It even has a sponge on the end to smoke out your liner to your heart's content. This long-lasting, waterproof liner is a must-have for those with oily eyelids because it locks into place and won't smear at the first sign of moisture. That said, you'll need to move quickly if you want to smudge out the ends of your wing à la Gomez. This iconic eyeliner has been called out by so many makeup artists at this point that it's quickly ascending to holy-grail status. The texture is soft and luxurious, but once it's fully dry, it doesn't budge. For red carpets and TV appearances, that's of paramount importance. Although Vanngo divulged that smoked-out edges were the secret sauce here, it's clear that some serious cleanup has taken place to keep that wing on the straight-and-narrow. Any cat-eye aficionado knows that even the most skilled practitioners need to perform a little triage from time to time. Thankfully, there are tons of expert tips for making it work without ruining the line you've created. Celebrity makeup artist Pati Dubroff, who's famous for gussying up the faces of Margot Robbie, Kate Bosworth, and Laura Dern, told us that her trick for cleaning up rogue eyeliner is micellar water. This French pharmacy staple is internationally beloved for its makeup-removing and full-face-cleansing abilities. Dubroff even sends her clients off with a travel-size bottle of this stuff so they can easily fix any makeup that's moved out of place in a flash. Another beloved micellar water makeup artists just can't get enough of is this one by Koh Gen Do. It's super gentle, oil-free, and can easily erase makeup mistakes with precision when used with a light touch. Here's another well-loved micellar water that will help neaten up any less-than-sharp wings. Qyunh also told us that her trick for changing the direction of any eye makeup is Q-tips. This may seem too basic to be true, but these little tools really are the perfect size and shape to make small edits that don't wipe out your whole look. If you're not in the mood to bust out Q-tips and micellar water to edit the ends of your cat eye, another solid option is to take a small portion of a makeup wipe to get the job done. These ones by Klorane are nice because unlike other wipes that are creating immense landfill waste as we speak, these ones are biodegradable and won't end up as earth-contaminating trash. Vanngo has yet to mention anything in particular about what he added to Gomez's eyelashes for this look, but these close-ups he shared on Instagram put those fluttering babies on full display. Her top lashes appear lengthy and full, while her bottom ones are experty darkened and defined. Quynh couldn't hide her enthusiasm for falsies when we spoke late last year. She said that pairing them with winged eyeliner is a stellar, eye-opening combination. Davy is also into the strip lash look when working with a cat eye situation. She recommends these dramatic wispies by House of Lashes. If you want just a little something extra without having to adhere a full strip to your eyelid, these individual lashes are for you. You can add a few pieces just at your outer corners to exaggerate your feline eye shade even more. If you're not into falsies, have no fear. There are plenty of mascaras available that will just make everyone think you're wearing them, like this super affordable volumizing option from L'Oreal. Just today, I heard Who What Wear co-founder Hillary Kerr spreading the gospel of this iconic Dior mascara in the office. She's quite the discerning consumer, especially where mascara is concerned, so take this rec seriously, people! Speaking of resounding mascara endorsements, Victoria Beckham uses this one by DHC. Enough said. This mascara was literally formulated to mimick the effect of falsies, so it's an excellent option for adding some extra oomf to your eyes without the need for adhesive. I may be a little late to the party, but I finally got my hands on this celebrated mascara this week and it's seriously life-changing. If you want lengthened and defined lashes that look like they've been doused in volumizing spray in just one swipe, then this is the tube for you. This mascara won't do much for you in the volume department, but when it comes to defining your individual lashes and making they stand at attention, it can't be beat. Even after all the work you put in to achieve it, I would seriously encourage you to wash off your fabulous '60s-inspired cat-eye before going to bed. BUT, in the event that you sleep in the look, this killer mascara will still be in place when you wake. Up next, these are going to be the 8 biggest makeup trends in 2020.

Okay, I am ready to give some more comprehensive thoughts on this now.  Doing stuff in this game revolves around the use of an action deck, which starts out consisting of 30 general skills cards, 5 character-specific skill cards for each character playing, and 5-7 curse cards depending on exactly what scenarios you’ve chosen to include.  Resolving an action works as follows.  There will be icons telling you what category the thing you are doing corresponds to, a minimum (and possibly maximum) number of cards you are allowed to flip from the action deck, and the number of successes required, as well instructions for the consequences of success or failure.  (Failure often leads to negative statuses, such as injured, tired, etc.  The character below is frightened.  These can have additional consequences later.)  Suppose I need to do something that has the following iconography: [melee combat]2+ cards, 4 successes.  I decide to flip 4 cards from the action deck (above red line).

Stars are successes.  Arranging these cards gives me 3 successes (2 full stars, and two matching half-stars, with two half-stars going to waste).  This would be failure.  My hand (above purple line) had a card that would let me draw less cards, but none that add successes.  The un-crafted shovel is useless.  My inventory (between green lines), however, includes war paint, which has the melee icon - I can expend one pip to count the “7″ as an extra success, which gets me to four.  (If the task had been stealth rather than melee, the war paint would also add an additional success.)

Now, why didn’t I just draw tons of cards, since this task did not have a maximum?  Well, if you draw a curse card as you go through the deck the first time, nothing happens (other than that they have zero stars on them).  But once you have gone through the deck once, you reshuffle the discard pile, and if you ever draw a curse card after that - insta-death.

This is a survival game.  Hunting or trapping food will often say something like “return 3 random cards from the discard pile to the draw deck and re-shuffle (6 cards if there is a fire at your location)”, which is how you avoid rapidly expiring.  Just moving from card to card is a (zero successes required) action that requires flipping one or more cards from the action deck.

Every time you resolve a task, you may choose 1 card from the flop to add to your hand before discarding the rest (but at the end of your turn, there are hand and inventory limits depending on player count.

Quests, even if you’ve only selected one curse to be afflicted with, can take many hours to resolve.  The good news is that there is an elegant save system, so that you can put the game away without losing your location on the continent, inventory, etc. 

The bad news, which might not bother others so much, but is a fairly big flaw in my eyes, is that the game is a rogue-like.  You can stop and save anywhere while still alive, but there are no way-points should you die.  Regardless of whether you are one hour into the game or six, you start over from the beginning.  That means you either grind your way through a bunch of encounters and puzzles you already know (hopefully with more efficiency) immediately, or more likely you wait a few days before trying again, possibly forgetting some of what you learned.  This can get frustrating, because the game is not easy.

This Classic Edition, which has 3 curses (1 less than the basic Kickstarter edition did), still estimates 40 hours of game play.  I think that might be an underestimate, given that I’ve probably already put in 8+ hours and only got about 2/3 of the way to where I think the 1st curse has to be resolved.  That is a lot of grinding. 

On the plus side, there are lots of clever details.  If you spot a hidden number on a terrain card, you replace it with the correspondingly-numbered card, which will have some additional feature on it.  There are various puzzles to be worked out.  If you are a patient person for grinding, the rest of the game has a fair amount to recommend it.

Started the first curse in The 7th Continent. Got a fire going, and crafted a torch and a blowpipe. Despite the latter, my first attempt at hunting for food ended in me getting mauled by a strange cephalopod. I blame @collapsedsquid .

Mildly spoilery images below the cut, but I’m not very far in, so I wouldn’t worry about it too much.
