pinning to the workshop corkboard: you've heard of winston "i'm cassandra" billions clairvoyance concepts for fun & profit, hear also of winston billions sphinx concepts (you must be This understanding of what he means to proceed)

#not a brand new one but the other day i was like have i ever put that to words & post? then i saw two unrelated sphinxposting reminders #winston billions #the riddlerrr sphinx also like yeah yeah winged lion form. kind of a hassle but optional perhaps still b/c yeah that's fun #did have the thought ''what if his pet cat is also secretly what has the winged lion that kills you form lol''#also the thought that whatever Gate / Boundary / [cannot proceed] happens could be Varied as well as Involuntary #would add to the like episodic type possibilities like oops how do we get past this? what's the issue? even winston may not know #meanwhile like Deliberate Obfuscation would only go so far re: the metaphor here being relevant to winston the autistic person #he Has to be understood; on his terms. you gotta work to & actually figure out what he is conveying to you #i suppose also ''or die'' is an option here lol. nightmare scenario for everyone who'd rather steamroll him forever to be sure; but #[you just Can't proceed] applied less lethally than that still affords plenty of You Have To Understand What He Means possibilities #see also: [rian as basically an oc based mostly on pre production hiatus funny little guy status] translating what he means....#just Not Really A Problem shrugmoji (audhd solidarity (rian 5x05 thru 07 oc continues))#yet would hardly imply taylor is a party who wouldn't also usually understand winston easily & accurately (not like 5x07 does either)#plus then complications like do ppl twist Understanders' arms for cheat codes sometimes. try to posit them as hypotheticals lol #in this world where sometimes a coworker is a sphinx or is; in tandem with his cat? well sometimes they're autistic. nonbinary #genderfluid. wear glasses. just another day at the encouragement to crush coworkers factory #anyway something where if i had a zillion detailed thoughts on this it might be other than a brief nocturnal text post but #see also: who says solving a riddle can't be a conversation / the riddlerrr is also trying to figure it out.#like sure i guess i can give clues & hints but i'm not even sure they're useful / not sure what i'm clueing you in to either #clue....like minotaurs out here (clew like the thread/yarn. like is used to find your way through / out of a labyrinth)#anyway e.g. like oh you can't do [xyz] in whatever thwarted way? how can Figuring Out Smthing W/Winston help? maybe he doesn't know either #maybe his cat has materialized huge & Theoretically lethal to thwart smthing. maybe regular size & just swatting at you. who can say #maybe winston is like hm i see that i can fly or kill you more than usual. who else can say. &c. imagine #meanwhile tfw ''okay i genuinely get what you mean'' doesn't guarantee then like. proceeding w/any basic respect beyond that lol #but already more leverage / more effort in that by far & perhaps that ability to just shut ppl out of plenty of [access / do whatever]#when indeed even that leverage had / effort given is considered Too Much #can only be guaranteed basic respect in the winston billions guaranteed basic respect au
