I've not really been having much fun on this website lately, and I don't have much of an interest in writing Oswald at the moment, so I suppose I should announce a semi-hiatus.

[dappercrime]

This blog is relatively new, but I’ve been in and out of the comic book rpc for almost a decade and I have sooooo many Fandom Stories™️

Like …. Does anyone else remember when the first Suicide Squad movie came out and people were coping so hard, saying things like “this was made for true fans who just want to see their favorite characters on screen.” when people were saying the movie was terrible.

Or whenever the Arrowverse had that big Earth X crossover event, and people had to make PSAs telling other people not to make Nazi AUs for their characters??

I'm going on vacation tomorrow and I'm not even gonna make an attempt to be on, jsyk

⚡️have you been married before?

I think this was for that honesty meme I reblogged forever ago?

"Nah, I just like makin' jokes about having an ex wife to fuck with people. Guess I wouldn't mind gettin' hitched some day, though."

[dappercrime]

Happy pride, y’all

In this house we support gay rights and gay wrongs, amen.

[dappercrime]

"Oh, shaddup, will ya? I don't wanna hear your fuckin' voice right now."

[dappercrime]

Would you destroy something beautiful or innocent to achieve your goals?

Moral Questions for Villains // Still Accepting

"Depends on what it is, ya know? Like, I prob'ly wouldn't hit a 4 year old wit' my car, but I'd damn sure burn a few pretty paintings."

I'M UNFUCKWITTABLE

[dappercrime]

How do you manipulate others to achieve your ends?

Moral Questions for Villains // Still Accepting

"I ain't even gonna front for ya, doll. I'm a really, really fuckin' good liar. Goddamn silver tongue, too. But I make good on my promises, too, the ones that mean somethin' anyway. The right type of person would wanna work for me, no string pullin' necessary."

[dappercrime]

Do you believe in justice, or do you see it as a tool to manipulate others?

Moral Questions for Villains // Still Accepting

"Justice is a fuckin' tease. Ya see it every now and then, just enough to remember its there, but not enough to make ya think anything about it. Kinda like my ex-wife." Oswald pauses to laugh at his own tasteless joke - wenk, wenk, wenk- before continuing. "What I mean is- how often do ya see justice really bein' served? You'll turn on the news now and then, see somethin' about a crooked judge gettin' his own just desserts, but for every guy that gets what's comin' to him, a dozen more are gettin' away scot-free. See, I'm from Gotham, pal. We got cops shakin' people down and gangsters payin' for school clothes. Justice is...it's a pipe dream. Somethin' for guys like me to make our own."

[dappercrime]

How do you justify your actions to yourself and others?

Moral Questions for Villains // Still Accepting

"That's a dumb question, Eddie. It's all money, baby! At the end of the day, everything I've ever done 'wrong' was to make my pockets as fat as I am. Now, the underlying reason might change. Stuff for me, stuff for my ma, whatever. Motivation's still the same. I gotta get rich to take care of whatever I need. And ask for justifying it to anybody else? I really don't care. Fuck 'em. They don't know me, they don't give a shit."

[moral questions] Is mercy a sign of weakness in your eyes?

Moral Questions for Villains // Still Accepting

"Ehhh, it depends on the context and the person, really." Oswald shrugs his shoulders, doing his best to appear noncommittal and disinterested. It's clear from his weighted response that he's given the subject more than a passing thought, though. "If you go givin' every two-bit crook and shady creep a second chance, you're bound to pay for it sooner or later. Likewise, you can only get so far when you're ruthless and unforgiving. People will hate you, you'll burn bridges you really could'a used. Mercy is...It's complicated. You gotta be smart with it. Careful, too."

A list of moral questions to developing a villainous character

Is mercy a sign of weakness in your eyes?

What is your primary motivation or value that drives your actions?

Are there any principles you refuse to compromise on, even in your pursuit of power?

Do you believe lying is justified if it serves your goals?

How do you manipulate others to achieve your ends?

Would you betray an ally to further your plans?

Do you believe in justice, or do you see it as a tool to manipulate others?

Would you sacrifice yourself for a cause or ambition?

Would you destroy something beautiful or innocent to achieve your goals?

If you had to choose between your ambition and the life of someone you care about, what would you do?

Do you feel any responsibility towards society, or do you act solely for your gain?

How do you justify your actions to yourself and others?

Can you forgive someone who has wronged you, or do you seek revenge?

How long do you hold grudges, and what actions might provoke them?

Do you respect any form of authority, or do you see yourself as the ultimate power?

These questions can help you delve into the psyche of your villain.

"First?" Oswald repeats, his thick, distinct accent bending the word until its barely recognizable when devoid of proper context. 'Foist', Eastern Gotham at its finest.

"Whad'ya think I'm gonna do? Shake ya down? Get a little fresh?" Laughter follows his words, marking the questions as purely rhetorical. It's an abating sound, coming from the bottom of the Penguin's round belly and upwards in tone. He projects, or at least attempts to project, the image of a friendly man, a bit of light and warmth on the dark, cold streets of Gotham.

"I just wanted to ask if ya got a light, actually. Dropped my matches in the friggin' gutter, can ya believe?"

cherri coughs up a storm and waves a hand away from the smoke that goes down the wrong part of her windpipe. how ironic it was , blaming the smoke on the reason why she was falling apart. how the gentle hum of her oxygen pack provides a solace in the darkness. but her appearance would do her no justice , she didn't have anything on her , unless this was one of the goons from the city that chased her down , she didn't know what kind of fool would attack a sick girl.

she raises her hands , while the coughing continues , " at l-least lemme put out my light first . " she says , --
