#❔ {the man who holds all the answers;}

It never even crossed my mind to ship riddler and Barbara before but their interactions on unburied are so good. They genuinely respect each other, have good chemistry, finish each other sentences. And already are in the Barbs and Eddy territory.

They make one hell of a duet, as the Penguin in the latest live-action outing would say. There would be no hint of sarcasm in this case though.

Barbara is crazy enough to work with him, but she's not single-minded like Edward and Bruce are. She is willing to sacrifice the mission to keep her partner safe. And Edward is conscious of his compulsions yet remains focused on the mission to the point of risking his safety for it. They keep each other on their toes and watch each other's back.

Even if it's not all leading up to a romantic relationship, it's still *chef's kiss*.

Could you write more stalker HC's with Edward Nashton ? I hate most fix-it AU's with him, much prefer him as a delusional obsessive incel. Your writing is lovely, no pressure to answer my request immediately. Have a great night

Edward Nashton - General Stalking HCs

I sure can! And tysm! It means a lot! Hope your day is going well so far! And honestly I prefer that as well. What better way to help heal my insecurities then having the most obsessive boyfriend imaginable LOL tw :: violence , stalking , violation of privacy , use of the yandere trope , generally abusive relationships , toxic and delusional mindsets , Edward being Edward

❓ Any and all doubts that exist inside of Edward's head about the validness of his intensity when it comes to his partner are given quick rebuttals. He is simply a man in love, a man who's finally found a hint of purity among the sea of corruption, a man who wishes to cherish the gem he came across. Seeing nothing wrong with his actions, he'll take negative reactions from his love interest especially negatively.

❔ Because of his delusional lack of self awareness, Edward is only prone to hiding in the shadows in the beginning. Whether it be the stalker stereotype of watching you behind corners or sneaking into your home in the later hours of the night, all of those and actions related are quickly discarded in favor of interacting with you directly. First it began with a kind stranger bumping into you at your favorite small store and striking up a conversation with you, then you saw him more often, and soon enough, he was knocking at your door with a bouquet of flowers in his hand. Any signs of you being disturbed at his behavior are met with confusion. Though Edward doesn't know much about romantic relationships as he would have liked, he assumed gift giving was a common way to portray courtship. So, he must ask, what's the issue?

❓ Edward holds a strong belief about the gaining of knowlage, and so the only way to quench his thirst for such is to directly learn about the object of his affections. Whether it be smaller details such as your preferred orientation, what you do on a weekend night or much larger details about what you wish to see in a partner or what medications you take, all knowledge he gains about you is stored in dozens of notebooks, filled to the brim with information so obscure that perhaps even you wouldn't have known it about yourself before reading

❔Along with the notebooks, Edward also has littered among his bookshelves many photo albums, all sorted and detailed. Entire albums may be dedicated to photos specifically of you sleeping, while other less-filled albums may just contain photos of you interacting with him he was somehow able to gather with a small camera

❓ His followers are also alerted of your existence and his interest in you, and are encouraged to gather as many photos of you as they can if they are by chance able to catch a glimpse of you walking the streets of Gotham. Of course, Edward has a hard time containing his jealously at the idea of someone other than him gazing upon your divine body let alone taking photos, but they're his followers, and it's not like he didn't ask them too, so that jealously he will gladly forget about the moment one of them comes to him with a particularly aww-worthy shot of you.

❔ His computer is also a hotspot for you as well, given the amount of files he has dedicated to illegally required recordings of your phone calls, recordings of you sleeping or singing to yourself alone in your room. Edward hates the idea of dirtying the pure love he has for you, but the heat that encompasses his body whenever you make an especially cute noise, by mistake or otherwise, is something he just can't help. He'll have to warn you next time he sees you of the things you're known to do to him. Just in case, right? He would hate to rush things with you and overwhelm you, but at the rate things are going he might not be able to control himself for much longer.

Can you believe they're setting up riddoracle in the latest Bat-verse podcast?

Me neither, but I'm starving and feeding off of literal scraps.

Please tell me more about RiddleOracle!

RiddOracle is the portmanteau I came up with back in 2020. As you may have noticed, it's what I use as a tag for the non-canon ship of Riddler/Edward Nygma and Batgirl/Oracle/Barbara Gordon. And you may have also noticed that I'm the only one who uses it.

There isn't much to say about these two and their canon relationship because they've hardly interacted in any continuity. Though, the last couple of times they did interact, the villainous crush trope was leaned on pretty heavily.

Edward makes a pretty twisted prom proposal to Barbara in DC Super Hero Girls and an even more twisted marriage proposal in Prelude to the Wedding. In both instances, he tests her detective skills and her patience and I find that highly entertaining.

In Batman Unburied they are working together while testing each other, and I find that even more entertaining. And I don't even need Edward to have a villainous crush on Barbara, or a regular crush now that he's making efforts to reform. I just need more of them.
