This post is an apology to Tom King.

I recently re-read Riddler: One Bad Day and it's actually a masterpiece!

There's something truly fantastical about how Riddler's intelect is portrayed almost as a mystical power! The scene where Edward mind tricks all the cops into killing each other by laying on the floor and laughing like a maniac is pure art and I'm truly sorry for previously calling it "stupidly edgy", "the moment the comic lost all chance of salvation", "the final proof male power fantasies are a diservice to the entertaiment industry" and "soo dark is actually hilarious".

I also need to compliment the ambiguousness of if Riddler became who he is because of the abuse he endure or if his dad was abusive BECAUSE Edward was always bad is fantastically creepy and necessary. If your narrative does not have victim blaming as one of the possibilities in your moral debate about the inexistence of redemption and the need for violent cops ... I mean heros who kill the villains because evil will never stop nor change what's even the point?

I'm also sorry for my mean coments over Riddler reveling that he was part of Joker's attack against Barbara Gordon. It is actually a really nice nod to the original, specially in the way it reinforces Barbara's place as an useless plot point without agency that only serves to motivate her father. After all why would anyone ever want Babs to actually matter in an event that changed her life forever? Gordon is pissed. That's what matters.

The RIDDLER hating RIDDLES and using them to protect the world from himself by constantly re-living his trauma because actually the trauma was what stopped him from murdering for a long time and does that mean the story is retconing itself to show he was born evil? Is the BEST plot twist. If all future versions of Edward don't hate his gimmick and his own identity and think dorky people who tell riddles are actually stupid and puzzles are dumb than the comic industry will have to live in shame.

Back to talking about the portral of woman! I'm soo happy that the comic took away the voice from Edward's mother presenting her only by what her job as a sex worker represented to the people around her! Such a feminist take! And the snapy Riddler was justified in being mad that his henchmen sleept with his mother because being a sex worker is dirty actually. Gorgeus.

This comic also has the best teacher characther ever. He is so real for ignoring a kid's cry for help, considering their neurodivergent coded anxiety and dificulties are a case of needing to chill and seing all the most obvious sings of abuse ever as "very unchill kid behavior". And the comic is soo right for portraying this man as sympathetic and good and how if Eddie had stoped being a neurodivergent abused kid for a second and just chilled he would have been fine and never became a muderer. It's a life lession. Abused kids should just stop being anxious over the very real possibility of more abuse and neurodivergent people should just chill and everything will be fine. Doing nothing except blaming the crying desperated child for asking help is the right move!

Also Batman should kill. That's just a fact. Jason Tood has been saying it for years now and he is right. All heros should kill actually. Every comic should be exactaly like a Punisher run writen by an alt-right. Yes even the non-superhero ones. Yes even the manga. Yes even Donald Duck ones.

I could write pages and pages about how this is the perfect comic - bar the art style - but I think this is already a suficient apology for my previous misleading critics.

My next post will be a long explanation of why Batgirl vs Riddler: Prelude to the Wedding is actualy the best feminist comic ever written and Tim Seeley is actualy the only person allowed to represent woman in media ever.

#april's fool #this is my harmless prank #in brazil april's fool is lies day #the day where lying is a-okay #so I'm lying a lot in this post to represent my roots #riddler #edward nygma #edward tierney #edward nigma #riddler one bad day #one bad day #prelude to the wedding batgirl vs riddler

How Christians can be easily fooled by conspiracy theories

INTRODUCTION

“The Coronavirus is not just making people sick, it’s also making people stupid”

That was the opening line from the Malaysian comedian Ronny Chieng, starting his episode about the Coronavirus pandemic and its effects on our everyday life.

And even if the sentence sounds harsh and judgemental, I have unfortunately to say, that he is right.

With the threat of the pandemics and the quarantine measures limiting our movements, most people live at home and a in a constant psychosis, sharing all possible conspiracy theories on the social media.

And unfortunately, Christians are not immune to conspiracy theories, actually gullibility is very much present in some denominations.

CHRISTIANITY AND GULLIBILITY

But did I say that we Christian are easily gullible? Off course no, but I need to say that most of them are, especially in these days.

This happens because most of them, especially Fundamentalists evangelicals, read the Bible in a sort of “extreme way”, without understanding and throwing away all the things they learned.

And this goes back to my last year blog where I wrote about the Abecedarians and the Chick Tracts and their common thread of blind faith.

One big example is the misuse of the Book Of Revelation in two different wrong ways:

1. CORONAVIRUS: PUNISHMENT FROM GOD ?

This is the first mistake. In some denominations ( or better to say, SECTS ), there’s this idea that the pandemic was sent by God as a punishment against abortion, homosexuality and so on, this also based about the stories on the old testament.

Well I am not a theology expert, but according also to the evangelist Tom Loud if the coronavirus was from God, He surely would be a vengeful bombardier without mercy, a completely different version of Him.

Then comes also three big questions:

If the coronavirus was from God so what about Black Plague, Spanish Fever, SARS or Ebola?

If it’s a punishment against abortion, homosexuality and so on, why didn’t He spare also conservative nations like f.e. Poland, Hungary, Brazil or the “Nation Under God” USA?

What about all the closed churches for the quarantine ? Is it God’s will too?

So before saying that Corona is God’s punishment, try to answer these questions.

2.CORONAVIRUS: END TIMES SIGN

This is also the second mistake, similar to the first but also more dangerous.

As I wrote two years ago in my post about the psycho cults there’s a sort of infuriating emphasis on the end times prophecies, and this emphasis sometimes lead to deviated and distorted reality thoughts , just like conspiracy theories ( like NWO, Mark of the Beast and so on.. ) or, in the worst of the cases, delusions of persecution like this.

The pandemic has highlighted a lot these “end times” stuff, and a lot of opportunists and deranged gurus have taken advantage of their feeble-minded followers. Same situation that happened in the ’80s and ’90s with the Satanic Panic, where con-artist like Bob Larson or Rebecca Brown were hailed as heroes.

USA: BETWEEN THREAT AND QUACKERY

But let’s go to USA, the “Nation Under God”, but especially under president Trump, who not only cut the funds to the WHO, but is going also to fire Anthony Fauci, the virologist who’s making a great job in the fight against the CoViD.

And this is just the peak of Trump’s series of mistakes against the virus, while USA is right now the country with the highest number of contagions and deaths by coronavirus.

And it’s really sad to see how still many evangelicals still say that he’s always right. But after all evangelical christianity in USA has become a circus, where there are “prophets and clowns”

Exactly, PROPHETS AND CLOWNS, like our song says. And some clear examples are:

Shawn Bolz, a self-proclaimed prophets who said in a gathering that “God showed him the end of the virus”, and it was the beginning of March, now we are on 16th of April and the situation is going from bad to worse.

Kenneth Copeland, the prosperity preacher, who tried to stop the virus with a prayer that looked more like a charade.

Rodney Howard-Browne, the head of River Church and well known conspiracy theorist, who got a warrant for violating the quarantine measures. It’s such funny how his followers blabber about “persecution” when he almost put a lot of people at risk hosting a gathering, if we think what happened in France last month.

Jim Bakker, the controversial televangelist who claims silver solution as remedy against coronavirus

QAnon, the conspiracy psycho-sect, who promoted MMS, the pseudo-medicine containing bleach

Last but not least, this guy in sackcloth, wandering and preaching around the empty quarantined American metropolises

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYgc_dIuhYo&ab_channel=TorchofChristMinistries

FINLAND: THE PETRI PAAVOLA CASE

Unfortunately also Finland is not immune neither from coronavirus, nor from conspiracy theorist.

And unfortunately, as I wrote before, Christians are not immune. The most obvious example is Petri Paavola, the anti-catholic liar upon whom I wrote almost two years ago.

At the end of March mister Paavola hold a service for few people because of the quarantine measures, and all the service was a complete concentration of persecution complexes and conspiracy craps.

He said, during his “service”, that coronavirus was created by Bill Gates to create new mass vaccination’s program, I really don’t know if laughing or vomiting in half of such idiocy, buy anyway here’s the parody.

Is Paavola completely deranged or is he just a liar ? Well it could be both of them, but what it’s worse is that he claims to have received a “revelation from God” about all that quackery. And obviously gullible followers believe him easily, like for example the author of this comment

For the non-Finnish speakers the translation is:

“thanks for the clear facts about what the elites do behind us. 5G and Coronavirus wortk together. Don’t take neither vaccine nor 5G”

Yes, because in the middle of this conspiracy psychosis, the 5G is nowadays one of the most popular theme and someone, like the crackhead who commented, believes even that 5G causes coronavirus.

It could sound funny but unfortunately is not, as in England, just weeks ago, some cell towers were set on fire because of this psychosis.

A LIGHT INTO THE DARKNESS

Thank God that into this marasma of darkness there’s always the light.

One example is this great article from ChristianityToday, written by Ed Stetzer, and I absolutely like to quote the first part of this article.

A major crisis provides a fertile field for producing conspiracy theories, and the current global pandemic has created a bumper crop of them.

One of the sad things that I’ve learned over time is how Christians are disproportionately fooled by conspiracy theories. I’ve also said before that when Christians spread lies, they need to repent of those lies. Sharing fake news makes us look foolish and harms our witness.

We saw this in the last election when some of the troll factories focused on conservative, evangelical Christians. This is disappointing. Now we are seeing it again. So how do we respond?

First, we need to speak up and speak out to others— particularly those fooled yet again— and lovingly say, “You need to go to trusted sources.” Your social media news feed is not a trusted source.

But you can find them if you are willing to look. That’s why we created coronavirusandthechurch.com, to provide credible information for churches. But, there are plenty of credible news sources— generally from outlets that do not have a track record of conspiracy peddling.

Second, God has not called us to be easily fooled. Gullibility is not a Christian virtue, and we ought not to act like that. Believing and sharing Covid-19 conspiracies does not honor the Lord.

Yet now, it appears we are dealing with a new flood of conspiracy theories. Take a look at the list on Wikipedia, or just search for yourself using a few keywords.

No one is born “hyper-intelligent” but someone needs to speak out.

N.B: That was written almost one year ago in my blog, now I repost it as the situation seems not to change

Of plays and being played

Good morning guys. By now I'm sure you have all heard about the play picture being taken in Dublin and not Glasgow. For those who didn't know yet well here you go. I heard about it last evening but wanted to see with my own eyes the matching theater. And I did. If you want to look Sis Brazil found the building that matches floors, wall, pillars, door and stairs.

I'm glad it was found. I have wanted to identify the theater, play and day ever since I saw the pic and contrary to what some may believe I don't ship fantasies nor am I interested in them. I'd rather have the truth, whatever that is. Always.

I have so many thoughts though. There are many things I don't understand. I'm gonna try and explain myself as best as I can:

- Someone lied. I trusted the story because it wasn't shared by some anon or unknown person via weird account. And it came with the pic as proof. I had no reason at all to even consider the Dublin detail was fake.

- I want to believe there was some kind of misunderstanding and there wasn't malicious intent but sadly I can't put my hand on the fire for this either. Probably the people I know that are involved in this shit were lied to and fooled themselves too. Why? I don't know.

- First version I heard of the story mentioned London. We were happy with London, having our previous speculated sightings confirmed. Then it was explained London had been just assumed but it was Dublin instead. People asked if it was Dublin and it was said it was (notice my use of passive voice here and in several of my posts from the past couple of weeks, I was always sharing something I had been told and other people had been told).

- No one mentioned Glasgow, not even passing. I checked Dublin theaters and even London ones just in case and no wonder I couldn't find it (two weeks of my life thank you very much). Glasgow made no sense as the story was shared and how it was told.

- Again I understand misunderstandings but there's a long way from London to Dublin to Glasgow. Not only speaking distance wise but neither those cities names sound even remotely alike. So either the source who took the pic lied or the one conveying the message to these other people did.

- I would very much like to know when it was taken. I know tale came to me 6th April and they mentioned a Wednesday. Now I don't know if that detail is as legit as the city or how this fits the airport sightings of Sam.

- I'm bummed not gonna lie. I can admit that while the picture is good cause it's SC being caught out and about together alone it's not as big as it being Dublin.

- Before antis celebrate there's still no Maestro there. In spite of bro hug it would seem S and him can't stand each other because they never hang out.

- I don't understand SC reaction and double of narrative with a story as "harmless" as this one. That's the best part of all the mess. Their shitting their pants.

I'm at work already will post more about it all later.

Magic, truth, fear and authenticity

Magic. It's all around us and it's wonder lies in the eye of the beholder. We must be open to receiving it, in order to see it.

I wrote a post on magic in April and it was all about shifting your perspective and seeing the magic in synchronicity. In these last two months though, I have stayed open to even more fantastical ideas of magic, and have not been disappointed. Some of it is what is considered to be woo-woo stuff, but in aligning myself with people who also look for the magic in the world, I'm discovering that it isn't very woo-woo after all. In fact, it is very real.

I believe there are many reasons that some people don't "see" that magic exists. One being that there are those who are simply not ready for it. Perhaps they have other lessons to learn in this lifetime, or other purposes to fulfill. Another big one is fear. Perhaps it is fear of what their friends and family will say. This is a big one for me, but I'm realizing that I've surrounded myself with so many wonderful people who love me for who I am. Some of the friendships I have developed in recent years, are some of the the deepest I've ever had. We support, encourage and inspire each other to be authentic. To be our true selves. To figure out what makes us happy and to be unafraid to reach for those stars.

I think something else that hinders people is the fear of opening their minds and not receiving. Let me say that if this is your fear, you will receive what you are supposed to, when you are ready to receive it. Three years ago, I wanted to have that connection back with the universe so badly. As a teenager, I had constant signs and synchronicities, but the further I drifted off my path, the more I lost that connection. It took several months for me to reestablish it, but once I did... I was hit with so many synchronicities at once, it seemed unreal!

I also believe there are those who might be afraid because they don't want to know what possibilities really exist. I, myself have never been this type of person, but I feel like I have known many. I believe that the fear is not recognized, and that they might be so rooted in their routines that any change or deviance from that is not welcomed. If this sounds like you, or someone you know, there is nothing wrong with that! We are all unique, and we are all on different journeys. The truth of the matter is, that "the truth" is different for each and every one of us.

This is the biggest reason why I try to stay open-minded. While I do not believe everything I hear, I do believe that there is truth in everything. Whatever the story, there is always some strand of truth. Something inspired the tale. The trick becomes figuring out how much truth there is in the story for you, but the even bigger trick is remembering that others will pull their own version of truth from the same story. While there may be little truth in a particular tale for you, for other's it may be all-encompassing. Again, it all comes back to that concept of perception.

For me, many truths have been coming out, but my favorite one is that my spiritual journey has led me back to my interest in mysticism... something that I was interested in as a child. My mother, who is not a very nice person, dabbled in crystal healing when I was in grade school. After my parents got divorced, she became abusive to me and by summer going into eighth grade, I finally found the courage to tell her I wanted to live with my dad full-time.

Growing up (and still to this day), any time I've gotten too close to the woo-woo stuff, my dad warns me to stay away from the crystals. For many years, I agreed with this notion. I didn't know what set her off. What she got mixed-up in, what made her become "evil".

Pretty early on in my spiritual journey, I've found myself exploring the concept of healing. I became a Reiki practitioner last year which has really helped me tune in to being able to physically feel energy. I feel that I've always been somewhat of an empath as well. I've always had a big heart and feel that I am empathic by nature, but my father always had me consider the feelings of those around me by putting myself in their shoes. I think that, along with living with an abusive mother and learning to read her erratic moods helped bring it out that empathic nature even more.

Throughout my journey I've been drawn to subjects, and things that heal. Reiki, sound healing and being in nature to name a few. I've also found that I have a natural draw towards things relating to Shamanism...an avenue I have not yet explored. What I find particularly fascinating is that I have had this natural draw towards healing, yet I didn't remember that my mother claimed to be a crystal healer until about a year ago.

Last year, after suffering through a 4 month asthma battle, I bought a salt lamp. After four rounds of steroids, I was willing to try anything to keep my allergic asthma as bay. I kept reading about the benefits of Himalayan salt lamps and figured, why not?

I noticed immediately that my calico, Jorga, started sleeping next to the lamp 18 hours a day. She is 14 now, was 13 at the time, and had a previous knee injury that prevented her from jumping any higher than 12-14 inches off the ground. We have pet steps in our house to help her get on the bed and the couch.

Two weeks after bringing the lamp home, I noticed that she started jumping higher. She no longer needed the steps. It was a pretty incredible testimony to the power of this element. There is no way that a cat could be fooled into a placebo effect. Also, I could notice a difference in the energy of our home. Walking into the living room just felt so good.

I started noticing a similar energy in some of the places I frequent and I started realizing that all those places had crystals. Maybe there was something to these rocks after all?

I started talking to the owner of a Float facility about the incredible energy in his place of business. As I had suspected, he gave the credit to his crystals. He gave me the name of his "crystal guy" and sent me home with a gift; a piece of amethyst that he let me intuitively chose. I brought it home and set it next to my salt lamp and stared at it for days.

Weeks went by and I kept thinking about my mother. I was afraid. But what was I afraid of? I'm a smart woman. I have a huge heart. I knew that I wasn't going to suddenly turn into a heartless, abusive bitch. I certainly wasn't afraid of the rocks themselves. So far, the experiences I had with them were positive. After calming my fears of turning into my mother, and realized an even bigger fear. I was starting to find positivity in something that held negativity in my life for so long. And frankly, I was scared of what my dad would think. But holding yourself back from something based on preconceived notions, or how other people might feel is not being authentic to who you are.

One night, I was talking to my husband about my insecurities. We were talking about my mother and who she became. Not to make excuses for her, but she definitely went through some shit in her life. So have I, so have we all. But perhaps she wasn't strong enough to handle things properly. Perhaps her lesson in this life time was something that many of us could never understand. My husband made a very interesting point that night... he posited who she would have been had she not found the crystals.

Granted. Her "snapping" and the crystals came at the same time, but what if she was going through her own journey and the crystals helped soften her blow? Maybe if she didn't have them, (or in an even more abstract thought - "them" meaning "something to believe in" or "a source of connection") she might have been even worse?

After much debating, I decided to give Tom's "crystal guy" a call.

Thus began the journey of collecting crystals. I had read that you don't choose the crystal, the crystal chooses you. Its funny, but becoming so in touch with energy helped me very easily select the few beauties that came home with me that day. People experience the connection in different ways, but for me I can feel the energy in my heart chakra (and recently my solar plexus as well).

Not only do the stones feel good, but that "feel good" energy in my home has amplified even more. And an extra bonus is that they are beautiful to look at. I enjoy not only learning about the metaphysical properties, but also learning about where a specific stone came from.

I currently have a piece from Uruguay and another from Brazil. This makes me feel even more grounded/connected with the Earth knowing that I have these beautiful little pieces of her from places I will probably never get to venture to. Below is a photo of an amazing piece of green flourite from a one-time find in Madagascar and when you hold a light up to it, it glows the most electrifying combination of emerald and lime green.

My hope in sharing this story, is that it will inspire people live a more authentic life. To think about the roots of your fears and to question things. Question your truths.

Have you ever stopped to think about why you believe something? Is it because it's a belief that you were raised on? Is it something that you heard? Is it something that you researched? Is it something that you just deep-down in your soul knew is what is right and true for you?

My journey may be very different from the journey you are on. Our truths may be very different. But that is what is so incredibly beautiful about these lives we get to live. We have the opportunity to learn and experience so much from each other if we just stay open minded enough to be unafraid of experiencing that which might be outside of our norm.

Stay authentic. Stay open-minded. Stay Wonderfull.

@pharoahkittylover completly agrees with me that Mr. Freeze should be a controlling abusive husband or even better an obcessive asshole creating delusions over a girl he never actually knew (New 52 my beloved) and all positive depictions of Victor are not only uncharacteristic but offensive. Fries isn't a complex characther with a tragic backstory he is just more proof people are born bad and can't change and violent cops are necessary actually.

What Happens on April Fool's Day Around The World?

History:

April Fools’ Day (sometimes referred to as All Fools’ Day) is observed the world over. While most countries celebrate it on the first of April, there are some countries that celebrate it on different dates. Though historical evidence is ambiguous, most believe that when the Gregorian calendar was adopted in the late 1500s, the New Year was moved from April 1 to January 1. Those who kept to the old tradition and the old date were termed as fools, hence the association.

Read on to find out how the day of pranks and jokes is celebrated across the globe.

France

In France, the holiday is also known as Poisson d’Avril, which translates to April Fish, and is also celebrated in Italy as Pesce d’Aprile. Historically, schoolchildren will stick an image of a fish on the back of an unsuspecting victim and wait for the transgression to be discovered. So if you do get stuck in a fishy situation, you can always learn from the French and Italian!

Scotland

The people of Scotland celebrate making a fool out of their comrades so much that they’ve extended the holiday into the second day. April 1 was traditionally Hunt the Gowk day, although the name is fading out. Gowk means cuckoo, and sending a mate on a fool’s quest is the name of the game: One should ask someone to deliver a sealed message asking for help, the contents of which instruct the recipient to pass it along and continue the chain. The second day is known as Taily Day, which seems to have spawned the infamous “Kick Me” sign, and numerous posterior jokes. Better watch your back if you’re traveling to Scotland this holiday!

Iran

The 13th day of the Persian New Year is called Sizdah Bedar and usually falls on April 1 or April 2. Pranks have reportedly been played on this holiday since 536 BC, making it perhaps the oldest known joke day. It’s customary to spend the afternoon outside, celebrating the new season and indulging in food, laughter, games, and good-natured jokes. After a picnic, you throw away green vegetables, known as sabzeh, which represent any potential illnesses or bad luck for the coming year.

Spain

In Spain, the day of jokes and prank is celebrated towards the end of the year on December 28 as Holy Innocents’ Day or Childermas. The celebrations are also spread across Latin America. Though it technically is a Christian feast day, the pranking tradition that it’s now known for is strictly a cultural invention. Victims are instructed not to be upset because the jokesters are considered to be innocent.

Portugal

The Sunday and Monday, prior to Lent is when the Portuguese celebrate April Fools’, and they have embraced one prank as their own: throwing flour on someone. Some could say it is better than having a fish stuck behind you.

India

India’s Holi festival is celebrated on March 31st and is a day to play jokes, toss colored dust and wear face and body paint to inaugurate spring. While it is not really a day to celebrate jokes or pranks, the Indian culture embraces happiness in various forms of which jokes and pranks carried out in good spirit is a part of it.

Denmark

The Danish and the Swedish have a day each in two different months to let themselves loose and have some fun. May 1 is Maj-kat (May cat), a joke day, although bother Denmark and Sweden also celebrate April 1 as April Fools’ Day. The Scandinavians definitely know how to bid adieu to a long gloomy winter and welcome brighter spring in good spirits.

Brazil

April Fools’ Day in Brazil is known as o dia das mentiras, literally, the day of lies or dia dos bobos, a day of fools. It is a day for pranks that are playful and spirited. April 1st became popular in Brazil after a satirical publication called A Mentira, dedicated to stories about the “ephemeral life”, wrote its first spoof news headline on April 1st, 1828, announcing the death of Don Pedro, Emperor of Brazil. The periodical lasted for quite a few years, but eventually, it ran into financial difficulties. Fittingly, on its last number dated September 14th, 1894, A Mentira communicated to all its creditors where they could go to get the money they were owed. The only problem was that this too was a prank and the place at the published address did not exist!

Greece

Protos Aprilis, (protos = first + Aprilis = April) was absorbed into Greek culture very fast. The basic idea remains the same like everywhere else: on April 1st, everyone tells innocent lies in order to trick the “victim”. It is so widespread that one finds different customs in different parts of Greece. In some parts, it is considered good luck for the prank to be successful. The person who manages to trick another is going to have a fortunate year, as opposed to the person who gets fooled. In Naxos, an island in the Cyclades, they still take part in pranks, only on March 1st.

Germany

The tradition in Germany is exactly the same as it is in the US, though with a slightly bigger overall importance. On April Fools’ Day, you play a prank (called an “Aprilscherz“) on family members, co-workers and friends-even solid lies are customarily excused on that day. Newspapers, TV and radio stations typically have at least one story which is generally harmless, but “out of this world” and completely made up. To reveal the joke, Germans say April, April: literally April, April. The Germans definitely take their pranks seriously! Here’s hoping your pranks are successful and should you be a victim of one, plan ahead for the next year!

Friendly reminder that Titans Scarecrow is the only valid Scarecrow and a perfect representation of what Jonathan Crane should be.

if you're still giving us your uh completely honest opinions: who is your favorite and least favorite version of Eddie and why?

Based on my completely "honest" opinions that are 100% true my favorite version of Eddie would have to be War of Jokes and Riddles. I love his desing, the question mark scar is not even a bit stupid and dark aproaches to Riddler are my cup of tea forever and awalys. OBD Riddler is a likely contender as well. There are other Riddlers I think I might enjoy if I properly read like the red one I adore when he hurts childrem.

Now my least favorite being "honest" is really hard. There is a lot of Riddlers that mean very little to me. Unburied Riddler is a likely contender specially because Unburied revived my love for superheros after the MCU destroyed it wich is just a terrible fate. Who wants to be a comic book fan?

P.I Riddler. I just hate detective stories. Specially with moraly ambiguous detectives. That's why Lemony Snicket is a characther I hate soo much. Sherlock Holmes dreadfull? My spotify is full of mystery podcasts because I just hate them soo much I need to watch them all.

Gorshin's Riddler is one I truly hate. As everyone knows I'm completly against light takes or fun. It's either overly dark or shouldn't exist. And Gorshin is just too silly. And the stimming? I don't want my characthers to be full of moviment even less in a autistic coded way. Hate hate hate that.

Arkham Riddler. He is edgy enough but he is just too fun and too complex and the voice acting is too good. It's wrong. The puzzles are not annoying but still while I ADORE finding that FUCKING TROPHIES everywhere. I don't think they make sense or add to the characther or are a good thing at all.

There is others but this is the major ones. I just hate a lot of Riddlers. He is my least favorite Batman villain and that means a lot as the only Batman characthers I like are Arnold Flass and Lock Up. Actually I hate most DC characthers. Unless when they are facist. Frank Miller's Batman my beloved.

That's all.

#in brazil april's fool is lies day #so i'm lying #april's fool #i fell like I entered Bizarro world #riddler #edward nygma #ask
