oops sadness

[unriddling]

1 Even though his father never really physically harmed him, Riddler has a kneejerk internal distress response to the sight of a baseball bat or ball, mostly due to how often those were used to destroy his things as well as the fear that one day Mr. Nashton would go too far.

2 His father’s name was Billy Nashton. Riddler changed his name to Edward Nygma as soon as legally able, to distance himself from his father as well as the wordplay aspect of it.

3 Riddler hates being called anything but what he chooses. His father never called him Edward, only Champ. It’s why he calls people he dislikes by nicknames; it shows disrespect without being pathetically crude.

4 The closest thing to a home he ever had was Gotham University’s labs.

5 He doesn’t know how to handle feeling sad. At all. He either gets angry instead or shoves it down until he just feels empty.

6 He hates crying. Doing it makes him feel weak and pathetic. Seeing it makes him feel like something’s crawling over his skin.

7 Riddler doesn’t really feel hunger, at least not to the point he can’t ignore it most of the time. Plus when he’s stressed he ends up feeling a bit too sick to eat.

8 He planned to die right after he took Gorman out both times, until Batman (who didn’t quite know of said plans) put the ideas into his head there was something different to do.

9 His mother left the family when he was only three or four, and she died before he could find her again.

10 He genuinely doesn’t believe anyone could ever care about him anymore.
