@cxpperhead sent: [Headcanon Questions] 🖤 - What’s a “villain” trait they actually possess?

headcanon questions

"If we are talking villain in quotation marks, then I have no empathy, nor compassion." The concept of feeling other person's emotions was alien to her. Perhaps her lack of empathy was why her Observation Haki never picked on people's emotions.

While it certainly limited her battle skills, Emil was glad for this limitation; having the constant murmur of hundreds if not thousands of people in the background she could never turn off was annoying enough. She was aware of all the joyful moments but also of all the brutal ones. Someone was getting stabbed in an alley three blocks away right that moment. A woman had smacked a man with a boom, he hit his head on the table corner and now lay there unconscious and dying. And those were only two examples of many tragedies she had witnessed.

And ignored. The world was a brutal place, but at least she didn't have to feel that.

"But that's a quotation marks villain; lack of empathy doesn't make one a bad person."

"Now, if we are talking an actual villain." She smiled a light and innocent smile that often unsettled people in this conversation context. "I don't care. I'm aware of all the atrocities happening around me and I sometimes go and stop them but that's to battle boredom. I get involved because I'm bored. I don't 'look the other way' as the saying goes because I'm unable to help, or because I'm scared. I ignore all of those because I can't be bothered."

Send "Icons only" and something for my muse to react to

send a 👫 and I’ll write four headcanons I have about our muse’s relationship.

she likes to know what he thinks about other rogues, finds his opinions interesting and valuable, casually grills him on the regular

mary starts a betting pool every time he ends up in arkham on how long it will take him to get out this time. it is NOT rigged, this she will tell anyone, but she does always clean up good

hates the snakes and doesn't like to be in the same room as them (point of contention bc she does think they're icky) BUT if he happens to come across a baby alligator/crocodile and take it in for a while. that thing is HERS for the duration of their convo it is little and she has hands for holding. and it shuts her up from complaining about the snakes looking at her

TEHE — ooh, thank you so much for sending me an ask related to this mun, my friend!! i honestly would LOVE to gush about them so just give me a moment to list off all of the things that are a part of the love letter meme and i'll get started. for this, i will be saying one thing i like about their blog, one thing i like about their portrayal, and one thing i like about them as a person. so, let's get started, shall we? :D to begin, i'm going to talk about how awesome it is to see copperhead has a blog dedicated to him on here. i have always enjoyed reading about and seeing people expand upon characters that aren't always seen in the dc's media for some apparent reason even though they DEFINITELY deserve more chances to shine. so yeah, that is one thing that i like about their blog!

now, as for one thing i like about their portrayal is that although we have yet to interact, from what i've seen of it... it is REALLY good to be honest! like seeing their headcanons pop up on my dash for copperhead is always such a pleasure because they're very detailed and interesting. for example, i can recall them delving into the fact that despite his tallness and his tail, that doesn't make him any less of an expert at stealth because his diet usually consists of things like fruits and lean meats which is... i think that is just SO big-brained of them tbh. like, you can just tell that they put a hell of a lot of work and thought into their portrayal of him. plus, i am rather desensitized to things - i will admit that much but the way in which they write copperhead, who is an assassin, killing people is chilling sometimes but in the best way.

"Would you?"

It's a 'simple' question, one that most anyone would be able to supply an answer for in two shakes of a horse's tail... But for people like them? Such an inquiry is not one so easily answered at best; and at worst, a completely loaded attempt to weed-out weakness and empathy in a dealer of death. Luckily, she's bold enough to care little about about such things anymore.

"Easy Kaa, no need to look at me like that, I'm just as much a 'hero' as you are! Most of the time I'd have to really be interested in the other person, but helping friends and allies is a no-brainer... Some predators thrive in a pack, after all." River crosses her arms, that sheer confidence in her answer shining beacon-bright in her grin.

"I can pull bullets and stitch most surface wounds no problem; if I couldn't do that much, this would've been one very short career! Broken bones are a lot trickier, though. I can do a crude splint and try to set it, but-... Well, one should always have good back-alley doc on speed-dial, just in case."

"I do." Bertha mumbles behind her mask. She feels uneasy now; awkward. "I am not a thief to take from you without having anything to offer in return."

After a pause, she adds, "Not that there is anything wrong with thievery... not when you do it; you have your reasons."
