Absolutely agree with everything you’ve got here! The childhood friends is a new dynamic we only started talking about/writing recently but my god, I love it so much??? Waylon had a TERRIBLE childhood and like so many of Gotham’s Rogues, Roman did too. Just in different ways. Whereas Waylon grew up in poverty and hardship, abused further by his neglectful and outright cruel aunt, Roman grew up in relative care, privileged compared to many but no more loved by his parents than Waylon’s aunt cared for her nephew. Roman similarly had few friends growing up, but if they had met as children as they did in our threads, it would have been a very different story, these two finding solace in one another, in a world where their loved ones resent them for being the way they are. It’s a strange dichotomy almost, that Waylon and Roman can look so different and live completely opposite lives but beneath the surface, if one cared to look deeper, they are very similar people at heart and it’s exactly the reason why they get along so well. Roman had no love of his parent’s fancy parties and extravagant events and Waylon would have never fitted in (much less gotten an invitation), but he’s the right sort of asset at parties Roman likes, where they take down anybody who gets in their way. They are very much partners in crime, with none of the mind games other criminals in Gotham like getting up to behind each other’s backs. Killer Croc has none of the airs and graces others tend to put on and his honesty is a breath of fresh air in a place where Black Mask needs eyes up his ass (as well as the back of his head) to avoid getting double-crossed or stabbed in the back. With Croc, he has none of those worries and vice versa with Croc trusting him. They plan accordingly, make their agreements, work together as a team and see their work through to the end, so that each man gets his due. It’s very business-oriented which works well for them, making their team-up’s a genuine threat as Roman sees and treats Croc as an equal, not as a dumb animal or thug who can’t think for himself. Roman has a healthy respect for Croc, both for his abilities and reliability in a city full of criminals that will stab you in the back for a bigger slice of the pie or simply because it’s fun. With these two? They want it all, and the best way to get that is to work together as one.

Roman didn’t have a lot of friends growing up, at least not inside his social circle. He was too rough, too vulgar for the other socialites to warm to even with his parent’s ‘education’ on how to behave around their sort. He did, however, get along with a few, most notably @babydxhl and @sanguine-salvation, whose company Roman liked enough. @brutalscaled​ was the very first friend he made without his parent’s knowledge, early one spring while holidaying at their country estate. Roman had taken a liking to the scaled boy, preferring his company over the hateful rich kids his parents forced him to befriend. During his teens, Roman would go on to make more friends. One of these new friends was a boy named Garfield Lynns. Angry delinquents at heart, the two got along like a house on fire, committing petty crimes and even acts of arson together. After Roman was caught sleeping with Circe (and summarily disowned), he knew exactly who to turn to and together they burned down the Sionis Estate, their first crime that result in people’s deaths.

When Roman contracted rabies as a child, his health declined quickly once symptoms set in. Instead of taking her child to hospital, Mrs. Sionis locked him inside his bedroom, choosing instead to go out to a party with her husband as so not to be late. Delirious with fever and pain, Roman somehow managed to crawl to his bathroom, filling the tub with cold water despite his fear and sitting in it for the entire night. His parents didn’t come home until after the following day, having forgotten all about their child’s plight. 

The face Roman makes when @thewomanwholaughs​ strolls into his office like she owns the damn place.

no but it being a running joke that even if roman directly catches her cheating she. will not. break. staring him down like 🥺🥺🥺 'i would never do that. not ever' 🥺🥺🥺 'how could you accuse me so'

In response to this;

AGREED. Roman gets so fucking steamed about it too, Mary can look as innocent as she wants but it’s a fucking lie and he knows it. Girl, you’ve done nothing wrong in your life ever but this is not one of them.
