"Histrionic , I know - like the costume. But then we are all a bit...bent... We Keenys and Cranes."

(I was bored yesterday trying to figure out what to draw for my AU so I made some Year one Scarecrow eye for practice.)

I was wrapping Christmas gifts when I thought of this...

Jonathan Crane (aka The Scarecrow) wouldn't really celebrate or even look forward to the Christmas season. As a child, Granny never let him experience Christmas like all the other kids did. Sure, there might have been a nativity set and candles, but there was no decorating a tree, no decorating cookies, no Christmas music playing. The atmosphere was never joyful or triumphant. Jonathan never wrote letters to Santa, or heck, got to believe in Santa in general. Granny probably told him outright that he didn't exist. While other kids talked about what they hoped to get for Christmas, Jonathan knew what he would recieve: nothing. Or if he did get something from Granny, it was an orange or clothes...and they were never ever wrapped.

I think we can all agree, Harley likes to give her friends gifts (either for Hanukkah or Christmas). She not only does her best to get or make something unique for each person; she also takes great care in wrapping the gifts. It is for this reason, she never wraps Jonathan's gifts with cheesey red and green Santa-clad wrapping paper. She notices how he seemingly hates the brightly colored wrapping paper everyone in Gotham seems to use. How it is just another reminder of what he never got as a child. Therefore, she uses black wrapping paper (Nightmare Before Christmas if she can find it!), buffalo plaid (bonus points if it is actual plaid fabric), burlap (lol), and brown parcel paper with twine (maybe even the red-and-white striped one) with a little greenery. It always makes it easy to spot which gifts are for Jonathan, something he really appreciates.

Little guy

Tiny, clingy Dick Grayson appreciation post

[allovesthings]

I love that Dick is pocket sized for both powered superheroes and as Robin, when he is a teeny little guy for the non-powered. It's very fun.

So here is three of my favorite way someone carried Dick:

Kitten! Dick taken by the scruff in Batman/Scarecrow Year one:

2. On the shoulder of Superman, looking like he is having the time of his life:

3. look at his shit-eating smile, i love him

Bruce looking like he wants to beat Dick's ass in Batman & Robin: Year One is absolutely sending me.

Bonus:

Batman & Robin: Year One #2

Pov: Every time Year One Jon goes to sleep: *just sleeping maybe snoring softly*

5 mins later: *waking up from a major nightmare in cold sweat* Ah *bleep*.

Get out your feathers, your patent leathers Your beads and buckles and bows For there’s no blue Monday in your Sunday clothes!

Well this got out of hand. Remake of a messy doodle I did in a psychology lecture (oh, the irony) based on an idea I got when talking about Jonathan’s childhood with a friend. And yeah, I ruined Hello Dolly for myself.

I honestly think it solidified the idea that there was something wrong with him in his mind. Something that no mother (or anyone) could love.

Question for Scarecrow fans who have read Year One, What do you think was going through Jonathan's head when he realized that his mother had had another child, which she kept?

[the-exception-to-the-rules]

I don't think Jonathan Crane regrets much. He doesn't regret killing his great-grandmother. He doesn't regret scaring Bo and Sherry, inadvertently causing Bo to become paralyzed and killing Sherry. He doesn't regret shooting the gun in class that led to being fired.

But one thing he does regret is pointing the gun at his half-sister (not that he will admit it). It's one thing to threaten to shoot his mother, who he believed abandoned him to suffer Great-Granny's abuse; it's another thing to threaten to shoot a sleeping toddler.
