HAPPY HALLOWEEN! HROO HRAA!

ScarecrowWeek2024 Day 7 "Halloween with the Sanderson's Sisters"/"Free day"

Thanks Moffy @jonathan-cranes-mistress-of-fear for the scarecrowweek! Maybe next year I can fully get into some days hahaha

I had to redo this post due to accidental posting when i was editing it and Tumblr post it....thanks Tumblr..

Thank you so much for your likes and reblogs, I did have my hesitations about posting this as we're tended to be our worst critics. I am super thankful for the amazing support and encouragement from my amazing friends from the various fandoms. Although I most likely won't be able to do much for the ScarecrowWeeek2024 or Halloween, I wanted to end the month with by far one of my favorite Halloween drawings hahaha

CW and Disclaimer: To clarify, the dress is a reference to Crimson Peak (although I am not a huge fan), so the brownish red is not blood but red dirt/ clay. Below there is the masked version, and a scythe. The mask looks intentionally scary, so I wanted to put a warning for it! Please enjoy!)

As you can tell, I couldn't help myself but sneak some Sleepy Hollow esque- themes for the drawing with Jon's unmasked scarecrow outfit while he carries his wife Elizabeth (My OC). The background are meant to be corvids, so let's pretend Craw and Nightmare are just flying behind them, as I sadly couldn't sneak them in

I do like to think, they're celebrating their anniversary, and he swept her off her chair into a wonderful walk among the corn fields while quoting Poetry to her along spooky stories (Def Poe's poetry and Sleepy Hollow)

Anyway, here's the mask version, which I quite love! I was super hesitant as I didn't think my scarecrow concept looked very scarecrow-y, but the most important thing was to have fun, and I love y'all like it :3

His mask is like a mix of a plague doctor Zombie, so I hope it fits hahaha

Anyway happy Halloween, and thank you Moffy for providing me with such opportunity with this last day

[thegothicghoul]

Happy Halloween you guys! This little guy was supposed to go up on day three but he wasn't finished yet. Oh well, have a spooky Arkham asylum boy for Halloween.

Monster Mash/Creature Crane

Day 3 of Scarecrow Week

Can be read as Jonathan Crane/Edward Nygma OR close friends

Words: 1230

-

“Pamela, you don’t want this.” Edward muttered nervously, backing away as she stepped toward him. “I’m not here to do any harm to your plants”

“Why else would you be here? You don’t seem the type to just stop and smell the roses” she shot back, a large stalk forming behind her. Tendril-like vines split from it, splaying out and creeping towards The Riddler.

“Please, you do not want to do that. I don’t mean you any harm, but harm could be done by someone I do not control trying to protect me. Just- please?”

That gave her pause. The Riddler, begging. Not a common occurrence. He was worried- extremely, if he was driven to beg. Nonetheless, she continued on.

Edward stopped moving away, giving a concerned look, but she didn’t stop. A vine reached out for him.

The only warning was a low rumble before something jumped, sharp teeth the size of her hand biting down and severing the vine. Edward flinched back, but didn’t move as the creature placed itself between them.

It switched from four legs to two, staring menacingly through milky blue eyes as it let out a clicking growl. It snapped at another vine, which jerked back too late.

Ivy’s mind reeled as she tried to figure out what she was seeing, pulling her vines back for their protection.

“I’m alright, I’m not hurt.” Edward insisted, his voice seeming to relax the creature. It made a chuffing noise like a tiger, turning to him to look him over.

“Safe?”

“I’m safe, Crane. not even injured.” Edward confirmed.

“What… is that, Edward?” Ivy interjected with a hiss.

“Professor Crane. Mind you, with cosmetic changes, a bit of brain fog, and much more instinct and emotionally inclined. Blame Oswald. We’re just here because we really needed the outside, but without the public.”

He put a hand out, letting the creature- Scarecrow nudge his face into it contently. Ivy fought back a slightly hysterical laugh.

“This was your best idea?”

“You were in Toxic Acres, didn’t think you’d mind.”

“Bullshit! you knew I’d mind. You just didn’t care.”

“Well that could also be true.” Edward admitted, leaning on the much larger creature. “But this doesn’t happen often, if you have issues with it, take it up with Oswald. You think Jonathan wants to be a large, hulking, terrifying creature? I mean- wouldn’t put it past him, but I’m sure he’d like to be lucid for it.”

“You’re really lucky I don’t want to fight…” she made a vague gesture at Jon.

“The Scarebeast?”

“… Sure, Scarebeast. You’re spending the minimum possible amount of time here, understand?”

Edward offered a charming grin she didn’t like in lieu of an answer, but she took it as an acceptance, since refusal wouldn’t end well for him anyways. She left before she’d have to hear another word from Edward.

—

“You did wonderfully” Edward praised, petting Jon’s clawed hands to soothe the ache this form had on his joints, getting a chuff in return. He laid down by Edward, large and imposing even curled up as he was.

The Scarebeast was something to behold.

A powerful, bear-like body allowed the creature to easily stand on two legs or all four as it pleased. Its skull was shaped like a lion or tigers, with teeth as long as a human hand. Long, clawed fingers ended in deadly points, and toxin poured from its nares when it was angry.

It was magnificent. Or it would be, if it didn’t cause such agony in Jonathan.

Whatever Oswald had done to him couldn’t be stopped immediately without shocking Crane’s system, possibly killing him. He needed to be weaned off it, slowly. At least one day every two weeks until it was stable, then they’d move it to three weeks, then four, slowly.

Impossibly slowly.

At least it seemed they’d found a place they could use- probably a few times, Ivy didn’t seem keen on confronting Jonathan like this.

-

The first thing Jonathan was aware of when he woke up was the pain radiating through his body. The aches settled over his entire body like a blanket, making him wish he could just fall back asleep and be unconscious to the pain again. Unfortunately, his discomfort would never allow it.

A hand ran over his upper arm, pressing lightly in a clear attempt to try and soothe his aching muscles.

“I can see your eyes moving behind your eyelids, Jonathan. There’s no shame in accepting help while you’re conscious.”

Jonathan opened his eyes begrudgingly, taking everything in with the bleary part of his mind not tired or in too much pain to concentrate.

Jonathan was in his own bed with a light blanket draped over his body, likely for modesty. Painkillers and water sat on the nightstand with a bag of pretzels, a weak attempt to lighten the hit that the calorie-burning transformation would have on his already emaciated body.

And of course Edward, as always, was sat in his desk chair that had been pulled up beside the bed. He looked put together, only the discoloration of the skin under his eyes suggesting that he was in anything but perfect shape.

“Morning. You look dreadful.” Edward stated matter-of-factly, holding the painkillers out. Jon sat up slightly, just enough to swallow them and chase it down with the water.

“You alright?” Jon asked, as he always did. And as always, Edward became clearly exasperated.

“No, you didn’t magically change your mind and start attacking me. I’ve told you, you’re quite loyal in that form. In fact, Ivy came around and you protected me. So I’d appreciate it if you stopped asking that question.”

“Ivy?”

“Mhm. I think she’s intimidated by that form. Good, better for us that she is.”

Edward passed the pretzels over, and Jon took them without argument, knowing by now it was useless.

“I suppose it suits us just fine.” Jonathan agreed, pulling himself into a sitting position and taking the clothes he’d laid out yesterday in preparation. He didn’t bother to ask Edward to turn, knowing full well that there was no way he’d gotten Jonathan all the way back to his own bed without seeing more than enough.

“We should be fine using the botanical gardens for some time. If you start thinking we’re close to upsetting Ivy again, I say you tell Harley. Her good will towards you meshes well with Ivy’s inability to say no to Harley.” He pointed out, checking Jonathan over as he dressed to make sure he hadn’t been injured at all in the night.

“I’ll consider it.”

Edward nodded, knowing better than to push him more.

“Try to get some more rest now that you’re more comfortable. Hopefully those painkillers will kick in when you wake up and we’ll actually get you out of bed.”

Jon was all too happy to lay back down, sprawling out in a mess of thin limbs wordlessly. Edward smirked, shaking his head.

“Rest well, alright? I’ll be here when you get up.”

If Jonathan leaned slightly into the hand that brushed his hair back, Edward was mercifully quiet about it. He nodded, earning a small smile as Edward made himself comfortable in his chair.

“Rest well, I’ll see you soon.”

Jonathan allowed himself to be pulled into unconsciousness, allowing a reprieve from the conscious pain.

He’d be safe, with Edward here.

Scarecrow Week 2020 : Day 5: Scary Lab Experiments

Not really “scary” as in what the scariest experiment Jonathan could do, but I feel like Jonathan WOULD be fascinated with the Baby Albert Experiment on some level.

Scarecrowweek day 4 childhood trauma (tw religious trauma)

edit: fuck i did day 5 by accident

[fearthebadgers]

ScarecrowWeek Day 4: Poke’mon Team!

Many people give Jon mostly dark and poison type Poke’mon, I like to think that he would have at least one fire type or water type as well. (Note I’ve only ever played 2 Poke’mon games in my life and never got the chance to get into any of the shows so I’m a bit of an newbie to Poke’mon tho I would like to do more with it in the future.)

Anyways, here’s Jon’s Poke’mon Team from his weakest to his strongest!

6: Ponyta

I felt it would be nice to give Jon a Poke’mon with a resemblance to a horse. Jon’s Ponyta is relatively new to his team and has a very spunky personality as many Ponyta’s are known to have. Jon with a Rapidash would look so freaking badass.

5: Pumpkaboo

A very “Halloween-esque,” Poke’mon, Pumpkaboo would be an awesome addition to Jonathan’s team and would fit his spooky aesthetic very well. Also, Pumpkaboo is too freaking adorable.

4: Honchkrow

I love this Poke’mon so much! It’s adorable! I had to give Jon a Poke’mon that resembles a crow or otherwise his team just wouldn’t be complete.

3: Nidoking

Now we’re getting to the big guns. I’ve only had one Nidoking before and I remember that thing being an absolute beast in battle. (I miss you Grape) A bit off of the whole aesthetic thing with it also being a Ground Poke’mon but I thought it would be a good addition.

2: Gengar

A ghost and poison Poke’mon for Jon. It’s perfect! Spooky, toxic and at least in my opinion, kind of cute. In a creepy way. Personally I’ve always had a soft spot for Gengar.

1: Cacturne!

Yes! This is the perfect Poke’mon for Jonathan! It’s even technically a Scarecrow Poke’mon! Jon loves his strongest Poke’mon very much and he’s had his Cacturne for many years and has won many battles with his prized Poke’mon. Cacturne is usually the Poke’mon that he has outside of it’s designated Poke’Ball and by Jonathan’s side. These two work very well together and still have a lot more to accomplish together along with the rest of Jon’s team.

The scarecrow and Bride (WIP)

FINALLY I GOT TO DRAW ELIZABETH! WHOOO HOOO!

Ah, and here's him with his scarecrow mask which is in progress (Question Iva's methods, but never her results/jk)

This is just him with his mask on, he'll be wearing his full scarecrow costume, but I made two versions for funsies. In an ideal world, I would make a small animation to showcase the chance buuuuut:

Phantom learn from two years ago Tumblr has a vendetta against her and big gif files/hj

I...actually don't know how the duck to animate that

So it remains just as an extra, but also is a relief because it means less work outside the whole making a separate head just for an alternate and shading XD

This most likely, if I am able to get it done soon XD, will be my halloween post. If I am lucky I could also get the fic out soon, but that'll be dropped early for the ScarecrowWeek 2024 hahaha (which technically this piece will be, but for the last day as I am taking the oportunity that its a free day hehee)

----

Ok, so about the requests. I am not dropping them, Phantom is on a two-day break!

Alright, lovely folks, don't worry about your request! I'll continue them on Saturday, as I am taking today and tomorrow off from drawing the colorless request, and focus on some stuff of mine.

I just took this decision recently, since honestly I've spent quite a lot of days drawing about 12 requests (THANK YOU GUYS!!!/vpos), so I decided to take a small teeny tiny break to relax and indulge in my stuff of Halloween! (better plan early than late, hahaha)

Although, I will say please don't send in requests today or Friday as it's on my break. I'll continue them on Saturday and slowly work to finish stuff. So in a sense, just for today and Friday, I am holding a small pause. I never thought I've gotten 12 drawings out already, and I appreciate it with all my heart, but I do hope you dears can understand I def need a small break so I don't get burn out or too overwhelmed. I will try however to get some progress done on one of the longest ones, as Delly has been an angel and been super patience.

In the first week of October I will only take two as I'll be busy, and the request will close down until next year (the last weeks of the year are the busiest for me)

Friendship with rogues

Day 2 of Scarecrow Week

Jonathan Crane & Harley Quinn & Edward Nygma

Words: 1036

-

“It’s all black and gray, there’s no color!” Harley huffed, leaning on Jonathan dramatically.

“It’s a Halloween puzzle, it’s supposed to be dark,” Jonathan pointed out, affixing two orange pieces in the shape of a pumpkin. “That’s why we have Edward doing the part that’s all the same shade of black”

“Well how is he managing to do it so fast?”

Edward looked up from his section, which was a hill in shadow. All the same shade of black, but still further along than the other two.

“It’s because I’m the Prince of Puzzles, could you really expect less from me?”

“It’s because he’s autistic, he exhibits pattern seeking behavior. And he’s been doing these all his life for tactile stimulation” Jonathan explained, picking up a piece and handing it to Edward.

He snatched it, mumbling something about ‘fucking psychologists’ as he placed it.

Harley chewed her pumpkin-shaped cookie contently, passing an orange piece to Jonathan.

“To be fair, I could’ve piled on top of that but I didn’t, it’s not so much ‘psychologists’ as just Jonathan”

“Wh- how would you add onto that?!”

“Puzzles are an activity that can be done alone. you were a lonely child, you had plenty of practice.”

Edward turned pink, scowling.

“… I asked for that, didn’t I?”

“Quite literally” Jon confirmed.

He just grumbled, continuing his section.

Harley grabbed another cookie, shoving it in her mouth and passing one to each of her friends.

“Sorry Eddie,”

“Not your fault, I did ask for it.”

“If it makes you feel better,” Jonathan interjected. “You’re very well adjusted for your childhood.”

Edward chuckled, shaking his head. Harley snorted, and Jonathan himself couldn’t manage to suppress a smile.

“Thank you for your absolutely egregious lie, Jonathan, but I’ve embraced my lack of adjustment. If I was well adjusted, I wouldn’t be here with you guys”

“… I think he’s finally lost it completely, Harley” Jonathan muttered conspiratorially, making her burst into a fit of giggles.

“I think that boats long sailed for all of us, Professor”

He shrugged, connecting his section to Edward’s now that it was constructed enough to do so.

“Can you turn the TV up? It’s about to get good.”

Harley turned up the volume, but Edward just looked at him.

“… you’re faced away from the TV.”

“I know this movie, Edward.”

“You mean to tell me that you have memorized Tim Burton’s A Nightmare Before Christmas to the point you don’t even need to look at it to know how far into it we are with the volume all the way down at five?” Edward pressed.

“Hey, as far as I’m concerned it’s Henry Selik’s, the ‘Tim Burton’ at the beginning was just added so more people would come see it, he didn’t do shit for that movie. You know when they did the test screening for him he threw a tantrum? He kicked a hole in the wall, a grown ass man! This ain’t his movie.”

“… Damn Jonny, tell ‘em how you really feel” Harley piped up, passing him another cookie, which he ate graciously.

Edward shook his head, muttering under his breath again, though he was smiling this time.

“What was that, Eddie?”

“I said you’re lucky I found that rant endearing and I don’t hit you with my cane”

“No, I heard him!” Harley interjected. “He said that was actually pretty impressive”

Jonathan smirked, watching Edward try to find a way to deny it without calling Harley a liar.

“I- no I just- don’t we have a puzzle to finish?”

“Yeah, I’m pretty sure if we don’t finish it you’re gonna have an aneurism trying to hold back from finishing it yourself” Jonathan muttered, sounding more fond than snarky. He added another completed area to what he’d already attached with a click.

“Thanks for giving me the colored parts. I dunno how you guys are matching those colors, they’re so alike.” Harley finished putting Jack Skellington’s face together, adding it next to her completed moon.

“You know, you can put your glasses on. We’re not gonna judge you. It’d probably make this puzzle easier”

She groaned, overdramatically draping herself on the table.

“But I look so stiff and boring with them!” She whined, her performance losing some drama as he reached for another cookie.

“We’re both currently wearing glasses, Harley.” Edward pointed out.

“I don’t have a pair with me.”

Jonathan sighed, standing up and heading to his desk. He rifled through for a moment before pulling out a case and tossing it over.

“Professor, I doubt we have the same prescription.”

“We don’t, they’re yours. You’re getting predictable.”

“Your face is predictable! I just don’t wanna look like a nerd.” She huffed, sticking her tongue out at him.

“You don’t want to look like Harleen”

She looked at Edward incredulously, who just mouthed the word 'psychologists’ and leaned back in his chair.

“… Close that can of worms right now young man.” She demanded, and he raised his hands defensively.

“Closed, it’s closed. You’re gonna give yourself a never ending headache if you keep skipping out on contacts, though.”

Harley put the glasses on, tossing the case at Crane’s head. He let it hit with a soft noise and land on his lap.

“… if you were anyone else…”

“Mmmhm, but I’m not” she hummed, finishing her side of the puzzle. Jonathan reached for his pieces, batting Edward’s hands away from them.

“True, you’re not. And for that you should be very grateful”

Harley grinned, taking one last cookie before jumping onto the couch.

“I’m always gonna be grateful to have you guys”

Her words were earnest in a way Jonathan himself could never express. In the end, however, he knew the feeling. He also gravitated towards the couch, immediately having arms wrap around one of his as Harley decided where on his bony body had enough meat to be a pillow. Not to be outdone Edward took Jonathan’s other side, draping himself over his thighs.

It wasn’t the most comfortable way to watch the rest of the movie, no, but when did they ever do things the easy way? Never. But this?

If there was a right way, this was it.
