i think one of the most unfortunate parts of dai when it comes to vivienne is that we have zero idea how she is regarded amongst the other mages outside of the inquisition. we know how dorian and solas feel about her obviously, and we get little snips between vivienne, fiona, and morrigan, but the average mage? we don't really get anything. we don't really get anything about how the loyalists or the rebels actually feel about her. we don't even have any information on how her own circle feels about her or what she was like as first enchanter.

Crack idea here: LCF modern AU with magic where og!Cale accidentally gains a swordmaster aura after way too many hours of playing beat saber.

Cale: *intensely playing the same game for 74th time this (new) year*

Cale's body: *starts exuding glowing mist*

Cale:

Hans, who just opened the door: Excuse me, young mas— Hhh...

Hans: Madam Violan!!!

The fact that Carmy was going to call Claire and officially end things only because his business partner told him to- is insane.

Sydney and Carmy have an unspoken rule that they just won't talk about Claire aka (whoever) When Sydney tells him, "That's not who I was talking about," she doesn't even personify Claire.

And carmy nods, so he doesn't bring her up to Sydney and doesn't try to call for the rest of the season.

Another thing: the very next episode when Claire was brought up- and the camera always cuts to Sydney.

gojo assistant to gojo househusband is EVERYTHING to me he’d be so good at it. packing up bentos before work, visiting u for a lunch break, visiting u for a shoulder and neck massage. hes just so cute. i bet that even when he gets to a househusband role he’d still do some assistant duties and he absolutely is against u getting another assistant bc he’s been that guy and he knows u are too easily fallen in love with. he’d probably only give up that role to someone that he trusts 100% and knows that won’t fall in love with you like yuuta and even then he probs gets a tiny bit irrationally jealous when yuuta knows a lot about your schedule and habits bc that’s HIS job but a lil smooch from u will have him too flustered to even remember what initially ticked him off

when he finally makes it out of the work husband territory, he’s already wildly insufferable as a boyfriend. but when he finally becomes your husband? all bets are off—if people thought satoru couldn’t be louder or prouder of you they were so, so very wrong. he was born for this. 

sends you off with a bento and a kiss every single morning, and then calls you right before lunch time to remind you to actually take your lunch break and eat—and maybe because he wants compliments on the food he made you. when he can’t send you off with lunch, he has yuuta deliver it for you, or he drops it off himself, which is always a welcome surprise, not just for you, but everybody in the office. it’s nice that he’s remembered so fondly, and some days he does miss it, but he wouldn’t trade in being your husband for the world. 

so true about yuuta being his replacement—satoru was very, very thorough in the vetting process of hiring your new secretary. he knows how easy it is to fall in love you, he knows what it’s like to be the work husband and he refuses to hire anybody else who might think even slightly like him. so, call it nepotism or call it favoritism, but yuuta is one of maybe three people satoru actually trusts with the job. turns out yuuta is best suited for it anyway, which brings satoru even more relief. on the days he really misses you, it makes him pout when you recount all the times yuuta saved your ass, but a kiss or two really is he needs to be brought back to reality. 

he’s always calling or texting you with paint samples or fabric samples, and you’ve learned to not try and make sense of satoru’s interior design priorities. you really don’t think that the guest bathroom needs new wallpaper, but he does and if he wants to install it, who are you to stop him. so many days you come home from work and he’s like, “oh, babe, my mom called in a friend of a friend and turns out her husband can make us our own version of that vintage couch you saw in the museum display last week,” which is. absolutely insane because that’s easily a $25,000 couch, but he just waves you off about it and asks you what color you want it in—he’ll handle everything else.

im researching Scarecrow hench-people and the DC wiki is really unhelpful, can you give me a list of a few notable ones. Also who's this Autumn from the Audio Adventures people keep mentioning. Is she a canon character or is she an OC

thank you! also loved the list you did of your favorite hench people

Thank you! Now that you mention it, it does seem like Scarecrow's kinda lacking in terms of notable henchmen, even purely in terms of visually distinct one-offs. It might have something to do with how little he's been traditionally focused on crime and coalition building, per se, and more so on lone terrorist campaigns and experimentation. Besides Scream Queen, who I already went into in the other post, these are the ones that I can think of:

Autumn / Miss Autumn is canon to TBAA, she just never showed up in the show. We hear about her in S1 via two scenes where Miss Tuesday talks about her friend in Scarecrow's gang, another villain assistant named Autumn that she always texts with and coordinates with, and then later she'd appear in issue #6 of the Audio Adventures comic, kidnapping Dick while he's disguised as a Burma Shave Boy and bringing him over to the Scarecrow as part of his plan. She claims to be a scullery maid in charge of the "kitchen" and is instructed by Crane to prepare a new batch, and Dick finds an Arkham Asylum physician's clearence and security badge that might belong to her, given Miss Tuesday in the show claims to have grown up in Arkham and the two seeming to be fairly close friends.

The Audio Adventures Special prequel comic released along with S2 also showed that, along with his biker gang to peddle in the street, he employs dealers hidden in plain sight such as the elderly librarian Mrs.Elliot, who we don't get to know much more about other than her being known by Dick and his friends, and a willing enthusiastic participant in the Scarecrow's plans to sell drugs to kids, as well as kidnap and experiment on them.

In terms of notable henchmen I think the first one he ever got were the Strawmen from Batman #296: said to be named Otto and Raymond, former students of his who've joined him and became students of the Scarecrow, serving as the muscle to his operation.

There's Linda Frittawa / Fright, introduced in a Judd Winick arc by the name of "As the Crow Flies", who became his assistant and confidant, while secretly manipulating him under a deal she made with the Penguin. She's the one who turned Scarecrow into the Scarebeast, and eventually showed up later working for Jeremiah Arkham Black Mask.

Not quite a henchwoman per se but there is a character named Haunter who showed up in the 2017 Batman (vol.3) annual, who's able to kill people with her DNA and who coordinates a small-scale fear gas with Jonathan to make her escape from Arkham, and it's said the two had a "twisted mutual admiration thing" before Batman put her away. She's only made two appearences in total, in two anthology shorts penned by her creator Scott Bryan Wilson, and I'm including her because given her name and gimmick and lack of prominence, she might as well be a Scarecrow henchwoman or partner or extension of his deal.

There's a fairly long pattern of Scarecrow being responsible for the creation of new villains with his experiments even if they don't necessarily go on to become henchmen - Madame Crow from Tynion's run was a former student who was tortured with fear toxin for months and took over a year to recover, before embarking on her own fear toxin campaigns. Colin Wilkes from Streets of Gotham was an abused orphan kidnapped by Scarecrow and given Venom injections before being ordered to attack Batman, and who was freed and became a hero. The Gotham Knight movie states that this version of Killer Croc was experimented on by Jonathan Crane, who caused his condition to worsen and seems to have kept him around a sewer hideout as an attack dog. The Titans show had him behind the resurrection of Jason Todd and his transformation into Red Hood, and Gotham had him create the show's version of Joker Toxin that kicks off Jeremiah Valeska's transformation.

And finally, we'd be remiss not to mention that a couple of times in his older appearences he's had a pet raven named Nightmare, a concept that's come up again in more recent kid-friendly books where it's named Croward instead, who assisted him in his criminal endeavors. I suppose that raven evidently doesn't make too much sense given Crane's backstory revolving around the crow trauma inflicted on him by his grandmother, or that trained birds are still very much Penguin territory in spite of him never using them anymore, or it clashing too much with the darker tone and vibe he's supposed to have, but there's a self-evident charm to the scarecrow-themed villain having a pet raven circling him.

You wanna know why I really think Roxas is so Cloud Strife coded?

It’s because only these two idiots could watch someone die and only able to remind them that they had dinner plans. Don’t believe me?

358/2 days:

Xion: *is activly dying and being deleted from living memory*

Roxas: Xion! Who will I have ice-cream with!

Final fantasy VII Remake:

Jessie: *actively dying*

Cloud: You owe me a pizza!

Also, you know, there the whole:

Spiky Blonde hair blue eyes combo

The not knowing who they really are and having a bit of a brake down when they find out their whole existence is a lie.

The random bouts of unconsciousness.

The broody silence broken by silly comments.

The best friend/ mentor figure with spiked hair.

The girl he wants to protect but ultimately fails to.

The all black in their depression era.

The not knowing what makes them happy/ real.

THE GUILT

Having someone else’s memories

Not thinking anyone would miss them.

Tormented by silver haired superior in a black coat who’s biggest dream is to gain back what he’s yearned for his entire existence and summons a big space rock to do so.

Also that the world that never was looks stupidly like upper midgar sector 1.

That one red haired character voiced by Quentin Flynn who keeps trying to take him places he doesn’t want to be!

The girl with mysterious powers who knows everything that they become extremely fond of/fall in love with decpite the lingering presence of dark haired “childhood best friend” type friend they are ALSO possibly extremely fond of/ in love with.

The spikey haired ray of sunshine who places an impossible legacy on their shoulders, though they can’t really remember it’s been placed on them.

Incorrect memories of a hometown that doesn’t exist.

Sitting in high places

Falling off of said high places

Being made for a specific purpose.

Using a weapon that was passed down to them from the original owner, to the one who stepped up to wield the weapon/ shoulder the burden of destiny, then to him.

The OTHER silver haired asshole who is ruining his life because “destiny depends on it”.

Duel wielding abilities.

Constantly running around town Fixing everyone else’s problems for pocket money.

Finally being his own person and then the guy he was sharing a head space with fucks off and makes his life difficult AGAIN!

There’s likely more but that’s all I can think of for now. Namora ain’t slick. These boys are the same person. Only difference is one’s voiced by Jesse McCartney and the other is voiced by Cody Christian.

There’s an argument to be made that if you swapped their voice actor nobody would really notice all that much…
