THE HANGED MAN

HICKORY DICKORY DOCK

[adrenalinesaint]

This is an independent, selective, mutuals-only scarecrow (of DC’s Batman comics) rp penned by McCall. Heavily headcanon based. Triggers definitely present, but always tagged. Please don’t hesitate to IM me with questions/comments/concerns. Mun and muse are 21+. No minors, no exceptions. Art used in the desktop theme, mobile header, and dashboard icon is mine.

@the-arkham-librarian​ asked

19. Who is an author that inspires you?

I’m inspired more so by art in general than specifically authors. Allow me to elucidate and go above and beyond by providing a battery of magnificent artists everyone should know, from filmmakers, to authors, to musicians, to drag performers, to painters.

Tarsem Singh

Stanley Kubrick

Thomas Harris

American Horror Story (I sustain myself on camp)

Clive Barker

Stephen King (ew, I know)

Ari Aster

Francis Bacon

Zdzislaw Beksinski

Vander Von Odd

Tom Waits

Johnny Cash

Frank Herbert

David Lynch

And that’s all I can think of right now. Ask for more some other time and maybe I’ll have some new names for the list <3

@corvidamned​ asked

1. What is your favorite trope to rp? 3. Who are your longest rp friends? 6. Name 3 things you love most about your muse/muses.

Favorite Trope

To be quite honest, I don’t know many tropes by name and never frequented the website TV Tropes, as many rpers tend to. Most of my knowledge of tropes in general comes from character archetypes and genre-specific, so I guess I can expound on those? Some, but not all, archetypes I favor include the femme fatale, the addict, the bard, the bumbling sidekick, and the bad boy. Some, but not all, genre-specific tropes I enjoy are cyberpunk corporate-owned prostheses (visa vis Major Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell -- she doesn’t own her own body, Section 9 does), and amicable conversations w the devil in southern gothic or horror.

Longest Rp Friends

This is a tough one bc I tend to disappear for months at a time. But I’d like to think these folks are still my friends.

@the-arkham-librarian​ @corvidamned​ & A couple folks who have moved on from tumblr to other sites for their rp (mostly discord).

Tho to be honest, my Very Longest Standing friendship w other rpers is my irl friends. We’ve run the gamut from Dungeons and Dragons to Uncharted Worlds and Powered by the Apocalypse. We even did a Blades in the Dark once that was pretty neat. If anyone has any recs for new ttrpgs to try out, I’m all ears. Tho keep in mind!! We play over discord, so no actual tabletops lmfao.

3 Things I love Most About my Muse(s)

I’ll relegate this answer to DC-only muses. Lmk if yall want more/others, and/or a list of muses I’ve got in this noggin of mine.

Jonathan

His addiction. I can’t quite explain why, but writing an addict makes me feel less alone. Maybe I’m addicted to some stuff in my life too. I don’t really know for sure.

His disposition. Over the years I’ve worked hard to cultivate a nuanced disposition for my Jon. He started as very gruff and standoffish, but over time I’ve come to realize that being mean doesn’t make a person scary. It’s being kind, and knowing when to take that away.

The rpc and their general reception to my Jon. Everyone has always been very welcoming and supportive. I’ve really never gotten a negative word on this blog, except for the times people have tried to cancel me for making Granny Keeney a closeted lesbian. You decide if that’s a cancellable offense. Overall, everyone is very supportive and generous.

Lindsay @bloody-merry​

She was literally a throw-away character from a single comic that most people don’t even consider canon. I fucking love this. This means I get to do literally whatever I want with her. She’s essentially my OC now. Fuck off, DC, you didn’t treat her right. Let me take over.

Her overall arc so far, and what I’ve got planned for her in the future. I’ve had a lot of fun writing her as a relatively friendly and carefree young adult, and even more fun knowing that her high spirits are running on borrowed time. Know this: a day will come where Lindsay and Jonathan are indistinguishable except by gender and physical presentation. And it will hurt. A lot.

The way established rogues and heroes react to her. At first, they hear she’s the Scarecrow’s protege and think well, here comes a fight. But she’s just hyped to see real supers in person and wants a selfie. Also please don’t tell Jon. He’ll get furious if he hears she was acting buddy buddy with his nemeses.

Edward Nygma (coming soon)

Fashion. Eddie is one of my two muses who are obsessed with and adore fashion. Granted, that doen’t mean you’ll like his fashion. Au contrare, you’ll likely see him and think why is this man wearing so many prints at the same time? Well, that’s the riddle, ain’t it? It got you looking at him though. And that’s the point, moron!

My aggressively queer son. He is gnc and when asked his gender his response is a simple “Figure it out, dummy.” Don’t let the flamboyance lull you into an easy assumption that he’s strictly into men, though. And don’t let his flirtatiousness make you think he’s actually got any follow-through.

He’s Just Plain Fun. His banter and his style are just a hoot, fam. Fuck I miss this rowdy riddle boy.

@whats-a-clever-username​ asked

4. What old character would you love to bring back? 12. Do you prefer writing main or minor canon characters?

Old Characters I’d Like to Bring Back

Recently I tried to bring back my Riddler blog and whatnot but Tumblr decided to terminate my account without notice or explanation, so there’s that. Other than Ed, tho, I’m always itching to bring back my favorite character I ever rped for D&D, an angel named after the star Deneb bc that’s the origin of his birth. He was a paladin who served the Celestial Order and fought against demons, only to realized that morality is much more gray than he was originally indoctrinated to believe. He’s got the combat knowhow of a billion-year-old sentient star warrior and the social and practical knowledge of a 5 year old child. Amongst my D&D group, every time we see someone very competent fail at something they should be able to do, we call it pulling a Deneb. For example, he once jumped down a well because he was unfamiliar w the concept of gravity and did not know it would injure him. Soft space boy responsible for many lost worlds, purged in the Holy Culling, and ever chased by his guilt for what he’s done on behalf of his order. I’d bring him to Tumblr if for a fucking second if I thought he’d stand a chance at actually garnering some interest from the rpc. Also, ngl, never rped a fandomless OC before and how to go abt doing is a complete mystery to me, lol.

Main vs. Minor Characters

Tbh, after writing both main and minor canon characters, I think I have more fun writing minor characters because there’s so much less likelihood of people coming into my ask to tell me X or Y is out of character, and because I get to pretty much come up w the entire characterization on my own. Of course that’s not to say I like writing for @bloody-merry​ more than I do for Jon, here, but that’s due to years and years of development and tender love and care I’ve shelled out for this particular blog.

The possibility that Linda could reenter his life and do so without actively trying to manipulate and cause him damage is a tempting concept, indeed. Jonathan’s jaw sets, hardening his temples and steeling his gaze. His coffee is more bitter than normal. With a spike of bravery, fueled by resentment, he locks eyes with her and clenches a fist inside his pocket.

“Prove it.”

I’ve had this good girl in my freezer for over a year now, finally got her out to pin her. She’s a European Mantis(Mantis religiosa), she laid two oothecae before she died which did not hatch and I plan to display them alongside her. I ended up having to put pins through her wings as I couldn’t get the paper to make them sit quite right, but I’m still proud of this second attempt at insect pinning!
