Scream Hosannas Of Anguish

Scarecrow side blog. Hi, I’m Mars! I write headcanons and scenarios (maybe in the future I will write fanfiction) for MOF Jonathan Crane. Feel free to send in asks or requests (nothing nsfw please). Asks are always open unless otherwise specified

I was like “I know Jon looks like his dad, I wonder what my version of it would look like” and then I got way too into it.

I often wonder how Jonathan Crane would end up if he had loving, supportive parents. Perhaps he wouldn't cultivate an obsessed with terror, but rather one for helping people.

I know, I know. He's an evil person

But imagine if you will: a set of parents who don't torture him with self taught crows or use him for their own sick and twisted research.

And instead they instill within him a love for reading and teaching.

What would that Jonathan Crane be like?

Would he want to teach children, or perhaps his life circles the same professorial path and he works at Gotham University. Perhaps he is supported by the same parents monetarily and doesn't end up a symbol of poverty (and fear)

It's interesting to think about. Yeah, he would be entirely different--but I think that's the point. To imagine a world were he is loved, supported and thrives.

It's a nice thought.

The different stages of Jonathan Crane.

Artist headcanon ramblings under the cut 👇

I had the idea to do this for a while to explore my hc of Jon. I draw characters out a lot first instead of write things down since that’s how I “get to know them”. Anyway, I like year one’s canon but I found it to conflict whenever I wanted to draw him with crows since he’s scared of them. But when I drew him at age 12 holding up a crow, I think I figured out a storyline.

[TW child abuse, childhood trauma, self harm]

He used to find comfort in them at first, as he considered them his only friends. Granny Keeny didn’t like that he was happy so then the events of year one followed, in which she would make the crows attack him. Because of this, what once was a source of comfort became a source of fear and trauma. I think this would further hammer in the idea of how powerful fear can be.

Later on in life he still grew up with that fear. He was scared of a lot of things. I also really like the comic that portrayed him as someone who was addicted to fear (Batman: Black and White - Fear is the Key)

Eventually, he sought to surround himself with crows and take care of them as a way to relive the traumatic event. On a surface level, it’s because he feels addicted to fear and controlling when and how it happens to him in order to study and use it to then control people the way it controls him.

On a deeper level, I think he does it to self harm, and in a strange way, to self soothe. I think here the crow is a symbol of his relationship with fear just as much as the scarecrow. In the sense that, even if something or someone has brought you feelings of hurt, trauma, and fear, they can still be comforting. Because it’s familiar, because it’s all you know. And fear is all Jon knows.

I came up with this AU four years ago, but I never ended up sharing it.

We know that Jonathan Crane designs his Scarecrow costumes himself, he draws and sews them. And it occurred to me: what if things had gone differently and he had channeled his passion for studying fear in another way?

May I present to you Jonathan Crane - renowned horror avant-garde fashion designer and founder of the fashion house "SCARECROW."

Oh, and Edward Nygma is here too. He's one of his main models
