Niles Crane

Greetings and Salutations! I am Dr. Niles Crane, and I live in Seattle, where I conduct private practice. Call my office, and I'll get right back to you. Remember I am Jungian, not a Freudian like my brother. There'll be no blaming mother today! (Indie Niles Crane. Read the rules!) Disclaimer: I am not a psychiatrist; do not actually take any advice. On slight hiatus.

For the sake of character development, feel free to ask me anything you would like to know or are unsure of about my muse.

[ithinkyoucancallmenilesnow]

I would like to say that I am so terribly sorry for being away for so long. I don’t know why I just haven’t been motivated, and I know I say I’ll try, but this time, I really will try. And btw, I’m probably going to make a sideblog for Bernard from The Santa Clause.

“Well, I was different. I dressed differently than all the other kids, even at a very young age. I had a unique style.” He paused only a second before quickly adding, “I still do.” He wanted that to be made clear to the doctor. “I dressed in all black and wore dark makeup. Some of my biggest heroes came right out of whatever horror film was popular at the time. My aunt writes horror stories, so stuff like that was very normal for us.”

“Everyone just assumed a lot of things by the way I looked. I may have made things worse, I don’t know. Somewhere along the way, I figured it was better if they feared me. Maybe they’d leave me alone. I’d do things, like pretend to put curses on people. I’d pretend to be possessed by the devil.”

He wore a big smile, as he continued. “One time, I even bit the head off of a squirrel. It wasn’t real, but they didn’t know that. It was stuffed. My aunt had a few taxidermied animals around the house. I had a packet of fake blood in my room and I decided to put it to use. A group of kids had followed me home that day. They had thrown rocks at me the whole way there. After that, everyone thought I had rabies. I missed about a week of school. It wasn’t because I was sick. The fake blood had stained my skin. I knew that if they saw it, they’d figure out my prank.”

Niles wouldn’t admit that if he witnessed any of those ‘curses’ and ‘biting the head off a squirrel,’ he would probably be a bit frightened as well; he was a bit disconcerted by Oliver’s smile as he recalled his prank. However... he understood the need to ‘become’ the person that everyone thought he was. “And did doing any of these things actually make them leave you alone?” 

[ithinkyoucancallmenilesnow]

“I wouldn’t say that. Kids just didn’t like me. I was different.” He looked down at his hand, studying his fingernails. “They’d follow me home from school, throw rocks at me. They started rumors that only got worse over the years. But I had ways of getting them to leave me alone. I scared them. I figured it was better to be feared than hated. I never did anything to them, until they started to do things to me. They had absolutely no reason to dislike me.”

Niles jotted down the notes on his notepad, nodding while he spoke. “Kids are often cruel for no reason. I should know.” He smiled thinly. “What sort of rumors did they spread?” 

[justanothermusex]

“They started small, you know, kid stuff. They said I was possessed, that I had the devil inside of me…” He started to count each thing on his fingers as he spoke. “They said I was the devil, I drank chicken blood, that I was a witch… All that kind of stuff. It all had a general theme.” He chuckled softly, wearing a huge grin. “Oh, and my personal favorite, they thought I killed my parents.”

[ithinkyoucancallmenilesnow]

Niles’s mouth fell open slightly as he listed off the rumors. They weren’t small, like ‘he’s a bedwetter’ or anything, but rather disturbing. “My, that’s quite a list,” he said once he finished writing them down. “If you don’t mind my asking, why would they say such things?”

Mason walked into the psychiatrist’s office. He approached his desk and extended his hand. “I’m Mason King. It’s very nice to meet you, Dr. Crane.”

He sat down in the seat across from the desk. He was very comfortable, showing no signs of anxiousness. It wasn’t his first time seeing a psychiatrist.

[ithinkyoucancallmenilesnow]

Niles nodded politely as he took Mason’s hand. After the man took a seat, he noticed how calm he was. 

“You seem comfortable,” Niles commented, instead of merely pondering on what could make him seem that way. 

[justanothermusex]

“Well, I’ve been in this situation before. I’ve been to quite a few doctors, ever since I was very young. Mental health is a big priority in my life. He smiled. “May I say, I have a lot of respect for you and what you do.”

[ithinkyoucancallmenilesnow]

Niles smiled back. “Yes, it is, and thank you for the compliment. What brings you here today?” 

[justanothermusex]

“Well, I was seeing someone… a psychiatrist, but he moved out of the area. I’m hoping you’ll be a great fit for me, otherwise, I’ll have to travel quite a ways to find a new doctor. I’ve been reading up on you. It would seem that you’re very good.”

[ithinkyoucancallmenilesnow]

Niles tried not to let his head became inflated, but it wasn’t everyday he was the good psychiatrist, especially when his brother was loved by the masses. He gave Mason a nod and said, “It is my life’s work to help anyone in need.” 

[insanitys-love-blog]

please reblog if you are a role player and are still active on tumblr

I’ve decided to make a master list of all rp’ers since I can’t barely find anyone that’s active and since that I don’t want other to have search religiously to find that one role player that rp’s as that one character we can never find alone.

I'd like to know more about this Gotham City brother

“Oh... very well. His name is Jonathan. Let’s just say he’s had... some trouble with the law. And fear inducing drugs. He had the promise to be a wonderful psychiatrist, but he chose a different way to live his life.” 

[ithinkyoucancallmenilesnow]

"It's been a while." (It has!)

(I knooow! I hate how unmotivated I get lol) 

“That sounds mildly threatening.” 

[ithinkyoucancallmenilesnow]

Frasier and I have another brother in Gotham City. We don’t talk about him much.

“It’s Been a Long Time” Sentence Starters

Muse A and Muse B haven’t seen each other in years.  Put one of these sentences in my ask to have your muse react to seeing my muse again after such a long time.

“It’s been awhile.”

“I can explain.”

“You’re supposed to be dead.”

“How did you get here?”

“Please don’t leave me again.”

“I need you to tell me the truth about where you’ve been.”

“I never thought I’d see you again.”

“I never stopped looking for you.”

“Please don’t pretend like you don’t know me!’

“How dare you show your face around here!”

“What are you doing in a place like this?”

“You haven’t changed one bit.”

“Why did you just walk away like that?”

How awesome that I found these TV Guide pages online! Almost like seeing the episode for the first time since I didn’t fall in love with the show or even watch an episode until 2010!

[ithinkyoucancallmenilesnow]

I’ve been watching izombie (which takes place in Seattle), and I kind of want to do a verse where Blaine turns Niles into a zombie. (I’m not caught up, btw; I just started s2.)

@ithinkyoucancallmenilesnow

Oliver sat across from his new doctor. He stayed silent, refusing to be the first to speak. He wasn’t so sure he had made the right decision when he made the appointment.

[ithinkyoucancallmenilesnow]

Niles examined the man before him, He looked nervous and didn’t seem to be the first to speak, but that was to be expected. It was always nerveracking being in front of a psychiatrist. 

“Good afternoon. My name is Dr. Niles Crane. We’ll be going on a journey together, and i hope by the end of it, you will have a new outlook on your life.” 

[justanothermusex]

Oliver still didn’t speak. He studied the doctor very carefully. He couldn’t help but roll his eyes at his words. “All of that sounds cheesy as hell.”

He rolled up the sleeves of his black, button up shirt. His forearms, now exposed, were completely covered in colorful tattoos. He crossed one leg over the other and leaned back in his chair.

“So, do I just start talking or are you going to ask me questions?”

[ithinkyoucancallmenilesnow]

Niles raised his eyebrows as the man suddenly looked very comfortable in his office. He smiled slightly at his words, not offended at all. Of course, this didn’t mean this would be easy. Even the most comfortable looking people had their issues. 

“Why don’t you tell me about your childhood, Mr. Stone?” 

[justanothermusex]

“You guys always go right for the childhood, don’t you?” He sighed, looking down at his hands. “My parents… uh, my mother is dead. She died when I was very young. I was raised by my aunt, her sister. We didn’t have much while I was growing up.”

He glanced up at the doctor. “I got straight A’s. I graduated at the top of my class, but I refused to give a speech, so they have valedictorian to someone else. I skipped a lot of my senior year anyways. I had a job. I started working forty hours a week at fifteen.”

[ithinkyoucancallmenilesnow]

“It’s in the psychiatry handbook,” Niles joked before Oliver went into his childhood. Niles took notes as he spoke, nodding every so often. He didn’t sound like he had an awful childhood, but… “So, growing up without a mother, growing up without much, straight A’s, working so much at such a young age. Did you feel overly stressed or frustrated?”  

[justanothermusex]

“Stressed? Frustrated?” Oliver produced something between a scoff and a chuckle. “Compared to what I feel now, no. Back then, I didn’t even know what frustration was. Things were simple then. I was just like every other kid. I had a normal childhood. You know, people were assholes, of course. Kids are cruel… but I had ways of protecting myself.“

[ithinkyoucancallmenilesnow]

Niles’s eyes narrowed. He was no stranger to the cruelness of children, but the way Oliver said it seemed somewhat troubling. “While I am interested to know what can be making your life so frustrating now, I must ask. Were you bullied, Mr. Stone?”
