Hi! I'm J, I'm 20 and a nonbinary trans man. On this blog, I will only post Scarecrow fanfics and headcanons. I had a previous blog, but I was at risk of being doxxed by someone who wasn't part of the Scarecrow fandom because I accidentally misunderstood and interacted with an illiterate transphobe who then proceeded to stalk me :) I will not be getting into any discourse on this blog, it is strictly for fanfiction. Anyway, that's as much as I'll get into it because I don't want another shitstorm.
I will write male, gn, and trans man reader because that's what I'm comfortable with. I will mainly write BTAS, TNBA, and Arkham Knight Scarecrow because they're my faves, but I will write for a few more Scarecrows too.

You hated spring in Gotham.
It was wet, cold, and the weather never seemed like it knew what it wanted to do. Even now, as soft rays of sun peeked through the cloudy sky, it seemed like the sun was desperately trying to come out and make itself known. The grass was muddy, the smell of earth and petrichor clinging to your nose. It’d rained recently, but still lingered in that in-between stage where new life was trying to emerge from Gotham’s rotten roots.
“What are you thinking?” Jonathan’s voice beside you suddenly caught your attention.
Your gaze slid his way. You were sitting together on a small bench in Robinson Park. In the summer, long stretches of green lawn expanded for several yards, flowers bloomed bright and colorful in their flower pots, and the tree leaves swayed gently in the breeze. But now, in this weather, everything carried an air of dead to it. The grass was browned, plants wilted, life struggling to begin anew.
You really, really hated this time of year.
“I’m thinking it was a stupid idea to come out here,” you sighed, shoving your hands into your jacket pockets.
His head tilted to the side, dark eyes casting a curious glance your way. Orange locks of hair fell into his eyes, but he made no move to brush them away. His lips pressed into a thin line, and slight crease appeared in between his brows.
“Why?” he asked, his tone an obvious press for an answer.
“Because everything is just…ew. Just dead,” you replied, almost a child-like whine. As if in protest, you swung your legs against the bench as if you were on a swing set.
Jonathan smirked, a low chuckle emanating from his throat. Carefully, his large hand hovered over your own, before he gently placed it atop your palm. His long fingers threaded against yours, his skin warm and calloused from so many weeks of work. The feel of his skin made your heart leap into your throat, your blood rush through your ears.
“But what is death if not simply a cycle of life, my dear?” he asked. He squeezed his hand in yours, and your stomach tightened with excitement in response. He nodded off to the right, making you cast your gaze in the same direction.
There, just a few yards away, was a woman who was busy feeding several crows. She sat on a bench, tossing birdseed onto the concrete at her feet while the crows hopped around and greedily ate up what they could. Nearby, you noticed some of the plants taking root next to her had begun to bloom. The wilted ivy and petals had withered and crumbled away, making room for new plant life to grow in all its green, life-like glory. The bud of a rose was just beginning to blossom. Your breath caught in your throat, a sudden happiness swelling in your chest at the sight.
“See?” Jonathan said, and as he spoke, his fingers drifted upwards to tuck a lock of hair behind your ear, his fingertips delicately skimming against your flesh. “All you need to do is observe a little closer, and you’ll see that new life can be found everywhere you look.”
He was right: now that you were noticing it, you couldn’t unsee it. The vibrant plants beginning to emerge from the thawing ground, the animals coming out of their hidey holes to bathe in the peeking sunlight, the smell of fresh grass on the wind. It was oddly…comforting. Reminding you that every season brought change and something new.
You laughed, finally looking to him again, watching his lips turn upwards. “Okay, I see your point, Dr. Crane. Thank you for blessing me with your scientific wisdom.”
“One doesn’t need to be a scientist to know that change is not something to be afraid of,” he replied, though his eyes narrowed slightly. “Unless you are afraid, my dear?”
You looked back at the view around you, taking it all in. Maybe, once upon a time, his guess at your fear might’ve been correct. But the way he’d opened your eyes to the ever-changing world around you dissipated that fear, dissolved it, melded it into something more – into a comforting joy you couldn’t quite explain. Like something you’d bottled up inside no longer had a reason to take up space in your mind and heart anymore.
Smiling, you said, “Not anymore, Jonathan. Not anymore.”
And as you spoke, the clouds in the sky began to part, casting golden rays of sunshine down onto the both of you. You sighed, leaning against him and resting your head against his shoulder. He smelled of chemicals, but you didn’t mind.
Because right now, in this very moment, you had nothing to be afraid of anymore.
❣️ 'What makes them blush/gets their heart pounding', 🌸 'How often do they say I love you' and 😎 'How do they impress their s/o' for the BTAS Dork Squad? Love reading your emoji headcanons!!
Yay I'm so glad you're enjoying them! These are fun to do!
❣️- What makes them blush/gets their heart pounding
Honestly, I think this will go for all three of them but please praise and compliment these dorks. Tell them how clever they are, how handsome they are (especially Jervis and Jon).
🌸- How often do they say I love you
BTAS Riddler
Maybe once or twice a day, typically when he wakes up and before bed. He may throw an extra in there if his partner is being overly cute or does something thoughtful.
BTAS Mad Hatter
He wants to say it all the time but also doesn't want the words to lose meaning (words can be costly you know, especially when you want them to say more than one thing). He definitely says it most out of the three. Definitely when his partner wakes up and before they go to bed. Honestly his partner just has to be near him, perfectly content and he'll get the urge to tell them he loves them.
BTAS Scarecrow
Jonathan will likely wait for you to say it first and then he'll say it back. Only ever saying it maybe once or twice a week, usually when his partner does something sweet or something that ensures that they love him.
😎 - How do they impress their s/o
BTAS Riddler
By showing them his latest and greatest riddle toy OR OR this super fun new game/level he's designed that may or may not have an easter egg or two about his partner or their love.
BTAS Mad Hatter
By spoiling you every and any chance he gets. He'll have this whole city at your beck and call if you showed any interest in it (which he won't even wait on, honestly, he'll do it anyway)
BTAS Scarecrow
By making even the strongest, most influential people scream in utter terror--especially if it's anyone that has mistreated you. He wants to show you how clever and powerful he can be.
💕 💋 🥳 for BTAS Mad Hatter and Scarecrow? If you don't feel like writing for both you can choose whoever!
💕 - Their future goals in a relationship? How far do they want to take it?
BTAS Mad Hatter
This man wants nothing more than to go all the way. To be officially and properly wedded to you and you hopefully taking his last name.
BTAS Scarecrow
Jonathan is honestly overjoyed just to have you with him. He may fancy the idea of marriage but never wanting to rush or pressure you into anything, just as long as he's yours his happy.
💋 - How do they kiss?
BTAS Mad Hatter
Jervis' kisses are very tender. He's always cupping your cheek or has his arm wrapped around you.
BTAS Scarecrow
Jonathan's kisses are sweet, sometimes short because he may get overwhelmed sometimes.
🥳 - How do they cheer their s/o up when they're down?
BTAS Mad Hatter
Jervis will shower you with attention and affection...proving to be a decent distraction from what's troubling you and reminding you that you don't need to worry about anything when you're with him.
BTAS Scarecrow
Jonathan has proven time and time again to be a very good listener. He'll pay attention to what's troubling you and try to offer advice if you'd like some, but he's also more than willing to just be a supportive shoulder for you to cry on.
This was asked from @theactualdredpirateroberts who asked "Awesome 👍🏻 I'd love some Jonathan Crane and Harley Quinn playing therapist? acting as their therapist after kidnapping" I did Btas since they asked under a Btas fic.
@artisticdoofusxx
@lonleydweller
Takes place shortly after kidnapping. Scarecrow then Harley! I think there's maybe a bias because one is longer than the other...

"Darling, you know I'm more than Scarecrow, right? Perhaps this leads back to those pesky parents of yours. Never did pay enough attention to you, so you suspect anyone who does." You keep your arms crossed and defiantly look away from him and towards the couch he placed you on to do his 'therapy session.' You were tempted to put your tongue out to him but... he'd just take that as more evidence to treat you childishly.
"I can sit here until you talk to me. Or if you continue to not talk to me, I can leave you alone for a few days like you want." You slowly turn back to him, a confused look on his face. "Oh no, you don't want me to leave you alone. I'll isolate you until you want me back and are willing to talk to me, but it's an option if you continue to be stubborn."
You stay silent for a few minutes, just staring at him and his blank face. "Fine." You look away as you begin to speak. "When I was young..."

"Pumpkin! You know I used to work at Arkham for a reason, just open up!" You grumpily peel her arm wrapped around your shoulder off of you as she continues to pester you. "Just a session, I promise it'll help!" She's a lot more energetic today, but you keep your eyes on the mindless trashy t.v. show she has plastered on the screen, keeping silent instead of answering.
She jumps up from her seat and stands in front of the screen. "Well, kiddo? Wadda' ya' say? Let mommy take a crack at the beautiful brain of yours?" You just shift your head to the left to look past her, and then she shifts to the left and then you go to the right... so you go into a back in forth of movement until you give up.
Throwing your hands in the air, "Fine! What do you want to know? What do you want me to say? When I was born no one showed up to my birth including my parents!?" She pauses for a moment, processing what you said. "Now - wait. That doesn't make sense..."
'Pumpkin, Therapy can really help with traumatic events-" "Like being kidnapped and taken away from your family?" She looks away from you in momentary shame. "Yes... Like being taken care of by someone who knows better than you."
It started an argument between the two of you, and you got punished.
Does anyone know any penguin and scarecrow team ups in any comic? I've been curious to see their dynamic and i cant rly find anything when i go to google. And im too scared of twitter to ask over there :[
this is about how i think 4 different versions of scrow would react to a sloppy makeout sesh with a little bit of touchiness
click Keep Reading to see my opinions
BTAS scrow:
the kissing woud have to start out rather chaste.. bcus he is a twinge nervous. but when u let your hands wander he might get a little horny and get more into it... he is not used to kissing with tongue so u will have to ease him into it a bit... he might whimper a little while u french kiss... and he will put his hands over yours as u guide them over his body.. when u pull away to catch some air he will look at u with embarrassing pathetic need. u will have to initiate the next action, prob kissing his neck... which will make him even hornier. Paw at his cock while u kiss him....
TNBA scrow:
he is not at all used to receiving kisses or any affection at all really. he also would not expect to receive such affection due to his appearance. one would most likely initiate the makeout sesh by giving him a little kiss on his exposed teeth which might startle him, prompting u to kiss other areas like his neck and face to perhaps get him to warm up to the concept of a sloppy makeout sesh. eventually he will understand what u want to do and it will make his stomach bubble with butterflies... when u kiss his teeth next he will part them and slip his tongue thru and before u know it u will both be slobbering all over each other and pawing at each other. i think he would like to have his hair played with and tugged on during it and he might utter some husky moans
Salecrow:
i feel like he loves using his mouth a lot. and he isnt quite as shy as the other scrows, so it wont take too long for gentle kissing to devolve into a sloppy makeout sesh with lots of tongue. he is fairly quiet during it but hisses out sharp breaths and tiny whines every now and then. he also likes to run his long spidery fingers all over u and scratch at u with his sharp nails. he loves kissing u with his tongue and will probably not want to stop even if the sesh turns into something crazy like sex or something. if u touch between his legs at any point during the french kissing he will grind into your hand and hold u Very tight to him so he can keep slurping your face away
MOF scrow:
he knows the ins and outs of a sloppy makeout sesh by heart... for he has read many an adult book containing information on the matter. but he has never partaken in such an endeavor himself... so at first hes a little messy with it. im afraid u will have to teach him how to kiss... and it will be awkward while he very nervously tries to do all the sexy things hes read about, but really his horniness overwhelms his nervousness. so while he gets the hang of french kissing, u have to also teach him how to be patient and go thru the motions of foreplay a little.. bcus hes so horny and impatient hes practically dry humping u! hes a little embarrassed bcus this isnt how hed thought it would go, especially after all his research on how to be a suave and sexy gentleman... but he hardly cares anymore kissing gets him so horny!!!
im cutting it off there rn bcus i cant rlly think properly in terms of other scrows. but i hope u enjoyed. i want to fill in info for the arkham scrows but as i was writing arkham shadow scrows blurb i started losing steam

Just….happy Jonathan being who he really is on the inside.
Feel free to add on my trans followers! Trans Jon is a GREAT headcanon!
Jonathan would never dead-name you, heck he doesn't even know what a dead-name is (bless him) so I suppose you could play tricks on him if wanted. Honestly, he probably just accepts your name like a normal person.
He doesn't realize you're trans at first, doesn't even matter if you pass because to him you're just one of his male friends but with a weirder haircut. (not that he's judging) So as you two get to know him, you might wanna drop the ball. But be cautious, he's gonna be very curious from a medical perspective. Of course, you being tans doesn't change his mind about you. Just broadened his horizons (this is a boy from the south, remember that) Remember, he values character, not what's in your pants.
Romantic:
Maybe you two decide to date. Maybe he develops feelings.Jonathan is very closeted due to internalize trauma and great granny. It takes him some time to admit these feelings, because he really values your friendship and doesn't want to ruin it.
BUT. get this. Things change once he "comes out" to you. He becomes much more assertive and more like the man you know and love. He's not hiding himself anymore, perhaps he even admits his rogue doings.
I could see you two growing really close. Perhaps even in villainy. He's still curious about the whole "I'm gay, you're trans" thing but he more or less treats you with respect. By this, I mean he has a lot of questions and can get handsy but he's still figuring it out. Give him time.
OH YEAH. And you two wear matching pride flag pins. His is on his scarecrow hat <3
- This relationship is not entirely healthy but also not entirely unhealthy
- He started off stalking you because you peaked his interest and would try to interact with you as much as he could, though he never hurt you or even gassed you, the worst he did was frightening you just by being him
- He confesses his interest in you first, if you like him back great, if you don't, he still wants to see you every so often
- He gets possessive and jealous sometimes
- He's eccentric and there's always a method to his madness that isn't clear but always works out. Like he'll escape in a way that has you sure he died, and he'll pop up the next day like nothing happened.
- He's very touchy and sometimes fidgets with your clothes or hair without realizing it
- He introduces you to his crows
- He was abused by his mother (hence why he killed her) so try to be sensitive about that for his sake
- He sometimes plays around with toys because he feels like it, he feels safe with you and sometimes age regresses (due to trauma from his mom) and only comes clean about it to you once he knows he can trust you
- If anyone dares hurt you, he will kill them unless you talk him out of it
- He loves his cake, he has a mega sweet tooth. If something is too sugary for your taste, give it to him pls
Disclaimer: people who age regress are usually not harmful in any way and are more often victims than perpetrators.
Update: I'm reading up on Salecrow again. I won't promise anything, but I'm hoping to make headcanons about y/n being with him romantically, hopefully soon
Well hello, Miss Ditty! Thoughts on Crane for J, M, and W?
J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)
Very much a man who hates the inconvenience of having to jerk off. He will if his thoughts are too distracting but it's very much a clinical 'let's get this over with' type mentality. Doesn't really drag out or savour the experience but did once try to edge himself, failed miserably, and never tried again cause it was embarrassing.
M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)
Crane is one of those men who is unfortunately prone to arousal from the slightest thing. Cock like a bloodhound and it takes every inch of his willpower to keep it from showing. Has a thing for heartbeats, flashes of skin, and even the tiniest hint of someone he finds attractive being anxious sets his wee evil body off like an alarm.
W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)
Ridiculously turned on by domestic acts and it's something he doesn't discover he's into until he actually has a partner who will wash his dishes and clean his clothes etc. But the sight of his partner performing basic household duties is irresistible and he will find an excuse to grope them as they do so. He will BEG for hole.
How to get Jonathan Crane to play video games with you:
Simply pick a game that stresses you out or scares you and explain to him that if he plays with you or watches you play, he'll get to witness your stress.
My chosen game is Overcooked, that shit stresses me so much-
You were sleeping very peacefully. Sleep wrapped around you like a warm, weighted blanket. You would have slept through the whole night with ease. If it weren't for the sudden sound of a gasp and abrupt movement of the mattress knocking you out of slumber. You groaned involuntarily. You cracked your heavy eyelids open a bit and saw Jon sitting upright next to you, staring at the wall beyond the foot of the bed.
"Nightmare?" You slurred. He tensed, but didn't respond. You waited for him to speak, but it never came. "Come here." You gestured with open arms. He looked over at you, processing. "I'll cuddle you." You explained. He hesitated before letting out a deep sigh. You thought that meant 'no' and were about to just go back to sleep, when you felt his weight gently slide into your arms. You were met with his back. You were more of a backpack than a big spoon since he was taller than you, taller than most people really, but it would have to do. You held him close and felt his body loosen and his breaths steady. Before you knew it, he was snoring all over again. You followed soon after.
