SCAREBAT FIC RECS:

Equivalency Series by @neyiea

The evolving relationship of Jonathan Crane and Bruce Wayne.

Working with the Dark: Their excursion into the Green Zone had proven fruitful, but not everyone seems to have had as good a time as Scarecrow.

There’s an Echo of Myself in You: “Tell me, Bruce, what do you think you would see if I used my fear-toxin on you?”

Bruce looks straight into Jonathan’s eyes, keeping his face purposefully impassive as he says, “Nothing that I haven’t already lived through. Nothing that hasn’t already made me stronger.”

Tell Me a Scary Story: It’s difficult to have a proper date in No Man’s Land, but they make do in their own way. 

notes: this series makes me lose my whole mind! i don’t think my words would do it any justice. the development of bruce & jonathan’s relationship, the slow-build of trust, jonathan’s reluctant character development…amazing. stupendous. everything i could ever want. 

Spooked by @neyiea

Bruce somehow gets wrangled into tagging along on Selina and Bridgit’s date to a haunted house. It goes about as well as he expects it to (which is to say; not at all) and his hair-trigger reflexes are set off at the worst possible moment. 

Or:

How Jonathan got kicked while working at his seasonal job, but he also got a cute boy’s phone number.

notes: meet-cutes! an alternate universe where teenagers are allowed to be happy! background bridgit/selina! the whole package! 

a moment at the start of history by @queergordon

It must a Wednesday, Jonathan rationalizes. Because it used to be a Sunday, on Sunday something went wrong, in his office. Visions, yes, and acidic smell, sharp and bitter, he recalls this – and then Monday, in his bed, fighting a migraine. Tuesday, yesterday, he’s not sure what he did. But it must be Wednesday, and the visions came back, rushed in like a great, black nasty tidal wave.

notes: no exaggeration….i think of this fic like once a week. it’s set in the future where bruce is established as batman and its just……..please read it. 

tomorrow? by @alpacasandravens

It’s No Man’s Land, and Bruce finds out that maybe he and the Scarecrow aren’t so different after all. (a scarebat story somehow featuring neither dark!bruce nor a redeemed!jonathan)

notes: both a really good relationship study AND character study for both jonathan and bruce, that deals really well with how complicated any relationship between the two would be. somehow still manages to be really tender!

those nights by @alpacasandravens

“Friend.” The word is so soft as to be almost unintelligible, and Bruce thinks it probably came from an original sentence where the other words were too quiet to be heard. Something like ‘You’re my friend.’ This was complicated territory. Bruce is glad Jonathan considers them to be friends, but he’s not sure if he would consider Jonathan his friend. At sixteen, Jonathan was an enemy, and at nineteen he would have liked to use the word ‘boyfriend,’ and now - enemy again? ‘Friend’ seems like an oversimplification.

It’s never simple, not in No Man’s Land or when Bruce returns to Gotham after 10 years, but they do their best.

notes: sometimes….things that are canon…..hurt the most. listen. listen. this is SO good and SO painful and just thinking about it drives me crazy. it’s non-chronological which honestly i think is one of my favorite parts but it also makes it hurt so much more. 

Blue Ink by @she-loves-you

high school au where bruce and jonathan sit at the same table throughout the day (like they both take the same history class but bruce is first period and jonathan is last) and because it’s so fucking boring they doodle on the desks until one day they start writing messages to each other. and one time bruce shows up after school to ask the teacher a question and he catches jonathan writing and he’s like “oh fuck he’s c u t e”

notes: listen. i read this and i was like. jenny slate /SCREAMS/ another really adorable, fluffy fic for when you don’t want to deal with the stress of canon.

a murder of crows by aesthetically

He’d expected Bruce Wayne to flee from Gotham, tail tucked between his legs like the rest of those who could afford it.

Oh, and how wrong he was.

notes: this is the fic that made me crawl back to gotham with my tail between my legs. it’s just unbelievably fun and jonathan’s characterization made me !!!

MY FICS (AKA SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION):

now, i don’t want to self promote too much……but i also have a few scarebat fics you might be interested in!

i don’t want to rest in peace Series by @jeromevalseka

Post-canon exploration centered around the question: what would happen if Bruce and Jonathan met?

take the white pill (you’ll feel alright): In his defense, Bruce doesn’t mean to sleep with the Scarecrow.

and i want to fight but i can’t contend: Jonathan knew fear, just like he knew that Bruce Wayne was running from his own. That wouldn’t do.

in the face of blind optimism: Jim Gordon had been enjoying a quiet day in the office. Then Jonathan Crane was arrested.

notes: since these are my fics i won’t say much. BUT if you’re looking for character studies as well as plot you make enjoy them! 

step into my candy store by @jeromevalseka

Jeremiah wasn’t the only thing lurking in the Dark Zone.

notes: tldr, jonathan is horny and an asshole.

our lips are getting looser by @jeromevalseka

“You wanna get high?”

It’s a bad idea and Bruce knows it. Of course, that doesn’t mean he says no.

notes: high school au & shotgunning!!!!!!!!!!! like. 90% shotgunning. that’s literally it. 

say you can’t breathe without me by @jeromevalseka

In one world, Thomas and Martha Wayne give birth to a healthy baby boy who they name Bruce. He becomes a hero.

This is not that world.

notes: an au with fem!scarebat wherein bruce isn’t a hero and jonathan definetly isn’t one either.

Ooohh, adding an 8th year in Hogwarts? Very interesting 👀 I also think is wild that once kids left Hogwarts they can inmediatly work in the magical world outside. But maybe you can always make Cedric stay/return without adding a extra year? He coud be at the school for an apprenticeship?, or work at Hogsmeade? Well, is up to you, whatever you decide is fine and probably will come out with something ingenious (I’m the same anon of before by the way, no need to reply if you don’t want)

yeah, i mean: an 8th year has to be added for Cedric to be here.... like at all lmao 💀 i’ve kinda gotten away with not explicitly mentioning it just bc everyones happy that Ced’s here (same), but after i finish adapting OoTP, i really don’t know where else to go from there; i mean i have a lot of ideas for DH since theres more flexibility for Cedric to be there but..... i feel like an adaptation of HBP would have limited hedric interaction, just because, (spoilers alert i guess).... just because i think once he graduates, Cedric would join the Order?

like rather than an apprenticeship or working at Hogsmeade which sounds lovely and something he for sure Deserves, im too committed to the grime and the cold shift and reality of the universe! and i also think sort of the acceleration and responsibility that Cedric’ll feel would compel him to join the Order. 

in a hedric fic, having Cedric and Harry constantly at each others sides, like ‘within easy reach’ is something that makes total and complete sense but .... i kinda wanna play with and break it????

💀💀💀💀 absence makes the heart grow fonder right? LMFAO 

jk im just trying really hard to make them stand-alone characters that are distinct from their romance: ik this is a hedric fic but im trying not to fall into the sorta traps and stereotypes um, that i’ve seen in other fics just bc like they’re people and characters in a story before they are a queer ship right? that’s always how i’ve looked at them but idk! 

FUCK that was a weird tangent and not even a part of your question SORRY!

TL;DR lots of things are up in the air, it would be interesting if i adapted HBP and focused more on Harry and Hermione and Ron..... rather than a romance (if people were interested in reading that) or just tinker around the worldbuilding, because i have a lot of grievances about certain portrayals: S.P.E.W., Slytherins, Ministry.... i have to read HBP first lmfao but i think it would be a shorter fic than safn or a DH adaptation: maybe i’ll just focus on like moments throughout that year..... but idk! i’ll finish OoTP first. 

thanks for following up!

[meme-ntomori]

I do agree with you here, really! I truly would like to see them as stand-alone characters in your story, they don’t have to be together or close all the time or see each other often to have amazing chemistry and to have good character dynamics :) I feel like being a little more realistic (however weird that may sound when we talk about the wizarding world. realistic in terms of developing a human relationship?? I hope you get what I mean) would make the story more engaging

Also I think after what Cedric has been through he would totally join the order and be determined to fight and to risk his life even and to battle his fears for a good cause. That of course doesn’t mean he’ll forget about Harry, no

I imagine that... after a long time of separation, of not seeing each other, Cedric being too busy with what the Order tasks him to do, not having time to rest or even to think, his mind occupied with the daunting threat, and then finally he sees Harry and he’s suddenly crushed with this realization of just how much he missed him 🥺

this was not at all what u asked for but could u possibly make a safn!hp quiz?

ok ik u sent this months ago im so sorry but i finally made it im so sorry anon: which character from “stay alive for now” are you?

feel free to reblog and tell me what u got in the tags :)

[meme-ntomori]

WOW I LOVE THIS UQUIZ 

it’s clear how much thought and heart you’ve put into this, the way you phrased the questions as though it was a journey through hogwarts (or maybe through yourself) made it feel like an experience of discovery rather than a simple quiz. thank you so much for making this! 

I got Remus! An that is totally on point, I am a hermit and I do tend to distance myself from other people for fear of hurting them or getting hurt myself 

p.s. I would love to know which answers are for which characters, as I can only take my guesses

Glow up tips/ideas

Here’s my little guide how to glow up in your life:

First, get your life together:

Organise and clean your home -Having clean home will make you feel better and lighter and therefore you will be more positive.

Have a life admin day -Write down all the stuff that needs to be done, all the appointments you need to get and everything that needs to be fixed. Then schedule in a day every month or every two weeks when you tick off these thing off your list.

Do your damn laundry

Create routines -They can be long and strict or short and very opened

Fight procrastination in all the ways you can

Take your mediaction and have regular health check ups

Now it’s time for mental health:

Make sure you eat and drink water regularly

Get a therapist if you feel like you need/want one

Practise your hobbies or find new ones

Listen to your favourite music

Meditate

Create a happy atmosphere for yourself -Buy plants and flowers, let your favourite music play in the background, let in as much ligh as you can.

Warm beverages

Be as positive as you can

Try to complain less

Don’t talk shit about people, especially not behind their back -You spread negative energy and hurt yourself in the process.

Say nice things to people, compliment them as much as you can -Being nice to poeple will affect your own mood for the better.

Talk about what you love, not what you hate

Get enough fresh air.

Glow up your mind!:

Read more books -Does not matter the genre

Watch movies and series

Learn new language -Even if it’s just a few words

Watch documents

Talk to people smarter than you

Try learning random fact every day

Find a new hobby

Think of ways to make your life better and help your surrounding -Minimalism? Zero waste? Vegetarian? It depends on you.

Find a new friend

Help people

And lastly the physical glow up:

Find out how much sleep you need and stick to it -Usually 8 hours are the norm

Play around with make up -You will fail and it might look wonky from the beginning. And maybe you won’t even like it. I want you to experiment.

Make sure to go make-up-less sometimes if you wear it often

Drink water -It won’t magically clear your skin completely but it will get better.

Wash your face in the morning and in the evening, but no soap if possible

Use as little skin products as you can -Sometimes less is more.

Lip balm

Eat vegetables every day -Every. single. day. It’s the best thing I have ever done for myself.

Eat oatmeal -It did wonders for my hair.

Stretch regularly

Exercise -Find something you have fun doing and do it as often as possible.

Avoid food with too much grease and sugar -You can have it but try to reduce it.

Prepare your outfit the night before -It gives you time to think about what you’ll wear and it’s nice to have it ready in the morning.

Get clothes you feel good and confident in

Get your dream hair colour! -Get crazy if you want

Learn to be comfortable with your body

Don’t shower every day -I know, I know… but listen… It’s actually much healthier for your skin to shower every other day and wash your hair even less. Plus it saves a lot of water.

Get a perfume -Have a scent

Get enough sun -You don’t have to be tan but getting sun on your skin is very healthy and it’s visible in other ways than tan.

Smile and spread joy

If you’re happy, show it -It’s contagious

Remember that beauty comes from within. That is why I put these tips in that order.

I hope I helped and have a great year!
