I am sooooo so very normal about Arkham Shadow Jonathan Crane

[robs-your-robins]

I know Arkham is a hellhole and it's reputation for being so is well earned but the people working there are heakthcare workers and if you've ever met anyone in the heakthcare industry, you will know that they're a riot - pun intended. But I do think some of them actually care about their patients and they do have good relationships with them. And for some reason, in mipy mind they’re either near retirement or extremely Gen Z.

Harley Quinn, formerly Dr Quinzel, getting greeted by all the nurses and doctors as if she never left, being directed to her "office". It has some of her old things from her actual office, her diploma, her plastic cactus with the googly eyes. It makes her feel safe.

The RN at the desk loudly contemplating her crossword answers so the Riddler can help her out "It's DIAGONAL, Donna."

The guard who is growing weed in his basement to pay for tuition offering Poison Ivy hypotheticals to solve while she's being escorted to the yard.

Killer Croc is brought in and after he’s been calmed down and medicated, he’s pretty chill. He loves the RNs, doctors not so much, adores the secretary Lucy who always makes the same joke every time he arrives “Mr Jones, would you like the pentahouse or a city view room this time?” and he always give the same answer and tells her that he’s “Just checking in for a spell.”. It makes him feel human.

“Oh my god, Bane, could you not have waited to crashout until after the game? It was my night off, man.”

A college student working in Arkham to pay rent gets advice from Two Face about his lease and shitty apartment with the damp and mould, leading to Two Face calling up an old legal aid buddy who does that sort of work to help the kid out.

Calendar Man wishing the staff happy birthday or whatever but also telling them that they can of course have that little sweet treat they want because it is World Water Day and it would be rude not to celebrate it.

Psychiatrists discussing other patient files with Scarecrow, not enough for him to know how it is but enough detail so he can help.

The Joker being wheeled past in a straightjacket, telling one of the “good docs” that he might want to take Wednesday night off. “You know, see your rugrats and your wife. Make sure the doors are locked. Better yet, go on vacation.”

The Arkham staff have a fantasy league going on where they bet on which Rogue is going to be brought in, by which Bat and how much damage the Bat takes in the process. One of the porters slipping a $5 bill under Bane’s door asking that next time he’s in a fight, could it be Tuesday after 2am and to please punt Robin like a football, otherwise he’s out of the pool and that “bitch Mary in HR is never going to shut up”.

Having beef with some of the Bats because of what the rogues admit in therapy. One of the nurses refusing Batgirl’s help when Arkham is on fire because “You called Garfield a loser, as if he hasn’t got bad enough self esteem!”

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◆ Notifications ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Inbox1 "You’ve got a new notification. Check it before they pile up."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◆ Default Lines ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Default1 "Wait, wait. When you move around here, you shouldn’t run. The floor over there is slightly sloped."

Default2 "Sigh… Shion went and broke something again…? We’re gonna need to restock parts soon—guess I’ll stop by the store."

Default3 "Hm? Oh, this luggage? I’ve got a pretty big repair job to do now. Well—safety first. I’ll do my best."

Default4 "You’re busy again today? Yeah, same for me. You should take a break sometimes too."

Default5 "…Okay, next I’ll swing by the school building, then head back to the workshop and hand out materials… I’ll barely make it on time."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◆ Morning ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Affinity1 "I couldn’t find Shion anywhere this morning, and it turns out he was picking fights with other dorm students. Dragging him back was a pain."

Affinity14 "You’re wondering why I’m carrying this huge box in the morning? Joe asked for a “human-body-cutting” trick, and I just finished it. Yaaawn…"

Affinity15 "You think my face looks tired? Yeah… things have been hectic since yesterday. But I’m a natural short sleeper, so— I’m fine."

Affinity11 "Morning. You’re heading to class now, right? I’ve got the same class, I think… Let’s go together."

Affinity20 "[Name], morning. I’ve got work before class, so you go on ahead. I’ll catch up later."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◆ Noon ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Affinity2 "Ahh… finally I can eat… Yeah—this is basically breakfast and lunch. I’ve still got work this afternoon though. Guess I’ll keep it light."

Affinity7 "[Name]. You haven’t seen Shion around here, have you? He headed toward the school building? Sigh… I’m too late…"

Affinity16 "I’m heading to Vagastrom’s garage to do some maintenance on the equipment. If I don’t check in once in a while, it gets dangerous."

Affinity12 "Tomorrow’s test? Eh… we’ll manage somehow. If you’re that worried, I can predict what’ll be on it."

Affinity21 "Hm? Looks like there’s a bug on your head… Nope, my mistake. Sorry for stopping you."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◆ Evening ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Affinity3 "You guys can clock out for today. I’ll handle this. Yeah—good work…Alright. One more push."

Affinity6 "Oh, hey. Good work. I was just about to go to the store. Not “shopping,” exactly… More like… restocking."

Affinity8 "Ugh… It reeks like the seaside… I need to get back to the dorm and do laundry ASAP. Might as well service the washing machine too.

Affinity13 "Huh? This injury? Oh, this. Shion did it earlier. I’ll be fine—spit on it and it’ll heal."

Affinity22 "………Hm? Ah, sorry. I nodded off for a bit… When I’m with you, I don’t know why… I get sleepy."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◆ Night ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Affinity4 "……Okay. That should do it. Getting called out at this hour made me laugh, honestly. But hey—glad it’s fixed."

Affinity5 "Wait a sec… The repair I got today—wasn’t that the carpenter cat’s job…? Well… Complaining is more trouble than it’s worth."

Affinity9 "Yaaawn… I’m sleepy today, even for me. Once I clean this up, I’ll head to my room—…Seriously? My phone rings now?"

Affinity18 "About time for casino maintenance again. I’ll contact Romeo, but… I just hope we can go and come back safely this time."

Affinity23 "Can’t sleep? Want me to read you a picture book or something? Hah—just kidding. I used to get begged to do that a lot by my little brother and sister…"

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◆ Good Night ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Affinity10 "Night. If you’re worried about waking up tomorrow, I can lend you my special alarm clock—with an extra-loud alarm."

Affinity17 "Whoa! Hahaha—did I scare you? This is a new “severed head” prop. Shion asked me to make it. He wants to decorate the “Exciting House” with it."

Affinity19 "Hey, don’t tell me you’re heading home now? Guess it can’t be helped. I’ll walk you back to the dorm. I wanted to do an inspection anyway."

Affinity24 "…This is a music box my dad gave me when I was a kid. I used to listen to it when I couldn’t sleep. Try winding it up."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◆ Max Bond ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Affinity25 "Uh… I… about you—………No, never mind. Forget it…Oh, I’m being called. I’m heading out."

Season1 (Spring Morning) "You got hay fever? If you’re having a rough time, I’ll lend you this high-performance mask I made—just say the word."

Season2 (Spring Noon) "Hey—have you seen Elias? It’s been warmer lately, so he’s clearly been taking more walks."

Season3 (Spring Evening) "Who the hell told Shion that superstition—“there’s a corpse buried under the cherry tree”? This is gonna turn into a problem."

Season4 (Spring Night) "Crap… I totally nodded off… Lately I’ve been doing that during the day sometimes, too. Yaaawn…"

Season5 (Summer Morning) "Shion—where are you taking th—Tch, he already ran off. That AC unit’s not calibrated yet, so it overcools like crazy."

Season6 (Summer Noon) "So hot… If I stay holed up working in the workshop, it’s “might actually die” levels of bad. Oh—cold drink? Thanks."

Season7 (Summer Evening) "I’m gonna head to the “Waku-Waku House” for a bit… Out of the whole dorm, that place has the best air-conditioning."

Season8 (Summer Night) "You wanna do fireworks? Then Shion’s got a ton of them—like, stupid amounts… But yeah, I can’t guarantee your safety."

Season9 (Fall Morning) "'Autumn is for reading'? Yeah, no—this isn’t anything that gentle… This is Elias’s magazine collection. I’m in the middle of cleaning it up."

Season10 (Fall Noon) "I can’t go as far as calling it “art,” but… I’m confident I can show off our craftsmen’s work with pride."

Season11 (Fall Evening) "…Sorry. Something came up, so I’m gonna shut myself in the workshop for just fifteen minutes. Later."

Season12 (Fall Night) "Jo’s cooking—how do I put it—it’s not pretentious. It’s homey. Kinda hits you in the feelings. Tomorrow’s dinner is sweet potato rice, apparently."

Season13 (Winter Morning) "…You just sneezed, didn’t you? Colds are going around the academy lately, so… You be careful too, alright?

Season14 (Winter Noon) "…Hey. This is a scarf I borrowed from Jo—you think it suits me? Come on—be honest."

Season15 (Winter Evening) "Shion’s rampages this time of year are seriously brutal… It’s already freezing, and getting drenched on top of that is straight-up torture…"

Season16 (Winter Night) "[Name], give me a hand for a sec. This is my new “permanent hand-warmer.” When it cools off, you just shake it and it gets warm again. Pretty genius, right?"

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ◆ Holidays / Special (Mio) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Special1 (Mio’s Birthday) "Hm? A birthday present… for me? …Ah. Right—today was the day, huh. Thanks. Can I open it now?"

Special2 (Your Birthday) "Oh—found you. [Name]. Here—this is for you. A present. I mean… it’s your birthday today, right? Open it."

Special3 (New Year) "Yo. Happy New Year. My resolution this year is… to get through it as peacefully and uneventfully as possible…Yeah. Like that’s gonna happen."

Special4 (Valentine’s) "…That paper bag you’re holding—am I allowed to get my hopes up? Hah. Sorry—didn’t mean to sound like I was pressuring you."

Special5 (White Day) "[Name]. This is for you. Obviously it’s payback for last month. I’m the type who actually returns favors properly."

Special6 (April Fools) "…Yeah, no. That’s a lie. Shion put you up to this, didn’t he? …Seriously. If you’re gonna drag someone into it, keep it to me."

Special7 (Halloween) "Here. Happy Halloween… Huh? I figured you’d show up, so I got things ready ahead of time. I’m prepared, aren’t I?

Default8 (WelcomeBack) "…Welcome back. When you’re gone, my workload goes up, so it was a pain, you know? Hah hah. Half joking… Half serious."

I feel like I could keep asking forever. There are so many things I want to know about your canon, but I'll stop because they are really so many questions (Damian visiting Catwoman, his mother, in Arkham? How hard must that be? How is their relationship? Or things about Jason Todd, to mention a few). Thank you so much for running this blog, it's been a source of joy ever since I discovered when I first created my tumblr years ago. So much has happened ever since, but still your blog remains as that source of joy. Really, thank you. I wish you all the best.
