remembered that in the arkham games both the riddler and scarecrow refer to catwoman and batman respectively as “my dear” and i think it’s really funny
''you had been roped into a new kind of fun, aren't you? how naughty of you, dear boy. how gamine!''
(softcore kinky scarebat. cuz lass's heart wants what it wants 💘
but truly, my thoughts process here was both simple an’ messy at the same time. for one, i prob already said it, but i feel like ropes are very their thing. or generally, tying up or restriction of movements. be it cuffs or smth else feels on par with smth they might grow to enjoy. even if i don’t think, they will constantly dab into that territory. esp since it cannot be denied, that when it comes to bandage, there is such a nice element of ‘trust’ in it an’ potential for slight fear play, that welp … yeah. once again, sounds like their thing to me. so i just had to play around with it a bit! at first, i wanted to also draw a couple of similar ideas i had for fear state scarebat, but it felt too bdsm-ish for this set, so i decided to post it like you see it here an’ not include anything else. leave it soft-ish an' playful. even if slightly sexed up.
now, about the next following piece of trivia ... around july *i think?* i had an idea for a fairly short scarebat fic, which would have dealt with the topic of batman an’ scarecrow accidentally stepping into rather peculiar, kinky territory an’ then just being forced to kinda awkwardly deal with it afterwards. or in other words, bruce did smth under the influece of ft, crane liked it an’ bruce didn’t dislike it, either. but it wasn’t meant to be sexual. but jon assumed it was an’ also manipulatively told batman that such treatment helps him to think less ‘bad fear obsessed’ thought. it's not really true lol so now, bruce is kinda has to take responsibility for his purely accidental actions, all while feeling weird that he’s not against it, despite how he should be an’ so on. a fairly simple concept on surface, but unfortunately, since i already have some stuff i need to write first, i wanted to at least, draw smth a bit related to this idea of mine for keepsake almost. including a slight allure to the fact, that in one of the arts it’s implied that crane would have got his bony, flat butt spanked. so here, ya have it.
but anyhow. on a more detailed note, the first two arts are intentionally more clean, then what follows after. in here, it’s mostly about jonathan being creepy about having unconscious batman. thrilled about having him at his mercy an’ also thrilled about a chance to rub his crotch against batman's abs, i imagine an’ then, your good ole scenario, where scarecrow getting snared by both a rope an’ one of batman’s bat-themed cables. he’s pretty stuck an’ fearfully stares up at the batman, who lets himself enjoy the sight a bit longer, than he should. so in short, this first set kinda depicts sexual tension without it being released an’ also involves a rope. a restriction. a moment, where one can forget for a second about the whole vigilante vs villain thing an’ just focus on sensuality of such occasions. a situation, which isn’t uncommon per say, but can have a bit of double meaning or even a food for fantasies later on.
an’ then, we have resolved tension, basically. so needless to say, jonathan is pretty happy where he is. just embarrassed, when maskless. but fairly calm an’ curious, when he has a mask on, bc batman cannot see his expression. as for bruce, he’s a bit thoughtful in the first art, since i imagine, that it’s like a rare moment of peace for him. even if it happens in a bit of a strange set up. i also a dedicated believer that bruce likes to hold crane for comfort reasons. an’ then, we have a bit more usual batman manhandling crane, but sexually this time, an’ i decided to leave it ambiguous what they are saying here. like, i imagine my own thing an’ someone else might imagine whatever else, i suppose. bruce is kinda smug tho. even if at first he had a very different expression in a sketch i’ve made. but i love his lil smirks. he's so full of secrets, haha.
an' oh, also in the beginning, i wanted to leave the arts as they were. like their original color an’ white background, but i feel like it wouldn’t have given off this light dreamy vibe, otherwise. an' i wanted to be tender-ish. since for me, this art set is soft in nature, despite presence of the kinks, which oftentimes associate with rough sex an’ whatnot. but yup, originally, it looked like this.
p.s i didn't tag this post as an adult one, bc well, technically speaking no sex is happening an' no dicks are shown. so yeah. also i feel like comicverse!jon also have a right to show off his nips. arkham asylum scarecrow cannot take this right all to himself after all.)
I need you all to know that when I picture scarebat (batcrow??) its battinson and cillian murphy scarecrow tongue fucking each other in the face its. this hit me out of left field.
