It begins.

/goofy

(The Guy tetch’s talking to in the first one is supposed to be the joker but HE LOOKS LIKE MARC FOR SOME REASON why)

I’m so sorry, buddy- I didn’t mean it, I swear- hbdvshshs- (this is an old doodle lol)

Oh, did I mention that Dark AU Jervis was poisoned by joker twice. Both times as a “joke”, and one of those times, joker was playing this “game” he’d made up, where people have to find out which glass is poisoned by having each person drink from one of them.

Jervis did not enjoy this game. The joker found it fucking hilarious. Jervis did not. At all. And he was very relieved when finally given the antidote after literally dying for several moments.

He didn’t talk to the joker for almost a month, and refused to ever accept drinks from him again.

The Tetch is back and I have a better idea of how his face is structured kind of.

Featuring: ✨hand✨ (and teeth)

Oh and a lil bit o’lore, y’know- just as a treat

[get-your-fuckin-star-bitch]

Sketched. Dialogued. Not at all satisfied with it, but fuck it we ball.

Hopefully I can get myself to do the linework.

Perhaps even the coloring-

Maybe coloring first, then linework, cause that sometimes helps.

TILL THEN!!!!!

Tetch has tried swordfighting before… but was told he sucked at it, and mocked for his efforts, so he stopped.

Thankfully, he’s gotten much better since then, since he’s recently gotten back into it and has gotten some proper tutoring from people who know how to fence and swordfight.

[get-your-fuckin-star-bitch]

Ok

So i know that it’s pretty unanimously decided that Tetch is pronounced like it rhymes with “fetch”.

But.

What if it were pronounced “tetkh”.

“TET-khh”

Idk how to explain the pronounciation behhsbsshhshs

Little thought-ramble on how the hat thing works (I’m incorporating that into the rewrite-)

So

He didn’t start out as a neuropsychologist. Or a neuroscientist of any kind.

He was a mechanical engineer.

Made little contraptions and gizmos out of clockwork bits in his foster dad’s shop, and later spent most of his time putting together brilliant little contraptions that he could fit into the hats and outfits he wore onstage, as well as parts of the set and everything.

He only ever made one hat-contraption that involved hidden electronics for the show. But it was a hit. And it landed him his gig at the Wayne Enterprises party.

The contraption looked very simple, unassuming, but it had taken him months just to figure out how to put it together, because he’d been struggling with the task of hiding a flat, angular chip in the curved shape of a hat. He’d wound up having to make the chip itself from scratch or something — after doing extensive research on how to do so — so that he could hide it in the hat-band without too much trouble.

But once he’d gotten it all together, and had carefully sewn the whole thing into the hat, he’d been able to use it to basically do “magic”.

By somehow using the faint pulses from his brain to trigger the chip to send infrared signals that could control certain aspects of the set.

He could turn stage lights on and off. Have confetti explode into the crowd. Took him ages to figure out how to trigger the right things.

But again… that hat was only used for two shows. And he only ever made one. Before vanishing, with two counts of murder trailing along after him.

Oh shit wait I might make a comic hold on hold on h

Another few things about rewrite!jervis.

- that tea party shit? Hell yeah he still has those but hypnotizing people? Using hypnosis on people to force them to do stuff?? Making them do stuff against their will??????? HELL no, he already feels uncomfortable about the hats he has to make, why would he want to make people do his bidding for some friggin tea party????? He’s just goofing around with friends!!!! Friends who actually WANT to be there!!!!! No hypnosis necessary!!!! He is a nice fucking person ok

- Joker initially tried to do his makeup, (yes, he does wear makeup when he’s “on business”), and Jervis tolerated it the first few times, but Harley noticed that he was looking really really uncomfortable and nervous, so she offered to take over for Joker, and has been helping him out with it ever since.

- Jervis didn’t start out acting “mad”. He was only acting that way, at first, and was doing so on Joker’s orders.

…at first.

- When he was just starting out, he didn’t make the actual hats themselves, he just put the components and wiring and stuff in hats he’d buy or find, and maybe give them a bit of a touch-up if they seemed like they needed it. As he got more familiar with the way they were made, his engineering mind started trying to figure out how he might be able to make them himself, and so he began gradually moving away from modifying store-bought hats and started making his own custom ones.

- He’s probably been in Arkham on only a few occasions. And he only turned himself in on one of those occasions… which wound up being the worst experience of his life. They barely helped him, and really just wound up traumatizing him instead of improving his mental state. He managed to escape, thanks to a few friends he’d made in the “asylum”, and made absolutely sure he’d never have to stay there for longer than half a week if he ever went back there again.

- REFUSES to use knives and certain other weapons. Honestly prefers to punch people if he can lol

- Did i mention he’s

…god dammit, I can’t shorten “homosexual” to anything besides “homosex”, and for extra points I could just say “gaysex” and break the internet-

He’s biro/gaysex.

*Explodes*

- Joker reminded him too much of his old managers. So fuck him! Broke the man’s nose and noped the FUCK out of there.

- He and Harley are actually fantastic friends, literally lesbian/gay (and also bi) solidarity I love their friendship

- so, listen, to clarify his sexuality, cause labels BARELY cut it:

he’s ok with women. they’re fine. They’re nice. It’s cool.

Enbi people? YES. Oh my GOD, yes.

MEN??????????

Cue the goddamn tea kettle sfx and flustered, embarrassed Lewis Carroll quotations. Because oh, fuck. He is not prepared for the pretty men he is n

- Oh my god oh my god oh my goD OK SO he has that cool thing where he was born with a handful of pigment-less patches on his skin, and it makes it so that he has a natural white streak and a few little white hairs here and there in his hair, he’s SO cool, even one of his eyebrows has a big bit of white in it cause there are a few spots around his eye that don’t have pigment- it’s really hard to see the actual spots on his skin, but if you look closely you can see that there are spots where the hairs are completely white- it’s so cool- (I don’t think it’s vitiligo, I’m pretty sure vitiligo is something completely different and doesn’t actually allow hair to grow from it..? But I could be completely wrong.)

- His nose has been broken a couple times.

- He’s never used his pocketwatch to hypnotize someone without good reason, except when Joker was his “boss” and told him he had to.

- worst nightmare? Initially, he’d say being trapped. After whatever makes him snap makes him snap, and once he starts mentally recovering from it and regaining his sanity, however… it would definitely have to be “losing his head” all over again.

‘S all for now folks-
