Scarecrow! doesn't buy his clothes full price. Ever. Never has, never will, this man thrifts everything. Between the materials for making fear toxin, paying his goons, paying for rent and getting food for his crows, he can't really spare a penny. He once tried making his own drugs for the fear toxin, and it left him with a nasty scar on his face. But when he's finally sick of some of his old clothes, he's taking you by the wrist and dragging you to the car. You ask where he's taking you, all you get in response is a grumbled "its a surprise." As he drives further from the big city and more towards the calm, cool parts of New York. Not exactly suburbs, but not tall sky scrapers either. And once he parks, you two are off into the area.

Scarcrow! takes your hand to remind you he isn't mad at you, he's just a grouchy old man as the two of you walk into a CHKD Thrift store. You spend hours there. He is searching every rack to see if he can find any treasures, he even shops in the women's section for sweaters. No rack is left untouched. And don't worry, he's picking out some cute clothes for you too. Please, if you match his fall aesthetic, this man will not be able to stop showing you to coworkers. Doesn't matter, he's proud of his partner. When you finally leave the store, the autumn air hits your lungs and the leaves crunch under your shoes. But once he takes all your clothes back to the car and will just stand there staring at you. He will just stand there staring until you say something about it.

Scarecrow! just looks confused. "This is a date. What do you want to do?" So only now does he specify this is actually a date. He's awkward, we all knew this already. If you can't pick where to go next (especially since this is a new area for you) he'll take you to a local coffee shop called "Burial Grounds." If the name wasn't enough, the inside was all black, the staff looked like they belonged at a rave, and the decor was ready for halloween. Yet it's some of the kindest people you will ever meet. They're friendly, they seem to already kniw Jonathan, and They're fun to talk to. The vibes are definitely something Jonathan would be drawn to, no wonder he'd want to go there. What's nice is even if you don't want coffee, they have good options for teas and lattes. Over all, it's a nice spot to just sit down and chat (if you like the spooky things.)

Scarecrow! would be sitting down with you in the coffee shop, but he made today a date day, so he's walking around to take you on a date. Now, he's never been big on affection. Some nights, you may get a little bit of spooning if he's feeling nice, but he's mostly independent from you. He isn't really around enough for quality time or acts of service, and he's shit at praise, so gift giving is his biggest way to show affection. So, he's taking you everywhere and buying you anything you want. Its also because he feels bad for nkt being able to treat you better. He feels guilty, but at the same time, he couldn't lose you to the world.

Scarecrow! takes you to all the shops. The Crystal shop? He gets some shiny stones that remind him of you (Crow brain.) Candle shop? Be free, enjoy yourself. He loves candles, so get as many as you could ever want. There are some small stores with other fun trinkets, he's all for it. He is literally willing to go into a toy store with you if you want to get a cute stuffed animal. Or 3. Not like you two don't have the plague doctor plush duo at home.

Scarecrow! taking you to all his favorite places. The little book store that feels unreal. The beauty of it all, the smell of old books, the quiet atmosphere. He even got a few books for himself when you teo stop in. He takes you to the tea shop he gets his blends from. Even if you don't drink tea, you can enjoy the smells of all the flora. And it's even better if you like tea. He takes you to the little flea market that is always happening there, seeing small little local creators. There's one sun catcher he buys for its Halloween feel. Plus some bleached tie-dye shirts he got 2 of so you two could match. Lastly, he takes you to his favorite spot of all. A little antique and oddity shop. Bones, charms, incense, tarot, old creepy doll Jonathan knows too much about- all of it feels so eclectic. So delightful. You walk out with over $100 worth of goodies from there, and neither of you could be happier. Over all, it's a very random date, but when he's feeling romantic there's no better way for him to show it than buy you stuff you want. He'll definitely take you back there again.

A/N: this was strongly based on a little vintage shop I live near by and Olympia, Washington. Just go with it, trust 🙏

Jonathan Crane

Childhood

Jonathan Crane was born out of wedlock to a reluctant mother, Karen Keeny and a non-existent father, Gerald Crane. Both parents having no interest in the boy, was left to be raised by his religious great-grandmother Keeny in a rickety old mansion in Arlen, Georgia.

Keeny was a strict old woman, making Jonathan labor in the fields, forbidding him to partake in things such as Halloween or leisurely reading.

Punishment for disobeying his great-grandmother was a trip to the chapel. A dark, rundown aviary not far from the mansion, originally built by Jonathan’s family as a place of worship. Now the structure stands to teach Jonathan (and his mother before him) a lesson on facing childhood fears. Forced to dress in his Sunday best, Jonathan would be locked inside and attacked by hungry crows. See great-grandmother Keeny had whipped up a special formula of wild fowl pheromones, home-grown herbs and rat juices to sprinkle on the boys suit to attract the angry scavengers.

Life outside of home wasn’t any better for Jonathan. At school kids picked on him, calling him names like “Handrail” and of course, “Scarecrow.” It wasn’t long before Jonathan discovered a secret library in the mansion where he took solace. After researching chemistry and other sciences, Crane developed an intensified dosage of his great-grandmothers pheromone formula. Jonathan would get his “poetic justice” on her and a bully at school, killing Keeny and nearly blinding the kid. Still things didn’t get better with age for Jonathan Crane.

High School

As Jonathan got older his body got lankier. His long extremities and love of literature did not make him popular in high school. His “Scarecrow” moniker stuck with him along with a new name, “Ichabod” a reference to the character from Sleepy Hollow who he shared resemblance.

Jonathan finally decided to read about the character he was reluctantly nicknamed. He discovered that their similarities did not stop with looks. He became inspired by Ichabod Crane and even took to dancing like the main character. His Violent Dancing, as he called it, would extend into studying martial arts.

His senior year of high school, Jonathan built up enough courage to ask out the recently single Sherry Squires, former girlfriend of number one bully, Bo Griggs. Invited to a Halloween party, Sherry led Crane into a dark basement where Bo jumped out and scared him. He then tossed a pumpkin at Jonathan similarly to what happened to his new found hero, Ichabod.

He vowed to get his revenge. The night of the senior prom, Jonathan planned it just right. Using cherry bombs and a costume, Jonathan Crane finally succumbed to the name that had haunted him since he was a small child, he was now ready to strike terror and fear in his victims as the Scarecrow!

The accident paralyzed Bo and killed Sherry. Crane couldn’t be happier with himself. With two murders (great-grandmother Keeny and Sherry Squires) under his belt before adulthood, Jonathan was ready to take on college.

College

Attending Gotham University, Jonathan wasted no time throwing himself into his studies. Concentrating on psychology and chemistry, he quickly became the favorite of Professor Bramowitz. Crane used this to his advantage creating his now infamous fear toxin and soon disposed of his friend and mentor.

With the professor out of the way, this left an opening for the job. Jonathan would use the job to further his obsession, his lessons focusing primarily on fear.

Becoming a expert on the mind, Crane was even approached by a young Batman for advice on a sociopath who eventually becomes the Joker. His knowledge on psychology got him an internship at a mental institution where he treated and mentored a young Thomas Elliot aka Hush.

Doctor Crane’s teaching methods at the university were unorthodox to say the least. After firing a gun in the class and injuring a student in the process, Crane was let go from the university. Later, as an employee at his future residence, Arkham Asylum, Jonathan performed experiments on his patience to further his ‘research” and perfect his fear toxin.

Now full time criminal, Scarecrow initially sought revenge against all who contributed to his years of suffering, starting with the men responsible for his release from the university.

Scarecrow Comfort HCs

A/N: shoutout to @kuonhotachii for the prompt, I needed a little inspo to write 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️ sorry its late, kinda passed out before finishing 😭😭

Say you get home and today was absolute shit. The first thing you do when you get back to your apartment in take off your shoes, try not to kick one of Jonathan's crows who seems to be following you, and go to bed. And when you expect your boyfriend to come comfort you...

Jonathan just stands in the doorway. He doesn’t say a word, just stares at you. He's trying to analyze what youre feeling and how to help, but the way he does it is just not right. Eventually, maybe after a minute or so and seeing you calm down a little now that you're home, he comes over to sit at the edge of your bed. You seriously gotta say something before he does, he doesn't want to ruin your mood immediately by saying something. But once he gets the cue he can speak, he will.

After he clears his throat, he starts asking you about your day. But... not like a person. Like a therapist would. Its what he's used to. Even then, he isn't used to helping people with his therapy. The only reason he went into psychiatry was because he loves how the brain works. He didn't care about the people he met with, they were just experiments in a controlled environment. Now, he actually cares for the person he's trying to help, so it messes him up quite a bit.

Not once does he offer you a comforting hand. Not once does he try and give you reassurance. He doesn’t even show you any emotion, he just stays in his psychiatrist persona. Eventually, he realizes this isn't what you need. Therapy is only good for long term issues, not a single bad day that the brain is still trying to process. With a sigh, he finally shows some emotion when asking,

"... How does a movie sound, suga'?"

It's the most he could offer in the moment. A distraction. That typically helps someone escape their worries instead of dwelling on them. So, he stands up, decides to show you a little affection by kissing your forehead and running his fingers through your hair, then leaves the room. After a few minutes, he comes back with a whole heap of things. Blankets and pillows from the couch, he has his laptop so you don't have to move from bed to watch the movie, and without a single word, he starts to set up a nest for you two. This man is a crow given human form, its to be expected.

He sets up the pillows behind and around you, making sure your tucked in under a blanket, he sets up his computer so you can pick whatever movie your heart desires, and then he asks if you want to be held or not. For some reason, he hates using the word "cuddles" so thats his way of asking for them. If you say no, it's perfectly fine with him. He's never been the most physically affectionate person, he never knew what it was like to be hugged as a child, so he's horrible at it as an adult. Hell, he prefers not being touched at all, but for you he bends that rule. Even if you don't want cuddles, he'll get on his knees, on the floor, at the side of the bed and just hold your hand (if you let him.) Pressing sweet kisses to the back of it, feeling over your pulse and just inspecting your nails, mumbling sweet nothings. Its a weird show of affection, but it means a lot coming from Jonathan. He may even just rest his cheek against your hand as he tries to play on his phone, still not fully understanding the technology other than calls and texts.

Now, if you want physical affection from Jonathan, it's... pretty awkward. I mean, he'll slip into bed next to you, wrapping an arm around your shoulder and letting you lay your head on his chest, but there's nothing there. Like, he is skin and bone, you don't have much padding from his hip bone digging into your side while he holds you. Boney fingers trying to find somewhere to settle, not wanting to seem weird if he keeps his and on your waist so instead he holds a blanket. You could literally tell him how to hold you and he'll do it if it makes the whole situation better. Eventually, he will reach his limit and will need a break. He knows who he is and how long he can mentally push himself to hold someone, so he'll politely excuse himself. But dont be fooled, he isn't overwhelmed or anything, don't start blaming it onr yourself. If anything, he feels bad for not knowing how to properly care for you. Literally, if you started crying, all he would be able to do is listen and he feels so shitty for that.

Now, once he does eventually take a break, he goes to the kitchen and attempts to make you something to eat. Im pretty sure he doesn't even know how to make an omelet, so maybe scrambled eggs? Something easy? He's trying. If push comes to shove, he'll order you something, and if you're not hungry? He'll get you something to snack on. He doesnt know how to people properly, so you're just a whole new experience for him, but for any scientist, a new experience can be a good thing.

Rogues Gallery Music HCs (Pt. 1)

A/n: I fear that I listen to too much music not to find the perfect songs and music artists, so please enjoy, and if you have any more ideas send em over cause I'll need ideas for my next part 😭🙇‍♂️💫

Scarecrow - Will Wood

You can't tell me this doesn't just fit his vibe. It's so loud and chaotic, yet it has such deeper meaning. This is just very Jonathan Crane (especially in his head psychiatrist days.)

Chemical Overreaction/ Compound Fracture

"I might be a saint worth steeples

I might be the brain of evil

Bad things happen to good people

Good things happen to me :]"

2econd 2ight 2eer (that was fun, goodbye.)

"Now with my moral compass pointing south, going down

With no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no respect for reality

I'm just a psycho, babe. Come and go out my mind

I didn't lose it babe, there wasn't much to find"

Against the Kitchen Floor

"So, I could hold your hand, but keep you at arm's length

Or hang me from a branch too high to climb and shake

Less rare than scarce, less diamond than rough

Unlikely to be more than just the coal you fail to crush"

Riddler - I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME

Okay, you need to hear me out here. These songs? Top of the world, smarts and beauty, perfection. It has that evil genius vibe that Ed deserves, and the beat? Chef's kiss.

Do It All the Time

"We're taking over the world

A little victim-less crime

And when I'm taking your innocence

I'll be corrupting your mind"

Choke

"Now shut your dirty mouth

If I could burn this town

I wouldn't hesitate

To smile while you suffocate and die"

Mad IQs

"Oh, you will never, ever stop me

'Cause I'm never gonna quit

Gonna get just what I want

And I am gonna get it quick

Lose yourself inside the city

Lose your mind inside a week

You can lose all of your money

You can find enough to sleep"

Poison Ivy & Harley Quinn - Chappell Roan

It's the red haired lesbian energy for me- Jokes aside, I just love this for them. These songs bleed "we hooked up a few times and now we're getting married" energy and I am LIVING for it.

Giver

"’Cause you ain’t got to tell me

It’s just in my nature

So take it like a taker

’Cause, baby, I’m a giver

Ain’t no need to hurry

’Cause, baby, I deliver"

HOT TO GO!

"Well, I woke up alone staring at my ceiling

I try not to care but it hurts my feelings

You don't have to stare, come here, get with it

No one's touched me there in a damn hot minute"

Red Wine Supernova

"I'm in the hallway waitin' for ya

Mini skirt and my go-go boots

I just want you to make a move

So slow down, sit down, it's new

I just wanna get to know ya

Guess I didn't quite think it through (Nah-uh, girl)

Fell in love with the thought of you

Now I'm choked up, face down, burnt out

Baby, why don't you come over?

Red Wine Supernova

Falling into me"

Catwoman - MARINA

Marina herself is a queen, only fitting for a goddess like Selina. The music, the feeling, the power in her words, all of it screams Cat in the best way possible.

How to Be a Heartbreaker

"Girls, we do whatever it will take

'Cause girls don't want, we don't want our hearts to break

In two, so it's better to be fake

Can't risk losin' in love again, babe

This is how to be a heartbreaker

Boys they like a little danger

We'll get 'em fallin' for a stranger, a player

Singin', "I lo-lo-love you""

Oh No!

"Don't do love, don't do friends

I'm only after success

Don't need a relationship

I'll never soften my grip

Don't want cash, don't want card

Want it fast, want it hard

Don't need money, don't need fame

I just want to make a change"

Primadonna

"Primadonna girl, yeah

All I ever wanted was the world

I can't help that I need it all

The primadonna life, the rise and fall

You say that I'm kinda difficult

But it's always someone else's fault

Got you wrapped around my finger, babe

You can count on me to misbehave

Primadonna girl

Would you do anything for me?

Buy a big diamond ring for me?

Would you get down on your knees for me?

Pop that pretty question, right now baby"

And an extra cause I was feeling silly :3

Two Face - Double Life by Pharrell Williams

"You'll never know when it's your time to go

And where you end up in life, that's code

You can't ignore, you're spinning your life

Your watch is broken 'cause you spent all your time

It's now or never, on this, everything rides

Before the spinning stops, you must pick a side"
