Itty bitty nugget 'bout to wreck a bitch

I went back and reread this issue, and I thought this scene was really interesting. Thanks to an experiment carried out by another criminal scientist working with Crane, the entire city of Gotham is crippled by horrible nightmares in which they see the Scarecrow. These nightmares bring forth a deep-seeded phobia of Scarecrow’s silhouette, and the effect lasts even in daylight, allowing The Scarecrow to to terrorize the city simply by walking the streets.

Scarecrow wreaks havoc across Gotham, and he’s only naturalized once Batman unmasks him in front of the terrified crowd.  Without that mask, he can no longer cast forth his nightmare-inducing silhouette. The crowd of onlookers are no longer afraid, and they ambush the Scarecrow. Think about that

Look at his face, he’s stricken with terror. He plan has failed and he’s lost. Crane wants nothing more then to be seen as a horrifying phantom, a beast that no one can fight back against, but under the mask? He’s afraid.

"I wish we met sooner" is such a gentle sentiment. I love you so much I not only want you in my future, but in my past too. I want to have known you when we were small stupid kids, have held hands together as we played outside. I want to have stressed out over exams together, nudging a mug of still steaming hot chocolate against your elbow to get you to focus. I want to have told you I love you before I did anyone else. I want to have held you in my arms when all those sad memories you describe to me were still fresh wounds. I want my past to have been full of you, and full of meaningful memories with you. I want my past lives to have been spent with you, whether as two lovers, or two housecats cuddling by the fireplace on a snowy day, or two flowers that just happened to bloom on the same day, next to each other. I want to have consumed your existence and intertwined it with my own since my birth, never to be separated from you for a moment. I want to have loved you throughout it all, for all time.

I can’t believe this has to be said but… you know Sam is upset at the thunderbolts* because he doesn’t want the avengers to be controlled by the government, right? That’s why he was on team cap in civil war. Do you know that? It’s important to me that you know that.

Together.

I think it’s perfectly acceptable to headcanon that the rogues such as Scarecrow, Riddler and Catwoman would attend pride. ESPECIALLY, if you’re doing this to cope or feel better about your identity and self.  

If it makes you feel better to draw then wearing pride flags, GO FOR IT.

If it makes you feel better to headcanon them as your gender, SLAY QUEEN.

These ideas don’t hurt anyone and make you happy, and isn’t that the point of a headcanon? Pride headcanons are valid in my book.

Let Scarecrow be ace, let riddler decorate his robots in trans colors, let Catwoman show her bi pride, let Batman be queer.

Be proud of who you are, okay? This blog supports you.

Seeing how alot of the fanon avians kinda have also become test tube babies (experiment aus/theories), I like to think they just don't have some instincts and features a normal avian would have

-and this gives Phil, the resident canon crow, really bad uncanny valley. At first he writes it off as the others being other types of birds.

But then he finds out the others can't chirp or don't know how to preen-- he gets really suspicious. Phil writes it off with the fact they forget memories from before the island, yet it still unsettles him.

Its like a wolf seeing a domesticated dog, like a weird mockery of yourself.
