My Best Friend Is Into Batjokes Too And Theyre The Artist To My Author

my best friend is into batjokes too and they’re the artist to my author <3 (posted with permission)

The Batman characters I always write and view with DID (aka the “DID baddies”) are Batman, Two Face, and Scarecrow—and I LOVE that they each present with such wiiiiildy different interactions with their headmates + experiences within their headspaces.

The way I see it, Bruce and Batman coexist easily. They have the same mission so they work alongside each other and view the other as having an extremely valuable role to play in their life/are aware that they can’t function without each other. What’s cool is that they have completely different approaches to their collective goal, but ultimately they trust the other and both get where they want to be (from a big picture perspective).

Harv and Harvey coexist grudgingly and work against each other in a lot of ways (it’s a WIP) BUT they have a system (haha) for how to navigate daily life so that they both feel equally represented in their decisions. While “trust” might be too strong a word to use, they definitely both see the other as capable of living their collective life even if/when they don’t agree with the other’s decisions—and so they mostly don’t stand in each other’s way.

Jonathan and Scarecrow DO NOT COEXIST! Jonathan views Scarecrow as a liability actively ruining their life and thus works to keep Scarecrow away from the front entirely. Scarecrow views Jonathan as weak and unwilling/unable to do what needs to be done to keep them both alive. The one area of overlap is their research (and criminal endeavors) so it’s the one space they’re willing to coexist, but outside of their heists they’re almost exclusively at each other’s throats and would rather the other not have access to their life/body/decisions.

It adds so many layers to their characters and entirely fleshes out the “personas” when you come at it from the lens of DID as opposed to just viewing it as a costume they take off at the end of the night imo!

Currently writing a Scriddler piece where Scarecrow and Ed fuck for the first time and fldjsjfkfj this line (before launching into a description of said fucking) is really doing it for me: “If Scarecrow’s fighting style could be described as violent dancing, this was violent dancing on a whole new level.”

just some words and faces

okay I just finished my playthrough of the villain!Joker arc in Telltale and I have questions lmao—

what happens if you don’t rat out the fact that John gave the map to Gordon to Harley? I didn’t think he’d stop her on his own, but did he? 👀

what happens if you tell John “I wish we never met” at the very end? I didn’t have the heart to say it 😭 but in hindsight I wish I had played Bruce as cold hearted to the end haha
