Delightful! I’d be happy to provide

I see Johnathan as Pansexual. At first I thought Pan/Ace but then I saw a panel that highly suggested he was into pain so I immediately rolled with that. Though I did recently see a Demi John headcanon, which is really fitting. So this is kinda subject to change.

The first version of the fear toxin caused hallucinations, but John has adapted numerous different versions with varying effects. He’s constantly tinkering with his formulas.

He seriously avoids most southern food. Some of its okay for him, but a lot of it only serves to bring up past trauma. His Thanksgiving meals were, at best, a turkey sandwich that wasn’t too bad. Batman found this out accidentally, so he left Johnathan a turkey melt since he hadn’t caused any trouble recently.

Christmas would have gone down in a similar manner. In fact it did for a long time, but then Harley started throwing annual Christmas parties and there’s nothing religious going on there.

He and the Riddler have a weird relationship. They don’t hate each other, but Johnathan really just doesn’t care for Eddie. Riddler likes to annoy him though, and he gets many opportunities since they and Poison Ivy have a mutual friend thing going on, since Harley likes to drag them all together.

More on him and Poison Ivy, they have a sort of rivalry going on, though it’s turned into more of a friendly rivalry than anything. They’re both chemists, and Johnathan has gotten into a habit of trying to “out do” Ivy. Though either of them know exactly what that would entail. Also, John is immune to her toxins and Ivy to his fear toxin. Though they do bond over hating the Joker’s guts.

He can sew. Which is how he maintains the fabric of his Scarecrow outfit.

He actually has a very professionally maintained small flock of crows. Each has a name and he can tell each apart without struggle.

Sometimes city birds (mostly pigeons) will show up amongst their roosts. When Johnathan sees them it usually goes vaguely like:

“You’re not meant to be here.”

*pigeon noises*

“Okay then. Understood.”

Obligatory Banecrow. Bane was looking to experiment with his venom so he went to Johnathan. They somehow turned a scientific discussion of chemical application flirtatious. It was still actually rather productive, however.

You know that thing where people who didn’t “rebel” as teenagers start rebelling in college? It’s like that, except Johnathan didn’t rebel in college. Or when he taught college. So instead we have a man in his late thirties going through his teenage rebellion.

Apart of this rebellion is letting his friends engage him in traditionally feminine activities. He looks like a statue on the outside during it but really he’s giddy, to put it simply.
