#hatfam

I'm healing from...life in general. Here *gently puts Hatfam in y'all dashboard*🤗

[sorry, I know this is kinda late, but I'm posting it to the tag anyways. :3]

Blog url: tensixthsofmyself.tumblr.com/

Nickname: Aces (ɐces); "due to his annoying use of the vowel."

Age: Hard to say! Possibly 34?*

Weight: 110lbs (50 kg)

Physical description: Aces is heavily influenced by his comic versions. He is a small man, standing at 4' 10" (147 cm), with red, messy hair. His eyes are blue, and he has freckles on his rather large nose and across his cheeks. He has very pronounced front teeth and an overbite. Various scars on his body; you can't be a rogue without 'em!

About: [EXTENSIVELY DETAILED SORRY] Aces grew up under the care of his grandfather, a war veteran with a whole mess of mental problems. He was heavily abused for his outwardly gentle nature, tiny stature and debilitating stutter-- many people in his young life thought he was a mute, as it was nearly impossible for him to speak. After his grandfather died, Aces was moved to a slue different boy's homes and foster houses, never staying for more than a year. Aces finished high school in a juvenile detention facility, having been wrongfully fingered for arson, and had been convicted as he was unable to defend himself verbally. Released on good behavior, he entered the workforce as a gardener and began to take night courses toward a usable degree, finding his passion in neuroscience. Uninhibited by constant disruptions in his life, Aces excelled in his field, and graduated with honors and a reserved place in Gotham universities' neuroscience labs, with a stable grant to continue his research in 'rewiring the brain' to stop stuttering and other speech inhibitors.

Aces made commendable progress, but was often bad about filing reports or communicating his findings in any way, causing cut-backs in funding. He was assigned a young intern to do his filing work; Alice Pleasance, age sixteen. He fell madly in love with her, but was again unable to communicate his feelings. They shared a love for Carroll's works and other facets, but the age gap between them was too immense, and after months of stalking and longing, Aces finally snapped, kidnapping the girl and leading Batman on a wild chase that would end with Alice a mindless zombie and himself nearly dead, and incarcerated.

Currently prone to vagrancy.

Attitude: Aces is overall a very cheerful guy, though he is prone to violent mood swings and random fits of depression. Obsessive. He's rather friendly, and loves to talk, as at last he can. Don't knock his hat off, though-- he will get very quiet and very angry, as it is the tec in the band that reverses his stutter!

[I've been a lazy jerk about working on the HatFam, so I figured I should do something about it! Now, I've heard from my partner-in-crime Hattymun that there a few of you awesome Jervis rprs out there that are interested, and that's great! (let's be perfectly honest: Hattymun's been doing all the work while I tool around, for sure.) But! I figured that now would be a good time to roll out the fancy applications to have fun and fill out. If you guys would be so kind as to fill out and submit this, or possibly fill it out in a post and tag it 'hatfam', that would be fantastic, as I'm going to start working on a masterlist. :3]

Nickname: [you can pick your own, or perhaps you've already been rping with other Hatters; and you can use that!]

Age:

Weight:

Physical description: [different hatters differ. This should be eye colour, hair colour, defining features, and anything else you can think of.]

About: [this can be a brief history of your hatter, and what made them the kind of person they are.]

Attitude: [pretty straightforward. Are they cheerful, or broody? that sort of thing. You can also use this to include trigger warnings, and/or things that they enjoy.]

Criminal record: [a brief history of their criminal doings. Or, they might not have one at all!]

[*odd buzzing noises of thought and mouth putterings*…

There is an excellent and accepting community available, should you choose to create a Hatter rp blog. BTAS!Jervis is a deep and amazing version of the character, and I’m sure folks would love to rp with him! If the muse is with you, I say you should go for it. Never let an rp stress you out, though; if you don’t think you will have the time, then perhaps it would be better if you waited a little while, until you schedule clears up. Rps should be fun, and never obligation.

As for the HatFam, all versions are welcome! It’s the rpers themselves that define each version of Jervis, and no one is set rping in just one universe. For Example: Hatty is a tall, kind, blond Hatter, and Aces is a short, rather whimsical ginger. Both are versions of Jervis Tetch, but very individual. I guess what I’m saying is that interpretations are what make the HatFam the HatFam.

Hullo. I'll say my piece and get off the tag asap, promise!

Are there any Mad Hatter/Jervis Tetch rpers that would be interested in starting a HatFam? This post has gotten me (among others) thinking that it would be fun to start a Hatter Family, as there is a fabulous Riddler Family and Scarecrow Family (and perhaps others!) running in the fandom. It would be awesome if perhaps you could drop a word in mine or Hatty Mun's  askboxes, to let us know if you're interested?

"W-why, hello, Mr. Tetch! Would you like some tea, Mr. Tetch? Oh, that would be  simply wonderful of you, Mr. Tetch. How many lumps do you take? Oh, you know how many, you’re the best at mɐking tea…that’s a beautiful hat you’ve made, Mr Tetch! Why, you’re ever the charmer, Mr. Tetch…"

[…and that’s how I imagine the Hatter ‘Family’ would be, lol. I’m sure that there are other Jerv-i out there, but I’ll be damned if we aren’t all as skittish as white rabbits. Bless Higgy for her fantastic Riddler Family.

*sobs* I want to love you all~

Truthfully, I would adore a Hatter Family. They would all nest in tatters of fine felt left over from hats and old quilts piled on but the one mattress. All of them would be fussy in the morning until they got the kettle on, and then they’d all crowd around the plans for new mind control devices and gadgets Mom (see: Riddler Family) had sent over for them, sipping their tea and discussing what changes to what needed to be made to what. They would get fine work done, in their little house/haberdashery, until they got distracted by any one of them saying the name ‘Alice’, and then they’d be useless and have tea parties…once in a while, my own Jervis would probably coo something about SassMaster Jonathan, ever the odd one out.

It would quite possibly be the cutest thing ever.
