Tell me about about ol' Jonny Crane in your au pleaseeee
OF COURSE!
i have yet to come up with a super great design for him…. the second one was actually for a cowboy au but i kinda like the fit so it might stick around ^_^
jonny boy is everything to me. my jonathan is southern as hell and incredibly apathetic. dude’s amygdala is fried. he is often very mellow and downtrodden but can have sudden bursts of anger. persistent depressive disorder king. he only ever shows interest in his own studies: fear and it’s prospects. before fully embracing the scarecrow, he’s quite accomplished- he’s got a masters degree in psychopharmacology and has greatly climbed the ranks as an arkham psychiatrist. but he’s deeply troubled and incredibly traumatized and his fascination with the brain and Fear is basically the closest thing he has to emotional catharsis. dude doesn’t know how to feel things properly.
while jon is quiet and impassive, the scarecrow is fierce and unrelenting. the scarecrow does the dirty work, but also feels emotions much stronger than jon does. the scarecrow tends to feel things so that jon doesn’t have to. jon likes to keep things logical and orderly, but the scarecrow is messy and ruthless, and provoked when jon starts to feel any emotion too strongly.
