#the-overneath

Arkhamverse!Jonathan Crane/Reader + “Soft” HCs:

He likes to hug you from behind, usually without warning. The only notice you get is the strong smell of chemicals, followed by the feeling of his arms circling your waist, and his chin resting on top of your head.

It’s more of a half-aware thing, but he likes running his fingers through your hair. For the most part, he doesn’t even realize that he’s doing it until someone points it out. (Then he gets defensive and refuses to acknowledge that he’s doing it.)

Meets them at a little cafe, y’say? Perfect! He runs away

He’s the man who put them through 3 lifetimes worth of trauma, and this is Gotham

Even if they weren’t still dealing with the mental repercussions from his experiments, living in Gotham is enough of a reason to carry a glock around everywhere

Jonathan would prefer to not get shot; granted, he gets his ribs broken regularly anyway, but it would probably still hurt like hell

I understand this version of Jon didn’t shoot a gun in class so I can’t make a joke about that :(

But now that’s out of the way, let’s hypothetically say for some unknown, probably insane reason his student completely forgives him and now they’re S/Os

Imagine how awkward you thought it would be; it’s worse

He avoids anything related to his time as a professor like the plague

Another one of his ex-students sees him talking with his S/O and immediately jump-tackles him

There is no peace in this situation

Jonathan Crane + Barista!Crush HCs:

It’s similar to a post we made a while back about Jon falling for a waitress. He likes to stop by and kind-of-but-not-really subtly “flirt” with you. 

And by “flirt,” I mean he makes (or at least, tries to make) small-talk as you fix his drink. It’s...painfully awkward the first few times, but eventually, your conversations start to get longer and more in-depth.
