Schizo-wonderland

I was playing the Arkham games recently and when I got to Arkham Knight and heard Jervis call Batman Alice, I got really confused at first. I wonder if it is to show Jervis' mental state has gotten worst, or if it means he can't find an Alice since every civilian left Gotham so he has to find himself an Alice and Batman was just the first one to bump his way that actually caught his attention or something.

Sorry I took so long to respond! I was gonna draw a proper picture of our boy but apparently I don't have the time :(

But I really like this theory! I honestly didn't think about it past 'o fucc Jervis is gay for bats' but mentioning it like that...yeah it makes a LOT of sense. It's always been a general Hc of mine that most jervi need someone to latch onto and have as 'his' Alice, or at the very least, someone who can take on board a persona of an AIW character. It helps him mentally to do this, and without it he'd be a lot more than unhinged and dysfunctional, so Batman seemed to make a 'worthy' candidate for him to project this onto

And then, of course, he tries to show him his 'true' self to make him, well, like him, which I find really interesting and honestly? It's probably to engrain tje fact this is his Alice and they're actually pretty alike and close. Obviously this isn't true, but Jervis sure tries his hardest to make it true

Never thought I'd psychoanalyse Arkham Jervis but I'm living for it. Thanks for this ask n sorry again it took so long to reply!!

“Have Igone mad? I’m afraid so, but let me tell you something, the best people usually are.”  ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

A personal wonderland {Jervis Tetch}

Ungloved fingers twitched as they held a warm tea cup.  The skin on the small hands smooth and uncalloused, almost like a child’s. Though to presume such innocence would be a deadly mistake. The hands shaking from the opium in the owner’s system flushing out. Mindlessly bringing the cup to soft pink lips.  Drinking more out of a repeated habit than a actual need or want. Soft but sharp blue eyes wide and pin pricked.  Drugged and tiny pupils staring in a hazed madness. A soft catchy toon slipping from his throat…

The smell of tea filled the air, warmth thick like syrup.  Lace frills covered the table in a out of date elegance.  Decorative tea cups set ever so perfectly out along the table. Foot tapping music and hues of blue seemed to be a theme in this personal wonderland.  Tears stained the nicely folded napkins on the table below the man…

Ungloved fingers twitched as they held a cold tea cup.  The skin on  the small hands stained in blood, both his and others. Though to presume such morbid thoughts would be a ignorant mistake. The hands shaking from blood flushing out of the owners viens. Mindlessly smiling as he brought the tea to his painful grin, tea dribbling down his mouth.  Drinking it like a nervous tick of a cuckoo clock. Bloodshot blue eyes held in so much pain as tears poured out of the. The tiny pupils hiding the schizophrenics symptoms with the drug that laid inside him…

The smell of blood and desperation filled the air like deaths cloud.  Lace frills soaked in blood and tears. The table more of a scene of sadness then elegance. Smashed tea cups laid in every breath of the room.  The record skipped and was not fixed, being drowned out by this man’s personal wonderland…

Day 5 headcanons

• Tetch is that friend that tries to help you, but clearly doesn’t understand what you actually need.

• Tetch had a really good English teacher in middle school who helped him find other interesting books (at the time he mostly read Alice in wonderland over and over again and school assigned books)

1.This teacher also taught him how to come up with rhymes on the fly

•Tetch was bullied as a child for both looking a tad bit odd (buck teeth, shorter than some girls and large head) and for his natural shy and bookish nature

• He gained an interest in mind control when a saw a sideshow of a man getting both rats and audance volunteers to do odd and amazing tricks

• Schizophrenia will only worsen with age and every defeat at the hands of Batman

•Not exactly the most popular of rogues (Ivy, Scareface, Hush, Man-bat/Doctor langstrum, Two- face, Great white shark - it’s mutual) probably more don’t like him or some find it more fun to mess with him (Joker, Clayface)

• Has Maladaptive daydreaming, which has Sometimes put him in bad situations.

•Minor PTSD (triggered by losing his hat, being put in a corner, lots of people standing around him, being beat up)

• has Monophobia, Enochlophobia ( Has a lot of trouble in the Arkham cafeteria), and Autophobia.

Boom just some random headcanons I have, if you have any questions about them please send an ask

“Thank you and come again!” Madeline was ecstatic, it had been quite a while since she had attended a party. Although she couldn’t help, but wonder if she should have asked for directions and time. Thinking about running to try to check him she then spotted an envelope on the counter. Snatching it up, she immediately opened it. ~ You Are Cordially Invited to the Mad Tea party ~ Located: Guildford Main Street, 1589 At: 6:00 p.m.

The invitation was short and to the point so she didn’t think much of it. Looking at the clock she eagerly awaited to get off work so she could go home and get ready. Time skip 5:03 p.m. Slipping on a pair of black flats, Madeline looked herself over in the mirror one last time to make sure everything matched (This was something she often struggled with). Luckily, the simple orange skirt and green shirt worked well together. Finally, she grabbed the invitation and began walking towards Guildford Main. Finally at 6:08 she arrived, smiling she nocked on the door.

Day 4 Relationships

As I did with Tetch I'll just be doing people he's normally associated with!

Edward Nygma: Friends

They don't hate eachother they can just get a bit tense at times. They both have similar taste in Music and clothing, but they're egos do clash at times. In Arkham they're usually grouped together in the whole "dork squad" so talkings only natural. (Especially when you have to choose between trying to talk to a stick bug and a short fantasy man)

Jonathan Crane: Introvert vs Extrovert

Jonathan will happily let Meister do whatever he wants but pull Jon in and oh boy. Jonathan is not Meisters show partner and Meister of course See's Jon as a complete bore.

Mary Dahl: We gotta do THE song

Sometimes they get along very well and it's fun to see/hear them preform together other times.... Divas man plan divas. Meister thinks Mary's adorable and had a great attitude and Mary thinks he's the perfect showman.

Clayface: the ___ were better

Classic movie watcher buddies, it may have taken Meister a while to watch Clayfaces movie, but hey it's smooth sailing (so far). Meister doesn't really care about Clayfaces appearance and doesn't mind it at all when he copy's him.

Batman: No singing

Batman always wears earplugs when fighting Meister. He's no fun.

…Some mental images just like smacking me in the face with a phonebook. This is one. I was listening to the latest CodotVerse audio file when it got a little wild and I had to draw what I saw. Oh, my dear deluded Jervis. Anyhoo, have a good day to all of you. :)

and maybe if the desire strikes you some tidbits on tetchy would be sweet

the best of boys, the worst of boys

1. he comes from an extremely screwed-up gothic Old Money family in England, with a family tree rife with (a) murder and questionable shit and (b) loads of that sweet hereditary insanity. the ancestors that didn’t die in asylums usually died in like, duels and Mysterious Circumstances. so he’s always… kind of anticipated his life was going to be colorfully awful somehow, it was just a matter of when and how

2. he inherited the family business(es) after his father died (Mysteriously) but handed them over to his sister and moved to America after the stress made him have a severe mental breakdown; plus the tutor who actually raised him died around that time (Mysteriously). he had like, no plan for what to do next but Gotham seemed like a good place to be, for some reason

3. Bruce first met him when Jervis just kind of wandered in the door at WayneTech with a disturbingly futuristic piece of tech he invented and was like ‘so are you guys interested in this’

4. despite the stuff he came up with being groundbreaking enough that WT gave him basically anything he asked for any tolerated him acting extremely odd, Jervis really hated his job. part of it was his coworkers, who he very much didn’t get along with, and part of it was that he just… doesn’t like doing what anyone tells him to do, ever. the only thing he liked was that they’d give him money and materials without too many questions after a while. 

5. All the Rogues had colorful first trials, but Jervis’s was a real standout for media attention. Not only did he debut around the time people were really starting to see the Rogues as all part of a movement that wasn’t going to fade away, he had a terrifying gimmick (fear gas and JV affect your body, but he could control minds), a sensational story that nobody could agree on the details of, and he kept on interrupting the proceedings to try and explain his perspective on things, which included such statements as ‘free will doesn’t actually exist’ and ‘actually, God isn’t real’, etc.

6. ‘fell in love’ is not the right term (seeing as Earth 451 Jervis is aromantic) but the moment he forgot his office key at home and his secretary of 2 days responded by pulling some pins out of her bag and picking the lock for him was the moment when Jervis both learned Alice Pleasance’s name and became Very Interested in her

7. He wants to take Batman’s cowl, after a while, for one main reason: Batman keeps taking his hats. look, the Bat can keep his creepy… trophy room, or lair, or wherever he keeps the items he keeps dragging off, Jervis doesn’t care, and Jervis wouldn’t even mind that much if Batman had just taken his first hat, but the damn Bat must have at least seven of them by now and they don’t grow on trees. no man could suffer this and not retaliate 

8. he has tattoos on his upper arms and back (acquired during the ‘I’m going to make all the bad decisions I couldn’t make in my teen years’ phase he had after his father’s death) which very few people are aware of, since he doesn’t like showing any more skin than strictly necessary. 

9. A lot of people tend to get misled by the fact that he’s shortish and dresses fancy and uses tech a lot, and assume he must be easy to overpower. One of those people was Batman, in their very first encounter. It did not happen again. He’s far stronger than most people expect, and was one of the few Rogues actually taught (instead of picking it up out of necessity) how to fight.

10. He went to an actual school for a couple years as a teenager, before he and his sister were both kicked out (long story) and put back into tutoring. During that time, he got really into theater, and even tho he never had much chance to perform the way he taught himself to speak and move onstage influenced him subtly for years, and more obviously shaped his Hatter persona. He tends to talk and move, as the Hatter, as if he’s in a play; staring off to where an audience would be, selecting and enunciating his words so they sound like rehearsed lines. It freaks a lot of people out.
