“Have Igone Mad? I’m Afraid So, But Let Me Tell You Something, The Best People Usually Are.” 

📂

Alright since Madeline is technically an OC I shouldn't do headcanons for her, so random Batman character!

Killer Croc is immune to most diseases and viruses due to his unique biology and because he spends so much time in the sewer. That's why being down there never bothers him and he isn't afraid of getting dirty.

Can you reblog this if the mun is 18+

Mad Hatter's quirks relating to the Lewis Carrol books

Traits directly from the book:

These are just a reference for me to look at for future Batman fanfiction and shitposts because I want to get them right, and perhaps for anyone who hasn’t read the book Alice in Wonderland. If Jervis is truly trying to mirror the Hatter to the letter, he should get all of these. 

If you want to see the traits alluded to instead, they’re under the cut. If you’re interested in some of my personal headcanons, they’re also just under the cut.

Anyways, here we go.

- According to illustrations, he’s small and wears a proper dress shirt, coat, and bowtie, along with a large hat with a card stuck in the top reading “In this style 10/6”

- The Hatter appears in chapter 7 and 11 of the book and not in Through the Looking Glass. He’s with the March Hare and the Dormouse, who can be percieved as his best friends.

- If you attempt to sit down uninvited at his table, he’ll shout “No room! No room!” even if there’s tons of room available.

- If you sit down without his invitation, he’ll be grumpy. Even though the Hare does this, Jervis can offer you wine even if there’s no wine at the table, calling you out for sitting without an invitation.

- He has an odd need to cut Alice’s hair. “Your hair wants cutting.”

- “Why is a raven like a writing desk?” This is the most common question he’ll ask people. Those who get it right will put him in good spirits with them.

- The answer to the riddle, by the way, is “I haven’t the slightest idea” or just saying you don’t know. There is no answer. Lewis Carroll never came up with an answer until a bunch of fans of his work wrote to him, so Jervis stays faithful to the book.

- He’ll easily confuse you if you contradict yourself. For example, when Alice says that “I mean what I say” is the same thing as “I say what I mean”, the Hatter replies with the notion that it’s like saying “I see what I eat” is the same as “I eat what I see”.

- He has a pocketwatch that tells the day, month, and year instead of the time. And it’s two days off.

- He can’t tell the time because he believes that it’s 6:00 all the time. This is because Time, who is described as a person, doesn’t like him, and thus stopped moving for him.

- 6:00 was British tea time back then, which explains his obsession with tea.

- He loves stories, and will demand one from others.

- He also sings. Yes, he sings. “Twinkle twinkle little bat, how I wonder what you’re at. Up above the world you fly, like a tea tray in the sky.” Luckily, that’s all.

- He’s also no stranger to rude remarks, even calling Alice stupid at one point.

- There’s a point where he tries to shove the oversized Dormouse into a teapot. I like this idea because I like imagining Jervis grabbing Riddler by the hair and slamming his head into a teapot.

- He collects hats to sell them, so he has a large variety.

- He has a large fear of the King and Queen of Hearts. In fact he gets extremely anxious in these situations when under a lot of pressure and fumbles when he speaks to the point where he even fucks up a few of his movements, biting a piece out of a teacup instead of his bread.

Jervis’ possible quirks according to the books:

These aren’t particularly attributed to the Mad Hatter, but can be used as references that are good to know. Most of these are about Alice or Wonderland in general.

- Alice prefers picture books, so, being in a place of imagination, it would make sense the Mad Hatter would like them more. However, being a genius, he will read regular books if he really must. He just finds them boring.

- Despite speaking more than proper English, there are some made up words sometimes from the book that Alice or the characters use, like the infamous phrase “Curiouser and curiouser,” which was a word made up and coined by Lewis Carroll. Though, it’s not considered a legit word. Examples also incluse “pleasanter”, Expect Jervis to use a few of those.

- The metaphors are very odd and almost always come from the books, and are hard to understand. For example, “shutting up like a telescope” means to get smaller.

- At one point, Alice gets confused about who she is, believing herself to be another little girl instead of Alice. It would make sense for the Mad Hatter to call other people he believes to be “Alice” by that name, believing they’re just confused over who they are.

- He’ll sometimes speak to animals as if they’re people. Does he expect them to answer? Maybe.

- Alice is actually learning French. It would make sense for Jervis to deliberately learn French for this purpose. He just might be bilingual.

- Alice carries around a box of comfits and enjoys marmalade. Jervis might be more favorable to sweets.

- Most of the denizens of Wonderland are animals, so it can be gussed that Jervis would have a love of them.

- “We’re all mad here,” says the Cheshire Cat. Jervis could very well know he’s nuts and just rolls with it. Hell, he might even desire it, possibly refusing psychoactive treatment.

Personal headcanons:

- It’s already been established he’s short as fuck, but hey.

- Jervis names every supervillian and hero in Gotham after a character in the book. For example, Jonathan is the March Hare, Batman is the Jabberwocky, Joker is the Queen of Hearts and Harley is the king, things like that.

- He has very proper English and uses complex vocabulary, as well as made up words from the book. The only ones who can really understand him completely are Scarecrow, Riddler, and Batman, who have read the books front to back to understand him.

- He has a copy of Alice’s Adventures with him at all times. He’ll hand it to someone if they can’t understand what he’s talking about. Scarecrow dubs it “Jervis’ dictionary”.

- To calm himself down from a particularly harsh schizophrenic episode, he hums some of the rhymes from the books.

- The rhymes and phrases he mutters to himself when it gets quiet also dictate what mood he’s in. Usually he’s pretty cheerful, but the poems get darker as the more disgruntled or sadistic he feels.

- He’s prone to suddenly stopping himself in random conversations and quiet situations to squeal that he’s late or something like that. He’ll continue to freak out for a good thirty seconds before calming down and continuing to talk like nothing happened.

- No one actually knows what he’s late for, but reminding him of it is a good way to stop him in his tracks for a good few seconds. The only time this doesn’t work is with a serious event going on or if he’s upset.

- His most prized possessions are his hat and his copy of Alice in Wonderland, but in case those are every destroyed, he has, like, twenty other duplicates at home.

-He is bilingual in both French and English.

- He’ll take a hammer to any copy of the Burton movies he comes across.

Madeline is both ace/aro, so shipping isn’t very likely. 

Message me whenever you want, I’m not shy! 

For questions, please either put “muse” for Madeline to respond or “mun” for me to respond

 I don’t mind hopping out of the DC world to play with your muse! 

Be nice; you catch more hares with carrots then cages 

Mun is sexual and crack-y, muse is not

"Does he believe he's an animal?"

“Normally I’d say yes. This is Gotham city we have people who believe they’re Gods and this is the best city in the world. In this case, however..... I think no one ever taught him manners. I think he needs a hat.”

Angel: Is there anyone you would do anything for?

Jervis Tetch

Jervis is silent, staring at the notecard blankly. His lips twitch in a smile, then a frown, then his lips thinned. He took a deep breath, before looking up, his eyes sad - but his smile soft. “Alice Tetch… Alice Tetch is the one person I would choose. Not Johnathan, not my parents, but Alice.”

Mun

Anything? Probably my girlfriend. I love her so much.

Ocean: Do you take yearly vacations?

Jervis Tetch

“Yes. Every year I go to Swindon, England and Point Pleasant, West Virgina. My hometown, and where my best friend lives. In Swindon, I go to one of the gay bars I used to work at do I could buy Alice, and myself food when father wasn’t the most sober… The drag queens and owners supported and listened like a second family should. They helped me understand what I was trying to suppress for so long, and made me realize that it was a thing to embrace. West Virgina, however, was the place where I was going through a dark time. I don’t know if I would still be here without them.”

Mun

If becoming a cryptid who is only spotted in their room during the summer months count, then yeah.

Murky: what is your biggest fear(s)?

Jervis Tetch

“Hatter taking too much control, running out of prescriptions, remembering terrible things that are always in the back of my mind, and losing my sense of reality. Basically, losing things, or getting too much of them.”

Mun

Seeing my reflection or mirrors in a dark room, poisonous spiders, people finding out something they shouldn’t about me, and disappointing people I want to make proud.

Have a tea-lightful day!

Colored my fanart for @themarchinghare‘s OC Batman rogue, The March Hare! I hope this looks close to what you imagine!

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

…I’m beginning to realise that perhaps I shouldn’t be allowed to draw at this hour in the night. The brain seems to produce weird things. Ehm. :P

P.S I do love the comics with an unsettlingly serious Hatter though… Ok bye. Good day. 

👻- For something that scares or disturbs them, but they refuse to tell anyone

[nomoreears] Thank you friend for asking so many questions!

Madeline has a slight fear of dogs, including puppies. She knows it's ridiculous and most people would laugh it off, but to her dogs are vicious.

Something that disturbs her is messiness. While she doesn't have OCD seeing trash and dust lying around bothers her immensely. She was always raised in a clean environment, if the kitchen is messy then the food is contaminated.
