#and that story is garbage

[maxwell-grant]

im researching Scarecrow hench-people and the DC wiki is really unhelpful, can you give me a list of a few notable ones. Also who's this Autumn from the Audio Adventures people keep mentioning. Is she a canon character or is she an OC

thank you! also loved the list you did of your favorite hench people

Thank you! Now that you mention it, it does seem like Scarecrow's kinda lacking in terms of notable henchmen, even purely in terms of visually distinct one-offs. It might have something to do with how little he's been traditionally focused on crime and coalition building, per se, and more so on lone terrorist campaigns and experimentation. Besides Scream Queen, who I already went into in the other post, these are the ones that I can think of:

Autumn / Miss Autumn is canon to TBAA, she just never showed up in the show. We hear about her in S1 via two scenes where Miss Tuesday talks about her friend in Scarecrow's gang, another villain assistant named Autumn that she always texts with and coordinates with, and then later she'd appear in issue #6 of the Audio Adventures comic, kidnapping Dick while he's disguised as a Burma Shave Boy and bringing him over to the Scarecrow as part of his plan. She claims to be a scullery maid in charge of the "kitchen" and is instructed by Crane to prepare a new batch, and Dick finds an Arkham Asylum physician's clearence and security badge that might belong to her, given Miss Tuesday in the show claims to have grown up in Arkham and the two seeming to be fairly close friends.

The Audio Adventures Special prequel comic released along with S2 also showed that, along with his biker gang to peddle in the street, he employs dealers hidden in plain sight such as the elderly librarian Mrs.Elliot, who we don't get to know much more about other than her being known by Dick and his friends, and a willing enthusiastic participant in the Scarecrow's plans to sell drugs to kids, as well as kidnap and experiment on them.

In terms of notable henchmen I think the first one he ever got were the Strawmen from Batman #296: said to be named Otto and Raymond, former students of his who've joined him and became students of the Scarecrow, serving as the muscle to his operation.

There's Linda Frittawa / Fright, introduced in a Judd Winick arc by the name of "As the Crow Flies", who became his assistant and confidant, while secretly manipulating him under a deal she made with the Penguin. She's the one who turned Scarecrow into the Scarebeast, and eventually showed up later working for Jeremiah Arkham Black Mask.

Not quite a henchwoman per se but there is a character named Haunter who showed up in the 2017 Batman (vol.3) annual, who's able to kill people with her DNA and who coordinates a small-scale fear gas with Jonathan to make her escape from Arkham, and it's said the two had a "twisted mutual admiration thing" before Batman put her away. She's only made two appearences in total, in two anthology shorts penned by her creator Scott Bryan Wilson, and I'm including her because given her name and gimmick and lack of prominence, she might as well be a Scarecrow henchwoman or partner or extension of his deal.

There's a fairly long pattern of Scarecrow being responsible for the creation of new villains with his experiments even if they don't necessarily go on to become henchmen - Madame Crow from Tynion's run was a former student who was tortured with fear toxin for months and took over a year to recover, before embarking on her own fear toxin campaigns. Colin Wilkes from Streets of Gotham was an abused orphan kidnapped by Scarecrow and given Venom injections before being ordered to attack Batman, and who was freed and became a hero. The Gotham Knight movie states that this version of Killer Croc was experimented on by Jonathan Crane, who caused his condition to worsen and seems to have kept him around a sewer hideout as an attack dog. The Titans show had him behind the resurrection of Jason Todd and his transformation into Red Hood, and Gotham had him create the show's version of Joker Toxin that kicks off Jeremiah Valeska's transformation.

And finally, we'd be remiss not to mention that a couple of times in his older appearences he's had a pet raven named Nightmare, a concept that's come up again in more recent kid-friendly books where it's named Croward instead, who assisted him in his criminal endeavors. I suppose that raven evidently doesn't make too much sense given Crane's backstory revolving around the crow trauma inflicted on him by his grandmother, or that trained birds are still very much Penguin territory in spite of him never using them anymore, or it clashing too much with the darker tone and vibe he's supposed to have, but there's a self-evident charm to the scarecrow-themed villain having a pet raven circling him.

I think a major point that the live action completely misses and honestly a lot of people haven’t brought up. Is that in the original Nani WANTS Lilo around. Yes because Liko needs her and no one else understands Lilo like she does. But also because Nani needs Lilo just as much as Lilo needs her. Lilo was just as much all Nani had left same as Lilo. And to just not acknowledge that. To pretend like Nani stayed with Liko just out of some grander sense of responsibility and it’s “what she’s supposed to do” is to throw away their sisterhood.

The whole live action is Lilo talking about how smart and kind and amazing Nani is and how she has all these dreams and how she was really good at all these things until Lilo. Not once does it seem like Nani is even interested in Lilo or her hobbies outside of her responsibly to look after her as her older sister. She doesn’t care that Lilo’s been kicked out of hula class even tho Lilo in the OG loves hula, she immediately wants to take stitch back to the pound and then goes on a whole tirade about how you can’t let Lilo “trick” you into doing all these things, she doesn’t care when Lilo tries to show her the Elvis CD trick, She not there surfing with Lilo cause it’s an enjoyable pastime and something she loves and wants to share with her sister she’s there because it’s her new job.

Through out the movie Nani is part of the people that make Lilo feel ostracized which is completely antithetical to the original movie where Nani is fighting so hard to make the world a place Lilo feels accepted in.

So no the movie didn’t need to be a one to one remake of the original but it shouldn’t be a completely different movie either because then what’s the fucking point!!!

In this version I’m not even convinced that Nani actually LIKES Lilo.

And honestly the film doesn’t try and convince you that she should. Lilo is indistinguishable from any other movie child that is either a bundle of destructive chaos or just a mini adult both played for jokes.

I can imagine Clora reading the "Final Problem" where Sherlock "DIES" and being depressed for like a month and sending hate mail to Conan Doyle while Sebastian tries to cheer her up.

THATS SO FUNNY YOU SENT THIS BECAUSE I LITERALLY DECIDED THE SAME THING A WHILE BACK BAHAHA i plan to mention it in my fic too

seb would 1000% find clora crying during their seventh year when "the final problem" is published LMAOO and he'd freak out wondering whats wrong. and when i read about how tons of doyles' fans sent him hate mail and were outraged i was like yup, clora would've been one of them BAHAHA. ["Obituaries for Holmes appeared everywhere. Petitions were signed and “Keep Holmes Alive” clubs were formed."] CLORA WOULD HAVE FORMED ONE OF THOSE CLUBS TOO LMFAOO

all the outrage made doyle resurrect sherlock a decade later, so that also means when they're older + married + have kids, clora's just gonna burst into the room one day and be like "HES ALIIIIVEEE!!!!!!!" BAHAHHAA clora's hate mail to arthur conan doyle is what brought back sherlock, CONFIRMED!!💯💪✨

Listen. I'm not saying Rick Riordan is biased towards Luke Castellan (and biased against Octavian), but i'm not not saying that either. I mean...it seems clear that there's something going on here. Luke wanted to raise Kronos and destroy Olympus. He wanted to bring us all back to the dark ages! But his goals were always described in such a sympathetic way. Luke gets to go to Elysium in the end. Percy never managed to bring himself to hate Luke. Everyone acts like Luke's some poor baby, when he was definitely in control of most of his actions during those books. Age as going to forget how we treated his men? It wasn't great. And yet still, luke was treated like a sad and tragic figure (despite his clearly horrendous goals).

Now, let's compare this to rick's treatment of Octavian. Octavian is called so many different names throughout these books. Anemic Loser. Horrible Roman Child. That Creature. Barbarian. Dirt Wipe. He was even described as looking like a Scarecrow a few times, which feels a little insulting. Then Rick also has his protagonists say they want to launch him out of a catapult, and then he actually dies being launched out of a catapult! Octavian probably doesn't go to Elysium, because Rick Riordan doesn't like this kid, and he makes that painfully obvious.

So...you tell me. Is Rick Riordan biased towards Luke, or am I just misremembering things? Because it sure feels to me like he's biased towards Luke. And by proxy, biased towards the Greeks. Because with the exception of Reyna, Jason, Frank and Hazel, how many good romans do we really meet? In the books, there's pretty much 0. Which screams that Rick Riordan has some weird blind spot towards greece, and some huge hatred of rome. I don't get it, but his biases have only had the opposite effect on me. I hate Luke but love Octavian. So somehow i've drawn the exact opposite of the conclusions he seemed to want me to draw.

The first day of the new school year began much the same as any other; being accosted by the hallway monitor for dawdling, having inappropriate footwear and daring to possess yet another pair of headphones, only for them to remember who he was and abandon any hopes of receiving an explanation, or an excuse.

Robin thought he would’ve outgrown his selective mutism by now, but apparently, it didn’t work like that. He’d eventually seen a therapist a few years prior, but the poor man didn’t exactly have a handbook for “strange child who can’t speak sometimes due to other people’s overwhelming head voices but won’t/can’t explain himself to anyone other than a ghost who’s stuck in his attic” so, it’d fallen a little flat. At least, that’s what he kept telling himself; but the older he got, the more he started to think he’d been using his gift as a convenient excuse for some of his issues. Maybe. Possibly.

Much less bombarded than when he was little, Robin could usually tune out the everyday chatter within surrounding minds, though he rarely did. He’d become far too accustomed to being nosy, and at this point it was weirder NOT to hear everyone else’s thoughts. It produced an intense itchy feeling that was almost impossible to ignore, as though he’d miss something important the moment he stopped listening.

As a result, Robin struggled to live in the moment, and for himself; constantly juggling other people’s thoughts and emotions as well as his own. Sometimes he wondered if he’d understand his brain better if it belonged to someone else, like if he could observe it from a distance as with everyone else, it’d make more sense-.. or maybe paying more attention in Mr Fitzherbert’s biology classes would help. He supposed he was still overwhelmed after all, just better at hiding it.

Either way, he wasn’t about to admit to all this nonsense out loud, especially not if it landed him in Doctor Abbott’s office again. The last thing he wanted was for anyone to find out how weird he actually was, least of all a psychologist. Think of all the experiments they’d want to do, all the prodding and poking-.. or worse. Robin shuddered at the thought. No, thank you!

I hold your head in my hands. You are so tall now, you need to almost sit on the ground for me to be able to reach your mask at all; it feels like just yesterday I barely had to raise my hand to do so. In a way, it was indeed just yesterday. Everything has been happening so quickly.

With my thumb I brush some of the soot and ash from its crevices. You eye my finger with a slight annoyance - I know that look, the words about to push through the Arthron: at a certain point you've grown aggrieved by this kind of care and insisted I needed not fuss over you. The Captain of the Guard must be self-sufficient, after all.

But you are a Toa now, and for some reason that mere fact makes you relent, and you indulge my anxious hand.

I say: I see Lhikan in you.

Your gaze averts mine immediately. Its citrine glow is in equal parts flattered and contrite.

I say: In your devotion towards your duty, towards protection. In your love for your fellow Toa and Matoran. In your compassion and desire to do right, to be good.

I feel you sink a little further in my hands.

There's a weight in you that I berate myself for not noticing sooner. How could I?, a part of me reasons. You were gone for most of the time I could see you like this, and there was always something else to be done, something else to attend to. But I know I guided your brothers much more closely, though you were my favorite, and guilt sinks its claws in me.

Is it the same guilt that makes you now so heavy in my hold?

The thought clings to my lungs.

I say: But I fear I cursed you, with that mask - with those stories of Lhii, the surfer. I fear I set for you a pedestal that cannot be reached, and damned you to strive for it forever.

Such warmth blooms from your hand as you go to grab my wrist (my palms used to have that constant heat too, before it dimmed as they once again grew small). Are you trying to comfort me, to reassure me?

"It's my own fault," you mumble.

My grip curls around your cheeks.

I say: Do not say that.

"It's true," you insist. Your eyes avoid mine. "I should have been better. I was supposed to be better. I had you and Tahu as an example, and I still failed."

I say: We weren't exactly the best models you could have had, were we?

"That's exactly it," you reply. "I had all your mistakes to keep me in check, all your flaws to remind me how to behave, all your failures I had to avoid making myself. I swore I would be better - I would be someone you could be proud of from the start. I swore I was going to do everything right, and instead failed. Teridax got the better of us because I played into his hands."

I say: None of us could have predicted a scheme of that scope.

"None of you let one of yours die."

Weren't you listening? When I recounted the way I let him fall before my eyes, because of my foolishness? Because I thought I could handle a power I had barely managed to give a shape to?

I don't say that.

I say: He was the last of the Mangai.

I say: His siblings slipped through his fingers. He lost them all, one by one, and he could only watch helplessly at best.

"And at worst?" you dare to ask.

I say: He had to crush them himself.

Your eyes still do not meet mine.

I say: In my love for him I forgot he was only a Toa - a living being, like the rest of us. The whole city had been too blinded by the golden shine of his mask to remember his armor was the same red as that of any Ta-Matoran. In my mind he was incapable of failing, impossible to break down, impervious to grief, but he wasn't; he was lonely, and tired, and hurt. He failed. He failed, many times. Just as we did.

What would I give for you to look at me.

What would I give to have you return my gaze.

What are you thinking? What is twisting in your mind? What terrible thing are you burying yourself in within your thoughts?

Your fingers fidget around my wrist.

"The Jaller you knew," you murmur, "Would he have done better?"

The Jaller I knew...

It's the first time you've asked something like this.

I wonder if it has sat in the back of your brain like nagging enigma ever since you learned of your past life.

The Jaller I knew...

My memories are hazy.

How strange. I used to be afraid this would happen - that I would forget you as you were, that I would forget everything as it was; that your old words and mannerisms, your way of being would one day melt away from my mind, and I would look upon this new self of yours only to find a stranger. But now that it is happening I don't find it nearly as frightening.

I know the old friend I shared my life in Ta-Metru with is gone, completely and utterly. I can't do anything about it. But I know you, still: you're anything but a stranger to me. You are the captain of my Guard. My Toa.

You are someone I watched grow.

My thumb brushes your Arthron again. It's clean.

I say: The Jaller I knew would have never dared going against a Turaga's word. If he had been in the place of the Jaller I know, the Nuva would have never returned from Voya Nui, and we would have been left adrift within a universe collapsing on itself.

You squeeze your eyes shut.

My mask leans against yours.

I say: You did everything you could to save us all. You succeeded.

Finally, finally, your gaze meets mine.

I say: I am proud of you.

Warm arms wrap around my chest; your head pushes through my hands until I feel it press near my heartlight.

I can hear your breath faintly as I wrap myself around your head, as though I could shield you away from the whole world in the way that golden Hau I bestowed upon you couldn't seem to do.

Is this the 'love' Agori talk about?

It feels so familiar.

I hold you.
