𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞. Jonathan Crane. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞. “ Jonny. ” pumpkin is a good runner up. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧. Summer. He’s not a fan of weather he can’t wear a sweater ( mask ) or several layers of clothing in. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 — 𝐡𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐝 ? Hot. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲. Christmas. Growing up he wasn’t allowed to celebrate the holiday aside from observing his grandmother’s religious traditions, and now that he’s an adult the season’s spirit and its festivities make him feel detached to the point where he feels almost disoriented. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝. Applesauce. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫. Spicy. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐤. Sunny D. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭. Synthetic floral fragrances. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝. “ uuuuuh… ” saying “ uh ” doesn’t help you think faster. you’re wasting his time. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐯 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐬. It’s not technically a tv show, but the hallmark channel and made - for - tv films have a way with getting on his nerves. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐚 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥. Other people. Wether they be students or teachers, they slow him down, make him feel insecure, or stand in the way of what he’s trying to accomplish. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐣𝐨𝐛. Paperwork. It’s something he can easily take care of if he’d sit down and commit to do so. Unfortunately he’s fallen into the habit of procrastinating or avoiding any part of his job that isn’t involved with his research — and now he’s collected months of documents to look over and reports to complete on his desk. The worst aspect of this is that as soon as he finds the time and motivation to take care of this aspect of his job, there’s always new paperwork to be done. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬. Closed mindedness / unoriginality. He wants nothing to do with people who feel the need to do things by the book or adopt a way of thinking that’s been prescribed to them. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞. Arlen, Georgia. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭. His experience being fired from teaching at gotham university. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬. His build and stature. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞. Navigating Arkham’s many security checkpoints. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐲𝐩𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠. Anything made out of synthetic fabric or leather. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫. Poison / toxin immunity. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞. The fact that having legitimate feelings for another means there’s a part of himself that is vulnerable to them and regardless of whether or not they know of his affection or interest, they have power enough to make him feel insecure. 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡. The prospect that if he were to die before developing a cure for fear or before being recognized for his research, that he’ll fade into obscurity and have his work stolen by another.

𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐔𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐎 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐑 𝐓𝐎𝐗𝐈𝐍.

One of the first iterations of crane’s compound was synthesized to have an amnesia - like quality so that volunteers participating in his experiments were protected from the emotional and psychological consequences of re - visiting traumatic experiences, as well as to conceal the equivocal ethics of his experiments.

He used this water - soluable, powdered, drug to help treat participants that have been diagnosed with phobias and anxiety disorders. Claiming that by observing an individual’s behavior as they recounted or re - lived a traumatizing past experience, the root of their insecurity or fear could be identified and they could be counseled to confront it.

Unfortunately, because participants had no memory of the events that transpired after they were drugged, no progress was made at the close of each trial — except for a few participants who were unlucky enough to experience “ flashbacks ” ( night terrors ) during their sleep.

This prompted Crane to discontinue the use of his drug prompting memory loss and to focus his attention on accessing the subconscious through chemical means so that, rather than asking participants to describe their dreams, he could record their response to terrifying visions firsthand.

𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐘 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 ...

Crane’s specialty, other than psychopharmacology, is the treatment of anxiety disorders and phobias. Though he rarely raises the topic himself, he’s happy to elaborate on the most obscure phobias and provide relevant factors, experiences, or a line of reasoning that may contribute to the development of an irrational fear. He doesn’t have much patience for long conversation, however enjoys approaching conceptual ideas ( his favorite being the ego, or “ persona ” as well as any interpretation of “ the shadow ” ), and doesn’t mind an amicable debate.

He’s also interested in Physiology, usually finding a way to connect the subject to neurological or chemical responses. While fascinated with the body’s sensory processes and neurological impulses towards sensation, much of his interest lies with the Amygdala and its association with physical, emotional, and psychological responses to threatening stimuli.

And of course, he will always take advantage of an opportunity to share his many theories regarding fear, perception, duality, violence, insanity, and the subconscious.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐖’𝐒 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐑𝐎𝐁𝐄.

While he has the money to replace clothing that has been torn or ruined during fights or escaping a crime, Crane prefers to keep items of his wardrobe that have been destroyed. Instead of throwing away old suits and shoes he repairs them, following a similar pattern to that of his mask featuring obvious stitching. This apparel sits in his wardrobe, forgotten, until he adds another piece to the ensemble. It’s exceptionally rare, but Scarecrow has been known to make an appearance wearing an outfit composed of an entirely stitched suit, matching pants, a distressed sweater, and stained button up.

𝐒𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐍𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐔𝐃𝐄.

Crane does not like keeping members and kingpins of organized crime as company. In fact, he has a deep resentment towards the likes of Falcone and other powerful figures in the criminal underworld. Their tendency to use status, physical power, and violence to intimidate and coerce others under their will reminds him of bullies and abusers of his past. He takes a special pleasure hearing rumors or witnessing their organizations encounter misfortune — even if he’s currently involved in their schemes.

𝐎𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 𝐎𝐍 𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐒 𝐈𝐒𝐋𝐄𝐘.

Doctor Pamela Isley’s work is impressive. She’s incredibly intelligent, and Crane views her as one of few individuals competent enough to be trusted with his research. However, he’s wary of her alignment towards nature, her aloofness, and without much justification, perceives her as vain and sensitive — though these later two opinions stem from the fact that he finds her attractive and is fixating on a flaw to dissuade his interest.

He’s not at all intimidated by her powers, as he trust they won’t be turned against him unless provoked. He has a passive interest in her own research, though apathetic towards her efforts put towards the longevity of nature and the extermination of humanity. Most of his views towards Poison Ivy are met with ambivalence. He doesn’t feel particularly dismissive of her objective, but he’s also not interested in her moral standing. Instead he maintains a safe distance, and observes her actions through media or by word of mouth.

As one of the greater subtextual themes floating around on this blog, mutuals who write muse that have observed Crane in his personal life may have picked up on his relationship between sleep and medication. This is actually part of a cycle that began long before the writing on this blog takes place ; in his early life growing up in Georgia.

Crane originally began avoiding sleep, fearing the intense nightmares that paralleled his experiences with his father, being bullied, and his mother’s episodes of delirium. Well aware of the vast long and short - term effects a lack of sleep has on cognitive function, Crane began taking medication to treat insomnia and regulate his sleep schedule during college. He noticed that when sleeping under the influence of orexin antagonist’s he didn’t experience ( or remember ) dreams as frightening or vivid as before, and began to rely on medicated sleep to attain proper rest.

When studying some of Jung’s work, Crane read “The Red Book” and grew curious of the concept of exploring the subconscious. This began a short period where he would experiment with different sleeping medication, anti - psychotics, and some recreational drugs to try and manipulate sleep and view different facets of the subconscious contributing to the idea of developing a psychotropic compound that puts one in touch with the darker regions of the subconscious.

If someone were to try and grow close or familiar with Jon, compliments and overly thoughtful gestures should be avoided. when he receives kind words he almost always begins to suspect an ulterior motive. even from someone he knows well, praise will often prompt him to briefly hold the other at a distance. if one manages to offer a flattering remark that reaches past his skepticism, he simply wouldn’t know how to respond — he’s very unused to genuine thoughtfulness and praise. In fewer cases he’ll deflect the compliment, stating a quality of another he admires to distract from his own discomfiture.

though he may still grow suspicious, in most cases, his work in fear is the safest quality of his to appreciate. he’s very proud of his mind. he knows he’s brilliant and expects everyone else does. calling him “smart” will make him scoff, but aiming a fond remark towards his research or neurotoxin will make him feel better valued — especially, if the comment comes from an individual he respects mutually.
