I kinda wish this would have lasted a little longer not gonna lie

No yeah. I wanted a full blown panic attack. Can you imagine? He's trying to get as far away from the body as possible because he doesn't want to acknowledge it. That corpse was once his friend(?). That corpse kissed him. He's feeling caught off guard, he's feeling disgusted, he's feeling confused, he needs to get out of this situation as fast as he possibly can.

However. He's also hurt. He's pushing through the pain, but the thing about an injury is that the faster you move the worse it feels. He's in pain, he's still reeling from the kiss, and he's in shock, because Will is DEAD. He should've started hyperventilating. He should've started shaking and his strength should've gone. He should've clawed at his throat and been unable to breathe and unable to speak. The blood on his lips should have choked him.

Request: Scarecrow the comic character with MY Scarecrow the cat! Please and thank you!! This would make my day!!

I Don't Think Owning Crows AND Having A Cat Would Be A Good Combination

Request #3 Done!

Hey Moffy!!! I hope this is everything you wanted and more LOL! I couldn't decide on a proper composition for the LONGEST time, cause I didn't want to do something generic or boring looking. So we have this madness going on!!

I also know like nothing about Year One Scarecrow, other than his grandmother abused him? I think? But his design is cool nonetheless!

And you have a very cute cat <3

Do you think Jonathan would be a big fan of goats? Considering the fact that despite goats being weird and silly little guys they still invoke some fear into people due to goats being a representation of The Devil

Jonathan loves animals and has an especially big soft spot for any animals that people tend to find creepy or scary. As an expert in fear, he could understand why some people find certain animals scary, but what he couldn't wrap his head around is when people think an animal is evil. As he grew up religious, he'd find that type of thinking ridiculous. The Bible states that all animals are creations of God, so he'd be baffled that anyone who was also religious would think any animal comes from the devil or is just inherently evil. If they weren't religious and still found an animal "evil", he'd still find it ridiculous from a scientific perspective. Animals have no concept of morals and should not be held to human standards of good and evil. If anyone expressed this around him, they would be getting an earful. Those types of people are the reason he's the Scarecrow.

for the asks thing scarecrow out of costume wearing the honk shoo mimimimi pajamas looking like he hasn't slept in days 😭

Those pyjamas look awful…

Belatedly realising I haven’t actually posted my Jonathan Crane design unmasked before, so this is his… uh… first impression.

doodle request: Jon and Ed slept next to each other and woke up hugging each other without understanding what happened 🙈

edward is just so warm and soft much like a stuffed animal jon just gravitates to (even when there's a pillow barrier)

to ed's dismay when these two have to share a bed on any occasion he tends to wake up with a very sleep and cold jonathan latched onto him...

The boys from loudest to quietest in bed? And what do they prefer from their partner?

Hey there,

So, these are answered in the typical order in which they usually are (rather than as a ranking), but hopefully it’s still what you were looking for. Answers below the cut.

Cillian: May be revealed in an upcoming chapter of a certain story, so I’d prefer not to spoil it beforehand. I mean…what? 👀

Emmett: This boy loves to get vocal. He loves lots of dirty talk, both speaking it himself and hearing you talk. He’s urging you on, teasing you, and releasing plenty of grunts and groans, and the further along you two get and the closer to climax he gets, the louder in volume he becomes. He loves hearing you talk, too, teasing him back as well as begging him, and when you gasp, whimper, and are saying his name, he’s absolutely feral.

Leonard: Not very loud as far as volume, but he talks a fair amount and loves praising you and encouraging you. “That’s it, baby,”, “Thats my girl”, “Yeah, come on”, and all other similar expressions are coming from him when you two are together, and he absolutely loves hearing you gasping his name, agreeing with him, and saying that you’re his. He wants to hear you moaning and softly whining, and as soon as he sees you on the brink of climaxing, he’s urging you on with a few final sexy, possessive words of encouragement.

Neil: He enjoys some talk for both of you, but pretty minimal in terms of number of words. Instead of full sentences, it’s usually just one or two words groaned or whispered at any given point. Think along the lines of “More”, “Right there”, “Yeah, baby”, “Faster/slower”, etc. You’ve come to adopt the same behavior, especially because it’s all you two need to say to know what the other wants and needs. Outside of that, it’s plenty of wordless communication with just the sound of your moans and whimpers back and forth to each other, but hearing those noises from you is the hottest thing of all, in Neil’s opinion, outside of when you whine his name.

Robert: Doesn’t talk much at all, and doesn’t necessarily seek too much talk from you, either. Not because he dislikes it, but because it’s just never something you two have ever really needed, as you mainly communicate through looks and body language. Your eyes and your movements tell him everything he needs to know, and his do the same for you. He does, however, love to hear your noises, and outside of your moans and whimpers, his favorite sound is when you breathlessly pant his name.

Tommy: Isn’t a big fan of talking during sex. Can’t deny that he loves hearing you say his name, but beyond that, he prefers minimal talking. The only talking that occurs is when he’s telling you what to do/how to position yourself, if he’s cursing, or the occasional bit of praise he gives you. Minimal talking doesn’t mean he’s unhappy, though — it’s the exact opposite, in fact. But he just prefers to get lost in what you two are doing and not talk much.

Raymond: No talking from him at all. He’s going to express himself completely through action in the way he holds you, guides you, and responds (non-verbally) to you. He does, however, love to hear a few words from you, though, especially when you sound desperate and needy. Nothing too wordy, but hearing you say “Please”, “More”, or “Oh, God” gets him so hot, and it’s when you’re gasping his name and fisting your hand in his hair or sinking your nails into his back that he breaks his own habit of silence and is deeply groaning in pleasure. Occasionally, he’ll also let a “Fuck, baby”, or a grunt of your name escape him along with his groaning when he comes.

Jonathan: He enjoys a very generous amount of talking as foreplay and build-up, getting you hot and bothered, and he loves to see you get embarrassed and bashful. He encourages you to voice your desires and fantasies, and he demands that you speak clearly as you tell him everything. As you two continue, you’re talking a bit less, but he’s still talking you through everything and getting you to speak. Of course, he loves to hear you lose control and beg him, and he’s intentionally doing and saying things that he knows will get him those reactions from you.

Jackson: This boy may as well soundproof his apartment, because he is LOUD, and he wants you LOUD, too. Shouting, loud moaning and groaning, lots of whining and gasping, nearly constant swearing, and tons of dirty talk, much of which consists of you two insulting each other as well as encouraging each other. There are also plenty of echoes in the air of strikes and smacks as he slaps your ass and hips, which is like music to his ears. He loves it when you get so hot and desperate that you can’t argue with him anymore, though, and then he’s got you where all you can do is comply and beg, and he’s commanding you to practically scream for him.

Ooh, apparently Stefan of the Cranes is from Hakland, which seems to be central-eastern Asia inspired - Japan style island nation good for sea-faring cranes. Imagine them bringing shuriken - which they collect just for interest (because they are actually magpies) as they're not super useful for killing monsters but a manticore witcher takes one look and thinks: poison roulette. You could put a different poison on every side! Which one will hit, nobody knows, that's what makes it fun!

I am frankly terrified by the idea of someone introducing the Manticores and Vipers to poison roulette. They would have so much fun and it would be so scary.

Hey! Could I request a cute drabble (or just headcanons if you prefer) with Jonathan Crane where he’s in a relationship with reader and he breaks his right arm due to Scarecrow shenanigans, which she doesn’t not know about. So he makes up a stupid excuse, and when he comes back home, tired, upset, and in pain, after a quick trip to the hospital, reader just pampers him left and right (since he’s kind of incapacitated with his dominant arm stuck in a cast). He entertains the pampering, and secretly enjoys it after the awful day he’s had ☺️ have a good day!

( I'm so sorry for the delay, babes! I hope you like it! )

Currently reclined on the couch, an activity Dr. Jonathan Crane scarcely found himself doing, he finds himself pondering his current predicament. Yes, it had been an entirely avoidable situation on his part. Making deals with the Mad Hatter, as he liked to call himself, hadn’t been the wisest of decisions - but he needed that certain shipment containing several chemical compounds for a more enhanced strain of his toxin.

In the end, the Hatter walked away with a few less of his gang members, Jonathan lost one of his men and walked away with an ulna fracture. Figures.

After a short stint in the hospital, he trudged home with a cast and a prescription for painkillers. On the way to his apartment, he had concocted a story to feed his girlfriend, considering he couldn’t exactly hide a broken arm. When he walked through the door, after fumbling with the lock for longer than he’d care to admit, he immediately noticed that a few lights were on inside.

It wasn’t too late, but he surely thought she would’ve been in bed by now. Any notion of that went out the window when she greeted him from the couch - a warm smile on her face as he entered the living room.

That smile quickly vanished the moment she saw his cast. Quickly rushing over him, she began visually assessing him for more injuries - finding more scrapes and bruises to her horror - and asking him what had happened. He nonchalantly brushed off her concern, informing her that he took a misguided step down the stairs.

His nonchalance of the situation had apparently been unsatisfactory, because less than an hour later he found himself propped up on the couch by several pillows - waiting for soup.

Normally he would find the entire situation he was in quite ridiculous, but truthfully he was too tired and too comfortable to care. He wasn’t entirely sure if it was the painkillers, the pillows, the chamomile tea with honey, the savory scent wafting from the kitchen, or the fact that Y/N popped her head into the living room every 5 minutes to check on him - but he felt utterly relaxed.

“Has your medication kicked in yet, love?”, she asked softly, not wanting to startle him as she rounded the couch.

“It’s just starting to.”, he confirmed, offering her what he hoped was a small reassuring smile.

Sitting on the couching beside him, she gave him a look of sympathy as she brushed away a few locks of hair that had fallen onto his forehead.

“I’m so sorry you had such an awful day today, sweetheart.”, she tells him, her voice laced with her own hurt for him as she cups cheek - thumb gently stroking his cheekbone.

Jonathan found himself leaning into her touch, finding solace in her gentleness and warmth. Deciding then that he could get used to this.

“But I’m right here if you need me and dinner will be ready soon.”, she continues, leaning in to place a soft kiss on his lips. He hums contently at the affection, a reaction caused by the drugs of course. At least that’s what he’s going to tell himself.

Too soon for his liking, she pulls away and stands up. Careful not to jostle him.

“I’m going to go check on the soup and get you another cup of tea, I’ll be right.”, Y/N informs him, offering a small smile as she leaves.

He sinks further into the pillows as he watches her go, and Jonathan confirms that he could - in fact - get used to this.

I just finished watching the anime Overlord and I had conflicted feelings about Ainz the entire time like "YES DON'T EXPLOIT WORKERS AND GIVE THEM EQUALITY" and "WHY DID YOU LET DEMIURGE EAT THE CHILDREN!?!?" so to cope a little, what would be your take on Desmond reincarnating in that world? Another possible scenario I kinda want to see would be Desmond actually being one of the Supreme Beings and getting Isekai from the start of the series

Oh, nonny. You reminded me that I really need to watch the new season. I’ve been putting it off because I’m so weak for Albedo that, had it not been for my RL situation, I would have been severely tempted by these.

Anyway, let’s lay some ground rules.

The world that the anime Overlord is set in would be more or less a typical magical world. It’s ‘unique’ setup is the fact that the main character is isekai’ed in that world together with the NPCs he and his guild members created for their guild. They become pretty much the villain in this situation and the main character loses some of his humanity because he became a lich.

Sooooo… let’s fuck Desmond up and put him in a similar situation.

.

Let’s say that the game exists in his world and it’s globally published by Abstergo Entertainment, using a lite version of the Animus. It loads longer and extremely bulky compared to the Animus console in Black Flag and it’s the predecessor of the console that would be used to distribute Liberation (the version Abstergo edited).

During her free time, Rebecca messed with her Animus and made it possible to play the game (named YGGDRASIL in Overlord and we can keep it, make hints of it being connected to the actual Yggdrasil device Odin used) but, because of how her Animus works, only Desmond can go into the game. She noticed how Desmond was more relaxed playing it so she made NPCs for him because it’s a (illegal) private server. Shaun made one or two as well.

And it became Desmond’s downtime activity before leaving the Animus. It actually lowers the chance of him having a Bleeding Episode after leaving the Animus because he can go into the game and the NPCs would call him “Desmond”. It gives him time to remember who he is while still feeling the same realistic but alien sensation that the Animus gave him.

He also starts messing with the world. Well… the small kingdom that they created anyway.

They based it on the guild system with Desmond as the leader. At first, Rebecca created two NPCs based on her and Shaun to help Desmond get used to the control.

Afterwards, they started filling up their base with other NPCs that would work as bosses for each levels. Rebecca had to mess with the setting because there was no players to attack their base so she made NPCs and monsters from outside the base attack it randomly. This gives Desmond more to do.

What Desmond enjoyed though was managing the headquarters and upgrading the buildings and facilities. Shaun joked that this was because of Ezio and maybe it was.

Before long, Desmond was making his own NPCs and no one had the heart to tell him that he was making NPCs based on his ancestors and people they know (especially after Rebecca painfully elbowed Shaun before he could say anything the first time Desmond presented them with his first NPC)

After they got to the Grand Temple, Desmond used the game more like a coping mechanism, making their home impregnable with the best facilities he could think of (even going as far as research architecture and stuff)

By the time they got the key from Connor Davenport’s grave, Desmond had:

Created an underground tower with more than a hundred floors or so with their own themes and ‘gameplay mechanics’.

His first NPC has become the second in command, based on a homebrew race that Rebecca could only describe as ‘like human with divinity in them but with more omph!’. He’s based and named after Altaïr and is so OP that Rebecca actually says that he’s pretty much unbeatable. Desmond doesn’t care, it’s not like he was playing the game to play it with other people after all. Altaïr is magic-focused with maxed out magic and speed. His favorite attack is to rain down the stars in the sky and turn the lands into a cacophony of explosions.

Desmond’s second NPC isn’t any better. He’s based on Ezio and there’s actually three of them, each based on the three major points in Ezio’s life that Desmond relived. He’s in charge of the second to the last level, not that anyone has gotten that far to be honest. All three of them have different focus. One focuses on physical melee, one focuses on long range physical attacks, and the other focuses on magic. His level is actually the most populated because it’s filled with ‘cannon fodders’ that Desmond named after people Ezio recruited.

There’s a lot more NPCs that are bosses. Ratonhnhaké:ton is actually one of the ‘youngest’ NPCs created and Desmond barely managed to optimize his skill set. He’s a shapeshifter and, just to be a dick to anyone who want to go explore their base, he’s not a boss but a ‘traveler’. If the intruders have been in the same level for more than the specified (secret) time limit, Ratonhnhaké:ton would teleport to the floor and randomly take the shape of one of his forms. A wolf with a pack of ghost wolves, a large and fast bear with high self-healing stat or a large eagle that can phase through walls, all of which are picked at random. (In other words, Ratonhnhaké:ton works like the Reaper of the latter Persona games)

There’s a Malik NPC who acts more like a secretary and is in charge of Desmond’s level if he’s ‘offline’. (Does this mean Malik is Desmond’s Albedo? Uuuhhh… let’s just say he shares the same occupation as Altaïr in this case).

Shaun’s NPC is the boss of the library level where everything and anything is stored. In the Animus, this is actually Shaun just cramming every information he sees into the game because, hello, it actually has a bigger size than his laptop’s hard drive. A lot of shit in there was taken through… the ‘high seas’.

Rebecca’s NPC is the boss of the topmost (first) level. She wanted her NPC to act more like a tutorial guide and honestly? Being the first level boss means her NPC gets a lot of ‘screen time’.

Haytham is also a boss in one of the lower levels and his stage is set in a cathedral. He’s only one of the few NPCs that have a holy attribute.

Desmond doesn’t know it but the other NPCs he made are actually based on AC characters he will never meet (Edward, Arno, Shay, Jaocb, Evie, etc). He just thought he was filling up the roster and making different themes (Viking, Ancient Greece, Steampunk) because he was bored.

Oh. The last NPC Desmond created is a dragon egg he named Clay. Whether this Clay is an actual NPC dragonling or is actually Clay’s digital avatar that will get screwed up by his new draconian lineage is up to you XD

When he dies after saving the world, he wakes up in a bed that he recognized as the bed he always teleports into whenever Rebecca switches the Animus to the game for his downtime.

He knows something is wrong because his body feels weird but he would never understand how badly he’s fucked because his body composition stops him from seeing it as a fuck up.

Because Desmond’s player character?

The race of his character is a homebrew God race.

And Desmond is a god that cares for those who worship him and sees those who do not as dirt on the road.

.

In other words, Desmond and his ‘guild’ gets transported at the opposite side of where Ainz was transported. Also, Desmond’s base is underground so it took a bit of time before people realized they were there.

Enough time for Desmond to realize how the world he was in right now needed the guidance of a god who will be merciful to those who worship him.

Jonathan doesn't seem the type to show when he's worried about people, but are there any times when he can't help it and he just sort of blows up because people he cares about are being careless and he doesn't want them to die?

Jonathan isn't very good at obviously expressing vulnerability. He's spent pretty much all this life building bigger and stronger walls, masking everything. Vunerbility is horrifying to him. It's painful to love. It can be taken away from him in an instant. What would he be left with then? It can't happen again it can't happen again it can't happen again

Ok, so weird request: Scarecrow, except given the same peacock treatment the Riddler has. (Because what's better than 2 flamboyant bastards)

Yes, yes. Went for a raven/horseman sort of look. Maybe don’t let me design costumes anymore.

Hey I’m sorry if I am missing a post somewhere explaining this, but I was wondering if you would be willing to tell us about your Jon’s backstory? Ed too!

no no you’re not missing anything! i didn’t think people would wanna know if i had my own stories for them, and in full honesty i don’t… they’re just a mix of comics and media that i really like of them! though just for you i decided to redesign them and actually make character notes that hopefully answer this in the way you where hoping for!

im not a writer so if these don’t make sense i can explain more in the comments! and if any of y’all like these i’m also making playlists for them if you want i can release them some other time
