Jon’s Romantic Relationships During the Scarecrow Years, Complete with Why They Ended

So, as I work on my timeline and settle on details, this rather spur of the moment idea came to me.  Jonathan was active as Scarecrow from 2011-2014, then again from 2016-2018.  For the sake of consistency, I will also include his romantic relationships from 2014-2016 just to make it clear that he wasn’t single during that period.

Another thing I want to note, just for the sake of clarity, is that Jonathan Crane is not exactly one of those people that gets into healthy relationships.  The reasons these relationships are toxic are not one sole person’s fault.  Some of them are abusive, some of them are just unhealthy.  Jonathan is also just not a particularly good person, and at his worst moments he can be one of the worst people in the Rogues Gallery to date.  So if you read here something Jonathan or another rogue has done and think that makes them a bad person: that is the point.  The Rogues are not good people, they’re not supposed to be, and their relationships are going to be messy and unhealthy.

Harley Quinn (2005-February 2012): Two reasons for this.  First, Jonathan had gone off his meds for a year without telling Harley, who found out around the same time she found out he was the Scarecrow and Jonathan, kind of in a haze of adrenaline, threatened her not to tell anyone.  Not even a month later, Harley startes a relationship with Joker and hid it from Jonathan until she was caught committing a crime and arrested.  Jonathan and Harley got into a very heated argument in the visitor’s area two days later in which Harley outed Jonathan being off his meds and tried using that to justify cheating on him.  Jonathan promptly ended things and left.  They did not talk for over a year afterwards.

Killer Croc (September 2012-January 2013): As will become a running theme, Jonathan broke up with and ghosted Waylon while dealing with Hugo Strange and did not tell Waylon what was going on.  Waylon found out through a mutual friend.

Two-Face (February 2013-September 2013): Another two reason situation.  Firstly, this was about when Jonathan’s issues with addiction were hitting an all time high and he definitely cheated on Harvey several times during the relationship, several times specifically to make Harvey jealous.  Secondly, Harvey’s mental health was at an all time low, and he was prone to very violent outbursts that turned into routine abuse.  Harvey ended things at the suggestion of his therapist at the time, both for the sake of his mental health and Jonathan’s safety.

Riddler (September 2013-November 2013): Edward realized he was a rebound and broke things off, suggesting Jonathan maybe work on himself for a bit.

Joker (December 2013-February 2014): Jonathan didn’t do that, then realized Edward was right and maybe he shouldn’t be dating an abusive piece of shit who is still dating his ex.  He had to break his phone and leave the state to get Joker to leave him alone.

Harley Quinn (April 2014-November 2014): Remember how lying and infidelity were the reasons these two broke up the first time?  Yeah they kept doing it the second time and it only ended because their respective green-toned bestie chucked their phones into Gotham Harbor and dragged them out of state.  They broke up via bestie communication and Ivy had to drag Harley out of state a second time when she tried to key Edward’s car.

Riddler (November 2014-January 2015): Jonathan, once again, ghosted his significant other while dealing with Hugo Strange, only this time he didn’t tell Edward they were breaking up.  Edward found out when someone told him Jonathan was in Europe.  He had been worried about Jonathan for ­weeks.  Yeah, they broke up.

Constantine (June 2015-January 2016): Jonathan had to return to Georgia to help his then 14-year-old sister, Adriane, deal with palliative care for their grandmother, as their mother had lost custody of Adriane 6 years prior.  Further, after their grandmother’s death, Jonathan had to handle custody of Adriane—which he could not take over at the time, the will and estate, his mother being an absolute nightmare by trying to impose a conservatorship on him and retake custody of Adriane, and grieving the only parent he ever had a stable relationship with…and the whole time Constantine was completely unreachable and proceeded to pretend he didn’t know Jonathan when they crossed paths again.  Jonathan didn’t just end things, he threatened to kill Constantine if he ever saw him again.

Riddler (January 2017-): At current the last relationship of Jonathan’s Scarecrow years.  I don’t have an end date at the moment because I’m not actually sure they end things after they leave their old monikers behind.

I watched the new Spider-Man across the spiderverse

[espresso-ships]

Idk who needs to hear this, but

Whenever I see a self ship double, or a popular canon x f/o ship and feel sad/insecure about it, I like to imagine that it's an "alternate universe", meaning that it's just a different version of your f/o.

The real version? They're with you. They're yours, and love you only.

No one can change that fact.

They love you, so damn much.

No one else - nothing else - matters.

YOU are their canon partner.

"I am my f/o's canon and real partner" - say it, manifest it, because it's true.

It's real. 💕

Some fanfiction authors are actually insane, I started reading a fic those days with ~87k and only 8 chapters and the author promised more chapters soon and I'm just ... Do you guys sleep? Do you guys get a warm meal? Pls go to sleep.... I commented in every chapter but for the love of God take care of yourself!

i think i once wrote a 40k fanfic for a fandom i wasnt in entirely out of spite in about 2 weeks so. no. none of us are ok.

[weedle-testaburger]

ships in trigger shows are great bc you simultaneously ship them and wish you were one or both of them

if you tell me you wouldn't want to be one of these two and date the other i don't believe you for a second

[ruthlesslistener]

God I'm rereading the Lord of the Rings series, and I forgot how fucking funny Aragorn and Eowyn is. Contemporary writng makes you groan and go 'ah here it is lads here's the unnecessary crush' whereas everytime they look at each other its more like this:

Aragorn: what a sad young woman. I hope that she finds peace with herself, rather than waste her life recklessly in despair

Eowyn, through gritted teeth: i just want to fight like you do so fuckin bad

[capsensislagamoprh]

You can go ahead and blame @ruanek & @blonndiec for this shit. SUCK IT UP, BITCHES!

<3 you all. Party in Ten-Forward!

I just answered an ask regarding the idea that some people ship Macdennis but do not want it to be "canon," wherein Canon Macdennis is defined as Mac and Dennis having an on-screen undeniably reciprocal hook-up.

While my belief is that most Macdennis shippers do want this, I want to data mine the Fandom, because maybe I'm completely wrong!

P.S. "Endgame" can mean "only if it lasts" or "only if it's at the series finale", doesn't matter how you read it, it's more so because I want to know if your yes is conditional upon future episodes (or lack thereof).

If your "other reason" for saying no is "because Rob/Glenn are too ugly/old now" just click the "Don't ship it" button, thanks.

I'm invested now, why don't you like fluttercord?

Okay, here we go then, why don't I like one of the most famous and prolific ships on the fandom?

First of all, there's a major power imbalance at play, you know, chaos god that can reshape mind and reality with a snap of his fingers matched with a regular pegasus girl, and an drastic age difference (which could be discarded cause Fluttershy's an adult, just worth a mention.)

But the primary issue comes from the canon itself, especially with how they came together. Fluttershy was just shafted for her full responsibility to be to make sure Discord gets better; Something that already was a strange choice of Celestia (like girl why are you throwing a random mortal you dont know that well onto a godlike chaos being even you struggled with? It reeks of writers already having come up a solution and not wanting to build a foundation to lead there.) and canon proves again and again that if discord doesnt have fluttershy around, he will make bad choices and hurt people, something that gets proven again and again all the way to gen fucking five. That's textbook codependency and it makes it even more weird by the incredible, terrifying power imbalance. Discord isnt just an alicorn, hes the only one of his kind because of how powerful he is, and his powers are insanely dangerous to have on a relationship with a mortal. Like, you saw how he was when he was jealous of Fluttershy for having a diffrent friend. Can you imagine what he'd do if somebody flirted with her? (even if they weren't dating, if Fluttershy said she got a girlfriend or whatever, Discord would straight up throw rainbow dash on a labyrinth of infinite agony)

I think my primary issues come from the canon because he is always abusing his powers, never using them wisely, and always causing trouble (WHICH WAS THE ORIGINAL POINT OF EVEN BRINGING HIM BACK TOO)-- And the ratio of slaps on the wrist lower dramatically by the end (the final conflict is entirely his fault purely because he thought having a conflict would be cool)-- All of which just makes him untrustworthy to be on a relationship with a mortal hes obssesed with. He'd be like a yandere boyfriend exept a chaos god, which, yikes!

Srsly the fact that cozy glow the toddler gets sent to hell and turned to stone instead of the chaos god that sponsored her is just plain WEIRD. It's a writers problem.

There's a reasons why Alicorns have to ascend, earn their power-- And why they tend to abuse it less. Being born with power just begets a diffrent attitude towards it; Which is smth that the writers do interpret quite well, with how Discord acts. he has no empathy, he doesnt need to care, because reality is his to shape, and then boom, teaching someone to be better just became a lot harder. Good character! Very funny, very well designed and voiced-- But goddamn he's weirdly written as a ""Good"" guy.

Now lets finally turn to the woman in the relationship. because Fluttershy is a normal mortal gal with a normal mortal life with her own needs, which generally shouldn't have to involve her entire life or routine on making sure a godlike manbaby does the right thing with his powers. it doesn't feel like the kind of thing that has any consent to it, after all, discord doesnt need to ask for anything, he can just do. (THANKS FOR THE IDEA CELESTIA) It just reeks of a kind of misoginy-ass writing where the woman has to bend over backwards for the man.

Its like the shy pegasus was just. Set up for LIFE on this strange relationship. Its kind of creepy.

And Fluttershy just deserves better than him in my opinion; And she can do better, too. Also it doesnt help that you know-- 99% other ship with fluttershy dont have any of these issues lmao. Even canon Rainbow Dash would treat her better, so i dont bother with Fluttercord ever!

Trying to find FinnPoe fanfics that aren't just in the background of Reylo is like trying to find a needle in a haystack on a planet of the biggest, most rotten haystacks you've ever seen.

[fruity-phrog]

It’s so funny he’s literally just Some Guy. We all saw the bell keeper and went crazy with theories he’s Hilda’s dad he’s Hilda’s uncle he’s not human no he’s just A Dude. A Fella, if you will. Some Fucker with autism.
