Also, I was actually planning to make the reader German (because I wanted to include words in another language and the traditional dances) but I decided to leave it open to readers of other European countries! So hope you like it dear🥰

(Y/C) = Your Country

(Y/L) = Your Language

Gotham!Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow x European!Reader | Headcanons + Fic

Honestly the first time he met you he would be so interested in finding more about you.

As soon as he finds out you come from another country, he can literally hear you talk about your culture all day long.

If you have an accent, oh god, he'll absolutely love it! He'll be fascinated about it and, also, expect him to ask you about how to pronounce X word or how X thing is called in your language.

Don't worry about someone making fun of you for your accent or for not being able to say an specific word, he'll take care of whoever dared to mock you.

Talk to him about your traditions! Food, dances, usual things you do in your country, etc. He'll get immersed in your culture.

He'd definitely learn your language. He'll start with the basics so he can talk a little bit to you in your language, he thinks you may feel more comfortable and at home that way.

God, when he hears you talking in your mother tongue...it literally drives him crazy 😍 He loves how beautiful your voice naturally sounds.

Show him your traditional dances & dressing! For example, if you're German, show him dirndls, lederhosen, the Bavarian folk dance, national food, etc. This of course can apply to whichever country you're from!

He has a special playlist full of songs & bands that are from your country. Also, everytime he listens any of those songs, he checks the lyrics because it helps him understand the song.

Watches documentaries about the history of your country and about it's beautiful landscapes with you.

Loves watching Eurovision with you! It makes him feel all excited 😂

He's literally by your side the whole time when Eurovision starts, especially when a band/singer from your country shows up

Don't be surprise if you wake up or are at work and receive a love note in your language ❤

Please read to him in your language out loud so he can fall asleep. He doesn't care if it looks childish, he feels so comforted by listening to your soothing voice, even if he doesn't understand what you're saying.

^ And when reading for him in your native tongue, please pet his hair. That makes everything 100% better for him.

Also, it'd be so cute to see him try to form a coherent phrase in your language trying to impress you but failing 😂 All you have to do is cheer him up and tell him that for a beginner he talks very well 🤭

___________________________________________

When Jonathan first met you, he noticed a slight accent escaping through your lips as you spoke. Even if you were excellent at speaking English, your accent still remained there. He didn't want to make you feel disrespected or uncomfortable, so he never really mentioned or even talked about you having an accent. He thought of you as enigmatic, since you didn't talk much about your past, or where you came from.

Eventually, as you grew closer, you opened yourself more to him, and told him that you came from (Y/C) without him having to ask you. He was very glad to hear you talk about your country and share the good memories you had when you were still living in your country.

He always heard a spark of nostalgia on your voice as you talked to him about your friends, relatives, and all your favourite places you went to. He was an excellent listener, as he paid lots of attention when you talked about the good memories that remained in your mind before you moved to the chaotic city of Gotham.

A year passed away after you met, and you two had recently started dating after you realised you had a lot more in common than you could've ever thought. You were practically glued, and always shared everything to each other. Even after dating and having informed himself more about your country of origin, he never personally asked you about how it is to live there.

At the present moment, you two were laying on the couch as you mindlessly scrolled through your phone, the only sound that could be heard in the whole room was a playlist full of the favourite songs you shared in common. "Hey, love," His soft and almost quiet voice suddenly interrupted the almost silence, making you lift your sight from your phone as your eyes turned to look at him.

"Yes, dear?" Your accent could be slightly heard slipping from your voice, as you gave him the sweetest of smiles. "I was wondering..." He began speaking again, as he twirled a bit of your hair in his finger. "I've read a lot about (Y/C), but I never really asked your personal experience as you grew up there." He paused for a brief moment, but didn't take him long to continue. "C-Could you talk to me more about it? I mean...about your traditions, language, culture; I want to know everything, but from your point of view." A wide smirk naturally came out of you as he finished speaking.

"Alright! Sure thing. Where shall I get started?"

Time passed very slowly, but it was enjoyable. You had spent some good hours talking to him about your country, the common folk dances, traditions, food, the people in there. What made him truly happy was not only hearing you open up more about how it was to grow up in (Y/C), but also, seeing your eyes sparkle with complete joy and your voice tone sound so enthusiastic as sweet old memories came back to your mind.

You two spent a lovely time as you taught him more about where you came from, as well as your language. In a whole year he had known you, and long months of dating, he had never heard you talk in your mother tongue. Your voice sounded so beautifully natural as you spoke (Y/L). The language topic actually showed up not because he had asked you about it, but because just to trick his mind, you randomly placed a common phrase in your language as you spoke.

For you, it was actually very funny to see how would he react. That blowed him away, he really wasn't expecting that, so he furrowed his eyebrows at you, not understanding a single thing of what you had just told him. His intrigued and confused face made you widely smile as you already expected that reaction. Of course, you had to explain it to him because the poor boy was incredibly lost.

Also, you had shown him some traditional folk dances or just silly things you'd do in your country when you were kids. Everything you had said and explained to him, plus the videos you were showing to him, made him feel personally immersed in your beautiful country. The breathtaking landscapes, the things the people from your country did in your childhood, the food, hearing your language being spoken...it all felt too personal for him, and he loved that sensation.

"Angel, I was also wondering, do you have any favourite band or song that's from your country?" He asked, and you didn't hesitate to nod your head in agreement the second he asked you. "Oh, of course I do! Look at my playlist." You opened the app where you kept a special playlist with all your favourite songs in your native tongue, he then gently placed his head on your shoulder as he took a look at your playlist. "Ooh, this one's my favourite!" You pressed play at your most favourite national song, it made you feel so soothed and you felt back home. He didn't understand a single word of it, but he loved the rythym and the strong feelings the song held.

"Baby, have you heard of Eurovision?" Your voice interrupted as you reached the middle part of the sound, giving him a happy look. He softly shook his head, "Well, I heard about it, but I never actually paid any attention to it." You raised your eyebrows, a smile growing even wider on your face.

"You're a lucky one." You happily exclaimed, "Get ready, because a band from (Y/C) is playing on Eurovision right now, and they're my most favourite! Bring my computer, we're watching them live!" He never had rushed so much in his life until now, he was so excited to see your favourite band playing live on Eurovision.

He now wasn't as clueless as he used to be about your country now. He already knew something about it, your personal experiences made him get a full personalised immersion into your country. Everything you had recently shared to him made him feel so connected to you, now on a deeper level. He could definitely get used to the European culture as long as that made you feel happy and comforted, especially (Y/C) traditions.

I have a lot of feelings about the casting for the new Dutch Les Mis production next year. Or well at least about my first impressions about those who are already casted. So imma make a post about it whether you like it or not.

The new Dutch production is just as in the West End the new production and apparently Mackintosh was very closely involved (hurray /s)

Let's start with Valjean: honestly my first impression of the actor was "Oh he'd make a great Dmitri in Anastasia." (Turned out he did play Dmitri in the Dutch run of Anastasia so I was right about that.) I don't know his voice well enough to say anything about whether he can sing Valjean's songs and I am not sure if he's classically trained. But he does have a pretty good voice from what I could find so far. My main issue is though, that he looks younger than Enjolras. This is more an issue with the Enjolras casting but I'll touch onto that later. I'd have to see him in costume before I can make any final judgements about him looking young being an issue, but it's a bit worrying. He's reading the brick though

Javert: honestly this is a casting I'm exited for. Freek Bartels was a pretty great Enjolras during the Dutch 2008 run and I feel like he would make a great Javert too. At first I wasn't too sure if he could get the unhinged vibes Javert has, but now I think about it more, I am pretty sure he can and will. He has been in a lot of shows including several classic shows and, like I mentioned, Les Mis before. So Freek, don't let me down

Enjolras: where do I even start.. not to say that Enjolras has to he played by the hottest actors out there, but Enjolras is supposed to have a certain charm around him. This actor has none of that. He's the most generic looking man I have ever seen (absolutely no offence), he looks honestly a bit too old and from the few clips of him I could find, it didn't look like he has the most stage presence, which I think is quite an important thing for Enjolras to have. You have to believe everyone wants to follow this man, you have to believe and understand why Grantaire looks up to this man so much. You have to believe him in his role and in his passion. Maybe Mark (the actor) will end up surprising me, but I don't have much hope. However, credit where credit is due, he does have a pretty good voice and looking at where he studied and his former roles he is probably classically trained or at least has been in several classical musicals before. So at least he can bring the opera sound to the performance that it's supposed to have.

Éponine: this is a casting that doesn't suprise me. A few days before I knew they were gonna bring Les Mis back I was literally thinking about how, if they were gonna bring les mis back, Vajèn van den Bosch would be cast as either Éponine or Cosette. This is mostly because she's Vajèn cause she's just kinda everywhere, but also because she is a very good actress and singer. She has been in several classical musicals and she absolutely has the voice for the role of Éponine.

Cosette: I am pretty sure the actress just graduated. And this seems to be her first big musical so all I can say is that I'm exited for her. I am sure she'll do great.

Fantine: ah yes, Channah. I've seen her in a show before as older Nala in the Lion King. This was a long time ago though and I don't remeber much of her performance. The only other role I could find was that she apparently played Tina in the German run of the Tina Turner musical and that she makes (Christian) pop music now. Honestly she can sing, but I am really worried she's just gonna sound like a popsinger instead of bringing the classical sound she's supposed to have in the role.

And last for now, Madame Thénardier: apparently Mackintosh was insanely enthusiastic about her casting but idk if that's even good anymore. Personally I don't know her and I could find that many clips of her so all I can say is that she looks very similar to most actresses cast in this role.

I am still confused about the fact that they already casted Madame Thénardier but not Marius?? Nor Thénardier himself?? There was this "les mis in a nutshell" thing the new cast did, and obviously Marius was mentioned several times. However, because there was no actor playing Marius yet, he couldn't give his side of the story so if you didn't know anything about the show you have absolutely no idea who this random Marius dude they're talking about is.

They also keep saying they've casted all the main characters, but then where's Marius?? Is Madame Thénardier a main character? And not her husband who has more to do? I am confused.

#Valjean and Javert are both played by gay actors #so Valvert? /hj #I do have tickets to see this next year so I'll give my thoughts again when ive seen it #these are just based on first impressions #les misérables #les mis #les miserables 2023 #casting impressions #dutch les mis #les miserables cast

So I finally nailed down my designs for the black heart characters (except colossus, perry/predator and Madusa I'm still massing with them) along with some head canons! The characters might look a bit weird next to each other, I didn't draw them all on the same canvas. I know I'm suppose to but I was lazy and didn't want to re draw the refs on one canvas. I also appologize for this being so long.

I'm hoping to start a comic with these guys. I always end up saying no to projects like this because I don't think my art is good enough but I think I'm going to put my foot down this time!

Hal:

Can talk(unlike my version of Cyan)

Pretty laid back but knows when he needs to be serious

Will curse you out

Thinks Aura and Nautilus are cute together

His cape works as his "soul meter"(idk what to call it). It has 3 squares on the back that represent Hal's souls. The cape becomes tattered and ripped when souls are taken.

He just wants 5 minutes of peace without someone trying to take his souls, please give him his 5 minutes of peace.

Really hates colossus

In the context of black heart I don't consider him a nano bot. He can bleed and stuff like that.

When he sleeps his body starts to heal any wounds and mend his cloths. This leaves him defenseless as he will remain unconscious until it's finished. He tries not to sleep out in the open and often uses caves and trees as temporary shelters when he needs to sleep. This can also activate when he is knocked unconscious but in cases like with Colossus the healing part is stopped.

He can change colors but he prefers red. His cloths don't change colors with him. Just his skin and his cape.

Again, in he context of black heart, I imagine Hal just kinda woke up somewhere with a bit of knowlage about himself and that's about it. Shortly after works he ran into Aura and Nautilus for the first time. He considered the battle a joke.

Nautilus:

Has glowing markings all over his body. He can cause them to glow at will

Can only breath air for around 10 minutes( this time can decrease with some conditions such as heat or cold. This is because his gills need to be wet for him to breath air, so if it's really hot out his gills will dry out faster)

Has a stutter due to the N.A.T.U thing, among other things. Like trust issues when Xero is around

Is euryhalinr(this just means he can breath any kind of water)

His suit adds about 100lbs to him (material, water, and special boots to help with balance when moving around in the suit)

Likes to make jewlary with shells and stuff

Loves Aura to death. Would litterally die for her.

His teeth work like a shark's. One falls out? You've got plenty more to fill the gap! He has given pretty much all his friends breif heart attacks when he casually spits one out after they hear the loud bone cracking noise of a tooth braking. He keeps all the teeth.

Runs on all fours for some reason. No one knows why, including Aura.

Aura:

Learned all her magic from her parents

Her parents lived like hermits because they believed people still hold witch hunts. Aura hated this because she snuck out a lot and knew that this wasn't the case.

Can be a bit forgetful with spells so she always keeps her book with her at all times

Love Nautilus to death, would die for him too.

Can't swim, her body it denser then water so she just sinks. Nautilus is almost always with her when she's near water for this reason.

Aura's wand is broken but she just keeps fixing it with tape because she doesn't know how to make a new one. She also doesn't want to ask her parents because they wouldn't let her live it down.

Made the headphones Puffer wears so he doesn't have to worry about Siren trying to mind control him, again.

Aura has a secret garden. She uses it to grow her magic plants. It has a defense system that even Jestar can't get past. Only those she has given permission can enter, but those people can give temporary permission to others. Only Nautilus, Puffer and Solario have permission to go into the garden.

Has gotten use to the weird things Natalie can do.

Puffer:

A bit of a hermit, but will open up when he trusts someone

Always has his eyes closed because he thinks his eyes look scary. He can still see for some reason? (Like Brock from pokemon, idk how he could see but he traveled like 3-4 regions like that)

Changes colors depending on emotions. Blue is calm and happy, purple is upset and sad and red is anger and frustration.

Puffer can create lots of spikes all over his body if needed as well as a set of claws. He doesn't do this often.

Likes to cook but keeps it a secret from everyone. (Aura and Nautilus found out though, they just kept the secret)

He really doesn't like Siren after what she did to him, but he will talk to her and hang out with her if someone else he trusts is around.

Really wants to apologize to Hal but he hasn't gotten the chance to yet.

Is really self conscious.

He's not very good at swimming but Nautilus teaches him when Siren isn't around or in Aura's secret garden.

Siren:

Likes to sing for no reason

Has a not so small army of skeleton fish

Is litterally heartless (she doesn't like to talk about it)

Has a crush on Puffer but she doesn't know how to fix the bridge she burned with him

Plays chess with Myst a lot(and wins a lot, much to Myst's dismay)

She can shape shift her tail into a pair of legs. This was a "gift" from Jestar to help her be a better assassin for him

Thinks Xero is a prick

Likes to steal Xero's alcohol sometimes

Can water bend. She can't blood bend though. She's tried.

Likes rock and country music for some reason

Nautilus likes to play with her fish some times.

Knows a bit about necromancy. She doesn't like to talk about it though. She never does it in front of anyone besides her fish army

Myst:

Doesn't like to talk about his life outside work

Is well over 100 years old( he lost count)

Is very protective when it comes to Shade

Doesn't really understand Shade but will support her regardless

Likes to smoke when he thinks no one is around

Can create an umbrella to protect himself if he is caught outside when the sun comes up

Likes to play chess

Is basically a dad to the other assassins

Rarely opens his third eye. This usually only happens when he gets frantic, scared or extreamly angry

Does not have any remorse over killing Parry

He doesn't eat in front of others if it can be helped

Myst told Nautilus about Shade once. He had a bad feeling and asked that if anything happened to him Nautilus would take care of her. Only problem was no one thought about the address of Myst and Shade's mansion. He found her though, don't worry.

When he is exposed to sunlight it will immediately cause him to get sunburned. If he doesn't leave after about 30 seconds- 1 minute he will start to die slowly and painfully. He has taken a lot of tea baths because of the sun

Solario:

A big dork

Very loud and bubbly

Is a prince from a kingdom galaxies away from where black heart takes place in

Was suppose to marry the moon from the moon is getting away level (haven't given her a name yet) but she unknowingly broke Sol's heart so he left. He wanted her to be happy and he clearly couldn't give her that happiness.

Doesn't understand "mortal" things but wants to learn.

Nautilus taught him the word yeet and now he won't stop using it

I headcanon that his voice actor would Gary LeVox(lead singer of Rascal Flatts)(don't ask why, I can't change what has happened in my brain)

Will stop at nothing to see his friends happy

Likes hanging out with Aura, Nautilus and Puffer

Can make himself hotter or colder at will. He tends to stay at a heat that won't hurt others when the go near him, but not cold enough to cause himself harm.

If he gets to cold he can die. He also starts to become extreamly cold or extremely hot before death. The direction his tempature goes in is dependent on what he was doing before hand. (Example: reading a book, gets shot, starts to get colder and colder. Attacking Hal trying to get his soul, shapeshifts so much he almost blows himself up, gets hotter and hotter)

Can be a bit over dramatic sometimes

He is incredibly strong. He can lift both Puffer(who whieghs roughly 230 lbs) and Nautilus when he's in his suit(so about 250 lbs) with no trouble. He forgets about his stranghth some times and has accidentally thrown a few things before quickly trying to fix it.

His shapeshifting isn't limited to just objects, he can shape shift small things about him self like his cloths or his entire body into something like a dinosaur. He doesn't do it often though. Mostly just the cloths thing.

Jestar:

Yells a lot

Thinks everyone is incompetent except Xero, for some reason

Accidentally took Puffer when Siren joined do to a confusion about Sirens powers. He refused to send Puffer home.

Colossus is basically just his pet

Xero is the only one who can get away with yelling at Jestar. No one really knows why but they hold really long arguments about all sorts of stupid stuff

Did I mention he yells a lot? I did? Well I’m saying it again. He yells A LOT.

Can shapeshift in to anything

Does not know how to handle baby Madusa. He doesn't know how to handle people in general, and he thought creating a baby was a good idea.

Xero:

Smokes and drinks a lot

Has a German accent(I can’t un heard it, I’m sorry)

Has a wrapped sense of humor

Calls Natilus “shark boy” after natilus bit him(this is related to what happened before N.A.T.U)

Calls everyone a nicknames besides Jestar.

Makes more robots then he needs and holds robot death battles at night.

Wants to dissect Siran after he found out she’s litterally heartless.

Is drunk 90% of the time but that's when he works best. He doesn't care that he has a problem either

Dressed Madusa up is costumes a lot during the 2 weeks it took him to grow up. He created a scrap book with photos of them too.

Can actually be a really nice dude when he wants to be. He doesn't normally want to be nice

90% of his robots are idiots

He's left handed

Colossus:

Is basically Jestar’s pet

Doesn’t speak a language anyone knows

Is basically a king without a kingdom

Starts out really tiny but gets really big for a short period of time once he has infected someone

Shade:

Has trust issues

Is only like 16 years old

Has normal(ish) ghost powers because she was born a ghost

Drives Myst nuts with her edgy stuff

Likes talking to Perry(she meets him after the Funk Hole level)

Can bounce between having a ghost tail to having normal legs.

Her flower is technically apart of her but she doesn't consider it part of her.

Perry:

Kinda skittish around people who look scary to him(so 90% of the black heart cast)

Has a crush on Shade but won't admit it out loud because he's scared of getting bitten in half by Myst, again.

Around 18 years old

Left home because his mom and brother suck and he wanted to be a ghost hunter like the ones he saw on tv. He got his wish for like 2 hours?

Transforms into Predator during the full moons and special moons. Special moons can have different effects on his transformation and mental state. Like a blood moon causes him to become more blood thirsty but a blue moon causes him to actually retain his normal mental state.

He has a habit of spiraling about everything

Predator:

Can't say anything understandable

Each part of his head has a brain so they agrue sometimes

Around 5X the size of Parry

Acts like a dog sometimes

Would have probably just ate Hal instead of taking the souls.

Madusa:

Can breath underwater and air without issue

Doesn't like the fact that he looks like Nautilus

Hasn't figured out how to swim fast like nautilus yet but won't admit it

Calls Jestar dad

Actually gets along well with Xero

Xero calls him Moccasin

Has markings like Nautilus but they only glow in the dark and they aren't as bright

He's allergic to shell fish

Actually had about a 2 week period where he was a kid. Xero and Jestar just gave him a special serum that caused I'm to grow up faster.

Most of his teeth ended up like Aura's but his canines are significantly sharper then they would be. Xero also found an extra set of teeth under Madusa's adult teeth.

Doesn't like the idea that his whole life rests on a tiny, easy to brake, stone on his head but just rolls with it.

Scared Jestar and Xero a lot during his first few days of life. He not only descovered his allergy to shell fish but almost got himself caught by the others a bunch of times.

All these guys belong to OL666 except Hal, he belongs to vitamin games
