#yes I’m a jon kinnie

4, 14, 16 & 23!

So sorry for the late response, I got blindsided by work! I loved answering these though, thank you so much for sending them in!

My Version of Jonathan Crane Ask Meme!

Original post/questions here!

4. If they happen to be, which pre-existing Crane are they most based off of?

OHHHHHH…. GOOD QUESTION. I base my Jon overwhelmingly after his Silver Age appearances (adjusted to modern day) and BTAS Jon, with some bits and pieces of Year One and Arkham Asylum thrown in for flavor. I won’t lie and pretend that at least a bit of the acerbic personality my Jon has wasn’t inspired by my introduction to the Rogue’s fandom back in the mid-2010’s too though, lol!

14. Do they like or dislike The Legend of Sleepy Hollow?

He has a,,, complicated relationship with it. On one hand, like, he loves to read and he certainly has a soft spot for all kinds of books and he recognizes Sleepy Hollow as an important piece of American literature, but he didn’t go out of his way to style himself or his Scarecrow persona after Ichabod.

Also, the kids on the internet keep comparing him to the book and calling him a “kinnie” whatever the fuck THAT means. He refuses to mention it to any of the other Rogues because he’ll sooner die than admit that he doesn’t know everything and that he still gets flustered over words strangers call him on message forums. The same kids who so glibly call him this are weirdly silent about the subject whenever Jon corners them in a dark alleyway with a canister of Fear Toxin to interrogate them about it. He has decided, for the sake of his health and happiness, that some things are better left unknown.

16. Do they have any disabilities or disorders? Mental and/or physical

Respectfully, I avoid writing for most mental disorders because 1. I don’t think I could write them properly, and the last thing I want is for someone to be hurt by what I write and 2. The topic in general is really triggering to my anxiety problems.

Concerning Jon’s physical disabilities, he suffers from myopia, so he relies pretty heavily on prescription glasses/contacts to see. He also has a very slight limp in his left leg from a bad confrontation with Batman- it’s practically imperceptible to anyone who isn’t aware of the injury because Jon goes to great lengths to hide it, but age is not kind to chronic pain, and it’s not uncommon for it and other old wounds to ache whenever he wakes up.

23. If you've written a fic with them, what is your favorite part that you've written? Could even be a whole fic that you're proud of

I admittedly have a soft spot for this fic. It was the first longer piece I’ve ever posted online, and my first fic on Ao3- it’s definitely not perfect, but it’s special to me, you know?

If I had to choose a favorite excerpt, I thiiiink it would be this? I prefer writing dialogue, so any time I write a descriptive passage that I’m actually pleased with is a big personal achievement lol.

How long has it been since he’s been here last? Ten... no... twelve years? Dear god.

Despite the time gap, the café was just how he remembered it. Of course, things have changed- repainted walls, some refurbished furniture, and all of the regulars he shared the space with have long-since retired or graduated. Still though, things were fundamentally the same. College students mingling with each other, some trying to tutor less than-enthused peers, some study groups feverishly swapping notes with each other. The minimum-wage baristas, as expected, passed the time by flirting, or trying to study for their own classes. Yes, everything was just the same as he had left it.

And in the thick of the chaos, in the corner table sat Jonathan Crane, either up to his neck in library books, or helping out his students. Despite a more casual setting, the café had become just as academic of a place to Jonathan as the Gotham U libraries or the psychology conferences he used to attend.

dream smp but as a starkid muscial cast

 Going off my last post, I decided to put together a dream Starkid cast for a DreamSMP musical if there ever were to be one. Let's say the musical is based on Arc 1, since back then the characters were a lot more one-dimensional and it's a lot easier to match into a standard length Starkid musical. Without any wafflin, here's the best cast and no you can't disagree with me /j;

Dream – Curt Mega – I have no explanation for this, I just think he could pull him off pretty well? Curt is really good if you give him a lead, I mean look at SAF. Let my boy have a lead, Starkid. I'm gonna riot if you don't.

Tommy – Kendall Nicole Yakshe – Kendall is the only actor around Tommy's age in Starkid, so she could probably pull off the “childish but mature at the same time” look the best? Her acting for Hannah was brilliant during all the emotional scenes, so I'm sure she could handle it.

Tubbo – Lauren Lopez – I know someone replied to my Joey Richter post with this as a joke but like.... IT WORKS. Craphole and Tubbo have parallel energies. Let Lauren play a little boy again. That's where her true potential comes out. /j

Fundy – Angela Giarratana – Angela already has the experience of playing teenagers with issues with their parents by playing Lex, so she is perfect for Fundy. That is all. My entire logic. Don't @me, some of these were harder to pick out than others-

Wilbur Soot – Robert Manion – Robert + Insane characters brings out the best in him, let him go bat shit insane as the British JD kinnie.

Jschlatt – Joey Richter – Parallel vibes. That's it. Joey plays the best villains and we need a good actor for the best villain of the server (don't even @me about this I'm a schlannie)

Nihachu – Mariah Rose Faith – If Niki were in a musical she would 100% get a cool, low-key sad girl-power type solo. Mariah is your girl for that. My references? 1. mean girls and 2. “not your seed”. No further comments necessary.

Quackity – Denise Donovan – Need a dumb love interest that slowly develops as a character? Denise is your girl for that. I'm thinking a sort of character like Febuary from Starship, but a bit more serious as the plot progresses.

Technoblade – Joe Walker – It was either this of Jeff Blim. Just let me have this one-

Philza – Dylan Saunders – DAD VIBES DAD VIBES DAD VIBES. Dylan is like... The perfect Phil. Literally ideal. Give him a sad solo about having to kill his son because of the government and my man will SLAY that shit.

GeorgeNotFound – Jon Matteson - “ best at playing local confused man” award went to Jon after Paul in TGWDLM, now he's coming back as Gogy. He would be perfect for this role.

Sapnap – Corey Dorris – Y'all remember Me and My Dick? Yes, it wasn't a serious musical, but if you tell me Corey can't pull off a menacing low-key insane villain based on that and his thing in the very potter musicals, you are wrong. Corey needs to play villains more, that is that.

BadBoyHalo – Jaime Lyn Beatty – Just... Wholesome. Jaime can get across the “he a little confused but he got the spirit” energy of Bad perfectly.

Punz – Brian Holden – If there's one man who's a professional at playing side-kicks/secondary villains, Brian is your man. Think Junior from Starship but with a lot more obedience and a whole lot less daddy issues.

Skeppy – Meredith Stepien – If there's anyone who can match Jaime's energy as an equally chaotic, a bit more crazy and wholesome friend, that's Meredith. I'm not super sure why, I just get the feeling these two would pull of Skeppy's and Bad's friendship perfectly.

Eret – Brian Rosenthal – I'm not really sure about this one either, but if there was one person I'd have to nominate who could pull of the energy of the bicon that is Eret, it's this guy. Like... have you seen A Very Potter Musical.... Just... Quirrell. But a bit less timid and more low-key intimidating.

Everyone else not mentioned would be ensemble/back-up dancers played by anyone who isn't on stage, since we all know how much Starkids love having 10 roles at once for every musical they put on.

And trust me, I REALLY wanted to give Jeff Blim a role but even with how bat shit crazy this minecraft roleplay gets sometimes NO ONE can match that man's energy. He's just gonna have to stick to back up vocals I guess-

Aight the time has come

TMA / DIVINE COMEDY META POST

inspired by @soaringsearingphoenix

I loved their idea and really think they're onto something with that, there are quite a few parallels in the whole Two Men, One Of Which Non-Mortal and with Absolute, Supernatural Knowledge, Going Through an Hellscape.

Source for this is gonna be the three years I spent studying the Divine Comedy as part of my Classics high school degree, and also the hyperfixation I had on it when I was 12 - buckle up!

The thing I really love about the Divine Comedy and the way Dante describes the soul in Inferno (hell) specifically is the lack of judgement which seems so counterintuitive like

Medieval Europe was a time where mankind - and especially writers - abode rules very strictly, subjectivity and personal feelings weren't something important. Writing was symbolic. I think it's something people overlook a lot when they do those "Dante just wrote a self insert fic!" posts about the Divine Comedy and similar like yes yes absolutely he did and he got to hang out with his literary bud Virgil, but to him that was very different than what self insert fics are to us today. He's writing himself as a symbol for all humanity (he's well intentioned, but a cishet white man nonetheless), and then he needed someone to show him around. A dead person that to him represented Moral and Knowledge so naturally he goes "oh yeah Virgil is that. Obviously." - TO HIM that's simply the most obvious thing because Virgil is the author of the Epic Poem that founded Roman culture, the Aeneid, so if he's gonna write the next Epic Poem to found Florence/Italy's value (Italy wasn't a thing yet but he still uses the word) he HAS to be guided by who did it before him.

Jonny Sims does know his fair share of classical myth as proved by his work with the Mechs, Ulysses dies at Dawn has some slightly niche references that did impress me (I don’t know a lot of the mechs’ creative process tho so it might just not be him writing those bits in the album?)

I don't know if any of this is useful for metas but I definitely do think the fact that Virgil does not get to be in Heaven at all, no matter how good he is, is interesting if we compare it to Jon because he is doing his Best to not eat people, and not give in to his nature, but eventually we all know it is not gonna go well. In the Divine Comedy - Purgatory specifically - Dante has to leave Virgil behind before going to Heaven, and it's one of the most tear jerking bits of the whole work. We read it in class and there were literally 30 teens sobbing.

But this is a massive tangent on the issue of judgement which is where I think the juicy TMA parallel can also be bc as I was saying everything in medieval times follows very specific rules. The rules the Church has decided, and the Church is seen to be the absolute power of God.

So no matter how Dante feels about morality, that Truth is there. An excellent example of this is the circle of Sodomy - aka homosexuality: there Dante finds his teacher, a person he loved and admired. He feels immensely sorry for him and he shows him all the affection and respect he has for him. This most likely reflects Dante's real, personal opinion on homosexuality. however if the Church and therefore God says u go to hell for being gay, it's out of Dante's hands. U go to hell. So he cannot change that, even in a text that he himself is writing, cause it’s not about his own pov at all - he's writing a poem to reflect the word of God and he's showing how even "sinners" are just human and some sinners did literally NOTHING wrong on a human level but still end up there.

I think when it comes to TMA this is pretty similar to how Jon feels about the Avatars. Some of them are awful evil people eaters like Not!Sasha, and some sort of stumbled into it and while they might not be great people it's really not their fault either (the kid I can't remember the name of, or Oliver Banks, and so on)

And they all ARE monsters in the same way Jon also is a monster and doesn't really shy away from that anymore, but also there isn't that much judgement in that state of monstrousness. Sometimes no matter what you do you end up in Hell.

(Also the “punishments” work in a very Dantesque way where what you were most afraid of in your past life is coming back to torment you forever.)

So anyways this was my piece, thank you for coming to my ted talk, honestly can’t wait to have my ass handed over to me on a plate by some Jon kinnie who hyperfixates on medieval history and has to Wellacthsually me, this is not me mocking you or asking you not to do it I am a Martin Kinnie, if I’m wrong please break me with your FACTS I think that’s very HOT

mmm. maybe listening to tma at 2am isn’t always such a good idea (this is a Kin Vent Post hhhh)

i feel sick and i dont know why. i can’t tell if its from the fact i havent ate much or if talking to other gerry’s is actually getting to me now that im not in call. i havent had a reaction like that since my full-on tracer kinnie days but i felt weird when talking to starlight gerry and i felt weird talking about gerry things with my friend and normally im like “hey look someone who knows and understands” but i kinda just wish that i could have a kin from tma to myself for once. i always like to have kins to myself for once. surprisingly though im okay with other jons now that i joined that server a bit ago.  it could also be that im still weird from actually talking about rc things and that doesn’t go on this blog but its been a while since i told a ciel, in any sense of the matter, the stuff i know. its odd because i dont remember anything that really isn’t canon. regardless i understand what went on. maybe i just feel weird from that. or maybe i feel weird because i started s4 over again and listening to olivers statement got to me more this time than it did the last time around. who knows. i dont think i kin the guy, my pendulum said i didn’t but.... maybe i should ask again. who knows. i dont think i kin the guy i think i would have figured that out, got different feelings from it. i dont know.  or maybe, just maybe, i feel weird because im listening to 162 again. i completely forgot that gerry spoke in the episode and honestly its making me feel things again. gertrude was so harsh sometimes, you know that? better than my mother but definitely not the best. im lucky she actually called me gerard. wouldn’t be surprised if she only accepted me because of her weird knowing powers. she knew before i even told her. and i know that. i heard her tell my dad. i wish i could have told him myself.  but honest to god fuck gertrude robinson. yes she got rid of my mother and i thank her for that but she was not a good woman. the things that she did to her assistants, to people that didn’t have any ill will towards her... i was just glad to have someone to hunt down books with. 

i dont know what this post is about anymore. if i continue going on im gonna make myself cry and i dont want that. its so weird, though. i know this is something i have to get over and maybe im just a little bit upset that i didnt get to listen to the episode today even though ive heard it at least 4 or 5 times now. or maybe its that i hate when people i know kin characters that i know i dont like doubles for and i know i cant control who people kin but like... it always ends up in a situation where they seem to forget that i was them too. i can’t take that. like i was gerry once too. and it doesn’t help that it was my specific mem that got them to kinsider in the first place. like god. maybe its cause my irl kin friends never kinned the same characters, we just never did, but... i hate having to justify that “hey i did that too” and “hey i was them too” and all this other stuff, to feel like i need to point out constantly that i am also them especially when its such a strong kin like gerry is. i just.... i don’t know anymore. i really don’t.

if someone decides to read this.... god i’m sorry. honestly, i really am. i just have a lot of feelings and i needed to get them out somewhere. also the more i type the more im kinda sounding like tim of all  people thats not expected 

#gerry.txt #this is so fucking long i hope it shows up under a cut on dashboards #if not i am deeply sorry #i suppose i am less okay tonight than i thought i was.
