So sad that they got rid of Jervis's pet monkey who only appeared in a comic once back in like the 60s or smth :(

will you ever write the second chapter to The Obsession Scheme? just curious

I am so sorry it took me like two months to answer I had no clue there was anything in my inbox so I'm really sorry!!!!

But probably not. However I would like to write less serious fanfictions in the future! Im happy for you guys send requests for future fanfics if you guys would like that (no nsfw). But at the moment Im not updating The Obsession scheme thx for asking :)

Please let me have this. The concept of Jervis is so good even though his comics aren’t…great…..and writing a Wonderland-loving weirdo as a Wonderland-loving weirdo just sounds fun. So, I guess you’d call this my…

• JERVIS TETCH Headcannons / Interpretation •

• ——— •

Jervis Tetch- or, the Mad Hatter- was a once respected neurologist turned criminal. Unassuming at face value, he creates chaos through his backwards intelligence and hypnotism, molding Gotham to fit his vision of ‘home’.

• ——— •

Jervis was a neurologist, studying the subconscious. He was lonely, with few friends as a result of his social anxiety and awkwardness, but otherwise lived an average life.

This loneliness would bubble up into desperation, driving him to begin his criminal career before he would dawn his alter ego- the result of an unreciprocated crush on his coworker. He’d inconspicuously use hypnotism to make strangers steal gifts to impress her with, the small scale and lack of traceability leaving Jervis guiltless. But eventually his crush would catch on, refusing his gifts and eventually demanding he never talk to her again. In a panic, he would hypnotize a group of bystanders into stealing a large sum of money, which accidentally lead Batman straight to him. Batman would find Tetch begging for the woman to willingly leave Gotham with him, promising anything she wants with the stolen money.

His intelligence and fondness for mind control would land Tetch in Arkham Asylum, which was more than a shock to him. Of course he knew he was risking jail time, but Arkham?? He didn’t think anything he was doing was THAT bad! But now, he was sitting next door to some of the Gotham’s worst villains, amongst their ranks! He could never live a normal life again…. He didn’t want linger on those thoughts, escaping through one of the few distractions he had at his disposal- a copy of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. He reread and escaped from the reality of the Asylum so often that it soon became his most important influence and, in addition to acclimating to his criminal status, resulted in the creation of his alter ego- the Mad Hatter.

• ——— •

Jervis is deceptively non-villainous- pleasant, soft-spoken, and chipper. He enjoys “helping” others, and has moments of ditziness and anxiousness. If you had met him on the street unknowingly, you’d likely think he was just a well meaning eccentric with his head a little too far in the clouds. He does, however, have an awful temper, and is also quick to shift blame away from himself.

Many say he isn’t ignorant to this perception, with debates whether or not he knowingly plays up his personality to manipulate others. Generally, the people who know his history don’t typically respect him, but also don’t put down their guard around him. After all, there is no arguing his use of hypnotism and mind control, and the wacky schemes that are difficult to crack because of the nonsense logic that only he finds sense in.

The Mad Hatter has two main goals:

Make Gotham into a Wonderland. Causing general chaos, really. What he means by this isn’t clear (perhaps intentionally) as his schemes can be inconsistent. However, it’s usually with two underlying themes- regaining control, and not being alone.

To kill Batman. Ooooh he wants him dead. Jervis blames Batman for the loss of his old life, and sees this more that anything as a service to the people of Gotham, protecting the “innocent” from having their lives ruined as well.

(Character Concepts / Sketches)

Wizard of Oz art for the day (mostly John R Niels illustration ver) (click for better quality)

A detail I like about Jervis in BTaS is how his demeanor and motives change drastically between only a couple of episodes.

It was probably not even noticed and the writers just wanted to make him less sympathetic, but I like how more aggressive and hateful he is when he's fitting into his hatter role whilst he's surrounded by criminals. Take how he goes from, 'ill protect Alice at all costs' in his first ep to the trial episode where he bursts out, 'id have killed her first!' when asked how he could've just respected her.

I don't think it was on purpose, but its an interesting detail that (to me) seems like he's losing his old polite shy self to become the hatter, and I feel like it's done really well with those few episodes that he's in

First few digital sketches of the Oz guys : D + return to Oz sketch

Saw ur artblock post

You should draw the jervis with this face while making tea I think it would be very silly and funny

I am so sorry for taking so long to answer I didn't see this ask!!!!

But I hope you'll take this as an apology 😁

Also a part in perchance to dream where he pulls this face anyways whilst Bruce looks on in disgust

If your taking requests: can you draw jervis getting revenge/fighting the joker? I really think Jervis “i wouldve killed her first!” Tetch would want to get back at the joker for what he did to him in Make Em Laugh. Bc idk abt you, but that image of his soulless, smiling face just radiates pure malice to me. So id really like to see this come to fruition!

TW IMPLIED VIOLENCE (no gore)

Whoops! The tea spilled!

Also Jervis rap battling against Joker

Eh romance or whatever I'm Aro idk how this stuff works #fuckromance 🖕🔥😎

I finished the promised hattercrow comic! Took surprisingly quick and I'm proud I actually finished it up, I usually give up halfway through. Plus I really like how it turned out!
