Description

" Hey Tanya, I need to bring my book back, did you enjoy it ?"
*looks a bit lost*
"Ulysses, the book I lent you last week. Can I have it back ?"
*still looks lost, shakes her head no*
"Yes, you do, we talked about twice, and you said you thought it was a bit too dirty for your tastes."
*Taken aback, raises an eyebrow and sends him a questioning glance*
"Of course I'm sure, please Tanya I need to give it back, you told me you would be finished today."
*shakes her head no vehemently*
" *chuckles* Stop denying, that's ridiculous now, you read it in maths and the teacher gave you a note." 
*starts panicking, put her hands on her chest and mouths "believe me" *
" Well, that's a bit difficult to believe you right now. Honestly do you really want to get me into troubles ?"
* Rolls her eyes. Takes her bag and starts rummaging through it. Suddenly stops*
" So ?"
*Takes the book out of her bag slowly*
" I won't say I told you so but..."
*Stares at the book, shaking.*
"I told you so."

This is gaslight. But what is gaslight you ask ? A typical sociopath's  tactic.

"Gaslight : Gaslighting or gas-lighting[1] is a form of mental abuse in which false information is presented with the intent of making victims doubt their own memory, perception, and sanity.[2]Instances may range simply from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred, up to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention ofdisorienting the victim."

Thank you wikipedia.

Soooo Brain Teaser and me talked a lot about a possible appearance of her OC Tanya Lovett (she's mute by the way) in this Gotham High AU, and this is the result. Why is he doing that ? Because in my previous Gotham High picture I said that he harassed the cheerleaders. Tanya, a christian cheerleader and thus the embodiment of everything he hates, put the photos back in his locker with a note that said that he "should do that professionally", implying that she didn't mind.

I think that would make him out of his mind with fury. Why ? Because he enjoys the power he now have over the cheerleaders, and over the whole school because everyone is afraid of him now. Someone who isn't scared of him is considered not only a threat, but an enemy. Because what is he if nobody's afraid of him ? Just a gangly, creepy teenager with stalker tendencies. So he'll do his very best to utterly destroy her to the point where she's not even able to go to school. Oh, and he totally put a fake teacher note into her things too.

See guys ? This is why I can't have nice thing oo.

About the references : Selina stealing Tanya's necklace/earrings (I swear she invited herself ! I didn't plan on drawing her !), and our lovely catwoman's stash up there. You know how cats keep all the stuff they stole n one place ? That's it. There's Oswald's money from an earlier drawing, Nygma's phone, Jervis's book and Daphnée's necklace (or more accurately, her father's).

"The man who laughs" is the play that inspired the Joker, thus the "Jay" and the arrow. Of course there are STILL sticker notes ^^, "Ulysse" is a book he read in Year One: Scarecrow, "Gigi d'agostino" made "the riddle" a very cool song and in the clip you can see the riddler, because the song is a friggin' FANART, the crow is owned by one of Bane's lackeys (you can see crows like that in arkham origins), as for the title of the books, well that's pretty self explanatory.
