Why Did You Do It? Codot As Batman And Mad Hatter

Arkham Asylum and its medical practices p1

What practice:

Electrotherapy (ETC) is actually used to treat severe depression, sucidal thoughts/behaviors, bipolar (mania/depression), and schizophrenia (Catonia). This treatment is also sometimes used in Dementia and pregnancy. This is usually used when medication doesn't work, the patient has had ETC before, or the sufferer needs the effects immediately because they can pose a threat (to self or others) in the time it takes the medication to take effect. This is all done with consent of the patient and possibly family.

Usually the patient is given muscle relaxers and asleep (anesthetic) before hand. While they sleep the device is placed on their head and a controlled electric current is used producing a brief brain seizure. The patient usually doesn't remember the producer and is carefully monitored and is repeated three times a week.

Side effects: Temporary confusion, retrograde amnesia, temporary nausea, headache, muscle ache and medical complications.

How Arkham Asylum is shown using it:

If you've seen/read whatever anything with Arkham Asylum or the inmates chances are this treatment has been show or referenced. This makes sense as ETC is still used today and I'd be lying if I said that none of the inmates need it. However personally I don't think it's shown/done correctly.

The staff apparently missed the part about the patients being asleep during the procedure as patients laughing (Joker) seem to be a common occurrence. Also how Sparks seem to fly while it's happening when that would probably kill or at least fry the brain. Another thing is how the patients are strapped down, something I didn't mention was that the Patient is LAYING DOWN not sitting in a freaking chair!

Arguably Arkham may not even ask the patients for consent (which kinda makes sense it'd be weird to just have a page of a comic having an inmate sign paperwork). Another thing is which rogues get the treatment I'm no doctor/psychologist/ therapist whatever so I can't say if a certain rogue needs it or not.

If I'm seeing this correctly then it makes a lot of sense so many inmates are not getting better and are always eager to escape. Hell I bet Bruce Wayne and Batman have quite a few things to say to the staff at Arkham.

To add:

Sadly whenever it's shown in the Batman universe it looks like it simply feeds into the public opinion of ETC which is a shame because even though it was horrific in the past it's helped so many people today.

At the end all I wanna add is PLEASE do research into this stuff creators you don't need to know everything about but a quick Google search reveals it's not that horrific, at least today! If y'all would like me to discuss another treatment in Arkham please let me know!

Hares head shot up at the unfamiliar voice. Quickly she untied the apron from her waist and quickly scrubbed her hands. Tetch having guests over without notifying her was unheard of, he always wanted her to make some kind snack for his guests. Additionally she had never heard that voice before. Grabbing her Kama, she stepped into living room.

"Hello?"

“Jervis? Are you here?” Music Meister poked his head through the doorway, looking around before stepping into the Hatter’s latest hideout. Between composing and organising his next ‘performance’, the maestro had grown bored and decided to visit his acquaintance. However he didn’t seem to be around at present.

• Tetch is that friend that tries to help you, but clearly doesn’t understand what you actually need.

• Tetch had a really good English teacher in middle school who helped him find other interesting books (at the time he mostly read Alice in wonderland over and over again and school assigned books)

1.This teacher also taught him how to come up with rhymes on the fly

•Tetch was bullied as a child for both looking a tad bit odd (buck teeth, shorter than some girls and large head) and for his natural shy and bookish nature

• He gained an interest in mind control when a saw a sideshow of a man getting both rats and audance volunteers to do odd and amazing tricks

• Schizophrenia will only worsen with age and every defeat at the hands of Batman

•Not exactly the most popular of rogues (Ivy, Scareface, Hush, Man-bat/Doctor langstrum, Two- face, Great white shark - it’s mutual) probably more don’t like him or some find it more fun to mess with him (Joker, Clayface)

• Has Maladaptive daydreaming, which has Sometimes put him in bad situations.

•Minor PTSD (triggered by losing his hat, being put in a corner, lots of people standing around him, being beat up)

• has Monophobia, Enochlophobia ( Has a lot of trouble in the Arkham cafeteria), and Autophobia.

Boom just some random headcanons I have, if you have any questions about them please send an ask

Can you reblog this if the mun is 18+

🌧- For a heavy, emotional secret

[Mun speaks] Madeline knows her father remarried and had other kids. When she was finishing her degree in college one of them reached out to her, however Madeline chose not to keep in contact or tell Marcus.

Madeline worries that if her brother found out he would be less than thrilled. She knows her father's happy restarting life in another City, while the one in Gotham disintegrated. She respects his decision, but does desperately want to reconnect with her half-siblings. The only reason she doesn't is because she knows her father wants to live a completely separate life. Perhaps when he dies she'll visit his grave or perhaps she'll let have his wish and pretend she never knew him.

"...I- I don't want to burden him. I know Dad just wants to forget and pretend that we never existed... I can give him that. I understand why, why wouldn't someone want to start over? It was not the choice I made, but it's the one he wanted. If - if he wants to comeback then I won't stop him. I love him. "

❝ you know better than that. ❞

"Do you truly believe I do?"

Madeline was well aware that Shaw, while finding her amusing, also found her ignorant to the world at large. She wouldn't call it unwarranted, Shaw certainly had more experience in other areas, where she (gladly) had none.

" I'm not exactly well aware of the in and outs of orgy cuisine. Personally I thought cupcakes were perfect."

A personal wonderland {Jervis Tetch}

Ungloved fingers twitched as they held a warm tea cup.  The skin on the small hands smooth and uncalloused, almost like a child’s. Though to presume such innocence would be a deadly mistake. The hands shaking from the opium in the owner’s system flushing out. Mindlessly bringing the cup to soft pink lips.  Drinking more out of a repeated habit than a actual need or want. Soft but sharp blue eyes wide and pin pricked.  Drugged and tiny pupils staring in a hazed madness. A soft catchy toon slipping from his throat…

The smell of tea filled the air, warmth thick like syrup.  Lace frills covered the table in a out of date elegance.  Decorative tea cups set ever so perfectly out along the table. Foot tapping music and hues of blue seemed to be a theme in this personal wonderland.  Tears stained the nicely folded napkins on the table below the man…

Ungloved fingers twitched as they held a cold tea cup.  The skin on  the small hands stained in blood, both his and others. Though to presume such morbid thoughts would be a ignorant mistake. The hands shaking from blood flushing out of the owners viens. Mindlessly smiling as he brought the tea to his painful grin, tea dribbling down his mouth.  Drinking it like a nervous tick of a cuckoo clock. Bloodshot blue eyes held in so much pain as tears poured out of the. The tiny pupils hiding the schizophrenics symptoms with the drug that laid inside him…

The smell of blood and desperation filled the air like deaths cloud.  Lace frills soaked in blood and tears. The table more of a scene of sadness then elegance. Smashed tea cups laid in every breath of the room.  The record skipped and was not fixed, being drowned out by this man’s personal wonderland…
