Fun fact!:
The hookah was actually used to smoke tobacco at the time not cannibas or other drugs! (Though I'm sure some people did) It also originated in India and was a symbol of wealth and prestige.
If anything the hookah smoking caterpillar is a symbol of change, adulthood, and a few other things (smoking being seen as an adult habit, while being a caterpillar is considered being "childlike" but him smoking could show how he's become adult like)
I could go on, on what the Caterpillar might represent but I'm feeling lazy. It's true though, don't assume the worst or immediately make Alice in wonderland an adult book about Insanity, drugs, and sex.

Unpopular opinion: yes there is a hookah in the wonderland story but that wasn’t a big deal in the era and the book itself isn’t about drug use and Lewis Carroll was not on anything at the time of writing it
Please stop directly associating it with weed, lsd, speed, etc. and thinking it makes u edgy/cool (I’m gonna get people angry about this but really it’s kids book)
I absolutely enjoyed this little writing with Madeline and Shaw!
Ethereal: (adj.) extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world I'm curious to see what you'd do with Madeline and Shaw for this, thank you!
(Note to readers: The Madeline here isn’t Madelyne Pryor, it’s @themarchinghare‘s OC Madeline Daresbury akak The March Hare, who is also a baker!) “I’ve read that adults begin loosing their sense of taste between forty and fifty,” said Shaw, “It starts with the nuances, the subtleties, the underlying flavors dominated by the rest of the dish ...and by one’s sixties, one may begin to be unable to distinguish between the basic groups of sour, bitter, and sweet.” He ran one broad fingertip---even this smallest part of him was broad---over the crystalline structure that Madeline had concocted. “I stopped liking sweets before I started being able to afford them. Perhaps that’s why. I would have longed for this as a boy. Now, though?” He withdrew his hand from the ethereal creation of spun sugar that the baker had delivered on his order for tonight, “Now it’s just about how it looks. Which is spectacular. You’ll have your payment wired momentarily.”
Can't go wrong with Meisters classic outfit can we? Though personally I think he wears tap shoes.
“Have Igone mad? I’m afraid so, but let me tell you something, the best people usually are.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
If I’m not careful this could be controversial (jk) I’m just going to pick people Tetch is normally associated with and give a brief description of how I see them
1: Jonathan Crane - Friend
Jonathan and Jervis (once called the J.js’- bad move Joker) they’ve had a rather close relationship grow originally Jonathan was one of Tetches tormentors in Arkham, but that eventually changed when the two worked together. Know you’ll find them sitting across from each other in the corner of a room chitchating. I have no problem with the ship and it’s nice as a scroll through Tumblr.
2: Edward Ngyma - Mutual/kinda friend
Mutual, they’re not the closet to be called friends (as differing interests stop them) but they’re not enemies either (similar feelings about school) and can be seen sitting together or standing near each other from time to time. If Tetch needs information/ or just feels like listening to someone talk Edwards usually his person. I’ve seen them as friends, couple, and enemies so I’m kinda just nuetral to it all. (Gotta say I feel almost guilty for putting the dorksquad way less close than before)
3: Pamala Isley - Stay away
Ivy and Tetch got of to a REALLY bad start. Tetches kidnapping of females really pissed Ivy of at the start, so much they normally didn’t stay in the same room. However over time Ivy has definitely reconsidered her stance considering all of the other rogues and DOES want to try and talk to him again. Sadly at this point Jervis would rather avoid her. (I REALLY like the SpringMadness ship, but I feel like it’ll take a long time to happen, just like a tree)
4: Mary dale - “Hey Jerv” “Hey Mary”
They have tea parties together, talk together and help each other with there Maladaptive daydreaming. All in all they have a positive relationship, the doctors normally don’t mind but they do worry about each other encouraging the others delusions. They were close only after a week of knowing each other.
5: Lyle Bolton - eeeeeh welllllll no
It’s hard to say anyones close to Bolton especially after the “Lock up” incident. Tetch is completely terrified of Bolton, while Bolton just finds Tetch exhausting. In a Bolton reformed au I see them tolerating each other if not avoiding each other. (On occasion Bolton has helped Tetch out of trouble.)
6: Alice Pleasance - No
Alice at first say Tetch as a friend later fear, then completely loath and finally someone to no longer care or think about, she’s either happily married or single. Tetch is sad at the least about all this.
7: Madeline Daresbury - OC
Yes, I’m putting my own OC on here! Madeline and Tetch are two peas in a pod if not, a dependant on the other. Madeline happily goes along with all of Tetches delusions and Tetch enjoys her company (he doesn’t know that Madeline is also using him as a surrogate for her little brother). The two are normally not in Arkham together (Madeline goes to Black gate) but can be usually be spotted together outside of Arkham.Whered The Mad Hatter be without his March Hare?
If you have any questions or other stuff about my character relationships please let me know!
👻- For something that scares or disturbs them, but they refuse to tell anyone
[nomoreears] Thank you friend for asking so many questions!
Madeline has a slight fear of dogs, including puppies. She knows it's ridiculous and most people would laugh it off, but to her dogs are vicious.
Something that disturbs her is messiness. While she doesn't have OCD seeing trash and dust lying around bothers her immensely. She was always raised in a clean environment, if the kitchen is messy then the food is contaminated.
I’m not a psychologist so this is all just a guess. If you’d like me to elaborate why I headcanon these characters as having these disorders or want me to add more, please let me know!
Two-face: Aboulomanie, multiple personality disorder
Scarecrow: Slight diogenes syndrome, philophobia (non-sexual)
The Mad Hatter: Maladaptive daydreaming, borderline personality disorder
The Joker: Witzelsucht, psychopathy, (possible PTSD)
Maxie Zeus: Grandiose disorder, schizophrenia
The Riddler: Narcissistic Personality disorder
The Penguin: histrionic personality disorder
Victor Zsasz: obsessive compulsive disorder, depressive disorder
Firefly:Pyromanie
Didn’t have the energy to come up with designs, so I just sketched these two. Jerv for some reason gives me dumbo octopus vibes and Ivy reminds me of a leafy sea dragon
