So here's the stuff.
Only quite recently I've become a big fan of American Mcgee's Alice games. And I feel like its because I liked Jervis, I think its pretty obvious why he's so associated with the game by proxy, there's a lot to dive into about a Wonderland from... who is basically a puppetmaster's perspective. I used to be really scared of that game whenever I saw ads for it as a kid btw, but now I am so extremely fascinated by it. Even despite my fear of porcelain dolls lmao-
I tried to even change the way I draw his face to match the game's art style, I tried my best lol-- but basically it was fun using Tetch to obsess about how much I love this game's style. More games need purely aesthetic magical girl style clothing changes for every world theme.
This was supposed to be a Christmas Eve post, but here we are.....!
In my mind, Gotham has a bustling Christmas market set up in that huge town square area in "Batman Returns" (it's where Shrek gives his speech that Penguin crashes, if you want to know what scene I'm referring to). Similar to the market set ups that New York has, but also German Christmas markets because I absolutely adore them.
That said, the dorks go together, and Jo does his best to keep track of both Jervis and Ed, but given Ed would be constantly investigating every stall and Jervis would be so enveloped in the atmosphere....Jo has his work cut out for him.
And without realizing, Jervis is suddenly gone, having let go of Jo's hand at some point. To be fair, Jo would have noticed if Ed weren't so distracting. They have a plan in case this kind of thing ever happens though, so their meeting spot is at a Christian nativity scene at the base of the massive Christmas tree.
