"Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, 'Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.' Man bursts into tears. Says, 'But, Doctor... I am Pagliacci.' Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains."

— Rorschach, Watchmen

Often found among troops and superhero teams, the Sad Clown is the wisecracking funnyman who copes with his hopeless position with humor — usually of the groan-inducing kind. He is totally insecure at heart and keeps on running his mouth to fool himself into thinking he's confident or to get people to like him.

In the most tragic cases though, people do actually find them genuinely charming and likeable because of their humor and like being around them. This is usually of little comfort to the Sad Clowns, whose insecurities cause them to fear that people only really like the "Clown" part of them, and so they do their damnedest to always be the "Clown" in public, but bury and suppress the "Sad" side of them as deeply as possible, because they are afraid that people would like them less if they were to find out about it.

This character tends to make Dude, Not Funny! jokes at inappropriate times to cope. But he is never deliberately a Monster Clown.

Often put in more serious series to add some comic relief, while at the same time secretly revealing to the audience that the character is a simmering pot of hidden insecurities and angst, just like everyone else in the cast.

Contrast Non-Ironic Clown. See also Gallows Humor which is often used about a grim subject whenever someone wants to lighten up the mood, Broken Hero, Inferiority Superiority Complex about people who mask their insecurities by acting self-assured in order to gain confidence, Stepford Smiler who pretend that they are happy with their lives often to themselves first and foremost and don't necessarily use humour, Stepford Snarker who has a lot of similarities but is more usually bitter at others and his remarks are generally more cutting, Sour Outside, Sad Inside when the character masks their inner trauma with cynicism and snark rather than humor, The Unwitting Comedian, who doesn't even bother hiding their sadness but is seen as a straightforward jokester anyway, The Comically Serious, where a character gets put in comedic situations but forces themselves to be serious, and Dreaded Kids' Party Entertainer Job, when someone who performs for kids' parties is abused, which may make them depressed or anxious.

A thing I've really grown to appreciate when writing Discworld stuff, is how the style's designed for you to mash together a random shower thought, a cool fact you know and the most obnoxious pun you could think of, and then just plop it straight into the middle of whatever actual plot you're going thru AND you also get to call it worldbuilding.

#discworld #my fic #ngl I took a little victory lap around the house fuelled by just how awful carpe diem or die by carp is #that's a fine groaner right there several friends would stop talking to me if I said it in a discord call

ignoring the fact that i love and/or hate every supermansion character equally (except maybe bugula because he beat my absolute fav's ass), this is my all-star team. may they fly high in "cancelled show heaven" 😔😔😔

[roleplayallday]

I haven’t heard much from the supermansion fandom in years however I really want to roleplay some Debbie/Devizo, Blackgroans, and Lex/Courtney.

I read a lex/courtney fic last night and it was suxh a good rarepair that i’d love to write something between these two!

Not to mention, I’ve been itching to do a debbie redemption story and i’d love to write that with someone as well! Where she redeems herself by saving Devizo from a big villain and destroying the heart of amore, which returns all the love to his heart.

If any of this sounds interesting please dm me here or on discord! My discord is Kazikuns

Haven’t roleplayed supermansion in such a long time. If anyone’s still apart of this fandom and is down to do debbie/devizo or blackgroans, please dm me here or on discord.

My discord is Kazikuns

I’ve got plots that i’m dying to do but this fandom has been dead for ages.
