When You're Feeling Anxious: Mammon
I've personally struggled with anxiety for a long time now, and I headcanon that Mammon would be an incredible partner to an MC whose mind gets plagued by worry and self-doubt. You got this, MC. You're the greatest treasure of 'em all!
Contains: anxiety, comfort, fluff
Your first man is the first to notice - partly because he's so incredibly in tune with your emotions and general well-being, and partly because he spends so much time with you that the probability of him witnessing things first is generally high.
Yandere mode is off. When his family needs him, Mammon's control and composure rivals that of the first-born. My man will always step up to the plate to carry his team.
He isn't awkward when he comforts you. He's confident. He's taking charge. He's reading your every signal and reaction, and instantaneously computing the next step to bring you closer to healing.
Despite his sin, a shopping spree isn't his go-to method of comforting you, and he'll only be funny if that's what he knows you need.
Speaking of needs - if it's silence and physical comfort you desire, you're on your bed wrapped in his arms in a flash. Doesn't matter if you were in the kitchen, on the town, or at RAD before - you can't quite register how quickly it happened, but suddenly you're in your safe place, far away from any potential stressors or triggers that could anguish you further.
Need a cry? He's pulling you into him, jacket be damned. Who cares if it gets dirty? His greatest treasure needs him. He'll buy another one later... but he'll still keep this one too.
If you want to talk, or scream, or both, he's here to listen. If you need to just vent, he'll stand quietly as you let it out. If you need verbal reassurance, he's completely engaged with questions, confirmations, and exclamations that make you feel like your emotions and thoughts are reasonable, understandable, and supported.
This man is just so, so good at comforting you. I think it's because he genuinely believes you're the most beautiful, wonderful, adorable, amazing person in all three realms. His confidence in you is strangely (and wonderfully) infectious; remember, yandere mode is out the door, so you get to hear Mam's million-and-one reasons why you're incredible enough to overcome whatever worries your mind is assaulted by.
Mammon will do whatever, and I truly mean what in the Devildom ever, it takes to bring back your smile.
Every anxious MC deserves a Mammon to hold them close and assuage their fears.
#Mammon comfort is the bestest comfort#obey me#obey me shall we date#obey me mammon#obey me nightbringer#obey me mammon x mc

about someone, that isn't you - @mvtthewmurdvck
✧ this fic killed me. absolutely wrecked me. completely destroyed me. jo is too good at the angst and making me feel and getting me all caught up in my emotions. i don't know how she manages to create such stunningly painful fics, but it's a skill to be admired. i don't think I'll ever get tired of how good her fics hurt.

cuddlebug - @saltycurry
✧ self-indulgent tooth-rotting fluff? sign me tf up. i am absolutely here for it and i loved every word of this fic. i know there's a theme of super fluff in these recs, but i won't apologize for it when i get cute fics like this to read all day.
a good man - @halcyone-of-the-sea
✧ this is gonna be another picture because i can't find the words to explain how much i adore this fic and i feel like my emotions are best described like this:

2- Stars
Technically this one was gonna be for a different fandom, but 80% of the way through I thought it didn't fit the theme well enough and relocated it. Despite it being a little more spur-of-the-moment, I'm still happy with how this one turned out!
Today's is a little fluffy date piece with Giovanna and Ramlethal. Please note that while I intend to make the usage of constellations as realistic as possible, with how hemispheres work and where different easy-to-see nebulae are located I ended up taking a bit of artistic liberties. A little ironic, since I've got a whole headcanon about Giovanna being autistic about space. Oh well...
-
“There. It’s riiiight…”
Ramlethal felt the hand around her wrist direct her finger westward until it was pointed at a cluster of spots.
“There. That’s the Carina Nebula. It’s one of the easier ones to see, so it’s a good spot to start with.”
If she squinted into the night sky, she could swear there was a tiny hint of red between the whitish dots. “That’s it up there? Wow…”
“Pretty view, huh? Told ya that Illyria’s got too many lights to see the really good stuff.”
Of course, Ram was half-sure that part of the reason she’d been invited to a scenic hilltop at night was as a dramatic romantic gesture, but Giovanna wasn’t wrong in that regard, either. She hadn’t been aware of the sheer amount of color that was visible in the night sky.
“So what’s in it?”
“‘What’s in it?’ Geez, Ram, what isn’t in it?” An elbow playfully nudged her in the side. “It’s got a whole bunch of open clusters, it’s got the most luminous star in the Milky Way, and it’s got these things called Wolf-Rayet stars in ‘em, so that probably speaks for itself why I like looking at it.”
Ram laughed, and Rei perked up, unsure if the mention of wolves involved her or not. She lowered her head again with a huff, and Giovanna scratched her between the ears. She ducked back under the legs of her telescope, delicately twisting the knobs and slightly moving the position. “I’m gonna scoot over a little, there’s another one that looks really good through the scope.”
While her girlfriend worked, Ram looked back up at the sky. She had already lost track of where she’d been directed to before, but any part of the sky was nice. After a few casual outings, she knew enough to spot a few patterns. The summer triangle, Aquila and Cygnus branched off from it, Sagittarius. She still wasn’t quite sure that they looked like swans and people and snakes and horse-men, but it was easy to get swept up in Giovanna’s excitement when she showed them all off.
“I know they’re big,” Ram said. “I know they only look so small because they’re so far away. But it still feels like I could pluck a few out with my fingers and hand them to you.”
“Heh! Well, then we’d have a biiiig problem, because now there’s a giant ball of plasma burning everything.”
“I’d do it anyway. If you asked me to.” She replied, only for her face to scrunch as she broke out into more laughter. “I’m sorry, that was very corny.”
“Very. But I like corny. Speaking of…”
Giovanna gestured for her to approach, still staring into the scope. The Valentine squeezed in close. “What are we looking at?”
“Here, put your eye up to the lens.” Gio took a step back, allowing the other to take her place. “Don’t jostle it too much. You see that big glowing spot? That’s the ring nebula.”
There was something round and bluish right off-center in the telescope’s view. “It’s shaped differently from the other one.”
“Yep! That one’s made of an old star that’s breaking down. It’s changing into a white dwarf and dumping old parts of itself all over while it does.”
“So…that one’s dying?”
“All of ‘em do, after enough millions of years,” she nodded. “But all the stuff they shed flies around space and ends up making new ones.”
Ram went quiet for a moment, thinking to herself. “You don’t think that’s sad?”
“Sad? Maybe a little.” Giovanna sat back on the hillside. “I think it’s cool. Every star’s made of pieces of old ones. Sometimes they make other stuff. Y’know, all the stuff on earth originally came from space. Plants and rocks and water ‘n all that. People too. We’ve all got little pieces of space in us.”
Ramlethal continued staring through the telescope. She wondered how far away the stars had to be. She wondered how bright it had to be in order to be seen from so far away.
“I wasn’t made the way humans were. Are there still pieces of space in me, too?”
“Probably.”
It wasn't a very convincing answer. She continued to look. Behind her, she could hear both Giovanna and Rei moving around.
“Hey. Ram. Look at me real quick.”
Reluctantly, she did, and as soon as she turned, there was something warm against her face. The suddenness made it difficult to process, and as soon as she tried, something else wet slobbered along her arm.
“Rei, down!” Giovanna stepped back from the kiss to lecture the dog. “I had a moment going! I was gonna- augh…” She put a hand over her face. I was gonna do a thing where I went ‘well here, you can have a little of mine,’ but now the whole thing just feels weird.”
It was a little weird, but Ram thought it was weird in a good way. “I like that you tried.”
“I just didn’t want this whole thing to end up bumming you out.”
She nodded. “I get it. But I’m having fun. I like spending time with you.”
The two of them sat down together, using Rei as a pillow and watching the stars as they continued to twinkle.
“Can I ask you a question, Giovanna?”
“Eh? Yeah, always. What’s up?”
“Why was the ring nebula corny? I’m still confused.”
The woman was silent for a moment, then snickered to herself. “It’s- y’know what? Let’s wait a couple years ‘n come back to it.”
“It’s going to take me that long to figure it out?”
“Nah, it’s just that with how much I paid, it’s gonna take me a while to save up.”
“...I still don’t get it…”
“Heh. Ask your sister.”

some qs, pls donut be offended if i ask things that might be obvious. but. are there any lines your joker will not cross? does he have a specific m.o. to his crimes? what's the farthest he's gone? personally i LOVE the l/go batman version of joker AND the telltale version of him & think that a lot of the canon that portrays joker is both completely ableist and completely homophobic so i was SUPER excited to see ur blog, i just want to make sure i got this all right in my head B )
no worries, and I’ll answer this publicly since it’s prob a good idea to do so anyways :y since there’s things I won’t write, I would generally say that anything including r*pe (of anyone, honestly), abuse of children (though in a practical sense he isn’t above killing a child that’s not his m.o., nor would he be interested in torturing or abusing a kid — more like if there’s collateral damage in the pursuit of some larger target), domestic abuse (ie why I don’t write or ship canon versions of joker and Harley), or like animal abuse but beyond that it’s pretty situational. he’s not above or against killing, maiming or torturing but that’s also at the darker end of things in terms of my writing spectrum
but i would say he’s more controlled and careful than a lot of people would assume? i personally prefer most of his crimes to be the kind that are meant to disrupt hierarchy and the dominant classes/castes of society, so things that would generally be anti establishment like bank robberies, disrupting government activities/destroying property, impeding or killing police, but these are yet again on the more intense end of the spectrum. and although I’d say his violence is politically informed just bc his entire existence is; it’s not necessarily done in the name of any beliefs, but it wouldn’t take long to figure out his general ideas about things like class and authority to see why he tends to target government institutions, officials, and corporate entities. a good way to explain this imo would be that he’s the type to release all the people in Arkham bc he thinks that pathologizing people and labelling them, incarcerating them against their will, is fucked but he would have no plan or regard for what happens afterwards — shaped by his experiences, beliefs, and politics but not a well thought out revolution by any means. I also don’t pretend when he does violent things they’re righteous, just that it isn’t as indiscriminate and ~edgy~ as some sources portray. but since I also love the campy and more goofy portrayals we get of joker in things like lego batman there’s some range for sure in things I’d write or see him doing that go as soft as cartoon villainy and about as far as I’ve outlined above.
for an m.o. id say he sort of reflects the historical role of a jester, the imagery of the joker playing card and the origin of modern clowns. the court jester could speak truth to power and mock the king bc of his position as a jester. the role, the position, allowed the court jester to reflect ~society~ back to the ruling class. I think he sees himself as a thorn in the side of Gotham’s elite. that’s why his crimes are things like bank robberies, attacks on law enforcement, and fighting batman, a symbol of the elite (he works w the police to beat up poor people and Arkham patients, and he’s a literal billionaire????). whether it’s something the characters themselves acknowledge or not, in terms of the actual symbolism the joker works best imo as a foil to Batman when he’s emphasized as his opposite. Batman is dark (the suit, the gear, the brooding), joker is colourful, Batman is wealthy and uses his resources, joker is slapdash and resourceful rather than full of cash/resources, Batman is tacitly if not explicitly endorsed by Gordon (and as commissioner, by the police), the joker is 100% an outlaw, and as far as my portrayal goes, Batman is a hyper masculine cishet dudes power fantasy (billionaire playboy by day and badass crime fighter by night? yeah that’s what it is) and joker is a queer rage fever dream of face paint and pure anarachy (rejection of hierarchy and authority, aside from the more nuanced descriptions on actual anarchist political theory).
as for canon, I agree that a lot of canon is really ableist and homophobic/queerphobic so I don’t rely on those aspects. he is most likely mentally ill but I think the source material often confuses correlation with causation. he isn’t violent because he’s mentally ill, but the two co exist. he’s violent because he’s been the victim of violent crime (as most people w mental illnesses are more likely to be), and bc of social factors from his upbringing living in Gotham city. in my own knowledge, crime is usually the result of social and economic conditions (poverty, exploitation, learning violence from others, etc) which I think has more to do with why he’s a criminal than any mental illness he may have. Gotham city is clearly a pretty bad place to live with its massive amounts of corruption, inequality and crime, so I’m not really surprised it produces people like joker. i try to balance “sympathetic” with understandable and it’s a fine line between making sense of a character like this and “woobifying” as some might say. its difficult bc RP is also more personal than just reading a fic or a comic so boundaries tend to be tighter and what’s acceptable tends to also be a bit more restrictive for good reason. but i think the concept of the joker, the idea of the joker and the archetype he fulfills has a lot of potential for variation and interpretation
this is v long and rambly but tldr he does have some hard limits in part bc i as a writer don’t wanna do certain things. my portrayal is a mishmash of headcanon, some canon interpretations like telltale, ~sociology and criminology~, and my own Vibes as a genderweird not straight person

Jasper is more professional with his outfits. He loves his sweater vests--even if most people find them ugly. He always wears a tie because he learned how to tie it so he could get the job, and he’s proud of both those accomplishments. You’ll never catch him looking anything less than dapper because, though he may be a hot mess on the inside, he never reflects that on the outside. He says “sir” too many times and is a little overexcited for everyone else in his workplace, but he’s eager to do whatever is asked of him and he’s a diligent worker.

I'm glad you liked my song rec, Robot)
And since you did, here, have another one:
Basically, the song I used for this gifset (and plan to use for at least one more and, maybe, an edit once I'll get my hands on the 3A footage), Bonnie & Clyde by YUQI?
It's 100% our favorite partners in crime (and life), to the very last T.
I mean... 3A Lizzy and Red are kinda modern versions of Bonnie and Clyde, only happier ones because their lives and love don't end in death and tragedy (no, I'm not crying... because we're talking about 3A here, which is followed by a 3B AU where Liz didn't go all bitchy on Red but remained his trusting and trustworthy, loving and beloved, honest and loyal partner, in every sense of that word... so all the events of the finale and most of the events of the last 5 seasons are irrelevant, didn't happen).
Then, let's take a look at the lyrics:
You pick me up when I feel down
No matter how deep in the night
I got your back when we go out
You know I'm always on your side
Isn't that exactly what they do for each other and one of the many many reasons they're so in love with each other – because they know that they've found someone they can rely on no matter what, someone who will always be there for them in each other.
We love it on the other side
Where the dreams are real, do what we like
Let them point and laugh at who we are
It was you and me here dancing from the start
I don't even know where to start here... On the dreams and "do what we like" and "let them point and laugh at who we are" part that oddly resembles the shipping container talk... or the "it was you and me here dancing from the start" part that conjures up images of them dancing at the Embassy?
We don't need money to feel good
'Cause you're the ridе or die, the rest of my lifе
Sure, the luxuries they can afford because of the money they have are pleasant, to say the least... But there are other, much more satisfying things that make their hearts beat just right – like the thrill of a chase or a heist. As for the "ride or die" part... I've said it before and I'll say it again a million times – they are each other's ride or die for the rest of their lives and they are perfectly content to be just that.
You see the truth, you're in my heart
And you catch me every time
And if you're low and fall apart
I'll bring some peace back in your mind
Ah, and there it is, the part I used for my gifset! I think all the comments that can be made here are unnecessary because the lyrics are pretty much self-explanatory and very on brand for our soft babies who will always catch the other when they stumble or lose their metaphorical footing or fall and soothe and support each other through the darkest of hours.
And last but not the least:
Through the sky, to the stars in your eyes
They've all tried to bring us down but
We keep moving up
They wanna steal our golden crown
But all the roads will lead 'em back to us
How many times criminals, authorities and all the people in-between tried to bring Red and Lizxy down? Lots and lots. But they still find their way back to each other every. single. time.
As for the golden crown and "all the roads will lead them back to us", this part reminds me of my Red Queen & Concierge of Crime headcanon/au and the fact that no matter how much smarter etc. than Red criminals and the Task Force and the government alike sometimes think they are, they always come begging for his help in the end because he's the only one who can get the job's done and fix all the messes.
All in all, just listen to this song and the cover I linked in the aforementioned gifset and I promise you, you won't regret it!)
And sorry for rambling! I've just suddenly got hit by all the feels from this song...)
O.M.G. 💛💛💛
Wow this is such a beautiful analysis of the song lyrics and I wholeheartedly agree that in the early seasons (the only real seasons loll) they definitely do have each other's backs and that's one of the reasons I think people shipped them so hard.
Also "you catch me every time"? 🙂🥲🙃 I mean, he really really does, doesn't he (even at the terrible time we will not acknowledge)
Oh man. No need to apologize, I get it. It's kind of nice how some songs are kind of helping us through this time of grief ❤️
Thank you for sharing with us!

I've never actually sent a prompt before so forgive me if I'm not following some kind of protocol haha. Anyways, I have this headcanon hard-on for Jesus calling Daryl 'angel.' Like, it starts off as Jesus just being a little shit because 'haha, Jesus' angel' , but it evolves into Daryl actually enjoying the nickname and Jesus meaning it as a true term of endearment. Love your blog btw!
“Hey, Angel. Come look at this,” Daryl scowled when he heard Jesus call to him from a few feet over. He stood up from where he was setting an animal trap and turned toward the man kneeling in the dirt.
“I thought I told you to stop calling me that. It ain’t funny,” Daryl said as he stomped over to Jesus. When he got close enough he saw what Jesus was looking at. It was a small nest of what used to be living baby rabbits. Daryl saw one squirm a bit and frowned. One out of six was still fighting. Daryl assumed the mother must have gotten killed or eaten by damn walkers.
“Aw. Come on, Angel. You know you secretly love it. What should we do about this little guy?” Jesus asked as he gently picked up the tiny rabbit. Daryl watched as the tiny fluff of hair crawled around Jesus’ hand looking for something to suck on. Daryl had to admit he felt bad for the little guy.
“Let’s just take ‘em. If a man they call Jesus can’t save a baby bunny, he needs to find a new nickname. And no I don’t like being called angel. Stop,” Daryl turned on his heel and walked back towards the Hilltop. He’d moved there after the war to make sure Maggie and baby Rhee would be safe. He knew she could take care of herself but he still wanted to be close to her.
“How do I even take care of this thing? It’s smaller than my hand,” Jesus asked from behind Daryl. He may be light on his feet most of the time but when he was distracted, he sounded like a goddamn elephant.
“It’s easy. Get a syringe from the medical supplies, some milk from one of them cows, and give it to the little fur ball. Then keep it warm,” Daryl said as he waved to Kal who was up on watch. The doors slowly creaked open and they walked inside. Daryl headed straight for Jesus’ trailer while Jesus headed toward the medical supply trailer.
Not long after Daryl sat down at the table to start cleaning the squirrels he killed, Jesus walked in with the bunny sucking away at a syringe. Daryl scoffed at how hard Jesus was concentrating on not trying to overstuff the little thing.
“Here. Give it to me,” Daryl said as he stood up and walked to where Jesus was standing. He slowly took the small creature and held it close to his chest as he walked to the couch. He sat down slowly and slouched so he could lay the tiny rabbit on his chest. He looked up and noticed that Jesus was staring at him with a small grin on his face.
“I’ve said it a million times and I’ll say it again; you really are an angel,” Jesus said as he shrugged off his coat and hung it on the hooks next to the door. He walked over to the couch and sat down next to Daryl. Daryl lightly cupped his hand over the rabbit then leaned to the side and took the mostly clean rag out of his back pocket and thrust it toward Jesus.
“Fold that into fourths. And stop callin’ me angel; you’re messin’ with my head,” Daryl said as the younger man took the rag and chuckled. Daryl never took his eyes off the rabbit that had finally stopped sucking on the syringe. It was almost empty now so, the little shit must’ve been starving. He smiled a little when the rabbit made a tiny squeak and curled into itself.
“Here’s your rag. Am I making you actually like being called angel or something? Is that what’s happening?” Jesus said as he handed the rag back to Daryl. Daryl looked over at the man and rolled his eyes when he saw the shit eating grin on his face. Daryl laid the rag over the rabbit and steadied his breathing.
“You’re a real prick, you know that?” Daryl said as he looked back over at Jesus. Jesus chuckled and leaned over to plant a small kiss on Daryl’s nose.
“Mhmm, but guess what, angel. You love me anyway,” Jesus whispered as he put his forehead on Daryl’s. Daryl closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He had to admit, the nickname was quickly growing on him.
“Yeah, I do. And I don’t really mind being called angel. I just liked givin’ you shit about it,” Daryl said with a grin as he cupped the rabbit against his chest and slowly stood up. He walked toward the bedroom and toed off his boots at the threshold. He walked to the bed and gently laid down. He chuckled when he realized that Jesus was right behind him.
“Now who’s the prick?” Jesus asked as he laid on his side next to Daryl. Daryl chuckled and relaxed into the bed. He was exhausted and the rabbit was sapping all his energy. He didn’t know if they could really do that but that was his excuse anyway.
“Let’s take a nap while this little guy is. I’m tired,” Daryl said as he brought his hand up to gently cup the rabbit still fast asleep on his chest. He’d have to be up in an hour or two to feed it again but he didn’t mind. He had to admit that the fluff ball was actually kind of cute.
“Let’s name him Ares, angel. He seems like a fighter and Ares was the Greek god of war. It’s only fitting to have a god, a Jesus, and an angel in our little family. Sound good?” Daryl heard Jesus ask before yawning. He felt Jesus drape his arm over his belly and curl closer to him. Daryl placed his free hand over Jesus’ own.
“Yeah, sounds good. G’night, Paul,” Daryl said before he slowly drifted into a peaceful slumber.
“G’night, angel,” Jesus said as he allowed himself to relax into the mattress. Soon enough, he was out like a light.
~~~~
When Maggie came to check on them a few hours later, she was surprised at the sight she saw when she ventured into Jesus’ bedroom. There was a baby bunny crawling down Daryl’s stomach toward his legs while Daryl and Jesus were fast asleep. She quietly walked into the bedroom and scooped up the bunny before it fell off the bed.
“Come on, little guy. Let’s get you some milk and let these lovebirds sleep a bit. What do you think, hmm?” Maggie said as she cradled the bunny against her chest. She smiled when she heard the bunny let out a tiny squeak and took that as an approval. She walked out of the trailer and back to Barrington House with the tiny bundle of fur.

I hope this is okay! I love this a lot and think Daryl would know how to take care of a baby rabbit. I dunno, just a thought. Anyway, I hope you like this and I hope it’s not too far from what you wanted.

re re my last two posts, part of why joker is dangerous isn’t bc he’s “homicidal” so much as indifferent to the suffering of others by choice. the world was harsh to him, violent to him, and his view is sort of that the world is dog eat dog and you do what you need to in order to survive and thrive. he’s similar to batman in some senses; he takes his own trauma, his own fear and uses it to become the thing that goes bump in the night and causes fear in others. the difference is that Batman serves his own emotional interests by trying to help people whereas joker just serves his own emotional interests with no regard for how it helps OR hurts others. he’s self centred bc he’s had to be but instead of stopping there he just kept going down that rabbit hole of self serving behaviour at the expense of others

also re: my last headcanon ask post, a lot of jokers motivation for crime is just to be seen and heard and cause problems on purpose. he wears gaudy outfits and clown makeup and makes grandiose announcements of his crimes bc it’s about the recognition and attention a lot of the time. Batman is part of his motivation, he wants Batman to chase after him and be concerned w him. the joker refuses to be ignored or ~silenced~ gaslight gatekeep girlboss

romantic headcanons
NAME: ???
ALIAS: Joker, John Doe, Jack Napier
GENDER: male mostly/usually
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Pansexual but doesn’t use labels
ROMANTIC ORIENTATION: Panromantic but doesn’t use labels
PREFERRED PET NAMES: It depends on how close he is to the person in question. Cheesy nicknames are his absolute favourite, bonus points if they’re creative or unique, or at least uncommon/unusual. Especially if we consider the canon puddin’ thing.
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single, usually
OPINION ON TRUE LOVE: Part of him hopes it exists but he isn’t sure and doesn’t see a point in thinking too deeply about it.
OPINION ON LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT: He doesn’t think it actually exists. He also doesn’t think it really matters, especially not if true love doesn’t exist.
HOW ‘ROMANTIC’ ARE THEY?: It varies wildly based on his mood and who his partner is. If he has intense feelings, he can be incredibly romantic (if he hasn’t gone into the extremes of jealoust and obsession). He is a perceptive person, so if he’s got the right motivations and methods he can pull off some pretty thoughtful and romantic gestures but.... it’s not always the norm.
IDEAL PHYSICAL TRAITS: All over the place, honestly. He really doesn’t have a “type”. Though a good head of hair and a pair of pretty eyes never hurt.
IDEAL PERSONALITY TRAITS: Clever, resourceful, loyal, and funny. Oh, and if you laugh at his jokes that’s an immediate plus.
UNATTRACTIVE PHYSICAL TRAITS: Mostly just a lack of personal hygiene but even then he can handle more blood, sweat and cigarette smoke than most.
UNATTRACTIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS: Humourless, boring, rude. Doesn’t laugh at any of his jokes :(
DO THEY HAVE A TYPE?: This too is all over the place :’0) he doesn’t really have a particular “type”, that’s too limiting for him.
OPINION OF PUBLIC AFFECTION: He doesn’t care. Fuck the rules, fuck in public, just don’t get your fluids on his stuff. Engaging in public affection is another thing entirely, but he’s a show off and might as well be an exhibitionist given how much he loves attention.
FAVOURITE CANON SHIP: Uhhh none unless you count things like Lego Batman as canon Batjokes :’0)
FAVOURITE NON-CANON SHIP: Batjokes I guess, but I’m sure I’ll find others in due time

tagging: uhhhhh .... n’yall :3c

Alright, time for some pretentious sociological-esque rambling. This is gonna be long as hell (its 1822 words to be specific) and I don’t begrudge anyone for not having the patience to read my over-thought perspectives on a murder clown. CWs for: child abuse,
I think a lot of things have to go wrong in someone’s life for them to decide to become a clown themed supervillain. A lot of people in Gotham have issues but they don’t become the Joker. I think that as a writer it’s an interesting topic to explore, and this is especially true for roleplaying where a character might be in different scenarios or universes. This isn’t some peer reviewed or researched essay, it’s more my own personal beliefs and perspectives as they affect my writing. I think villains, generally, reflect societal understandings or fears about the world around us. This is obviously going to mean villains shift a lot over time and the perspective of the writer. In my case, I’m a queer, fat, mentally ill (cluster B personality disorder specifically) woman-thing who holds some pretty socialist ideas and political perspectives. My educational background is in history and legal studies. This definitely impacts how I write this character, how I see crime and violence, and how my particular villains reflect my understandings of the society I live in. I want to get this stuff out of the way now so that my particular take on what a potential origin story of a version of the Joker could be makes more sense.
Additionally, these backstory factors I want to discuss aren’t meant to excuse someone’s behaviour, especially not the fucking Joker’s of all people. It’s merely meant to explain how a person (because as far as we know that’s all he is) could get to that point in a way that doesn’t blame only one factor or chalk it up to “this is just an evil person.” I don’t find that particularly compelling as a writer or an audience member, so I write villains differently. I also don’t find it to be particularly true in real life either. If you like that style of writing or see the Joker or other fictional villains in this way, that’s fine. I’m not here to convince anyone they’re wrong, especially not when it comes to people’s perspectives on the nature of evil or anything that lofty. Nobody has to agree with me, or even like my headcanons; they’re just here to express the very specific position I’m writing from.
The first thing I wanna do is set up some terms. These aren’t academic or anything, but I want to use specific and consistent phrasing for this post. When it comes to the factors that screw up someone’s life significantly (and in some instances push people towards crime), I’ll split them into micro and macro factors. Micro factors are interpersonal and personal issues, so things like personality traits, personal beliefs, mental health, family history, where and how someone is raised, and individual relationships with the people around them. Macro factors are sociological and deal with systems of oppression, cultural or social trends/norms, political and legal restrictions and/or discrimination, etc. These two groups of factors interact, sometimes in a fashion that is causative and sometimes not, but they aren’t entirely separate and the line between what is a micro vs macro issue isn’t always fixed or clear.
We’ll start in and work out. For this character, the micro factors are what determine the specifics of his actions, demeanor, and aesthetic. I think the main reason he’s the Joker and not just some guy with a whole lot of issues is his world view combined with his personality. He has a very pessimistic worldview, one that is steeped in a very toxic form of individualism, cynicism, and misanthropy. His life experience tells him the world is a cold place where everyone is on their own. To him the world is not a moral place. He doesn’t think people in general have much value. He learned at a young age that his life had no value to others, and he has internalized that view and extrapolated it to the world at large; if his life didn’t matter and doesn’t matter, why would anyone else’s? This worldview, in the case of my specific Joker, comes from a childhood rife with abandonment, abuse, and marginalization. While I will say he is definitively queer (in terms fo gender expression and non conformity, and sexuality), I’m not terribly interested in giving specific diagnoses of any mental health issues. Those will be discussed more broadly and in terms of specific symptoms with relation to how they affect the Joker’s internal experience, and externalized behaviours.
His childhood was, to say the least, pretty fucked up. The details I do have for him are that he was surrendered at birth because his parents, for some reason, did not want to care for him or could not care for him; which it was, he isn’t sure. He grew up effectively orphaned, and ended up in the foster care system. He wasn’t very “adoptable”; he had behavioural issues, mostly violent behaviours towards authority figures and other children. He never exactly grew out of these either, and the older he got the harder it was to actually be adopted. His legal name was Baby Boy Doe for a number of years, but the name he would identify the most with is Jack. Eventually he took on the surname of one of his more stable foster families, becoming Jack Napier as far as the government was concerned. By the time he had that stability in his mid to late teens, however, most of the damage had already been done. In his younger years he was passed between foster families and government agencies, always a ward of the government, something that would follow him to his time in Arkham and Gotham’s city jails. Some of his foster families were decent, others were just okay, but some were physically and psychologically abusive. This abuse is part of what defines his worldview and causes him to see the world as inherently hostile and unjust. It also became one of the things that taught him that violence is how you solve problems, particularly when emotions run high.
This was definitely a problem at school too; moving around a lot meant going to a lot of different schools. Always being the new student made him a target, and being poor, exhibiting increasingly apparent signs of some sort of mental illness or disorder, and being typically suspected as queer (even moreso as he got into high school) typically did more harm than good for him. He never got to stay anywhere long enough to form deep relationships, and even in the places where he did have more time to do that he often ended up isolated from his peers. He was often bullied, sometimes just verbally but often physically which got worse as he got older and was more easily read as queer. This is part of why he’s so good at combat and used to taking hits; he’s been doing it since he was a kid, and got a hell of a lot of practice at school. He would tend to group up with other kids like him, other outcasts or social rejects, which in some ways meant being around some pretty negative influences in terms of peers. A lot of his acquaintances were fine, but some were more... rebellious and ended up introducing Jack to things like drinking, smoking cigarettes, using recreational drugs, and most important to his backstory, to petty crimes like theft and vandalism, sometimes even physical fights. This is another micro factor in that maybe if he had different friends, or a different school experience individually, he might have avoided getting involved in criminal activities annd may have been able to avoid taking up the mantle of The Joker.
Then there’s how his adult life has reinforced these experiences and beliefs. Being institutionalized, dealing with police and jails, and losing what little support he had as a minor and foster child just reinforced his worldview and told him that being The Joker was the right thing to do, that he was correct in his actions and perspectives. Becoming The Joker was his birthday present to himself at age 18, how he ushered himself into adulthood, and I plan to make a post about that on its own. But the fact that he decided to determine this part of his identity so young means that this has defined how he sees himself as an adult. It’s one of the last micro factors (when in life he adopted this identity) that have gotten him so entrenched in his typical behaviours and self image.
As for macro factors, a lot of them have to do specifically with the failing of Gotham’s institutions. Someone like Bruce Wayne, for example, was also orphaned and also deals with trauma; the difference for the Joker is that he had no safety net to catch him when he fell (or rather, was dropped). Someone like Wayne could fall into the cushioning of wealth and the care of someone like Alfred, whereas the Joker (metaphorically) hit the pavement hard and alone. Someone like the Joker should never have become the Joker in the first place because the systems in place in Gotham should have seen every red flag and done something to intervene; this just didn’t happen for him, and not out of coincidence but because Gotham seems like a pretty corrupt place with a lot of systemic issues. Critically underfunded social services (healthcare, welfare, children & family services) that result in a lack of resources for the people who need them and critically underfunded schools that can’t offer extra curricular activities or solid educations that allow kids to stay occupied and develop life skills are probably the most directly influential macro factors that shaped Jack into someone who could resent people and the society around him so much that he’d lose all regard for it to the point of exacting violence against others. There’s also the reality of living in a violent culture, and in violent neighbourhoods exacerbated by poverty, poor policing or overpolicing, and being raised as a boy and then a young man with certain gendered expectations about violence but especially ideas/narratives that minimalize or excuse male violence (especially when it comes to bullying or violent peer-to-peer behaviour under the guise of ‘boys will be boys’).
Beyond that, there’s the same basic prejudices and societal forces that affect so many people: classism, homphobia/queerphobia, (toxic) masculinity/masculine expectations, and ableism (specifically in regards to people who are mentally ill or otherwise neurodivergent) stand out as the primary factors. I’m touching on these broadly because if I were to talk about them all, they would probably need their own posts just to illustrate how they affect this character. But they definitely exist in Gotham if it’s anything like the real world, and I think it’s fair to extrapolate that these kinds of these exist in Gotham and would impact someone like The Joker with the background I’ve given him.
I have no idea how to end this so if you got this far, thank you for reading!

My version of Jonker is pretty... human. He just dyes his hair and wears makeup. But to give an idea of what his features look like, this is a rough approximation of his natural hair, the general colour of his dyed hair (depending on how well he bleaches his natural hair - this is specifically using colour charts from Arctic Fox), his eyes, and skin tone beneath the clown makeup.

since i’m on a roll, i think part of what makes joker villainous is that he chooses to do things that hurt others either actively or out of neglect for how his actions impact people around him. he uses his trauma, his experience living in gotham, to be self serving in a way that hurts others but he does this by choice. he could choose to do better -- he could choose to be more like batman (who for the sake of this we’ll call heroic, esp as a foil to joker), he could choose to be more like telltale vigilante joker (misguided but still aiming in the right direction), but he chooses otherwise. its about how he uses his agency, rather than a lack of agency that makes him do things.

Joker loves musicals and he has a great memory for lyrics and melodies. Some of his favourite shows (and the ones he will sometimes sing if he’s particularly jovial) are Meet Me In St. Louis, Wizard of Oz (and the 1980s rework The Wiz), Cabaret, Chicago, Cats, Rocky Horror, Hairpsray and Singin’ In The Rain.
