Yandere!Arthur Fleck Headcanons

TW: Stalking, intrusion/breaking in, obsessive/controlling behavior, possible violence

A/N: Thank you to the anon who requested this. I hope you like it!

Arthur Fleck is definitely a jealous, obsessive type of yandere.

Due to his job(s), Arthur wouldn't be able to keep a constant eye on each and every move of yours.

Still he would find a way to let you know that he was always watching you.

After following you to your workplace/school once, he would make a habit of leaving you small notes there. The notes would be things such as "I'm watching you <3" or "You our so pretty" or "Can't wate to marry you :) "

How did it all begin, you ask? Well, it all started when you showed up at his doorstep on a plain Thursday night. An envelope - perhaps a bill - addressed to one "Arthur Fleck" was delivered to you by accident. So, you took it to the address listed on the bill, and found yourself face-to-face with the tall, green-eyed, thin man.

You gently told him what had happened, handed him the bill, and politely bid him goodnight.

Taken aback by your willingness to do the right thing, Arthur became intrigued with you. After you left, he wanted nothing more than to see you again.

The next day, you met Arthur by accident at Pogo's, a comedy club within Gotham. Drinking a bottle of inexpensive liquor or beer, you sat at a table alone...when all of a sudden, you saw Arthur take the stage.

His jokes were...fair. You liked some of the things he said about his schooling. So out of support, you laughed along with him with the best grin that you could muster.

You thought it was just harmless encouragement. But to Arthur, that was the confirmation to solidify what he already believed: you were made for him, that you were an angel sent from heaven to bring him joy in this dreary life of his. And that he could never let you be hurt by anyone, including himself.

Much of what Arthur did was...rather tame. In addition to leaving you notes, he would surprise you while you were on the way back from work/school. He'd give you a spontaneous song-and-dance routine, something inspired from an old film or one of his jobs as Carnival.

When he had a little extra money, he would leave a cheap, small box of chocolates or candies at your workplace. Along with a crude drawing of you and him as stick figures, holding hands surrounded by hearts.

It was easier not to take it personally, even though something in your gut felt very, very wrong about Arthur. He needed help, he needed a professional intervention from a therapist far better than the shoddy ones in the city. Still, a part of you thought that maybe he was just having a little crush, and that it would pass.

But everything changed one Saturday night. It was after the famous talk show host Murray Franklin was assassinated on live television by a comedian known as the "Joker" wearing a colorful costume and clown makeup.

Coincidentally, Arthur was mysteriously gone from you life. He was nowhere near you, much to your surprise. Relieved a little, you relaxed in your apartment with your favorite comfort food and a feel-good television show.

Just then, there was a knock. A familiar voice, calling your name.

Annoyed, you opened the door with a huff. "Arthur, how the hell did you- " At your door stood the same man who killed Murray Franklin, clown makeup dripping in all of its maniacal glory.

"There's no one to stop me now, doll," the Joker sweetly spoke, entering your apartment with a confident stride. "We can finally be together."

You trembled, trying to think of an escape route, any way to get out of this situation. "Arthur, please..."

The Joker slammed your door shut, and turned the lock. "I'm not him anymore, doll. I'm your world now. And don't even bother calling the police..." He pulled out a gun from his pocket and fired two shots at the door, causing you to scream.

"Now, now..." the Joker knelt, stroking your cheek with his thumb. "I'm not going to hurt you. You're mine, remember?"

Welcome back Mun! Can you please do flirting headcanons for Arthur and joker, like how they would approach a crush? Thanks!! 💜🙏🏻

Hello sweet anon! I'm working my way slowly back into the Joker mood, so this is a gift to me. I love it! Here goes:

Arthur:

He tries to catch your attention by simple and small gestures. A smile when you look his way. A sway with his head. A particular look: his eyes deliberately travelling up and down your frame, gaze intense.

He probably would walk over to you to clumsily start a conversation.

But someone else would probably get in the way and he’d lose his courage to go ahead.

When you do give him attention again, he will let you do most of the talking. But he’ll give silent signals that he likes you.

He’d probably wear a flower that squirts water on his vest to look smart – borrowed it from his Carnival costume.

He’d try cracking a joke.

Even if the joke is lost on you, he will try another. Because, you just smiled kindly at him at his first attempt, and that is all the encouragement he needs, really.

He’d be shy about inviting you to his home. But if the opportunity arose, he would.

He would hold the doors for you, allowing you entrance first. Whether at his home or at a little café you’d go to have a drink.

He’d pay for you, even though it might be the last coins he has on his person.

And no, he won’t have you pay, even if you have seen how little he has and even if you offer.  It is just not done. THIS is part of the wooing process. Him being as much as a gentleman conform the gentleman rulebook he imagines must exist. Be polite, be kind, treat you like a princess/prince.

He’d make fun little balloon animals for you.

He’d probably make you a fun balloon ring too, when he proposes chivalrously on one knee.

You mention that drink you like? Next time you’re in his house he has it.

That food? Yep, it’s there. He keeps a list of all things you say you enjoy, and tries to give it all to you.

He is a hopeless romantic. And though many of his flirting attempts seem to go awry because of his clumsiness and his self-doubt/lack of self-esteem, you always seem to enjoy the efforts. So it never feels as if he’s failing. It feels as if he is winning instead.

Joker:

He is different that his counterpart. Much different. He walks with a confident swagger and isn’t afraid to lay his claim.

He tells the same crappy jokes. Only, he laughs openly after he told them. Unlike Arthur, who seems to be measuring your reaction and giggles only shyly. Joker just guffaws out loud. And if you have to laugh because he does, then it counts as a win, right?

Want to come to his place? I mean, there is no answer like no.

He redecorated. You spot things that are brand new.

You mention something you like, it’s there the next time you visit. But not in the inconspicuous way that shy Arthur would do it. These are obvious gestures. He even makes you aware of it with wide gestures of his arms, asking you if you like it.

He pays for your food, and when you’re out shopping and you see something you like, he pays for it too. Nothing is too expensive for his sweetheart.

You’re still his princess/prince though. But instead of being your prince Charming, he’s more like your royalty’s Bodyguard. He’s always hyper-alert, always making sure possible competition can’t reach you and threats can get nowhere near to you.

You want that teddy? He’ll get you one. Did he cheat to get it? Mweh, maybe. He got it though.

He will woo you by performing little one-man shows, just for you.

He’d do the striptease dance thing, but with much more swagger than Arthur ever would (though bless you, Arthur would give it his all as well and be smashing at it).

He’d use sweettalk on you, but if he’s impatient, he’d use his mouth and his hands to get you where he wants to have you (and I mean that in a sensual way).

You want that in your future? He’ll give you that. You decide which path the both of you’ll take. He’ll be along for the journey. Because after all, no matter how much you are his, he is also yours. Hope you liked it <3 I have added a masterlist to my sticky post. It still starts with the personal note about my health, but it should be there underneath it now.

Arthur Fleck:

Artie is more laid back at first. If anything, he comes off more proud than jealous. What can he say? He knows you're gorgeous, but you're all his, so what's the bother in fighting over it? He knows who comes home with him at the end of the night.

Now, if the situation is different and people who are flirting start making you uncomfortable, Artie has little tolerance and self-control.

He'll come up with excuses like needing you somewhere else or pretending he hadn't known where you'd ran off to, only to stand either beside or behind you, hand on shoulder, and blue orbs staring holes into your suitor's unwanted attention.

However, there are many instances where simply no one is flirting or even remotely interested in you, but they're very brief if that.

There'll be cases where Artie hasn't seen you for a long time, he's tired, or just extra clingy; anything and everything will piss him off and he'd want you all for himself.

He's actions typically are the same, finding excuses to make you leave, and then becoming a jolly little child after he's finally got you in his grasp.

He'll briskly apologize after all is said and done, though. He knows when he can be a little too...Artie.

The Joker:

Almost a perfect example of polar opposites, yin and yang, black and white, Joker is by far different than Arthur.

He's jealous, extremely so, and is not too keen on making his actions light and subtle.

While he still knows that you only have eyes for him, Joker doesn't like anyone's eyes on you and believes you should only be for him to marvel at. This causes many arguments between you, but you ultimately can never refuse him as you tend to see from all sides and know he only wants the best in a way.

Joker asserts himself in drastic ways when jealous, walking up to innocent civilians or potential suitors and just laying his hands on your hips, head dipping to capture your lips. He basks in the utter shock of the random viewers and even holds your bottom lip between his teeth as he pulls away. Always the charmer.

When, in most cases, no one truly wants anything more than innocent chatter, and Joker senses the person's presence for too long, he's not too nice at pulling you away.

He'll stomp up to you like a child, even, grab your hand, and stomp away if need be. Or, his hands are all over you, undressing you with his eyes and hands playing at things he really shouldn't in public.

In any of these cases, even if the night ends in an argument, he always makes it up to you in intimate settings. He's got a kink for being punished and he's no better than a man.

[jokerownsmysoul]

If Arthur had a kid, I’m sure they would do anything to steal from daddy's vanity all the Carnival items Arthur needs for his gigs. They would want to wear his clown nose around the apt all day, and play with his bouquet of flowers, the magic wand and his handkerchief. They would love also to draw and paint with his make up colors and grease paint, more than likely making a mess on the walls and any surface within their reach. Something tells me Arthur wouldn't mind and rather he'd love to draw and play with them with his Carnival items, make them laugh and spend time with them filled with joy. No child could ever resist all those little magic treats, colors and paintbrushes that look straight from a wonderland 💐💘:🔴)

[tally-kiza]

Smut alphabet for Arthur Fleck

I couldn’t resist. It’s been 84 years since I’ve attempted to write headcanons, and of all the characters to drag me back into it, it’s the Joker. My god. 

Most of these are centered around Arthur before he becomes Joker, and my take on him is probably a bit rougher than most? Just as a heads up.

Words: 3041

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Aftercare specifically? I don’t think he really... knows what that would be. He’s extremely inexperienced and most of his exposure to sex is through movies with risque scenes, dirty magazines, and locker room talk at HaHa’s. And I’m sure none of those sources talk very much about what happens after the fact. 

I think he’d just kinda... basks in the afterglow and smiles all giddily. He holds his partner close, afraid that if he lets go for even a moment they’ll disappear into smoke and this will all have been nothing but a hallucination. For as long as his partner allows, he’ll just keep holding them. 

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Arthur’s favorite part of his partner is definitely their mouth. Not even really in a sex way, he just adores their smile and their laugh; he could daydream about that smile all day. One of his favorite things on earth is to just. Kiss them. Long and deeply, like in his favorite old movies. Until he snaps, and suddenly his tongue is down their throat and oops it's not quite so romantic any more, so much as just very very horny.

Also tits. Dude likes himself some tits. 

His favorite body part of his own...? How could he have one when he hates everything about himself? Although if gun to head he had to pick something, it’d probably be his hair. Despite how little he gives a shit about taking care of the rest of himself, he does actually try to keep his hair nice. He thinks it makes him look almost handsome sometimes. <3

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

It’s clear and watery. With his diet of essentially only coffee, cigarettes, and microwave dinners, it probably doesn’t taste very good either. Often after jacking himself off he’ll lick it off his hand and recoil every time. Yeah, he’s nasty like that. With a partner, he would not blame them for a second for spitting instead of swallowing. 

As much as he loves to come inside, he also gets a dirty satisfaction from coming on their face. Probably even kinda... smears it around with his softening cock, trying to cover as much of their face in it as possible. If only his come was just a bit whiter, he could get their face just as white as his when he’s playing as Carnival.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Heee steals his partner’s underwear. Or just any article of clothing of theirs he can get his hands on. Arthur feels kinda bad about it but not really. Not bad enough to not jerk off with their clothes in his fist. Though he is very very careful to never get his cum on it. He would never admit his filthy habit in a hundred years... unless his partner asks him straight up. Then just like how he confessed to Sophie about how he followed her, he’ll admit it with the cockiest of nervous little smiles on his face, hoping they’ll be into it.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

Mans is a virgin. He’s about as inexperienced as you can get. I’d be willing to bet he’s a kissless virgin at that, before he macked one right onto Dr. Sally on live television of course. Because of his inexperience, he’s kinda clueless on what he’s doing. Sure, he’s read more than his fair share of dirty magazines but most didn’t exactly explain what to do. The first couple times he fucks, he’ll be kinda fumbling, wide-eyed and curious, and definitely comes early. It might take him a while to adjust to the learning curve but he’s a very eager student in the meantime. He has more than enough hungry enthusiasm to make it a fun time regardless.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

I’m genuinely not sure if he really has one. He’s just happy to be there. But he does love any position that lets him deeply kiss his partner.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

I think it... depends. Above all things, Arthur is unpredictable. Just in general. I think he almost switches between moods during sex, seemingly at random, from shy one moment to humorous the next―perhaps to stave off his nerves and performance anxiety―and then serious the next. However sweet or shy or goofy the romp of the day may start, in all his efforts to see that beautiful smile and hear that laugh again, the moment the clothes start coming off, his attempts at humor die off and like a switch flips, his eyes burn dark and hungry, and he wants nothing more than to fuck you for hours.

As he becomes the Joker though? Oh mans is just a silly lil guy when he fucks. He giggles, he cries, he tries to tell jokes to get a smile on his partner’s face... Though perhaps macabre humor while balls deep isn’t the best of times or places. 

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

99% of the time Arthur doesn’t bother shaving anything. He shaves his face, save sideburns, and nothing else. The only time he might shave his junk is before a big date... or what he thinks will be a date. And even then, he only trims it to a short length, so it looks neat and respectable. :)

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

He has big dreams of being very romantic and intimate during sex. Not exactly rose petals and candles, but that type of wistful longing romance and blazingly romantic speeches you see a lot in old films. Arthur tries so, so hard to be as suave and romantic as them. Maybe too much so? He kinda flubs it. The veneer cracks and his innate awkwardness shows through. If he gets in his head about it too much, he won’t be able to continue and finish. When he stops trying to be something he’s not though, and just lets himself be, (not in the Joker-y way, this is still Arthur here―) he can be very romantic in his own right. Muttering sweet words into his partner’s neck and holding them tenderly around the waist, even as he loses his rhythm and ends up bucking frantically into them. 

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

Arthur’s fantasies run wild when he jerks off. Most often on the couch, late at night, with his pants half off and his briefs pulled down just enough for him to fist his cock. Sometimes smoking a cheap cigarette all the while. He fantasizes of being a total casanova, sweeping his partner off their feet; of making love for hours; of a universe where he’s a braver man and takes his partner right in the middle of a dance floor and shows everyone to whom they belong. In Arthur’s fantasies he’s not completely clumsy and groping blindly like he knows he actually would be in real life. He desperately hopes he can make his fantasies a reality someday. He knows he won’t though. 

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Despite how often the world beats him down again and again, I actually think he’d be into sadism and masochism. Sadism slightly more so. He’d be timid and hesitant about S/M at first, but when he’s had a bad enough day... a slap to the face hits just right, so to speak. It never feels bad when it's with his partner, when he knows―hopes―they love him. Some choking in particular makes his cock throb and his brain feel fuzzy in the best ways, whether giving or receiving. 

Also, shotgunning. Shotgunning the smoke from his partially-smoked Pall Mall into his partner’s mouth while he stares darkly into their eyes is one of the easiest ways to get him wildly riled up. 

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

Every surface in his damn apartment. The couch, the armchair, against a wall, a table, the floor, kitchen countertops. The only place off-limits is his mom’s bed when she’s out of the apartment for whatever reason. That’s before he kills her, of course. After he kills her, he’s probably more than happy to hate-fuck in her bed. I don’t know if he’d really have a favorite location though. The romantic in him craves to make love in a cozy bed. The desperate loner in him is just happy to fuck anywhere at all. 

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

This one... is difficult for me. Because Arthur just gets so attached so easily. A woman only so much as talked with him once in an elevator once and he was so smitten that he stalked her around the city. So I think what gets him going? ...Any romantic affection at all. He is so desperate for love and recognition, that if he so much as got a hug and a kiss, his dick would shake off its meds/cigs-induced ED and instantly get rock fuckin hard. Okay maybe not rock hard. But aroused for sure.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

I think a mommy/daddy kink would be a definite no for him. Especially after he kills his mom. When he hears the petname of mommy, his erection is officially dead. Goodbye, farewell, see you another day, orgasm! Also not a complete no, but I don’t think Arthur’s very comfortable bottoming. Makes him feel uncomfortably vulnerable, even if he does trust his partner wholeheartedly. He prefers to be on top.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Arthur will tell himself that he prefers giving, comforting himself with how it makes him feel so romantic and gentlemanly. And while he does fucking love it, even if he’s not the best at it―loves having the most beautiful view of watching them unravel just for him in a way that makes him feel so very real... He can’t lie to himself, deep down. He prefers to receive. 

Arthur would trade an arm and a leg for a blow job, I think. Not even necessarily a good one. Like, he’ll accept teeth. He just craves any at all. One of his favorite fantasies is guiding his partner to take his cock, being very gentle and romantic about it... And then throat fucking them until they’re a mess of drool and tears and his come. Good luck ever getting him to confess that, though.

Ahaha but Joker fucking lives for when his partner has their monthly, if they’re able to. After he makes them come, giggling all the while, and his face is covered in blood and juices... much like the ending scene of the movie, he smears it into his signature painted smile. He delights in it. Nasty nasty rat of a man. 

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Slow and sensual and very very sweet on a good day. When he can take his time and treat them like the god/dess he views them to be. But on some bad days... well, his frustration needs to go somewhere. He’ll grip hips hard enough to bruise, his ribs press sharply into them,  and he snaps his own bony hips against theirs hard enough to hurt. In the heat of the moment, he’ll cover their neck and collar in hickies and dark marks. He’ll drive them to orgasm as many times as he needs until he can feel like a fucking person again, until they’re nothing but a puddle of a person left beneath him.

Other bad days, he’s just... tired. When he doesn’t have the frustration to go rough, or the heart to go sweet, he just collapses into his partner’s warm embrace, naked and sad and accepting of all the loving they’re beyond generous enough to bestow upon him. 

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

Quickies galore, here, there, and everywhere. Arthur loves ‘em. Most of the time he prefers to take his time with his partner but sometimes he’s just so horny and can’t wait to get inside them, that he can’t help but indulge. His favorite kind of quickie is to take his partner against a wall, hard and roughly.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Risks as in, exhibitionism? Mmmno, no, I don’t think so. Gotham being... the way it is, and his neighborhood in particular being so seedy, I don’t think he’d ever wanna do anything in public. Besides. No one can ever see his partner in the throes of intimacy. That’s his view and his alone. If anyone else ever sees his partner midfuck, his fingers will itch for his .38. 

Other experimentation however? Probably not a majorly experimental guy. Once he figures out what in particular he likes, I think he’s perfectly content to just rotate between those as the night calls for. But if his partner really wants to try something experimental, he can be convinced with a kiss. Or a handjob. Or a compliment. He’s easily convinced.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

One round and uhhh not very long at all. Between the meds and how his smoking habit is slowly decaying his body, it can be hard enough to... get hard enough, haha, just to finish one round at all. And with how touch starved he is, he can only last a couple minutes of direct touching. Do not be surprised if he comes in his pants even. He feels embarrassed about it sometimes. :(

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

Do the couch cushions count? I wouldn’t entirely put it past him to fuck into a pillow or the cushions as if it were a fleshlight, or the real thing. But otherwise no, Arthur has no toys for himself. If his partner had some that he could use on them, I think he would use them but it’d rile him up afterwards, purely out of jealousy that this little object can make his partner just as aroused as he can. He’ll be determined to make them come even harder afterwards if they come from the toy.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

At first, teasing didn’t even occur to Arthur. He was just content to explore his partner’s body with something akin to wide-eyed innocence. He didn’t even realize that by ogling them and running his hands all over them and caressing them nigh reverently, just how much those simple touches could get them worked up. When he notices how flustered he can make them, without even trying, a gleeful little smile tugs at his mouth, and suddenly, he just found his new favorite pastime.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Well, living with his mom for probably his whole life, Arthur’s learned to keep quiet. At most his breathing will get heavy and he’ll whimper and grunt quietly. With the space to be vocal however? Yeah, he’ll probably still be very quiet. It’s a hard habit to shake. Though, he’ll be confident enough to mutter dirty talk into his partner’s ears. It won’t be hot dirty talk; it’ll probably be kind of awkward and unsure, but he’s enjoying himself and that's what matters!

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

Ahh, this fancy dancer of a man. Arthur goes wild for a strip tease, especially to some soft old-timey music. Whether it’s him or his partner stripping, it’s guaranteed to get him very aroused regardless. He’s probably practiced strip teasing on his own, late at night in the living room after his mother’s gone to bed. He peels off his shirt and cardigan in time with the music of the old movie playing on TV in the corner, until he’s just in his briefs and bunched white socks. The whole time he can’t help but imagine the fawning reaction of his dream partner. Despite the inherent sexual nature of it, like everytime Arthur dances, there is a grace and flow to his movements that is just... beautiful. 

Also, after he finally starts fuckin’ for the first time, he watches tons of movies with dirty scenes in them and writes down in his notebook his favorite sexy lines and tips to himself. He’s dedicated to being as smooth a lover as all the most charming old timey actors.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

His dick is average in thickness and length, probably between 5 inches to 6 inches long (12-15 cm). He’s probably cut but has some very pretty veins and a prominent raphe. As for his balls, they’re probably delightfully average as well, not sagging but not particularly tight either.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

It’s probably all over the place. Touch-starved as Arthur is, he has a naturally high sex drive, but while on his medications, he struggles with both getting/maintaining an erection, and working up the arousal to want sex often. After he quits his medications though? Oh, boy. Yeah, that naturally high sex drive is itching at him stronger than ever. And with the mania setting in, he... fucks like an animal. His stamina is at an all-time high, so he can just keep going for hours and hours and hours. He’ll be crying with a smile on his face the whole time.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

He doesn’t. He doesn’t sleep at night most of the time anyway, ha. Instead, after sex, Arthur’s wide awake, half-shaking with the adrenaline of his recent orgasm. He stares at his partner trying to brand the image of them and everything he did with them into his brain so that he doesn’t forget a single second. He feels so good, that for the first time in... years? ―He’s not craving a cigarette just to feel a fleeting minute of happiness.

[terry-perry]

I can’t find this request anywhere so here it goes. (Btw I don’t know if you take requests for Arthur fleck anymore so really no big deal if you don’t) I need and Arthur fleck x reader on there period! I need it bad!!!!

Like with most things, Arthur will do a little overthinking of the situation

He's never been in a relationship long enough to deal with something like this

Mother has since been menopausal, and she took care of everything on her own for the most part when she was more lucid

But he'll definitely be there for you when the time comes

Chocolate? You got it!

Try to massage your cramps away? He'll definitely try

Tea? Absolutely!

Pads? Tampons? All of the above? No problem!

He's going to spoil you and make sure you're in the best state possible

NSFW DOWN BELOW - TW: DUBCON & DARK PERIOD KINK

The darker side of him feels there's a certain scent to you when it's your time of the month

He can't get enough of it

He gets a sick kick out of watching you writhe in pain when your cramps are especially rough

He watches you with morbid curiosity as you moan and groan while holding yourself

It's only for a moment before he switches back to a doting boyfriend and cuddles you

He would want to "taste" you during that time as well, especially when you're at your bloodiest

He asks you, but you're not for that

He leaves it alone then, until one night when you're knocked out from painkillers Arthur offered you

They were stronger than you thought, you realized as you were pretty much passed out the second your head hit the pillow

It's the perfect opportunity for him to come over and spoon you from behind and lay some soft kisses against the side of your face to put you more at ease

You sigh out in contentment, not being bothered enough by how his hand starts to fondle your breasts

His touches confused you slightly, knowing that he should know about the state you were in, but your senses were muddled once again when he massages your sides that have been aching with cramps earlier.

It all feels so good, and you're so delirious, that you hardly bat an eye when his hands go down between your legs

He hopes you don't remember any of this when you wake up

Though a part of him hopes you do

[yandereaffections]

A lady helps Arthur Fleck get his sign back and befriends him, which eventually turns into romance.

The whole time he stares at you, struggling to say anything within the weezing from his chest as you put all the gathered items you picked back up for him into arthur's arms, smiling through the silence and wishing him a good day. As your mind wanders while walking away you can hear the man you just helped struggle with putting down the sign before hearing him call out for your attention, honking his clown nose at you with a wide smile as a sort of thanks

Arthur's mind is filled with you the rest of the week, he is overwhelmingly delighted to have made a new friend and won't stop talking to you to his other clown coworkers. When he sees you passing on the street again the best clown act will be put on, smiling at you with direct eye contact like mad man until you pass by, to which he'll drop everything just to follow you and possibly get the confidence to even talk to the person he's been thinking about each second of the day

The more you let this man be apart of your life no matter the strange behaviors or laughing fits he'll begin digging his way deeper and deeper into every aspect of your world, you'll know a lot about him but certainly not nearly as much as he's figured out about you. By the way if you dare show another person way too much kindness for a friend or stranger Arthur would struggle against the idea of taking you and keeping you for himself, kidnapping or otherwise fills his mind so quickly, be careful.

Being best friends w/ Beau hc's

(I just feel like he needs one) gn reader

Warnings: none ig

(Also this is like before visiting his mother)

Here is part.2

Okay so first of all, ur friend ship started w/ just being nice to him,and going on ya'll became best buddies

This boy needs a hug. He is probably touch starved

Even talking w/ him ab your day would make him happy

Hes a lil ball of anxiety. So giving a little squeeze to his shoulder could make him focus more on reality

Little things like walking him home or helping him pay for stuff would make his day.

He is pretty much quiet so you need to say something most of the time (not that you mind). After a bit he will start talking more openly too

Sometimes he will start fearing more. He will fear for you too. 'What if they get into an accident?' Those times he will walk closer to you

Y/n:"Yesterday i almost got hit by a car" Beau:"YOU WHAT"

He probably doesn't drink coffee, so if you wanna treat him to a drink he will accept tea or water,he will also tries to pay you back :')

He will follow you around like a lost puppy

After a while he will start hugging you back and when meeting you he will greet you w/ open arms hoping you will give him a hug

He lets you check out his house. He will just stand at one place and thinks while ur looking around

He trusts you

He will also call you by ur nick name (if you use one)

K thats all

I know this is really random. I was just thinking he is too relatable. And he needs a friend that cares ab him. Arthur and him would make good friends too.Hes been through a lot.

[ajokeformur-ray]

If you hold him tight enough, you can squeeze the anger out of Arthur. Shaking, trembling, sharp inhales and flexed fists crumpling the material of his trousers, but hold him so tight and so long that he feels it drain out of him, his heart blooming with affection and those closed flowers in his heart opening up once more.

It's what he deserves.

[jokeringcutio]

For joker and Arthur, can you do love language headcanons please? What do you think theirs are? Thanks Mun!

AN: U vraagt, wij draaien. I actually had to look this up :3 Apparently, there are 5 love languages, and I think all five of them are important to him in one way or another. So here they are, ranked from ‘most needed’ to ‘just nice to do’. I received a lot of really nice prompts for Arthur/Joker so if this is your thing, be sure to follow me on this account to see more updates. Or check my masterlist every once in a while (I am in a European time zone and I notice many of my posts get snowed under because of the time I post them on. So, please feel free to check the masterlist at the top of my page. New posts are on top in their category).

Headcanons for Arthur/Joker Love Language

Physical Touch

Arthur has been deprived of affection. He is touch-starved and has always been a very physically focused man. Whenever in doubt about whether or not something is real or just something in his mind, he would touch himself or others to get a confirmation that this is actually happening.

Expect to be touched by him. A lot. Ranging from a gentle hand on the small of your back, guiding you as you walk with him, to arms being hooked or a hand roaming your back or chest when he holds you in an embrace.

He’ll expect something back, of course. Your hands on him, a hug whenever you can spare, your hand gently brushing hair out of his face or you cupping his cheeks. Are you sitting next to him on the couch? Then his arm will be around you and he’ll expect you to snuggle up and into him like there is no tomorrow. Are you on opposite chairs? Then you’ll feel his feet rest against yours or his hand placed on your knee.

He’s very touchy, especially with you. And when your relationship is established – and that will be much quicker than you might think  –  It will be solely with you. His touch is something reserved for those who are special to him.

And he expects the same from you. If he so much as sees you holding onto the arm of another, or you placing your hand encouragingly on someone else’s arm during a conversation, he’ll feel the disdain bitter on his tongue and the jealousy rises deep within his chest. As Arthur, the consequences will be found in nasty words and insults to those he spotted you with – whether they are friends or strangers, it doesn’t matter. He will cause an embarrassing scene and you will have to mediate and work on calming him down.

As Joker, he’ll be much cooler about it. Most of the time, he won’t even make a snide remark about it. But you’ll see it in his gaze. And once he has escorted you away from the scene and he has you somewhere safe, he’ll return to those you placed your hands on and make them regret they ever were born.

Words of Affirmation

He needs constant verbal feedback: Do you still like him? Do you still love him? Does he do a good job? Is he good to you? Are you still happy with him?

He’ll give the same back to you, telling you what he likes about you and how much he needs you in his life. He showers you with pet names and loves to rasp sultry fantasies in your ear. Because did you really think you could get away with being so darn sexy?

This type of love language is as important as touch. He needs to hear your voice so you can calm down the voices he hears in his own mind. He needs confirmation that you are really there, both when he is Arthur as well as when he turns into the Joker.

Gift Giving

This is more of a one-way kind of thing. You don’t need to give him anything. He is the one who showers you with presents – and you’d better accept them or you’ll hurt his feelings.

Quality Time

This is very important, but always on his terms.

Are you in need of him? If he’s off to work, either as Arthur or later on as Joker, then you have tough luck. He’ll be doing the job first, then return to you later, when he has the time.

But he'll expect your full undivided attention when he isn’t working or out causing chaos. And there is no excuse he will accept. He will not take a no. So don’t even try and go to that appointment with friends you made – he needs you right here and right now and he needs the affirmation that he is the most important person in your whole life. And if you do try and sneak away from him because you promised to hang out with a friend you haven’t seen in ages, for example, he’ll go after your friend instead.

He’ll make you see that he can’t be denied. In the end, you’ll get used to it and accept this part of him. Quality time is something important to him, but it is always according to his terms and fits his schedule. You’d better get used to it.

Acts of Service

This love language isn’t really applicable.

In a way, Arthur, even as the Joker, bestows you with little acts of service, while at the same time, he expects a lot of them in turn. He might do a thing or two to help you, but it’s not his way to show his love. His mind is too busy and, once he is the Joker, his life is too busy to be tasked with these trivial things.

You, on the other hand, he expects a lot of you. If you can cook, he expects you to do so with love. Call him old fashioned, but chores like cleaning the dishes or mowing the lawn do stir something inside of him. Some kind of dormant domestic feelings that he secretly enjoys. But this type of love language is by far the least applicable to him.

Arthur Fleck & The Joker Dating Headcanons

Word Count: 688

Status: Requested!

Ask: ✨ may I request dating hcs for Artie/Joker? ✨ 🏖 what’s it like going on dates with them and what activities are done? 🏖

@: a cute little anon!

Fandom: Joker 2019

Relationship(s): Arthur Fleck x Reader, The Joker x Reader

Warnings: insinuations of sexual activities, risky situations, illegal crimes and actions, fluff, Joker (he's his own warning)

Masterlist DC Universe Masterlist

Arthur Fleck:

Artie is a SUCKER for romantic! The whole deal and then some!

Spending lots of his time watching movies with his mother, especially romantic comedies and dramas, has taught him to be chivalrous, thoughtful, sensitive, and most of all, so kind and romantic!

For the first date, Artie is the simple suit and tie with a matching set of your favorite flowers in hand before taking you on a nice night out around the city and a candle-lit, cozy restaurant dinner. He tries the basics first and loves to hear you talk, so he just let you be comfortable in your own skin, get to know each other, and show each other what you enjoy to do with your free time in the city.

As the dates drone on and the relationship lasts longer than the first few honeymoon-phased dates, Artie still remains romantic, but he's more laid back and calm around you. He still considers what you enjoy and paves the dates to fit exactly that. You like the park, lets have a little picnic. You like the beach, we'll eat pizza on the pier and go swimming under the hot sun. You want to stay in your pajamas, we'll put on fluffy socks and order out while we watch our favorite movie.

He's simply the cutest man to exist and it means all the more to know that the littlest things are picked up and mentioned later. You could make a simple request or joke and you'll find it brought up in conversations; Arthur truly just wants to hear your thoughts on the topic or see that surprised recognition in your eyes.

For the general dating portion outside of dates, Arthur loves to just generally be around you. To lazy days on the couch to cute little walks around the pond.

He loves to hold your hand, no matter the place or what you're necessarily doing. Feeling your smaller hand in his makes him feel at home in a sense; it brings a sense of security and promise that you're still there when no one else is, putting at ease almost instantaneously.

He's very caring and he wants you to know you're loved. Always.

The Joker:

The Joker is also caring, but in a more extravagant and boastful way. When you go on dates, you need to feel that familiar thrumming in your chest, jolt of adrenaline, and a fear of the unknown outcome. He wants you to feel free to break out of your shell and show the world how grand you truly are.

There really wasn't much of a first date and more of a publicity stunt-turned-make-out session and common occurrence. You see, you either know the Joker through Arthur's alter ego or the insane legend that killed infamous Murray Franklin.

Your first encounter was the huge breakout on the streets where you'd ran into him just as he was on his way out of the party, running away from the cops. He'd tried to hijack your motorcycle, in which you fought over, but slipped on behind him; somehow coaxing you on 'the ride of your life with a real life celebrity.'

You'd met him more frequently as crime increased, always finding yourself stuck in the mix petitioning or throwing shit at cops. You caught his eye, how could you not, and continued to seek you in crowds. He would claim he needed a ride out and you always ended with speeding down the high way with police riding your tails.

After those sort of encounters and becoming more than acquaintances, you bask in other thrill-seeking activities like skinny dipping at night along the beach (and of course, indulging in the privacy), hijacking cars you can't afford and driving them off buildings/cliffs, but never anything of the formal type.

If he gets desperate and runs out of ideas for the time being, you'd even just go to the carnival or amusement park just for the thrill.

Just know, getting into a relationship with the Joker is never a dull moment and the sex is wild!

[daincrediblegg]

Hello! Are you still taking x reader headcanon requests? Love your writing btw :)

Hi Nonnie!

Yes! Though I haven't done a whole lot of writing in a few months I think I'm feeling like I'm in a good place to take headcanon requests again! At the moment, I'll happily take requests for:

Father Paul (Midnight Mass) Morpheus (The Sandman) Obi-Wan Kenobi (Star Wars/ Kenobi Series) Arthur Fleck (Joker) Dan Torrance (Doctor Sleep) Max Brinly (The Quarry)

And for some of these (namely Father Paul and Arthur Fleck) I do have a few old requests that I might try to dig through my ask box to get to. So stay tuned!

SFW Alphabet for Arthur Fleck

The smut alphabet took a day to write and this took two weeks. If only every wip was as easy as ones with smut. 

Words: 4500+ 

(I got carried away a bit, as you can tell.)

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

At first, Arthur is almost un-ffectionate. Y’see, he doesn’t really know... how to be? It’s easy to daydream about swappin spit with his partner, but little intimacies almost feel forbidden. Having anyone who’ll actually let him touch them, and not accuse him of being a creep for it, is untread ground for him. In his daydreams he’s all over you. In actuality, it takes a while for him to work up the courage to give you little affections. Specifically, physical touch, which has always been his favorite. A hand on the small of your back, arms wrapping around you from behind, his hand bashfully holding yours. All things he yearns for but always feel like he’s overstepping if he tries. And when he tries he’s just... so awkward about it that it’s plain endearing. With a little guidance he’ll get the hang of little physical affections in time.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

Even as just a best friend, Arthur has a massive, burning crush on you. He can’t help it. Even friendly affection―a pat on the back, a hug, ruffling of his hair―will make his heart flop in his chest. Or is that just his meds?

In general, as a friend he won’t be much different than how he’d be as a boyfriend. He’ll bum smokes with you, vent and commiserate on his shit day, field some of his new jokes with you. He genuinely feels more comfortable truly expressing his anger and negative thoughts to you than with his therapist. Though, as he does have a crush... you’ll also catch him staring sometimes. And you’ll oh so coincidentally bump into each other sometimes, when you’re out in public. Maybe even once you’ll find a letter lain on your doorstep, in messy misspelled handwriting, professing deep (and maybe even just a tad creepy) affection for you. Those letters are never signed, though if you already know Artie’s handwriting, it won’t be difficult to figure out who sent them. <3 

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Please cuddle this man. Arthur is so touch-starved that if his partner were to cuddle him, after he gets past the shellshock, he will hesitantly latch onto them and not let go for hours. At first, he worries he’s bothering them by being so clingy, but the affection just feels so warm and loving that he quickly lets go of his worries and just basks in it. <3 A dopey loving smile will be glued onto his face the rest of the whole day. 

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

He’s certainly not the next Marie Kondo or Gordon Ramsey, but he does a pretty decent job of domestic duties when he has the energy for it. He had to learn to be good at it for his mom. When he cooks for himself, he’ll default to shitty microwave dinners, canned soup, or cereal. But when he’s in good spirits and his meds aren’t nuking his appetite, he’ll actually scrounge together something edible. Scrambled eggs, steamed vegetables, mac n cheese... Okay so they’re nothin fancy. But hey, Arthur doesn’t mind. If Murray Franklin ever has a cooking segment on his show, Arthur will dutifully study it, like the good pupil he is.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

Before he goes off his meds and has his breakdown, I don’t think Arthur would... ever break up with his partner. Even if they treat him like shit. :( Between his romanticism, and his desperately aching loneliness, he’s just happy to have any partner at all and will do anything to make it work. 

I’ve been debating with myself for a long while on whether he would consider breaking up during/after his transformation into Joker, and I... I still don’t think he would. He can’t let you go... You’re all he has left to live for. 

F = Fiancé(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

Arthur’s never really thought about marriage, or dating long-term. It’s not that he doesn’t want to, he has just never ever thought he would have a relationship in the first place, much less marriage. He’s gobsmacked when he realizes he’s been dating his partner long enough for that to be an option. 

...I’m not sure if he’d ever genuinely want to. When he’s merely dating, things are good! They’re nice. He has an arrangement with his partner, and it works great, so why would he want to change? :) And all he ever sees of marriage out in the media and the real world are wives complaining that their husbands are slobs, and husbands comparing their wives to a jail sentence. Is that what all marriage is like? He doesn’t ever want to think of his partner like a ball and chain. Not when they mean the world to him.

Plus, all the unknowns! Arthur worries about it all. Would they have to come live with him and his mom? He doesn’t even have his own bedroom; that wouldn’t work. Would he have to move in with them and leave his mom to struggle to care for herself? He’d have to hire a carer in that case... He can’t afford that. Every time his anxieties about it crop up, he just shoves it to the back of his brain and pops a pill from one of his anxiety meds. It’s something to worry about another day. In the meantime, he just wants to enjoy his time with them.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

Arthur is so achingly sweet and gentle. He loves his partner so, so much; he would never do anything to hurt them or make them upset. If he did he would feel incredibly guilty, and is even more avoidant than normal for a while. Even when he’s just exhausted and venting about his struggles and worst thoughts, he’ll stay soft-spoken as ever. Of course, when he’s aroused, this all changes. Romantic lovemaking is all well and good but he can never resist throwing gentleness to the side in favor of roughness, fucking with hunger and desperation and all things primal. ...And I made it horny. Oops.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

Ow. My heart hurts writing this one. You know when Arthur daydreams of being on The Murray Franklin Show, and how loving and warm and happy his face is when Murray hugs him and calls him a son? Yyyyeah. That. 

The first time his partner hugs him, he’s kinda stunned frozen. Arthur genuinely can’t remember the last time he was hugged. Ever. Even from his mom. So when arms wrap him and hold him tightly with more love than he’s felt in probably his whole life... I don’t think he knows how to handle it. Either his condition triggers or he just squirms out of their grip and leaves, muttering something they can’t make out. Maybe both. He spends the whole rest of the night dismayed and ashamed of himself for reacting like that. A lot more pages in his journal are filled out that night. 

The next day as soon as he’s able, he’s on their doorstep, hurriedly knocking on their door, shaking with nerves. And when they open the door, his mouth is on theirs aaaand he’s making out. Horny animal. When he can manage to get his tongue out of their throat, and presses his forehead against theirs, he murmurs in a voice far too small and nervous for how he was just ravishing them, “Can you do that again? What you did yesterday?”

Hug him. He needs it. Arthur will never ask for a hug again, but he desperately, desperately hopes they’ll give him one again and again and again. And every time he practically melts in their arms with a finally truly happy smile on his face.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

So fast that it probably embarrasses him. It probably isn’t even later than his third date, when he says something that makes his partner light up and brings out that beautiful laugh that he adores. He can’t help it. Arthur just blurts, “I love you,” without even realizing it. He has the sweetest little smile on his face too. Immediately however he withdraws into himself, turning away, running his hands down his face. He swears to himself and apologizes to them profusely. The tips of his ears even go red with embarrassment. Unless his partner says it back, he won’t be able to look them in the eye the rest of the night. Please say it back. :( He needs to hear it.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

Holy fuck does he get jealous. Arthur tries very hard not to scare his partner off by being too insecure and clingy, but if he sees his partner so much as enthusiastically talking to someone attractive, he gets really in his own head about it. 

He follows you. He follows the one who made him jealous, if he can. Do the two of you meet? Do they make you laugh as much as he does? He needs to know.; he has to know. It's a bitter ugly feeling he doesn’t like, being so anxious that you’re betraying him. But he can’t help it. He takes a little more of his anxiety meds than he was prescribed for, for a few days.

And in those days, Arthur’s either completely withdrawn from you, or all over you, no in between. At times he won’t say much of anything to you, though he smiles, and then 5 minutes later he’ll be pressing you against a wall with his tongue in your throat and leaving possessive marks all over you. He’ll only crack about what’s causing his weird behavior after he’s fucked you hard enough to remind you of who loves you the most, and when he’s hypomanic from the afterglow.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

The first few kisses with Arthur are soft, they’re chaste, they’re gentle. He tries so, so hard to restrain himself and keep it sweet but... he can’t help himself for long. Art wants nothing more than to make out with his partner for hours. To kiss them deeply and carnally, with no gentleness or romance behind it, just pure hunger and lust and tongue. He craves to kiss them until they’re breathless, until he is too. 

His favorite place to kiss will always be their mouth but like following a roadmap, every time his kisses will trail... Onto their cheeks, their jawline up to their ear, their collarbones, until he reaches their pulse in their neck and leaves a dark hickey there possessively. 

Arthur will never explicitly ask to be kissed anywhere, but he just melts if he’s ever kissed on that big ole forehead of his. His eyes flutter closed and he just looks more content than you’ve ever seen him.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

No surprise here, Arthur is amazing with kids. Ones with a sense of humor at least. As we all know, he’ll do anything to make a kiddo smile and laugh. Funny faces, gag props, balloon animals when he has his air pump on him. The works. 

I want to put here how he would be around his own kids, but I can’t even fathom it, really. How he’d be as a dad. I think he’d swing between being: anxious that he’ll fuck up; terrified that the kid will be fucked up cuz of him; constantly shaking and craving a cigarette, since he probably quits just for the kid; and just generally trying so, so hard to give them the loving childhood he never had, always making them smile and laugh. 

...You know what, I think he’d make a very good stay at home dad actually. He’s malewife shaped, after all. And very very caring. Let him take care of his little bundle of joy while his partner brings home the fucking bacon every night. He always wanted to make a whole audience of people laugh, but maybe just an audience of two is more than enough, in the end...

Also, I am swooning over the thought of Arthur trying to teach his kid how to dance. Their little hands in his, giggling with joy, and standing on Arthur’s feet while he sweeps them around and shows ‘em the steps. He’d be delighted.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

Most important things first: every morning Arthur wakes up wrapped around you like an octopus, all bony limbs and cold skin, craving your warmth like you were the last log to heat the hearth of his heart. When the alarm inevitably blares, he groans and grumbles into your neck. He dreads leaving the loving refuge of your sleepy embrace to face the world's daily jabs and cruelties. Until you needle him into waking up and facing the day, he might not ever leave the bed. During his favorite mornings, when it's just the two of you cooking breakfast together, (after he's had his mandatory morning coffee ofc), he'll turn on his favorite radio station of jazzy old tunes and dance with you, spinning you around the kitchen until you two get so distracted that Arthur almost misses the bus he needs to get to work on time. But on those days, he thinks to himself that not even the sun can rival the radiance of your smile.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

Nights with Arthur are quiet affairs. By the end of the day, he’s exhausted from the long commute and slipped into a quiet depression from the daily cruelties the world enacts upon him. When he gets home from work, he kisses you gently, lacking any of his usual hunger, asks how your day went, and sets about with his nightly routine. He won’t respond much, though he’ll give you a tired smile and close his eyes while he listens to you ramble about your day. 

After he’s fresh out of the bath, feeling something akin to a person again, he’ll set to work cobbling together dinner for the two of you. No matter how much you try to shoo him out of the kitchen and let yourself take care of this tired man, he will resist. Arthur needs to be needed. He wants to do these things for you, so he can feel like he’s properly earning your love. With a roll of his eyes and a quiet laugh he will inevitably shepherd you out of the kitchen. And you succumb, every time. It’s just too hard to resist those big eyes of his. When the newest episode of Live With Murray Franklin begins, the two of you will always cuddle on the couch with dinner in hand and watch it together. Maybe even turning on a movie afterwards... that more often than not gets abandoned in favor of tired lovemaking right there on the couch.

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

On the surface, Arthur tells plenty about himself, even on the first date. He’s a party clown, he yearns to be a stand-up comedian, he takes good care of his mother, all the things that make him sound rosy and sweet. He’s trying hard to impress you. 

But while he’ll vent about his day at your insistence, maybe even divulge some of his negative thoughts... he won’t open up about his demons much more than that. Not his stay in Arkham’s psych ward, not his childhood, not the poisonous whispers in his brain that often tell him he should just end it all... Arthur knows sharing any of that will just scare you off. To him, surely you’d never want him if you knew how messed up he really is. In time, with patience and a lot of trust however, he might be able to really open up about himself. But the man certainly won’t make it easy for you.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

In general, well, you know Arthur. Just a powder keg of rage issues hidden behind a pained happy face. But it’ll take a lot to make him snap at his partner, in particular. Little slights here and there, he won’t even mention anything about it, swallowing his anxiety and frustration. 

But if his partner does something terrible to him, like cheating? Or lying about something big? He, uh, he won’t stop laughing for hours. Arthur won’t immediately lash out at them but he’ll storm away and stumble around the city or back to his apartment, laughing torturously all the while. :( 

After he’s off his meds, killed his mom, and is right in that in-between period before he truly becomes Joker? No anger here, no siree. Arthur takes everything in stride. If his partner does something he doesn’t like, his eye will twitch, a smile lights up his face. He presses a kiss to their forehead, saying lovingly that he knows they didn’t mean to piss him off. And then as if nothing had ever happened, he just breezes back to what he was doing before. It’s downright eerie, really.

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

Arthur remembers... everything. Like a thirsty plant soaking in a few drops of water, with every droplet that his partner gives him about themself, he’ll absorb it into his very core. Over and over again in his head, will he think about every detail of you, until there’s no way he can ever forget. It’s almost a little unnerving how he’ll remember even the most offhand comment. Arthur being Arthur though, it’s charming in its own right. Sometimes he’ll misremember, however. He hallucinates his partner more often than he’d care to admit, and once in a while he’ll mix up something they actually said with something the one who lives in his head said. 

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

The first time they laugh at one of his jokes. Like really, truly laugh. All he’s ever wanted is to be seen, and to make people happy with his comedy. But for as long as he can remember, no one’s ever laughed at his jokes. Arthur’s jokes anyway. Carnival gets plenty of laughs. So when his partner’s face lights up for the first time, and even every time after that, and he hears how delighted they are by him...? He thinks it's the best day of his life. A shy, joyed smile lights up his own face. For the rest of the night, and in times when he wonders if he’s even real, he keeps that moment close to his heart and replays it over and over again in his head. He’s infatuated beyond belief.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

In all his wildest daydreams, Arthur will fantasize of being your knight in shining armor. He would valiantly protect you and if anyone were to even dare to lay a finger on you, he'd break their wrist. But eventually reality strikes him again. He's meek, and anxious, and weak. He thinks he can't protect you, no matter how strongly he craves to. It's one thing if strangers abuse him himself, but if he notices the cruel city of Gotham abusing his partner? It’ll piss him off enough to make him swallow his anxiety and stand up for you in whatever way he can!. But... More often than he wishes, intervening will only go south for him one way or another, whether that be a laughing fit or a beatdown. :(

If you try to protect him though? Aha. Ha. He feels like such a joke. His mother raised him to be a gentleman! Arthur thinks that as a gentleman, he should be the one protecting you, not the other way around. A laughing fit will force itself out of him. It’s pained and suffocating and won’t stop until you crush him close to you in an embrace and he buries his face in your shoulder, if only to hide his tears.

And of course, after he's become Joker, well, that's when he has all the confidence to make his chivalrous dreams a reality, with his .38 in hand. You're the only thing he has left to live for in this shitty, broken world. So if he catches someone daring to lay a hand on you, he’ll make sure they can never hurt you ever again. <3

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

Most of the time Arthur’s deep in the clutches of a depressive episode, so he doesn’t often have the energy to sweep you off your feet, so to speak. But he tries where he can! Dressing up nicely for dates, dancing with you, buying (or stealing maybe...? maybe.) little trinkets from the corner bodega that remind him of you, and of course presenting you with his favorite wand-turned-bouquet of flowers. He feels bad sometimes he can’t be more romantic. But as long as he can get a smile on your face, that’s enough for him.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

The cigarettes, for one. He’s not often a pack a day kinda guy, but he certainly goes through a pack faster than he’d care to admit. But if his partner isn’t comfortable with them, he’ll use all of his self-control to not smoke around them. You’ll always be able to tell when he’s struggling when his leg bounces hard enough to shake his whole body. If you let him excuse himself to go outside and light one up quick, just so he can satiate the damned cravings, he’ll be beyond grateful.  

Arthur might even tell them he’s trying to stop entirely...! Sadly, this is a lie though. He tries, he really does... But sometimes a cigarette or ten is the only thing getting him through the day, even with an angel in his life such as his partner. He grows ashamed of how often he’ll light one up when it’s late at night, after his mom has gone to bed, and all his most darkest thoughts plague him anew. 

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

Arthur has never cared much about how he looks. On the average day, he’ll put the bare minimum into his appearance. Except for his hair. He always takes good care of that flowing hair of his. Though when he’s got a heavy date, he tries his best to make himself look nice and respectable, as much as possible. :) He wants to impress you!

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

There hasn’t been a moment in Arthur’s life where he hasn’t felt incomplete. Even with a partner, I don’t know if he’d ever really feel whole... Not until his transformation at least. 

But having a partner fills a cavern in his heart that he never realized could be filled. He actually feels real, feels like a person, when they look at him with eyes that shine with love brighter than any burning Gotham sun. Every time, they’re not around, he misses them. Their warmth, their embrace, their sweet words. Sometimes to the point of hallucinating them, when he needs them most. Arthur always yearns for the next time he can see them again. Even just the thought keeps him going in his darkest moments.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

There is little Arthur loves more than dancing with his partner. Even if they have two left feet, he doesn’t care. There is music in his soul and it sings every time he gets to hold you close and dance the night away. He’ll sway you to and fro, dip you for a kiss even, a beautiful smile on his face the whole time. The laugh lines around his eyes crinkle up and he looks lighter than air. Sometimes a soft Sinatra tune croons in the background, or the strings of Moonlight Serenade fill the air, but it doesn’t really matter to Arthur. The only music he needs in the end is the melody of his partner’s beautiful laugh as he gently spins' em around the room. <3

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

Hmmm. Just meanness in general, I think. It’s one thing if his partner is mean to themselves, Arthur more than understands the feeling. But if they’re mean to other people? If they’re just as awful as everyone else in this crazy fucked up world? It’ll make a frown tug at his face. And if you’re cruel enough, it might send him into a laughing fit. 

Also, just a random thing he dislikes? He’s never liked being restrained, in any capacity. It makes something deep in his brain hurt, nausea waves over him, and might trigger his condition, though he has no idea why...

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)

Arthur has painfully bad insomnia. Half from his smoking habit, half from his brain constantly feeling so scattered, that he can’t calm it for even a minute fall into sleep. At night when his only company is an ashtray and the tv, his thoughts grow a lot darker. Even after he pops his insomnia medication, he knows it’ll still be an hour or two before he can manage to sleep. It’s then that he most often scribbles in his journal, and chain smokes until he passes out. It’s not so bad though. His insomnia used to be so bad he’d go days without sleeping.

Having a partner to sleep with, Arthur’s insomnia doesn’t disappear but he certainly doesn’t struggle with it quite so badly. He’ll still be largely dependent on his insomnia meds. But when you pull him away from his journal and into bed, arms wrapped warmly around him, it’s easier to let sleep take him. As he gets increasingly incomprehensible and drowsy from the meds, he starts mumbling whatever strange thoughts are on his mind. You never understand most of it but that’s okay. Arthur never feels as safe as when you’re holding him close and running your hands through his hair, until one of you falls asleep first.

If you fall asleep before him, Arthur will eventually notice and his mumbling will trail off. He’ll just... watch you. He’ll study you, as if you were his favorite movie, and focus on the sound of their breathing, until it all drowns out the poisonous thoughts of his mind. His eyes will drift closed and he succumbs to sleep with a smile on his face. And his sleep is wonderfully dreamless.

When to bring out The Search...

Arthur is with his new Harley. They leave public messages for you {well, she does} on live television. Stating how much better he is now that he's with her. You never see him, so you can't make an assumption.

One day a public video comes out making their relationship official, and you watch her kiss him. He doesn't seem too pleased about it.

Filled with rage, you make your own video...
