can’t. can’t. can’t. normally, those very words would easily be ignored, or even taken as a DARE. but there was something about this particular instance that instead had him stopping in his tracks to look over at the other male, confusion mixing together with the already present madness in pale green hues. “ i can’t?!” he repeats, with an over-dramatized surprise filling his voice. regardless of whether it was a dare or a plea or anything else, it didn’t really matter. but… he supposed he could spare a moment to at least hear what the other had to say.
concern washed over his face . breathing quickened . panic . arms outstretched , palms forward in a defensive stance . that man was his friend . someone he cared about . they slept on benches quite near to each other every night . both often struggled to sleep . they had long conversations which usually helped calm each other’s nerves . he hadn’t done anything wrong . he hadn’t done anything to warrant this . all he had been doing was minding his own business . “ just ... just leave him alone ” slow , cautious steps forward . being sure to not make any sudden movements which could cause the other to lash out .

she glares , quietely judging as her grimaced his . she didn’t like this motherfucka’ one bit. ❝ are you gonna say something ? do anything ? what’s happenin’ , Joka’ ? ❞
a grin forms now . flashing crooked teeth , stained with red greasepaint . “ say something? do something? ” was promptly repeated , leaning his body forward to come face to face with her “ and why would i do that ? ”

Her face blanks for a second. Did— Did he just compliment her? Jeannie sits back a bit in her seat, putting down the coffee cup she had in hand. This diner wasn’t big, and not many people were here. So, this wasn’t some trick. She looks back up to him, ❝ Yeah? ❞ She couldn’t really form a good comeback—
a short snicker , leaning forward to put out his cigarette before returning his gaze to her . prompt . clearly his focus was primarily on her . almost as though even that split second was too long . “ yeah - i would of thought you heard that quite often ”

glancing over at him . a slight smirk with brows furrowing . he knows full well what he was up to . giving a tilt of his head as he signs to him ( if you want help with your homework , all you have to do is ask )
@smiledarn liked for a starter
“Daddy!”Jack signed with a big smile on his face. He wanted to make sure he looked innocent enough. Math is boring, so hopefully his dad will just give him the answers if he looks sweet enough, “What’s 13 minus 7?”

‘ Why do you need this? —— if someone catches you... using that ‘ /// hacker boi
a short huff . grasping onto the device tight . quickly shoving it into his coat , eyes shifting nervously . CAUTIOUS . quick glances for spotting any prying gazes . “ that’s not something you have to worry about ” his part of the deal was fulfilled . he had no need for any , once just , anxiety to over stay it’s welcome . “ from here on , this concerns only me ..... and the waynes - ” they had crossed a line . a retaliation against the frequent protests . a month prior , thomas wayne had organized the arrest of a majority of protesters , leaving a small handful , including arthur joker , as the only few left . THEY HAD CROSSED A LINE . joker wasn’t going to hold back anymore , and this device was exactly what he needed . the waynes had a rather tight security system , but it was nothing this couldn’t bypass . he was going to deal with this himself . if anything was going to improve for his followers thomas wayne needed to be removed from the picture .

[ CLOWNS ALSO SCARE ] a hell - ton of the world’s population for doing their job —– HE MUST BE GOOD . “ so y’got a clown name or somethin’ ?? BOZO … — or KRUSTY ?? ”
a deep sigh . exasperated . he didn’t have time for this crap . he was on his way to a gig . the first gig he’d gotten hired for in months . he needed the money and he couldn’t get caught up like this . “ i’m actually kind of in a rush ”

She looks over, giving a few blinks before she decides to open her mouth to say anything,
❝ Who? Who said what? ❞ Granted, there’s a rather confused look set upon her features now. She was a nobody. Who would be saying anything about her?
lowering his cigarette , blowing smoke . his gaze casts back to her . brows raising as a slight smirk appears , unable to hold it back any longer . “ oh , nothing - reallly , i was just saying how pretty you are ”

' did they paint you in party city ? ' / commodus, stop rn
a low grumble . a moment of pause as he allows the regret to sink in . he’d been to party city many times during his life . in the past , it had become a major part of being able to do his job . having worked as a clown meant party city was a regular destination for arthur . but it was now a symbol for who he used to be . to joker , it was a reminder of his past weakness . it was for this reason that he now found himself to be straining to hold himself back from attacking the other . his grip on his cigarette growing tighter , subconciously .
but soon with a roll of his eyes , he leans forward and presses the end of the cigarette onto the back of the other’s hand , with intention to burn him . he found it silly he’d even been holding himself back in the first place . he’d forgotten himself for a brief moment . a flicker of .. restraint .

arthur had a rather turbulent childhood . being raised by an overbearing , controlling mother and a rarely present father , emotional issues were bound to follow suit . never being allowed to make his own decisions or do anything at all that he pleases , a resentment for himself began to develop . he hated himself for not being able to stand up to his mother . he hated himself for not being able to stand up to anyone . for the majority of his childhood , he kept his negative emotions sealed away inside . this lead to an issue with anger in the future . arthur always tried to keep his cool , before joker he would have never dreamed of hurting anyone . even when he got angry . despite this , his anger was explosive . sudden and unpredictable . but he often substituted yelling for violent . any violence that were to happen would be taken out on the objects around him . never a person .
young arthur - joaquin phoenix
as arthur went through school , he realized he had a passion for entertaining people . making people happy . he also developed a need to prove himself . to become something that would be worth his parents pride . but their family was already poor , and when arthur got old enough to be looking for a job , he couldn’t find anywhere , his parents would consider , decent that would hire him . as a result , he went back to what he enjoyed doing . he decided that his own enjoyment was worth more than anything that would pay well . much to his mother’s disappointment , he became a clown . one available to hire . but as he would soon learn , it was difficult to get bookings and this caused much friction within the clown community in gotham . even arthur himself had had his fair share of fight’s with other clowns because of one had gotten a booking and another hadn’t .
arthur’s mother - frances conroy
because she lived in poverty her whole life , arthur’s mother had grown delusional as a way to cope with the fact that her son was now living the same way . she had forced herself to believe he was well - off . to believe arthur had a job that brought in good pay . to believe her son was no longer living in poverty . but in reality , he was a clown who struggled to find work as well as a place to stay . with a majority of his night’s being spent sleeping in the subway station . either on trains or benches . he lived each day as it came , and soon he grew a friendship with those he met along the way . as well as a genuine sense of caring for them . he wanted to do right by them . he wanted to do right by his mother . but the condition he was living in was only worsening the state of his mental health .
arthur sleeping on a subway train
arthur wanted to do something good . he wanted to help the people around him , the people like him . the people who were suffering just because money was an issue for them . this was why he became joker . he organized riots to stand up against the rich . to make a change . to make a difference . joker was a symbol for good in the beginning . but that rapidly changed as his following grew larger and larger . as people began to recognize him in his every day attire , not as joker . the attention got to his head . the gap between arthur and joker grew larger and more distant . he began to lose himself . he began to change . he became more joker than arthur .

arthur had developed a range of severe anger issues from a very young age , due to a variety of reasons . with this came a lack of self control and self worth , followed suit by a willingness to harm others . living his life in poverty , constantly being crushed and beaten down by ‘the big man’ was what ultimately drove arthur to pursue his joker persona . a figure for the minority . initially a symbol for standing up to the rich . joker , at first , was a positive thing for a large group of people in gotham . which , now , may be the reason he still has so many followers . but his mental state did only worsened as a result following this .
arthur never disappeared . he never lost his memories or became a totally different person . he was always arthur fleck . joker was merely a job to arthur . a protest . a performance . a performance which got rapidly out of hand . but of course , arthur held no care nor remorse for the chaos and pain he was now causing the city . by this point , his sense of worth for himself and other’s had completely depleted . becoming non existent .
unlike other versions of the joker , the public know arthur fleck is the joker. they recognize him out of his make up and suit . his identity isn’t a mystery . not to himself , and not to other’s .
watch this clip for an idea of what i mean , though i already had this headcanon prior to the release of this clip .

“ I understand what it’s like to be different. ”
snarl escaped him . palms pressed together , but soon fingers clamp together . body language projecting frustration . statements like that just got his blood boiling . brows furrowing as teeth flare . “ sure . ” was spoken simply , a sense that he wanted this conversation to be over .

“ you’re so weak. ”
WEAK . the word caused his fists to clench , nails pressed into sweaty palms . tension seeping through him . what had they said ? count to ten ? deep breaths ? suddenly now that the anger was shooting through his veins , he had forgotten all of the “tips” he’d been given to deal with it . even so , just as he was beginning to remember , he already found himself throwing a punch .
