Hello same guy who sent the Pierrot MC imagine (πͺΆ anon), I made a concept of my version of the MC plus the Pierrot design.
(My guyβs named August which makes the fact that the Batfam canβt remember their birthday even stupider because their name is their birth month)
This Pierrot is a bit more modern with his suspenders so he could somewhat match the Jokerβs fancy aesthetic. Joker also gave my boy a slick backed mullet of all things, which may be his gravest sin yet.
Heβs also covered in bells because in combination with his soft, quiet shoes and his lack of ability to talk he has accidentally snuck up on the Joker one too many timesβ it may make it so people notice him but frankly bells ringing in a dark ally in Gotham sounds terrifying, especially once it becomes known that when you hear the bells you know that the Pierrot and the Joker arenβt far.
Do you have any ideas for drawings about again & again, Iβve been looking for more ideas because your fic gave me lots of motivation.
okay, first of all, i absolutely adore your username. my siamese cat's name is casper and i love him a lot so you're not an automatic favorite of mine. second, "joker gave my boy a slicked back mullet of all things, which may be his gravest sin yet." that made me laugh a lot. third, i'd like to thank you for submitting this fanart. i actually fawned over this a lot that i keep forgetting to answer your ask because i was gatekeeping this design. so oh my god i'm eating so well this month π₯Ή
now, the fact that they're named after a month and bruce and the others still couldn't remember your name fucked me up. it's like being named val and yet the family wouldn't even know your birthday is during valentine's day. but it just makes things even sadder, since they have no excuse forgetting you, you've got such a "generic" name that's not hard to mess up, and yet they did. do you know just how much it sums up just how much they care for you? the answer is a record breaking zero. bruce, as your father, has already gotten an easy assignment and yet he still didn't even think of answering it.
but even the joker remembers, he pokes fun at you for that, but a fucking villain remembers.
i absolutely adore the design for "pierrot"/reader ! in your normal clothes you're already wearing baggy, comfortable clothing (presumably one that hides all your past scars), so kudos to joker for not forcing you to wear revealing such clothes, i guess?
and lore-wise (not revealing much details), your lack of presence really does give an advantage shall you ever entertain the thought of becoming a villain. not much actively look for you, but if they do, they wouldn't realize just how close you actually loom. and if you being dressed in all white, in white face paint, and puffy costume makes you stand outβ you think wrong. somehow, you still could disappear into the shadows, with only the echoes of bells bouncing between walls. it's ominous, obscured, and would send shivers across any normal person's spines becauseβ only batman and his partners could do that. what do you mean one of joker's lackeys, no, his sidekick, could do the same disappearing trick with all the heavy fabric and ringing bells accompanying them?
not only that, but their make-up stands out, every single thing about them screams, "notice me," but you still blend in with the shadows. even eyewitnesses themselves state that the joker would often scold you for being too silentβ to crack a joke at least, not scare the living daylights out of your victims for appearing to close behind their back. it ruins all the fun and immersion, you know?!
after all, all the descriptions i gave about the reader pertaining to sound often denotes your quiet footsteps in the hallways and your barely "audible" voice, no matter how much you attempt to raise it. the fact that the joker has to attach bells on you from the amount of times you probably creeped him out is an amusing imagery though. but it may also act as some sort of leashβ a way for the joker to ensure you don't stray too far from him and cause trouble on your own. you know what they say: twice the trouble, twice the fun.
and i can imagine just how the batfamily would react to a new villain accompanying joker in tow. one who's footsteps resembled the soft thumping they hear in the manor's halls that disappeared all too suddenly, drowned by the sound of clinking bells. one who willingly acts out whatever order the joker throws your way, done with a flat, nearly deadpanned expression... bruce, as batman, trying to talk you out of the job because you never actively harmed people, only for the jester to look him dead in the eyes and say you are loyal to joker and joker only.
the family believing you to be brainwashed, at least, but then whenever you do a great job β whether it's blowing up an abandoned building or tying up civilians β the joker would praise you with a loud cackle and they could see the dim light in your eyes slowly flicker brighter, while you ask joker if you're doing enough. to which the clown would reply with nothing but praises for his second-in-command... ouch.
if they do discover your true identity, it's going to be a hard punch in bruce's gut. now that i think about it, i might just write a oneshot about "pierrot" hehe.
as for anymore future drawings... i mean, i'm willing to hit up your inbox/messages to give you ideas pookie. as long as you want to draw for my series too, because it's such a huge honor for me to receive fanart π₯Ή
