How would Jester treat a human romantic lover rather than a monster one like him? Is there a difference? I’m having a little of a hard time imagining it while I’m writing.
For one---a human lover? Fuck...good luck with that. It would take a goddamn SAGA for him to ''''love'''' a human. Best bet, being his 'pet' or his private, willing, fool. Otherwise, he will simultaneously be constantly overpowering you, making sure you KNOW your place, while also.....wary of you.
Yes, you read that right.
He's a bit afraid.....as you are human....Are you physically weaker? Sure. But, you can cause more damage than a lit match near gasoline if you so choose--Jester's accustomed to this danger through lived experiences alone. So the circus leader would have a hard time seeing a human as an 'equal'. It's significantly easier for him, and calms his heart somewhat, if you're just a nice 'thing' beneath his thumb; where humans are meant to be.
MEANWHILE---a monster OC???
Truthfully, the biggest obstacle here is that Jester is used to taking care of his family as is. He is NOT actively looking for new members (esp. given their shared history). Your monster OC would FIRST have to have a REASON for being there (perhaps they have a useful ability that makes it easier to run the circus, etc.) and, most importantly, this monster OC has to CARE about the REST of the family as well. Yes, this includes Harlequin.
If your monster OC can manage that, then they might be able to sleep with him on occasion---if the OC is fine never being the top, that is. Jester never bottoms.
Additionally, Jester isn't ''''looking'''' for love---whether he romances a human or monster---so it would have to spawn naturally; an emotion that blooms from how much he ends up valuing your OC's opinion, company, and how the circus needs them around (for one reason or another).
This OC has to put the FAMILY first to make him see you.
But yes TLDR;....a monster OC has a wayyyy better chance of being with Jester because he would be more comfortable with his own kind rather than a human. It helps not having to look over his shoulder to make sure a 'little human' isn't setting the tents on fire or calling for hel-. A monster OC wouldn't do this, if anything, they'd completely get Jester's POV and just start talking to him....as an equal <3
Jester would treat a monster OC as a lover/companion, while a human like a dangerous yet exotic pet (At best). Basically.
