Jester: “I don’t like being touched”
Acts as though what happened in the past with the old ringmaster never happened
And yet has nightmares about it
(Additionally this mirror in TT’s tent)
Also is one of the members who hates humans the most
In MY opinion something happened to him DIRECTLY (and I don’t just mean the abuse he suffered with the rest of them)
I think that ringmaster DEFINITELY touched him or something like that, which is why he just blocks it all out…
EDIT
On top of all that, Jester hates nicknames right? Despises them in fact, and when you try and put your name as “Jester” he tells you “There is only one Jester. We’re not having this conversation again okay? Good.” but is confirmed to have affectionate nicknames for the rest of the cast
Could it be that the old ringmaster only referred to him with degrading names/nicknames so much that he now hates being given one as he feels it destroys his own autonomy?
EDIT 2
Background noise? So… he subconsciously tunes humans out entirely? He dissociates? Oh my gosh, Jester. Jester. Speak about your trauma. Talk to one of the circus members I am begging you.
EDIT 3
I found the first image that made me start to think what might have happened to him!
(Please ignore the bad quality and also where it’s highlighted… it was from someone else’s comic..)
