Found out only 2% of applicants get accepted into clown college and now I can't stop giggling at the idea of Clown Reader stressing themselves out trying to get in.
For reference, only 3.5% of applicants get into Harvard, Yale is 4.5% and Princeton is 4.0%.
They are pacing around in their apartment, their facepaint and accessories scattered around their living room while Jason is sitting on their couch, going over their jokes with them.
Jason, gets up and hugs you: "Hey, hey.. its okay. You're funny, you're so funny, your going to get accepted.."
Clown Reader, crying: "I'm never going to get my own e-egggg!!"
Jason, mentally debating threatening the college board to accept you or not: "You are going to get your egg. I know you are, you're hilarious."
Clown Reader, sniffling as they start pulling out a hankerchief, and then another, and then another, and then another-
Clown Reader: "You're just saying that, Red.. but thank you."

I love imagining that, besides killing the Joker and restoring clowns reputations in Gotham, Clown Reader's life goal is getting thier own egg registered. Jason thinks its silly, you're silly, of course you are, you are a clown after all, however that's what he likes about you. You are silly in a nonthreatening way.
It helps him with his clown adversion, makes him have less clown filled nightmares and more clown filled dreams. Dreams where you are happy and silly. With him. Only him.
So, to keep you silly and happy, he does his best to help you with your goals in a none overstepping way (plan A). He now knows so much about the history of clowns, the different types of clowns (he thinks rodeo clowns are so fun), the intersectionality with clowns and magicians and that in the clown community kid friendly clowns have beef with scary clowns.
"Hey.. why do they have beef with each other? They are both clowns right, Squeaks?" Jason asked after listening to you complaining about the clown infighting that was currently going on.
"Same reason why SOF hates the Joker. A lot of kid friendly clowns think that the scary clowns makes people affraid of us. You'd be surprised how many people have gotten kicked out of SOF for being aggressive to fellow members. I know this one guy, Peri Pierrot, that was being harassed by another clown for being 'too monotone'," you explained, stealing one of his Joker fries. "Big Boss Hoss doesn't hesitate when it comes to the society's rules."
"Big Boss Hoss???" Jason asked, hearing this clown name for the first time.
"Yeah, that's the society's founder's clown name. Cool guy."
