He claims that he only pries bc he wants to make sure that any future step parent can be trusted, but you know better than to believe a world that man says.

You know the real reason. Its the same reason why he hovers near you during the father's day get together Dick asked you to help him with. The same reason he tales whatever chance he can get to place a lingering touch on you. The same reason why he never let's you out of his sight while you move around the backyard of the house you rented for today.

He hasn't gotten over you.

Maybe he's hoping to get you alone to have a talk, maybe he has some delusional hope that if he can just talk to you that you'll come back to gotham and give you and him a real chance.

Its a stupid hope though.

Its so stupid to you, to the point that you refuse to be alone with with him. Why start trouble when you dont have to?

Bruce still tries though. Still tries to stand next to you while opening presents. Still tries to brush his hand against yours when you reach for something.

You're as badass as ExJuvie!Reader.

May I be 🦈anon ?

He's begging us to not pimp him out to that madman. Btw, im using the "Death in the Family" comic Canon in this one. Hope you enjoy and yes! You can be 🦈 anon.

A relationship between Joker and ExHusband would be insanely one sided, with Joker's obsession with you starting after Jason died and you tracking him down to kill him. Oh that anger! That maddening anger and grief that had you risking causing an international crisis, all because he killed your little bird :0).

Did you cry when you were told that your little boy will never be able to come home in one piece :0)? Did you scream and break things when you learned that your son's own mother was the one that lured him to that warehouse in Ethiopia :0)?

Did you track Dr. Sheila Haywood down first or did you come straight to him? He hopes you came to him first, it makes him feel so special when someone picks him.

Something that I think about is how Joker had to have known that Bruce was Batman after beating Jason. I think about how Jason's mask must've fallen off after a particularly cruel swing of that crowbar hit his head. I think about how Joker must've paused, taking in the fact that Batsy's newest little sidekick is yours and Bruce Wayne's newest stray.

Its no secret how much you love your kids, going as far as to spit wine in the face of the governor after his wife and her friends made cruel comments about the newest addition to your family.

You would never let your son become a vigilante... unless his other guardian was there.

It's so obvious now!! All this time, all this FUCKING time his greatest enemy!!

He squats down, still laughing hysterically as he picks up the cracked mask and places it back on Jason's face. "Don't worry, sonny! I'll keep your little secret. It'll be our little secret."

Joker straightens his back, giggling to himself as he imagined the face you and Bruce must be making, knowing that your little robin has prematurely left the nest.

Oh well, he'll find out sooner or later! Right now, he needs to prepare yours and Batsy's surprise!

Jason doesn't remember this moment. He was too out of it to notice that the fucker stopped and fixed his mask. All he remembers is that awful laughing as Joker repeatedly brought the crowbar down onto him.

Jason should've never came here. He shouldn't have argued with you when you said that you didn't trust his mom, Sheila. Jason curled into himself tightly, trying in vain to protect himself from Joker and his mind numbing laugh.

Bruce will be here soon... I just have to hold out. Just a little longer.

Jason gritted his teeth, pained tears pricking his eyes as he did his best to dissociate from the pain.

Pops was right about not trusting mo- Sheila. When Bruce gets me out of here, I'll tell Pops I'm sorry for yelling at him..

You know how two people can keep a secret? By making sure one of them is dead.

Something that I think would happen is another Joker Jr. incident, but instead of turning you into a version of him, Joker turns you into a version of Harley. Or, since he knows that Bruce is Batman now, he turns you into his version of Alfred.

Yep, you are going to become his dedicated, clownish butler.

Oh, don't give him that look! It's romantic! A forbidden love between a master, him, and his servant, you!! Plus, there's some Bonnie and Clyde action going on! Sure, he kidnapped you against your will, drugged you, messed with your mind and caused so much head trauma that you forgot your own name, but, you know what they say, every relationship has its ups and downs!

After a couple of rounds of torture and specially concocted joker serum, you are Joker's perfect right-hand man. His dedicated butler. His frowning buffoon.

It's such a shame that he couldn't get you to smile, but that's okay! After all, he can always paint one on for you <3!

I think he'd call you his fool, or, maybe Buffoon. Something that's on brand with him, but that also has a degrading quality to it. He thinks it fits you <3 Someone who was so high and mighty in Gotham, an Elite, brought down to their knees, donning a sloppily painted on smile as you lay your head on his lap as he rakes his gloved fingers down the nap of your neck.

It's funny, you know? It's so fucking funny! Gotham's Cold Consort, lobotomized into the Joker's new, and favorite, henchman. Don't worry though, there are quite a lot of benefits to being his new favorite! For one, he got your new uniform custom-made! Just. For. You.

Do you think he did that for Harley? He did, somewhat, but for you? It's different! For example, you have cufflinks that match his. What can he say? He's such a romantic <3!

Plus, he likes the control it gives him. He is literally painting on your face and the emotion you will pretend to the world. Plus, the way that you place your face in his hands, so sweetly and obediently, just makes him want to ruin that freshly applied lipstick!

Here is a sleep-deprived artist rendition i did last night to give y'all a general idea of what I am personally imagining (the colors and style can change). I like to think that instead of being dressed in clown/jester clothes, you'd wear a butler's uniform. Just to rub salt in the wound, you know? It's not every day that one of Gotham's elite becomes a butler!

I like to think that, due to the torture, you can't really see your face. To you, you're no longer a person, but a body. When you look in the mirror, all you see is static where a head should be.

After being tortured for a while, you don't really remember what your eye color was, or if you had freckles or whatever people usually have on their faces. When people look at you, they see the fool that's clearly gone through some shit. That unnatural green in your eyes is evidence enough.

(in this setting, I like to imagine people who have been Jokerized having their eye color changed). The more green the person's eyes become, the more gone they are (aka, unable to pretend they are sane), while the more purple the eyes are, the more they retain some cognitive functions (aka, they are able to pretend to be sane). You, my dear, are on the cusp of being gone,

Joker likes keeping you on that cusp, performing before his eyes as you balance on that tightrope. Its attractive, you know? Being able to shake the rope and watch as you almost lose your balance, but never falling. It's like playing with Batsy, but better!

You're just resistant enough to pique his interest and keep him entertained, especially when you have those moments of clarity and rage! Oh, those moments where you have your hands wrapped so tightly around his neck, determined to make him stop. Just stop. Stop laughing. Stop laughing at you! Stop laughing at his pain!!

You've almost succeeded so many times.

But, you keep failing. You fail yourself by being unable to break free. You fail Jason by not getting revenge. You failed everyone in Gotham, because when your moments of clarity pass, your back to being the Joker's most faithful butler.

You are such a dutiful one too. One that can rival Alfred.

Its disgusting.

Bruce doesn't know how to help or save you, but he's trying. He's trying so hard to get you away from the Joker, but he keeps failing.

He can't lose you, not like this. He can't lose the person that Jason loved the most now that he's gone, he can't have Dick lose another parent...

He can't... he doesn't want to see how happy Joker looks when you save him from Bruce. It hurts him... its hurts him in a way that leaves him wishing you were here with him.

Hey hey, heres some silly art for yall if this made yall sad. I had a lot of fun with this ask, it definitely inspired me to draw.

I plan to answer your ask properly soon, but I wanted to thank you first, bc this ask inspired me to draw these two memes.

Since ExGoon has been to prison, I wanted to give him rougher, spiker hairstyle. In a one shot I did, I mentioned how his right arm got badly scarred when Jasmine (genderbent Jason) died, so i wanted to try and incorporate that into this. Im pretty satisfied with how he looks, and im planning to do some character study art for him.

I wanted ExWife to be tanner than ExGoon and Bruce bc she likes going to the beach, and if you look closely, you can see some freckles on her. I like the idea of giving her a bit of a more elegant look bc I like to think she did a lot of self care during her marriage with Bruce. I wish I made her freckles more visible, I think they look cute on her. I decided to give her wavy/slightly curly hair bc I think it looks good on her and I like visual of exgoon having straight hair and exhusband having curly hair.

For ExHusband, I have always imagined him with curly hair. I imagine him as a pretty boy, and the prettiest boys I've ever seen always had curly/kinky hair. I was going to put his hair in a bonnet, but I did not want to erase his hair after experimenting with different brushes to get that this look.
