Jester pretending he turned David into a toad after he complained too much

Jester: What’s that? All I heard was “Croak, croak. Croak, croak.”

Pod, hopefully: Did I hear right? David finally croaked?

Jester: ....

David: ....

Pod, disappointed: Oh.

shadowman whenever Jester tries to defend leaving him behind in kings cross station:

Shadowman: *lowkey kidnaps Jester*

Jester:

Do the palace kids actually know Shadow or do they just know him as that random boy who spends time in Jester’s room them leaves

[shortforesmerelda]

David: We’re about to die! Do you really want your last words to be sarcastic?

Jester: [sarcastically] No!

Buckingham Palace? Don’t you mean

I’m guessing you mean shagic? I understand you pain the g and f key are too damn close

Their first kiss was a cover. Shadowman brought Jester along on one of his missions pre-apocalypse to break into a concert what devils. To avoid a security guard they pulled a Back Widow and kissed. Jester was psyched that it actually worked but Shadowman was busy dealing with many revelations.

Didn’t exactly Share a room when they first lived in the palace but thy took opposite quarters and Shadowman spent more time in Jester’s that most people thought that he didn’t have his own. Jester liked drawing on the palace walls but Shadow wasn’t a fan since Jester drew him and forced him to sit still for ages even though Jester could easily draw him from memory

Shadowman didn’t invent the nickname “Jester” but is the court jester joke goldmine. Once he spent 3 hours looking for a court jester costume to mock Jester with and it was worth it. 

David obviously wanted to know about he mysterious cloaked boy who came and went when he pleased with out consulting him even though he was the leader dammit!!11 He asked Jester to tell him everything and boy did he regret it as Jester got super sidetracked. It took David 3 whiny diary entries to realise that he could actually use Jester’s attachment to the edgelord.

#1 palace rumour is how they got together/are they together. Everyone has a different story more ridiculous than the last. Franny thinks that Shadowman and Jester broke up but Shadow isn’t over Jester so he keeps returning. Rose thinks Shadowman killed a whole horde of strangers the first time they meet and Jester offers his love and shelter to pay him back (she reads a lot of romance novels okay). Pod thinks they’re straight, the least popular theory.

Jester is not above playing the middle name card. “DYLAN LLOYD PEAKE!!!” has bee screeched many times.

Anytime anyone asks Shadow what his and Jester’s deal is he looks off into the distance and grumbles “We have…history…” like they’re meant to join in on an angsty flashback.

Shadowman is canonically a football fan pre-the enemy so he used to drag Jester round sports shops and in return he got taken to Hobbycraft and the Range more times than he’d like to admit.

Shadow left some of his clothes at the palace and Jester couldn’t help stealing a t-shirt that Shadow had before. He cut out a heart and sewed it on the inside of his coat so nobody knew it was there apart from a heart shape.

Jester: I thought you said you weren't going to call me stupid anymore now that we're being intimate?

Shadowman: No, I said I wouldn't call you stupid while we're being intimate.
