I am obsessed with your version of airhead!reader!! She's so soft and naive and ahhhh! 😝 I see alot of myself in her and I was thinking bout a request where J snaps at her probably for no reason, this is J he's always being a big meanie! Maybe she runs off and he has to calm her down somehow? I know you will come up with something better than I can! I love your writing!!!!1 Oh and pls take your time girly no pressure if you don't wanna write this! 💕
Luv you Chaos !! ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
Hey hi my lovely anon! 🖤✨
I'm so happy you loved airhead!reader, I'm always self conscious about writing for a pink aesthetic since I hate that color with a passion 😤 but, this ain't about me. You asked and I shall deliver!
I hope you enjoy anon! I wrote this while bedridden from my period, so if there are any errors haha no there isn't 😉
After your unexpected visit to Joker’s hideout with your bright smile and tasty sweets, you are welcomed with open arms by his crew.
They can’t help but love your adoring personality!
Joker might not like you around his organization, but he can’t deny you anything if it makes you happy. And being apart (a tiny part) makes you very, very happy 🥰
You waltz in almost every Friday with baked treats for everyone to enjoy, bringing rays of sunshine with you. ☀️✨
The goons let you play Mario Kart with a customized pink controller and include you in on juicy gossip around the hideout to keep you company while Joker is out terrorizing the city.
However, more often than not, you are left to your own devices because everyone is busy.
And that spells trouble because you don’t understand the concept of danger. At. All. 🙃
You wander the hideout and unknowingly meddle in things that should be left alone.
You almost got hurt from a few well placed boobytrap and you almost burned down the abandoned kitchen after trying to light the oven.
That thing has seen better days decades ago but you swore you could fix it. You of all people...
Joker isn’t happy. His Sunlight is a magnet for danger and he honestly wishes you would stay far farrrrr away from his operations but again.
When has he ever said no to his sweet girl? It’s virtually impossible, so you keep visiting much to his annoyance.
Joker’s solution is to lock you inside his office but that soon backfires when you throw a tantrum and somehow hurt yourself.
He’s more annoyed that you broke his favorite office chair so when you whine that you’re in pain? Oh Joker has had enough.
Joker came back from an unsuccessful mission to loud sobs coming from his office. Frost shrugged his shoulders before uttering, “I don’t get paid enough.” as he walked off.
Pussy. Fine, Joker could handle this! He wasn’t terrified of you..
When he opened the door and saw you sitting on the floor with his broken chair lying in pieces around you, his already limited patience evaporated like vapor.
“What did ya get into now?” He groaned.
You sobered up your tears and tried to greet Joker but the large cut on your leg stung too much so you remain seated. You weren’t expecting J to be in such a nasty mood.
“Are ya too dumb to speak, Y/n? I asked a question?” He rolled his eyes when your lower lip wobbled.
Sure you were a bit ditzy, but Joker never insulted you about it. To hear him belittle you at a time like this, hurt more than falling out of the chair.
You tried to respond but apparently not fast enough for J’s liking.
“You wouldn’t be sitting there lookin’ stupid if ya stayed at home! Whyy do I keep you around?”
The last part was said under his breath but you heard it loud and clear and it shattered your heart.
You ignored the pain and ran out of Joker’s office, a sobbing mess. He waved you off and set to work cleaning up the mess you left behind. He’d deal with you later.
When he reached down to pick up a broken piece, it sliced through his hand and made him hiss. It didn’t hurt him but that wasn’t the case for you.
His sweet Sunlight with your low tolerance to pain. It must’ve been agonizing. Seeing droplets of blood on the floor made him feel instant guilt.
Joker knew he messed up and chased after you to make things right.
You were startled awake by something soft brushing against your lips.
You almost freaked my but stopped the second you saw Joker laying on the bed beside you, spinning a flower in between his fingers.
He brushed it along the tear tracks that stained your cheeks, “I hate when ya cry…”
J sucked at apologizing but you knew by his sheepish behavior, that it was genuine. He didn’t know how to say, I’m sorry. So he found other ways.
It wouldn’t kill him to say it and you fixed your lips to help him out when the same flower trailed down your cheek, past your lips, and slipped straight to your leg.
You’re shocked to see that it was cleaned up and a pretty pink bandaid was covering the wound you had from earlier. You were speechless. Did J do that for you?
Joker watched you pensively as he brushed the wound with the flower. “I was mad earlier n’ took it out on you. I uh.. I didn’t mean what I said.. mkay? Kisses?”
He nudged a giant bouquet of flowers you didn’t notice closer to you on the bed and waited for your response. He looked absolutely pitiful, expecting your forgiveness.
What Joker said to you was really hurtful however he didn’t have to treat your wound or buy you flowers as an apology. With Joker, actions spoke louder than words so you knew he was truly sorry for being mean.
You couldn’t stand his green puppy dog eyes any longer. You never stayed mad at J for too long.
He breathed a sigh of relief when you leaned in to kiss him but panicked when you pulled away rather abruptly, “Don’t ever call me stupid again.” You warned.
Joker frantically nodded, “M’promise pretty girl, I won’t.”
What if!! Y/N wanted to figure out J's birthday so she could spoil and love on him!!! But! Joker wasn't cooperating and wouldn't tell her when it was. So she just picks a random day and surprises him with home made cake and treats and lots of gifts and lots and lots of love!!!!!! I was reading the birthday head cannon you wrote and I loved it!!! But it got me a little sad that J isolates himself on his Birthday ☹️ He deserves a birthday extravaganza!!! 😩😩💞💞💞 I wonder how he would feel about the birthday bash he deserves 😤🧐💜💚💜
Hey hi anon!!!! 🖤✨
Omg this ask made me get carried away! I was editing the chapter draft and 👩🏽💻 anyhoo! Joker knows your birthday but when is his? We’ll never know!
I hope you enjoy this lil what if. 😘
It’s not fair that Joker knows your birthday while you are clueless to his.
You understand that he’s a very mysterious person and disclosing his date of birth would breach his top secret identity but you’re his girl. You deserve to know!
It’s not like you’re gonna broadcast it to the world, you just wanna know so you can celebrate it in private 😞
You don’t know how old Joker is or anything. What if there’s a sizable age gap in the relationship? Now you're even more curious. What if he’s younger than you?! You need to knoooooow!
Whenever you ask about his age, he sends you a death glare and grumbles to himself. Clearly his age is a sensitive topic.
Since Joker won’t tell you anything, you ask Frost hoping that he’ll spill the beans. Surely he knows!
The two men are so close, if you play your cards right, you can get Frost to fess up and then you can start planning a birthday bash for J!
Only Frost doesn’t cooperate either! You don’t know if he’s sworn to secrecy or he simply doesn’t know the answer; Frost ain’t talking.
You don’t understand all the secrecy! You just wanna know the day. Joker deserves all the love in the world and his birthday is the perfect way to celebrate him.
Everyone looks forward to their birthday, why doesn’t Joker? 🤔
You question if he had a traumatic childhood (which is 200% possible 👀) or maybe he’s just a Debbie Downer and doesn’t like parties.
You’ve been with Joker long enough to know that he loves a good party so that theory is out. You turn your focus elsewhere to get an answer.
The year passes and it makes you sad that Joker doesn’t bother to celebrate his birthday.
Did he forget the date? Does he really not know?!How does someone forget their own birthday?!
The possibilities are endless and you’re left with no choice but to select a day at random to surprise him.
You think long and hard and finally settle on a date. It holds meaning for the both of you and far off to give you ample time to prepare.
You are going all out for Joker’s birthday whether he likes it or not.
Joker doesn't understand why his Bunny randomly pitched an attitude and demanded that he get out.
You were perfectly fine the night before, you just woke up in a bad mood and told him to leave. Eventually he does, but Joker can't help but think he did something wrong to upset his girl.
The entire day he's thinking of anything he might’ve said (or did) to get on your bad side. Little does he know, you are finalizing your plans and need him gone in order to complete his birthday surprise.
You have absolutely no idea what theme Joker will like, so you stick to an all black color scheme and bake all his favorite sweets to pacify him.
Joker has a notorious sweet tooth and you capitalize on that fact. His favorite cake, tiny chocolate bars, various cookies, and etc. are laid out on your fanciest glass platters and serving trays.
You really go all out with the decorations and they reach all the way up to your high valued ceilings.
The theme is gothic chic just in case Joker doesn't appreciate the joyful atmosphere that is usually associate with birthdays.
If you had it your way there would be an explosion of color. You know Joker would instantly hate that.
The last thing you wanted was to disappoint Joker and turn him away from ever celebrating his birthday again.
You were taking a huge risk doing this and there was no room for failure no matter how small.
You finished plugging in the neon 'happy birthday' sign when you heard a key turning in the front door. You knew Joker just couldn't stay away. He thought you were mad at him but it was only a ruse to get him out of the penthouse.
The second Joker stepped into the foyer, the apology speech he had prepared, dissolved after seeing the sea of black balloons ahead of him.
"Uhhh... Bunny?" He hesitantly stepped forward into the living room. "Did someone die?"
His confusion only grew when you rounded the corner holding a lit cake. It was his favorite with fresh berries piled on top. He was looking forward to devouring that but still. Nothing made any sense. What was the occasion?
"Sugar, why is the cake on fire?"
You rolled your eyes and set the cake down on its pedestal. Joker raised an eyebrow, since you still didn't give him any clues as to what was going on—until you started singing happy birthday.
Oh.
The pieces finally clicked together. "Why are you—”
"Happy birthday to Joker.." You winked at the dumbfounded clown, "Happy birthday to you! Yay! Now hurry and blow the candles out!!" You urged him.
Joker sighed at the absurdity of it all but heeded your request. He blew the green and purple candles out while you cheered him on.
"Now, explain what's uh, going on here?"
You ignored J's question to pick up a present, one out of the many neatly wrapped boxes stacked in a pile. "Here!! Open this one first!"
He took it from your hands and set it down. "Bunny. What. Are. You. Doing?"
You knew that tone. Joker wasn't amused and wanted answers. You pouted knowing that the jig was up.
"I wanted to celebrate your birthday since you never told me the date. So... um happy birthday?"
Joker scoffed at the notion, "Its our anniversary. Not my birthday, doll."
You tried not to get emotional after learning that he remembered the date. Joker was secretly a romantic after all.
"W-Well you wouldn’t tell me when you were born so I had to get creative! It’s fine or whatever. I baked a lot of sweets so enjoy that I guess."
You tried to flee the scene but Joker grabbed you and held you to his chest. His content sigh left goosebumps on your neck as he rocked you gently in place.
“Thanks doll. I uh, app-re-ci-ate it.”
“You still won’t tell me when’s your birthday?” You grumbled.
Hi Chaos! I've seen your headcanons of J with a cat and I loved it 😊
It was great to see that Joker loves cats because I love them too! And I thought, what if Twilight had baby kittys and Reader was with the kittens all day, leaving aside the Joker?
Hey hi anon!!! 🖤✨
Ooooh!!! I remember the cat hc! Let’s expand on this because we all love a jealous Joker 🤭I hope you enjoy anon!
Only Joker would become jealous over a cat that HE bought for you 🥴
What started out as a companion gift for the long nights when J was away turned into a rivalry unlike no other. Again. You can’t believe he was jealous over a cat.
Twilight is a smart girl. Her green eyes watch your every move, she voices her disapproval if you feel down, and she’s super clingy just like her co-owner. What’s not to love?
Joker could tolerate Twilight, she’s just one cat to contend with for your attention. That doesn’t stop him from locking her out of rooms so he can cuddle with you instead.
She refuses to lose so easily and scratches at the door to earn your sympathy vote. And those sad wittle mewls!!!! How can you say no to her?!? 😭
Her knowing eyes mock Joker whenever you give her more attention. This rivalry goes on for several weeks until it stops abruptly.
Joker was not concerned when Twilight disappeared but you were devastated! She was a wonderful companion and wiser than an human being. You cried your heart out on J’s shoulder.
He thought he won the war. He refuses to share you with anyone or any being. Imagine his surprise when Twilight returned. With a litter of kittens.
Joker didn’t stand a chance.
Now Twilight and her four kittens steal all of your time leaving him stewing in jealousy.
You doted on them as if they were your actual children and Joker (your big baby) was nearing his limit.
He wanted your attention too! Did he not deserve your affection? He got to thinking and the cats had to go.
They were in the way.
It wouldn’t be the first time he delivered a sack of dead kittens to the GCPD, it was in his nature. But right as he was hovering over the cute little nest you made for them out of blankets and such, you appeared behind him.
“Whatcha doing Joker?”
He jumped and turned around with a nervous grin plastered on his face, “Bunny!! What a uh.. pleasant surprise!”
You weren’t buying his sweet talk. Did he think you were stupid? He mumbles in his sleep and you were hip to his nefarious thoughts.
“I would really hate if you were thinking about hurting my babies. You wouldn’t harm them would you, J?” You arched an eyebrow at his fidgety demeanor.
He was so busted.
You looked like a protective mama ready to defend your young. It was hot, although he knew you wouldn’t be in the mood if he commented on it. Soooo he applied some heavy damage control.
“I ahh.. n-no Bun I would neve~errrrrr. I was just um checkin’ in on em!” Joker said.
You crossed your arms. “They have names you know.”
Joker was at a loss so you sighed and helped him out. Of course he didn’t care to remember their names.
“That one is called Dawn because of its lighter coat and that’s Midnight for obvious reasons. Oh and I can’t forget Dusk and Eve.” you said as you pointed out each kitten.
Joker gave you a side eye for the original names. “You really thought this out huh.” He said dryly.
“Of course! I already put them up for adoption on my blog. Everyone but Dusk has a forever home. I can’t possibly take care of four kittens! Twilight and you are more than enough for me.”
You raked your fingers through Joker’s hair and he immediately hummed out his gratitude.
Finally he was getting some attention even if you implied he was a feline. He could ignore that for now.
Hiiiii!!! Can I be known as 🥁anon? I was the one who requested Jokers music taste and the instrument one!! (So glad you liked them btw, you write so welll!!!!!!)
How about 10 signs that joker is in love/likes someone and his love language? I mainly imagine him as someone who denies the idea (just like in HL) but still acts on his feelings in his own way- maybe leaving gifts around and denying any sort of accountability for them?
“I’m telling you, you’ve had that necklace on before” - “Huh? I didn’t even know you liked hand bags.” - “You SERIOUSLY forgot you owned that car?”
Welcome 🥁 anon!!
A huge hey hi to you! Yes, your requests were so much fun to fill, I hope I did them some justice! Ahh! Thank you, I'm happy you love mi work! 😭😭🥹
Lol, ten signs that Joker is in love? YOU MEAN, TEN THINGS HE HATES ABOUT YOU? 🥴 sorry not sorry.
Anyhoo, I hope you enjoy 🥁 anon! 🖤✨
Denial is a river in Egypt because Joker refuses to admit that he loves you! But he's a man where the saying, "Actions speak louder than words” applies. He won't say it (lol Meg from Hercules) but there will be signs he’s in love.
Joker is already attentive but he's even more so as he begins to accept his feelings. He listens and retains the tiniest details about you so he can use the information for later. J shocks you when he remembers your obscure food order (and the extra sauces) when you only said it once in passing three months ago. Joker doesn't know, but his love language is heavy influenced by actions.
Another sign is Joker being more supportive. He's always in your corner motivating you to do anything you set your mind to but now he's more focused on your future with him. If you want a promotion, one is suspiciously available the next week or if you can't take the stress of your job and want to quit, Joker will offer to support you financially. You ask for it, Joker will make it happen.
Joker becomes more protective than ever. If the security cameras and secret detail wasn't enough proof how much Joker loves you, the way his eyes never leave your sight in public, the way he rests his hand on your lower back in crowds, or protects you from danger (that he may or may not have caused) is telling. Joker has never been a knight in shining armor before and he loves having something to protect. He will always protect his Light and takes his responsibility seriously.
Once he admits he's falling hard, Joker will become clingy and start introducing his love language of physical touch to you more. For years, he never let anyone close but you have that honor now. He holds you close while you're cooking, he plays with your hands during movie night marathons, and he denies enjoying cuddles—he's just cold—but you know better. Joker can't stop touching you in someway shape or fashion. He’s addicted now.
Which brings us to another sign. Gift giving is another one of Joker's strong love languages but this man will deny deny deny ever getting you anything!! He leaves them around for you to find and dramatically gasps when you do. "Gee Bunny, I don’t know why there's a shiny new hand bag on your bed.. I didn't know ya liked 'em." Or, "Ya don't know your own closet Bunny? This new winter coat still has the uhh, tag on it." Followed by a, "What a coincidence! Twenty-nine reported subway muggings just this week and you win a uhhh surprise car! Don't ya re-mem-ber entering that contest doll?" Joker loves buying you things but he sucks at lying.
Joker tends to forget his version of love is not normal so he gets possessive a lot. He's a jealous man by nature and if he sees competition, he will eliminate it. You don't need to know why the flirtatious guy at the front lobby no longer works there, or the guy that gave you his number was found dead the following day.. The thing is! Joker finally admitted that he loves you! He will not let anyone take you away from him.
Another sign from Joker is his sudden willingness to communicate. J is a mysterious, closed off individual. Its an honor to know anything about him so when J sits you down and opens up about his time spent in Arkham or explains what his childhood was like (but cautious, it could still be lies)— consider it a miracle. Joker is opening up to you! He wants you to know more about him and his shy, hesitant eyes staring into yours shows that he's vulnerable doing so. Don't take advantage of him in this state or you'll lose him forever.
Speaking of forever, you know Joker is all about planning. His backup plans have backup plans from B-Z. One day he found himself staring up at the ceiling planning on how to make things official with you and now it’s all he can think about. You’re not a secret and he’s tired of treating you like one. It'll be dangerous if he announces you as his girl, (you'll never be safe) but Joker wants the world to know that you love him so he stares off into the void and plots a way for it to work.
Contrary to popular belief Joker is not cold hearted. He can be passionate when the need arises and he cranks it up to 100% with you. Joker never had a healthy relationship so he tends to forget the intensity in which he loves you. He has so much emotion to give that he literally leaves you breathless. His kisses are greedy and desperate, and the way he clings to you during sex makes you combust with love. This man doesn't even know he can destroy you with a single touch and it’s better he remains blissfully unaware.
And lastly. The ultimate sign that Joker loves you. The moment Joker takes you to his main hideout, walking hand in hand, where anyone can see— is the moment you know he loves you. When Joker exposes you to his world, there’s no going back. You’re the one and when he orders all of his men in for a manatory meeting you're in tears. It’s finally happening.
"Good evening gentle men. I have a special announcement tonight." Joker pulls you to stand in front of him and proceeds to wrap his arms around you possessively.
Your heart is beating out of your chest while all of these men stare at you in shock. You don't blame them.
Joker is nuzzling his nose into the crook of your neck but you miss the dark gleam in his eyes. They spell murder for anyone that dares to defy him. He scanned the crowd, looking for any naysayers.
"This is my Bunny and I'll kill anyone.. who's gotta problem with it."
Hi, Chaos! I have a request - How would J react with Y/N having a condition called 'winking eye syndrome'? It's actually something I have but it's such a rare condition that it's never mentioned. I would love to read your take on it. Thanks in advance! <3
Hello and hi beloved!!! 🖤✨
Fun fact! Anytime I have an ask that’s medical in nature, I run to my mother to get the most accurate information. She loves helping out to answer these so much!
Moving along! Winking eye syndrome? Coming right up! 👩🏽💻 I’m sorry I’m answering this ask so late, writers block is powerful. I hope you enjoy beautiful 😘
Definition: Marcus Gunn Jaw winking syndrome (MGJWS) is one of the congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders (CCDD) and these individuals have variable degrees of blepharoptosis in the resting, primary position. It is associated with synkinetic movements of the upper eyelid during masticating movements of the jaw.
credit & credit
MGJ, another rare condition (with hardly any studies/articles) that affects the eyelids literally by 'winking' at inopportune moments.
(From my research) its more of an insecurity or an annoyance than anything since its not life threatening or harmful, (if it exceeds 2mm then it could be).
However the mental health side effects—being self conscious, is serious enough to discuss.
Joker is very perceptive, and especially about his Bunny, so he would definitely notice but not comment.
He takes notice how you don't eat or drink in front of him to avoid him seeing your condition.
You are very particular about how you angle your face or talk in order to not upset your jaw and cause any flare ups even though sometimes the wink can be involuntary.
Joker doesn't like you hiding from him and makes it his mission to help you become more comfortable with yourself.
You might get a cheeky joke every now and then like, "Are ya getting sleepy Bunny?" or “Happy to see me doll?" as he winks right back at you.
Don't panic, Joker is never insulting or mean to you! Its all done in jest.
He does enjoy seeing you fluster and try to shy away but he's quick to spin you around to face him.
You pout and close your eyes, that won't work. Joker is patient and he'll wait however long it takes for you to look at him. Its high time he addressed this.
"Mind tellin' me whyy your hiding those... gorgeous eyes from me sweetheart?"
His alluring voice makes the words pierce your heart even harder yet your lingering insecurities make you hesitate. "They're not gorgeous, J. I hate them."
You bury your face into Joker's chest. He's just saying that because he's your partner. You hate your eyelids for always being stupid and not working properly. It makes taking photos a daunting task. Eye contact is your worst nightmare and it overall makes you ugly.
"You are noT ugly, Y/n."
Wait, did you say that part out loud? Joker tipped your chin up so he could see you more clearly. The deep frown on his face means he's dead serious and you silently begin to panic.
"You think I would liee when I call ya my pretty girl. My Goddess? Mm? Am I a li-ar Y/n?"
His eyes scan your face and force you to mumble a quick, "N-No.."
Joker leaned down to kiss your forehead, both of your eyelids, and then lastly your lips. "No I'm noT, I'm tellin' ya the truth. I don't care if your 'eyelids are stupid'. They belong to my Bunny and my Bunny is perfect. Mhm, wouldn't change a thiiiing." J hugged you close and nuzzled your hair with his cheek.
He hated acting all soft but you needed some sweet reassurance. Your condition made you unique and J loved that about you.
One of these days he would get you to fully embrace your individuality. It would take some time and loads of energy but Joker had more than enough patience to help his Bunny be the best version you could be.
Hey Chaos, I have to say that I am SO obsessed with Joker and Ariana Grande cause im just a girl, and I thought, why not mix them? What if reader was singing and listening to Ariana all day? I think it would be fun hehe
this is me btw: https://youtu.be/nWdB3d0VoNw?si=XNNXyQVuIWdaqXJA
-🎀
There are only two answers here my lovely anon. Let’s discuss them below!!! 🖤✨
Also did you want to claim the coveted 🎀 anon? 👀 you will burdened with a glorious purpose if you accept I need to know you can handle the task.
Joker understands that you’re just a girl!! You are entitled to your own opinions and choice of music.
He enjoys watching his Bunny sing and dance around since it helps calm him down after a hard night of work. He just pretends✨that he doesn’t care but he’s always watching.
Sure he doesn’t have a clue what the singer is saying but he can’t help but smile seeing you have fun and act out the lyrics.
He does jump a bit if you start belting out in the car so be warned, our clown has sensitive ears!!
Insert the link of you and J driving around. Well he almost swerves the car into oncoming traffic after you shout out the lyrics so suddenly.
“Sorry J..” and you turn down the volume but he surprises you by cranking it back up and tapping the steering wheel along to the beat.
Joker refuses to sing along but he does know some of Ariana’s biggest hits because his Bunny is obsessed with her.
Do you want concert tickets? He gets you front row with meet and greet passes.
And he makes sure you have every album on vinyl if you want them. #SupportiveJoker
Now if Joker hates it… well 👀 😬😬😬😬😞
Joker doesn’t mind his Bunny singing every now and then but today, you’ve been at it nonstop!
You replayed the same album three times in a row and he knows this because well…
OKAY! Joker listens to Ariana Grande alright? His Bunny is practically obsessed with her so he had to find out why! 👀 denies he’s a fan.
Joker memoriezed your favorite songs and he remembers when you begged for concert tickets when a tour was first announced.
Joker supports everything you do, but today you are irritating his already frayed nerves by singing.
You and J get into the car to run a few errands and you automatically connect your phone to the speakers.
Again, insert you jamming in the car but this time it’s different. “THIS IS THE PART WHEN I SAY I—”
Joker rips your phone cord out the system, “No! No no no nooo! You are noT breaking free today!”
He puts an end to your car concert and you’re stunned at his random burst of anger.
You are shocked, amused, and hurt all at the same time. Joker ruined your fun in the process but he looks so cute when he pouts!! 🥰 wait did he make a joke?!?!?!? 👀
You try to reconnect your phone but J smacks your hand away. Well alright, silence it is.
I saw your headcanons post for joker x reader who struggles with anemia & loved it so, so much! It’s always lovely when we get to see our favorite characters caring for us in little ways like that, especially when it comes to our daily struggles that often go largely ignored by society. I was wondering if you’d be willing to do a joker x f!reader with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome sometime? And as always, no pressure at all <3
— 🌹
Welcome my sweet 🌹anon!!
You ask, and I deliver! I had to do some extensive research with my mom to make sure I was accurate with this request! I learned so much via articles and short documentaries! Shoutout to my chronic pain sufferers! Chaos acknowledges you and I loves you!!
If anything doesn't sound right let me know 🌹 anon so I can correct it! I hope you enjoy! There are several sub-types of the disease but we'll focus on hEDS for this head canon 🖤✨
Since your disorder is rare and hereditary, there isn't any known treatment or any medical studies/research done to cure the illness. There isn't even a test done to diagnose its so vastly ignored! 😡😡
Society turns a blind eye to _EDS, simply chalking it up to hypermobility and being non-life threatening. WRONG.
hEDS is life threatening and sources fail to address the lifelong chronic pain and other debilitating issues that the rare disease causes. There are 13 sub types with their own crippling ailments.
Joker would hardly notice anything wrong until you go and hurt yourself, which is rather easy due to your fragile skin and joints.
Your body doesn't heal well after injury so bruises linger, scars are permanent, and dislocations are a common occurrence. Yay to pain. 🙃✨
Growing up, it was cool to show off your double joints and overly flexible body but as your age hit the double digits, you noticed the complications of your parlor tricks pretty quickly.
Muscle weakness was the first indicator followed by scarier issues like weak blood vessels and potential organ ruptures. Chronic pain is a reality that you have to endure since your body fails to function properly.
Life grinds to a halt when you have a flare up and Joker arches an eyebrow when you stay in bed for days at a time and work remotely.
Just moving is an impossible feat and your body punishes you for defying its demands for rest. You still have to live your life! Somehow.
Joker tries to crack jokes but you roll your eyes and ignore him. You’re just not in the mood.
He doesn't understand how you can go from practicing yoga in the sunroom to being bedridden in the same hour so he assumes you're faking being sick and that thought makes you cry.
Knowing that your lover believes that you are acting, hurts more than your aching joints and Joker immediately notices when your mental health begins to decline.
Now he's worried. When you can, you do as much as you're able, never knowing when your body will betray you and confine you to bed. Every moment is precious and Joker will never understand that.
Life returns back to "normal" but Joker demands answers. He's still in shock.
Weren't you on death's door just yesterday? Now you're returning to work, laughing and smiling, as if nothing is wrong. He doesn’t know what to think.
So he disappears to search the internet and after hours of clicking away, he's just as confused as when he started. (I feel you J..)
Joker refuses to believe there is nothing he can do to help his Bunny. This hEDS can't keep you down forever. Right? 👀
Why aren't there any studies, or any institutions pledging to find a cure for this?! Does he have to kidnap a doctor or two to get the ball rolling?
Joker remembers he does have a doctor on his payroll. He calls up Sarai and bombards her with the same questions he typed into Google.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY BUNNY?🧑💻
Sarai doesn't give him much else to go on except keeping you comfortable, well medicated if you take any, and to continue your physical therapy but not too much exercise as to aggravate your joints.
Great... so he's back to square one!
Joker hears you groan from the next room and goes to check on his poor Bunny. He would find a way to make you feel better himself.
You had dozed off for a long quick nap and woke up to the sound of something falling over in the bathroom.
It still hurt to move but at least it wasn’t agonizing anymore. This current pain level you could tolerate.
You were willing yourself to toss the covers back when Joker appeared in the doorway looking rather sheepish.
“Hey doll. Uhh are ya feeling up to move?” He scanned you over as if he could gauge your pain tolerance by sight. Your small smile gave him some hope.
“Mmm. I gotta get up and fix something to eat.” You were weak and probably dehydrated from lying in bed all day, but that was to be expected.
Joker watched you swing a leg over and rushed to your side. “I uh.. ran a bath. If ya want. A Reddit post mentioned ah.. hoT water being helpful.”
It didn’t dawn on you just what Joker was saying. All you heard was the latter part of his sentence. “You have a Reddit account?”
He smacked his lips while helping you slowly walk towards the en-suite bath. To your surprise, the bath was waiting for you with a rolling cart next to it, hopefully with something to snack on.
You were speechless. “J… you did all this for me?”
He looked away and you got the impression that he was blushing. He still had his clown makeup on so you couldn’t tell for sure.
“Thank you J. I mean it.” He helped you sit on the nearby wooden bench after you kissed his cheek. “Um. I can undress myself.. if you need to—ah! Okay! You’re seriously doing this.”
Joker started with your socks and worked his way up until not a single thread of fabric was left on your body. You felt so exposed sitting there nude while Joker dipped his hand into the bath water.
It was hot enough to be medicinal but not scalding. He snapped his fingers and dashed over to the storage area to grab your bag of epsom salt before dumping a few cups in.
You got to see a rare softer side of Joker hard at work. No one would believe you if you reported this. The Joker, Gotham City’s worst nightmare, was preparing you a bath with the greatest care.
“All-right-yyy ya ready pretty girl?” Joker’s voice snapped you out of your daydream. He playfully flicked some water at you to get your attention.
You couldn’t flinch away and huffed your displeasure.
“I couldn’t resist, Bunny. Now in ya go! Hold onto my shoulders, yeah?” He picked you up as if you were made of glass and gently lowered you into the bath. “Easy doll, I know it’s hot. Just relax.”
Joker shushed any whimpers you made and held you steady underneath the water. For the next few unbearable moments, Joker was right there whispering sweet nothings to calm you down.
Finally you relaxed with a deep sigh, “This is perfect.”
“Good. If ya want, you can rest a bit. I’ll keep you.. well you know.. from drowning. But ya do need to eat something first. Here.” He dried his hand off and fed you a [insert favorite snack].
You felt like royalty and Joker had no issue helping you adjust to the role. He fed you piece by piece, offering you sips of water in between while holding your hand and rubbing soothing circles on your skin with his thumb.
The contact warmed your heart. Joker may not know much about your medical condition, but he would always be there to support you.
How do you think Joker would deal with menstruation? Or if reader had a long delay and they both thought she was pregnant 😂 (but then it turned out to be a false alarm)
Hey hi anon!! 🖤✨
I couldn't help myself and jumped out of line of ask requests! I woke up from a nap with the perfect idea for this so here we go! I hope you enjoy anon!
It is common knowledge that Joker does not use condoms. The tried and true saying, 'wrap it before you tap is' does not apply to him, mkay?
This man does not care. Its risky, its dangerous, and its incredibly hot to slide into you with nothing in the way.
That friction of skin between skin just scratches an itch of intimacy that Joker never knew he needed. Now he knows why condoms are so expensive. Its a clear indicator not to use them!
Joker knows you secretly enjoy it too or you would have put an end to raw sex from the beginning.
Joker does not take into consideration if you're taking any birth contraceptive measures [thats your choice as the reader] he's got bigger things to worry about, but there was always a twinge of hesitation in his mind.
What if you get pregnant?
Joker is NOT father material despite the countless nannies and other random people from your apartment building that compliment his DILF status and skills every time you babysit your neighbor's kid.
Joker is not one for children, but he sorta kinda likes Gio. The little tyke's got spunk and he's so well mannered and you look ethereal whenever you hold Gio and the sunlight hits you a certain—
Okay. Fine! So Joker has toyed with the idea!
He let his mind wander once or twice but it doesn't mean he's actively tryna knock you up! He is not about that life. Gotham City has to burn first and there's too much fun to cause to be weighted down with a child.
Nothing is for certain but Joker knows. He knows you can and will be a great mother just... not with his kid.
Joker is fully aware of your 'time of the month.' You're more moodier than usual and you always desert him in the guest bedroom for the comfort of your private room.
You don't come out except to eat and you take said meals in your sanctuary. He hates the one week of the month where his Light is not around.
He does not like when you shut him out and hide in your shell but you grumble 'hormones' or 'leave me lone, J' and waddle back to safety.
Joker wants nothing more to cuddle up with you and rub your cramps away or hand feed you all the weird snacks you crave while your buried under the blankets, but you won't let him near you!
Why won't you let him spoil you?
Contrary to popular belief, Joker is smart and very detail driven. He keeps up with your mensural cycle because he needs to know when his Light will be out of commission.
He needs to know when to stay out of your way and when to keep your favorite snacks stocked in the penthouse. Since you won't let him near you, he'll keep you satisfied with acts of service.
A happy Bunny, is a happy Joker.
So..... he's a lit-tle confused when your expected start date rolls around and you're still well, normal.
You haven't snapped at him once or asked for some ridiculous food pairing that should not go together.
You're still the bunny that he fell ten times over for. And when nothing happens for three days in a row.. Joker silently panics.
Its day five without any bleeding and Joker is a nervous wreck. You noticed a slight change in his behavior recently but with your upset stomach, you haven't given him any more attention.
You've been nauseous since the beginning of the week and no ginger ale, saltine crackers, or other home remedies that Sarai texted you to try have worked. If you don't feel any better in the morning, you're going to the ER and she better be on-call.
You were at your wits end trying to treat this weird stomach bug when she sends another message that makes your heart drop to the floor.
When's ur last period ever think bout that?
You drop your phone and spiral down a rabbit hole. When was your last period? Shouldn’t you be due for one soon? You snap out of your thoughts and open your period tracker and groan aloud when you notice you're five days late.
"Oh no. Oh nope nope nopeity nope." You look around the room like it miraculously held the answers to your dilemna. You've never been late a day in your life and right on time, your imaginary angel appeared on your shoulder.
"You and J do go at like rabbits..." She grimaced.
On your other shoulder your brash devil appeared. She was in rare form with a wide grin, stretching from ear to ear.
"And we be taking them loads straight to the womb! I bet you’re regretting not wrapping that sausage every time huh you cum whore? Haha! Pregnant with a psychopath's baby! That's wild! Couldn’t be me tho!”
She doubled over laughing and your angel shot her a glare. "It isn’t funny. This affects you too! Y/n, ignore her. CVS is on the corner babe. Aisle nine, lets go."
You nodded to yourself and grabbed your phone and keys, headed to the door but Joker came out of nowhere and blocked your way.
He took in your frazzled appearance. Your hands were shaking and you failed to care that you were only wearing yoga pants and one of his hoodies.
"Where ya going, pretty girl?"
His hands touched yours and discreetly took your keys from you. And you're so out of it, you hardly noticed.
"I uh, there's um.."
"Use your words, Y/n." Joker urged you.
You breathed in and out before meeting his curious eyes.
He's ever your rock; calm and ready to tackle any situation you throw at him. Would he handle this one if you told him the truth?
This would ruin all of his plans. You were supposed to be a temporary stop in his jorney called life. You would be a liability if you came out and said, 'oh hey Joker! I'm late!'
"LaTe for what?"
You blinked rapidly. Did you say that aloud?!! Joker arched an eyebrow and waited for you to answer him. Your mouth flopped like a fish.
Thank the heavens that Joker is so patient with you. He rolled his eyes and guided you into the powder room off of the foyer.
From there, he picked you up and sat you down on the counter. He stood between your legs, gently rubbing your legs.
"Talk to me, bunny. What's stuck in that uhh.. pretty lit-tle head of yours, hmm? You can tell meeeeeee."
You burst into tears and Joker froze like a statue. Those tears of yours were his kryptonite.
"I'm late! I haven't had my period yet!"
Joker clicked his tongue and set to work wiping your tears away. He was a little rough while doing it but the motion helped calm you down. Joker was still rusty with being affectionate and you smiled at his sweet gesture.
"I know."
You glanced up at him, "Whah?"
Joker repeated himself and leaned forward on his palms near your hips. "You're uhh, five, days late, doll. I need ya to do me a favor. Can ya do that?" He waited until you stopped sniffing.
Your nod was his clue to continue.
He pushed three bottles of water next to you. You stared down at them and the ominous brown paper bag on the counter. You just now noticed it.
"I need you to drink these and then... take these."
Joker knew you would freak out when he dumped the bag over to reveal the pregnancy tests he made Mac buy this morning. Joker was tired of waiting. If this was happening, he'd be the first to know before getting Sarai involved with a final medical confirmation.
You started hyperventailing until Joker grabbed your face with his hands. "Bunny... bunny... hey. Look at me. There she is. Breathe. Drink n' we'll take them to-get-ther."
"Y-You promise?" You hiccuped.
He hated seeing the fear clouding your coloured eyes. You clung to his wrist, looking up at him as if he had all the answers.
It was obvious that your were overwhelmed and scared. Joker would have to push aside his own jitters and be the stronger person here. He exhaled with a marred smile.
"I prooomise Sweetheart. Now! Drink up for me."
Joker offered you the first water bottle and you took it with the hopes this would all be false alarm.
You were pacing in the foyer with Joker seated nearby. Even with every sharp turn you made, his eyes never strayed from you.
You were a ball of nerves and he hated that you were biting your poor nails to the quick.
He was about to tell you to stop when the timer in the bathroom went off. You stared at the doorway as if it were radioactive. One of your favorite songs continued to play as the timer yet you resumed your pacing.
Joker called out your name to no reply. You were looping back around to past by him and he grabbed your arm. "Light, its time to check."
You shook your head. "I-I-I can't... you're gonna hate me and... and leave.. I just!" You yelped when Joker jerked you into his arms. He sighed into your untamed curls and squeezed you close.
He was too calm during all of this. How was he so calm?!
It was really bothering you until your head rested on his chest and you got to feel his heart beating erratically. Joker was nervous too but he didn't show it and that made you tear up even more.
He was bottling his emotions to be a shoulder for you to lean on.
It made no sense just how caring Joker was to you. He was a changed man indeed.
Joker tipped your head up with his finger. "You want me to check for ya?" He chuckled at your furious nod. Of course you did, why did he even ask? "M'aright, lemme go, doll. Them nails are killin' me."
You mumbled out an apology and let J go. He walked into the bathroom and closed the door. He sighed and glanced at the four pregnancy test lined up on the counter. Leave it to his doll to be neat even while under duress.
He didn't want to do this but you didn't have the courage to. So Joker was left to face one of his worst fears all alone.
There wasn't a proper procedure to these things so he just snagged the first one he could get ahold of and eyed the screen.
A bucket of ice was dumped over his head.
Positive.
Two blue lines held so much power. His ears were ringing and he barely heard your frantic knocking on the door.
"Um Joker? Y-You're too quiet. I-I’m coming in." You opened the door and took one look at a frozen Joker holding a pregnancy test and feared the worst.
Judging by his schooled features, you already knew the results but you had to see for yourself. You picked up the other three tests on the counter but did a double take.
"What? They’re negative. Oh my God. They’re negative! J, I'm not--" You turned to show Joker but he had already shook himself out of his daze and snatched the tests from your hands.
Joker's warped mind was playing tricks on him. It had to be. Because these tests were negative. He conferred with the one in his hand but it remained that life altering, positive.
Joker was conflicted and his green eyes darted up at you. Your smile faded seeing his intense emeralds, "J, what's wrong?"
"Thisssss one is positive. I'm calling the doc." He threw them all into the wastebin and was about to leave when you stepped in his path.
"Joker, wait! Three out of four, I think its safe to agree with the majority here." You were feeling back to normal now your pregnacy scare was past you but Joker was still fighting his delusions.
"I wanna be sure, Light. I'm not trusting a uhh drugstore test with somethin' like this." He rested his forehead against yours and you could feel his hands shaking as they cupped your face.
This was really getting to him. You peered through your lashes at J. He wouldn't let this go until he knew for sure from a professional. You covered his hands with your own. It was your turn to be strong and be there for Joker.
You kissed him softy and he chased after you when you broke away. "Okay, J, you can call Sarai."
He sighed and tugged you closer for the time being. You didn't know who needed this hug the most; you or Joker.
Your eyes naturally fell to the wastebin where the tests lay, mocking you and J.
There was a palpable change in the air. This interaction changed the future for you and J. In the heat of the moment, neither of you considered protection. It was scary to think this could have ended very differently. You were sighing in relief but Joker was at odds with the outcome. Even with his fears put to rest, a small part of him wanted all four tests to be positive.
Simply because it would be a journey to experience with you.
