Hi chaossss
pls could you do joker with a talkative reader who maybe often gets told she talks to much. How your well ! I love your work so much !
heyyy hi my sweet summer anon🖤✨
yeah let's see if I can whip something up 🤔 I personally cannot relate so if I get this wrong, ask me again my love!
You talk too much. Four words you hear constantly; its less of an insult and more so an observation. You've grown to tolerate it because its true.
Words spill from your mouth like a waterfall. You hate the silence and find it much easier to fill than escape it.
Awkward situations? Yeah, you are breaking the ice and rambling nonstop to the point that people roll their eyes.
You share your life story with complete strangers in line for coffee and yes its super easy for you to make friends anytime anywhere.
Keeping them is the hard part because you just can't stop talking and most people want to add in their two cents during a convo. Not Joker though. Let's discuss him a lil shall we?
Carrying on a conversation singlehandedly? Light work (pun intended) Joker has fallen in love with the sound of your voice and he is very content with listening to you talk for hours as he dozes off.
Make no mistake, Joker is listening, its just that you leave no room for him to interject, and he's perfectly OK with that.
This hc of Joker is less talkative to give you center stage. Imagine that. 😦 (I'm writing that down for a future fic idea)
You ramble so much that you accidentally say things you don't mean to reveal. Seconds later, you give a cute, "oops forget I said that.."
Joker remembers. He collects your little blunders like Infinity Stones.
I find for this hc, Joker love language would be acts of service or quality time. Hear me out!!
Joker remembers you saying in passing that you needed to gas up or etc. and he just does it for you. No big scene is made about it.
This man simply l i s t e n s. He enjoys being in your presence and hearing you speak anon.
He leaves post-it notes around the penthouse as his form of communication. "Don't forget to...." or "Gonna be late 2nite, love ya" You read them aloud when he's not around to fill the silence.
Sending voice messages is your go-to except they're like seven plus minutes long and yes, Joker saves every single one.
Does Joker wear earbuds to listen to them during heists? Yes he does! You yapped his ear off mid bank robbery without knowing it.
Stopping for a breather? Girl, that's for amateurs. He's in love with the way you steam roll through a sentence because you talk fast and efficiently.
Every word is carefully selected as they tumble from your lips. You don't stutter or um um um your way through, which makes hearing you speak kinda feel like a performance.
You talk through movies, while brushing your teeth, or in the dead of night right before Joker falls asleep. You don't shut up.
You even talk in your sleep and Joker finds it so endearing. His little chatter box. He just smirks and leaves his ears open for you. Silence is an old friend whenever you're near.
But when you do go silent? Oh Joker is in panic mode.
When Joker returns home, he expects you to be talking to yourself while cooking dinner, on the phone with a friend, or chatting to your livestream. Hearing your voice is home to him.
Without it, the voices in his head emerge and run amok. No, Joker needs you—he needs the noise you provide to keep the demons at bay.
So when walks into the living room to dead silence, he's panicking. He finds you in the bedroom, sitting up journaling. Not making a sound.
Joker approaches with caution. He has never seen you not talking.. something is wrong and he honestly doesn't know how to fix it.
You look up and offer a tight smile as greeting. No hello, no launch into your day... Joker is left with resolute silence.
For once, he is the one that has to fill the void and he doesn't realize how hard it is until the responsibility is upon his shoulders.
"Uh.." even his voice betrays him. When was the last time he spoke? J clears his throat and tries again. "You alright Bun?"
Thankfully you crack the ice. "Yeah." Although not by much. Joker is at a loss.
You go back to writing and Joker is left scratching his head near the door. Finally he sucks up the feeling and imitates you.
"You're too quiet. Say something! Anything! Uh how was your day? Did ya visit the farmer's market on Harper's St? I know you and Cass had a girl's brunch. Did she and... what's his name? Whatever his name is get back together? Your boss! Did ya talk to him about the Stagg extension? I hope ya did. C'mon Bun, I ain't one for words. That’s your department.. help me out here."
You sniffle at Joker's desperation. All those things did happen today and you would love to give him a detailed recap but your boss's words that morning still sting.
"Why don't you shut up for once and listen? I pity your boyfriend with all your blabbering."
You normally don't let others words get to you but today, his words stuck. You know you talk a lot.. too much in fact.
Joker never gets a word in. You talk 24/7 and he's bound to be annoyed by it. He has every right to leave to finally get some peace and quiet.
The harsh criticism hung over you all day and before you knew it, you went a full eight hours without saying a word.
Now Joker was begging you to talk. You were torn. That is until Joker turned the tides.
"Bun, I don't care what anyone says. I will never tell you to shut up. I like hearin' ya talk. I want you to talk my ear off. Right. Now. In fact, if ya don't start talking, I'll.. I'll.."
Joker's green eyes twinkled with the promise of bloodshed and you sprung into action.
"I'll talk, I'll talk! My stupid boss made me feel a bit insecure but I should've known it wasn't true! You’re never annoyed by me talking and..."
Joker sighed in relief. You were on a rant with no end in sight. This he could handle. This was his normal.
With a fond smile, J climbed into bed and played with your fingers as you began recapping your entire day.
