Klown Headcanons: (Killer Klowns from Outer Space, 1988)
General Headcanons: 
(TW for this section of headcanons. There are mentions of Klowns killing people/ animals, topics of mating/ breeding brought up - not explicit) some of these headcanons melt into more observation territory, but I try to expand on what I've learned either by the film or game. Also, I'm new to the Killer Klowns world, I've always known about Killer Klowns, but it never seemed interesting to me until I saw the Klowns. They're absolutely adorable, and I would die for them.
Each Klown has their own choice of comedy, it's like their second language. This is also a significant way of finding mates amongst each other, trying to impress their partners with laughs. I will list the Klowns' different types of humor below when I talk about each individual Klown. 
Every Klown has their own unique ability, that they learn over time to perfect it/ make it stronger. These abilities are learned in their youth and it's unique to the one Klown who has it (a lot of powers are similar but no two abilities are the same) some abilities can be taught to other Klowns, some can't.  
Lackeys (from the game) are a thing on their planet and serve as the Earth equivalent as an intern. The Lackeys go on invasion missions to learn how to later in life take over planets. This category of Klowns are substantially younger than the main cast of Klowns that take over Earth. There can be older lackeys but it's not very common and they are more likely to be sent back home because they’re a bit too slow for the younger Klowns. Proving to be invaluable to the team. 
They need to be cold. It’s due to their atmosphere back on their planet. Their bodies have to be colder to survive. Their version of a cool 71°F is about 62° .Around 50-60 degrees, which is perfect for them.
Klowns do not need water. Unlike humans, Klowns can have water but it has zero nutritional value. Unless it had a good bit of sugar in it. Klowns get their main source of energy from sugar. Their choice of their main food being human is because human blood is the sweetest compared to creatures of different planets. Adding cotton candy sugars to melt them down is like adding 8 bags of sugar to a gallon of sweet tea. To a Klown however, it's like having 4 protein shakes. 
There are certain foods Klowns would either have a natural allergen to, or they would be very adverse to it. I think one of these foods would be fish. I think a big reason for them hating fish is because it wouldn't melt right in the cocoons and would ruin the flavor. It's hard to make a fish sweet. It would be wasteful to the cocoon materials. If they're not allergic to the food, giving them one of these foods would make them violently ill. I like to think if a food they eat has too much salt in it would have this effect.
Speaking of their food, they also enjoy hunting humans the most for the chase. Nothing runs quite like people when they are freaked out. This is where the sadistic side of the Klowns really show (Some more than others). It’s just fun for some of the Klowns to play around with their food before finally cocooning them. Also, as seen in the film, no one is safe. Children and pets included. They're especially disrespectful to law enforcement/ anyone they would deem their rulers. 
This is already alluded to in the film, but I really like the idea that Klowns have already been visiting Earth (and other planets) for centuries before the events of the film and this is where the idea of Earth clowns came from. I’d like to add other things some poor souls might have gotten ideas from because they escaped the Klowns would probably include balloons, cars, the circus in general, the idea of aliens. A variety of things have accidentally been introduced to humans by Klowns over the many, many years they've tried to kill them. 
There are dinosaurs on their planet (as seen in concept art from Charles Chiodo) . I think this is so cute. I love dinos !!! Gushing aside, I’d like to add to this also. I think they also have other extinct animals on their planet, like mermaids, unicorns, mammoths, dodos, ect. I also think they actually have cryptids on their planet and the Klowns are not the scariest things on their planet. Some Klowns keep these creatures as pets also and they take animals from other planets as souvenirs/ keep them as pets if they don’t die from the different atmosphere. 
There's various ways of having and raising their offspring on their planet. The babies can either be made in hoards in a breeding facility. The facility is mainly used for invasion trips, making plenty of eggs / popcorn babies for the Klowns to take on their trip to distribute across the invaded planets. The Klowns don’t look down on either which way their babies are made, but most Klowns (if they’re not planning on going on an invasion) they typically prefer to have one mate and their own set of offspring to themselves. They mate for life with only one partner and they have two options on raising their offspring. They can either raise them themselves, or they can be given to a care center, where there are Klowns who specialize in caring for the little Klowns of various stages. They sometimes also engage in child exchange - where the Klowns give their offspring to a couple who cannot naturally have offspring. 
All Klowns are like family. Towards other species, they are cold blooded and cruel, but to each other they treat all other Klowns like family. Sure there are fights, but it's usually quickly resolved. There just isn't any sense in their own species fighting or killing one another. Obviously Klown death happens by the hands of other Klowns, it’s just very rare and odds are it would happen by the hands of a higher ranked Klown.  
Klowns CAN pierce their skin, but very few have it done (Rosebud had her ears pierced, from what I could see) Tattoos aren't a thing for Klowns. I feel like if Klowns were gonna have tattoos, Spikey would have some. 
Each Klown has their own specific set of knowledge and interests when visiting other planets. Some of them, while hunting, also want to explore the amenities of their prey (Like when Shorty and Rudy were rummaging through the convenience store) and some of them want nothing more than to just wreak havoc (Spikey and Slim come to mind when I think of the more chaos causers’). 
I know it’s a common theory, but I personally do not believe the capturing of humans through the balloon method has anything to do with turning a human into a Klown. The balloon serves as a capture tactic, specifically towards women (as far as we see in the film), but there’s no concrete proof that Klowns are taking only female humans in balloons. And I definitely don’t think they’re using humans as anything other than food. Perhaps accessories or study purposes. I think balloons serve as a type of way to store humans (like how we put cold foods in the fridge or freezers). The balloon slowly suffocates the human, killing them. But there may also be a type of air in the balloon that marinates the human/ makes them taste a certain way they enjoy. (Yes, i know i made my oc a human turned Klown. It's still fun to play around with the ideas. And it’s an interesting concept, I just don’t think it’s logical to the film, ya know?)
Just like on their invasion trip in Crescent Cove, Klowns are just as clumsy and awkward on their own planet. Their movements are supposed to be looked at as silly and uncoordinated (as per a clown). There are some causes to their mobility, the air pressure between worlds being vastly different. 
On their planet they don’t have shelves or stores like human versions. So none of the Klowns have to worry about being clumsy and falling over things. 
They don’t have a set schedule for minor things like sleeping. If you’re tired, go to bed. In Rudy’s case, he takes small naps throughout the entire day. Like 20 minute naps every 3 or 4 hours. 
All Klowns' noses are severely sensitive. It's a bit of a bump in the road for them (Evolutionary wise) when the most important part of their anatomy that could immediately kill them is smack in the middle of their face. Their noses are sensitive, but hitting them on the nose won’t kill them immediately. It has to be the force of, say a bullet. A very powerful, quick force. Along with their nose, they are also sensitive to loud noises. 
I like the headcanon that the Klowns nuzzle their mate's nose as a sign of immense trust and bonding, that’s just a cute thought. I love it. I’d like to add to the headcanon that if a Klown obtains a mate, even early into the relationship, they instinctively cover each other's nose to protect them.
Klowns look a lot like their larva self. They are born with pre determined facial markings and a hairstyle, they just won't be more prominent until they get older.
Headcanons Relating to Specific Klowns: 
(These headcanons include general headcanons, romantic headcanons, hypotheticals all mixed into one) TW:// some entries may include NSFW implications, mentions of death or killing, creepy Klowns that murder. Mentions of depression and suicidal ideation (not explicit, but mentioned) 
Rudy:
In terms of his type of comedy, Rudy likes/ uses a mesh of dark comedy and dry humor. Very deadpan and oblivious to his own jokes but loves it when his mate uses it. He thinks it's hilarious. 
He loves saying things that would normally be enthusiastic, but he says them deadpan. Just totally uninterested. 
Personality wise I think Rudy likes to study things and take his time learning what he can. As seen from when he first encountered the ladies at the store, he’s just as much a prankster as his comrades, tricking the girls into thinking he was an animatronic. Very fast thinking on his part. In general, he's very patient and observational. 
He is very nonchalant about EVERYTHING. Big Top could be crashing and burning, but Rudy: 😑
Would be a goofy dad. “Are ya winning, son?” Always making modern references and his kid just looks at him like no plz dad ;; ur killing me. He loves his child though. Very protective, very affectionate towards them. Cuddles are reserved for his mate and baby only, obviously.
I love the headcanon Rudy is a sleepy little guy ;; Because it’s so true. Look at him, look at those eyes. Sleep deprivation eyes. 
Giving him coffee would most definitely not work on him. Not because he’s an alien life form, but because he has adhd. Rudy gives me major adhd vibes. He's so busy around the ship because he is forgetting things almost all the time due to this.
He likes to learn through television. He’ll get so invested in what’s on the screen, he’ll forget what he was doing in the moment (someone please let him know not to trust everything he hears on media) 
Is the most curious of the Klowns, being more interested in sitting in the background and watching, BUT-
Rudy, in his free time, also likes to move around and would love a partner who dances along with him randomly or sings with him. As seen in The Dickies’ music video, Rudy is actually kind of a “star of the show” type guy, despite being more reserved on hunts, not doing anything too insane.
This shows me Rudy values stealth in hunting. Being a trapper would require stealth and observation from afar. But outside hunts? Rudy is… well, a clown! He likes cutting back and having fun with his coworkers. 
Likes hanging out with Shorty and Bibbo specifically. I could see the 3 of them causing chaos at an amusement park, having a blast on the scarier rides and all three of them raiding the concession stands. 
If Rudy was to take an interest in anything humans created, it would be rubix cubes or puzzles in general. 
Works with babies on his planet so he’s very gentle and patient when teaching others things. He is very, very hard to upset or frustrate 
Would be a pro at pictionary, not because he can draw well but because he thinks outside the box quickly. 
The way he shows his mate appreciation is through gift giving. In his mind, his mate deserves the world, so Rudy goes out of his way getting things for his mate. Would do the thing where he would find a pretty rock on the ground and would give it to his mate because it reminded him of them. Very cute. He’s also very doting to his mate. Rudy’s love language is quality time. He loves spending time with his mate. He loves cuddling with them and spending time watching shows with them. 
He also really likes it when his mate remembers small things about him. He really appreciates their efforts to think about his interests. 
I feel like Rudy would enjoy long story shows or shows he can get invested in with his mate and stick with it for a while. Shows like Grey's Anatomy, Criminal Minds, Game of Thrones. Honestly with Rudy, the more dramatic the show the better.
Spikey: 
Type of humor: Spikey uses more low brow humor. He says out of pocket things for the sake of being funny. Being a Klown, most of it is funny, it’s just random and out there.
Theater Kid Energy and a thrill seeker. The amusement park rides are not enough in terms of excitement to him. Direct him to the nearest 350 ft rollercoaster where you have to lay down (eugh… just thinking of that has me 😵‍💫)
Spikey, like Rudy, would love a mate who would randomly dance with him. He's not too much of a singer, but if you like to sing and you sing to him, even if it's “not the best” he would melt because of your voice.
Would not be interested in being a parent. The idea to him never looked appealing. He’s just not father material in his own eyes.
If by chance, Spikey ended up having a child and his mate was adamant on keeping it, he would be extremely doubtful of himself. Constantly questioning if he’s doing something wrong and terrified he would accidentally hurt his child. He ends up being the BEST parent. These are just internal thoughts that scare him. He’s very doting to his mate and child, always making sure all their needs are met and spoiling his little family. After a while, these thoughts would leave Spikey’s head and he would be a more confident parent. 
Would 100% do puppet shows for his child to calm them down and watch cartoons with them. 
Isn’t depressed but has thought of death more than once in life. Wouldn’t say he’s depressed at least. He’s just interested in the thought of what happens after they die? Klowns don’t really have a “God” per say… so I think a lot of Klowns would go through this thought process at least once. 
Is immune to being sick. Man has never thrown up in his life. 
^ From the previous point, he would be bitter about never being sick. Would feel excluded and would definitely ask “Am I Not Good Enough To Be Sick?? >:I 
He wants to be the surprising one out of the bunch and makes a big deal out of everything. In almost a cry for attention sort of way.  
He would be the most caring lover out of all the Klowns. Spikey gives off touch starved energy to me. He makes it up with his comedy type and being a lapdog to his mate. Constantly following them and making sure everything is okay all the time. Spikey is the type of partner to give his mate a goofy grin and wave from across the room, even if you've been together for years. Never leaves the puppy love phase for his mate. 
If he knew what it was, Spikey would love any sort of action video game. Some games I feel like he would enjoy are Contraband Police, GTA 5, Maneater, Outlast and Resident Evil. He would surprisingly be scared shitless out of the scarier games, but wouldn't admit to it. 
IS A TERRIBLE DRIVER. Do not let this man behind the wheel of ANY vehicle! Invisible or otherwise. Would treat street signs as checkpoints.
At home, he has like 10 exotic pets. At least one of them being a balloon animal that he was too proud of to let go. Don’t worry, he’s a really good animal dad.
On occasion Spikey really likes eating bananas. He HAS to leave the peel just lying around so he can watch someone else's downfall. Literally. 
Would be a huge cuddle bug. He wouldn’t want offspring but he would worship his mate. 
And he isn’t shy about showing others he’s in love. He’s all over his mate anywhere they go. Whether that’s cuddles, holding hands, kisses, scalp massages, shoulder rubs. If his mate is uncomfortable with PDA, he can learn to tone it down. But it must be made up in private, he just wants to be so close to his mate. Touch starved asshole. 
Does Drugs recreationally (loves if his mate joins him, but wouldn't love them any less if they didn't of course) 
If you can make him laugh, he’s putty in your hands. OR vice versa, if he really likes you and likes your laugh, he’ll be yours forever. He's a sucker for cut loose laughs. Ya know those unhinged, crazed laughs you can't control? It's his way of knowing you're comfortable enough with him to ugly laugh with him.
Gentle Hands! He has to have gentle hands to do the types of complex balloon animals he does and does not let his gifts go to waste on just the balloon animals, if you catch my drift. 
Cross dresses sometimes. He does not give a single shit about beauty standards, Klown or otherwise. ( I saw fem Spikey, now I suddenly have a huge crush on Spikey thnx ) 
In terms of being a mate, Spikey is very theatrical. In both the romantic sense and just being over the top in general. He makes a lot of grand gestures towards his mate.  
He loves cuddling and watching shows with his mate. He likes more comedic shows that will have him and his mate in stitches. He's not above watching cartoons, this man adores SpongeBob you can't tell me he doesn't. He gives off that he would enjoy movies like the Jurassic Park series (ya know what? If there's a monster in it, he's watching it), Godzilla, Eight Legged Freaks. 
Shorty: 
He Loves slapstick humor. Shorty loves it when a joke has been building up and he can see the outcome from a mile away but then when the joke happens it's funnier than you expect. Found his love for this type of comedy through accidentally watching a whole episode of Looney Toons.  
Absolutely uses his size to his advantage when hunting humans, knowing most of them have a soft spot for smaller creatures. Also uses this to his advantage in terms of being able to fit into smaller spaces (Pizza Box Scene). He loves popping out of places nobody expects him to be and I find that hilarious. 
Being a bit smaller than the others also gives him a few extra points for speed.
He canonically smells like pepperoni pizza, Sour candy and death. This is interesting, and I think this is a hunting tactic he uses. Covering himself with the scent of pepperoni pizza and candy, but his natural scent being death because he’s constantly killing people. 
I actually think Shorty would enjoy pizza and sour candy… together. He would like the most outlandish foods put together. Like peanut butter and mustard. 
Shorty, as a mate, would find the cutesy, cheesy stuff really sweet and endearing. Like late night walks in a beautiful place, being on the Farris wheel with his mate, cuddling up to them if they're scared. 
Shorty shows a lot of curious tendencies and likes tagging along with Rudy to check out places on their invasions. He steals some of Rudy’s souvenirs. 
Shorty and Rudy, on these trips, have become the best of friends. 
He loves niche things like paintings of dogs playing poker. Do they really do that? Are they broken when he sees them? Who thought of this?? 
He loves car shows, BUT make them clown cars. Can it throw pies? Does the beep sound funny? He’s in love. 
Will not tolerate bullies. In any scenario. He’s always rooting for the underdog. 
Shorty is the Klown that would love to have kids and would be a good parent
He loves having someone around who wants to be with him just as much. Shorty brings his kids everywhere with him (unless it's dangerous of course) 
Has a softer spot for animals than the rest of the Klowns, he thinks they're fascinating. Like birds and turtles are his faves. 
When it comes to movies or tv, Shorty really appreciates the beauty of the film. Things like the new Super Mario Movie comes to mind. He loves movies like that! Bouncy, bright and fun. 
Jumbo: 
Type of comedy for Jumbo is wordplay. He loves him a good pun, dad jokes are his weakness. Old school jokes are dear to him and he has a huge soft spot for them. 
Huge father figure to the main group, he lives for these invasion trips with “the boys”. 
He doesn't pick favorites, but out of everyone he talks to Slim the most 
Jumbo tolerates very little nonsense. Despite this, he is not easy to piss off. He’s spent a lot of time on the Big Top with Jojo and knows how to train his Klown comrades to catch and kill prey. 
Jumbo is the most conniving of all the Klowns. He is extremely vengeful and loves finding the pain of his prey funny. 
He doesn’t really like animals other than to eat. He needs sugar to live, but he prefers the chewy texture of the meat in his prey.  
Is the least emotional of the Klowns. He just doesn't have the time of day to care about miniscule problems. However, if he notices a Klown genuinely going through a hard time, Jumbo is one of the first Klowns to notice and take action. He’s a good listener and is good at lending some good advice. 
Best dad, in terms of making sure his child is safe. Wouldn’t be super interested in actively playing with his child, or watching their shows with them. But if his kid had a bully, he would be the first to know and the last to see the bully. But nobody’s gonna say anything. You even look at his child (or mate for that matter), he would show his frustrations with action. Protectively guarding his family, growling at the threat, mallet in hand to pummel them. 
Is not an animal person, would rather have a child than a pet. Sees pets as pointless. 
He doesn’t really have any interest in human made things, and wouldn't really like watching TV or digging through shops of any kind. 
He loves the chase for his prey, if he had a mate that would probably be his go to quality time. Or time in a familiar place to him, like the amusement park or a circus. 
He would show his mate he loved them by gift giving. He isn’t the most romantic Klown, but rest assured he absolutely loves his mate. 
Being one of the older Klowns, Jumbo has been on more invasion trips than the rest of the Klowns, so he knows the ropes of the hunt and the ship and teaches the other Klowns how to act towards Jojo. “Do Not Bother Him, Please”, is his advice. 
To some, Jumbo comes off as an intimidating being, but not to fear! He’s actually quite sweet. He loves his Klown comrades. When he finds out Klowns are on their first time invasion trip, he might give them a small celebratory gift. 
Is the closest to Jojo, reporting to him sometimes and they chat casually from time to time. Jumbo has known Jojo long enough to know what makes him tick, when to leave the room so he doesn’t bother him and what Jojo expects of his crew. 
Jumbo’s love language is HUGS. He loves to cuddle with his mate. He really is a big teddy bear. 
Has an interest in the fun house aesthetic. Ball pits, Balloons, Rainbow cake. He loves all of it. 
Would enjoy older cartoons that used to come on saturday mornings (Tom and Jerry, Spongebob, Looney Toons)
Very plays it safe. Jumbo, while violent and creative during hunts, normally doesn’t do things out of the ordinary unlike a lot of his buddies on the ship. 
Secretly has a deep fascination with human sports. Would never admit it, but Jumbo loves how divided people get over teams and how violent it can get. 
He could watch humans fight forever. It’s amusing to him. Why do they do this? 
Slim: 
His main type of comedy is a mix between ironic humor and satire. I feel like Slim would vibe with adult swim cartoons (Family Guy, American Dad,..The Simpsons) not cartoon network but he would like Parks and Rec, too. The first scene where Leslie falls down the hill.. when everyone told her to be careful, but she kept saying I'm a professional, something like that would take Slim out. 
The third oldest on the Big Top (right after Jojo and Jumbo) 
Is more stern than Spikey, but definitely more lenient than Jumbo or Jojo. 
During the movie, it would be Slim’s seventh trip to Earth. He has fond memories of chasing and killing humans and offering the landing spot up to Jojo. Knowing the land a bit, Slim goes out with Jumbo to inspect the area before the invasion starts. 
Is one of the more physically strong Klowns. Can easily pick up things 3 times his weight. 
Finds more of an interest in human made circuses than the other Klowns, liking that they got the Klown aspects so close. He often wonders to himself how the humans that got away saw so much before escaping
It’s a bit tougher to kill Slim by his nose. No one is really sure why this is. 
He’s actually really a fighter when it comes to himself. He’s a tough cookie and will NOT die easily. 
When it comes to aim, Slim is horrible at aiming weapons/ projectiles. 
Slim really likes the creepy forest aesthetic. His favorite holiday tradition would probably be haunted hay rides through spooky forests on Halloween. He wouldn’t sit through one, but they're fun in theory… could use more mallets in his opinion. 
Secretly, he would enjoy reality shows (like a Klown version though, he has no interest in human issues) 
Has a morbid curiosity towards true crime shows. But does not have the patience to sit through the whole story, so he’ll fast forward through just to see what happened. Does that thing where he HAS to know what happens at the end of things, but is very short in patience. Slim has things to do, he doesn't have time to wait! 
Is a master at shadow puppetry, knowing how to entrance his prey with whimsical shadow art and capturing them in said puppets. This trick of his he just learned recently, liking the idea of showing off his new skills. 
Personality wise, Slim is one of the more straightforward Klowns on the ship. He runs as a second in command and sometimes lets the power go to his head. 
As a mate, Slim is very unique. Almost as high energy as Spikey, but as strict as Jumbo. He takes his work very seriously but has his moments where he cuts back and jokes around with everyone. Wild Card. 
Is a bit rougher with his mate, but he doesn’t mean any malice with it. He is more protective than the other Klowns but likes to play around with his mate. He knows when to be serious with his mate. When he gets serious, he’s much more affectionate and careful with them. 
Technologically the smartest Klown. He helps make the weapons they bring on the invasion. 
He has a friendship with Spikey that’s very hot and cold. Sometimes they get along, other times they fight. Spikey doesn’t always agree with Slim’s points of authority. Slim doesn't always like how childish and dramatic Spikey is. 
Has a lot of fun while hunting, like the other Klowns, this is a very therapeutic thing for him. 
Also really likes monster movies, Slim would like more comedic horror monster movies though. Like Tremors, Eight Legged Freaks, Jaws, Gremlins.
Has a deep, irrational fear of trains. Man finds it super unsettling that they stop for nothing and they scream at you 
He likes to act tough, so he would never say out loud that he’s afraid of anything. 
Slim loves sunglasses. He likes darker spaces because his eyes are a bit sensitive. 
When it comes to kids, Slim would think he would be a terrible parent, and would be. He wouldn’t be the worst parent, but he would be like “this thing is my kid? Why the hell does it make so much noise??” He would be willing to work together with his mate and they would be a power parent couple, but him by himself? He would be so awkward. 
Now, this does not mean he would be a total chaos dad, he has little moments where he’s unintentionally very sweet with his child. And when the baby gets older is when Slim truly shines. Him and his kids are inseparable! They’re best friends when the kid hits the tween area. 
Fatso: 
His comedy type is the type of humor that would get a little kid laughing. He likes slapstick, cringe humor. Someone tripping on something, or the banana peel gag, Fatso loves it! 
Is the most reserved of the Klowns. 
He is secretly a romantic guy, but secretly! He doesn't want his buddies thinking he’s weak. 
He finds some human things interesting. Like their ability to put things together and it doesn’t taste terrible? Witch craft. A doughnut burger? He’s drooling. 
Is not shy about eating human made foods. He likes pies, has a soft spot for chocolate and sweeter pastries. He gets cravings for chocolate, but his favorite flavoring is a toss up between strawberry and cherry. Something about the tart flavors. 
He loves birthdays! Sometimes they invite clowns to the party? That's so touching ;; and birthday cake is a masterpiece. He hates fondant though.
Speaking of foods he dislikes, he hates peanut butter, I would even go as far as to say Fatso is allergic to peanut butter. To him it’s got this chalky texture and it grosses him out. It’s hard for him to swallow. 
Gives great cuddles and is very sweet to his mate. Could take naps with his mate forever. And loves just doing things with them. Invite him places! He adores following his mate into little shops and watching his mate look at/ pick things out of the stores. Or whatever they're doing that day, he’s an active follower. He’s also a very good listener, if you want to just sit at a resting spot and talk about your day. 
He likes small, cute animals. He can’t help himself. Baby ducks? Adorable. I could absolutely see Fatso holding a baby duckling gently and petting it with one finger ;; such a sweet boy. This doesn’t take away from the fact he will eventually eat the animal he thinks is cute. 
He gets his species' version of seasonal depression. He volunteers for invasion trips all the time because the trips relieve his symptoms a bit. 
Fatso is the most emotional of the Klowns. This could be brought on by his depression but it’s not entirely clear. But the other Klowns make it clear they are there for him and talk to him about it. It’s not the same as having a mate and being able to talk to them, but it’s still nice and he’s grateful for his friends. 
Hates thinking ahead. He lives in the moment and likes to have fun now, not later. Spikey and Slim (when they’re chill with each other) are very good at taking Fatso out of his own head for a bit and taking him out on the town for fun times. 
Despite his condition, Fatso does not let his emotions get to him! He’s the sweetest (well.. As sweet a Killer Klown could be..) and he likes to have fun. 
Has a sweet spot for high stakes cooking shows. They hypnotize him and they take his mind off things. 
Things he would look for in a mate would include the ability to show him he matters and he is fun to be around. His love language would fall under the categories Words of Affirmation and Physical Touch. He loves cuddles and being close to his mate. 
These were fun to do and I might add more at a later date ^^ If you have any questions or requests, I’ll do my best to reply (I struggle with wanting to throw everything I write into a bin after I've crumpled it lol)

Easter eggs
A spaceship — looking like a circus tent — lands in a field near a small town, signaling the attack of deviant, red-nosed, balloon-twisting psychos from another world who plan to annihilate mankind — by turning people into cotton candy! Luckily, the town's teen citizenry decides to fight back and teach the cosmic bozos a lesson. But these klowns are no klutzes, turning popcorn, peanuts and caramel corn into playful — but deadly — weapons of madcap destruction and mayhem!

Una rosa
rossa di luce del sole;
la faccia a pezzi nel garage,
come un puzzle:
i petali sono unti
come pancetta affumicata vecchia
e cadono
come le vergini del mondo
schienate sul pavimento
e alzo lo sguardo
sul vecchio calendario
appeso a un chiodo
e tocco
la mia faccia rugosa
e sorrido
perché
il segreto
mi sfugge

Killer Klowns from Outer Space
Horror Movie Mini-Review: Movie 14 of ?? 
IMDB Summary: Aliens who look like clowns come from outer space and terrorize a small town.
Nonsensical Thoughts: 
From costumes, soundtrack, to the goofy performances and script, you really can't top the incredible experience that is watching Killer Klowns.
Honestly, there is something so pure about this 80's clown filled nightmare that I recommend everyone watch it at least once.
So hey, if you are feeling down, there is no better movie to knock a sad boi's block off than Killer Klowns from Outer Space.
