Fic concept: Jason Todd following the clown code of ethics to spite the joker, and getting accepted into the clowns of America on accident, refusing to admit it was an accident, and lording it over the joker forever. He and Harley have weekly āactual clowns in Gotham meetingā which is just their code word for therapy
#jason todd#clown code of ethics#harley quinn#Iām thinking maybe goon named Jeff submits him for the clowns of Americaās approval thinking thatās what boss wants#Jasonās clown egg is so cute#itās half his mask and half the domino underneath#the clowns of America let some things Jason had done slide specifically to spite the joker#they hold a grudge for ruining their good name in Gotham

Based off the idea another poster said that another reason why Dick HATES the Joker is bc he gives a bad name to clowns.
Joker: HeeeheehahaAHAHAHA WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY NIGHTWING? Daddy isnāt here to stop you! What are you going to do?
Nightwing: You are a disgrace to the art of clownery.
Joker: wha?
Nightwing: You have broken EVERY rule in the clown code of ethics.
Joker: Thereās a-
Nightwing: RULE NUMBER ONE! I will keep my acts, performance and behavior in good taste while I am in costume and makeup. I will remember at all times that I have been accepted as a member of the clown club only to provide others, principally children, with clean clown comedy entertainment. I will remember that a good clown entertains others by making fun of themselves and not at the expense or embarrassment of others.
Joker: uh-
Nightwing: You break the first clown commandment EVERY DAY!
Joker: I-
Nightwing now angry crying: You do not deserve to call your self a clown.
Joker: ā¦

Pinkie Pie would find all versions of the Joker kinda cringe (except for The LEGO Batman Movieās Joker, obviously). She thinks Harley Quinn is really cool, though! š
And yes, every version of the Joker is a huge Pinkie Pie fan. Even the super gritty and dark ones.

#pinkie doesnāt like the joker cause like what the heck?? he kills people??? thatās totally against the clown code of ethics š¤#she would like harley quinn cause her costume more closely resembles a harlequin outfit#the joker is simply not silly enough š¤·āāļø#mlp#batman

I keep thinking about how much Kaboodle's lifesteal stream today reminded me of Euridice in act one of Hadestown. Up until now she thought that having allies might protect her, its why she's been trying to hard to make sure she and Zam have a good relationship (even if it sometimes backfires) but now that resources are so limited its harder to craft hearts and if she gets banned there is a chance that it will be impossible to bring her back.
Kaboodle is Euridice and the storm is coming, without strong allies, without a nearly foolproof plan, she might not survive. Hades (Clown in this case) makes her an offer. If she can steal enough hearts she will have his protection, its a really good deal except for the fact that she might just be sacrificing all her allies and relationships that she has been spending months developing and strengthening.
Historically the only person Kab has been willing to put before herself is Clown but I think that might be changing. I think Zam might fit in there somewhere too. But she's scared, and when ls!Kab is scared she does whatever she needs to in order to make herself feel safe again.
If she doesn't take this chance, if she doesn't put herself first this time, even if it means screwing everyone else over she feels like she would be putting herself at risk of getting permanently banned; a situation in which she would have no control, so she needs to take that control as soon as she can.
She has her principles, under normal circumstances she would be sticking to them to, ls!Kab does try to stick to a code of ethics, as fucked up and murky as it might be sometimes. The news 4cvit gave her today pulled the rug out from under her and she is terrified. At the end of the day I think they would all understand. Hate her? maybe. Resent her? sure. Try to get revenge? almost certaintly. But they all Understand.

hey! Did you hear! Thereās an oc tournament by @tf2shipswag making its way around! Maybe do a clown a favor and support him on his road to success!
Heās a 40-something year old Italian man whoās technically not a legal clown on account of his constant defiance of the clown code of ethics! Armani Barone is a support class character meant to get all eyes (and weapons) on him. Heās got colorful bombs and paintball guns and the occasional cartoonish pie aimed directly at your face, whatās not to love?

Merrie is now planned to have a second form known by others as 'Mimi', being a more serious and street-appropriate version of her that I thought of after checking the Clown Code of Ethics to be sure that Merrie's actions and ACTs were appropriate to the real rules of clowning!
The idea itself has existed since January 1st, with it also being inspired by the transformation between Rainbow the Clown and Mr. Mime in The Powerpuff Girls!

"wonder if Rose has a crush on her too"
ok I have been trying to avoid talking TOO much about shipping unless/until it comes up in the story but. after reading this post I cannot stop myself
I definitely think Rose might have a crush on Jade! we know Rose both considers herself an intellectual, enjoying wordplay and conversations with people who challenge her, AND had an interest in the occult, eldritch, and cryptic. I think she likes things that are beyond her comprehension because she feels like she understands people/the material world already and while she wants to be smart, she also wants to continue learning. So Jade is kinda like catnip to Rose in this way - she will always challenge Rose because by her nature she is mysterious and hard to interpret, she has her dream self and waking self and Rose will always be guessing which one she is talking to in the moment, trying to figure out how Jade's powers work and whether/how they are verifiable, trying to be one step ahead of Jade even though she knows deep down that that isn't possible. I think that's compelling to Rose, and would 100% make her develop feelings for someone!
TT: It's so hard to tell when you're joking. TT: Or if you're even capable of it. (p.442)
^ tell me she doesn't love trying to figure this out!! and to say more on this - Rose asks if she should 'expect' a package from Jade, and she doesn't really seem like the type to ask for favors, gifts, etc from others. She's very independent and likes to act like she doesn't need anyone, so this line is surprising! She's also very deferent to Jade in their other conversation - while she does question 'So are you sure today is the day?' she trust Jade's yes 100%. Dave having a crush on Jade (and him being aware of it) is true and real to me because his interactions with her are so different to his usual persona and his interactions with his other friends, and the same argument can be made for Rose with Jade I think! they only have two conversations so far but, whether platonic, romantic or a secret third thing, I am obsessed with their dynamic.
2. in terms of John and Jade, I was reading some forums today (when i should've been doing job applications but shhhh) and apparently, people are theorizing that John and Jade are related? I wouldn't have come to this myself (all the character designs are very simplistic after all) but John and Grandpa Harley have the same square glasses and 3 buck teeth, while Jade and Nanna Egbert have round glasses and a smile with 2 buck teeth. Some people think this is intentional, and either Nanna and Grandpa had a relationship back in the day - Grandpa was a 'treasure hunter' and 'adventurer' (p.790) so probably traveled a lot - or John and Jade traveled back in time to become each other's grandparents (pretty wild theory imo, but the Skaian technology does exist for this). I'm not sure I buy it tbh, but it's theorized enough that I don't want to speculate romantically about them unless/until it's debunked.
on another note thank you SO much for linking to the clown code of ethics. I can't believe I missed this but you are SO right that Jack goes against all the clown commandments, and this would make Dad Egbert FURIOUS, I 100% accept your theory as way better than anything I thought of!
January 5-6 2025 2010
Grandpa what the fuck.
'Today' is Jades birthday and Grandpa Harley has decided that little Jade needs to learn 'THE THRILL OF THE HUNT' in the most outlandish way possible. And Im not hating! Small town Texas? Yeah, alot of people get their kids into fishing or hunting for bonding experience. But my good sir, a whole ass whatever-gun-that-is for a tiny butterfly? Kinda Overkill dont you think?
Luckily, Somebody actually cares for Jade. Bec takes her away from crazy gramps straight to where the future present had been -ificated. Bec definitely sensed the arrival with his Skaia space-time powers.
With that we get to see Johns present getting many questions answered. @homestuckreplay wrote about some of them but the one thats been stuck in my brain was why John and Jade wear the opposite of their chat color. Turns out John 'went to a weird asian store the other day and saw this rad shirt' (of course its rad! its got a slime on it) and wanted Jade to have the blue one. I find this so cute, I definitely have a shirt my friend gave me Years ago that reminds me of her even if its worn out. That he wants Jade to have something in his color to remind her of him makes me think maybe he also has a crush on her or really loves her platonically (also as in @homestuckreplay headcannons Dave having a crush on Jade. Shes very likable apparently, wonder if Rose has a crush on her too?).
And then!
Dad Egbert! Hes still kickin'! Last we saw Jack decided hed be better off handling Dad himself. While we know Jack is his name and not Spades Slick, I am spotting that spade on his clothes which is probably a nod to us that yes, rhese characters do look very similar.
Jack, having decided he is the only one who can handle Dad, brings out a spring loaded switchblade. Dad is ahead of him though and lights his hat. Jacks face morphs into one of shock, I guess he didnt think Dad was packing heat (badum tss).
Dad goes on to spray shaving cream onto the hat and then rapidly stomps out the flames. The hat is nothing more than a smoldering pile. These panels can be read in two was, the first is Dad not expecting the hat to be as flammable as it is. As such hes quick to douse the flame, as a responsible fatherly figure should.
The second is disgust.
Listen, given we are operating under the assumption Dad is himself a working clown, hes seeing these people dressed as harlequins. So far, they have been attempting to subdue him in relatively non-violent ways. Similarly, he has responded in kind with pie and shaving cream. How angry do you think he is seeing Jack pull out a switchblade in clear violation of the Clown Commandments (mycoai.com/code-of-ethics/). So of course hes gonna lash out.
I hear you arguing "But Dad brought out a lighter!" And yes he did, because now there is a threat to him and to proper clown tomfoolery. Jack doesnt deserve that hat.
You release the prisoner. He is free to go.
More like hes happy to leave your dissapointing fake clown presence.
#reblog#i mean. people on the forums also think bro is āepicā so i can't trust their opinions 100%#but it does feel like anything is possible in homestuck so i don't wanna say anything is Definitely Not True#also the clown code of ethics has a great message but is very binary in its 'gentleman/lady' language#nonbinary clowns are Extremely important. ive met at least one and they were lovely!!#OH ALSO!! i rly love you giving the Texas Perspective(tm) it is very valuable esp considering dave is from there!#chrono

hi3 is a game i cannot ethically recommend and also i haven't been playing for like a year+ bc i don't care about where it's going but my god fu hua is truly a character of all time. thousands of years of weight of duty. unethical supersoldier experiments gave her a perfect memory but only for AFTER the apocalypse completely ruined her life. once adopted seven orphans to carry on her martial legacy but her code of no mercy for those corrupted by apocalyptic energies meant they ended up banding together to kill her. but shes literally immortal so instead she just lay in a tomb in hellish pain for 20 years and then walked out one day, now with amnesia. 500 years later she adopted ANOTHER ORPHAN only to ABANDON HER because of her TURBO PTSD; said orphan died for her sake anyway in the incident that gave her amnesia Again. went undercover as a high school class president and ended up in a gay bodysharing suicide pact with the class clown. no one is doing it like her
#vera post#hi3#dont play hoyoverse games. but also hi3 is the best one#sorry some kind of sleeper programming activated in me when i saw that last post#WOMEN.#i didnt even get into any of the shit with himeko or senti bc thats too complicated but good lord

ABOUT OUR CONTESTANTS UNDER THE CUT!
ARMANI: - "Donāt you want to see a beautiful fat Italian clown get his rightful wins. Heās committed petty crime. Hes run from the cops. Heās attacked hecklers in crowds with his bare hands. Heās great with kids. He has a giant hammer. Heās a support class. Look at him." - "Armani Barone is a disgraced clown who Just recently lost his job as a clown slash lackey at a traveling shady circus (Its very mafia parody inspired . Because . Tf2 worldbuilding ) after being caught disposing bodies while in uniform, going against the clown code of ethics. In a desperate āfuck Youā he stole as much shit as possible from his employers and ran. As a result, theyāre currently hunting him down! They appear during Halloween sometimes as a little event for the team. But aside from the eternal target on his back, heās thriving. Hes a very colorful and obnoxious little guy whose primary objective is to draw attention to himself on the field. He operates mostly on looney tunes logic (but Can be killed, thankfully!)"

whatever code goblin was in charge of making tumblr live look like less of a flop to investors is A) a genius, and B) emblematic of the business model and ethics of modern social media. because the primary purpose of any company operating an app or social media is not to create a functional app/website or to garner new users or even to generate ad revenue. no.
the primary purpose of a company like automattic is to show stockholders powerpoints that make them believe that it is at all possible to make money with a website or app.
so some low-level c-suite executive threw together a shitty powerpoint about this new exciting "TUMBLR LIVE" feature they're gonna be rolling out that's gonna make us as big as tiktok, baybee. and they punt it over to a manager to punts it to a staffer who makes some charts about the success of tiktok and youtube and then jazzes them over with fun slide transitions and stock photos that will distract from the fact that those numbers don't actually mean anything.
the stockholders eat it up. they've heard of tiktok. their grandkids use that. surely they're making lots of money.
tumblr live flops. everyone hates it, no one wants it, the userbase protests. they have to install a toggle that lets people snooze it just to shut people up. but now they've got these damning numbers about the number of people snoozing it and the number of people not using it and that director who made lofty promises based on nothing starts to panic. they go to the manager and tell them to MAKE tumblr live happen. that manager goes to the staffer and tells THEM to make it happen.
that staffer is in luck because some other schmuck has been forced to shuffle the dash around and yet another schmuck was forced to put a scary clown on the dash and now everyone is using external plugins to remove the scary clown from their dash and that plugin just so happens to include a way to permanently silence tumblr live.
the only reason people are snoozing it on the app is because of the dumb fucking button at the bottom SO. instead of removing the snooze option, they make it so snooze doesn't remove the button. now there's literally no point in snoozing it on the app and all the desktop people are using plugins and this staffer gets to make a chart that says that there's been a MASSIVE reduction in the number of people snoozing tumblr live. the c-suite asshole gets to show that chart to the stockholders in a powerpoint with slide transitions they've never even heard of. the stockholders are appeased. the amount of money tumblr is making changes not at all.
the staffer gets zero recognition for this incredible bamboozle and does not get a raise btw. the c-suiter gets a raise. someday the staffer will snap and upload a virus to tank the entire website.

What is COSAH?
Okay so I got 2 asks regarding COSAH which made me realize Iāve never posted anything about it to this account which is nuts to me. Then again I donāt really share my OCs too much (oops). So Iām sharing a few comics pages I made last year (mind you theyāre pretty old and I was in crunch mode for school so theyāre a little ugly.)
COSAH is abbreviated for The Circus of Stars and Hearts! The comics revolve around Clara Campbell and Octavius Starblazer. Clara is a 25 year old clown school dropout, who has been working kids parties to help pay off her student loans and earn enough to go back to college for something else. She has a strained relationship with her overbearing parents who shamed her for even wanting to be a clown. Although she wants to pursue a different career path, Clara has a deep love for clownery and circusry, and takes the āclowns code of ethicsā very seriously. Octavius is a 27 year old ringleader who started his own circus after running away from his family (who also ran a circus). Octavius was broke and had to squat in an abandoned grocery store, which he eventually makes into his Circus. The Circus of Stars and Hearts is Octaviusā chance to prove himself to everyone that he has good ideas and that he doesnāt need his familyās help to succeed. His cousin Stella joins the circus as an aerial performer, and the squatter who was living in the grocery store before Octavius, Benny, joins as a clown/stage hand.
Thatās all Iām going to reveal about it because Iām rewriting a lot of it right now (even though I havenāt touched my comic pages since this summer) I made this comic as a project for school last year, but I really like the characters and world I managed to create out of it. Sadly I havenāt had a ton of time or motivation to work on it with school starting. During school Iām making a ton of comics for assignments and it burns me out pretty fast. I have a class next semester where I may be able to explore these characters more and I hope that I am able to!
Sorry for the lore dump. Here is the comic below!

Some of My WTNV/DC AU no one asked for:
Janet Lubelle: Then he goes "Janet we can't keep going like that, there's an ethics code for a reason."
Jonathan Crane: What a coward!
Lubelle: Right?! I tried to make him see reason, I went: "Carlos, the pursue of answers should meet no bounds. That what we call ethics are just arbitrary rules created because people are just too emotional over the truth and it's methods" and the absolute asshole just packed his things and left the university! He got transfered to Gotham because his lil baby fewings got hurt. People die all the time. They should be honored they died for science.
Jonathan: Exactally!
Lubelle: Well I couldn't let he have all the fun while not being totaly driven to understand Gotham. So I'm here.
Jonathan: And you want for us to exchange research pappers and text subjects?
Lubelle: Only some of those. Make it peer reviewed.
Jonathan: It'll be a pleasure.

Kevin: And the family would never ever stop smiling again, not only because of the scars they carved in adoration but because the Smilling God entered their minds and broke them until they were happy even as their house burn with their grandma inside. The end.
Joker: *amazed and a bit spooked* Say what?
Kevin: Oh! You only heard the end part! This is my favorite childhood fairy tale. Is soo heartwarming!
Joker: I like you!
Kevin: *smilling even wilder* Thank you, newcommer. *points to the bloodied spot in Jokers suit* You have a great taste in clothing!
Joker: Why, thank you. I also like yours. I'm Joker!
Kevin: I heard about you! Your smilex killed some of my followers.
Joker: *ready to fight* Oh bummer.
Kevin: No, no, it was great. I never saw them so happy their smilles were so wide. I had to try it for myself. Didn't work unfortunally. *almost drops smille* But not to fret! The Smilling God knows what He does, they were unable to smile by themselfs. I have no such a problem and need no solution.
Joker: And people say I am crazy.
Kevin: *threatning* This is a mean thing to say, don't you think?
Joker: Oh no, my new friend, I consider madness to be a compliment.
Kevin: Friend? Are we friends? I always wanted a friend. The last one gave me a letter and leaved!
Joker: *a bit too much in manipulative mode but also genuinally impressed with this random new crazy rogue* I would love to be your friend. Nay, your best friend. I'm a clown and it's a pleasure to meet other people focused in making everyone smile. What do you think?
Kevin: YES! *jumps excitedly* Best friends, please!
---
Charles: All I am saying is...
Tim: Look I am impressed you figured out mt secret identy and you're a really nice guy but I don't think Batman needs your help.
Charles: Carlos helps!
Tim: Carlos is a scientist!
Charles: I could help you with cult leaders and mystical stuff.
Tim: How many cult leaders Gotham even has?
Red Hood: Hey, theologist guy, I just found a third evil cult and I might be needing some- Tim?
Tim: Hood?
Charles: Hi. Jason.
Tim: Wait you know Jason's identity as well?
Charles: Yeah. And Robin's.
Tim: And you don't know who Batman is?
Charles: No clue.
Tim: How???
Jason: Can we talk about it after we deal with the new cult leader? We have two of those minor ones with dangerous cults every day in this hellhole and Huntress and I are the only ones dealing with it.
Charles: Is Helena okay? She and Sage were having some relationship problems.
Tim: I give up.
--
Batman: This is an emergency! There is a weird person following me around. They think they are hidden but they are not, they send minions sometimes, others they are there, they aren't tall nor short and dress with things like furry pants and a bow tie, no shirt; a rocking dress with a poncho and other odd combinations and always always has recording equipament . I still don't know the identity of this individual. But it seems to be a new criminal force studying their target and we should be cautious.
Dick: Furry pants and a bow tie? Recording equipament... Oh you're talking about the radio host.
Bruce: Who?
Dick: Me and Babs always listen to his show.
Barbara: I think I recorded today's show just in case we were unable to watch it on time. I'm sending it to you, B.
*recordings*
Cecil: The man who calls himself Batman striked again. Everyday he walks in the night, beats up people and buys a slice of Big Rico's Pizza. No one does a slice like Big Rico's. No one. As of late he again took out a normal family operation on the nightvalean area because apparently the taming and possession of too many antics is "iligal" and "dangerous". Now at first I was a defender of this new guy, yes it is weird he calls himself Batman and isn't visibly part bat but isn't it worse to define he isn't and has no claim on his heritage just because it isn't obvious? And he has a bunch of armed kids! Has Tamika Flyn not showed us we should trust armed heavilly trained kids? But that was then. Now he is attacking our comunity! Arresting and beating up members of our comunity and friends of our comunity. Shame on this Batman and shame on his heavilly trained kids and a bit less shame on his super cute and sexy scientist guy cause he is new and obviously is being tricked because someone as perfect as Carlos would never.
Cecil: On other news Waylon Jones also known as Killer Croc wants to talk with you. He wants to just talk something as friends and to apologize to your neighboor for potentially eating his grandma but also wants to discuss some more important details of your plans, he is going to do it at... my house? *reading* "nanana uh-hu Cecil please keep this friendly get along private" oh listerners, I'm sorry, it appears I was reading my personal text mensages instead of my notes. I'm so sorry. Silly me. The one who is going to visit you is Victor Zsass, he already has a scar with your name and his knife is ready, you know what you did.
Cecil: Finally the neigboorhood concil wants to inform that there is a Scarecrow attack planned for this friday. They recomend you cancel all your apointments and lock yourselfs at home with the aproved gas masks. This is of course the Gotham tradicional protocol. They do add to the protocol however that if you want to be hitted by Scarecrow's fear toxin do not scream degrading things like "Scarecrow hottie hit me hard with your fumes" nor be disrespectfull of his power by being overly friendly, simply go to public spaces and screem "I'm not afraid of you" or idealy scream "please no have mercy". If you are imnune to the toxin decorum also recomends you should pretend to be scared, you don't wanna hurt his feelings, do you?
