Hi sorry, I don’t rlly know how to request but I hope this makes a bit sense > _ < 👍

🧺Arthur Fleck Joker - Something about Easter, what they would do and would they do hide and seek? Idk surprise us! :3 🙌

Happy Easter too! ✨ 🪺

💐Celebrating Easter with Arthur Fleck 💐

CW: Child abuse, parental neglect, food insecurity.

First off, I can’t imagine that Arthur really celebrated a lot of holidays growing up.

He probably had the typical crafts and class parties at school, which he enjoyed very much, but what would happen at home was kind of a toss up.

If Penny was lucid, and they had the money, I can see her being the type to go all out. Most food bank programs offer special meals or food related to those meals around the holidays. Penny would absolutely take full advantage of that, and do either a turkey or ham dinner with all the fixings.

Arthur remembers these moments fondly, sitting on the couch with a full belly and maybe watching a church service or something on TV while he and his Mom decorate eggs. Having food for days after between the dinner leftovers and the eggs, which for Arthur meant eating like a king at least for awhile.

However, if Penny was having an episode or worse if they were staying with one of her so called “boyfriends?”

Well, in those cases Arthur was lucky if the day passed without ceremony like any other.

Depending on the conditions of their place, Easter could mean he got one less beating on account of the holiday and the closest thing he’d get to dinner was dry crackers and a juice box that he managed to scrounge up from the cupboards, if that.

Arthur doesn’t like thinking about those times too much. It’s just another reminder of all the happiness he missed out on and is desperately trying to bring back into his life.

After meeting and having a relationship with you, he’d probably mention all of this at one point or another when the holidays start coming around.

Even if he’s still living with Penny, or if you have your own place, you’d probably go all out to compensate for his childhood.

You’d probably go as far as to plan an itinerary and a menu, which both confuses and delights Arthur.

Him??? You’re really doing all this for him??? But it’s too much trouble, too much work, at least let him help with the-

Shush baby boy, just relax and let your partner spoil you.

First on the agenda? Special Easter breakfast.

Whether you stay over from Saturday or come early Sunday morning, Arthur is woken up by the smell of pancakes and bacon.

As far as I’m concerned, Easter breakfast is almost as important as Christmas. Especially if you come from a Catholic family and were fasting for lent like mine did sometimes.

Arthur isn’t even off of his sofa bed before you’re putting a heaping plate in his lap.

For a moment, he’d be too stunned to speak. You’d really outdone yourself.

First off, there’s a whole pile of bacon, still steaming hot and cooked to a crisp just how he likes.

“You eat every bite of that, or else.”

It’s not a real threat because you give him a gentle poke in the ribs when you say it. Arthur knows you’re doing it because you care and want him to have a decent meal for once.

Next are the pancakes. Oh my god, the pancakes.

These aren’t your garden variety, maple syrup and butter kind of pancakes.

Like yes, you’ve included those things, but also you’ve gone the extra mile and added in fresh fruit and chocolate chips and even tried to make some into fun shapes.

There’s an “A” shaped one, as well as a bunny with a blueberry eyes and a strawberry nose, and best of all, a clown with banana slice and chocolate chip eyes, a raspberry nose, jam mouth and whipped cream hair.

They’re so pretty Arthur almost doesn’t want to eat them, but does in the end because he doesn’t want you to feel like he doesn’t appreciate it.

Of course, know you’re getting a kiss between each and every bite.

It’s while he’s eating that Arthur also notices the colourful eggs that are stashed around the apartment. He’d look over at you, eyes sparkling with delight and give you a big grin.

“Are we gonna do an egg hunt???”

He can’t remember the last time he’s done an egg hunt, if ever. Even on the good Easters, usually all they did was dye some eggs to eat later since Penny was usually too sick or didn’t have the extra money to commit to an egg hunt.

You’d smile back, and lean down to give Arthur a kiss on the forehead. “Mmm-hmmm, though don’t get too excited. There’s no chocolate in these ones but they’ll lead you to your next surprise”

It’s all Arthur can to do wolf down the last off his food before he’s off like a shot, tearing around the apartment like he’s setting an Olympic record for egg finding.

You love seeing him like this and the way the childlike wonder takes years off his expression and posture. This is Arthur at his most authentic and you want to cherish every second.

You tried to be as creative as possible when hiding the eggs, even in such a small place. There’s six of them in total and Arthur finds them all in about twenty minutes.

Like you said, the eggs don’t contain chocolate but instead are plastic shells that pop open with something inside.

Arthur would spread the contents out on the coffee table and discover that it’s basically a picture puzzle with the pieces cut into horizontal strips.

Immediately, he’s all business. He’d hunch over the coffee table and light a cigarette, his expression one of intense focus.

When you try to help or give him hints, he waves you off, determined to solve this by himself and make the most of your hard work.

So of course, you oblige him. If you’re in the apartment he shares with Penny you’d probably check in on her and make sure she has something to eat, explaining that you and Arthur will be going out for the day.

If it’s a place you and Arthur share by yourselves, then you’d start cleaning up the dishes and the kitchen while he works at the puzzle.

For once the two of you have the chance to bask in peaceful, domestic silence. While you’re excited to do all the activities you planned with Arthur, you know this is what the holidays are really about. Having these quiet moments together where you can just take it slow and not worry about what’s coming next or where you need to be.

You’d just be putting the last of the dishes away when there’s an excited cry from the living room.

You’d poke your head in through the kitchen door to find Arthur, grinning triumphantly around his cigarette with the completed puzzle on the coffee table.

The picture it makes is of Gotham Central Park, specifically the front entrance.

You’d come over to Arthur and lean down to give him another kiss on the forehead.

“Good job babe, you did that so fast! How’d I get lucky enough to get someone who’s handsome and smart?”

Arthur would sit on the couch for a moment, eyes closed and basking in the praise like a cat in a sunbeam.

When he opens his eyes a few seconds later, he’d stub out his cigarette in a nearby ashtray and ask “Are we going right now?”

The way he says it is like a kid asking about Disney world, a little breathless and like he can’t quite bring himself to believe it.

That breaks your heart a little, in spite of the glow in the pit of your stomach.

It’s just a trip to the park. You’ve done it a million times or more with your family over the years, but once again this gives you a glimpse of the kind of life Arthur has had until you came along. Things haven’t been easy for him, and so he takes nothing good for granted, no matter how small.

You’d smile at Arthur and reach down to caress the side of his face with your hand

“Yeah, if you get ready in the next fifteen minutes we could probably make the 9:30 train”

Arthur would all but leap off the couch, grinning wide and with a mischievous glint in his eye.

Before you can react, he’s scooped you up into a massive bear hug that lifts your feet clean off the floor.

He’s squeezing you so tight it hurts a little, but you don’t mind. You squeeze back just as hard.

“Thank you so much for doing this” he’d murmur in your ear “I love you so much”

He’d punctuate that statement with a long, deep kiss where he almost leans you into a dip. He’d taste like smoke with a hint of maple syrup, which makes the warmth in your gut blossom and spread in a pleasant tingle across your body.

When the kiss breaks off you’re flushed, panting and unable to say anything more than a half mumbled “you’re welcome”

its rlly shitty quality but i did a sketchy drawing of velma kellys dressing room! its got elements of the actual one from the movie but you see that room in fragments for like 5 seconds so i made most of it up <3

[smellycinnamonthundahfudge]

Alison's Allusions & Alliterations (Pt. 1 - Lover's Links 💖💖💖)

yeah, i don't rlly follow taylor's or her associated pips' social or irl lives... but, i do pay attention and remember stuff and details when it comes to her music tho...

sooo, this is the start of the series imma make about the easter eggs or connections in her songs heheh 🤗🤗🤗

now without further ado, let's talk about Lover 💖

one thing that i noticed from seeing a post showing all of Taylor's albums, all 9 of em, is that after every 3 albums, the next one tends to be very specific to who she is.

so like, Taylor Swift (Debut), RED, and Lover.

personally, when i think of taylor, i do think about love, and idk i just think that when she kinda shakes up her image and music style after every 3 album eras, she tends to focus in on something that defines her. (which i just think is a pretty dope idea hahah)

and also (i know this next part might be reaching, but i stg if my suspicion winds up right...), i think she actually drops clues for them in the penultimate (second to last) song of the previous album.

the penultimate song for speak now, is last kiss.

and i mean, when we think of RED we think of the lipstick she wears right?

in the deluxe ed, i think the penultimate songs (one for the additional tracks, the other for the official tracklist) is if this was a movie and back to december

and both of those mention red things, taylor's heart for itwam and roses for btd

(and oh god yes i know reaching she probably might mention those all the time?? heart at least yeah (i'll get back to you on the roses once i review her entire discography again hahah) but istg there just might be a connection considering what the current last third album is and what the penultimate songs there are)

and the penultimate song for rep, is ciwyw, which yalls might now, is the one that has the line that mentions the word Lover.

"I'm laughing with my lover making forts under covers"

and so i bring this up because i think this could serve as a hint for what TS10 could be.

the penultimate song/s are closure and right where you left me.

both of which feature paper, letters, pages specifically.

the lyric/mv for closure featuring a sheet of paper

with the lyric "Yes, I got your letter" and the lyrics of rwylm having "Matches burn after the other Pages turn and stick to each other"

sooo considering that taylor's album eras revamp after every three albums is centered on who she is, (her debut, RED, and Lover), i think it's certainly possible for the next album to be about her as a writer, since that is very much a defining quality of hers, and that it might connect to paper imagery/motif

alright that's the first Lover related connection i couldn't stop thinking about since the possibility i might actually be right in my prediction is just too exciting to pass up hahah.

the next ones, i think, are actually more legit connecting threads/easter eggs (not to mention, i'm finally going to deal with the other part of the title i made and the one that inspired this whole series in the first place hahah) so here we goooo.

it actually starts in reputation, but, i think it's featured significantly in Lover AND in folklorevermore.. sooo

Call It What You Want

it has the lyric "I want to wear his initial on a chain round my neck"

i think the theory that the title connects to a certain person in taylor's life has credence because of that lyric, and the fact that this alliterative connection repeats throughout the next albums.

i mean, it's the only lyric in rep that brings to mind that person's name (as far as i remember lol). and the fact that it brings up the chain on her neck...

i just think that it should be paid attention to, so i think the title could be very significant, and that it does have something to do with the person's name... the lyrics hint at it significantly imo heh.

(plus chain,, call,,, both c?? significant?? just fun alliteration? hah)

(also, ciwyw's lyric/mv also contained some pretty personal footage of taylor's life, so... seems pretty significant/important imo...)

and ykno what i think would solidify the alliterative connection of the letter C in taylors works starting from ciwyw??

the next songs after it that feature C significantly are

Cruel Summer, Cornelia Street, Death By A Thousand Cuts, cardigan, champagne problems, no body, no crime, coney island, cowboy like me, closure

bangers, right?

hah no- i mean yeah it's true, but i just think they're significant songs.

Cruel Summer, cardigan, and champagne problems are all second songs in the tracklist (remember how ciwyw was the penultimate aka SECOND to last song in rep?)

dbatc, nbnc, and coney island (spoilers if you haven't listened hahah) all deal with death

and oh gosh wait Cornelia Street and coney island are also one of the few songs named after places taylor's written, and THEY BOTH START WITH C.

and also closure is the penultimate song like ciwyw

and idk, i guess... for cblm maybe there's some significance to the fact that the only actual (like, as in, confirmed written in the song) happy ending song in evermore has c in it... so idk...

and lastly, i just wanna bring up that in the lyric/mv of ciwyw

there's this footage

which takes me to that paper rings lyric

"I'm with you even if it makes me blue Which takes me back To the color that we painted your brother's wall"

and... uh... cowboy!taylor?!?!? 🥺🥺🥺🥺???

(and idk the first line in ciwyw also features c heavily, "my castle crumbled overnight. they took the crown but it's alright" and maybe the laughin with lover under covers?? honestly dk anymore hahah it was the word that rhymed with the next album eras revamp album title tho... hahah)

so... i think that's officially it for the lover/ciwyw related connections hahahah

the last lover related connection i realized on my own but idk if anyone's noticed already (but there's a good chance tbh) but i just wanted to keep a record of it for myself heh.

it has to do with its music videos heh

remember the whole after three albums, revamp starting with who she is, like defining traits of hers and stuff?

so like, there's just this connection to debut, red, and lover, i think..

and considering that debut is taylor's first album, and lover is her first OWNED album, so they're both firsts...

i think lover paralleling/referencing debut is significant heh

here are the ones i noticed heh:

oh godh, i know the pink phones are probably significant but... is the wall behind taylor in me being blue which is the color of the top she's wearing in that scene also significant??

i just... the color scheme between these two shots tho right??

but anw, the other references

taylor wearing long gowns that flow into surrounding effects in both her first albums heh...

(also does she just have usual go to poses or was she intentionally referencing how she acted in our song's mv? idfk anymore hahahah (yes, it took me a while to get these specific parallel shots help hahah))

and also i think the lover rooms are albums theory is top notch, but, i'd argue that the attic and the bathroom are interchangeably 1989 and rep, meaning, i think the bathroom can be rep and that 1989 can be the attic

rep heavily features blue, it being mentioned in delicate and gorgeous. dress has that line about spilling wine in the bathtub. and taylor and her lover swimming in the fishbowl could be considered them dancing with their hands tied... (heh.. 😏)

and i think of the attic as 1989 primarily because of the projector...

they were watching personally captured images/videos on it, weren't they??

and, remind me, what's the album cover of 1989 again??

a polaroid.

the room's almost like a polaroid what with the white blanket right in the middle of it flashing images, for crying out loud hahah.

i know i said that that's the last one, ... but i just remembered some more and am now officially too tired to scroll & look where i said that and edit sooo...

gah. here's some more.

my my my is primarily featured in mary's song (yet another connection bet debut & lover), but it also shows up in ciwyw and in 2 of lover's songs

ciwyw - the first lyric is my castle right? well that word is repeated in the lyric video

lover - you're....??

you're MY MY MY MYYYYYYY... lover

dbatc - it's repeatedly sung at the very beginning of the song, like a background choir or somethin

not to mention the iconic lines in the bridge of

"My heart, my hips, my body, my love My time, my wine, my spirit, my trust"

and i think this repetition/throughline has meaning

mary's song is a song about commitment, a staying through love that persists for years up to marriage.

i think that's what the mys represent

taylor's commitment to the person

from it being an idea in mary's song, it hinted at in ciwyw, to eventually being very prominent in lover, and then to it becoming a haunting/almost taunting repeating echo in dbatc...

i think it shows the journey of mys, of commitment with someone you're willing to spend the rest of your life with, becoming first a dream, to a possibility, to reality, to the past

and officially finally... i think me is a break up song... 🤷

i think this cause it's post dbatc in the tracklist which just gives it a whole diff energy.

it reminds me of what taylor said about RED (TV), about "moments of strength, independence, and devil-may-care rebellion" happening in the land of heartbreak.

and... the original composition of it, as seen in miss americana, from the piano... makes it sound very sad...

and i mean, if you listen to it...

"I promise that you'll never find another like me"

doesn't that sound just like the taylor red quote i put up there^ ?

(also, a bunch of songs that have the word me in it, usually have you. like, you belong with me, i'm only me when i'm with you, and you all over me. but with me... she's all by her lonesome, just me, no you...)

GAH. THAT'S IT I'M DONE. THE END. (for the lover's links anyways hahah. like i put there, this is only part 1, sooo... stay tuned for pt. 2, and i'll see ya later, folks hahah. this was kinda fun tho hahah.)

[incorrect-lalins-curse]

RANDOM THOUGHT OF THE DAY: if the gang played amoung us what would their usernames be? i conisdered that some (David and Cody mainly) and maybe some of the others would have easter eggs to what there powers or what they themselfs are like Davids would involve something psychic like some sort of inside joke i thought way too much into into this --_-

unfortunately i'm about as clever as a sloth so i can't rlly come up with any clever nicknames myself, but i'll put this out there anyway so other people can make suggestions if they want! sorry it took me so long to get to this ask ;;

C h A N A I’m lowkey running out of ways to arrange your name at the beginning of my messages 😔 but n e ways I was reading through some of your responses to other asks and omg they’re actually really insightful and bring up things in your stories that I didn’t notice :> Your response about how AYSIB’s JK likely wouldn’t save OC because of just how is character is, and I definitely agree- he seemed more like the “I know this is an issue and I don’t want xxx to happen” but wouldn’t actually spend

The energy to fix what he believes is wrong. Kind of like a go with the flow and be sad over the problems I face instead of actually dEALING with the problem ?? But yeah I think the detail of how he relies on alcohol a lot was very helpful in characterizing his... character 🤡 OMG I’M SO SORRY I SUCK AT PUTTING M THOUGHTS TO WORDS JKLSJFDK I’m sorry I never really give any good feedback and I probably miss out on 28299 tiny writer details you include 😭 anyways if you wrote a 350K word slow burn

I’d cOmbust SLOW BURN IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE hehe aLSO no I am too chicken to watch horror I’ve never watched a single horror movie in my life,, even reading the summaries and verbal descriptions of horror movies make me scared so don’t worry Chana you are less chicken than you believe :,,) hoUh sorry for this gIANT ask (I swear the word limits on asks annoy me sO MUCH also so does the robot checker thing jkljfldks TUMBLR I’M NOT A ROBOT) and I hope you have a good day :)) 🌻

I APPRECIATE YOUR CREATIVE ARRANGEMENTS 🥺🥺🥺

ah yes i lOVE expanding upon my characters in asks LOL i’m still waiting for the day someone catches all the little easter eggs i’ve hidden in a lot of my stories 🥰 and yes you’re aBSOLUTELY CORRECT! i imagined jungkook as sort of a “i pretend i do not see ➖👄➖” kind of character LMAO. i do really pity him :(( if he weren’t such an alcoholic maybe he would’ve taken some action 😳😳 (lowkey reminds me of a WAY less misogynistic way MORE princely version of hamlet but ok)

YOU DO NOT SUCK AT PUTTING YOUR THOUGHTS INTO WORDS BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND YOU JUST FINE!! ALSO??? YOU LEAVE SUCH GREAT FEEDBACK?? DO NOT APOLOGIZE!!! i LOVE hearing what you have to say and you’re an absolute DELIGHT to reply to 🥺🥺🥺

AND YAY! i’m not an aViD fan of slow burn per se, but i do enjoy a nice long ass fic once in a while. so hopefully one day i’ll be able to replicate something as lengthy and worthwhile in my works 😀😀

OMFG NOT EVEN /ONE/ HORROR MOVIE? (i can’t rlly say anything tho cuz the scariest thing i EVER watched was... bird box 😐😐🧍🏻‍♀️🧍🏻‍♀️) the way i used to think CORALINE was the scariest movie existing 😐😐 it says a lot about my horror tolerance levels LMAO 

no need to apologize for giant asks omg. i love reading through everything!! and yes, sending asks on tumblr is a mf pain in the ass :/ like why on earth is there a character limit of only 500 fjsldfjlsdkfj

thank you! (but i lowkey had a stressful day ngl watching the us divide over a historic electionfjsdkfjsfj) i really hope your day was much better than mine!

11, 19, 25? or if you've gotten one of those (or just want to!) do a wildcard. :)

11. What do you envy in other writers?

w o r d  c o u n t. also just like,, the amount that they update?? that goes hand in hand with word count lol but yeah. wish i had the time/commitment/attention span to write anything longer than like 3k and post more than like once a month but alas i am a worm

19. Is there something you always find yourself repeating in your writing? (favourite verb, something you describe ‘too often’, trope you can’t get enough of?)

i answered this a while back here but i talk a lot about the way people move. like a lot. like a lot a lot. probably too much. also i have this habit of like falling into super long-winded metaphors that don’t rlly make any sense but they sound pretty so i write them anyways 🤡

25. What part of writing is the most fun?

i love it when i can finally like,, settle in and just be like yes i am writing now. the words are coming out of me and there is nothing i can do about it. i am merely a conduit for these two idiots to fall in love and hopefully make some people happy reading it. it’s a nice feeling >:)

~WiLd CaRd~

idk if anyone noticed this but uhh,,, in part 4 of AIAGS i talked about how horacio takes his coffee and the mug he uses right....
