#they said my patient's sis was 16 and younger than him when she was 19 and the oldest sibling

[sorry-i-got-the-jams]

Well, I have a theory. Press said the kid found was 3 but press is prone to get the ages of people wrong. I've seen that happen too often, having news covering cases I'm working in and having most of the information wrong, specially when it comes to age, so maybe Arthur was actually 6 and they heard he was 3 and that is. And about physical shape, a highly abused kid could look as way younger. Kids who go through trauma may stop to grow up and develope, specially if they are also malnurished. So maybe Art seemed younger and the press got it wrong. And then what Todd says is right and the movie doesn't lie. It all makes sense given the context of abuse, tbh.

Or it could just be a silly mistake, but I want to believe.

Arthur Fleck birthdate and real age.

I’ll hate to rain on your parade about Arthur Fleck birthdate but don’t believe what wiki says. Believe what’s it written in the movie. All the informations are written in penny fleck’s files that Arthur is reading. 

Here are the screencaps. 

First Penny fleck already had been locked up in arkham previously when she was 15 years old. In 1952, she was locked up because of what happened and what she did to his 3 years old son.  She was 25 years old.

as for his birthday unfortunately it’s written unknown

so based on this, if he was 3years old in 1952, he is probably 32 years old in 1981. 

Even if we don’t know is real birthdate, it’s simple to not be confused between a kid who is 3 years old and 6 years old. The difference is huge in physical shape.

“Buenos días, Camila.”

Camila smiled as Elisa spoke. Opening the front door wider for the woman and her children to walk in.

“Bueno días, Elisa.”

“Hi!”

Camila chuckled as Eddy’s voice rang out loudly and she looked down to find him looking up at her, his hand moving frantically as he waved, Esperanza waving as well though much quieter as per usual. Camila watched as the children walked into her house. She had been to their house plenty of times, the children used to her now, but they had never been over to her home. Eddy bounced on his feet, unable to contain his excitement while Esperanza looked around silently, her pacifier moving slightly as she suckled and observed her new surroundings. Her round dark eyes finally settled on Cam and squinted as she smiled. Camila returned it before looking back at Elisa. Her long thick hair was pulled back into its usual ponytail though it was now slicked back perfectly. She wore grey slacks and a white blouse, black pumps on her feet. Camila gave a low whistle and Elisa hushed her, a pink hue coming to the roundness of her cheeks.

“Ay, nena.”

Camila laughed lightheartedly as she helped the woman unpack her children’s things.

“You look amazing, Elisa.”

The woman swatted at Camila, trying her best to hide her smile as she pulled out a lunchbox.

“Esperanza’s milk and her cup are here too. Just give it to her if she gets grumpy. I have their food in here too.”

With a tilt of her head, Camila took the lunchbox.

“I told you that you didn’t have to bring food. I can feed them here.”

“I know.”

Shaking her head, Camila took the lunchbox into her kitchen and placed it in the fridge, already knowing that she wasn’t going to take anything from there unless there was something specific the kids wanted to eat. Camila knew Elisa was running short on money and groceries for children wasn’t cheap. Better to keep that for when she was sending them to school. Elisa finished unpacking the back just as Camila returned to the living room to hear Elisa lecturing the children.

“Ahora, compórtate. Haz lo que ella diga, no causes ningún problema.”

“Si, mama.”

Eddy responded and threw an arm over Esperanza’s shoulders, hugging his little sister into his side. Elisa nodded, sufficed and pulled her children in for a hug, pressing a kiss to the tops of their heads. She turned them and pulled Camila into a hug of her own, the younger woman’s eyes going wide for a second before she settled in and wrapped her arms around her neighbor. Elisa spoke gratefully into Camila’s ear.

“Gracias por esto, mi amor.”

Elisa pulled away and Camila gave her a warm smile.

“Anytime.”

Elisa turned and waved once more to her children before heading through the living room and to the front door. Camila followed with the children, watching as Elisa walked down the driveway and across the grass to her own driveway. To Camila’s side, she heard Esperanza whimper around her pacifier as she watched her mother leave. Camila quickly reached down and offered the toddler her hand, which she quickly used both of her tiny hands to latch onto.

“She’ll be back, corazón.”

Esperanza looked up at Camila and nodded, tilting her head to rest her cheek against Camila’s thigh. Eddy, however, was already back inside, pulling his trucks out of the backpack that his mom had brought and beginning to play with them on the rug of Camila’s living room. Camila turned and ushered Esperanza ahead of her, not wanting her to see her mother drive away. Instead, she bent down to pick up on of Eddy’s toys and held it out to the younger sibling who took it and sat down cross-legged. With a smile, Camila stood back upright and opened her mouth to ask what they wanted for breakfast when her phone began to ring in the kitchen. Jogging over, she picked it up and looked down at the screen, an involuntary smile coming to her face. Swiping across, she brought the phone up to her ear.

“Hi, cariño.”

She could hear the smile in EZ’s words as he spoke.

“Hi, preciosa. Good morning.”

“Good morning.”

He had spent the night in his trailer the last couple of nights, club business having him busy until the early hours of the morning. He didn’t want to be waking her up when he came in so late so he’d elected to stay there, but three whole days of not sleeping next to her were already creating an aching longing within him.

“Are you busy today? I miss you.”

Camila’s hearts swelled at his words, but she winced at the same time.

“I’m not busy with plans but I am watching the kids from next door. I told their mom I would take care of them for her today. I was just about to see what they want for breakfast. Maybe you can swing by, come eat with us?”

Camila offered up the opportunity. She wasn’t sure if he was going to want to spend his day around kids when he had just wanted to be with her. To her surprise, his tone was cheery as she accepted, and she could hear his smile once again.

“Yeah, that’s cool. I just wanna be with you.”

Camila’s cheeks hurt with the width of her grin and she nodded, more to herself than anything.

“Well then come be with me.”

The couple said their goodbyes and hung up, Camila placing her down onto the counter and turning to walk back to the kids. They looked up as they felt her presence and she appealed to them.

“French toast?”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

Camila had barely finished whipping up the eggs when she heard the rumble of EZ’s bike coming up the street. Esperanza sunk into herself some at the noise while Eddy raced out of the kitchen and into the living room to look out of her window.

“Is that the man with a motorcycle?!”

Camila laughed to herself at the enthusiasm of the boy and nodded.

“Yep. That’s my boyfriend.”

Eddy’s eyes got impossibly bigger and he snapped his head over to stare at Camila.

“Wow. You’re so cool.”

The older sibling sprinted back into the kitchen then, asking questions one right after the other.

“Do you ever ride on his motorcycle? Is it scary? Does it mess up your hair? Do you get bugs in your mouth?”

Camila laughed heartily at his questions as EZ walked in through the already unlocked front door. Eddy looked at him from the kitchen then whispered to Camila.

“Is that him?”

“Mhm.”

EZ secured the door behind him and then turned. He beamed as he laid eyes on Camila, having missed being home with her.

Home.

He wasn’t sure when, but at some point, home to him had come to mean Camila’s house and he felt his heart flutter at he thought about one day owning a home with her. One that they shared, that they could call their own. For now, her home was more than enough for him and she walked into the kitchen, eyes now pulling away from his girl and toward the two children standing beside her, staring up at him with eyes like saucers. He imagined how he must have looked, a leather-wearing stranger towering over them. They had seen him a couple of times before when they were playing in the front yard and he would go to see Cam. He would wave and they would wave back. That was at a distance though. Taking a knee, he put themselves at their height and made sure to keep some distance as he smiled softly. He waved at the two of them, the boy waving back quickly while the girl hid much of her face behind Camila’s leg, only one of her big, brown eyes peering to look him over.

“Hi. I’m Ezekiel, you can call me EZ.”

“I’m Edwardo, you can call me Eddy.”

Camila laughed softly behind her hand as Eddy parroted EZ’s words, wanting to look cool.  EZ looked up at her as he heard her laugh, his smile widening before he looked over at the girl.

“Y tu, muñequita? What’s your name?”

She looked up at Camila who reached over to run her hand over EZ’s hair lovingly. The child then relaxed some, trusting Camila and unhiding her face from behind her leg, reaching a tiny hand up to pull the pacifier from her mouth. A squeaky voice came from her pouty lips.

“Esperanza.”

EZ wasn’t sure exactly what it was. Maybe it was her high-pitched tone or the way that she accentuated her name perfectly, but EZ thought she was the cutest thing in the whole world and his eyes turned into near slits as he smiled.

“Que nombre bella.”

Esperanza smiled and bashfully hide her face behind Camila’s leg again. EZ’s smile remained and he looked up at Camila, her eyes full of love as she looked down at him. Standing back up, he leaned toward her and pressed his lips against hers. He spoke against her lips after he pulled away some.

“Y que mujer bella.”

Camila smiled and pecked him once more before they pulled away entirely, Eddy standing patiently as he waited for them to finish.

“Are you gonna make the French toast now?”

Both adults looked down at the brother and Camila nodded, ruffling his hair as she knew he was hungry.

“Yep. We’ll start making them now.”

EZ smiled and rested his hand on Camila’s shoulder, squeezing softly.

“I’m gonna go wash my hands, then I’ll come help out.”

He walked away from the trio and headed to Camila’s bathroom, running his fingertips over her memorial altar gently as he passed. Turning on the faucet, EZ’s mind drifted to the last couple of days. As if things weren’t complicated and messy enough, Angel had let EZ into his clique, taking him out to the desert to introduce him to the side project he, Coco and Gilly had been working on.

Los Olvidados.

EZ couldn’t believe Angel, but he didn’t have the right to judge, considering the secret he still harbored. He worried about Angel. For his safety, for his future. His goal and intentions wouldn’t matter if the club found out what he was doing. Angel wanting to ‘save’ the club could very well end up being its demise and the thought made EZ anxious. He had a lot riding on this deal, KJ still poking around. If Angel’s connection to Adelita blew up, who knew what other secrets it would uncover. EZ swallowed dryly and looked down, the soap long gone from his hands. Shaking the excess water off, he shut the faucet and grabbed the towel hanging from the rack, drying his hands as he looked at his reflection. Just when things seemed to be settling down, more dirt got kicked up and the only thing that would be able to soothe his worries was Camila. Hanging the towel back up, he unlocked the door and walked out of the bathroom, down the hall. He walked through the living room and slid out of his kutte, hoping that removing the leather would make him seem more approachable to the tiny humans. He tossed it down onto her couch and walked toward the kitchen, stopping as Camila came into view.

She stood at the stove with her back to him, relaxed in her shorts and t-shirt. Eddy was beside her standing high on his tippy toes as he watched her dunk the piece of bread in the egg mixture before placing it onto the skillet, one hand hanging onto the hem of her yellow top. She held Esperanza, the toddler sitting high on her left hip, head resting on Cam’s shoulder and facing EZ. The little girl smiled softly as she saw him and then wrapped her arms around Camila’s neck, snuggling into her. EZ couldn’t see Camila’s face, but he could only imagine the joy she wore as she tilted her own head some, resting it against the child’s.

EZ swallowed as he took in the sight, a sudden surge of longing hitting him. He didn’t think about children often, in fact sometimes outright avoiding the thought of them. To think of them hurt. It brought back the memories of the anguish he felt learning that Emily had been pregnant, only for her to tell him that she was going to get rid of it in the same breath. He hadn’t regretted letting her go, he had felt that it would be for the better. Had he known she was carrying his child though, his reaction and handling of the situation would’ve been much different. He would’ve done what he had to do, whatever it was, to make sure that his child had a decent life. That opportunity was snatched away from him though and thoughts of children weren’t thoughts that he enjoyed having. Now in this moment though, for the first time since he could remember, the thought made a warmth spread through his chest. He could feel the scene in front of him differently. He could picture coming home after club business and walking into to see Camila as his wife, holding their children as she cooked dinner. He could picture a future with her where she gave him a family. Looking at her now, children in her motherly presence, he felt hope. He could hear Angel’s words repeating in his head.

“I know after Emily, you didn’t know if you were gonna get another shot at a family or whatever. I think maybe this is your chance.”

He watched as Cam grabbed the spatula and slid it under the first piece of French toast, turning to place it down onto a plate. In her movement, she saw EZ standing there from the corner of her eye and turned fully, facing him now. His eyes stayed glued to her, Esperanza still resting on her shoulder as she held her. Cam’s brows furrowed as she looked at him, unable to read his expression.

“You good?”

Her voice broke him out of his thoughts, and he grinned stepping forward to help her finish up breakfast.

“Yeah, I’m good.”  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~```

EZ yawned as he sat on the couch, Camila on the opposite side while Eddy and Esperanza were between them. The lights in the living room were off as they watched COCO on Netflix and the darkness was starting to reveal the exhaustion he felt after the last couple of days. He just didn’t sleep the same without Camila by his side. He had gotten too used to it and now it just felt off. Angel had asked about the bags under his eyes and EZ had told him the truth. Angel had nodded, understanding and telling him to go and spend some time with her then made a whipping noise. EZ didn’t care how whipped he may have seemed, he was head over heels for Camila and there was no way he was going to hide it.

Looking away from the tv and over at her, he saw her watching the movie, fingers absentmindedly gently raking through Esperanza’s dark locks as she held the little girl. She was sat in her lap, her cheek squished as she rested against Camila’s chest. Her eyes were heavy-lidded and they blinked slowly, sometimes staying shut for a few seconds before snapping back open as the child woke herself up, not wanting to miss the movie. EZ pushed his bottom lip out in a pout at her cuteness and whispered to Camila.

“She’s almost out.”

Camila looked down and smiled, using her thumb to motion to the kitchen.

“Can you go and heat up her milk for me?”

With a nod EZ stood from the couch, ruffling Eddy’s hair as he walked away. He got the milk from the fridge and poured it into a glass, putting it into the microwave and warming it. He looked over at Cam while he waited. She sat looking down at Esperanza, a soft smile on her face as she brushed the girl’s hair away from her chubby face, tucking it behind her ears. The microwave beeped loudly, startling him and drawing back his attention. He took the milk out and tested it on his wrist before pouring it back into the sippy cup and returning to the living room. He handed the pink cup to Camila and she mouthed a thank you at him while he sat back down. Esperanza sat up some when she saw her cup and Camila held it out to her, the sister taking it and situating herself so she was laying back in Camila’s arms drinking. Eddy was tired as well and slowly started to lean into EZ’s side more and more as the movie went on. Finally, EZ lifted his arm and held it out, offering the space to Eddy who smiled tiredly and scooted in closer, resting against EZ’s side.

It wasn’t long before the movie was over and both children were asleep. Camila and EZ looked at each other as the credits rolled and EZ silently motioned his head over to her room. She gave a nod and they both slowly maneuvered themselves and the children until they held them in their arms, walking to the bedroom to lie them down. They both placed them down gently on the mattress, pulling the comforter to cover them. With the children settled in, EZ and Camila quietly made their way out of the room, leaving the door open so they could hear. Back in the hallway, Camila turned to EZ with a smile.

“Sorry. I know you wanted to hang but I promised I would watch them. She needed to go to an interview.”

“It’s fine, Cam. I don’t mind. This was fun.”

Camila laughed and he could tell that she didn’t believe him. Reaching out, he took both of her hands in his.

“I’m serious. I had a good time. They’re cute kids. It doesn’t always need to be a club part or a ride. Just being with you is enough.”

They were both quiet for a couple of seconds before bursting into laughter.

“That was cliché as fuck.”

EZ nodded in agreement.

“Yeah, it was. I mean it though. I missed you.”

Camila’s laughter died away and she brought her arms forward to wrap around his waist, hugging him to her as she looked up.

“I missed you too.”

EZ’s smirk was prominent as he gazed down at her. Leaning down, he wrapped his arms around her as well, his hands sliding over the swell of her ass as he pressed his lips against her ear. His voice was low and husky as he spoke.

“You can show me how much once they get picked up.”
